Title: Geography of Sosaria
Author: Gideon of Moonglow
We once believed the
stone maps, relics of
some ancient people, were
wrong. The distances and
shapes and positions did
not match the world we
had measured, and in our
arrogance, we did not
consider the movement of
time. We were the ones
who were wrong. The
world changes, and even
the most sturdy mountain
is drifting on a sea of
molten lava. We once
believed this was all too
slow to bother our work.
Of course our maps would
be good for ten thousand
years! Then the
Shattering happened, and
the world changed again,
powerful sorcery tore
apart coasts and smashing
mountains together.
When a map is drawn, it traps a moment in time. The world moves on from that moment. Cities fall, islands sink, mountains rise. Take nothing for granted.
Here are several maps I have copied from other sources that show some of the profound changes to our geography. I have also provided a key which the symbols and notations I could decipher.
