Well, here's that fanmap I mentioned. It's pretty much all speculation on my part combining the Wanderers, the OAV series, and the video game (I haven't read the manga), and my reasoning behind placements is posted below. Any comments, criticisms, and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and if any of you notice any locations I forgot to include please tell me about them.
P.S. I would like to thank Rob for providing the link for this image.
P.P.S. Yes, I know the Stairway to the Sky isn't on this map. In the OAV series it appears to be right next to Florestica, and it seemed a bit unnecessary to include it. However, I've begun to have second thoughts about that omission, and I might represent it with a symbol in the final version.
The Alliance:
Roshtaria - I put it in the center since it's the
leader of the Alliance, and there appears to be
something that might be a giant city where I put
Florestica.
Gannan - the first nation to be conquered by Jinnai.
Figured it would make sense for it to border the Holy
River of God, and since Jinnai seemed to be launch his
invasion from a desert I put it parallel to one. Plus it has a port.
Balta Hill - Ifurita destroyed the capital city (at
least I'm assuming that was the capital city).
Anyway, it looked like it was on a plain region, and
something resembling a crater exists where I placed
the name.
Doros Land - a lot of people seem to place this
country south of Roshtaria, and its waterways imply
that it's close to a body of water.
Laide and Geynos - I'm assuming that Jinnai had his
troops attack Laide from Doros Land and then attacked
Geynos from both Laide, Gannan, and Balta Hill.
Complete speculation on my part, but with the apparent
size of the Bugrom army I think Jinnai would've
employed a surround and conquer strategy rather than
marching from one direction to another.
Ogresio, Baron, El Dolash, Kobisho, and the Disano
Highlands - all from the Wanderers, and I based their
locations on the order that they fell to the Bugrom
march led by Queen Diva. I put them in the west since
the east was already fairly full.
Volcano Lisabi - Something that resembles a conic
mountain exists where I placed the name. Might be a
volcano. Might be a crater. Looked close enough for
me.
Jungle - a guess, pure and simple.
Desert of Bleached White Bones - That region looks
like it is a desert. It is also on the Alliance side
of the river. 1+1 hopefully equals 2.
Spring of Arliman - The protagonists appeared to have
done a great deal of traveling through the desert to
get to Arliman so I placed it near the desert's end.
Barrage Market - Since it's a marketplace, I figured
it would be closer to the Alliance nations than
Arliman. Nanami probably traveled to the Spring
because of the potential business opportunity.
Trigger of Destruction/Oasis - It is surrounded by a
mountainous desert region so I placed it near the
mountain chain but still within the desert.
Lilicoco Mt. - Since it was Fujisawa's original
destination, it is probably safe to assume that it is
close to the Trigger of Destruction and that Fujisawa
merely took a wrong turn somewhere.
Holy Mountains of God - It's reasonable to speculate
that they're the largest mountain chain on the map.
Mt. Muldoon - It looked like a separate mountain, but
since mountains tend to group together I put it near
the Holy Mountains of God.
Seminary - I think it would make sense for the Seminary to be near Mt. Muldoon.
Forest of Mirage - Dr. Schtalubaugh's group seemed to
travel quite a ways to get here, and it is next to a
river. Since the south was already decently filled, I
put it in the north.
Mt. Fhena - There's a sharp and very noticeable
mountain peak where I put it. It could be another
mountain, but since this is a fanmap I felt I should
go with the obvious conclusions.
Duchy of Paralia and Beansland - They were briefly
mentioned in the Alternative World as possible
honeymoon locations. Since the mainland had already
been decently developed and islands tend to be looked
upon as favorable vacation areas, I placed them in
that southern island chain.
Neutral:
Holy River of God - I believe this geographical
feature goes without saying.
Forbidden Island - Pure speculation, but since it
remained undiscovered for so long it's probably closer to the Bugrom Empire than the Human Alliance.
Bugrom Empire:
Ancient Ruins - They were underground in a rocky
region with water. Since a desert lies to the south I
placed it in the rockier north.
1st Hive - It was located in a dark, flat region. I
found a dark, flat region.
Kalia's Tomb - It exists in a desert on top of a
canyon. I put it in the desert.
2nd Hive - It is being built at the bottom of a
canyon. Since Jinnai did tell Queen Diva to build a
new hive at Kalia's Tomb, I'm assuming that it's in
the same place. The Bugrom might've put those trees that can be seen in the background there through their terraformation talents for building supplies and nourishment, or those trees might've always been there and were simply not shown in the Magnificent World 2.
Hill of Stones - This is from the video game, and I
placed it near the Holy River of God since I thought
it would make sense for it to be close to Mt. Muldoon
and the Alliance.
