Oops! Well it happened folks, there was an error that was wholly my fault. No public argument, no GM hammer coming down, just an apology and a vigorous finger shaken at my mouse. It sometimes makes leaps and jumps that are unintended, and this time sent Vindobona to Adriatic, which is both illogical and impossible. Vindobona went to Dalmatia, which prevents Illyria from going there, which prevents Dacia from going to Illyria. So here's the new map. Thanks, Mark, for keeping me in check!

"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing. The shadow, even the darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you - That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding onto something."
"What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."
