Keep looking, Mikey.  Keep looking midway between Rhodes and Aquitaine. :D
HELFSTEIN!
That's new right? We'll be sailing again then?!

Actually the map traced pretty good in Illustrator given enough tweaking. I still have to find the right fonts to pull it off but still...

Good thing I don't get seasick! Actually, that's me! :~)

Interesting that the waterway between Aquitaine and Maratea isn't named. Guess it never became a part of the action.  I was thinking maybe Kokolores Fjord or Tsunami Bay.

Interesting placement of Marsford considering the text below from PF:

After Uvarton had come . . . Marsford, he thought, where the Vord had poisoned the wells, then Beros, where the Vord had brought up enough wind that, combined with the cold, the Legions had lost one in thirty men to frostbite, then Vadronus, where . . .


I guess I had though it would be somewhat farther west or southwest based on the text.

Yup.  There's one Marsford that the legions pass through on their way to Alera Imperia, and there's another Marsford just south of Riva where "Scipio" grew up.

Your map is truly AWESOME, Pris.  Everyone that helped construct it deserves applause and cookies.  *doles out cookies*

Will the map become availible as some sort of printed poster or something like that from the Jim Butcher store?

Oh hell yes, please, someday.  I will frame it and put it on my wall next to the goldfoil map of Middle Earth.  :D

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that the name "A'Tuin" comes from "A to-ing," as he goes a to-ing and a fro-ing around the universe.  Why won't you back me up, Annotated Pratchett File?  *shakes fist*
This merits an additional "Obscure Reference/Trivia Award"  :D

Yep he pretty much did. As far as nowhere that you could get in Alera.

Well, Bernardholt is the westernmost steadholt in the Calderon Valley.  He could have grown up in Kordholt or Garrison!
