telkesh:
Some notes on the map, mostly two parts I'm not 100% about. Probably already been approached.
On the map Phrygia borders the sea of ice, yet Max states 'Phrygia's thousands of miles form the sea' ... and I just noticed he was probably referencing the city, not the territory.
The second thing I just an assumption I've always had which conflicts with this map. and a few others. The Marat use rope made from the hair of the icemen. So I always assumed the marat territory shared a border with the icemen's territory, on the other side of the sea of ice.

well, seeing how it's called sea of ice we've supposed that it happens to be frozen atleast part of the year so that both sides can cross.
As for Phrygia, well Alera is quite large as are the distances between the cities.

Hi everyone, I am new here, and I wanted to let you all know that I really appreciate what you have done so far. I use your maps whenever I am reading the series. One thing I wanted to mention to help out, on page 381 of Princep's Fury, it is said that
Amara asked where the survivors of the battle would go, and Bernard said that they would take the causeway north into the redhill heights, and then east toward Aquitaine or northeast toward Riva.
based on some of the maps, I think that
Aquitaine and Riva should be further north. Just the cities, not the territories.
Also, I would think that the cites of Antillus and Phrygia should be closer to the shieldwall to make it easier for the high lords to stay on the Shieldwall most of the time, but that's my opinion. I don't have any references or anything. What do you all think?

Not too sure about that one. Somewhere in Cursor's Fury (I'd have to look through it again though) Max states how he only saw his father in the rare times he came off the shieldwall, which made it sound like the city was a fair distance from the wall. Plus it'd be safe to have it further away from the wall, for those rare times the icemen break through.

First things first:
A Map in FLF: YEAH!

About fuckin time man! :-)

Could you clarify wich maps you refer to?
Those would be the latest ones:
1. The Vale: www.musterpuffer.de/JB/codex/alera-vale.jpg
The green shaded section marks the Amaranth Vale. I think that size and placement was the closest we could find to a "consensus".
2. CuF: www.musterpuffer.de/JB/codex/alera-CuF.jpg
The red Area marks territory controlled by the Canim.
The green Arrows show troop movement in CuF. It's not a hundred percent accurate, since the information is sometimes inconsistent.
3. The Vord (Alera & Canea): www.musterpuffer.de/JB/codex/alera-vord.jpg
Riva needs to be around where it is now, otherwise the people from calderon could not possibly have hoped to get help in a timely fashion, wich they obviously did in FoC.
I agree about Aquitane, its not yet perfectly placed. Moving it would probably make it necessary to move calderon even more to the north. and so on and so on... To be honest, the news of FLF having a Map inside, have somewhat dampened my ambitions to continue with this map here *g*
Antillus and Phrygia, well, we know of Antillus Raucus staying at the shieldwall most of the year, only returning to Antillus during the summer (Pb. CuF P. 129). So it makes sense for the cities to have some distance to the wall.
