I think you talk about the lost portion of Middle Earth between the maps Wilderland and Mordor, an empty space that I estimate that it has a width of 40 to 50 hexagons and a height of 10 to 15. :roll:

But it seems that Jon is talking about something lacking in the middle, if I get it right.
That's probably it, but I wasn't seeing such a gap. I probably didn't look closely enough!

It's R'lyeh.

Nah, there's an Aldi there.

Surely The Hidden Spot Were Are The Naked Elf Women.

They were an annex in The Red Book called Naked Elf Women and Were To Find Them. Strangely, it has disappeared from all the copy made after.
Nothing of Worth.

Actually, upon reflection, I think the region between the Blue Mountains and the River Lune should have just been called the Plains of Lune. The plains might then be subdivided by the lower river, if necessary, into North Lune and South Lune. I just wish that this had occurred to me much earlier.

I've always known this land as Numeriador.

That comes from MERP if I'm not mistaken. I have a copy of John David Ruemmler's Rangers of the North (Iron Crown; 1985). That's definitely the work of Ruemmler and/or Peter Fenlon. C7 wouldn't be able to use Numeriador for reasons of copyright and trademark.
