----- All I know is he didn't do the maps in Blood and Sands. Not sure why. ----- Didn't Atlas answer this question? He wouldn't answer his email. As to including "canon covenants," I'm currently attempting this, and it has issues. The Berklist is populated with sourcebook writers, and some of them want the ability to come up with new covenants as necessary to make a point, meaning a canonical list would be overly restrictive. I think it should be possible to make points with less than a whole covenant, (Magus Exemplus of Hnchak and his friends, FrEx), but I've never written a sourcebook, so maybe I'm wrong. Anyhoo, "Need a covenant? Make one!" seems to have been the policy for a while, and there are just too many covenants. *Three* "On the Border of the Ardennes, near Belgium", at least 8 in Novgorod...ignoring the fact that the DatB says there are only 6. Mythic Seas is especially guilty of this, but there's some behind-the-scenes action there that's probably under a nondisclosure agreement, so maybe the high-ups don't consider it a problem. The covenants are also decidedly non-uniform in distribution. The british isles are full, as is Provencal and Rome, but Iberia, Normandy, Rhine, and Transylvania are just wastelands. Novgorod is sparse, but it's supposed to be, and currently so are the Levant and the Greater Alps, but since there are books in the queue for those, I assume Atlas could fix that. And...and...I just looked...and I've deleted my map in a routine hard disk sweep... Excuse me, I have to go cry.
