Pervez's map thread

I'm going to be mixing them with maps of the region from other sources.

That White Croats page has mistakes. Modern research shows there were several White Croatias (pl.) and it wasn't 7 tribes that according to legend came to todays Croatia but it was just one family made out of 5 brother and 2 sisters that led their people with them. Considering these 7 people were nobility their people can be understood as their retinues, servants and slaves (though these were rare in the Slavic world). This data comes much closer to showing that migarations of groups that carried ethnic names were actually armed expedititions of young and able bodied not that disimlar from what happened all over across central and eastern Europe all the way since the early Iron Age.
