A Map Worth Fifteen Gold

Depicted moment

Rage boisterously occupies Lady Watcher’s sons at their corner table in the Blue Water Inn while Carver, hidden behind his towering companion, uses Rage’s back as a writing surface for a false treasure map. The brothers’ purse and coins foreshadow the fifteen-gold sale.

Artistic interpretation

The illustration compresses the preparation and sale of the map into one readable tableau. Carver’s amber artificer magic, the visible design of the map, the brothers’ appearances, and the exact placement of the coins are interpretive staging.

Canonical status

This is canonical Session 25 art. It establishes no names or additional identities for Lady Watcher’s sons. Rage’s distraction and Carver’s false map reflect the table-established con; the image does not establish that the brothers ever saw Carver creating it.

In the candlelit taproom of the Blue Water Inn, the towering, fur-cloaked Rage laughs and gestures toward two dark-haired young men seated at a corner table. Hidden behind Rage’s broad back, the catlike artificer Carver holds a parchment against him and secretly traces a glowing treasure route and X onto it. Mugs, a coin purse, and scattered gold sit before the fascinated brothers.
