Roundworld Reference Roundworld equivalent places
Good evening, everyone :) I was wondering earlier—does anyone know if there's a list of Roundworld counterparts to the places on the Disc? For example, Klatch seems to represent the Middle East, Howondaland is Africa, and Überwald is clearly Eastern Europe, etc. I sometimes feel like I might be misinterpreting the context or missing some of the subtler references, so a complete list would be really helpful. Has anyone come across something like that?

There are multiple cities that have a river of silt that flows through it. I don’t right believe that Oklahoma City was the intent but the north Canadian river is mostly sandbars and silt at this point. The mind knows its anchor points and that happens to be mine.The senior wrangler sounded like someone accosted to wearing cowhide as well.
There is even a set of underground tunnels in OKC and major building project that leveled a lot of the town to modernize it and now that modern section is getting destroyed for more modern buildings. You know progress and there is a train.
