I also wanted to add my 2 cents worth on the map idea. I think it is a great idea as well... and very warranted considering that virtually every other LW book have had some sort of map inside the front cover. I'm sure August Hahn wanted to leave it up to the reader to visualize the Telchoi world, however, it would still be nice to have something to refer to especially with respect to the far-flung provinces (and towns/villages) that are referenced in the later chapters of the book.
I hope Mr. Hahn does consider drawing up a map for the inside front cover in the remainder books in the trilogy. In addition, the only real reference to date that we have with respect to Southern Magnamund is by reviewing the maps in the Magnamund Companion which are PDF'd at the Project Aon site.
Also curious to know about the future guesstimates for release dates on the next Dragons of Lencia / Glory and Greed installments? Hoping to heck we get to see them at some point in 2010.
