That's the only blank spot that I can find that's anywhere close to a central location. And that is only blank because it is obscured by the map label Rohan & Gondor. If that is not the area that Jon is referencing then I can only assume that this is a practical joke on his part.Erland Hakon wrote:Jon Hodgson wrote: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.
On a related note, the label for the Eriador maps does cover a portion of the Blue Mountains that is chiefly significant for including the source of the (Upper) Lune River. That region could also include Noldorian ruins from the First Age, being north of the old fortress built by Caranthir to defend Maglor's Gap. The site(s) of one or more ancient watchtowers seems likely. Such a location would serve as a lair for the Cold-drake that I've placed in the region.
