Love the map, it's pretty fraking amazing, a few things though... Whats the sickly yellow smudge in the feverthorn jungle? and on that note, the placement of the feverthorn jungle makes it look like it would be in Aquitaine's domain... but we know its in Rhodes...
Last nit picky thing.... the placement of Phrygia bugs me... I always pictured it a bit closer to Antillus than that. If for no other reason that to make it easier to respond to major attacks in the middle of the Wall...
But over all, amazing work. Thank you everyone who helped make it possible

1. The sickly yellow smudge is nothing. It's just part of the weathered paper texture I used in the desktop. It's not in the printed version of the book. :D
2. The Feverthorn Jungle is is between Rhodes and Aquitaine. Sharp-eyed readers will spot a reference to this in book 6.
3. The major cities of Phrygia and Rhodes are towards the ends of the walls, though there are outposts all along the wall. They don't leave the middle of the wall undefended! There's no causeway between Antillus and Phrygia, so it's difficult to move troops along the wall itself. It's mostly heavy lifters like Lord Antillus who do the traveling in response to increased need.
John 1:17:
in response to the last point... could the Wall also be crafted like the Elinarch or the Causeways? It makes sense when you think about it... lol And i understood that the jungle was between the two, it just seems like it should have been slightly closer to Rhodes that Aquitaine.
Uilos:
It would make sense that the Wall itself would be the linking causeway between Antillus and Phrygia, and those battlements are individual forts used to monitor each part of the Icemen's territory carefully. It also makes sense that Phrygia would be a coastal City or at least near some major body of water. Only Alera Imperia and Placida are landlocked

It's more a matter of terrain than pure proximity. Much of Aquitaine is heavily mountained. The area surrounding the Feverthorn Jungle is more typical of Rhodes, which is comparatively flatter. It's notable for its orchards and fruit production, and so also for its wines.
