The Map Provided by the Arcane Sons...

As context to those who don't know we received a map from the Arcane Sons of all the areas where Necrophitus has his strong holds....
We have taken the liberty of copying this token onto a more legible piece of parchment.
Trust it or not, but this looks to be something of a power play. Something to scare us into obedience and whatnot, to that ends I personally trust it.
Trust however does not exclude the potential of a trap.
Do as you will with this information, our actions will be my own.

It is curious that there are places where we know there are those allied strongly to Necrophitus not indicated on this map. Either they don’t want us to know the true scale of their support, or they wish to mislead us entirely.

Sorry I thought this was implied..... To be fair the map is hard to read from the water, but it is legible enough.

My curiosity is whether they are considering his influence all only purely Arcane Son activity is purely known or if they include where any power he has influence over is. For example, there is a few in Quniaran, which also has a large amount of Malycites.

How much power or influence of this is His own, or just taken from others and assumed for himself.

As outlaws, they ought not be believed in writing, speech, nor gift. The gesture of posting the map is appreciated as a visual gist of Necrophitus' reach, but we know enough of his capabilities that the geography should be no let to our hope. We will face him wherever he stands.

Moostrav- that rendering of Necrophitus is an impeccable likeness, I very much enjoy it.

Leliana- I agree, I am curious what way they define the support on this map. Barak indicates that there is no marking for the Visraki, but we know that many of them have fallen to his power and promises. As well, is a circle an indication of one? Ten? One thousand? More? There is much uncertainty to this information, which concerns me.

Nalick- we do not dispute that we will challenge and hold him no matter where he stands, but an Eidolich alone is immensely powerful. Add unknown numbers of forces, unknown powers, unknown allies. We must take every action, every precaution we have- knowledge will be our strength, preparation our weapon. To rush in blindly would be our undoing, the end of every scrap of life and goodness and light in this world. Every piece of information we can gather before Corsair relocates us could save a life, could aid in our victory. We just must ensure it is not a trap or misinformation, meant to lead us away from his actual forces and allies.
