A Land Fit For Heroes World Map

Recommended Posts

Obviously Morgan doesn't include a world map in his series (or at least in The Steele Remains), but I was wondering if there were any fan maps, or anything of that sort that are out there? I've given a pretty thorough search, but have come up empty. I'm a big map guy, and wish Morgan included one.



Appreciate any help.

Hello,

I'm pretty certain that someone from the cartographer's guild (http://www.cartographersguild.com/) had a go at designing a map.

I'd search there if I were you.

Also, see this thread:

I still haven't read The Dark Defiles, so I don't know if that settles it. But yes, that was certainly the prevailing thought after the second volume.

I didn't notice anything in The Dark Defiles that definitively proved or disproved that theory.

Agreed - having finished all three, I was absolutely convinced of the far-future premise and the Envoys as the pantheon, but if there was any evidence that it was earth as opposed to a colony like Harlan's World I completely missed it.

Is the prevailing thought that the setting is post-Kovacs earth and not one of the colonized planets?

I haven't finished Dark Defiles yet, but I thought the prevailing theory was that the series is taking place on Harlan's World because of the network of orbitals around it. The details and capabilities revealed about the orbitals in Woken Furies mesh pretty well with what's going on in A Land Fit For Heroes.

Woken Furies and (possible) ALFFH spoilers:

WF ends with Slyvie/Quellcrist gaining some form of control over the orbitals and S/Q+Kovacs going off to start a revolution. It's also shown that the orbitals store some form of intelligence and can effect the surface of HW, the capabilities the ALFFH gods would require. Quellcrist and Kovacs are two of the deities in ALFFH and Harlan's World is their last known location - where they happen to be starting a revolution against a tyrannical governing body, a perfect setup for an apocalyptic event.

Shit goes south, Quell, Kovacs and friends see that they're all going to die or fail in their goals. Quell uploads everyone into the orbitals, an indeterminate amount of time passes and boom, we have the setup for ALFFH.

Shit. Maybe it is Harlans world.

Makes sense.

The muhn thing threw me in the earth direction.

I think the mention of 'the Muhn' is the biggest hint of it being Earth, but other colony planets could have a single moon. I've no idea if the Kovacs books ever said how many (natural) satellites Harlan's World had?

Harlan's World has 3 moons iirc. Could be wrong though.
