Unfounded Kingdom Map - Isle of Grain, Londinium
A completed map of the Isle of Grain that includes detailed descriptions of the harbor, market areas, train stations, and train route. A general map can be found in the town on the Isle of Grain or via Britain Royal News. However, Scribe Sayha included the detailed train route that was not before drawn out thanks to borrowing a map from a Lander Map Keeper. Having this map in your inventory gives your minimap interface the map data stored on it.

Explanation: This is part 1 of my plan to make individual maps of each of the areas as the only maps currently available are the London Area map (which is very general) and the Half-Gaia Map. This is also in conjunction with the train activity that is currently going on; adventurers will be able to tell where all the train stations are looking at the map as well as the train route that it will take. Sayha did the initial sketch in this thread which is currently ongoing, but the thread above takes place after that thread.

Approved with modifications as a Site Catalogue Map. In order to reduce the need to research more maps of specific areas, I modified how the map system works.

Here is a description of the Site Catalogue Map:

Map, Site Catalogue
Materials Required: 1 Parchment Paper or existing [Map, Site Catalogue]
Posts Required: 2
Requirement: Level 1 Scribe, [Quill Pen] in crafter's inventory
If the Half-Gaia Map works as an overall compilation of maps and a generalized district map shows the lay of the land, then a map of a specific location works like a catalogue that describes major landmarks and areas. Having this map in your inventory gives your minimap interface the map data stored on it. For example, Scribe Sayha's Isle of Grain map includes detailed descriptions of the harbor, market areas, train stations, and the detailed train route that was not before drawn out on any prior maps. After a character obtains this item, they may spend 3 posts scouting a specific location (2 posts if they are a Scribe, Pathfinder, or Courier). The character may then update their own Site Catalogue with information on the new area.

A Scribe needs to first spend 2 posts to make the Catalogue. Then anyone with the item may spend 2-3 posts surveying the specific subforum and updating their map. So someone with an Isle of Grain map may have a description like:

Suppose you spend more posts to unlock Windsor Greatwood? You can update your map by replying to your profile with an updated description. Continue on until you collect all the areas, perhaps?
