Hetan, on your map the long, thin landmass next to Genabackis is Genostel, not Assail? That makes Genostel a continent (larger than Jacuruku from the look of it), not an archipelago as mentioned in the books?
Also, does Genabackis really end just off the edges of the maps in the book (ending up looking like a snail without a shell) or is there substantially more land there then we've allowed for?
If we take the 1 league = 3 miles standard (I believe SE has not confirmed this, but this is the fantasy default measurement), than Quon Tali is about the same size as Australia (which also looks very small on world maps) and the 7C subcontinent about the size of the continental US, which seems to track.
On the map that I have seen it is marked as Genostel with Assail and Bael being directly below Genebackis. Genebackis is cut off a little on the version that we have - basically the curve from Nathilog to Morn, from what we've seen on the publishedmaps, Likewise with Korel and Stratem (bottom right) - it doesn't look like there's a lot cut off there either.
As I said before - the map was drawn a long time ago though and the author's may have revised and re-positioned things.
@ Sadist - that is amazing! thanks for bringing it to life.
