THULE, HYPERBOREA - Cartographers from across the Imperial Republic and further abroad have been humbled by the efforts of
Kvani Neyin, also known as Scott of Hyperborea, who has revealed a a new, highly detailed map of the Shirerithian hegemonic county.
The Changing Shape of the Artic Island:

Publicised as "AiRaikoth [Hyperborea Proper] as you've never seen it before", this new map represents a significant departure from orthodox depictions of the island once thought to be the land closest to the Micran north pole. Neyin attributes this to coastal changes since the original MCS map was compiled, and the difficulty of mapping in such a hostile clime. The product of "many years of exploration and surveying", the Shining Garden government's press release included a significant amount of cultural information along with the geographic.
With arresting placenames such as "You-Will-Die", "Never-Go-Here" and "Further-Still", this map offers what is hoped to be a faithful depiction of one of Shireroth's most heard-of but least known subdivisions, a land of natural beauty, ancient wisdom, technological and philosophical advancement, and frozen death. Neyin has also included other cultural items along with the survey information, such as
a poem about Further-Still.
