Talk:Tanalore

So did Tanalore and its connection to Multiverses predate KQ, as part of a DND location?

Archived across the web on several webpages is a story called The Saga of Hawn Ambrosius by Jeff Standish, that apparently has assossication with DND. Although I'm not clear if it is a story published in DND or it was a story inspired by a DND players campaign, a fanfic by a DND fan. One of the earliest archives of this was on a FTP site dated in 1992.

See chapters 24 and 25.

While the story files are dated to 1992, it may have been written much earlier. How much earlier? Did it have another source?

Did Jeff Standish come up with Tanalore, and Peter Spear used it in his book? Or was Jeff inspired from reading the King's Quest Companion to use it in his story? Keep in mind that Standish's version of Tanalore although similar does not appear to take place in a universe remotely connected to KQ in anyway.

Does the concept of Tanalore go back even further? Is there another source that Jeff Standish, and Peter Spear may have referenced and drawn inspiration from?
