I've read the first three novels and I know about the maps - that's why I asked about something similar for the novellas. I understand your stance on trying to find parallels, but I assume it was as much fun for you to sprinkle those pieces as it was for us to recognise them ;-) Charlemagne's Saxon Wars, Widukind and Massacre of Verden, the question of the identity of the peoples of the different stem duchies after the Ottonians - this Regnum Francorum Orientalium that-never-was of yours felt pretty real to me!
I want to add my vote to those who would enjoy a nice, complete(ish) map of the Five Gods worlds/countries, especially to cover the lands in the Penric novellas and the Hallowed Hunt. I keep trying to visualize where the characters are going, and I can't.
There are an assortment of sketch maps of various parts of the world available here and there. I agree that it would be nice to have a less sketchy map of the whole of the known world. Some authors have the inclination and the ability to produce good maps themselves; others authorize someone else to do it for them; but unfortunately most authors don't want to bother with it at all.
To take an example of the second category, maps of the Discworld and of Ankh-Morpork have been authorized by Terry Pratchett and sold as separate products.
There is a general map of the Five Gods World, reconstructed from the books, in fandom site

From that page you can access more detailed maps for different areas (Ibran Peninsula, Cedonia and neighbouring policies, etc.)
