I have Lost Empires of Faerun. It states the Scoured Legions are currently in Northpeak which is northwest of the High Gap. I have narrowed this down to one of the spurs of the Grey Peak Mountains and suspect it must be the one closest to the Shining Falls. Can someone tell me, or show me a map, that has the level of detail I need to pin this down? The maps of The North in the map room of this web site is excellent but neither marks The High Gap or Northpeak.

First off, they have moved, and last I heard they were under the High Forest, somewhere in or around Araumycos. Thats from the War of the Spider Queen series. However, I heard they have moved again, I think in the Empyrean Odiocy IIRC.
I'll see what can do to find that locale for you. 
EDIT:
Got it - I lost a lot of what I had done for my newer version of The North map, but I had this scrap laying around -
High Gap
Note - my maps differ somewhat from the official ones, but that is the location of the gap, between the upper part of the range and the lower - the pass leads into the Fallen Lands (which I have extended there - the canon Gap is NOT in the Fallen Lands, which officially only fall out on the eastern side of the range). I added the 'X' just now so you can see it better (thats not Stormkeep - Stormkeep is the tower). |

-Now, now Markus behave. I see the boo-boo in your post.  Wasn't Vhok attacking Citadel Felbarr?

Don't know - I remember him being discussed in some thread I wasn't taking part in, being as how I didn't read the novel in question.
What? Did I make a typo?  <smirk> |

Source?
I wonder if the OP even bothered to check back here after I went to all that trouble. |

| A question to Markustay: Is the map of the Silver Marches on your DeviantART site canon or based on Canon? There were a couple of towns marked in the Turnstone Pass I did not recognize. |

That small Map?
That was done as a placement for the Fallcrest adventure in the 4th edition DMG - both Fallcrest and Hammerfast are non-canon (even in 4e - its a core adventure). The placement was as per a recommendation by Rich Baker at WotC, before the FR web-enhancement for it was available (which placed the adventure elsewhere, in the Thunderpeaks). I felt RB's idea was better, because it is closer to the 'starting location' in the FRCG.
On that Map Hammerfast (Dwarven city) replaced the canon location The Thousand Maws, as I needed it there to match the adventure-text, and assumed by 4e (1479) a group of Dwarves had outed the Thosuand Fists Orcs that were occupying the cavern-complex. As for Fallcrest - there is nothing there canonically... but there should be.
Since that area doesn't even match the official WE conversion, its now ultra-non-canon. |

-You are such a rebel Markus! Free thinkers are dangerous.

| No - I just took Rich Baker's excellent suggestion and ran with it, is all. |
