Is there any info regarding the large continent east of Kara Tur, across the Eastern Sea? (I am referring to the continent map from The Forgotten Realms cd atlas.)  |

Off topic, but:
Is it true that some people in Australia eat it like peanut butter? 
I wouldn't really know. Since I dislike both.
And now, I think we've all wondered far enough off-topic. So let's leave some room for possible future discussion of the scroll's original topic, eh? |

Hmmmph...... When I read it, I got a rather Sage-like feel from Gunggari.
And didn't he eat some Vegemite in that novel??

Rich Baker confirmed that particular continent is Osse, if you're looking at that map on pg. 231 of the FRCS.
All we know about the land itself has been revealed in the Lady of Poison novel -- part of "The Priests" series. Aside from a few obvious examples in the book, I usually don't agree with many who say that Osse is a direct translation of, or heavily influenced by, Australian Aborigine culture. Gunggari's mannerisms aside [as well as his dizheri], it could be said that the supposed "ways" of the Osse people could very well be associated with many other examples of Polynesian tribal cultures. I always thought the actual name "Osse" was a bit of a joke as a matter of fact...
