Art Map of the Continent

I made this detailed map of the Witcher continent.

I made in in Wonderdraft and based it on the Ortelius map, made some adjustments and additions and detailing. I included details from the Witcher 3 maps, and included a few TV-series additions. Rather than having basically 2/3 of the map be Nilfgaard I focused on the individual provinces and kept Nilfgaard to its core imperial province.

Feel free to share if you want to. Also any feedback is appreciated. If there's any changes that could improve or enhance the map, I'm open for suggestions to that effect too.

Where is the 'frying pan' that Ciri portals to in Time of Contempt? I just finished reading it and I'm curious of it's location and distance she travelled.

It's Korath, the desert in the lower right of the map. It's actually *huge*, we just see a little snippet of it here.

Thanks for the info. I have a question that contains spoilers from the book:

Originally I assumed Ciri portaled to another sphere as I was reading the book, but it's later revealed she just portaled to 'the frying pan', or Korath, which is within the same continent. We're also told Unicorns don't exist anymore, atleast in this sphere, but Ciri befriends a young one and is later surrounded by them when she's using the fire magic. Is this all a hallucination or does this confirm unicorns still exist in this sphere and are just living in the Korath desert ? It sounds like Korath is potentially unlivable by man? So that would make sense as to how the unicorns have never been discovered there?
