Mundane, Magocrat & Mapmaker

Excerpts from a Kafthean novel about Marrishland.

The stories in this book all play with the stereotypes of the mapmaker, the mundane, and the magocrat — stock characters of Mar comedy. Most of the events in the early stories are completely unbelieveable for anyone even remotely familiar with Mar history, being more like Mar jokes disguised as a story by a Kafthean trying to be a native Mar.

The Adventures of Reur

The continuing story of Reur, the first mapmaker.

It is a actually a collection of shorter stories that have been arranged chronologically into a saga. It is an example of the Mar mapmaker tradition — any story about the adventures of a reckless and foolish explorer who survives trials through a combination of cleverness, stubborness, and dumb luck.
