Morianton beat one of his maid servants and she fled, and "came over to the camp of Moroni" (Alma 50:27). One might wonder where the "camp of Moroni" was located? From the list of cities in Alma 51:26 we might assume that the city of Morianton was north of the city of Lehi. Therefore, if the camp of Moroni was in the city of Moroni, Morianton's maid servant would have had to pass through the city of Lehi before reaching Moroni's camp. It seems strange that no mention is made of this.
Another clue to the location of the "camp of Moroni" might be the apparent strength of the city of Nephihah. When Amalickiah swept up the coast conquering Nephite cities, he "would not suffer the Lamanites to go against the city of Nephihah to battle" (Alma 51:25). We might postulate that a factor in the Lamanite reluctance to attack Nephihah might have been the location of the camp of Moroni. If that camp was somewhat inland, and if it was near to the fortified center of Nephihah, this would be a reason that Amalickiah chose to forego a battle that would have split the direction of his attack, depleted his men, and considerably slowed his objective, which seems to have been to negotiate a way around the land of Zarahemla in order to reach the land northward (Alma 51:30).
