I have dined with members of the Imperial Elder Council and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such an ostentatious display of needless pompery. This chart is made of treated sea-silks! Every detail is made up of pearls of varying sizes, the largest of which is no bigger than a fingernail.
Ostentatious, yes, but made with an eye towards function as well. These pearls at first seem to outline nothing. But exploratory tests show that sea water splashed against the chart shift them to form coastlines and passable seaways. Ingenious!
The depth of knowledge the Sea Elves have imbued in this artifact is astonishing. Unfortunately, other than identifying what appears to be a sea serpent breeding ground off the coast of Summerset, we lack the knowledge and understanding to fully understand what lies within.
