Confusion about the world
The book makes references to Otamarluk/Dardanet conflicts, yet when I look at the map there appears to be a large land mass between them (Taveruun).
I read through the description of Taveruun, hoping to be enlightened (thinking that they might be somehow subserviant to Otamarluk), but The description (especially the wall they're creating to hold back Otamarluk raiders) just confuses me all the more.
It seems that I had a similar confusion with the projected Gelure war, but I don't remember what it was off hand (and I don't have my book with me right now).

The confusion is due to...gasp...lack of proper correlation between me and Rick, who wrote Taveruun. The conflict is an important part of the history, though, so I explain it by making the whole southeastern portion of Taveruun overrun and un-governed, with the two armies passing back and forth all the time.

Hey Jake, will there ever be any info on the "missing" countries? I'm pretty curious since most are in the region of the Steppe warriors, and I'm hyped to do a Mongol/Hun/Mamluk influence campaign.

Hmmm....maybe. I intended those to be "fair game," but I'm happy to publish anyone's ideas.

Otarmarluk considers Taveruun a part of their country. Taveruun doesn't agree, but lacks the military to do much about it. :)
