bedlamsbardOH LOOK MAP TROUBLES AGAIN.
Seriously, one of these days I just need to sit down and draw my own map of Narnia. Why the hell is my Lantern Waste pretty far south, when everyone else's Lantern Waste is in the far north? I do not understand why my brain puts Lantern Waste either in the far southwest or in the midwest (of, uh, Narnia. Not the U.S.), but everyone else is all, "Far northwest! Far corner of Narnia!" and I am all, "NO IT IS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION YOU IDIOTS." Also, one of these days I have to go back through the rest of my fic and note all the locations I've named that aren't canon by someone's map.
Of course, I'd have to do three different maps, to account for how Narnia changes between the Golden Age and PC, and PC and LB/Dust. And I probably won't change location names (even if the Telmarines totally would have changed them), if only because Lewis didn't and I don't want to confuse people that much.
Good thing Tirian knows this shit, at least. *flaps hands* Recent Narnian history, distant Narnian history, by the end of this story we're going to have an accounting of everything that happened from the end of PC to the beginning of Dust as far as the Telmarine kings go -- Rilian, kind of a tyrant; Tirian, smart enough not to tell Peter and/or Eustace that straight-out. We're also hearing about Absalian the Blind, Rilian's grandson, who was one of the best kings in Telmarine Narnian history.
