(...) The whole Isle is made up of four Fields. Each Field is 8 x 8 Realms. I guess I should have mentioned that :) Either way - it's very large. Did that clear things up? I'll be posting an illustrated FAQ about this soon. -- Pawel (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

Wow, it's bigger than I thought! So, if Kobayashi is moored in the small cove at the very southern end of N0W6, and Llewelyn and friends are in the bay at the northern end of the realm, there's probably a good 15-20 miles between us. That's cool. (...) (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

(...) I just got off the phone with Craig Hamilton, and here is how we measured the map: 1 Realm (segment of the isle) = 32 x 32 Acres (not REAL acres) = 128 x 128 Baseplates = 32 x 32 Studs. As you can see, we have the size of the island down to (...) (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)

How long would it take to walk across one of the segments of the island? Is it something that can be done in a day? Half a day? 20 minutes? Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (23 years ago, 22-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle.org.cw)
