CRIKEY! I don't have anywhere near enough TIME to give comment to all of these posts...I have bits and pieces typed out on Word docs everywhere !!!
I will answer this one though (and not the second one!)...Frengong is the anciently-named Elderling city that is buried beneath Trehaug (humans just called it Trehaug after they settled there).
Cassarick, on the other hand, is the actual Elderling name for the city (as far as I remember!!!), and not one given to it by the Rain Wilders...as is Kelsingra.

I think it's certainly possible the PW brought it with her, as we know she did cart the stuff around. Then again, where would SHE have got it from? Did she visit the quarry where Verity carved his dragon??????????????????????????
Me again! Yes, the Pale Woman did 'cart around' the memory stone in the Red Ships to assist with the Forging of the Six Duchies folk but it was from the quarry on Aslevjal that she obtained that memory stone, not the quarry north of the Mountain Kingdom (across from Kelsingra).
Fitz did see blocks of stone near the shore and, at first look, thought they made a dragon shape however they were blocks put together to be shaped as a dragon's shape but was not one 'whole' memory stone block which had been shpaed (like Verity's dragon etc). It was here that we first truly learnt what happened to the anmas of all of those Forged ones...which Fitz heard as many conversations and whispers etc when he got close to the stone.
Fitz also saw the actual quarry for himself and looked down into it to see a number of other memory stone blocks on its floor, so we know that at least two memory stone quarries exist. If there are two, there certainly may be more...for instance, where did the memory stone at Wintrow's monastery come from ? Most likely somewhere close!
Just imagine what would have happened in the Farseer trilogy if Regal had known of the Aslevjal quarry !!!!
