Pawns and Queens--A 15th C. map of the Eleven Kingdoms

[Evie]

This map is based on Laurna's composite map of the Eleven Kingdoms which was put together from the maps in the back pages of the Codex Derynianus. This is the reference map I am using for my locations in my latest fanfic Pawns and Queens: A Fifteenth Century Gwynedd Story, which I will begin posting later this week. I hope you all enjoy!

The different colors show the current kingdoms and which 11th Century realms either combined or divided to create each. The lands left in gray are not featured during the course of this story.)

Howicce and Llanedd reunited and brought in Connait.

It also seems that Torenth has seen a secession in the north.

Quite so! Also, Vezaire got swallowed up by Joux about two generations ago when a Vezairi heiress married the ruler of Joux, which also happened shortly before the all-too-recent Forcinn Wars that are alluded to several times in this story. Alver and Autun have both been reincorporated into Bremagne, Jaca is now part of the Anvil, and Fallon is currently the same color as Fianna because I think the sovereign of Fallon is still a minor, but closely related to the Fiannese Queen who is on the Regency Council, so they will become fully autonomous again in a few years. (I haven't fully figured out all those details yet, so that's why that description is a bit vague.)

Now that I finally figured out how to create a sub-board for the story itself, would it be handier to have this map and thread in the same sub-board as the story chapters, or keep it in this separate section along with my "Suggested Reading Order" thread?  Or six of one and half a dozen of the other? Just let me know. I probably need to embark upon the grand adventure of learning how to move an existing thread anyway, since I've long since forgotten such dark mysteries.

Six of one and half dozen of the other. I can hardly wait to start reading it.

Is there a way to keep the map in the same folder as the story chapters, but pin it to the top for easy access?

I know it can be moved. I'm less sure if it can be pinned, but I can ask. If two posts can be pinned, I'm thinking a Dramatis Personae thread with images, names, and brief descriptions would also be helpful.

And as you can see, I figured out how to move the thread to the correct board, so hopefully that will make finding it easier.

I really do love maps. Every map tells so many stories.
