D&Dtools

A map of unseen lands is a boon to caravans of halfling pilgrims, who use it to avoid danger and make their way through the wilderness. While holding the map, you gain a +5 competence bonus on Knowledge (geography) and Survival checks if you are neutral good, lawful good, chaotic good, or neutral.

Relic Power: Once per day, if you have established the proper divine connection, you can command a map of unseen lands to spend 2 minutes redrawing itself. Doing so causes it to map the terrain within a 10-mile radius with total accuracy but only middling detail. This ability doesn't function underground.

When the redraw command is issued, the DM should spend no more than 2 minutes of real time sketching out a map, adding items from the following list in the given order of priority.

• General terrain features (mountains, rivers, and so forth), labeled if their names are widely known.
• Structures encompassing more than 5,000 square feet (castles, temples, and ruins), named either specifically ("Fortress of the Undying") or generally ("bardic college").
• Structures important for travel (bridges, dungeon entrances, and magic portals), labeled only if they are unusual in some respect.
• Lairs of creatures of CR 12 or higher, labeled by creature type only.

To use the relic power, you must worship Yondalla and either sacrifice a 5th-level divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat and at least 9 HD.

Lore: The first map of unseen lands was sketched out by Fharlanghn as a gift for Yondalla. Since then, she has occasionally occasionally given one to a large tribe of halflings intending to strike out for new territory (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).
