For one, Dahngard and Lund aren't in the "West", they're all across the 'middle' of the continent.

That's all, really. It just suddenly started irking me because it was confusing.

They're really Central Lands.

*shrug* They're Western comparative to Avalon City (or I guess, Trevena).

A rare albino mouse. Though if there are so many given out as prizes this year, one must wonder why they're dubbed 'rare'.

Using carcasses as stepping stones.
Also the lands have been reorganized many times and Lyra's map isn't 100% accurate due to this.

Nope you would be wrong, those two lands are clearly in the west as you may consult below

Now if you want to be picky then the cloudsweep peaks (the spine of mountains that runs the length of avalon (contenate) should be in the western lands not north... but ti looks much better this way so you shouldn't complain.

Ahem. When I first designed that map (the land layout stuff is [c] Sir minus the changes over the years mostly added by LJ and whatever creative license our new map artists used) the forum name for the Isle of Fincayra was 'Eastern Lands - Isle of Fincayra' (or something like that), so the Western Lands were in the west in relation to Fincayra. That's why the Northern and Southern Lands sorta stretch out more east than the Western part. Old map, but not the oldest one.

Though seeing as Fincayra is very much an independent kingdom now, I see more reason in them being called the Central Lands or Middle Lands. But I do get what Kael is trying to say.

*goes back to staring at all the awesome little pictures on the new map*

That's my point Sir. They're "West" in relation to the very center of the map. But then again, going by that, Kael, the entire Western Continent of Avalon would be the Western Lands, whilst Fincayra and Gramarye would be the Eastern Lands.

However, in relation to the Kingdom of Avalon and its capital (being in the North), they would very much be Center or Middle, just before the wild and untamed Southern Lands.

...whatever, I don't really care one way or the other how this flies or if it is changed at all. It just sort of bugged me. It's not a huge issue.
