I would prefer to see a North/South route comming to the city and then it splitting in the city to go either South East or South West. Mention was made of larger Kingdoms tot he North and I envisioned North to North East for those Kingdoms (on the Eastern side of the Mountains) I am assuming that the river flows to the east to a coast line somewhere and that coastlines are normally more civilized, so I was figuring the West for the Frontier. That would give a North/South traffic flow, make going southwest (towards the wild frontier) more dangerous and going southeast (back towards the coast) the Main road for North South Traffic, it forces a river crossing at Mor's End, going southeast bypasses the worst of the swamp and going southwest would be the road to the wild frontier and should be more dangerous. This would form a inverted Y with More's end at the center (and a road running to Kul Moren as a lesser route). Of course this is just what I was envisioning in my head. The X shape puts civilization on 3 of the four corners of the city and really takes away from the frontier feel, not to mention the town would be much much older and more important, it would be at the center of all the trade on this section of the continent. The inverted Y makes everything East of the lake and the mountains civilization and everything west of the mountains frontier and forces anybody moving west to go through Mor's End, thus it would be a newer city based on the expansion of the frontier westward. Maybe it's just my crazy American sense of direction kicking in but I just see the west as the wild frontier and the east as the old civilization. I'll just wait for the official map as I am behind on this converation anyway and I think I covered what I was seeing, I was just confused to what went where.</blockquote>
