As you were, I'd managed to misremember and misunderstand a misleadingly written paragraph in G:G. (p15c3para2, to be precise) Presumably the area actually being referred to is the "JON" of "JONATELA"... But while we're on this subject, why do you say the thaw was induced by the Lunars? G:G blames Dona boatmen, after all. Though this could cover people from Eastpoint egged on the Lunars, I suppose.

Alex.
