Description summary:
The description varies based on your level of Lead: Cartography.

Lead: CartographyDescription
421A study […] suggests the areas most in need of an updated examination. The lands south of Jericho; the Brigade's territories […], the canals that turn south of the gates. You compile a plaintive monogram and wait for someone else to take up the work.
422A careful exchange with a Marigold Knight gains results. She agrees to take a survey as she seeks out a […] candle in the Lilymire. As you recover her remains and pour the effluvia of marshy wax […] you uncover her notes: comprehensive, albeit waterlogged.
423You permit an entourage of infernal academics [...]. The conversation is precise [...], but you learn three germane facts: Hell has leased much of the land to its east, that it does not expect them back, and [...] some of that which has moved in frightens them [...]
424Hell's holdfasts require visitation rights [...]. A week's tour of the abandoned walls east of Hell [...] and the mirror-maze on its flank is instructive and dreadful. Their mouldering condition, however, suggests a certain complacency creeping in.
