My copy of the GAZ is at home in another city (want PDF now!) but I definitely recall both names - although I could swear it was Latoka's Grave. I think they're mentioned in either the history writeup or the adventures section.

Natoka's Grave is a "deserted plateau" covering "Red Orcland between two mountain ranges. [It] is notorious for being the red orcs' sacred burial grounds, as well as a strange place w[h]ere large rocky pillars rise straight up from the ground, supporting huge, flat stones. Hordes often set camp atop these columns."

The Sacred Cavern is the Supreme Hool's fortress, and "opens up in the southern mountain range. It is the main entrance to Lower Orcland."

After they split into three groups and spread through North America. Crazy House was a famous Chief.

That's hilarious! I even read it as horse and didn't even notice or think twice! Goes to show you how we don't look at all the letters when we read, eh! Or type for that matter.

Feb 26, 2005 2:58:18 Me too. When you're reading fast, the fact is that you read in words, not letters. And since word recognition starts with the first letters of a word of phrase, combined with the overall shape, it's easy to read typos and spelling errors as correct. The reason is that as soon as you have recognised the phrase, you move on. Crazy Horse is a phrase that is probably recognisable to us just by the Cr___ H____ structure. Thus, if you're reading fast, Cresy House or other such crazy spellings might well slip by you. ;)

Yeah... Also happens when you type with your two-year-old son on your lap (either that or suddenly you see some "ccccccccccccccjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj444444444nnnnnn" on the screen). :D

Anyways, thanks for all the info.
