Talk:Cape of the Blue Divide

Sketchy info
The info on the Cape of the Blue Divide page isn't really what I'd call solid. First, a cape is not a stretch of water. It's "a point or extension of land jutting out into water as a peninsula or as a projecting point".

The Pocket Guides to the Empire that are cited do mention the cape in a confusing light though.

Cyrodiil: " Their earliest voyages took them as far as the  Iliac Bay  and the  Cape of the Blue Divide, whose ports they annually raided until the (then) superior Yokudan navies arrived, ca. 1E810 . "

Hammerfell: "Stros M'kai itself would be an unassuming little port, famous only for its Dwemer Ruins, were it not for its presently strategic location near the  Cape of the Blue Divide [annot 9], the waters of the dread  Aldmeri Dominion ."

See the difference? Now you could, as a fix, imagine an 'and' before 'the waters' and make the sentence sound a bit more poetic. I doubt this was Bethesda's intention though.

In the Aldmeri Dominion guide it's again mentioned as a piece of land, like it should be.

Second, how is the cape part of Cyrodiil if it's near Stros M'Kai? Seems quite a strange assumption to me.
