Good evening, everyone.

So, first, you may have noticed a change in pace for uploading chapters. I began this story while on break from college, and I'm now back into classes. 

Because of that, my ability to sit down for large amounts of time and write has diminished. I've decided to take this opportunity to see how longer chapters fare, so the pace of release will be slower moving forward, but will be compensated somewhat by more content per chapter. 

On that note, you may have noticed that the chapter heading for this map references a currently non-existent chapter 7. Expect that within the next day or two. Frankly, working on that chapter partially pushed me to consider trying longer sections now, as I got about 1k words in and still had basically another chapter of exposition on my hands. I'd rather not put up just that, so longer chapters!

Now moving on to the map itself. Made from my mediocre Microsoft Paint skills, it serves two purposes. First, I found myself referencing locations a lot in chapter 7, and it helped me to have a concrete, visual reference in order to make sure the things I was writing matched up with what I had going on in my head. Second, the fact that I needed to re-check things spatially while writing made me think that readers may be sharing the issue. So, as crappy as the rendition is, I hope it assists somewhat in visualizing the world Ren is playing in.
