Let's do that then. It's too good of a map to be fuzzy and no matter how odd it may look it's all based on SRD's exact descriptions-prob the only fun I had was extending Perdon a bit north and creating a mountianous, glacial region complete with the impassable river sources that seperate Cadwal and Alend north of Mordant. I started with my own ideals but SRD's borders, etc...made 12 revisions nessesary.

This computers still a bitch.danlo wrote:It's not your comp it's the stupid disposo-camera I used-that's what I get for selling my Pentax 2 months ago-sorry about that. Now a digital camera would have brought it all out--but I can't afford that yet. The fuzzy area above the gray blob (that's trying to say Alend) is Sarab.

Definitely an interesting map, danlo. I want a copy. (I'll be bringing my own digital camera to Elohimfest, unless I forget, so that may be possible to arrange, n'est-ce pas?)
Alas, the only names I can read clearly are ALEND and CADWAL, but the rest more or less corresponds to the mental map I constructed while reading the books last time round. I did think of Mordant as a bit more triangular than you've made it — northwestern border closer to a straight line than the roughly circular arc you've shown — but that's the only difference that leaps to the eye. And I freely admit that I'm probably mistaken about that point. After all, you're the one who went over the books painstakingly enough to construct an actual map.

It is nice, and a lot better than nothing. (Leaves me wondering why Donaldson, who went to the trouble to write two books in which the geography clearly mattered, didn't trouble to make a map...)
Can't figure out how to save a copy to my computer...
