I can see the Calderon Isthmus, so we got that correct also.
And bottom right there is a panel showing the Vallis Calderon up close up and personal! I wonder??? Might we see more action in Calderon? Hmmmmm.  Oh yes! And the shield wall up there in the North!!! Oh, and the Imperial Eagle bottom left!!!! Plus the legend, bottom left isn't comprehensible yet. Those six circles must mean something.

Too bad I only have Photoshop and not that high tech software they use in the movies

I like the shirt :~)  Ducks behind and under his computer desk, lest yon Priscellie lets me have it with ye book on the head.

Actually, thanks for the peak. Makes me feel a little better :~)

I am a terrible person.

*griiiiiins*  How did I know someone would try to analyze the image, and how did I guess it would be you?

I'm so excited for you to see it, Mikey.  The whole map project owes you a huge debt of gratitude.

Awwwwe, shucks mam. /* blushes rubbing the toe of his shoe in the virtual dirt. */
I think the three of us, Tsunami, and Kokolores have been at it from the beginning. One of the fun things I do in retirement. heeee.

I wish I could claim to have been at it for so long. I joined January of this year iirc... i guess once i got my teeth into it, i was kinda noticeable *blush* 

Thanks for including me here.

Being part of the... Foundation ?? Base ?? Inspiration ?? of the map makes me somewhat proud.



Priscellie, great crazy stare on the other Picture. One can imagine to see when the cruel idea to post the map tease hit you 
Also, so far the map looks great. I bet it will look even better once one can actually read it :-)

I can just agree with Mikey, thanks for the peak.

Six circles

some representation of the six kinds of furies.

Yup!  They're the six furycrafting symbols that appear on the UK covers.  My little easter egg!

I can stay, I can stay !! Hooray

There has never been a question about that!!!
Well done!

All, I've been looking at our maps as a precursor to the "book" one, and comparing it to the chapters so far. I think we need to move Antillus much closer to the West coast, like on it.

"If he'd been landing in Canea with the last survivors of all Alera, he wouldn't have debarked them on open ground only five miles from the most warlike city on the continent, either."

The first several or so paragraphs in FLF Ch 4 are a pretty good description of their lz.

Looks like we are going back to Calderon. Here's the fictionwise description of the book:

"The next book in the thrilling New York Times bestselling series. For years he has endured the endless trials and triumphs of a man whose skill and power could not be restrained. Battling ancient enemies, forging new alliances, and confronting the corruption within his own land, Gaius Octavian became a legendary man of war and the rightful First Lord of Alera. But now, the savage Vord are on the march, and Gaius must lead his legions to the Calderon Valley to stand against them using all of his intelligence, ingenuity, and furycraft to save their world from eternal darkness. "

I'm not sure that whoever wrote this has read the rest of the books.

Yupp, you're right.
Also we need to move Calderon even farther north, same for Aquitaine.
I've got a lot of work these days, as soon as i find the time i'll modify it.

I'm going to see if I can badger Jim into letting me post the map this Tuesday, rather than on the 24th.

Bows down to her worshipness.
Let me know and I can pop it in the first entry in the thread.

We have now hit slightly over 34000 views of the map threads, 1st and 2nd included.

That's insane!  Bravo!

Ah, but it shows that Butcher readers were hungry for maps :~)
Of course, I don't think it's just Butcher readers.
