And, while nobody had been active on any of the tags in a while, I thought it looked fun. <br /><br />So here's my first idea: Folchir's Fort. <br /><br />This stands (loosely) where on <a href="http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/1092832.html">my big map project</a> there is a red star - 'cept it's been long enough (approx 1500-2000 years ago) that the river has moved.

Those old troll dolls with all the hair. <br /><br />I keep forgetting you don't need visible obvious rivers feeding into a lake (visible on a continent-scale map, that is).
