Okay, I already sent information on the Killing Grounds that I think 
should result in a reappraisal of their size on this map.  In my 
opinion, you have the Killing Grounds far too small!

In all my stories, I've always described the Killing Grounds as much 
larger.  And in my story, Lineaments of Coming Night, I set the 
Summer Solstice Festival in the Killing Grounds.  There was enough 
room for a full jousting arena there!

What do you mean by mutable zone?

That is fair, and makes sense to me.

That's fair.  Of course you realize most medieval towns used rivers 
as power sources, and had the waters drive their machinery.  That's 
the purpose of watermills!

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,
