The Map

The Map is a sentient legendary artifact whose origin in the universe is unknown. It is part of a series of legendary items called The Philosopher's Library, including The Chart, The Dictionary, The Scroll, The Encyclopedia and The Compendium. The Map is known for its overly cheery disposition, passive-aggressive behavior, and above-average intelligence. It has an ego score of 4, making it incredibly compelling but incapable of overwhelming its user. The Map featured as a player character in Episode One, Season Two and as a non-player character in Eon: The Frozen Fates (Spring 2009) and Eon: The Throne of Discord (Fall 2009). It was also briefly encountered in Eon: Legends of the Ages (Summer 2009).
Up until its discovery by the party in Season Five, The Map did not know what it was, though it does remember someone trying to destroy it in frustration and failing. It has no eyes, and therefore can only be updated by telling it what geographical changes have taken place since what it last knows. While the party does not know precisely what era The Map primarily displays, they have learned that it predates the founding of Baldur and the fall of Eldergrin. Consequently, they often need to give it landmarks that no longer exist as reference points. The Map also has knowledge of local customs and tourist industries of various cities, though this knowledge is also several centuries old. The Map can be communicated with telepathically.
