BAD FORM ADAMSON. Please notice that your Narnia makes no sense whatsoever by any map's standards.
Castle Telmar/Miraz's castle, yes? River Rush, yes? Aslan's How, yes? Cair Paravel, yes? Beruna, yes?
Now. How, by any map -- and none of these maps line up, by the way; I can't even think of a way to make the map in my head line up -- does Miraz, coming from the Telmarine castle, has to cross the River Rush at Beruna to get to Aslan's How when the Pevensies, coming from Cair Paravel, also have to cross the River Rush to get to the Shuddering Wood and then to Aslan's How?
Let's ignore the fact that on the Walden map, Miraz's castle isn't there and the fords of Beruna aren't even on the River Rush. The pretty Narnia map doesn't have the fords, but it does have Miraz's castle, but it also has Lantern Waste in the far, far north on the other side of some random mountains. And on the print map of Narnia, the castle is way off in the west and the river isn't marked. And my default reference map isn't big enough to read, so.
GUYS. I am SO CONFUSED. Y'all have no idea. I have no idea how to make this line up, and I need it to line up. I mean, it's not like the Pevensies crossed the Rush twice, once to get to the Shuddering Wood and once to get to the How, because how did the Narnians cross it, then?
SO CONFUSED. Does anyone even want to fake trying to make this add up for me?
(Yes, I'm writing fic that's not "Old Timber", and now I'm trying to figure out how to get Edmund and Caspian from the How to Cair Paravel. Cair Paravel the ISLAND. *beats head into wall*)
ETA: Wait, where did the Narnians cross to get to Miraz's castle? Did they really get the centaurs down that path at the Gorge? There's a PC map in the comments, which says they crossed at the Great River and not the Rush -- I swear it was the Rush in the book, but what the hell do I know, anyway -- but either Narnia is the teeny-tiniest country ever or they can travel really fast. I vote for option A.
