Map Master's Association & Post

The Map Master's Association & Post or M.M.A.P (MAP) as its referred to. Is a Massive international guild specialising in adventurers. Their culture pushes members to not only cross the borders of nations but cross into other planes to seek adventure, Exploration and most importantly, To catalogue your adventures and bring them back to share in the Guild.

The Guild started as a humble group of explores wanting to draw out the lands for others to see and over the years would expand into the household name it has become.
Cartography has mostly fallen to the way side as the world is running low on new land yet to be marked down. But The Guild masters were smart. Tough map making has become less and less needed. People to journey and explore those maps has exploded in popularity and as connections are made through out the world, a new age of guides, travel and postage begins.

The Guild is known as possibly the largest for adventurers. With several branch groups coming under is banner. The Guild offers solid, consistent work to those who want it as well as forging connections with leaders and governments. Keeping their ears to the floor for new dungeons, new monsters and other adventures to be undertaken. Many adventures work as couriers. Taking desired packages from one spot to the other. Although its not as exciting as a quest to save the kingdom it lets adventures do what they do best while getting a guaranteed pay check at the end, Leaving them in a new location where they may find new stories to uncover.

As people explored maps were made. Cartographers are an odd breed of personalities, Sturdy enough to brave some of the most harsh environments while also introverted enough to seek the wilderness over busy streets.

The Association has been around for thousands of years in varying capacities.

From its initial creation to the varies booms of cartography when new lands were discovered the group has managed to stay productive thanks to forward thinking. dipping into the postal service in several locations.

With several members constantly surveying the land for changes and alterations the maps sold by the association are the most current correct maps on the market.

They offer everything from large world maps, Regional maps, Cave systems, Dungeons to more distinguished maps with different binding, higher quality materials or frames and even various magic maps such as Living Tapestry.

Postage Era
Though the world of Felwind is filled with Arcane magic able to send and receive messages and items almost instantly, these options are not available to most citizens. Reserved for spellcasters of appropriate expertise.
As the world became more and more defined those charting maps had less and less work. The Guild saw this eventuality and so began taking steps to start up other services. One of them being a postage service.

Though it was the progenitor of the Guild, Map Masters are the smallest section of MMAP, But not lacking in skill and power. Many members of this section are veteran explorers holding their own personal secrets in the world. Aside from recon and updating maps they act as guides to customers looking for something much harder to locate.
