Is kelsingra the same city that fitz discovered [rwc and aq]

[Farseer]

Is kelsingra the same city that fitz discovered becuase some things seem different. Such as no liquid skill, or gorge.

Just realised that I hadn't addressed this: re the gorge. I am assuming that by 'gorge' you mean the part that has been cloven away from the rest (that appears like a rent in the earth). Both Fitz, in AQ, and Tintaglia, in SoD, noted this significant detail of the Kelsingra landscape and then it was still further confirmed by Alise, in CoD. I know that at least Fitz and Alise likened it to having a giant axe split the earth. EDIT: This is what my 'giants-will-eventually-be-introduced-into-the-realm theory' mostly stems from. END EDIT.

As far as the Skill River goes, as per the link in my previous post, both Tintaglia and Fitz noted the well and windlass and this was how the Elderlings of old brought up the silver Skill to offer to the dragons (from memory, one such woman who drew the Skill up from underground wore green and gold). Outside of Fitz witnessing it through his Skill-link with Verity in AQ, that he did not see (nor yet have those characters in RWC so far) the actual river where Verity and Kettle did lathe themselves, only means that it is not in that specific location. Given that it is detrimental to humans, it only stands to reason that the silver Skill would be kept somewhat protected lest it inadvertantly do someone damage. Dragons, Elderlings and humans inhabited the city and region together so the human element likely had to be protected from the Skill.

On a tangent I've not explored before (off-the-cuff stuff this!), maybe that human element was jealous of the dragon and Elderling use of the precious silver liquid (as well as their beauty, ability and status in society etc) and thus acted to make it, and the subsequent rewards, available to all?

Wherever that Skill River is, you can be sure that Pecksies have access to it also.
