Now it all makes sense! Birmingham is Prax and Pavis! The canal running under Spaghetti Junction is the Puzzle Canal - The revitalised waterway along Brindley Place is the Good Canal - The large number of trees we have (despite what none-residents believe, Birmingham is a very "green" city from that point of view) is due to the Elf Garden. The Tower Blocks are the remnants of the Giant Walls of Old Pavis, The Iron Man is a remnant from the Plateau of Statues and Wayland's Forge is Moonbroth, where the Armies of Nomads that Roj is painting are awaiting the onset of the Hero Wars...
