Before I got into world-building, I had worked on The Windy Isle as a starting place.  (In retrospect, with a number of changes, and with the exception of [[TheCityOfHolden]] in [[WorldOfCoroth|Coroth]] I think I probably could have stayed here.)
Looking at the few maps I had drawn up, it is evident that I was looking for a mixture of politics as well as a geographically diverse locale for my adventurers to explore.  Going through my notes, which you'll see later on, I think there was a lot of potential for intrigue.
