As I was writing the scenario description I had a thought that it would probably be very atmospheric if you could mix some scenario based guidances among the usual Lord X stands at Y.
Some examples:
Lake Mirrow can destroy the Ice crown. The citadel of Xajorkith can be found in the south of the land. The Gate of the Underworld lies in the north. Beware the Valley of Eyes.

I've been toying with the idea of changing the way guidance works slightly. For example, at present I might get "Luxor the Moonprince stands by Lake Mirrow". However, maybe that sort of info specific location info could be reserved for Wise and UC lords. Others MIGHT get that if lucky, but would probably get a more vague description based on Domain: "Luxor the Moonprince is within the Domain of Mirrow" As to your suggestions above, that would be very easy to do, simply adding a guidance table linked to the scenario table. Unfortunately, the quest type messages (eg "Lake Mirrow can destroy the icecrown") won't be of much use without quests!

Yes but it still sounds great... "Natmus commands 150 riders, standing utterly exhausted at the Downs of Mirrow. To destroy him, move south, his other armies are locked in battle against Shendemiar in the domain of Xajorkith"...

Unfortunately, the quest type messages (eg "Lake Mirrow can destroy the icecrown") won't be of much use without quests! It was just an example, referring to the original LOM. (not that I have anything against quests, mind you ) No, especially in the new scenarios, it might be good to give an occasional information about locations. After all, what good knowing that a lord is in the domain of Mirrow, if you don't know where the domain is on the map. Also, some red herrings might be thrown in for a good measure: There is fog on the Downs of Mirrow. Lake Gloom has frozen over. A new fish mine has been opened in the domain of Lorgrim. Rorthron the Wise cut off his beard.
