Thanks Arakor I see it on the map now. But I don't see botkinburg, the hrusen river or the barren wood. Or are they just unmapped and "fudge it" :)

thanks,

Rob

Will Aihrde be fully developed or will it go poof as Castle Zy* seems to have done?

River problems

<t>It seems to me that putting CZ/Yggs in an existing is problematic due to the rivers. If the rivers were left out I think it could be plunked into any Medieval/Renaissance era campaign area but those rivers keep giving me a hard time for where to put it.<br/> _________________<br/> thank you,<br/>...
