While mostly accepted in Lécaronian times, the identification of the First Hill with Ortûlék is persistently challenged by the [[Kalparian religion|Kalparian church]], who assert the second hill was located on an island in the estuary of the [[Kalpa river|River Kalpa]] that drowned in the [[Great Flood]]. | While mostly accepted in Lécaronian times, the identification of the First Hill with Ortûlék is persistently challenged by the [[Kalparian religion|Kalparian church]], who assert the second hill was located on an island in the estuary of the [[Kalpa river|River Kalpa]] that drowned in the [[Great Flood]]. | ||

The location of the Second Hill is the least consistently designated, mythologies variably placing it in the centre of the world, in a forest, in the mountains, or even simply between the other two hills (so in Kalparian mythology). The Besokian Cosmogony identifies it with the real-life hill of [[Nishûnâc]], placed at the centre of the Old Besokian World Map, and this identification is widely accepted and was even remarked upon in most annotated versions of the Lonsorigi. | The location of the Second Hill is the least consistently designated, mythologies variably placing it in the centre of the world, in a forest, in the mountains, or even simply between the other two hills (so in Kalparian mythology).

Kalparian doctrine locates it further north, tentatively in the [[Kernogori]] or near the [[Pass of Yan]], possibly even identifying it with [[Mt. Andaron]]. | Kalparian doctrine locates it further north, tentatively in the [[Kernogori]] or near the [[Pass of Yan]], possibly even identifying it with [[Mt. Andaron]]. | ||

No accepted identifications of the Third Hill exist. The Lonsorigi merely place it ‘in the west’, and scholars of the Olgish church have variously placed it in Old Selgion, Ukkar, and the Armundic Valley, identifying it with, amongst other locations, the Twins of Carandol, the Inisberg, or even the Shea’voch itself. | No accepted identifications of the Third Hill exist.

The Besokian Cosmogony names the hill ''Nôrâshet'' ‘Land of Summer’, a term later | The Besokian Cosmogony names the hill ''Nôrâshet'' ‘Land of Summer’, a term later applied to Old Seligon as a whole. The [[Old Besokian World Map]] already reserves this designation for the lands east of Nishûnâc; the hill marked east of the Besokan estuary is labelled ''M.ÊN.ÂR.ÛN.Û'' ‘halidom’ and located on the shore north of either Kirospel or Margnan. It can been identified with the hills of the Gnangar or the Besokan estuary, or possibly the Beahal of Loskilón. | ||
Most attempts to place the Third Hill assume a location in Seligon, associating it with the Seligonian peoples, in particular the [[Armundians (race)|Armundians]]. | |||
