This parchment was said to be drawn by traveling monks who followed the winding roads of Hanura, a coastal kingdom where pine-covered hills met the sea. The roads painted in soft gold were not mere trade routes but pilgrim paths, connecting temples hidden in forests. Travelers believed following these paths brought blessings, though few ever made it past the misty mountains.

Colored in faded pastels, each shade marks a warlord’s domain within the fractured empire of Erydon.

This map, titled 'The Sovereigns of Terrastria,' is a highly detailed and politically charged document from a later, more civilized era. It wasn't created by an explorer charting new lands, but by a royal cartographer commissioned to create a definitive record of the realm's political landscape
