I am curious about the Bleakwood. I can find few (very few) information in FFC (pages 60 and 61), for example that it is next to Bramwald. I don't know what is said about Bleakwood in Adventures in Fantasy, hopefully you can help me covering this bit. Do we find Bleakwood in any other publication?
However, east, "on the way to Bramwald" is also the Super Berry Wood (FFC, page 19). Are they independent or are they the very same wood, as far as you know?

How comes I can't find any Bleakwood (nor Super Berry Wood, BTW) on Blackmoor official maps? Are they in some other map that I missed? or is it that small wood without a name besides Williamsfort?

Actually I forgot this other Bleakwood, but I don't really know how to pitch it, precisely.

It makes sense that this was happening in 74. This might also be why it was included in the later parts of the FFC. I wonder if this was something Dave was considering to develop further for TSR, perhaps parts of what was submitted for Supplement II? It is interesting that Dave went on to use it as the setting for his own RPG.

I think many of the details from the document could apply to Blackmoor as well.

I've done quite a lot with the Bleakwood setting, over the years - but with the one published in AiF, not necessarily the canonic BM material. - I think I can go ahead and say this: From my impression, the St Pauls campaign, also influenced by Tekumel, evolved more towards a story-oriented style of roleplay. I think the change of location sort of reflects that: BM Town and environs were reserved for dungeoneering: the more distant a specific territory was to the two or three megadungeons, the more stoy-focused the games held there were. :)
