8/14/08 - updated to show where "Tren" is. Roy got ahold of it too, though

1/24/08 - Updated map to reflect the events of chp 13. I meant to do this weeks ago when I uploaded 13 >.< Sorry guys! And I don't know if I made a point of revealing that I named my AU world "Diem" w00t

8/6/07 - Just a minor addition of some details that will be important later on =3

**Disclaimer** This is from my fic so I know things depicted in this map are "wrong". No need to point any of it out ^^

I should have made this a long time ago. This has a double purpose: help my readers visualize the world I've put together and help me keep continuity in my story.

This is a map showing the meshed Zelda/ Fire Emblem world of my fics Time Cannot Erase and Among the Ashes. This map combines some elements of real maps related to the games and some stuff I just made up ^^ I've tried really hard to create a "realistic" world here with time/space/ size continuity and all. I like to relate abstract things to concrete things I understand, so I have included some comparisons and stats below that should help you orient yourself within the map. I will continue to update this map as the story progresses to reflect new/ pertinent info for you all! Enjoy!
