 We discern from [[Alezan]] and [[Andelphracian Lights]] that part of Ghyll is forested; from [[Alezan]] and [[Avazian Box]] there are wastelands, but apart from the city in [[Altox bulb]], the gardens of [[Agony uncle]], and the mires and quayres of [[Andelphracian Lights]], landscape is not yet a chief factor in your entries. It probably should not be. With the Encyclopedia a massive undertaking already, there's plenty of time for mapmaking later. Your focus as scholars should be much smaller: life, culture, and inspiration not location, distance and direction.
-: I have to disagree. While describing locations that run counter to the truth is indeed a terrible thing, we should still clarify the locations already mentioned by further describing the stage that the action happens on. I agree that geography shouldn't be a main focus, but it still should be mentioned to a degree. --[[User:D8uv|Melik Fizzou]] 18:13, 4 Sep 2004 (EDT)

 : I, also, disagree. Geography, more than almost any other factor, has an *enormous* amount to do with every aspect of how a particular culture and country develops. And maps are just darned cool. It will also become increasingly important, as people describe cities, rivers, oceans, and whatnot, to have at least a general idea of how these regions relate to one another spatially. I think that at least a rough map will become a necessity in very short order. --[[User:DrBacchus|DrBacchus]] 11:42, 10 Sep 2004 (EDT)
