Talk:South America

Okay, my copy of Crucible of Gold has arrived, and so I'm making notes of things I need to update here at some point - I'm loving the map included; that makes my cartography work much easier!

Alas, I've found a big problem. In Tongues of Serpents, Laurence ends up talking with traders at Larrakia, who tell him that they heard the news that Rio had been sacked from a whaler out of Chile, who got the news from Santiago (there's lots of cities named Santiago; one is the capital of Chile). However, the map in Tongues of Serpents makes it clear that the Incan Empire covers all of Chile, and they don't tolerate outsiders.

So...any thoughts as to how to explain this? Santiago could be one of many cities; and perhaps Chile refers to a different area of land (or it could have been the Spanish name for the area before the Incans annexed it). Almaron 14:09, 20 March 2012 (MDT)
