A region that lives under the shadow of Terror: Uldenor?
- origin of the Malevolence (the weird intelligent evil items that make you insane)

The Great Hall: once a place of legend, found to actually exist. Holds many tantalizing clues about the origin of dwarves. Hints of Ulduar?
The Dundran Vale: high up, verdant, peaceful, lots of mountain dwarves (aka half-giants)?

The Bleak: high-altitude, high-latitude lands. Not currently pictured on map?
The Accaust: very hot, shitty desert. Possibly the heart of the tropical desert south of the Blue Sand, very nasty.
The Shardlands: east bank, other side of mountains from Trade Lord lands. Lots of shards, not so many dragons. Another dead brood?
The Red Sand: west bank, opposite Blue Sand, yada yada. BTW, who the fuck lives in that valley?
Long-ass southern stretch of the immortals = what? Redraw?

Expand elven forest to the NE. Mercatorize.
Add the Emerald Isle: some say the mystical homeland of elves, contains the "stairway to heaven", aka planar rift to faerie?
The White Cliffs oppose the landing of anyone sailing from the Emerald Isle. NE, then. Boreal, otherwise nice.
The Lake of Stars, deep in the valley (already pictured, NE of center).
The Wend, the east bank of the HiI'mNotTheHudson Bay?

Yeah, that doesn't sound gay.

Trader Lord lands:

The Hearth: birthplace of civilization, some say. River delta, jungle, far SSE of Oathkeep. Weird (now dead) dragon brood kept humans in thrall, monolithed them. Made shifters, weird experiments. Now avoided by Trader Lords.
The Jewels: series of islands streaming into the sea. Often acquired by the wealthy as symbols of power and influence.
The Veldt: vast savannah, ultimately linking up with the northern deserts (the Bleak, the Blue Sand, etc). Giraffes, zebra, plainstriders, etc. Some remnant of the original pre-dragon civilization.
The Stonelands: home of the Stone Men, who built the eponymous giant figures of stone in unknown eons. Now mostly wild lands, some natives find refuge here.
The Arms of the Goddess: twin mountain ranges that encircle the Valley of Life, long shielding it from northern influence.
The Glittering Coast: southeast of the Pirate Crescent, home to innumerable Blood Crystals, among other things.

Lands of the Kingdom of the Sword:

The Heartlands of Tirr: Tirnor, Daenoth, Ulden Caer, etc
The Crownlands: Obrith, Brinn, Valte...everything won in the Great War
The Umberlands: Ahrimid lands, Uldenor (?), etc
The Far Marches: The Mageholds, Kurland, everything claimed since the end of the Auld Empire
