Except they were not.

This is mapped, though I don't have it with me. It was rather slow.

Unless they flew over it, or went under it. I have clipped a quantity of text that is thus not relevant

Would you cite this source for me?

The Elder Races have very, very long memories. You can not state what "all the Mermen" have ever done in one non-conflicting sentence. Not only are the different races sometimes hostile to each other, but ifferent tribes within one race are often hostile to each other.

Grounded Waertagi survived in several places, notably Sog City.

The residents of Jrustela are not quite sure how they got there. Each race has a couple of stories, which they admit (to themselves) are tentative, not proven.
