Ghyll:WhereIsWhere

This Where's Where article is an attempt at establishing geographical facts about Ghyll; it does not record other facts. For example, it records that the Evesque Valley is well-irrigated (and therefore must have plenty of streams), but it does not record that it used to play host to Aelfants.
