Q: My city isn't on the list.
A:  Then it's not really important, now is it?

Q:  What about the Canadian cities of Calgary, Ottawa, and Edmonton?
A:  Those are fictional.

Q: FFS, man. Ottawa isn't even very far from Montreal and it's much more populated than Vancouver, eh?
A:  Ottawa is not a real city, but a pit straight to the depths of hell where all Canada geese spawn from like LOTR orcs.

Q: Why do you hate South Dakota?
A:  They know what they did.
One of the things I will never forgive John Kasich for is killing the 3C high speed rail project connecting Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati.  I mean, there are many things I won't forgive him for, but that's one of the big ones.

C = 186000miles/second.  3C =558000miles/sec. Or does that mean C^3? 10,378,800,000/sec.

Either way, way to fast for most Ohioans. Rob Dyrdek, maybe.

A few years back, and the back up for a construction site was several miles long in either direction. Slo and NoGo all the way.

Not a dragon, but the next best thing:





Great-eared nightjar (not to be confused with the satanic nightjar, E. diabolicus, which I assume is the same thing but with devil horns)

Facts:
* The outerbanks have murlocs/nagas as well as timid surf crawlers and non-mountable horses.  Frequently raided by the Salt Life clan.
* Further inland, there is swampland filled with spiders, snakes, and carnivorous plants (rare spawn).
* The center-east farmlands have plenty of boars and stags.  Boarmeat is a popular crafting ingredient.
* Charlotte has the zone's only AH/bank.
* Be careful in the mountainous west, it has owlbears and direwolves and worse...Tennessee natives.

That map makes me concerningly happy.
