"protecting core areas of the realm" reminds me of something else...

One thing I've always found a difficult to wrap my mind around (I know, not saying much :) ), is that the rules seem to figure that one stalae = one area.

To look at the RE book, page 187-188, it says, "As the player characters are uprooting A stelae (singular), one player rolls a die once for each story seed the the group planted in THIS AREA (again, singular)."

But a single stalae can define as many as six areas/stelae zones. Right?

So to, say, safely pull up the stalae west of Stockholm, you have to successfully plant and have activate story seeds in all six of the stelae zones that the stalae in question acts as the focal point for?

And has anyone ever done that in their campaign? I would imagine it left the map looking rather... Swiss Cheese-like.

(Oh, as a note, the maelstrom bridge on Stockholm enters into a mixed zone. So Uthorian must really have had his plans interfered with. Either that, or he spread himself too thin...)
