No art credits named inside the version I found online --just the author & two priest officials(?)

I dunno much about bodies of water, sorry. It's possible that I absorbed the inland seas phrase but not an "effectively" or something.

I know slightly more about matriarchy, actually.

(And personally I prefer the Judithian type of jihad, if that's the right word. Please don't hate me)

From Minnesota or Wisconsin , sure
