Where is Pondium ?

Hello! I have a question regarding a location in Wraeclast: Pondium

As stated by Weylam, there is a pirate city named Pondium somewhere in Wraeclast

"

Pondium
Think of the worst place ye can imagine. That’s Pondium. Now think of the gods-be-damned best whore house you’ve ever had the pleasure of. That’s Pondium. A ‘pirate paradise’ full of bodies to stab, holes to fill, and devious liquor to imbibe.

Brinerots control the whole island, and make sure it lives up to the lowest of expectations.

Can’t imagine much has changed since I was there last. Still, it’s a good place to swash your buckle and make love to a bawdy buxom bunter out back of a boozy bar!

Do we know, even roughly, where it is located ? I cannot seem to find the information.

Thanks for your attention!

Wow thank you! This definitely answers the question.

I never knew there was a full map. I was trying to gather bits of intel from in-game map UI ahah

Whorehouse league here we come!

Note that that map is not an offical map, thus can be wrong and have stuff assumed about it. But it does line up with their larger maps that float around, and Pondium should be roughly there as a series of islands off the north east of Wraeclast.

Thank you for the precision !

Here's the 'offical' one, dubious only because the labels are VERY hard to read due to the color of the image.

Fun trivia fact, Trathus in the bottom left (a landmass mentioned a few times, but never visited) is a 1 for 1 replica of the geography of a New Zealand region called the Banks Peninsula. Though I'm not sure why, perhaps a home place of a lead dev or world writer? It's pretty far from the GGG headquarters to my understanding, but I'm not exactly up to speed on New Zealand geography.

I find it pretty awesome that there are so many places we have yet to go in the story. I wonder if they will be used in PoE2

Well it seems Ezomyr is on that list as it appears to be the starting area, and some of the early work was listed as Maraketh (as in the actual heart of the desert civilization's lands, not the boarders where it meets Sarn we see in PoE1).

Of course we've barely seen the Karui Archipilgo, Phyrral is mentioned in a few snippits as a place the Harbingers first hit (according to Kirac at least), Trathus of course has been brought up a bunch, and we know a little about it (It's cold, it has snakes, it appears to be brutally managed, it has heavy mines which produce alchemically important powders), and "The Southern Reaches", some sort of anartica analog that Innocence fled to during his self imposed exile, but also mentioned in at least one or two unique item flavors. And of course the goddless lands the Kulgarrens are from which is not on any map.

All of this is so intriguing.

Keeping that in the back of my head for another custom league where it'll be relevant
