Tsira's Maps

At her desk again, Tsira fiddles with ink and parchment.

"This is a violation of so many laws. How the hell can they send me to unscouted territory and then 'forget' to assign me a bloody cartographer?! It's been 14 years since I was with the Imperial Rangers... my old squad would be laughing their asses off if they could see me now. Hell, my children would be laughing too if they didn't already think I was dead.

She chuckles at her memories, but quickly gets to work. The Kamatayan daylight burns quickly, after all.

After calling a meeting in the great hall, Tsira lays out a crude map of the known area.




"We've got plenty of offensive capability, and we're housing nearly as many adventurers as we do stewards. However, we can't survive off of swords and armor, so we are going to have to establish contact with some of the Kamatayan locals.

Bhjurba's Den is our only viable contact, and it lies in the southwestern desert. It's indicated by the brown mark on this map. It should be easy to spot, as it is the only major settlement in this whole region. They call it a city, but it's a glorified camp of wealthy slave traders. Since we are running out of food, we don't have the luxury to punish them for their crimes.

To the southwest there's a forest. Traveling through the hills is not worth the risk nor the wasted time, so our best option is to enter through the river basin indicated by the green mark. If there any settlements within the forest they will be near that small river.

The much larger river to our north is only narrow enough to pass at a certain point to our northwest, which is indicated by the blue mark. That river is the only safe route to the interior of the continent, as well as being the only way to scout the northern lands without a ship.

For now I will draft up my plan on what our first actions will be. I suggest you see that you are fit for duty. The Kamatayan is not a friendly place, so be prepared for the worst. If you need anything from me, my door is open."

After speaking, she rolls up her map and makes her way back to her chambers finalize her plans.
