Is there a puzzle associated with reading the map the way there is in book
5, or do we just need a general description? You'd think I'd remember
having gone through the book so recently, but...

I just realized that we'll need a text replacement for the map like the
following excellent example from Shadow on the Sand.
"The Empire of Vassagonia is a vast desert realm. The northern coast runs
roughly east for several hundred miles before it turns in a lazy, rugged
arc to the south. Roughly at the apex of this arc is the city of
Barrakeesh, the capital city of Vassagonia. The six other cities of this
vast arid country are mainly to be found in the thin coastal strip, such as
Ferufezan in the northwest, and Bisutan in the south. Barrakeesh is cut off
from most of the rest of Vassagonia by the semicircle of the Kabar Range.
These mountains meet the sea on the eastern coast at Cape Kabar, which
overlooks a trio of islands. For all its magnificent coastline, Vassagonia
lacks fresh water, with only six major oases in the entire realm, half of
which line the trail to the south of the Dahir Mountains between Ikaresh
and Bir Rabalou."
Does anyone want to take a crack at it?
