Demetrios 09-28-05, 07:48 PM	hello. are there any old second edition books that detail the lake of steam and surrounding areas? if you could list all mentions of the region ever it would rock! The Empires of the Shining Sea box set is the best source. It's mainly about Calimshan, but has an excellent section detailing the cities along the north shore of the Lake of Steam. The south shore is much less detailed, although the Border Kingdoms have been covered in a series of articles in Polyhedron magazine...
Old Sage 09-29-05, 12:54 AM	The south shore is much less detailed, although the Border Kingdoms have been covered in a series of articles in Polyhedron magazine...The entire series ran from issue #109 to issue #148. The Polyhedron issues with the Border Kingdom articles are 109–111, 115–121, 123–148. Unfortunately though... the alphabetical detailing of the cities and kingdoms finished at "O". Krash once told me that Ed, many years ago during the old TSR days, suggested that we might see a "Border Kingdoms" sourcebook which would collect and collate all the articles while adding a bit more stuff, done by some junior staffer/designer, about 6-12 months after the column had run its course. Unfortunately, this never came to pass... Ed has also told us to expect some info on the Border Kingdoms in the upcoming Power of Faerun sourcebook early next year.
