The Cartographer's Prank
On April first, every map in the guildhall has been redrawn so that north points somewhere new each hour. Expeditions are canceling, merchants are lost, and the prankster left only a single genuine compass rose—carved into the floorboards. Find who swapped the maps, restore reliable navigation, and decide whether the guild's sense of humor survives the week.
