Well, that is true.  However, lets say that the Unity was more durable than
most ships due to the portal, however I hafta wonder if it crashed and
spread debris over large expanse.   I think they left the location of the
Portal deliberately ambiguous due to this fact. Put it anywhere.  We know
that the only fact is the Reckoners are on Two.  That was the only concrete
info.  So, looking at the map, it appears that the ship went from West to
East, debris could have scattered throughout several posibilities.  I am
figuring that the Reckoners were in the center of Two, the box landed in
Death Valley, and the rest of ship (crew and such) land on SouthWestern
coast of One, possibly on the Trail of Spears.

Of course, its fairly ambiguous since there isn't a "Devil's Tower" on
Banshee (though it looks kinda like one may be on the Windward Islands).
