Ever since reading Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites, I’ve been captivated by Chris Heimerdinger’s conception of Jacobugath as the capital city of the Gadianton Robbers.

Heimerdinger’s Jacobugath had a Mesoamerican setting, but my version is more of a "heartland" take, so maybe it was a little snowy up in the north.
