Lead: CartographyDescription
601A grizzled diplomat, gout-ridden and embittered, retells the sins of his former colleagues. Arrogance, ambition, supposition and vainglory. How each now sits in a certain vineyard, where once every kingdom of the Presbyterate sent tribute.
602A former ambassador, with a feather in their cap and a fungal infection […] eating their leg, recounts their tour of duty in Arbor. Of the other kingdom that slipped into dream […] . Of the Satraps who emerged from there, and gave Her Roseate Splendour gifts. […]
603A bandaged tomb-colonist […] tells you of the lessons of Caution. […] bow low, but never too low. […] never be more than one seems.[…] to live forever is always a question. He does not need to mention how these lessons may come into conflict with the Presbyter's will.
