 ===Geography===
-As we establish the basis of our gallant lexicon, we can start to become surer that the places mentioned so far are the largest and most prominent that Ghyll has to offer. Since Folktown is mentioned in very many of the entries, we can be reasonably sure that it is Ghyll's largest city; likewise [[Iganefta]] ranks in closely, with the [[Bute University|university town of Bute]] probably playing host to very many people, and the little hamlet of Odlucia being an odd case since though it's small it probably receives many visitors due to it being the home of the [[Odlucian Library]] and the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]]'s Cake building.

 We're beginning to discern a structure to Ghyll in general. The [[Evesque Valley]] is the most prominent geographical landmark to the north, and [[Iganefta]] is the most prominent of the south, though we may deduce that the [[Cactus forests]] may lie even further south in the rarely explored deserts. We're also aware of the [[Dagger Seas]] which are unlikely to lie to the south of Ghyll, and so are either east or west or, less likely (since it would have been mentioned), to the north of the [[Evesque Valley]].
