Map- Stephen draws for Maius a crude map of the the forest trails Randal liked to use. He includes the hunting lodge Randal mentioned, as well as the ruined city on the northwestern end of the valley, but the focus of his map are two sets of ruins on the eastern side. "These ones," he explains, pointing at the southernmost ruins to the east, "have been picked pretty clean, but that's where my Uncle always take people. They're safe. These ones, though," pointing to the northeastern ruins, "might still have some secrets left. Maybe. This is where I was going to take us."

Background Motivation
Maius never knew his family. His only memories from youth were either in an orphanage or a temporary home. Despite this, he always maintained a positive outlook on his circumstances.

He briefly considered thievery as a profession when he was younger, but one too many times getting caught attempting to pick strangers pockets (and the very real threat of losing a hand) changed his mind.

During his stays at the local “lock and key” inns, he began to realize his true potential as a wordsmith. He was easily able to win the favor of guards and prisoners with just a simple performance retelling the escapades from his youth.

He spends his days now travelling in search of new adventure. Not for the fame or fortune but for the experience and knowledge. His recollections of which can inspire or confound everyone he meets.
