I just recieved my copy of the Atlas of the Land by Karen Wynn Fonstad. It is fabulous. I will definately have it handy the next time I start the Chronicles again. I have read the series about every 18 or so months for about 12 years.
This book is an awesome companion. If you do not own it, get it.

Hail Tom, I scanned a few pics of some illustrations of Starfare's Gem and put them in the album some time ago. Always meant to scan more, but never seemed to get around to it...

These should give you an idea of what's in the book. It's fantastic!! There are maps and diagrams of everything.

~fly fly little wing, fly where only angels sing~
~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

Well, I've got my eyes open now for the atlas. Doubtless I will be reading the entire TC series again soon, so with the atlas by my side I look forward to the additional immersion into the adventure.

Nice scans!
In TWL, Covenant is running across the land and naming areas "Andelainscion", "Bandsoil Bounds", "Victuallyin Tayne", "Boulder Fash", etc.. that were ever mentioned before that I could find.
Is the Atlas where SRD added names for areas that were not in the first Chronicles?

"This is the grace that has been given to you - to bear what must be borne."
I bought my copy of Atlas on eBay about a year ago, and I've never looked back. It's a must-have for all TC fans.
MrK, I could be wrong, but my impression was that the names of regions that Covenant traveled through in the "Blood Speed" chapter came from the knowledge of the Waynhim, which he shared during that time period. You are correct when you say that those names are not found anywhere else in the Chronicles.

I just got mine also from Ebay. It was a library book (HB) that looked like it was never used. (Had a clean library card and everything! I have it right by my side!
