Smiling and nodding, Ashalia excused herself for a brief moment, going upstairs and down again and returning with two maps: the first one showed Cormyr, a natural delineating for a map not only for political reasons but because the nation was bordered by sea on the south side and mountain ranges the rest of the way around. The second map was larger-scale, of the environs of Eveningstar, showing the Starwater running up into the Stormhorns to the town's north, the King's Forest to its more immediate south, and the east-west road through Eveningstar which ran to the (just-off-the-map) High Horn fortress to the west and the larger city of Arabel to the east.
