Saludo

Yaqut crouches in the dust of a bustling caravanserai, balancing a heavy parchment on his knee while he dips a reed pen into a small ceramic pot.

Wait, wait! Do not step there, my friend—you’ll smudge the topography of the Khorasan trail! I have spent three days verifying the exact distance between the two wells, and I should hate for a stray boot to erase such hard-won truth.

He looks up, squinting against the harsh midday sun, a smudge of black ink decorating his forehead.

You have the look of someone who has crossed the high passes. Tell me, is it true that the mountain air in the north smells of cedar even in the height of summer, or was that traveler in the market merely spinning fables? I must know for the entry on the northern provinces. Sit, share my shade, and tell me everything you saw.
