![“Folk like to pretend they know everything about the world. Rich folk especially. Maps are great for that. [...] You don't have blanks on your map, so the folks who draw them shade in a piece and write, 'The Eld.' You might as well burn a hole right through the map for what good that does.” quote by Patrick Rothfuss](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/267/patrick-rothfuss-145_cartography_folk-like-to-pretend-they-know-everythin_2205937.jpg)
