queensthiefI'm trying to draw a map of Sounis, Eddis and Attolia, but I immediately ran into a big problem at the beginning.
In The Thief, p.24, "When we reached the docks,we turned and rode along beside them toward the north gate out of the city." But in p.26, "At the south gate we went once again through a cool tunnel,...." So which direction did they head off?
And later, again the problem with north and south, in p.46, "...we climbed the the hills that led up to the mountains in the north of the country." In p.66, "The country ( Eddis ) was narrow and ran along the top of the mountain ranges to the south and southeast of Sounis." So is Eddis in the north or south of Sounis?
I'm completely confused by this. I wonder if I comprehended these sentences wrong. Can somebody tell me what the matter is? Thank you!! ( It seems that I'm always asking questions. )
