Ghyll:WhereIsWhere
Revision as of 21:00, 31 January 2005 by Morbus Iff (talk | contribs) (More tweaks. Working on the Plain of Brahang.)
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: Problems:
* This map is still in-progress. * Is Mount Yurch too far away?
* Contentions are still possible. * Vale of Serdoch: no water nearby.
* Massive overhauls, however, are not. * Plain of Brahang: 55, not 80 leles?
* Problems won't happen in Round 2.
We also have the old map, which is not being maintained.
