    Map House in the Emerald Valley (3 Variations)

    "Within a serene valley, atop an emerald hill,
    A dōjō rests in glory, training youths in martial skill.
    Behold the humble teacher, whose worthy crown 's white with age.
    Fear the deft-handed students; fervent spirits, bound up rage!"

    This is sort of a step-by-step and three final maps at once.

    What do you think? Would you train in the ancient Oriental Martial Arts in this pleasant valley? Could you hone your skills to over come the obstacles that stand between the Training Yard and the Dragon Summit?

    Really good map Elderly Cartogrpher. Is there a dragon under the tree in the bottom left of the map? If so, I would not like to go train myself in this dojo! )

    Thanks!

    It is a dragon wrapped around an Emerald. The water color makes it hard to see. It supposed to be a compass... loosely.

    But a legend must start somewhere. Who's to say dragons do not inhabit the area?
