Epic Airship to Airship Combat
Today we’re going to get a look at another region of the world: snowy Firnfeld, long known to residents of Burren as simply “The Frozen North.”

There’s a map floating around that some enterprising ludic cartographer made showing the comparative sizes of a few particularly expansive game worlds.
