I beg your pardon. Okay, here we go again: that weird coloured area to the south of Lakedaimonia is actually a way to represent Cape Taneiron.

What is Cape T.? I hear you ask. Well:
-it is an isolated area which historically was only accessible by sea;
-it is one of the most bustling Merc hotspots with countless mercs arriving to seek employers, and equally countless potential employers arriving to hire themselves and army.

Why is it so large on the map, and why does it consist of four provinces?
-to actually allow it to appear on the map at all;
-to get you both plentiful and diverse troops at the same time;
-to not have to sacrifice a province because of it;
