An elegant, aged-looking map printed by the shop to appear like a treasure hunter's find.

When consulted, the map casts subtle illusions of additional landmarks. The map's seeming guidance imposes a -2 penalty to Wisdom (Survival) checks for the next 24 hours if the buyer relies solely on it.

A colorful paper map with ornate border and several fanciful 'X' marks. Clearly made to impress tourists.

A heavy vellum map sealed with wax and annotated in a careful hand. The packet includes notes about guards and hidden doors.

When spread on a surface and studied for 10 minutes, the map highlights one safe route to the marked site, granting a bonus to Survival checks related to navigation for up to four hours. The map is single-use in this regard; after use it fades but still shows static topography.

Shop Atmosphere

The shop smells of ink, tar, and old parchment. The proprietor loudly extols every map as 'hand-verified by sea captains' while winking at the buyer. He offers a 'verification service' for a small fee and will happily trade in apparent 'authentic' maps for more lucrative counterfeits. He always keeps a live parrot named Ledger that mimics customers who ask obvious questions.
