I don't know if it was ever explicitly spelled out but I think Alphinaud at least mentioned during the ShB MSQ that he thought Kholusia was The First Reflection's version of La Noscea. If that's true, then we can safely assume that the rest of Norvrandt is analogous to areas in The Source. So I was curious what people thought the other areas of Norvrandt were "reflections" of.
I'll go first with my guesses with ones I consider obvious first:
Rak'tika Greatwood has to be The Black Shroud with its thick forest.
Amh Araeng is probably Thanalan due to its similar landscape and arid climate.
Kholusia is La Noscea not just because of the aforementioned line by Alphinaud, but because it has a very similar oceanside landscape.
Now for the not so obvious ones which I may very well be wrong on:
Lakeland I feel must be Mor Dhona due to its proximity to the Crystal Tower, plus it has a pretty big lake in the middle just like Mor Dhona.
Il Mheg is a tough one, but if we look at what's northwest of Mor Dhona (since Il Mheg is northwest of Lakeland), I think the most likely answer is Dravania.
And finally, I have no idea what The Tempest would be. It's underwater, so maybe its Source reflection is somewhere out in the ocean.
