MAPPA MUNDI Southeast — Africa & Ethiopia
The Burning Lands
Ethiopia · Meroe · Egypt (Alexandria) · Carthage
Africa stretches across the lower-right quadrant. Ethiopia is a land of wonders — the Monoceros charges through forests, Troglodytes live in caves and outrun horses, and the Basilisk kills with its eyes. Egypt is marked by pyramids described as 'Joseph's granaries.' The Nile flows from mysterious southern sources through cataracts and crocodile-filled waters.
INHABITANTS & CREATURES
• The Monoceros (unicorn), fierce and untameable
• Troglodytes — cave-dwelling people swift as horses
• Basilisks whose gaze brings death
"Africa, the third part of the world, named for Afer, descendant of Abraham."
