The facade of the modern city gives way to London Clay, Hackney Gravel, swathes of Thames alluvium, pockets of Taplow and Kempton Park Gravel, patches of brick-earth and chalk escarpments. A vast band of South London is revealed as a marshland of mudflats, tidal inlets and freshwater creeks twisting around shallow islands. On the north bank, where the Romans founded their city, two gravel hills Ludgate Hill and Cornhill are bisected by the freshwater Walbrook, with London Bridge stretching across the Thames to a nodule of dry land — Southwark.
The flood plains of the lost rivers are spindly fingers penetrating the interior. Thorney, where Benedictine monks first established Westminster Abbey in the tenth century, is seen here as one of three islands floating in the Tyburn delta. An inlet of Thames alluvium surrounds Battersea to the east and south, and may once have joined the River Falcon at High Tide to create a loop.
This is the village of Eia, again from the Anglo-Saxon for island, mentioned in the Doomsday Book in In the sudden marshy sprawl beyond Chelsea Bridge, where the Tyburn, Westbourne and Effra discharge into the Thames, the modern city would have been underwater: Victoria Station, Pimlico, the machinery of government.

What I already knew is that in a blacksmith named John Flaxman set up shop on an island in the area — slap bang where the modern traffic island lies. You can see it clearly on the British Geological Survey, and on my map — a dark grey smudge, two concentric oval pockets of alluvium and peat. Covering the ancient village of Newington, this feature is a one-of-a-kind within the London landscape.
This peaty bog sitting in a deep depression in the gravel is known as the Rockingham Anomaly after the housing estate above it.
Jonathan Green, Author: Gamebook Friday Part 2: Beneath the City of the White Wolf
This is a volcano-shaped mound of ice that develops when water freezes and expands underneath permafrost. When the ice melts, the mound collapses, leaving a spherical depression in the earth.

The only problem was because the combat system itself is eternally slow, I never could stop the Skaven before they set off their bombs. That was the point where I felt cheated, because it became entirely luck-based whether the key moment turned out in your favor. The combat system would be a recurring flaw in the Path to Victory ser This was the first Path To Victory Book where I wasn't completely thwarted by the clunky combat system Playtesting is a must on these books, but BL skimped on that.
