Description summary:
The description varies based on your level of Lead: Cartography.
Lead: Cartography | Description |
---|---|
620 | A monk of the Fourth City sought to chart the Elder Continent, and reports his findings to the Pope in this slim, verdrigris volume. The sad, squashed drawings tell their own story, though the Pope's acidic encyclical forms an epilogue all its own. |
621 | Circumventing the Presbyter's will, a Great House of Vesture produced its own map[…]. The Motherlings brought it to the Fourth City[…] a copy[…] resides in your library. Unfortunately,[…] the map was[…] concerned only with that which might concern a spider. |
622 | The Hidden Nation of Ossuary makes its maps of scrimshaw and ivory. It conceals them in psalters and breviaries, dedicated to the holy light of the Mountain. Within the bindings, you make out the borders of the Presbyterate, carved in pale bone. |
623 | […]to police a continent one requires a knowledge of its boundaries. A record[…]by an enterprising Third City radical who resented the monopoly on death, reveals an overlap between the Presbyterate of then and that of now[…]but not an entirely continuous one. |

Failure
Broken maps
The Neath, of course, is flat. And maps are forbidden […] Accurate representations are valuable contraband, […] these are neither. They are diplomatic gifts from the Presbyter, designed to inflate the reach of his arm, and obscure the extent of his realm.
