The world calls to you in blank parchment and jagged coastlines. You chart the unknown, turn wilderness into maps, and stories into inked paths. Your work shapes how others understand the land and sometimes, how they claim it.
Did you map battlefields or lost ruins? Have your maps ever led someone to treasure – or disaster? What part of the world do you still long to chart?

- Backround Knowledge. Your compass always tells the direction of true north. You have advantage on ability checks related to maps, knowledge of geography and different terrain, and navigating with your map.
- Lay of the Land. During a short or long rest, you can map a region perfectly after you’ve observed it from a distance before. You can produce a hand-drawn tactical map granting a 1d8 bonus to any of your allies’ Survival or Investigation checks related to terrain, navigation, or tracking.
