An Old Map

[Robin Drake 731]

You cough as you move the old frail books from the bookcase in the library of the cloud temple. The dust falling from the shelves as you stack the books. Your eyes strain trying to read the faded writing along the spine of the book in your grasp, "It's tattered cover has certainly seen better days." you think to yourself as you rub your eyes. Your furrowed brow accenting the wrinkles upon your forehead. 

 

As you continue the laborious task of sorting through the bookcase you notice a single scroll behind a row of old books. Hidden or forgotten, it matters not anymore as you extend your hand towards it. A thick layer of dust coating the top side of the scroll suggests it has been lying long undisturbed. "Careful now" you mutter under your breath as you gently pick up the scroll. The parchment is damaged to your surprise and not just from the passage of time. You opt to return to a table where you can get a better look at it, underneath the dim flickers of your reading candle. Curiously you remove the string which has kept it bound, as you unfurl it and smooth it over the table. Your eyes light up as you look down upon what you have discovered.

 

 

"By my beard, what have I uncovered!" You gasp as you look upon the map with great interest, your eyes browsing over it's noted landmarks. You recognize them from various other books that you have read, that were housed in the library. Old books, of a land lost to corruption and death. 

 

You carefully roll the scroll back up into it's original form and rebind the string. It looks even more frail than it did previous. You opt to give the newly uncovered map to a monk so that it can be copied by a scribe and then put somewhere safe. You nod to yourself in approval for thinking of such an action as you rise from the bench and wander through the library looking for a monk...

 

 

 

(To clear up any future uncertainties, this is definitely not the new map. This is a Map of the Northern region of Aegis where the Humans lived)

((Hmm, so am I right to say that this is the map for the new 4.0 map? I'm probably wrong but it looks that way!))

*A tall man can be seen sitting in the cloud temple, regretting that he had been overcome by an odd sensation to give the obviously priceless artifact to a fumbling monk, when he could have slipped it into his pocket and made a sweet fortune off it instead....

Elder Monk Vallei moves throughout the cloud-Temple wondering as he moves within the library to continue his daily studies to progress himself, even though he has read every book at least seven times. Wondering throughout it, he would notice the man/women looking through some old books near the back-end section though he chose not to bother him since he/she looked quite important. Vallei sits by the chair next to the window pulling out a book and reading it, the title being "The great life of Mina".

"This place.... Oh the memories..."

(( I knew instantly that that was a map of Aegis. I should know because I'm still rebuilding the bloody place in single-player... ))

((If someone built a town as square as snowy fields nowadays they'd probably get burnt at the stake.

((Hey, it was beautiful in it's own special way

((The walls were square but the buildings inside it actually looked pretty nice. But yeah, those walls would be basically considered landscarring now).
