There's a V on that map. Shiverpeak Mountains. If thats what that part says anyone. Get on paint and zoom in see if you can make that out.

I had a go at that map earlier, but as far as I can tell it's partly misspelled?

Updated the alphabet, C and T were switched around (the T has the upcurve on the end, and the C is straight.) Also added the H and the V to the list. The V is similar to the U, but has a curve on the left line.

Hey, great job I will make a new one if we can get all the letters. I have sorted out the "U" now.

Quick question, do the words in the bottom left refer to the ring of fire islands or the sea of sorrows, or the bay of sirens?

what did you translate?

It translates as Ring Of Fire if you look closely, Crystal Desert is confusing as the "C" and "T" are very similar

Has anyone found a Canthan map similar to the Tyrian one with names of the places? If there are two alphabets it would be good to translate both!

*Bump* Would like to know if anyone has found a Canthan map, best places to check would probably be Pongmei Valley and the Shing Jea Island.
