Thanks for the kind words. As soon as we've read Princeps' Fury, we'll be modifying the Princeps' Fury map no doubt as well as the overall map of Carna. I/we just don't have enough details in the first 5 chapters (well 6 including prologue) to make any substantial changes.

Looked at your maps and, for the mostpart they are interesting. One comment on Calderon Valley. The causeway is said to run the length of the valley, insinuating a single road down the length of the valley from Riva at the western end to garrison on the eastern end. I'm going to work on drawing up how I pictured it to give everyone some idea of what I'm picturing. Of course, I'm not an artist, but I'll see what I can do.

Here's my version of Calderon Valley at the beggining of Furies of Calderon.

As I read it, it seemed that all the Steadholts were back from the main causeway, which runs from Riva to Garrison. The Rillwater runs the length of the valley. The stream that Isana and Odiana come to after escaping Kordholt is said to run into a stream that runs down through Garrison and evetually to the Sea of Ice. As figure the first encounter with Kord and his sons occurred where the lane to Bernardholt crosses the Rillwater or a small stream north of that (as Bernard tell Isana they met them at the North Bridge). This is just how I see it. This is only a small part of a larger map I'm working on. I'll post more as I get more done.

Here's one more for your consideration.

It's just a basic politcal map of Alera showing the locations of the cities as I see it. I also drew in the river Gaul. There are no boundries yet, as it seems that most are due to geographic features. Here's a question, does Alera Imperia have its own territory like the other Cities or is it (as I think) more akin to Washington DC with it being sperate from all the "States?" and having no real outlying areas of it's own?.
PS sorry I cut of the southern tip of Forica (but not by much)

Hi,
I'm assuming you are using Campaign Cartographer and your maps look very nice. I do not have Winderz and so don't use that product.
I was just wondering if you read through the entire pdf file shown at the beginning of this thread. Upwards of 15 or more people have worked on all the maps so far leading to a consensus (the current maps). And lots more readers have downloaded the current maps for reference.
I'll be glad for you to take over doing the maps and I'll remove the ones I've already done from the site where I've been maintaining them. I've always been willing to make changes in the maps as long as everyone agreed to the changes and that the changes could be pointed to in the books.
M.
