One puzzle from the \nNEW SUN that intrigued me was geography. Assuming that Urth resembles \nEarth, where are Nessus, Gyoll, etc. today? I can\u0012t remember all of the \nrelevant clues (Nessus is on a delta; downstream is the sea; upstream is\nmountains and a warmer climate), but I was led to believe that Gyoll \nmight be the Parna river in Argentina and Nessus might be in the \nvicinity of Buenos Aires. Alternatively, Gyoll might be the Uruguay \n(Argentina\u0012s border with Uruguay). There\u0012s a town on the Uruguay called \nSalto which might correspond to NEW SUN\u0012s Saltus.\n\nbee\n\nQuestions or problems to whorl-owner at lists.best.com"
