User blog:-Chloe-/Regions and Places in Albion



While I was watching "The Sword in the Stone" (part one and part two) and reading the transcript for those episodes, I noticed that some of the things that Merlin said totally contradicted what was on the Map.

In part one, Merlin said "''I know a place. Ealdor. It's beyond the White mountain." ''Now, if the 'White Mountain' is the same as The White Mountains, how can Ealdor be beyond the The White Mountains ?

Later on, Merlin also says ''"We're heading north to a safe haven, to Ealdor." ''Presuming, that the top of the map is North (seen as though the Western Isles are to the west of the map), on the map Ealdor is to the east! Furthermore, to support this point, on the map Essetir/Lot's Kingdom is to the East, as is Ealdor. However, in a conservation between Tristan and Merlin it seems that once again Essetir/Lot's Kingdom is not to the East, but North. The conversation:

TRISTAN

So where're you headed?

MERLIN

North over the border.

TRISTAN

Lot's kingdom. He doesn't take kindly to strangers, I can tell you. Likes to decorate his fortress with their heads.

Now, I could be completly all wrong about this, but even so, I wanted to point it out! What do you think?
