On the FRIA maps, I see a town of Gurnth near a smallish mountain called Machran Spire - anyone have any idea where this is from? I would assume a novel - maybe the Harpers?
Another (related?) place within the Gulthmere is Krigala Gate - what the heck is that? (YES, I know its a gate... I get THAT part...)
I also note Karsus' Keep - I am assuming here that is the place that is touched-upon in the Elminster trilogy/omnibus? I no longer have The Annotated Elminster - perhaps those other locales are also associated with that story?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated - mapping without all my sources has become extremely difficult. HERE is a screenshot of what I am looking at in the FRIA. |

NEW Question: Is Westgate actually at the mouth of the River Thunn?
Nevermind. Although I couldn't find it in any text description, a map of the city clearly show the river running THROUGH it.
It seems like a rather TINY river eh? |

Have I mentioned Nobanion's dominion in 2e was located in Krigala?  |

Thanks guys - I think that about covers it. 
@Eric - Their are hidden chunks of lore-gold in everything everything written by Ed. |

The village of Gurnth is from Vilhon Reach (DM's book p. 16, player's book p. 8). |

Well, do you know that Krigala is one of the planes of the Beastlands, right? Planescape stuff, it is the eternal day plane, IIRC (the plane with diurnal animals). |

I believe I stuck it in there, but I don't recall why. (I had a huge list of obscure lore I kept feeding to the developer of the 3rd patch.)
My best guess is that it's buried in Prayers for the Faithful, but that's just a guess. Ed stuck a lot of new places in that fantastic tome.
