Cartographic Artifact Analysis Designation: Eldarion’s Personal Map Classification: Anachronistic / Non-Standard Survey
This map depicts forest coverage approximately 200% beyond current Imperial botanical surveys. It shows overland routes and pathways that have been officially decommissioned or naturally reclaimed for 50+ years. Contains river systems and watershed boundaries that do not align with contemporary geographical data.
Displays a linear, path-like formation traversing an oceanic region. This does not correspond to any known shipping lanes or current patterns, but bear superficial resemblance to theoretical tectonic plate boundaries debated in geological circles.
This suggests that either:
- Preservation of geographical knowledge from a pre Imperial ecological state, or
- Documentation of a parallel or alternate territorial configuration.
The artifact indicates the owner either possesses antiquated spatial knowledge or perceives/experiences geography through a fundamentally different paradigm than current Imperial standards.
The inclusion of the submarine “path” warrants particular attention, potentially reflecting either archaic sea lore or an unconventional understanding of geomorphology.
Further investigation required to determine if this represents cultural memory, temporal displacement, or perceptual anomaly.
