Yet another Question

[cherryblosomjen.livejournal.com]

Dear Wonderful Author,

fabricalchemist, anon8, and myself had a lively discussion this morning about the Continental Powers. We seem to have a disagreement about who they are. Are they a seperate political identity that has been holding back the Mede from overtly invading our three favorite kingdoms? Or are Sounis, Attolia, and Eddis, themselves the Continental Powers?

Of course, everyone's opinion is welcome. And clarification from Megan would be especially delightful.

But a map in the books would be so nice. *does puppy dog eyes* Not to get into touchy territory (Bear will yell at me again), but why have you not wanted to do one?

So, we know Eddis is landlocked, and Attolia and Sounis have coastlines. Would they be on a peninsula, with Eddis squished between? Is their area like where Athens is now? Or like Corinth with a small strip of land joining it to the continent?

Yes, I had to get an atlas out to find the Attic peninsula. Good thing I work in a library.

I don't want to put a map in for the same reason that I don't want it permanently recorded on a website that Phresine is a widow with no children. What if I change my mind and I have to slide the Capitol of the Mede Empire six hundred miles closer to a coast so that I can get a plot-moment to work in some future book? Gee whiz, I'll get to the map, really. I just have to work everything out first.

I think I might not be nearly as good at all this business as you all think I am. . .

That makes sense.

Psht. Nonsense. Like Eddis, we all think you just might be able to walk on water and write circles around others. No pressure!
