Jeremiah's Land and Jeremiah Knowles - any exploration?

Given our beloved but infuriating (at times) author's fiendish tendency to hide things in 'somewhat' plain sight, has anyone encountered any text about the middling island south of Tarot and west of Charis with the name of "Jeremiah's Land"? Perhaps it is just a coincidence but with the Silverlode reveal we learn that names can have a significance and somehow the use of 'Land' instead of the more normal 'Island' itches.

We all know how it goes, lack of snippets leads to exploration and curiosity! Rereading the opus with the maps has led to this query!

BTW in the previews are there any new maps revealed, other than those already shown to us recently on the forums?

Don't remember any references in any of the previously published books about Jeremiah's Land, but I agree with you that there may be some significance to it. Perhaps as a coaling station for steamers headed east instead of west?

As to your query isaac_newton, all the previews I looked at bypassed almost all the maps, showing only one. Perhaps others see slightly different previews though, so you can't take my observation as gospel.

I keep thinking there are more assets waiting for Nimue/Merlin to find. If so, this would be a good place on the planet surface.

Thanks - I suspected as much.
