Peter attempts a generous-spirited retcon:

Er, except that Corflu's first appearance was on the same map as Christian's Bay. (Besides, some would argue that "Corflu" is not in itself an improvement as sensible place-names go).

For those who don't know: Greg promised William Church, the map and counter artist for "Nomad Gods", that he'd name a Gloranthan landmark in that game after his imminently-expected child. The baby arrived, and was named "Christian" by his cruel and mocking parents. And Greg therefore had to stick a "Christian" landmark onto the map of Prax.

"Christian's Bay" is where the River of Cradles flows out to sea. The name has never reappeared in print since "Nomad Gods", and a good thing too.

Surely *nobody* could be so foolish...
