I Think I Missed the Boat for Shared Campaign World

RPGbloggers Network is making a shared campaign world which appears to be a pretty cool idea. I have been just so busy with work and family and gaming in my home game and the RPGA. Anyway, I have this tortoise city that would be perfect to share called Cork since it has gone missing from my world. I have drawings and a basic map and a bit about the city here.
Cork is kinda like the “Black Pearl” from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. It is a city that was once full hard working studious folk and was home to a great college that held copies and original great works from ages past. These days it is a place of chaos and villainy taken over by a band of orcs, or so that is what people believe. Many mysteries abound for those who seek out the great tortoise city and explore the halls of the ancient college.
I wanted to add it to the shared campaign world but I think I missed the boat. Drat. I get so many emails and so little time to read them all. Anyway check out what these guys are doing here. I thought Cork would fit in well wandering around hexes 0303 and 0304 on the map.
If you are taking part and want a mysterious wondering small mountain sized tortoise to pop in from time to time, I figured the red areas on the map is where the tortoise could potentially be found. Honestly, Cork could go anywhere that is moderately level. I posted a blank scaled map of Cork’s shell and you can draw out the city any way you want. I will be scanning in my Cork map and posting it soon. I should point out I am not part of the “official” campaign so don’t take my quick edit of the campaign map as anything other than my Sunday morning doodle of where I think Cork would wander.
Hey if you do draw a map of Cork let me know and I’ll post it on my site. Just send me a link to the map and I’ll write a post about it.

If no one else thinks its a good idea. Cork is welcome to walk around 0403
Hex 0403 would be great for Cork. Thanks! Unless, of course, if someone disagrees, then drat.
