After drawing this sketch of Timuria, a region of Uzrak, I realized it had a weird scale. I started with the cities and a 1 mile per hex scale in my head. As I drew the wilderness, I unintentionally shifted scale and was thinking in 3 or even 6 mile hexes. The result is a map has a kind of primitive cartographic scale, where more important things are larger. This is how mistakes become cool features!

| of Order | The avatar challenges parties with logic (in riddle form) and pounces on those who cannot answer; assuming their minds are tainted by Chaos. | |
