I note that the Salisbury map at the back of BoW has renamed all the player manors. I didn't see a formal list anywhere, so here they are, sorted in the same order as found in the main rulebook, but with their new names:

1. Beaverspoint
2. Barleyfield
3. Thorngate
4. Bridesvale
5. Coldtown
6. Hilltown
7. Hiddenford
8. Iderstown
9. Larksnest
10. Newtown
11. Fivefield
12. Pittown
13. Brushwood
14. Pillarford
15. Steeple Longford
16. Ramstown
17. Winterstream
18. Winterstream Farm
19. Woodford
20. Wylye

If anything looks wrong, let me know.

As I was creating new manors for the PKs to conquer / be rewarded with, I noticed that I was coming up with new names that contradicted what was established in the rulebook and the maps, but I kept them anyway. It's your campaign. You do what you think it's best. I use this for inspiration:

Book of Salisbury names every holding and village in Salisbury, along with their income and holder.
We'll get that one going quickly.

Greg, I think that Book of Salisbury will be an outstanding addition to the current generation of material. I've personally spent a lot of time generating all of that information for my players - trying to make it realistic/historical but still balancing the player positions. One of the harder things to get across to them has been the relative size of the holdings, and the contribution that that makes to the power and status of the player or NPC. I think Book of Salisbury would go a long way to giving them a frame of reference, both for their holdings and those of their liege lords.

Personally, I don't much care for Winterstream Farm. Winterstream Place is just as accurate a translation and sounds more pleasing to mine ear.

FWIW.

Indeed ... I think I've come to Pendragon at a great time, with BoE and BoW recently out and BoS and BoU on the horizon.
