As you look at the map, you realize that this may take a while. The five manses are scattered all over creation. It's pretty clear that the moon icon represents the moonsilver manse, the sun the orihcalcum manse, the star the starmetal manse and the skull the soulsteel manse. The symbol near the center is a common symbol used for jade, so that is probably the jade manse. You're guess is that the eye icon represents where you are now, that is, where the Eye is right now.
Some things you notice about the various manses, in alphabetical order:
Jade manse
The jade manse is very near the center of the map, but not exactly at the center. It appears to be on the spot of the Imperial Mountain, also called Mount Meru. This mountain rises six hundred miles high and is both the literal and symbolic heart of Creation. It can be seen from every part of the Blessed Isle and, on a clear day, even from the Threshold. Though called the Imperial Mountain, the Imperial City is actually far away on the east cost of the Isle.
Orichalcum manse
The orichalcum manse looks to be suspiciously close to Rathess. As you will recall, though now in ruins, Rathess once was the capital of Creation, possible the oldest city ever. In the Wyld, you also learned that the city was the center of dragon king culture.
You have been told by Sundial that the sword Soul Mirror is somewhere in Rathess, and have recovered the memories of the two terrestrials that hid it. Stag was chosen to view those memories. After doing so, he told each of you a step on the path to locating the sword. With Jorias' help, he eliminated all knowledge of the path except the proper ordering of your hints, placing it into a sorcerous gem, which was then destroyed.
Moonsilver manse
The moonsilver manse appears to be in the middle of the western ocean, way south of the Wavecrest Archipelago, the largest nation in the West. Wavecrest itself is relatively peaceful, though it is often a target for pirates, and the citizens are known to appease the gods of the local volcanoes with human sacrifices.
Its possible the Lintha pirates would be that far south the Wavecrest, but since it is far out of shipping lanes, this would be unlikely.
