The Map Provided by the Arcane Sons...

When I was shown the map, it wasn't stated that this was a map of Necrophitus' influence, but rather the reach of the Arcane Sons specifically. If this map is accurate to anything it all, it is more likely where this particular cult has strongholds than anything else.

I spent some time this feast listing all the locations on the map, for anyone who feels more inclined to that format; I'll gladly share it once I dig up that particular set of notes.

Moostrav, do you recall whether this is specifically of the Arcane Sons' influence, or of Necrophitus' influence, or if they were considering both?

They're right in the middle of the Hiolangorn Territories...
There's no way our Warchief would tolerate that, and the Khans would up and revolt before they allowed the Arcane Sons to...

It doesn't make any sense.

I need to go home. I've been away for far too long.

Why would separating the Arcane Sons from Necrophtius matter? They work for him, thusly are his influence, they began when Necrophtius first took students. They are inherently linked in some matter.

Either way, I suspect it's an over inflated Ego boosting move on their part. Though if anyone happens to any of these places and finds out anything interesting I'd certainly love to hear about it.

I would also like the locations written in List format Starling, that would be great.

I have some thoughts and questions brewing about this map, take them with a grain of salt. I cannot say I am perfectly knowledgeable about the lands outside of Travance, so pardon my ignorance and do with the following ramblings what you will

Firstly I am curious as to the exact method as to how the map was obtained, as that would lead our inquiries in a very specific direction. Was is simply handed to us? Did we struggle for it? Who was it handed to, or who found it? The answers to each question raises its own set of inquiries

Secondly while the locations of each "stronghold" (and that word, in itself, raises the question of how a stronghold is defined by their people. A hidden coven? A fortress, loud and strong in it's presence? A city corrupted, or perhaps worse, enslaved?) is curious in itself, and many have shown concern of such strongholds occupying their homelands, it is also just as curious to see where they have Avoided gaining a foothold. There are many lands that have a strong concentration of these occupied territories, while the map also shows wide swaths of land that they have avoided for one reason or another. Some reasons may be obvious, but a keener eye than mine would be wise to study carefully the exact locations these Sons seemed to have passed over.

Which brings me to my final observation. It has been brought up already, but who exactly is the master of these strongholds? Is it Necrophitus himself? Or simply the Sons? Each answer holds its own implications. What exactly is their relationship to each other? Who exactly makes up the ranks of this group? How deep is this bond between the Sons and Necrophitus? An alliance of opportunity or a cult devoted to his "glory", as it were?

Many of my inquiries may have already been answered, and for that I apologize for my admitted ignorance, however if any of these questions remains unanswered it would be wise for a more learned person than I to delve deeper to acquire answers.

Take what I state as you will.

I’ll see if I can get a look at these strongholds in Selendrias the one closest to Greendell is near my birthplace and I know of someone who might be interested in the one close to the southern border.
