Meravon or Merovan? Pathfinder 2e AP Extinction Curse

So, on the map, there is a road that goes south from Turpin Rowe called "Merovan" Road, not Meravon.

However, the World Guide calls it Meravon. Which is accurate? Or are they two separate places? It's very confusing and a horrible typo multiple times.

To elaborate, this is a horrible typo in the sense it's performed multiple, numerous times. "Merovan" is not just in a single sentence, or here and there, but across maps and paragraphs, in descriptions and also makes reference to the city "east" in the Immenwood, meaning it very well could be referencing Meravon - which is problematic as the entirety of the World Guide hinges on it being spelled with the 'a' and 'o' situated as spelled above.

Which urges the question does the "Merovan Road" lead to Meravon or Merovan? Kind of important when world building based on a canon foundation.

They're the same place.

Perhaps chalk up the confusion to a difference in how it's pronounced in the local dialect.

So it is actually a typo, but flavor it "as you will" sort of thing?

Is there a more official/correct spelling?


If the road is called Merovan Road, and it goes to a place called either Merovan or Meravon I’m gonna call the “flavorful town” Merovan, becoz the Road and because it aint some aquatic version of a company trying to sell something door to door.

I love Galorion, Piazo have done an awesome job, and are always willing to clarify for no good reason.


The World Guide places Meravon as the closest city to the Old Forest Tower. This appears to not have been synchronized with the adventure info, where Turpin Rowe is that.

Anyway, I can't find any information or discussion of Merovan except here, so I thought to ask what the notable inns and taverns of Merovan are called?

Minor detail from Abomination Vaults:

I'm having one of the thieves captured by morlocks say he's done, and he'll be leaving Otari for the NNNN in Merovan. (Merovan appears to be the closest town)

Where NNNN is the inn or tavern most likely to attract a lowlife like that.


Thank you.
