Well, exactly. The map of tribes printed in Tales and Questlines doesn't
The only other map with any detail is the old one from RQ2, which
OTOH, if Barbarian Town was founded by the Pol-Joni, who have ties to the
show Sounder's River at all. Comparing it with other maps, I'd say
there's room for a whole extra tribe between Dundealos lands and the
river. But Dundealos is the southernmost Sartarite tribe...
confuses me even more. It shows hill country (definitely not Prax)
extending far south of Sartar, past Barbarian Town, possibly as far as
the sea. So why doesn't this region seem to be claimed by anyone? Either
this map has been completely superseded, and Prax should creep closer to
the mountains south of Dundealos territory, or it is hilly but infertile
badlands.
Dundealos, it should be a place for trade between those tribes - so why
is it several days' travel from Dundealos, in lands which are desolate
and/or occupied by unrelated clans? Maybe Dundealos borders used to
extend further south and they have shrunk or migrated north for some
reason? Perhaps these lands have become barren within recent history?
