Why does this not surprise me?

So that's based Up North, roughly? Same area as your Far Place work more recently?

So we're looking at post-rebellion, about 1613-1614-ish?

And what we have is not "Kallyr is a duck", but "Starbrow is a duck". A subtle semantic difference, but one that may be important. We'll see.

Tough. There is no duck problem.

Oh, no. That's the point. This *will* fit, I promise you. No variation needed. If I can't make it fit, perfectly, in every detail, I won't be doing it.

I'm now going to struggle a little with the problem that in our later work, the people in the Ironspike area knew perfectly well who and what Kallyr was. They had definite opinions on her from her activities in 1611. Not very printable ones admittedly, but they did not include the word "duck". It would have been easier if the people claiming her to be a duck had been based almost anywhere else TBH, but such is life.
