Ian, thanks for the comment and for the eyebrow raising question, i.e., 

Is Chesslantis the the same thing as Ultima Thule?

The answer, of course, is 'no.' Ultima Thule was, according to the
ancient Greeks, a habitable region very far north (the most north of
regions on planet Earth).

On a related note, perhaps Chesslantis is seen as having been 'myth
placed' in the introduction.  But I believe it helps create atmosphere
for the game.
