I’m an engineer, you’d think this grid layout would be easy for me to fathom. But it doesn’t.”…

Chap. 301 The Clearings They landed on the northern shore of the big lake. “This side is all Lord Toric’s land,” D’mitran said, looking at his data link. They could see fishing boats on the lake.

Chap. 300 Dreadful Marsh They’d resumed the survey where they’d left off, that being at the northern edge of the marshland called Dreadful Marsh.
