Your sitting in a cave deep underground, the only sound you can hear is water drops from the ceiling. Everything is pit black, you feel your way around with your hands in the darkness. Crying out for the friends that left you to rot.

Somehow you suddenly see pillars of smoke over Cordor.... you wonder if your going insane. For how could you possible know what's going on in Cordor. Your hand find a slimy snail and you get a heart attack... ! :)

Suggestion:
Give the DMs a tool you make "local shout", so they pick say "Cordor" and only have their shouts reach maps close to their event. Mebye iam just old-school, but i always liked the shout channel to only be meant for OOC announcements. :)

The main challenge we have is that the module has no understanding of geography, i.e. where areas are relative to each other. We could potentially do something based on area names (i.e. all areas that match "Cordor") but that's clunky and not very good. So sorry, this is in the "more work than it's worth" pile.
