Isn't Nessus also one of the circles of Hell? (assuming my AD&D knowledge hasn't deceived me :-) ) "I am an impure thinker.

Welcome, Matthew,

In the light of the above I don't see much good to be had trying to identify Nessus or other landmarks from our Earth, but to nay-say Buenos Aires:
Nessus

isn't and wasn't a coastal city; the plate river isn't big enough;
Um, Nessus isn't now but was a coastal city. Can't recall off-hand who, but one of the "wise" characters (one of the ones we can trust) tells Sev that. Which goes along with my own theory that Nessus is a post-Alexandria. (Oh, I know, I know, no one wants to hear this. But it's a lovely theory, and I can go on and on and......on.) Nice to see all you Brits aboard. So I'll throw in a Brit recommendation. Those of you who have some interest in Dr. Talos's play, or just like the theatrical atmosphere, would like Barry Unsworth's -Morality Play-, about a troupe of players, set in 14th century England. The twists in it, and even the general atmosphere, are quite Wolfean. -alga-
