"She was beautiful, sophisticated, and had a free-spirited nature that rejected superstition." — Pietro Bembo's description of Lucrezia Borgia in a letter, included in the book 'The Life and Times of Lucrezia Borgia' (by Maria Bellonci)
Elethea only knows how maps work in an Academic sense. She's very good at geography, of course, it's one of the things that was hammered into her, but actually navigating a map in practice during the Blight is something of a pitfall for her. A lot of aspects of applying her academic knowledge into real-life skills are challenging for her.
