In reality the River Trent is a tributary of the Humber flowing from roughly Nottinghamshire (marked as Midlands on your map) into the Humber about 1/2 inch (... on the screen shot that is [:)] ) in from the sea on the Humbers southern shore. As I say a minor point, your call Thanks, Peter. In our defense, as the Humber is in fact an estuary, not a river, we felt it more appropriate to label that piece of water by the most important river whose waters flow through it, hence "Trent River", rather than "Humber". "Humber River" would have been inaccurate, and since the blue thing we drew on the map :) flows all the way to the Pennines, it represents more river than Humber. Looking more closely at the map, calling it either the Washburn or Calder might have more accurately followed the course of the blue thing--however, the Trent formed a historical division (and players of Kingmaker will recognize the name) so we felt it was more important to call it that. Redrawing the blue thing might have been possible, but many of our geographical divisions are schematic in nature (just take a glance at Germany) so we felt it was no great sin to leave it as-is. Nevertheless, we appreciate the suggestion.
