If I could have drawn it I would have clarified things and drawn some things a bit different. In fact I had an old project to redraw the Flanaess region-by-region in Photoshop with far more clarity than Darlene's map displayed. They were once hosted on Canonfire!, I think they have been removed . . . I should get around to getting them on an image hosting site myself some day . . . that, and finishing the project! At the scale the Darlene map was drawn, what would you consider cartographic evidence of glaciation?Well, the Twin Cataclysms are "a wizard did it" in its purest form. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />But we can go back to the natural geography and still accept what we see. We have prevailing winds blowing East to West in Greyhawk rather than what we experience as West to East. Prevailing winds meeting a high mountain range leave behind a rain shadow. For example, asking why there are no major rivers off the western side of the Hellfurnaces/Crystalmists is like wondering why there are no many major rivers flowing into Nevada from the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains?</blockquote>
