I will see if I can get permission to provide this.

I'm just back from a long vacation in Mexico, and I did see the name "Zamora" on several street signs and in the names of shops (in the city of Veracruz, as far as I can recall). I found it both amusing and interesting, to say the least...
Oh, and by the way, I loved the pyramids of Mexico! (I saw a lot of them... :lol: )

The genesis of the essay was sort of different. My son runs a Conan RPG campaign at Iowa State University; his gamers think it's weird that his father writes about this stuff. (I guess they don't realize that I ran an AD&D Conan campaign for seven years back in the eighties) Anyway, one of his players had read one of the Conan book and came to the conclusion that The City of Thieves wasn't in the same place in the story that it was on the map. When I was visiting my son right before Christmas, this kid decided to "dare me" to fix his problem. I think I shocked him when I told him the results a week later.
The best part was that I impressed my son by doing it; believe me, he's not as easy to impress at 21 as he was at 10...

Update on mapping the Black Kingdoms:
The first half of the article has already been published in a past REHupa mailing, and the second half should come out in the April issue. The way it works out is that it should appear on my website in the first part of May, since REHupa members get the first look in April.
I think that it's really going to amaze some people.

I admit I never wonder about the location of Shadizar. However I see Zamora under a brand new sight because I initially thought it was inspired from Romania, rather from Mexico, the Kezankian Mountains being akin to Carpathia, a range that appears for some times as a natural defense against the Hyrkanian hordes.
