Maps
Maps help readers understand place, relation, and route inside Vaelinya.
A map can show boundary, nearness, distance, and how one place affects another. It helps the world feel travelled rather than abstract.
Map access rule
Maps must also be understandable as text
Vaelinya maps may become illustrated later, but every important map must have a readable route description so blind, partially sighted, and text-only readers can still follow the world.
