: there's some weird space-time curvature where Myrgard

I *think* it was just some of the Dwarven forces who detoured to Myrgard, which is why the narrator keeps saying he wasn't there to see any of it. If the entire Legion went that way, then the map's even more distorted; two distances which look the same on the map actually differ by a factor of three!
