A song of Ice and fire discussion (spoilers incl A Dance with Dragons)

I love maps. I have two huge John Howe maps (one of Numenor, one of Beleriand) on my wall. And when a book has a map, I almost always go to it when someone mentions a placename or an area in that book, to see where that place would be. Books without maps which use a lot of placenames somehow irritate me too.

The danger of maps is of course that it's far easier to find stupid errors. Like a party of 10 people travelling from X to Y in 2 days on foot, while the map clearly shows that they're on two different ends of the world with 3 seas and 2 deserts in between.
