Well, technically, could it be that Fårösundet is between Fårö and the bigger island with the bridge to the west?
Indeed you are! But isn’t it a bit out of character for an old fart to be happy?
I thought that we established that the bigger island is Fårö. Or am I misunderstanding?
Btw, great that at least someone is digging in my Game world fantasies.
Well maybe I am not an old FART, but an old gentleman. Seems a bit less out of character.

Agree.
Now, I had to start up GZ to avoid bringing more confusion to the discussion and be a bit sharper on the geography (which is a bit of a problem now that I don’t play GZ every day anymore).
My question is: what is the name of the body of water between the eastern coast of the forest region (with the little islet Påskallaholm) and the two islands Himfjäll island “Färö”?
Could that be part of Färösundet as well as the strait between Himfjäll and Färö?
Or would that be Himfjällsundet? I’m a bit confused here, sorry.
As we use the word “sund” in Danish in this context, it is a narrow strip of water between two landmasses. So I would suggest, that Himfjällsundet is between Himfjäll and the forest region, and Färösundet is between Färö and the forest region. I have no clue what the strait between Himfjäll and Färö should be called. Perhaps Färösundet extends this way?
That canal is not named (yet)
The canal between Himfjäll and the forest coast from IGA to Hjortqvarns Sågverk is named Himfjällsundet.

Do we have to keep in mind the original plans for the islands?

So the canal between Påskallaholm and Littorp should be called Färösundet?
Don’t loose your happy, @Gysbert , I’m doing my best

It could be be extended. Let say that Himfjällsundet flows west and north of Himfjäll. And that Färösundet flows west and North of the big Island (Fårö). See pic below
The Port Färösund must be located somewhere along the canal Färösundet, why else would it be named Färösund? And because the cliffs on west side of the big Island (Fårö) are too steep, and has no roads, I feel the port Färösund must be 4 or 5. See pic above.

If you think it gives us additional information. I hadn’t thought of that old map. Good idea.
Or, as Färö is bigger than Himfjäll, Färösundet extends between Färö and Himfjäll. And the port would end up in 2, which makes more sense.
And the body of water north of Färö might classify as something different that a sound, as the top island might be too small for a sound 
It could indeed extends between Färö and Himfjäll, but the port Färösund would find a better fit in 1, because Karlshamn feels like a bigger place and would fit in 2. That was my reasoning earlier.
But besides that, Östertórn is bigger than Himfjäll and yet in lore the canal is called Himfjällsundet. 
Can you rephrase this, I don’t get it.
I can try. The strait of water between Färö and the small island north of Färö is wider an sits between these two relative small islands. Thus it may not qualify as a sound (strait) but instead as an inland sea or part of the surrounding sea.

And I was thinking why the heck is this gentlemen talking about sounds (noise) for.
So to recap.
• You think that the canal Färösundet is extended from the south coast of Färö to the west coast of Färö.
• The body of water running on the north coast of Färö is too wide to be a strait and probably more like a inner sea.
• For the location of the Port Färösund, you prefer location 2 above location 1. (Where I prefer 1 above 2, because I think Karlshamn is a town with a harbor which fits the bigger area at 2.) Do you have a reasoning behind your preference?
If you look at the waters between mainland Sweden and Öland it is called Kalmar Sund. Between Gotland and mainland Sweden it is called Åland Hav (Hav is Sea).

What would your suggestion then be for that body of water, Färö Hav or something else?

If I’m a gentleman, it must be the Statler and Waldorf kind you are referring to 
Yes, yes, and probably. I’m sure that I can’t do a better job of reasoning at this than you.

Yes, probably. We need a Swede here

It’s the different look at things that I look for. This quest is just like an investigation, where different ideas can help come to a solution that is acceptable, believable.

Yes, that would be nice. Maybe Fåröhavet is fitting? It also means Fårö Sea, according DeepL.
