Dear Sue: There should be a map at the front of the hardcover of Crown of Vengeance. The scale is rather large, but it should give you an idea. If you can't find it, let me know: I may have a copy of it around here somewhere. I find maps indispensable for visualizing a story, but I am hopelessly inept when it comes to drawing them. We must all thank Tor for their yeoman efforts at translating my incoherent scribbles into something that makes a bit more sense.
While the landscape has changed a great deal between Vieliessar's time and Kellen's, you might also find it useful to know that Armethalieh was built on the site of Daroldan Great Keep.
Thanks for the tidbit on where Armethalieh is on the Crown of Vengeance map. I've been trying to figure that out since I first read the book a few years ago.
On a different topic, I'm really happy to hear you've finished writing Blade. I loved Crown and have been eagerly awaiting Blade since I first finished reading Crown. Is there someone we can write at Tor to let them know not to sit on the manuscript for a year before starting to work on it? :)
In the gap between the Dragon Prophecy books and the "Autumn" Trilogy (Second Endarkened War) the Elves do a lot of spreading out and building, almost entirely west of the Bazrahils. At some point, I will do another edition of the map with the locations of the Nine Cities on it.
And in answer to your other question, a letter addressed to "James Mallory's Editor" at Tor's address should reach the right person.
I am so sorry, but at present the answer is no: the map in CROWN (I believe it's CROWN) showing the Fortunate Lands before the start of the First Endarkened War is all we have to go on at present, and by the middle of the Second Endarkened War, the landscape is going to have been significantly changed from its previous state.
If I were any sort of mapmaker, I would try to remedy matters, but I am not. I will do my best to make the written descriptions of the geography clearer, but that doesn't mean Tor will allow them into the final book. Again, my apologies.

Maps of the lands
(Anonymous) 2016-05-12 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)I've tried to sketch one out as I've read the books, but I know I'm not getting this correct.
And this is merely my personal mind-set. I'm a field biologist and I always have a map in my head of where I am (even if it's a land set in a story).
Thanks for any light you can shed -
Sue
