Unless (he says helpfully) the lands to the west *sank*!!

And what *is* up with that Maelstrom that gets mentioned in /Phoenix/?

Alternatively, continuing some pararectal ideation, perhaps all
Dragaerans actually came from Greenaere - that is to say, the Jenoine
put them there originally (after seeding the place with
sorcery-blockers).  Kieron &tc sailed to the foot of the Kanefthali
Range.
