That really is a good title, now just a case of waiting for the book to come along."Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers." Voltaire "Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing." - Mark Twain

Don't sweat it, man... it all comes back to me. Dee is right, the Glitterburn is on the wring side of the road. Rather than reverse that map, I think I need to write up a bit of short fiction describing the Great Spring Flood of Some Year Between The Book...

Dee is right about the deliberate lack of compass directions in Citadel (although I think one slipped through the net). I meant for that to be able to face any old way that suited. As for Glitterburn Glen and the Temple of the Azure Eye, those maps were d...
