Oh, AutoREALM manages to make me scream here and there, but it has one major advantage over CC & FM... it's Free-Software. :-)
although this is possibly not the correct place to say this I just thought i would pop in and I noticed the map on the main page, its beautiful, a true work of art and congrats and thanks to everyone involved, i know personally it will make reading CA far more enjoyable being able to visualise the locations etc of the events as they unfold and will be a godsend for getting more of my friends into the series
Thank you, Bert. I appreciate it!
I expect I missed it somewhere in the 42 pages of posts, but what program did you use to make the maps?
I don't drink coffee. Or any form of caffeine, for that matter, save what can be found in hot chocolate.

i love the twist this has taken....
There would definitely be some departure from the Latin we know. At the very least, I expect a few words from other languages spoken by the troops and camp followers would have snuck in where no Latin word existed, and new words had to be coined over the centuries (like, y'know, "furycraft").
Yes, but again, without truly external influences (i.e., a lot of contact with entire NATIONS that speak a different language, not a few people inside a Legion who will be speaking Latin by default as explained), the evolution will be internal and therefore slower and less pronounced. And finally, please remember that I said "Latin", not "entirely unchanged over two millennia Latin".
Well, sure; even Latin as given by the HRC church evolved over the centuries. Didn't say it wouldn't change, but remember that true outside influences in Alera were at zero and that such evolution would be entirely internal... i.e., within the Latin itself.
Here's the real final paragraph:(click to show/hide)

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
