Map of North and South Narthatheia,

I promised this map way back in book one and never posted it. Only the detail map of the Northern Island was put up more than a year ago.

A version of this mapwas printed out for scenes involving King Falkimir and his staff pouring over the maps. That had to watercolor blue for the ocean, missing here to make it easier to read.

For some of the rulers of the various lands of Narthatheia see this

As I said on the previous map page, travel in this world is not measured in distance but time. It's three weeks travel east to the continent. (depending on the winds) but two weeks west to Narthatheia from the continent. Depending on the season prevailing winds blow west.

—Narthatheia roughly means "north home". Theia is the word for "home" or "where we live". The whole world is usually referred to as Theia.

FAQ: why is there a town called "Markain" on both islands? It means "main city" When Narthatheia was a united country they were called Northern or Southern Markain but that was dropped when the islands fragmented politically. Both islands like to claim they have "THE" Markain.

For those interested in seeing more of the figure who appeared last page as Annah she played Aura in Tales of S.I.G. You'll see lots of her even in a Star Trek: TOS red shirt.
