1.2.2-Artificialities



I need to cross-post my DW posts to #ClubNinetyThree, though I haven’t exactly come up with any deep insights just yet. I did want to share this more promptly, though, in case it’s of use to anyone else. I got so fed up with not having a clear mental map that I had to make one.

The source map comes from here[www.emersonkent.com/map_archive/france_1769_1789.htm], and it depicts pre-Revolutionary France — I think it’s from the 1760s? Maybe it’s a later map showing that era. Anyway, I will pretend that I chose the earlier map out of a conscious artistic decision to show the historical regional divisions still at work here, but what it actually mostly is is that I couldn’t find a 1793 map of high enough resolution to be useful.

This is where we stand as of chapter 1.2.2. The grey line is the Claymore’s path, with the dotted line showing where it’s currently headed; all other notes are in red; Brittany is in blue, the Vendée in pink, Astillé where the forest is located in red. The Vendée and Astillé are extremely approximate, because I’m not a cartographer.

We’ll see if I manage to keep this up — depends on how much time I have and how much the geography is bugging me, probably — but fyi for those as currently lost as I was!
