Chapter 13

Zareth closed his nictitating membranes as a gust of wind sent sand flying into his face. He carefully shielded the map in front of him so it didn’t get damaged or fly off into the distance.

Once the gust subsided, he let out a huff of annoyance and carefully drank from his waterskin as he returned to studying the map.

It had barely taken a month after the Desharin agreed to help him find the lost temple of Meldorath for them to successfully narrow down its location, which was honestly absurd. Considering how large the Qahtani Desert was, it would have taken most people years to accomplish the same task, if they succeeded in doing so at all. The fact that the Desharin had done it in so little time implied to Zareth that they’d already had a good idea where to go looking.

Given how incredibly detailed their map was, Zareth was even more confident that his assumption was correct. Even in a world with magic and System-enhanced [Cartographers], most maps in this world were still far worse in quality than the ones back on Earth. Proportions were often inconsistent, with landmarks misplaced or omitted entirely, and details became more ambiguous the farther away from Tal’Qamar you looked.

One of the first things that Zareth had done after he stopped being dirt poor was try to acquire a map of the world and its various continents, the results of which had been… disappointing. Most maps agreed that there were five continents in the world, but each of them was different in size, shape, and relative location.

The map provided by the Desharin was no different in that regard, but its depiction of the region around Tal’Qamar was exceptional.

I wonder if they’ll agree to sell this to me once we return to the city…

Their expedition was taking a short break in their journey while the Desharin guide went to search the route ahead as the sun slowly rose over the horizon. Zareth was glad that the guide was so thorough in their duties, as it gave him plenty of time to prepare for the next section of their journey.

Since Zareth was currently surrounded by many people who’d seen far more of the world than he had, namely the Desharin, the Adventurer group he’d hired, and Rizok, he would be a fool to let this sort of opportunity go. His conversation with Farida had neatly highlighted that Zareth needed to learn more about the world around him if he was going to be involved with politics.

Now that he had a map in front of him, so many things were starting to make sense…

The Qahtani Desert was actually far larger than Zareth had ever known, taking up nearly a third of the continent of Valandor. It stretched from the Sapphire Sea in the south to the large mountain range known as the Talon of Qahtan in the north. The deadly monsters living in the sea and the impassable mountains meant that the Qahtani Desert neatly separated the eastern and western portions of Valandor, which honestly explained a lot.
