Nice suggestion.

Yes, I am easily convinced on this one. The thrown mountains look further west than where the Ignorance Mountains are.
>A possible name for the Mountains of Ignorance could be Sortum. I know
>Revealed Mythologies has it floating around in the Kahar Sea but it

Yikes! that's a scary thought. I'm not 100% won over to it but it has some interesting implications.
>Shiyang is said specifically to be centred on the river valley which
>rules out Tzu Lung IMO. I'm tempted to argue that Hsin Yin is at best a

It has been dawning on me how far beyond the pale Tzu Lung is. It's miles from anywhere. Those beautiful brides with their melodious flutes really do have a long trek to get married.Hsin Yin I can believe is a northern border for the Kingdom of Splendour, at least for some periods of history (eg now that Godunya, native son of Hsin Yin, is Emperor),
>Perhaps Shang Hsa was mad enough to dyke the Suam Chow as a symbol of

Perhaps he was. I'm not convinced. I think I'll keep them as inhabited islands then just have a one off flood with the coming of the Blue Dragon of the Deep.

I doubt it too. I think I prefer it as a remnant of Genert's Garden rather than Sechkaul.

I interpret the two headed demons as being Pentans.
I'm glad you wrote that. I'm going to leave it up to the game to determine exactly who is fighting who at this stage so whoever it is can be interpreted as 2 headed demons.

Expelling the Secret Waters sounds like a medical complaint.

I guess, for my purposes I can leave the location of Warring Ford as where ever the battle happens. The only thing this leaves me without a name for the inland area north west of Shiyang and not quite in Ignorance.
