hah hah hah! I found it. The reference that made me think the Phrygia would be in the middle.

CuF  Chapter 26 Pg 218-219

"did you notice that he packed those peppermints he kept around?"  Tavi asked.
"Yes. I thought he liked peppermints."
"No. He gets Seasick."
Max frowned. "But Phrygia's thousands of miles from the sea and--oh."

sorry, not trying to nit pick, it was just bugging me lol. But like I said, it is amazing quality, and I think you all for the map.

Ah, I see where you would get that idea!  The Sea of Ice isn't sailed on, though.  It actually freezes up to five or six miles from shore during the winter.

And I love the nitpicks.  It's fun to be on the opposite side of the detail interrogation for once! :D

Does peppermint help against seasickness? And if Tavi knows about this, what possible reason could he have for not packing some himself during Princep's Fury?

Yes, mint's been known to help some people with motion sickness.

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.

And "green-black hardwood from a Rhodesian tree found near the Feverthorn Jungle". (PF) :~)

His bags were lost at the baggage check-in counter?

Or no peppermint was available :~)

Maybe Ehren offered to share some of his, but it was completely ineffective on Tavi? :D

Code Red?
Quoting a Few Good men with Tom Cruise when he was grilling Jack Nicholson.  "Did you order the code red?"

Problem is, Alera is running out of a few good men....
Of course the ones with Aquitaine are being squished toward Calderon.
The ones with Tavi are squished in an LZ on the northwest coast.
Time for the breakout!

Kind of degressing, buuut, While I don't want the series to end, I hope that it goes out in a bang. Like maybe since the two groups are pretty much cut off from each other the Canim, Free Aleran, and First Aleran fight down through the vale into the Wastes south of Kalare, and possibly put up a brave and heroic last push, while everyone else pretty much does a reenactment of the Alamo at Garrison. I just think that everyone dieing and ending out the story that way would be the best way. lol

I'm a HEA guy. I want the bad guys/gals to get iced and the good guys/gals to go on..
I don't want to see everyone die.
