My players are on their way westward, and Akhlat looks like their next destination. But there's a discrepancy in the RoK. Akhlat is in Turan on the outer map and the map of Turan, but in the map of Shem, it's in the Red Waste. I.e. on the outer map and Turan, Akhlat, Shahpur and Zamboula are 150 miles apart and well to the center of Turan if you assume that the Red Waste is the defining border to Eastern Shem. However in the Shem map, Akhlat is on the west side of the Red Waste, well out of Turan and now JUST north of the River Styx. What gives?
I understand that Akhlat is a Shemite town and the description follows. So, by that reasoning, is Akhlat 1000 miles from Shahpur rather than 150? If that is correct, then they'll have to make for the Oasis of Akrel first. That should be another adventure in and of itself!
