I *knew* I'd seen it somewhere! It's only on maps, never in text; but it's
on the TMC map of Northern Magnamund and I'm not sure how I missed it. It
was 11tpot's map from which I remembered it, though.
In any case, the erratum stands. The text of books 15 through 18 makes it
clear that Vadera is "the principal city of Lencia"*, and apparently the
seat of King Sarnac. That would seem to make Vadera "the capital". Unless
Sarnac merely holds court in Vadera from time to time... including every
time Lone Wolf comes near the country...
However, I do withdraw the suggestion to modify "port of Helmstorm".
* Yes, it says "principal city" rather than "capital", but for comparison,
book 18 calls Garthen "the principal city of Talestria".
