Blackwood Codex - Antique Map of Blackwood

• Gabrielle Benele This is a map of the Blackwood region. The parchment is worn, but it is still detailed, especially along the coast. There is something strange here, though I can't put my finger on it. Still, the map shows caves even I've forgotten about!
• Regius Buca What strikes me about this map is that the lines appear to have been drawn in squid ink. See how it faded to brown, like the parchment, rather than gray or black? The use of squid ink suggests a sailing vessel rather than a cartographer's shop.
• Ugron gro-Thumog Regius is right about this map, the focus on waterways shows a sailor's eye. See how the Snake Tail River opens into marshlands instead of carrying on to the Niben itself? That might date the map between the flood of 2E 218 and the Crow's Storm of 2E 255.
