When Kalarus took hostages, who did he take (I don't have my books right now)? Because he needed to do so to stop two High Lords from interfereing, meaning that they would have been of strategic help to Ceres, if IRC.

They were Atticus and Placida. Placida is just north of Ceres and Attica is east of Kalare and in position to prevent Kalare's forces from reaching Alera Imperia assuming Kalare's tactical plan for Ceres succeeded.

I reread CaF for the 5th or 6th time. Right at the end, after Bernard and Amara are flying home to the Calderon Valley, the first stop is a stay at an inn in Attica, which is one days flight from Kalare (or what used to be Kalare).
So I've moved Attica to the west of the capitol.

Nice find. I had considered proposing just that, but I only had suspicions. During FoC, when Amara escapes the "renegade" legion which pretends to belong to Atticus, she flies east to the Gaul. Which would make it reasonable to assume that Atticus' lands are west of the Gaul.

I redid the Calderon Valley map slightly.

Well believe me, Mike, I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.

I could be wrong here but wouldnt garados(sp) and the pine barren's be west of bernarholdt? since the marat didnt come through the sea of ice to get to the pine barrens? maybe I need a reread but jus looking at the maps I dont see the why the pine barrens would be important for a marat invasion at the current position you have on your map tell me if im wrong here  Smiley

I haven't been paying much attention to this thread, so when I just dropped in and saw how much work had been done since I last saw the "original"... I'm blown away!  With no disrespect to the original, I'm so impressed at how it's actually looking like a real map now.  The geek in me (okay, what part of me *isn't* the geek?) is feeling particular glee at how the coast of the Canim bloodlands fits suspiciously well into the Carna's coast bordering the Sea of Ice.  It makes me think of how well South America fits into Africa, and the science of plate tectonics. 

Everyone involved in this project deserves a pat on the back!  I'm stickying this topic.  Belgarion, you might want to keep the first post in this thread updated with links to the latest version of the maps for easy access, like we do for the Timeline threads.

I've been putting the links in each of my posts. How do I keep the first post updated with the links? I'll be glad to do it, no problem.

And to answer this you're not wrong, I have been thinking of moving the memorium south and more east below the causeway. It would make more sense for Septimus to have made a stand there. But the pines were definitely north of Bernardholt.  The Marat were out scouting the valley. I think the pine forest was just in the way.
I've been waiting for more suggestions before I update the maps. Smiley Keep questioning, it will help us make the maps more accurate.
