Gentlesophonts:
Okay, here's my first take on a map. Y'all can use this as a guide for
reporting on your own maps.
Source: *Spinward Marches Campaign* sourcebook
Published: c1985
Game date: c1111
This sourcebook contains two maps of the Spinward Marches: one inside the
front cover (8.5 x 11) and one centerfold (11 x 17) that are essentially
identical. The borders show every world in Regina, Aramis, Lanth, Rhylanor,
Lunion, Mora, Glisten and Trin's Veil as within the Imperium. Imperial
borders in Jewell, Vilis and Five Sisters are `consistent' with previously
published works. Although they conflict with the UWP data that appears
in this sourcebook, the maps do not show the Border Worlds in Sword Worlds
subsector but rather show the united Sword Worlds like previous maps. Two
worlds in District 268, Mertactor 1537 and Mille Falcs 1637, are shown as
part of the Imperium which matches the UWP data.
The sourcebook includes UWP data for all worlds in the sector. This data
shows alignment codes for the Border Worlds for the following worlds in
Sword Worlds subsector:
1424 Beater (mentioned as capital of the Border Worlds in text on P17)
1522 Dyrnwyn
1523 Durendal
1524 Hofud
1525 Sting (mentioned as capital of the Border Worlds in text on P19)
1526 Steel
1626 Iron
1627 Bronze
1628 Mithril
Separate text also mentions that there are ten Border Worlds which is
consistent with this list.
Clearly, this source contradicts itself but other than the confusion about
the Border Worlds capital this might be explained by the use of an earlier
map here.
Because there has been some mention of Regency expansion into District 268
in TNE I've included the following list of worlds there shown in the UWP
data as `Client States', presumably of the Imperium.
1132 Bowman
1138 Tarsus
1232 Walston
1237 Collace
1238 Pavabid
1337 Judice
1340 Motmos
1434 Tarkine
1435 Dallia
1532 Elixabeth
1631 Talchek
1632 Milagro
That covers this source. Let's see the rest of them!
