Garbage tidbits

[aldarron]

Great idea of minining this adventure for concepts Dan! I found another one as well:

* Fenstien

Awsome!

Of the names above, the only one I recognize is Walworth. Walworth is most likely a Duchy in Thonia or other southern lands. The Earl of Walworth was the persona of Gary Gygax in the Castles & Crusades Society...

Interesting! Sounds like a province name to me too.

For Dinsbury, I might suggest that as being somewhere in the Vales, as Monaca of Dinsbury is a druid. I see the Valemen as a Druidic folk.

Couldnt locate Stone Brook right away?

Probably Arneson vaguely thought of these as towns or provinces but they could just as likely be kingdoms and since there are nameless kingdoms I'm going to use some as kingdom names. Interestingly, like Blackmoor, Great Kingdom, and Vestfold, these are all two word descriptor names:

Stone Brook (obvious, could be written as Stonebrook?)
Dins + bury - Downs? fort/castle
Fen + stein - swamp rock

Food for thought.

Hadn't noticed that. Satrap is originally a persian term, but also used by Alexander the Great for his governors. A bit odd. Not sure what to make of it...?

Well, perhaps there are ten Satraps in an oligarchy; hence the "duchy of ten". Your mention of Alexander reminds me of the Kipling storey "The Man who would be King" Prolly no connection though.
