County Equivalents

The kingdoms in Arthurian Britain are roughly connected with the
present-day counties, but many of the names have been changed. Since
the Player’s Map included in Knights Adventurous is not very detailed,
I have worked out the equivalents for the Pendragon names so that GMs
can use a modern map of Britain to find locations for adventure
settings in the various regions. In the following list, I have
excluded those Pendragon kingdoms whose names and areas are the same
as the present counties, such as Essex.

For those with access to it, the "A-Z Great Britain Counties Map"
published by the Geographers’ A-Z Map Co. Ltd. is recommended as one
of the few maps around with the counties clearly defined (rather than
a road atlas). This map is on the same scale as the Pendragon
Player’s Map, which makes comparison easy.
