p.293 - as with several other maps, the resolution is too low to be able to zoom in to read smaller names on the PDF. The river names are completely unreadable and the place names are heavily pixellated when zooming in. Due to the density of placenames there doesn't seem to be an option to simply re-do the map with larger placenames, so either we need a higher-res map, or to lose some of the placenames and use larger labels.

p. 297 - as above, but even more illegible, with the city/town names totally unreasable on the PDF. But given the purpose of this map, I suggest that most of the place names could be removed entirely, and just have region names with larger text to make them readable.

p. 302 - as p.297. Again, remove some/all placenames and just have region names.

p. 304 - 2nd column, 1st para, 4th sentence, is "Tripolis" singular or plural? "Although the Tripolis were liberated ... it never regained its independence". I presume the latter "it" and "its" are still referring to Tripolis. So this needs correcting to either use "were", "they" and "their", or "was", "it" and "its".

p.306 - italics text, 3rd para, "priestesses" should be "priestess".

p. 307 - 1st column, 2nd para, last sentence, "Pelorian" should be "Peloria".

p. 321 - Jillaro, 2nd para, 1st sentence, "Jillaro-of-the-Prince's Green" uses one em dash and then hyphens. Should be all hyphens (or all em dashes).

Tripolis should be singular, if it follows the Greek.  (It's a single unit comprised of three cities/polities.)

[Steve]

p.321 - Old Sylila, the last sentence uses "satrap" and "Satrap" - should be consistent.

p.297 map - although the key lists the size in miles  of the different coloured/sized circles, we seem to be missing amy explanation as to what these actually signify.

The explanation is given in the sidebar on p296.

Doh! How did I miss that. Although it's more obvious in the hard copy when the sidebar is opposite the map.

But the definition of the grey circles is still missing, isn't it?

A draft version of that map had dwarf zones labelled as blocking zones.

I seem to remember some reference to them as Mostali magical suppression zones.  As you note it may have been in a draft version.
