the corsairs prey on the trade coming from and going to Akershule ?

Also, the barbarians living in the hills (and mountains ?) west of Akershule are
the same as (or related to) the tribes (of as yet unknown race, but perhaps
Trogod) which inhabit the mountains on the eastern border of The Green ?

That is the way i'd kind of pictured it. From east to west - Sun Mountain, Desert, plains/stepps, Portal/River Jule, Foothills, Mountains, Green. That is the rough placement I was picturing. More mountains to the north of Portal, probably a branch off of the same range as borders on the Green.

Hmm, this possibly creates a problem with the boiling oceans creating the moisture for the Green. Will think about that. Maybe the sun mountain/boiling ocean should be to the north or south instead.

Same barbarians seafarers is exactly what I had in mind. I look forward to exotic items and races from the green visiting the markets of Portal.

I was kind of thinking that the Green might be a ways off from the heart of the civilized part of the world. The pirates would sail seasonally great distances for raiding and traiding and then retreat back to their hidy holes in the swampy vastness of the Green.

Soltakss Discussed having several cities in his post on the Green. Maybe the eastern Green could have some cities while the western hook area would remain rather unexplored and isolated...good place for pirates to hide.

I think the moisture for The Green should be no problem. With mountain
ranges on three sides, and rivers from all three mountain ranges flowing
down into and through the same basin, The Green should receive enough
water, I think.

As for the pirates, I think the distance between Corsair city and Akershule
could still be quite great, with the foothills and mountains and half of the
river valley between The Green and the mouth of the Jule.

Cool!

I keep getting distances and sizes all messed up in my head. When I drew that original map of the green up I was thinking of a whole different scale(much) smaller. Then I look at the world map and how big it and Oy! The Green is as big as Europe.

Big is good though.

Spawn 'em, then make everyone wear frog-skins would be more like it.

Wear? Oh. And I though they went well with bacon bits and sour cream.

They have. No one noticed.

I just get a kick out of the idea of someone training frogs to haul cargo.

....Pulling a tiny wagon...

There's two wheels on my wagon and I'm just hopping along ......

O.K that last one did it! I think the first deity for the Green will be a Totemistic, Trogod, two headed, frog god. One head is called Frogspawner who represents Amphibian fertility, the other, Frogskinner who represents Amphibian death.
