'''What is the scale of the continent?'''
 
 
1: The plateau of Axalvo is a small part of a vast Afro-Eurasia-like landmass spanning the whole light side of the world; the Inner Sea is properly landlocked.<br />
 
2: The plateau is part of a huge, Eurasia-sized landmass dominating the light side; the Inner Sea is above mean sea level and drains to the ocean by a navigable river.<br />
 
3: The plateau is part of a substantial, Africa-sized landmass which might be the largest on this side, or one of two of similar size; the Inner Sea is linked to the ocean by a series of narrow straits.<br />
 
4: The plateau is part of a South-America-sized landmass which probably has at least one peer on this side; the Inner Sea is linked to the ocean by a single narrow strait.<br />
 
5: The plateau is part of a Europe-sized landmass which is probably not the largest on this side; the Inner Sea has a fairly wide opening to the ocean.<br />
 
6: The plateau, the Steppe and Taiga, the Desert of Sphinxes, the Basin Province, and the land of the Wayehi-speakers constitute pretty much the whole continent; the Inner Sea's outer edge is flanked only by narrow peninsulas.<br />

4: There are no nations there, but there are some settled 'free people'.<br />
 
5: There are no nations as such, but there are settled lands controlled by monasteries and other individual holdings.<br />

'''What's under Vikreng?'''
 
 
(Several of these might be true.)
 
 
1: The water-table is close to the surface; since the aqueduct has been out of order, sinking new wells has been easy.<br />
 
2: There's a badly-maintained sewer system dating from the imperial era.<br />
 
3: There are overfilled catacombs, where the dead were buried before the cemetery opened during the magocracy.<br />
 
4: There are vaults, dug by the mages for some unspecified emergency and never used.<br />
 
5: There's a handful of secret passages linking specific buildings, mostly dating from the late imperial era.<br />
