Amarie of the Vanyar has just left Hobbiton.

In HoME 4, Christpher lists the names on this map or sketch, because they are quite difficult to decipher (I couldn't understand most of them [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ):

Quote:
The East: Walls of the Sun; Burnt Land of the Sun; Outer Seas

Central regions: Hither Lands; Inland Sea; Straits of the World; East Sea; Dark Land (South Land)
Matching the map with this list of names, I think that the Burnt Land of the Sun (the pre-Americas) is in fact the semicircle in the rigth side of the map, beyond the walls of the sun. If I am right, it is represented as a separate continent, not being part of the Dark Lands.

I don't have David Day's Encyclopedia, and therefore I don't know if his drawings match Tolkien maps.

Hope this helps [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
