For the World of Touch of Gray, I previously posted about the countries as well as provided the Geography description from the appendix of Touch of Gray. Now I'll expand on that by giving more of an idea of the conservatorship locations that make up The Greater Tribal Council of the Americas (GT).  Plus the details of Southwestern Alliance Conservatorship regions as Gray lives on SWACon. Here is a not-at-all-to-scale drawing of where the 11 conservatorships of the GT are in relation to one another. So, if written word contradicts this map (I say a city is in US and this map looks like the city would actually fall within GT borders), please consider my written word as correct. My map skills are atrocious, but the below gives you an approximate idea of where the conservatorships are. US = United States (only on the east and includes what we know as Quebec, Ontario, etc) CAN = Canada (west coast and includes Baja Peninsula and Hawaiian islands) MX = Mexico (encompas...

The Geography section is in the World of Touch of Gray appendix at the end of Out of Touch .  However, my craptacular map is not, so I hope you appreciate my bravery in showing you my extreme lack of map-making skills.  Can = Canada with those red circles representing Hawaii. Yep, Canada is a western country. GT = The Greater Tribal Council of the Americas, they include Greenland. US = United States. They are in the east plus Quebec, Nova Scotia, and part of Ontario. MX = Mexico.  They extend down into Central America and they have some of the island nations in the Caribbean.  Borders are not exact, this is just to give you a rough estimate of where the countries are located and what they encompass. For Invisible Touch promotion, I'll create a map of the Southwest section of North America to include some of the conservatorships and their relation to SWACon.  This will probably be posted in July or August.  But for now, below are the descriptors...
