Ghyll:WhereIsWhere
Revision as of 22:26, 31 January 2005 by Morbus Iff (talk | contribs) (Getting crazier. Bute added, has lakes, linked with Q. river.)
This Where's Where article is an attempt at establishing geographical facts about Ghyll; it does not record other facts. For example, it records that the Evesque Valley is well-irrigated (and therefore must have plenty of streams), but it does not record that it used to play host to Aelfants.

Cartographer Notes:
* This map is still in-progress.
* Contentions are still possible.
* Massive overhauls, however, are not.
* Problems won't happen in Round 2.
We also have the old map, which is not being maintained.
