Talk:Rehigreed Province
We have a continuity problem, I fear. The article on reannual plants says:-
"the Rehigreed Province in the Agatean Empire is another. The reannual Vul Nuts are mentioned in The Colour of Magic as being grown in the latter place, and when harvested they make a drink called Ghlen Livid....."
Ref. The Colour of Magic, Corgi PB, p189. Twoflower is sampling the hospitality on offer in Krull to those who are about to be sacrificed.
"Ghlen livid" he said. "The fermented vul-nut drink they freeze-distil in my home country.... "From the western plantations in, ah, Rehigreed Province, yes?"
The clear implication from Twoflower's words are that Rehigreed Province is a part of "my home country", ie the Agatean Empire. Otherwise, he might have said it was imported?
The problem is, The Discworld Mapp places the Rehigreed Province in the opposite corner of the Discworld from Agatea - the two could not be further apart if you tried. Either the Rehigreed is a "lost colony" on the Central Continent originally settled by Agateans, or else in between The Colour of Magic and The Discworld Mapp this fine detail was lost. --AgProv 20:37, 14 November 2010 (CET)
- But then the "western plantations" are another question. Could the nuts just be imported to Agatea where they are processed? (Freeze-distillation should also be a problem in Agatea. Where does it get cold?) --Old Dickens 16:53, 23 May 2011 (CEST)
