I'll add mine:
1) Major Religions: I think that IC efforts by the player base to
expand the worship of Pelor should be recognized by adding it to the
list of major reglions. If Tritherion is on the list, lord knows Pelor
should be. Speaking of which, is there some sort of underground cult
of Tritherion worshippers in Keoland? If not, why is a banned diety
listed in the "Major Religions" segment?
2) Check with Conforti to verify whether Reynard is the Great Druid,
or the Grand Druid. (The latter is used in the document.) I've heard
both used interchangably so much that I don't know which one's right
any more. I know what she was referred to in the 1E adventure "Isle of
the Ape" but I make no assumptions any more about what's canon and
what's not. Also, Reynard should not be notes as being ill unless
Charles misstated the critical event results of KEO6-03 to me.
3) Current Situation: Hannah's title has always been Countess. She
should not be called "Dame" as the latter is only a title of least
nobility (the feminine equivalent of knight) and, just as importantly,
should be kept as Countess for purposes of consistency.
4) Current Situation: Thank God that the "Earl Warren" is on death's
door, as whomever named him needs a slap in the head:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Warren
5) Current Situation: "Viscount of Nume Eor, Richart Jorgos, has taken
a staggering blow in the Court of the Land, with the proclamations he
has made in late CY 595." You might want to elaborate on this for
people that didn't play "Madness of King Jorgos."
6) You might want to make a note that we departed from the LGG by
changing "Keolandish" to "Keoish," or alternatively note that the
terms are used interchangably.
7) Classes: Why are Favored Souls assumed to be religious zealots if
clerics are not? I'd suggest that this be changed to note that Favored
Souls are treated the same as clerics by the Keoish populace who can't
(and don't want to) tell the difference.
8) The mention that paladins "don't normally worship a diety" seems
arbitrary and more importantly in contradiction to what we see PC
paladins playing at tables. IMO the region should always reflect what
the players are doing.
9) Keoland Map Key: Hannah's title is omitted; this may be deliberate,
of course, but if so it should be noted (maybe "former Countess").
Duncan's correct that Averyn ceded all claim to Linth; my
understanding from the last (only) narrative released by the current
Triad is that it was being rules in trust by King Kimbertos.
10) Keoland Map Key: "Keoland" is spelled incorrectly under #3
(basically, run a spell check on the document, there's a number of typos).
11) Keoland Map Key: #16, this is incorrect; the Barony of Sayre is
being ruled by a council of baronets until such time as the Triad
chooses a new Baron (as per the AR for "Tale of Two Lions"). Jessa's
orphaned children are being raised by Markos Skotti and his wife, if
anyone cares.
