Most unfortunately, the setting of Earthdawn places it on the other side of our
fair globe, in the Ukraine, and as a result, it obviously does not appear upon
any of the maps.

Admittedly, I have only perused the Earthdawn manual, and thus I cannot be at
all certain that it does not appear within the text.

Another point regarding the interconnections betwixt ShadowRun and Earthdawn...

Due to information uncovered in my recent researches on the topic, I believe
there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the figure with which Harlequin
spoke in "Voices from the Past" was Vestrial, the Mad Passion of Deceit.

The appearance and personality exhibited by the being are nearly identical to
the description and profile of Vestrial (located in the latter part of the
Earthdawn sourcebook). Also, given Harlequin's general behavior and attitude
proclivities, he would be an appropriate (former) adherent of that particular
Passion.
