General:Obscure Locations

Jump to: navigation, search

This page is a fan resource for cartophiles, meant to document obscure locations mentioned only in lore.

Keep in mind that the sources may contain vague hints to the following locations' placement, and should be referred to before plopping them somewhere on a map.

Key[edit]

  • Locations with italics are regions which have appeared in Official Canon before appearing in Unofficial Canon.
  • Locations with (†) symbols to the right of them are regions not referred to by the source, but are there to help pinpoint exactly where the location is.
  • Locations with (?) symbols to the right of them have questionable validity in regards to their location or actual existence.
