So I've been gone for a while because my life is complicated in ways I don't think I can talk about here. Not an excuse, just a fact. After some consideration I think I'm gonna be continuing this story at some point, and even if I don't there will be other stories taking place in the same world, so I'm posting a VERY ROUGH work in progress map of the area where this takes place. I have a habit of planning things in broad strokes so I had mostly written off large sections of the Graemarch as just lists of places and hadn't adequetly considered the exact locations relative to each other. (note that I scribbled out the right arrow pointing to Anael's home, because I lost my eraser and messed up how far east/west it should be lol. The left dot is the correct one. It needs to be closer to Low Nemil and farther from Ghorm'nTos for things to make sense later, I'm dumb lol)

I'm actually still working on fleshing out alot of this region, because it's a bit out of the way. It's actually at the northern most part of the known mortal lands. Any further than that and there are older things lurking in the fells. Because of that there's alot of weird cultures and old religions that I've only given cursory attention to. On the good side, it has some of my favorite leaders, gods, and other historical characters. I don't know if Anael will encounter any of them, but the other fiction I've decided to work on right now also takes place in the Graemarch. I've got some plans that I don't want to spoil but I'm hoping that if I get to them, y'all will like the Armor Queen as much as I do and that the Marrow and the Bladelings come across as badass in words as they are in my head. I'm also really hoping that I can figure out how to protray the sacking of Sorrow's Throne how I want to and that Norotak'Hrim turns out more nuanced and less despicable. It's weird to be trying to write all these events and places into a narrative when they've all only existed in my scatterbrained mind and my disorganized google docs.
