Where is Okeno in Katapesh?

[Enpeze]

Any idea where Okeno is in this country? I cannot find it on the map. The text is referring several times to this city but not its location. Thanks for your answers.

BTW: the dark markets supplement is very good from illustrations and text and I enjoy reading it.

My only gripe is the map of the nation. It is by far the weakest part of the whole book. It seems to be just a copy & paste from the CG with inserted numbers and not extra redrawn for this.

-It looks uninspiring and cheap to me.
-half the Katapesh map space is wasted for Nex? Why?
-The locations are only expressed in numbers and not directly named in the map.
-And worse not even these location description text in book do have the corresponding map numbers.

Sorry but this is not the quality I await from Paizo and also not for a 68p pdf of nearly $13. You have done it much better with other maps. Where are the days you released such top maps like those of Varisia or the neighbourhood of Sandpoint?

Okeno is a harbor city located on a "satellite island" that is not shown on the map of Katapesh. If you follow the Brazen Peaks eastward and out into the Obari Ocean, the island is beyond the small round island that is shown on the map in Dark Markets. (I believe that little round island is called "Sand Haven".)

The location is mentioned in the last line of the paragraph on geography on page 3 of Dark Markets. It is also shown on the world map that comes with the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting.

EDIT: While I agree that the map of Katapesh is not Paizo's best work, I think the area it covers may have to do with the shape of the country compared to a standard sized page in the book. Katapesh is rather small and lies between Nex and Osirion. The way the map is oriented, the country only fills half of the map. Centering Katapesh on the map would only have shown you more of Osirion, which has already been detailed in a Pathfinder Companion book. IMO, the map of Osirion in the Companion is far superior the map of Katapesh in the Chronicles book. I would have expected more detail on a Chronicles map. However, the level of detail provided in the text of the Chronicles has been consistently high, so I can't complain too much. (Of note, I think the Osirion book was one of the best items in the line to date.)

Oh thank you very much for the info.

Well, if centering the map is not a good solution then how about turning it 90 degree? then it has again the perfect format. So I suspect the reason for this cheap map was rather to save cost and not the nations shape.

Yes Osirion was a good book with an adequate map. But the problem with the Osirion map was that it names spot which are not mentioned in the text. But everything else it was (while not beautful) at least so ok that I would not complain.
