How things stand that morning
Not recorded. No chief above the band; the peoples answer to nobody on the coast.
Where the sources disagree
Evidence: Thin: the peoples are certain (language and archaeology) and not on the campaign board; their bands, chiefs and range in 1200 are inferred from later ethnography.
"The campaign board" is OMNIA's working map. These notes record where its earlier claims were checked against the sources.
On the map: Core only.
