His Grace the Grand Duke Kilan never expected to become Emperor of Carann. But things rarely go as planned, and this is no exception. Who knows, he might even learn to like being Emperor.
He could do without Death's interference, though.

NOTES:
Those light-coloured squiggles are meant to represent provinces of Carann. I labelled the provinces and towns I've already mentioned in the story, but couldn't be bothered to invent names for all the others (...yet). The lighter-coloured squiggles represent borders between countries.
Nirne, that country in the lower right corner, has never been mentioned in the story and in fact didn't exist until I started working on this map. I literally invented it to fill a blank space on the map. It'll play a fairly large role in the sequel, and that's all I know about it yet.
I used different fonts to distinguish between different countries. Carann and its provinces are written in the same font, Malish in a different one, and Nirne in a third one.
The Zexian Islands were also invented to fill a blank space on the map. I decided to place a briefly-mentioned city there because I couldn't think of anywhere else to put it.
Aliloken, Liukaizen and Zenda aren't mentioned by name in the story. Aliloken is the setting of a brief scene towards the end, Liukaizen is the province Esergot is in (and so it really should have been named in-story...), and Zenda is Gialma's home.
Fun fact: Liukaizen is a very roundabout Tolkien shout-out (it's based on "Lúthien"; yes, Lúthien Tinúviel), while Zenda is a not-at-all roundabout Prisoner of Zenda shout-out. And Nirne's name is based on Narnia.
This was supposed to be a map of Malish as well, but I ran out of room and inspiration. Maybe I'll make one some other time?
