Vintage sepia fantasy map and illustrated guide for The Man with Four Shadows: Tales of the Wandering Mists – Book 2. An ornate Victorian-style border surrounds a hand-drawn map centered on the walled city of Atavi Cerno, nestled among mountain ranges and winding rivers. Decorative compass roses, castles, ships, clouds, and a moon reinforce the antique steampunk and magical cartography aesthetic.
