Maps are maps, but they can conceal more than borders. An old map of the eastern kingdoms might hide a dragon’s trail in the same way a supply line can be disguised as a harmless ridge. In the days of General Aurelian, commanders would use a serpentine route to keep an eye on the enemy while still keeping the road open. If a dragon once trekked those hills, the path would have left subtle marks – a scar in the soil, a shift in the stonework – that a careful surveyor could pick up. So yes, those old maps could hold secrets, but you’ll need a clear eye and a methodical approach to find them.

You can trace the lines, but think of it as reconnaissance rather than a spell. By marking each ridge with your finger, you create a map of potential movement—exactly what General Balthasar did when he plotted an ambush along the ridge line. If a hidden path exists, the pressure points will show up as slight depressions or uneven stone. So treat it as a tactical exercise, not a mystical ritual.

Keep your pace even, mark each stone like a waypoint. A dragon's trail will leave a subtle depression or a line of worn stones—just as a supply line shows where the troops have been. Stay alert and treat every dip as a potential signal.
