Description summary:
The description varies based on your value of Airs of the Confounded Traveler.

AirsDescription
1 - 9A map of the nearest kingdoms of the Elder Continent: Huz and Apis Meet, Skite and Arbor. A second, much larger map folded very small, has been stuck onto the first map, joining it at the location of the City of Roses.
10 - 19This map is black and white and latticed like a gameboard. Only one name is scored into it. The Principalities of Coral.
20 - 29A map entitled the 'Labyrinth of Tigers.' It is mostly shredded.
30 - 39This weathered map is blackened with brine and hardened with salt. It depicts locations like lost stars, drowning in an inky firmament. Anthe, Aigul, Dahut, Hideaway, Low Barnet, Rosegate, Scrimshander, Wrack, Nidah.
40 - 49This map is drawn with ink on tablets of white marble. It depicts a vast heart, heavily fissured. It is titled only 'the by-ways of a broken king.'
50 - 59A map of Old London. Every name has been scorched out in blackened cinders. Pieces are missing, and fingerprints score the paper, like the imprints of believers upon a prayerbook.
60 - 69This is a map of Irem. It does not exist. This is not a map of Irem.
70 - 79A detailed map of the interior of a steamship, gleaming in gold and silver. This is a great dreadnought, sketched by one within its brig. Perhaps the Traveller was once a prisoner.
80 - 89A map of the Unterzee. It is a jigsaw. Each piece has several possible combinations with those around it. It is damaged, as though flung in frustration.
90 - 99A map of the Heavens. […] highly theoretical and likely to make Copernicus achieve orbit within his grave. The maker has continued their work on the back, before apparently giving up. […] traces of scorch marks running through the map like a lattice.
100A map of Hell; its white walls and paler towers; the fortresses of the heroes of the Season, the manses of the worthy, […]. Here, the law furnaces which warp the paper of the map. […] The interior of Hell is blank, having resisted all penstrokes.
