Talk:Yehimal Mountains

Which is what?
Yehimal Mountains, Wu Pi Te Shao, World Pillar Mountains and Roof of the World are treated as different names for the same massive mountain range in this article, while in others they are treated as part of the Yehimal Mountains or separate mountain ranges. This might be due to lack of source information. Can anyone clarify? Daranios (talk) 10:07, October 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * And the Web Mountains, the Shao Mountains, and countless other local names for adjoining ranges. The whole place is a mess. In my experience, the names seem to be used interchangeably, or some are local Faerûnian/Zakharan/Kara-Turan names for the same place, but there's also a lot of arms and branches to the ranges that could well have different names. I'm not sure. In the absence of different mountain articles, I've been linking everything to Yehimal Mountains, or to one of the other mountain range names that redirects here, and I suppose others have been too.
 * So I think we need to have a dedicated effort to deciphering the different ranges and names here, comparing the lore to the maps, and defining what each is. I was leaving it until late in my Utter East project, because it was too daunting. — BadCatMan (talk) 13:35, October 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's what I suspected. I think there is also very little I can contribute from a Zakharan point of view, but when you are at a point in your project where you want to go about this, count my very small side in. Daranios (talk) 15:06, October 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay. I think I'll be tackling some of the the smaller sub-ranges and branches and building up and inward as I progress. If you can confirm exactly what the Jibal al-Akbas and/or World Pillar Mountains is, that would be great. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:41, November 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * Is this enough mountains for you? :o Those are just the ones largely a part of the main mass or immediate branches. There are others more tenuously or distantly connected, but they're not really a problem. Looking at the maps, I feel the Yehimals are the main spine of the mountain range (always the biggest label), while the others are branches or smaller parts of the range. For clarity and accuracy, I feel they'll all need separate articles, as each has distinct lore to it.
