@Chaosy.That's up to you,you can decide how your characters got there and if they were always there
@Devin and Directive.Try to update the map to make it up to date.Also,it could be useful to put the name of the province,country,state or whatever in tags.IMO the map should also be be more detailed with major cities,points of interest\importance,borders etc.Sorry if i'm being a bit demanding and forceful.I'd do it myself but i'm not familiar with Vestroya and its events anymore
