On the Strictness of a Craft

In that Kingdom, the Art of Map-Making became so Good that a map of one County took up a whole Town, and a map of the Kingdom took up a whole County. In time, even these Great Maps were found lacking and so the Map-Makers Guild made a Map of the Kingdom that was every bit as big as the Kindom and matched it Point for Point. Not so Keen on the Craft of Map-Making, their Children’s Children saw that this huge Map was Useless and not without Uncaring they left it to the Harshness of the Sun and the Winters. In the barrens of the West lay torn Ruins of the Map, where lived Beasts and Beggars; in the whole Country there is no other Heirloom of the Map-Making Craft.
