"This book is a scholarly gazetteer and history of the nations on the shores of the Nyr Dyv. Written by Norfil van Defflitter, it is part an account of his travels and partly his commentaries on the tales and stories of the Nyr Dyv. Van Defflitter’s work is praiseworthy for its thoroughness. Every tale that reached his ears is dutifully noted down.
Unfortunately, van Defflitter would have profited from a greater dose of skepticism and a more organized mind. He seldom questions the truth or accuracy of the stories he has heard. Worse still, van Defflitter launches into maddening digressions whenever one tale reminds him of another. For example, while writing about the channels of the Artonsamy River, he digresses into a lecture on the formation of the Rift Canyon, which in turn leads him to a discussion of gnomish mining techniques in the lower reaches of the Cairn Hills. By the time he returns to his original topic, the readers have lost track of his original arguments!
The historian repeats the tales of Halmadar the Cruel ... and fixes the location of Osnabrolt on the shores of Midbay. He even tentatively locates the Tbmb of Halmadar with a simple sketch map", and "suggests that the Cult of Vecna may still be active in parts of the Kron Hills and the lands farther to the northwest."[2]
