MAP OF THE KNOWN WORLD
The only known map of Almandas to include detail of Diuhldor, found among the journals of Vardic scholar Vincent Manuelok and dated 1639 p.e.f. Professor Manuelok's notes identify two ruins within the ancient forest referred to by the orcs as "Fehltnor." Each ruin is near what appears to be mountains that experienced internal immolation. Manuelok labeled these Old Vardesh and Old Drakkar, as he claimed these were the names used by the primitive clans of orcs.
​
This burned fragment of the map was found in a partially burned leather journal was discovered near the far Western North border of the Wall in 1736 during the Kaelek Rebellion.
​
Any work attributed to Vincent Manuelok must, of course, be considered with skepticism given the circumstances of his disappearance.
