Thank you I've been looking for this map (the last one in the series). Do you happen to have the northern portion of the map?

 

[Matrix Sorcica]

That's a pretty good bet, then, that that's where Perkins et al meant for it to be then.

How would the history work, that is a biggest question for me. Nentir Vale had entire empires of Tieflings and Dragonborn, would they now be retconned into Realms' history?
