It has been suggested independently by several people that the solution to the
Specifica confusion problem is that there is more then one Specifica.  So this
sounds like the best solution.

..sage suggests that Specifica is a name used for a city/town that specializes
in a particular trade good, as opposed to Generica, a city that takes many
trade goods.  So we have Specifica of the Furs, northeast along the Ceruputhon
River; Specifica of the Sugars, south along the coast, on a river delta south
of the Marshes(oops, forgot to put those in.  Sorry, Michael), but north of
Rameshan; and perhaps another one north along the coast, as Paradak suggested.
Specifica of Lutefisk, perhaps?  ;-}

In other news...Low City is certainly not 1/4 of Generica...I hereby decree
that it reaches just to the docks at its northernmost extent, to the Arcade of
Unforgotten Heroes at its easternmost extent, and generally runs along the
south wall of the city.  Of course, the Shunned Center needs must be in the
center of Low City, historically...and if Low City gets any more crowded, it'll
need its own inset map.

Oh, and the island of Valkeer is indeed west of Generica, not east.  I thought
I'd corrected that, too.  Keep them corrections coming!
