The Lay of the Land

This small little hole in the wall is an important part of Bloodhelm. A single story building made of wood and a little river rock, baring two windows (so as not to destroy the paper inside with unnecessary light), and a little slanted roof this plain building houses more knowledge then some libraries. Inside the owner, Thesan Happlepane, works his magic with inks and paper. This small, eccentric man was an explorer in his youth and loved maps to boot. Where ever he went, a map was sure to follow. He has ancient maps, new maps, and even maps of parts of the world no one dare explore. He loves to talk about each one as if they are a child, since he hand draws and paints each one.

Maps can be found on simple parchment to vellum, and even hide, if ordered in such a way. But they all come with a price. Thesan only has two apprentices, two grandchildren, who he trusts to do as good as work as he does, so maps take time. Depending on the area, maps begin at 10 gold ducats and skyrocket from there. If some one brings him a map he has never seen before he will be willing to copy it for free if he can keep a copy for himself.

Thesan is not intimidated by rich people and actually prefers adventurers like himself, often giving them as good as a deal as he can.
