Field notes
The page frames mapping as both navigation and information control: Hirabai, a 32-year-old royal mapmaker, decides which pages of her notes others may read, including the Sultan. A sample report places her 412 kilometers southeast of the palace on the nineteenth day of the rains, and says two bridges are missing from the palace map. The route sample itself connects three named stops; the full game is listed for release in August 2027.
