Finally, here are my stelae coordinates for Orrorsh.  Most of them
match the values printed in the Infiniverse Update but there are a
some exceptions - and some doozie mistakes!

Mistake #1: Four stelae were ignored.  I can almost excuse two of them
as they are the two northernmost ones (Thailand & near Cambodia) and
the stelae region they define is apparently not an active one (it is a
Dominant Core Earth zone).  But the other two are right in the middle
of large stelae areas - one of them is even part of the stelae region
around Illmound Keep!  

The locations I came up with for these four stelae are:

102.5 E, 11.5 N  Ko Kut island, off the coast of Cambodia
100 E, 15 N  Chainat, Thailand
115 E, 0  
125 E, 8 S  North of the island of Alor

Mistake #2: Two stelae in the list from IU are in Australia.  Maybe
they are just part of an expansion plan or something and are currently
not being used, but there is no mention anywhere of stelae being
planted in Australia.  Plus, the northernmost of these two stelae is
about 500 miles away from the closest Orrorsh stelae (not very useful
without another two stelae somewhere in between) and the other one is
about 1000 miles away from that one!

The two stelae are supposedly at:

125 E, 18 S  
114 E, 30 S

The rest of the stelae are listed below in the same order as they are
in the IU (except that I have removed the two Australian ones from the
list below).  None of the stelae were off by more than one degree in
either latitude or longitude (though some were off by a degree in both
directions) so depending on the scale of your map the published ones
may work fine.  Coordinates marked with a '*' are the same as in the
IU and coordinates marked with a '@' were used as starting bases for
my attempt (so they are also the same as in IU).  I have tried to
include names of locations that are near the stelae to aid in locating
them.
