[I objected to Joerg claiming that the Kitori ruled the northern portion of 'Esrolia' on the grounds that it went against the Pharaoh's system of government].

And the relevance of King Richard is? He took power a year _after_ the King of Heortland and the Pharoah died. So whether his country did or did not include Karse is immaterial to the issue of whether the Pharaoh grouped Karse into Heortland.

I am talking about the land north of the Shadow Plateau before the Lead Hills were formed. Thus no river ran through those lands save the runnel.

Because Colymar had moved into the Dragon Pass circa 1300? Besides if the Colymar know then it does not mean that the Pharaoh knows.
