In redacted, collect every established or working geographic fact relevant to Book 1, so a map can be drawn. Search very thoroughly:

Report a structured list: (1) all named places with what's known about them (type, size, features); (2) all travel relationships (A to B: time, distance, direction, road quality, mode); (3) terrain/water features and their orientation; (4) Edwin's weather-working coverage: which places are in/out, any stated radius or boundary; (5) contradictions or gaps; (6) which facts are Established vs Working, with file citations (path:line). Do not summarize prose quality β€” geography only.

I now have comprehensive canon data. Let me check a couple more specifics: Edwin's weather-working coverage/radius detail in edwin.md and the magic.md "parish ceiling" reference, plus verify chapters vs scenes correspondence (scenes seem to only go to 33, chapters to 031 β€” likely later arc drafts).

Now I have enough to compile the full report.

Good, confirms Book 1 = the whole 3-arc journey (chapters 001-031, i.e., all covered above). Now compiling the final report.

Book 1 Geography β€” Full Extraction

Primary source for nearly everything below: notes/canon/world/geography.md (Established/Working sections and the triaged Open Questions at the end) and notes/canon/world/continent.md (regional frame, all explicitly Working, not on-page). Supplementary: notes/canon/characters/edwin.md, minor.md, mattie-ordish.md, ferrin.md, redacted.md, redacted redacted sentence: unpublished prose

1. Named places

The vale / home region
redacted sentence: unpublished prose geography.md:11-17.

2. Travel relationships (time / distance / direction / mode)

Leg Distance Time Mode/notes Citation
Tower/Appleford β†’ Ashway bridge 8 mi β€” road geography.md
Tower β†’ Saltings Corner ~15 mi β€” causeway/east road geography.md
Tower β†’ Ranner's Sluice ~28 mi β€” east road geography.md
Tower β†’ Fenholt 40 mi 2 days walking east road, causeway most of way geography.md
Ranner's Sluice β†’ Fenholt 12 mi west of Fenholt β€” β€” geography.md
Fenholt β†’ Wystow (plots) 50 mi (Edwin's figure) 11 days (70 road-mi, incl. injury) walking geography.md
Fenholt β†’ Wystow (town, Charter reckoning) 60 mi 8 days post β€” geography.md
Fenholt β†’ redacted 40 mi north β€” β€” geography.md
Fenholt β†’ redacted ~25 mi straight line 3 days (made road, bed nightly) or 2.5 days (drove, one night out) walking, party pace = one-armed man's geography.md
redacted β†’ Wystow 35 mi 3 days causeway crossings then 800ft climb geography.md
Wystow β†’ redacted 40 mi 3 days (~13 mi/day) walking, hill in 22nd mile geography.md
redacted β†’ Ranner's Sluice (fen-edge drove) 130 drove-mi (~90-100 straight) 7 days (redacted, solo, ~18.5 mi/day β€” fastest pace on page) walking geography.md
Coast ↔ vale 50–70 mi 2–3 days β€” continent.md
Vale β†’ Wystow direct ~85 mi ESE 4–5 days old SE road continent.md

General pace figures: ~20 mi/day is the planning figure; actually achieved 15 mi (Day 7), 12 mi (Day 9), ~13/day (Wystow→redacted and Fenholt→redacted legs), ~18.5/day top achieved (redacted alone). Travel default is walking; hired riders exist, expensive, "emergency setting." geography.md, Working section "Distances and paces, reconciled."

3. Terrain / water features and orientation

4. Edwin's weather-working coverage

redacted sentence: unpublished prose 001 dialogue, tracked in the weather ledger. geography.md:18-20, edwin.md:47-49.

5. Contradictions / gaps flagged in canon itself

6. Established vs Working β€” citation summary
