A Fragment of Historic 1676 Map
Locations # 1, # 2, # 4, # 5, # 6 and # 7 are villages, and location # 3 is a manor called Woisaka Hoff; hoff (swe.) = manor, estate. Four locations - # 7, # 8, # 9 and # 10, are not the "key-players" in this tutorial and marked just to show you a couple of noticeable changes.

Also the spellings of place names are slightly different.
