As promised, here is what I had compiled so far (before lending the book out and focusing on the website):

Geographical/Map:

Pg3: jungles west of Adrilankha.  The city was somewhat more than a hundred miles away

Pg20: Copper Lane – street in Adrilankha

Pg22: The Blue Flame – restaurant in Adrilankha in Vlad’s territory

Pg29: Lower Kieron Road – street in Adrilankha

Pg43: few thousand square miles of jungle

Pg77: Castle Black, some 200 miles northeast (of Adrilankha?)

Magic:

Pg47: witchcraft uses psionic power

Pg50: use of the word “wizard”

Pg60: “To use sorcery, all you do is reach out through your link to the Imperial Orb, grab some power, shape it, and throw it.  With witchcraft, however, you have to plan carefully and precisely so that you don’t end up searching around for some implement you need”

Pp60-61: “clear advantages witchcraft enjoys over sorcery is that more than one witch can participate in a single spell.”

Pg67: physical exhaustion and psionic drain with use of witchcraft

Pg8 – Move Silently

Pg8 – Blend/Move with a crowd

Pg50: Appraisal-on-Sight

House info/Cultural:

Pg72: Dragaeran Empire has existed for 200,000 – 250,000 years

Pg72: Each House keeps records (Jhereg are pretty bad and corrupt about this) and the Lyorn keep records on everybody.
