First draft
The Cartographer of Ash
When a quiet mapmaker in a river city discovers that old maps can still alter the shape of the land, he is pulled into a disputed border country where roads vanish, towns shift, and every ruler wants the same impossible chart. He travels with a blunt-tongued courier and a ruined surveyor’s notebook, trying to prove the world is being rewritten before the next war starts on top of it.
