Right... still have to work on a world map.<br/><br/>Just as a point of reference, the Great Gateway is located in the Southern most reaches of the continent.  That is where the Blight is the most concentrated and it would be travelling north as it spreads.  Garados is located towards the southern portion of Averil.  There was a nation that bordered Averil's south-eastern edge, but that was where the gateway appeared and it had subsequently been wiped off the map and simply referred to as The Wastes on account that the Blight makes settling that far South neigh impossible.
