And does the lack of a map free us up to invent our own countries, towns, and landmarks for the purposes of our stories?

Well actually I am in the process of making a very rough map...though it won't have much to it which would leave you plenty of options for your own inserts.

While I appreciate all the effort you put in I'm just not sure how well it will fit in, especially after my rough map is done.  The story will be fairly contained within Ainedal's borders as well, mostly for my own sake so I don't have to think too hard about other things.  I suppose it might work out if I expand it was Ainedal being their second expansion...but just don't get too attached yet.  Frankly would probably be easier to just make an Ainedal lord instead.
