		In the final days of Orzafeth's majesty (it rivalled Shiell as the main city of Frisland, don't forget), its highest wizards sought to find a means to destroy the hated city of Shiell, and secure rulership of the semi-barbarous Alphatian Northlands once and for all.
		Frisland was the very last of these "wild lands", only "pacified" in the year AY 1556.
		The successive rulers of Frisland knew something of the truth, but did not dare share what they knew, until the present day, when all have forgotten the details of that time, and so it was without much difficulty that the proclamation banning visitors from Orzafeth was passed.

	Buss Island
		It was discovered during the third expedition of Martin Frobisher in September 1578 by sailors aboard the Emmanuel and was put on maps as existing between Ireland and mythical Frisland[?] at about 57° N. The island was named after the type of vessel that its discoverers used, a busse.
		It is believed that Frobisher took Greenland for Frisland and Baffin Island for Greenland and the Emmanuel, returning home, made a mistake in dead reckoning and mistook optical effects near Greenland at around 62° N for a new land.
		A Thomas Shepard claimed to have explored and mapped the island in 1671.

	Cabinet Magazine Online - Confections of Zeno
		Indeed in 1898, the British geographer Frederick Lucas wrote a meticulous, schoolmasterish demolition of Zeno’s account, in which he observed that the antedating of the map could be seen as an indirect claim for the discovery of America by a Venetian—scoring a point or two against rival Genoa, Columbus’s city of origin.
		Even Frisland was not entirely his invention—Catalan maps and Italian portolanos of the fifteenth century contain islands variously called Fisland, Fixlanda, and Frislanda, widely thought to be versions of “Fishland,” and to refer to Iceland or the Faroes, both known for their plentiful supplies of fish.
		Some have argued that Frisland simply sank, or else its size and solidity were overstated, and it was some sort of sandbank.

		Christ; to the end, that when he destroyed the idols, and erected churches in the nation to which he preached, he might have the relics of saints at hand to put into them, and having deposited them there, might accordingly dedicate those places to the honor of each of the saints whose relics they were.
		At which time, the brothers who were in Frisland, attending the ministry of the word, chose out of their own number a man, modest of behavior, and meek of heart, called Swidbert, to be ordained bishop for them.

		Frisland first appeared in a map by Nicolo Zeno in 1558 and was accepted by Gerhard Mercator for his world map of 1569.
		Frobisher's use of this map caused a great deal of cartographic confusion, for when he reported seeing a "high and rugged land," he assumed it was Frisland though it was actually Greenland.
		Frisland persisted on numerous maps until as late as the eighteenth century.

		In their voyage thither, they had such contrary winds and stormy weather that they thought to have foundered at sea; but escaping that death, they met with a fate still more dreadful, as they were made prisoners by the savages, who are cannibals, and most of them were devoured.
		This man used to go every day to the sea or the rivers, in which he caught vast quantities of fish, which he gave away among the principal people of the country; by which means he got into such high favour that he was beloved and respected by every body.
		After which, he equipped a bark of his own, in which he returned to Frisland, where he made a report to his lord of all that had befallen him, and of the discovery he had made of an extensive and wealthy country.
