Midkemdil map.

that map is, strange and hard to see. but if thats where they stick me.

lancehoch · Post by **lancehoch** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:45 am

Rallyraider, it is a strange map, however it went along with the theme. All of the regional maps (Midkemdil, Middle Earth, Tamriel, and Draknor) are fantasy/sci fi worlds.

lancehoch · Post by **lancehoch** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 1:53 am

Upset Alert:
#8 North Carolina State Wolfpack (reahma) upset #1 (2nd overall) Duke Blue Devils(Hath)
