Yep, it's in my 'Related Articles' review. :)

It's not a canon sphere, nope.  I'm actually redoing my sphere map as 
a published systems only resource, just like the timeline.  Talangran 
won't be in there, of course.

I am planing to keep it in my Jammers campaign, however.  Most 
likely, I'll place it in one of the under-developed spheres, like 
Wayspace or Pathspace.

>Did someone find anything else on talangran (canon or fanfic - as long as

Sadly, I don't believe it was ever followed up.  It was clearly 
inspired by the Spanish Empire of the 1600s, however.  I'd look there 
for ideas (and I'd stick with Spanish for names).  Oh, and don't 
forget the Dama Rosa is an advanced vessel.  Most of their ships are 
likely galleons.

I'll have info on all of these in my upcoming official Flow Map. 
Darnannon and Greatspace are really only detailed in those sources, 
though their may be an unofficial article on beyond the Moons 
detailing Darnannon.  Winterspace is detailed elsewhere, but the two 
planets we know are in it, Armistice, and Radole, are both described 
in detail in _Practical Planetology_.  There's a lot of information 
in _The Radiant Dragon_, and its one of the best Spelljammer novels.
