I was merely exploring your very interesting suggestion that Belintar saw a connection between the Magasta's Pool and the Pool of Serenity via the Blue Moon, the Artmali and the Camp of Innocence. Since there is already a (possibly very deep) pool of water near the Camp of Innocence then that makes a better candidate for the actual Pool of Serenity IMHO. If Belintar was confining his observations to things in or around Genertela then the entire connection seems a stretch. Magasta's Pool > Blue Moon > Artmali > Camp of Innocence > Pool of Serenity.

BTW, whose myths include the Camps? I only seem them in Western myth maps or God Learnerish maps. Is that something that Belintar would know about?

As for Sakum, I said *conflated*, as in he conflated Efto/Sea of Fire with Mt. Sakum. I was not suggesting that Mt. Sakum actually was a pit. In any event, Sakum is not really an important part of my argument other than it being a significant mountain in that general area.
