Where do all of Prospector Finch’s Companions come from?

After finding his first three fabulous companions—Teshoni warrior Shonali, Alder fembot Tady-Lic 12♥, and socialite Charlotte Huntington—in Belleville during the second gold rush, Finch travels to San Francisco to find three more—Pinkerton detective Constantia Philpott, ‘Princess’ Lydia Norton and Simmix pilot Tandarine ult Akorebi. On his travels he meets many more.

He meets Prussian engineer Adelheid Kondritz near Philadelphia, Jules Verne’s stepdaughter Valentine in Amiens, France, cavalry captain Elizaveta Gagarin in St. Petersburg, Russia, samurai Takeko Nakano in Edo, Japan, mystic Queen Şah in Constantinople, Princess Gayatri in the kingdom of Amber, India, and Imperial Mathematician, Astronomer and Poet Zhenyi Wang in Peking, China.

He saves Emperor Norton from Nanken trader Miri-Na-Rū in San Francisco, seduces Ilzed scientist Sarah Riegler/Curious Psychosociologist 4 aboard a cruise ship from Triest to Constantinople, and makes peace with Simmix Marshall Eljamit ult Louki. His first meeting with Alder artificial intelligence Sifrah is in Constantinople.

Finch marries Tandarine in an aitarel hovering over San Francisco, Charlotte in San Francisco, Adelheid in Bützow, Elizaveta in St. Petersburg, Queen Şah in Constantinople, Princess Gayatri in the Kingdom of Amber, Valentine Verne in Amiens, Miri aboard the Nanken ship, Eljamit aboard the Simmix ship, Tady-Lic 12♥ in the gardens of Borden Hall, Shonali on the Matryoska balcony. And he subtly hides his wedding to Lydia in an alliance ceremony with House Norton, and his wedding with Constantia in an adoption ceremony for Audrey. Zhenyi hasn’t decided if she wants to married him yet.

On the map, I show where the Earth companions come from. The star people companions are placed in the bottom right hand corner. If you notice that Sifrah is missing, you’re right. In Ilzed, you’ll read why I couldn’t include her here.
