We got this one, finally.

We'd been on the right lines ages ago, using the titles of the books and their authors to generate a string of letters, then indexing into it using the numbers.

CT was showing us today that we had the right method to solve the puzzle, which meant we were just using the wrong data.

First page of "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, my lad" (fair use lets me post this selection we are analyzing but not the entire story) - PDF file, below.

also, the first page of Papillon - a map, the first page of text, and information about this English translation are included. PDF file, below.

On a search for related terms, I found:

Dusky Sound: all those waters of Dusky Sound to the east of a line
drawn from Five Fingers Point on Resolution Island (at 45o44.67'S and
166o26.70'E) to South Point (at 45o48.79'S and 166o27.40'E)

It is about the easternmost point of New Zealand South Island.

There is another five finger point in New Hampshire, it is a cove with a lighthouse (isn't this a coincidence. The term feature could mean geographical feature. I actually found a website that describes this five finger point and says "cove" next to feature type.

I was thinking:

Half of world - Northern Hemishpere
Realm - America
Region - New Hampshire
Feature - Cove
Last Mystery - ????

The first letters spell NANC_ . Could this be NANCY.

Nancy did it.

(If this is another reference to the Beast (the original A.I. ARG...))

At the start of the Beast, Evan Chan was dead and the players decided his wife did it (at least until we started getting clues about what really happened). Her name was Nancy. Her name was taken in vain alot.
