	~~'We're currently in the midst of exploring the entire Discworld for a new 'Atlas' due for publication in 2014 .'~~

	~~Presumably this is an updated version of the Discworld Map, in a similar way to how~~ {{~~CAM~~}} ~~provided an updated, more detailed look at the streets~~ of Ankh-Morpork ~~with~~ a ~~new~~ and ~~improved map~~.\		==Confirmations and Revelations==
			*More recent surveys confirm {{DM}}'s separation of about 800 miles between [[Lancre]] and [[Ankh-Morpork]]. The earlier mentions of 500 miles in the text may be assumed to be guesstimates.
			*[[Quirm]], likewise, is confirmed to be about 200 miles from Ankh, not 60 as once suggested.
			*[[Skund]] and its eponymous forest have continued their movement rimward-by-widdershins to a position hubward of the [[Morpork Mountains]] and approaching the [[River Smarl]]. The phenomenon also seems to have increased in area.
