Not exactly... it was always on the map; we simply didn't visit. Khalo Village was the same, if only in that respect...

[the wards were very different - if Linneus is to believe what he was told, that the storms were wards themselves. And Khalo and Nadril couldn't be more different, but Khalo too was known to them before they were welcomed there.]

It is strange, how the route to Nadril is made so much more treacherous. The Khali only had wards that simply made one sleep if they drew too close to their borders...
