Hi Ingo
Few remarks, mostly just clarification of error-type.

Questions:
candle-makers vs. candlemakers
candle-makers appears in 112 and 237
candlemakers appears in 308
Neither word seems to appear in any of the other books.
I think the hyphenated version looks better, personally.
lavas vs. Lavas
Both appear in lots of sections. Maybe someone else sees a pattern in
the different capitalization. I fail to see such a pattern.
Sun-Crystal -> Sun-crystal ?
Appears in 8, 10, 40 (2x), 49, 54 (2x), 100 (3x), 108, 134 (2x), 136,
139 (2x), 141 (2x), 180, 233 (3x), 258, 276, 282, 291 (2x), 331, 350
Remarks:
In section 44 a "Baron Caldar of Anskaven" is mentioned. In 03tcok we
wrote "The city name 'Anskavern' in this section is spelled as
'Anskaven' in some maps. It is unclear which spelling is correct.". So
with this new evidence maybe Anskaven is the correct spelling?
I have already enforced "Anskaven" in The Magnamund Companion, since that is how
it is spelled in the Mongoose RPG. Additionally, the use of Baron Caldar backs
up the alteration of Calder -> Caldar in The Magnamund Companion. The TCOK
footnote should be changed to state that there is a typo on the map, but that
this is the correct spelling [cite references].
Also:
All occurrences of "Saxin" need to be italicised. (ne)
All occurrences of "Cloud-dancer" need to be italicised. (ne)
