Hi James, I've been trying to find info on the location of Nurvatchta for a homebrew 2e campaign I'm playing in. I'm writing backstory for an Anadi homebrew character, and I'm trying to figure out where Nurvatchta is in relation to the equator. The only information I can find is that it is in Southern Garund. How south? South coast, or perhaps somewhere near the equator, or just past what is visible to us on current maps?

The main reason I'm asking is for the holiday celebrated by Anadi, "Longwalk". It's said to be celebrated on the date of Nurvatchta's Winter Solstice, which would be around Kuthona 21 if its north of the equator, or Sarenith 21 if it's south of the equator. The area south of what we have on maps right now is so huge it could be anywhere. Figured you'd be the best person to ask, an the only info I could find outside of printed material on Nurvatchta was a forum post you commented on in 2012

We haven't yet fully detailed the continent of Garund south of where the Inner Sea Map region exists. I've always imagined Nurvatchta to be not too far south of where the Inner Sea Map ends, somewhere on the west coast close to or even on the equator, but its exact location isn't something we've had the time or the product to explore in detail yet. Not sure when we will, to be honest. In any event, this is a good example of something that you as the GM should feel free to place where works best for your home game. If we end up doing something different 5 years later, your game will have a 5 year head start on us for you and your players being comfortable with that and so your choice would replace ours.

Waiting for us to have an official answer will only mean that part of your game will stagnate for a long time, alas.

Thank you so much! Definitely not letting it hang up our games or anything, just some minor details I'm considering with backstory for my character. I imagined it'd be pretty far south, but figured id check if it's something you've thought about.

Given that it's referred to as southern Garund I think it would be safe to slice the continent of Garund into 3 roughly equal sections North, Central, and South. If it was just off the current map that would be central Garund. Looking at the image we have of the world map it appears like the equator also runs through central Garund. Therefore, I think it's safe to assume they're in the southern hemisphere. That's obviously my personal guesstimate, hopefully you can get an official answer.

Here's the ask James Jacobs thread if that helps:

Thanks! Yeah those have been my thoughts as well up to this point. Thanks for the link to the thread!
