Vincent Darlage, one of the Conan RPG writers, says:

"He's got many, many errors on that map, actually.

1) The river between Nemedia and Brythunia is the Yellow River.
2) The Westermarck does not lie between the Thunder and Black Rivers. It lies between the Thunder and an unnamed Bossonian river.
3) The Shemite shoreline is too short.
4) He spelled Fort Ghori as Fort Gmori.
5) He doesn't include Amazon or Atlaia in the Black Kingdoms
6) Paikang is too far north. It is supposed to be jungled, but he has it on the level of tundra if you look across to Nordheim.
7) Meru is too large.
8) Larsha is not that far away from Shadizar."

Plus, he placed Akbitana in Corinthia, when it is in Shem.

New Hyborian world and kingdom maps will be included in May's Conan RPG release, ROAD OF KINGS.

I think the confusion lies in the Abtanan, Corinthia province on the Hyborian Wars provincial map. I don't know where that reference came from.

The map creator is responding to Conan guru Vincent Darlage's concerns by updating his free giant map. New version is up, but there are still some corrections to be made (Khauran has no mountains, problems with Aquilonian/Pictish frontier, Paikang still too far north, Akbitania now placed in Shem but also still listed in Corinthia, Ben Morgh [Crom's Mountain] in wrong area of Cimmeria, etc.).
