Fellow Chroniclers,
The map has been issued by Kinjiru, but some have expressed their discontent--or surprise--over it. Such issues need to be resolved before the Chroniclers can continue with their chronicling.
I have but one issue by this point, and that is the placement of the Ruins and the Great Dunes. I would rather that they were put on the opposite end of the world, away from human habitation. Thus, Ishmael and his evil cult can work their machinations without being disturbed. As for XForce, my solution would be that they fell into a dimensional portal in a desert on the Spartan mainland, and Planet transported them, for one reason or another (Planet has its own machinations) to the desert around the Ruins, unbeknowst to Captain Elyias and XForce. Thus, there can be two deserts on planet: one on the Spartan mainland and one on the other side of the world. The one on the Spartan Mainland can be called "The Great Dunes" while Ishmael's desert can be "Desert of Chiron" or whatever.
List your own concerns about the map. Try not to get to nitpicky, otherwise this will degrade into a petty argument.

I have only a couple of map-related requests, some of which might be similar to Korn's:
Place a land bridge between the main Spartan continent and Emerald Isle. This will explain how the whole of 2nd Armor is there, and allow them to return to the Spartan mainland when they are finished squishing the Hive like a bug. Otherwise it is fine the way it is.
The Hive continent is a little small, since it once contained the Hive, Believers (?) and Gaians (?). I suggest expanding it to include the smallish continent that is N-NE of Hive territory and roughly east of Morgan territory. Alternatively, this continent might not be connected but only colonized by Hive forces. This will mean the distance between Sparta and the Hive is reduced (making contact and combat more plausible), and might explain why the Hive is where they are.
I assume Hive (and other) cities can be added The Map as they are 'found'. I liked Kinjiru's idea of Hive colonies not being 'found' yet, since this will give authors a lot of license for their plots. We just will need to make sure Korn has a clear idea of where these newly discovered Hive bases are (by coordinate, preferably).

Confusion.
I just pulled up the Spartan Chronicles map posted by Mark G. Is this the final map? It isn't like the one e-mailed to me or the one on Korn's web site.
What gives?

M@ni@c,
Kinjiru suggested starting the serial Spartan Chronicals and set up the map to fit his geography for the storyline. BTW, the posted map is not, apparently, the one that will be used. Korn is editing/fixing the map (I hope).

P.S. - What do you think of the story so far? Do you like it? Constructive feedback is welcome!!
