Let me say, LGG is Great

Something has been bothering me like a splinter, I can't reach.

I noticed that in the LGG Ahlissa entries:

LGG Entry
Grandwood, Marchland of
Princess Bersheben
Torrich

Principality of
Prince Dilweg
Torrich

but in Ivid the Undying

Princess Bersheben stronghold and lands are in Forinn

is this a simple misprint??

I haven't really looked but I am sure someone out there has, anyone else found other LGG 'misprints" ;) .

The fact that Forinn doesn't even appear on the map that came with the LGG leads me to suspect that this change might have been dileberate, and not a simple missprint.

Not all the rulers necessarily live in the official seat of their realm so their is no reason why she couldn't still live on her ancestral lands and hold court in the official seat of the Principality.

True Pauln6 about the seat of power but doesn't that fly in the face of the feudal assassin rich evil nature established with practically every other noble found within Ivid the Undying.

From Ivid the Undying:

Bersheben's Lands/Forinn
From her home at Forinn, a village which is rapidly
growing to town size with 1,900 people, Princess Bersheben
commands a sizeable army.Many minor Darmen nobles
hold tracts of land within Bersheben's fief, and they stay
tight-lipped about her. None of them like her, and
through the years several attempts have been made on
her life. She has evaded them all, and some will quietly
refer to her as "Bersheben the Undying." She laughs at
such a title, but in truth she is as evil as Ivid himself.

If her powerbase is growing why would she up and leave making it easier to be assassinated, not something I see a savy Darmen noble doing?

Could it be technically Forinn is still a village?

perhaps her village/town didn't survive the final death throes of the great kingdom, remeber there is a time gap between ItU and the LGG

Hey folks, I think I found a good answer. See tAB, at 26.

Basically, to create the United Kingdom of Ahlissa, Overking Xavener reorganized the lands that were once fiefs of the Great Kingdom of Aerdy. Thus, while Princess Bersheben, aka Bersheba, of the Celestial House of Darmen likely retains her ancestral seat in Forrin, in CY 590, Xavener decreed that the Marchland of the Grandwood Forest be administered from Torrich.

PS - Thanks for the opportunity to review the Lands of Darmen section of Ivid!

Thanks Tizoc :D

Hated to weaken one of the more colorful personalities within Ivid the Undying.
