Indeed, I noticed that as well! 18"-winged beings is what should have been written.

Other than that, thanks for the review!
No problem. It was a pleasure reading it. It is quite a solid piece of work.

Rivers that flow up and around elevations, or for that matter, flow without the effects of gravity.

(And for the record, "notwithstanding" means the opposite of what you've used it to mean. Your sentence as written basically says, "The map doesn't make any geographical sense in spite of the oceans of fire.")
You misunderstand me; I accept the oceans of fire as being a fantasy plot device (and a very good one at that); that part *does* make sense to me.

Only if one considers the borders of land to the sea and, to a much lesser extent, the Dneiper. In terms of the lay of the land it's pretty wacky.
