The Measurelands are a broad Ledgerkin homeland built around rivers, roads, workshops, and carefully managed farmland. Dense urban districts cluster near waterways, while villages, quarry camps, and caravan stations extend into wooded hills and open basin country. Every community depends on contracts, maintenance, and practical cooperation, yet old rivalries divide guilds, councils, and frontier families. Beneath this orderly landscape lie forgotten works whose makers may have understood ownership as a force more literal than law.
