Point at the Mistbanks the map had said in backward letters and backward words. Hadama had little time to ponder over it during LongNight on account of the owlbear, but when the sun and stars returned he had taken his guesses and swam to the skyport.
Perhaps the map's instructions meant to stand in the center of the indicated island and point the map towards the Mistbanks? So he had borrowed a map of old Caido and one of new from a skyship captain and checked the island shown on the kraken's map against those on the world maps.
In his experience and to his eye, none quite matched the shape and nearby landmasses shown, either before or after the War.
He had returned the borrowed maps and sent a note toRay, asking to travel together to the Oerwoud. Perhaps the X on the map indicated a point, or place, within the Mistbanks? One of Rae's Fingers was rumored to lead there, but it sounded like a place one could get easily lost if separated. Still, it would be a good opportunity to make an offering to the Flowerbirth deity even if they had no luck with the map.
