In satellite view, the outline of the fort itself looks different from the Badecker's diagram that I copied and pasted. I think that multiple forts were built on that location over the centuries. In any case, reality should sometimes take a back seat to game-ability...Cygnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394890573443379954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63753090450546412.post-72872405350165887632013-03-06T12:05:25.677-07:002013-03-06T12:05:25.677-07:00Geo and Agarn...

Many moons and posts ago, we were discussing my distaste for Piers Anthony's execution and it was not inspired by his excessive use of puns but because of the (cue phasing out of focus at the introduction of overused phrase)objectification of female characters.<br /><br />I have since come to recognize that, decades ago, he was certainly not the only sci-fi author who could be charged with as much.<br /><br />Okay, tangent. All to say, I like punnish titles. (Quite a lot.)Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.com
