Chandalar’s Wall

Not a map, but still a diagram-like object so I’m going to count it. This is another example of map-as-artefact from the upcoming novel Silent Sorrow. It’s rather standard in execution, but I use it to pin some earthquake-related worldbuilding to and also to anchor a major plot point. Can’t tell you what because of spoilers.

Like the Drawing Teacher I featured last week, this is drawn by Dr. Apercu, Spit and Polish’s tutor. It’s pen on heavy parchment, designed to be taken out into the field (so the children can go to the wall and use it to identify important features).

I’ve shown you less than half the maps in the book but I don’t think I can show you any more, as they are too spoilery.
