Do you have an unaltered version of that map I could use to present my take on it?

He also probably did not take this test over again until he got the results he wanted. The Guy Who Didn't Take the 'RPG Personality Test' strives for logic, truth, and sanity above all else.

Eh, probably. I just wanted every major trading town to have a "merch" dialect.

You might also want to save the map on your computer and zoom in to see the little circles around the cities better.
