Hello! I'm reading the Tales of a New World and trying to figure out the setting. I have an idea, it the Umbria is "Columbria River"? What are the other rivers, bridges, etc based off of? There are many ruins on the River and I'm trying to place where the Pack might be. Where is Hidden Lake? I know they're west of the Rockies as Rock Mountains are mentioned, having to go East so they can get to the plains. Thanks!

Tales of a New World begins just outside Portland, OR. Farm Island is Sauvie Island. The bridges I list as they go into Port City are the Portland bridges. The Umbria is the Columbia River. On their way to the Plains of the Wind Riders (which is really the area of the tall grass prairie used to cover pre-colonization), they backtrack Louis and Clark's journey. Lost Lake is something I made up that covers the middle half of the journey until they reach the Rocky Mountains.
