🕑 Added 2025-10-30 17:58:29 +0000 UTCIn the main chamber, the secessionist leaders had already begun their meeting. Angry voices, loud and emboldened by their secret location, echoed into the rafters above. Traitors, the lot of them.
Her Catfolk ears heard them minutes before she even scaled the ruined walls, entering through a hole in the roof. Quickly and quietly, on all fours, she flitted from one cracked beam to the next until she found the perfect observation point above.
From her satchel she took out a piece of parchment, her quill, and her tiny ink vial to begin inscribing the narrative she heard, every damning statement uttered from their treasonous mouths. Plots to overthrow the High Council, plans for recruitment, even their preferred targets and the signal to begin. But... her duties were not done yet.
She continued pushing forward with agile speed and grace, testing each board and beam before crossing, positioning herself for a clear view of their faces with her feline eyes. Quickly, she brought out fresh parchment and her charcoal rod and began to make likenesses. In her frenzied drawings, the rod split in two. Her heart stopped as the fractured piece of debris fell towards those she spied upon, her concealment in danger. barely in time, her tail swept down and knocked it far across the room.
The separatists hushed themselves at the noise at the far end of the cloister, but from second after heart pounding second, she saw that not one of them looked up. They investigated the corner where the clatter was heard, and after satisfying their belief that they were alone, they resumed their plotting.
As quickly and as carefully as she could, she drew their likenesses on parchment with the remaining charcoal rod, and made her way out of the rafters to report her findings to the Council. There would be a great confrontation in the days to come, as some of those present were allies of the Council themselves. She pitied them, for there would be suffering. She would see none of it, though, as after her payment was given she would return to the ancestral forests, leaving this world behind.

Really love this map but I wish the rafters+shadows were available as a separate layer
