Someone should mention that, while this book describes the river in Cheydinhal being the Corbolo, the geography of Cyrodiil clearly shows that the Reed River is what flows through the city.

Actually, the Reed River's source is well south of Cheydinhal. The water actually going through the city is landlocked, and not connected to any rivers, though it is closer to the Reed than the Corbolo. --TheRealLurlock Talk 23:08, 26 April 2007 (EDT)
Actually, it is entirely possible for a river to become subterranean as it flows from its source, occasionally springing to the surface in what appears to be a line of ponds or lakes. The positioning (most importantly, their relative elevations as water must flow down) of Lake Arrius, Cheydinhal, and the surface source of the Reed all suggest one thing: that drainage from Lake Arrius springs into Cheydinhal, flows through the city, then submerges in the pool outside the south wall and through the hill until it springs out into the low valley south of Cheydinhal. — Unsigned comment by 192.31.106.34 (talk)

Gender miss?[edit]

"The owner-proprietor of Cheydinhal's bookstore is Mach-Na, an Argonian, and a ruder, more disagreeable creature I have never met. Nonetheless, his selection of books is excellent, and his prices reasonable." This is surely a mistake since Mach-Na is a woman...? MrL 07:07, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Well spotted. Looks like we missed that one. I've added a {{sic}} tag to the text. rpeh •TCE 09:06, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
There's a similar (identical) mistake in the guide to Skingrad "the town smith openly refers to himself as 'Agnete the Pickled'" also a woman... MrL 12:54, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
