Will we see maps showing the Verdurian discovery of other parts of the
world? You mentioned a colony on the other side of Ereláe; I wonder how
the Verdurians got there without having to sail around other unfriendly
nations.
<p>Maps showing "The Known World according to Verduria / Xurno / etc."
might be useful.
<p>Do the Verdurians know about the northern-hemisphere continents?

<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>I do have a map of the ordinary Verdurian's perception of the world--
it was needed for a D&D campaign-- but it's a bit out of date. I'll have
to put something together, perhaps after the main sequence of maps.
<p>It's a long but not terribly hard journey to Téllinor. Look
at the Hemisphere map in the Atlas. Sail for Leán (identified
on the Terrain map), then around the horn of Ereláe. You might
want to put in at Girona Verdúrë, the Verdurian colony in
Qaraumia. The most difficult leg of the journey is next: the 5000-km
hop to Arcél. But from there on you can, if you're cautious,
just follow the continents: southern Arcél, southern Neinuoi,
then that long peninsula in the southwest of Ereláe leading
right up to Téllinor.
<p>Of course you can sail along the southern coast of Ereláe
instead, and some do. But this route is more southerly, and impossible
in winter, and you pass up the opportunity to trade with Uytai and
Neinuoi.
<p>The Verdurians don't know what's in the northern hemisphere, except
for the Bekkayin states on the north coast of Ereláe. The
ilii once gave them a drawing of the whole planet, however.
