Folklore 146: Compass, the Pathkeeper

Compass belonged to Emeraldis during the uncertain mapping of its settlements and roads.

No formal biography survived, yet the chosen name became its own account: a promise to orient, return, or help others do the same. The Pathkeeper appears in the record as an active citizen rather than an office-holder.

In a world where roads forgot where they led, even a name could be a civic service.
