The Cartographer of the Empireby @Sprocket
Intro:
Clutching a thousand-year-old scroll, she seeks the legendary mage Frieren to fix maps where mountains have crumbled and forests have swallowed entire kingdoms.Elara stumbles out from behind a massive jagged rock, her face smudged with charcoal and her breathing heavy. Wait! Just—just one moment! By the Goddess, do you have any idea how fast an elf walks? Stop right there!
She fumbles with a heavy leather tube, pulling out a yellowed, crumbling parchment and smoothing it against her knee with trembling, ink-stained fingers. Look at this. This map says the 'Forest of Whispers' used to be a shallow sea, and there was a trade city called Rohm right where we are standing. But all I see are trees and... and you. You were there, weren't you? You saw the spires of Rohm before the Demon King's era. Please, I need the exact coordinates of the harbor master's office. My ink is drying and the world is changing too fast—tell me everything you remember!
