Map Discussion

I'm assuming our province will look more like this, with the islands of Balfiera and Betony still being under Breton control, considering Sentinel lost the Betony War.
This page has good variations of the TESII Daggerfall map, like climate, heightmap, political and concept.
Probably neither the Daggerfall map or the Arena map are relevant in 427 since the Warp in 417. I'm wondering though, would those other city-states that were wiped out now be cities and towns in their respective regions? For example:
Daggerfall:
Betony
Daggerfall (capital)
Glenpoint
Glenumbra Moors
Ilessan Hills
Northmoor
Shalgora
Tulune
Wayrest:
Alcaire
Anticlere
Bhoriane
Daenia
Dwynnen
Gavaudon
Kambria
Koegria
Menevia
Phrygias
Urvaius
Wayrest (capital)
Ykalon
Orsinium:
Wrothgarian Mountains
Orsinium Area
Or will these be counties? The Warp in the West book reads: "'The Warp in the West', is celebrated as the product of the miraculous interventions of Stendarr, Mara, and Akatosh to transform this troublesome region into peaceful, well-governed Imperial counties. The catastrophic destruction of landscape and property and the large loss of life attending upon this miracle is understood to have been 'tragic, and beyond mortal comprehension."
So the heighmap will be completely different. This is exciting in the sense that we don't have to adhere to the design that was establish in TESII lore, as almost all the cities and landscape and people were obliterated. That's also going to require a lot of new lore and conceptualizing on our part. I remember reading an article years ago of an interview with Todd Howard saying that he envisioned Daggerfall castle on top of a very large hill surrounded by a moat.
My main question is, what are Daggerfall, Wayrest and Orsinium now? Are they regions? Very large city-states? They look too huge to be counties, despite the Warp in the West book saying that. Thoughts?
