Sask
| After the Saski debacle at Fyk, the Hostigi Army of the
Listra follows the fleeing troops into Sask. Sask Town (Altoona) is

Sarrask near Darax, a village in the Listra Valley.
My thesis that Piper used a few local names to inspire his Zarthani version came to me first when I was looking for likely places for Darax. Dix (aka Dick's) Run seemed to have the right sounds, and it fits the story, so why not! |
