And on top of that, the icon for the Cypress Gates looks like it was just dropped in a random spot rather than being at the mouth of the true path through the mountain range to get into Skola Vale.- There is a location on the map called 'Deyda Harbor'... but as far as I can tell no identification in the book as to what or whose harbor that is.  I presume that it's meant to be for Akros?  They bring goods out of the mountains down the Titan's Stair and then load onto barges to go down the Deyda River and out to the harbor?  Not that the book tells us this.  And then I guess the boats are then sailed across to Meletis Harbor and then brought through the canal into Meletis city itself?  But then why do both harbors have different font styles and Meletis Harbor not have a diamond indicator like Deyda does?- Anyone have any idea what Four Winds Plateau is?  Or how/why there's a "plateau" on a completely flat set of plains?I've begun actually trying to fix the map myself by moving locations around and condensing all the map borders inwards to just focus on the three poleis and surrounding areas.  But even with that... I really think a new rework of the map entirely should really be undertaken by someone with good Inkarnate cartography skills.</blockquote>
