Ooh, thought of another one: There's one or two references in Ptolus to giants being "from the west" and the like, and their realms there, which I've interpreted as the Lands of the Diamond Throne being located in the distant west, beyond Cherubar. Is this intended, or was it just a nod to that other setting, but not actually how things worked in your game?
That happened because a player really, really wanted to play an Arcana Evolved giant in a Ptolus campaign. So... more or less the idea was that the Diamond Throne was to the west, but it wasn't quite as literal as that. I guess, as you say, more of a nod.
