The Citadel of Jade (revealing the secret)
This is a follow up to the map I created for the February 2018 challenge. The original post is here:
https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...ad.php?t=40773
As mentioned in that thread, there is a secret in the map that can only be revealed by rolling it up and shining a light into the tube. Here are some pictures of that process!
For reference, here is the map from the front:
On the back of the map are a number of red arrows in different styles. Most of these are meaningless, simply to obfuscate their purpose.
To decipher the meaning of the arrows, roll the map into a tube, such that the title text is rolled to the inside and hidden. The map will be properly aligned when all three weapon silhouettes overlap, with the dagger-looking image on top. Despite what it looks like in the picture, they do properly align. The paper unfurls a little if you're not holding it rigid (such as when attempting to take a photo!).
Lastly, look at the cities, and one red arrow should be visible along the border. These arrows are headings. If you were in that city and followed the heading, you're on track to find the citadel. For best results, triangulate the headings from all six cities!
All in all, I'm very happy with how this one turned out! Learned a lot. Made some mistakes. It was fun! Thanks for the challenge prompt!
That is some next level sh!t right there. Doubly glad I voted for you now!

I think Diamond expresses most peoples sentiments. Not only is the finish on this map totally top notch, but everything else about it it is great too.
Well dagnabit!!! That is so freaking cool! Makes me wish I had voted for your map along with the others I voted for, but, seeing as how its too late for that I can still give you s tap with my rep twig.

Very nice work! I like this style a lot.
Remind me to nominate this map for the most creative map in the next Atlas Awards.
