 These foundational questions trouble most workers in the field, who are in fact fieldworkers, but little.  The [[Cranee Historical Society]] has taken the lead here, maintaining their general standards of careful and scientific exploration and discovery despite the attempts of [[Hack And The Jacks|pranksters]], fanatics, farmers, and funicular projectors to interfere.  Their own deep historical records allow them to readily identify the particular anatomical structures they dig up with the various half-forgotten gods listed in the [[Unquisition]]'s archives.
-A few particularly secure results certainly deserve to be mentioned here.  It is clear, for example, that the [[Sarfelogian Mountains]] are the cranium or skullcap of the Nitenmangrey god arbitrarily assigned the number #47.  The [[Plain of Brahang]] is similarly the back armor of an Alezanian divinity named Y't't't'g K'rk't't't.  (The apparently otiose apostrophes represent the vowels, which were not represented in the [[Alezanian]] script.)  The four peninsulas that between them create the [[Dagger Seas]] are pretty securely believed to be fingers, but the relevant god has not yet been identified.  For the full details thus far published, consult the [[Odlucian Library]].
