Western Skyrim Codex - Antique Map of Western Skyrim
- A map of Western Skyrim, eh? Damned odd to find an ancient map that leaves out the holds east of Morthal. The cartographer probably worked as a caravaner--marking trade routes near Solitude's sphere of influence.
- The map clearly depicts a settlement near present-day Karthald. No great surprise, there. Reachmen and Nords have fought over that stretch of territory since time out of memory. Apparently, the tower is far older than I suspected!
- The question remains, just how old is this map? Based on the age of the vellum, I'd date it at 1E 400s. That might explain the conspicuous absence of Whiterun. The cartographer sought to write the hated king, Olaf One-Eye, out of the history books!
