I've always felt I should give you a big thank you for the Airtha maps. Many years ago, you only had the one map that covered the Stanfolde/Middlond region posted. There was little information about the world itself. However, a friend and I found just than little section of map to be incredibly evocative - it told a story to us just by the location of the towns and ruins. We based a campaign off that one map and it lasted years - probably the best game I've ever run.
It is interesting what completely different takes people can have on things when they only have visual cues to go by. Years later I came back to you site, curious if you had done any more world maps, and discovered the Airtha web pages. Your intended setting was nothing like what I had done. Turns out Airtha was very Tolkien-like while my setting was much more Diablo-like.
In a way I feel kind of bad that I used the maps for different purposes and even now have a retooled setting of the whole Brimden map that is very 4e friendly in a racial menagerie sort of way. I think I'll repay by buying some of your battle maps. Thanks for years of inspiration!
