shouldn't Garison be on the other side of the valley didn't the Marrat march through the steadholts to reach Garison. and Kord holt should be west of Garados because in AF pg. 56 Aric says "somethings been hunting on the eastern steadholt"

No problem moving Kordholt. Sounds like we should move it.
Page 286, CuF:
The Garrison however, blocks the Marat at the entrance to the valley between two mountains on the eastern end. The Marat plains are beyond the mountains.
Raiding parties in small numbers do slip through the mountains and attack the valley's steadholts.
"The place was a fortress. There, two of the mountains that rose up all around them fell together into an enormous V. At the point of the Valley between them lay the grim grey walls of Garrison, stretching across the mouth of the Valley and blocking entry into it from the lands beyond with expansive and grim efficiency. The wall stretched across the mouth of the Valley from the Marat lands beyond, twenty feet high and nearly as thick, all of smooth grey stone, is walls surmounted by parapets and crenelation. " .... "The rear gates of Garrison stood open, and the causeway wound across the Valley and up to them."

Aquitaine should be farther north, and Kalare should be farther south.
How did you guys come to the conclusion that Parcia is south of Kalare? I thought they sailed north.
I still think Aricholt/Kordholt should be closest to Garados. They intended to use it as a base of operations against the Vord.
Kathleen Dante:
The footpath that connects Bernardholt to the causeway is the one that crosses the Rillwater. I don't remember any reference to the causeway crossing the Rillwater. Basically, I think the pine barrens, Bernardholt, the forest near Bernardholt, and the Princeps Memorium, and the X marks for Amara and second herdbane should be farther east relative to Garados. Also, the causeway leads to Garrison.

Parcia is part of the southern slave trade. (click to show/hide) In CaF they did sail north upriver to Alera Imperia. Tavi commented to Ehren that they would have to sail around the coast to get to the Gaul. After they got past the Leviathins :), they sailed to Parcia and then north against the current. Captain Demos had to use witchpersons to fool the river into thinking the ship wasn't there so they could make better time against the current.
Forcia is on the west coast. There is a quote in the beginning of AF where Tavi meets Sextus and Tavi describes a desk made of wood from the west coast of Forcia.
I'm still researching the Calderon Valley comment.
I've also created a pdf file with all the pages from the first "A Map" thread. It's here:

Please look through this file. It contains most of the comments on which the current maps are based.
