Hello all!

A friend of mine brough this http://i.imgur.com/jEBLiat.jpgto my attention recently and it has brought into my mind a few questions that I was hoping maybe the Lore Community could help me address. ( I realize that this is not official in any way and implicates MK, so fair warning to all since this apparently is a thing now)

The afore mentioned map puts Akavir pretty far to the South East of Tamriel, but we know that http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Roscrea was annexed by Solitude and that this paticular island was found in the Sea of Ghosts. It would seem logical to believe that the remaining islands Uriel used to hop his way across the ocean to Akavir would also be in the Sea of Ghosts, and the fact that Solitude of all places began annexing places like these that it would be somewhere close enough that the city could exercise its claims.

Should it not also stand to reason that Akavir itself would be more North East, rather than South East? or does the Sea of Ghosts actually expand that far South East?

Thoughts anyone?

While Report: Disaster at Ionith gives the suggestion that each island Uriel V conquered was directly related to an invasion of Akavir, Brief History of the Empire tells us Roscrea was the first one he conquered. It's possible the invasion of Roscrea was more like a training run, a proof of concept for his naval ambitions, rather than an island which would be a stepping stone in the direction of Akavir.

There are these rather recent threads discussing the issue in depth:

Although no definitive result was reached, it's pretty certain that Roscrea is somewhere in the Sea of Ghosts (north) than south of Tamriel.
