As part of the #Hammondal project I've been eyeballs-deep in a lot of books about historical cities as well as nonsense ones, and it's interesting which cities have a lot written about them in English, and which ones have very little.

For some, it's clearly just about the paucity of available info, but for many it seems to be the lack of _one fixated scholar_ deciding to take it up. 馃槄
