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

| 520 | The Mithridate Office sends a dissertation in response to your page of questions. It concerns the bonds of the Presbyter and the bounds of the Presbyterate. The thesis ably suggests that, at least in the eyes of the Office, the two are continuous. |

| 522 | A reply comes, ringed in roses, penned by the hand of Her Roseate Splendour herself. "These are good questions," she writes, about what lay on the soil where Arbor now half-stands. "But not wise ones." |
| 523 | The Office sends a helpfully annotated map, with all seventy seven names and kingdoms present and correct. It is accompanied by a note. "THIS IS WHAT THE PRESTER SAITH." |
