Lake Laroba or Lake Laruba?

So working on a project, and my editor told me I had used both Lake Laroba and Lake Laruba in the document. So I went to look for the correct answer in my sources.

Frustratingly in Rule of Fear Wes used both... Laroba on page 58 (three times) and Laruba on page 28.

In the Carrion Crown Poster Map Folio, Laruba was used.

In Book of the Dead, Laroba was used.

In the Blood Fate[/url web fiction, Laroba was used.

In [url=https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2n4kk?Bastardhall-next-appearance-in-4713-Any-big#15]this forum post, Wes once again used Laruba.

I'm leaning towards Laroba because the two most recent canon sources point to that, but also Bastardhall is Wes's baby so that gives Laruba a little more sway with the forum posts...

The correct spelling is Lake Laroba. (In cases like this, it's generally best to go with the spelling that appears most often in a print product, weighted toward when the word has most recently appeared in running text but not toward when the word appears as a map tag.)

Boy I really garbled those links huh? Thanks James. That was actually the direction I was leaning for specifically those reasons. It was just that the post recounting Bastardhall through the years surprised me today.
