I figure Frostgrave is
A) bigger on the inside than on the outside
and
B) weirder on the inside:)

open a door to a tower and a whole new land appears beyond the door…dry and hot Desert.
Set camp next to some ruins and wake up next to a lake…
etc, etc

If you've been reading the little blue sidebar narratives of folks who've been there and seen some really weird stuff, you would also know that the city _changes_.  It defies the power of the merely human mind to track and record it.   :?

It is best to keep the city shrouded in mystery and mythology, hearsay and half-truth, exaggeration and exposition...(enough alliteration?).   Remember, you are re-discovering small neighborhoods in what was the New York City/London/Paris/Peking/Vienna of magic a millennium of hyper-blizzard ago! :o
Ok, tell me just one more time: _Where_ am i going, and _Why_  am I in this handbasket?

I agree. Any City could be used as a basis for Felstad. Paris, Moscow, Berlin, Milan etc. Personally I want things vague to keep people guessing, so 'm gonna base MY Felstad on Ancient Rome (where the river runs down one side) and Paris (for the Parisian Districts) plus a lot of stuff I make up in advance ... and on the fly.
I know the voices aren't real .... but they have such FASCINATING ideas!

Actually, If you've read the "Tales of the Frozen City", Joe mentions that his trip to the city of Tallinn was one of the inspirations for Frostgrave.
