08-07-05, 04:32 PM *Sigh* Slacker if you don't have the books I'm going to look very stupid in short order. I assume that by issuing this challenge you picked up on some error or conflict. If that's the case I don't really like it but I'll check.....

Okay so there is one, rather noticeable but to surprising. Before I go any further I will point out that map of Fairhaven in the 5N and the sentence written in the EH could very easily have passed each other in production without even noticing each other.

That said this is in no way a big deal and easily fixed, took me no more than five minutes to ponder and correct. Change the direction given in the EH to Southeast and the directions now place you in that red building that looks like a sideways V or checkmark. It is within easy walking distance of the railstation and along one of the major streets in the city.

However this is my interpretation and by no means is correct or that I intend to even place the Wayfinder HQ there.

08-07-05, 09:36 PM I asked because I needed to use it in a game today. Trying to point out to my players where the Foundation's HQ is frustrating when the directions and map contradict each other. I thought I may have read it wrong and decided to see if anyone else could clarify.

08-07-05, 10:23 PM Yeah, something is messed up, since the EH has the conclave two blocks north of the lightning rail station, and the FN map has the lightning rail station located on the north-west edge of town with nothing further north.

Change the EH to two blocks east, and it's no big deal.
