I'm trying to come up with ideas for a campaign that combines the following parts of the Hollow World:
- Antalian Wastes/Antalian Coast
- Beastman Wastes
- Antalian Frost Giant Jarldoms
- Icevale Elves

Mysteries
What are things to explore in the Antalian Wastes?
- Lost Blackmoor City - because every Mystara campaign needs some kind of Blackmoor connection. This could be a remnant of Blackmoor era explorations into the HW. I see it as something similar to the Dwemer complexes of Skyrim.
- Ancient Antalian Structures - A castle made from Ice Crystals, Gigantic Rune-stones,
- Beastman Caves - underground complexes where Beastmen go to become one with primal rage.
- Wooly Mamoth Graveyard
- Icevale Relic - Do the Icevale have something equivalent of the Tree of Life/Frond of Life?
- Tombs of the Immortals - Special sites dedicated to Wotan, Donar, Lokar, Fredar and Fredara
