Raimond Lamolieu is a mild-mannered, brilliant Cartographer who is tired of his world's
"conquered and complete" maps, which he suspects are deliberate lies by the reigning
Imperial power. He lives in a world where vast, unexplored territories are rumored to hold ancient magic and monster civilizations. Raimond uses a lost Dimension-Viewing Lens to find a truly unmapped, newly formed island-continent named Aethelgard, which phases in and out of the main world's dimensional plane. His goal isn't world domination, but to map, document, and stabilize Aethelgard before the Imperial powers realize its existence and invade. His initial "conquest" is simply claiming a vast, resource-rich, but currently uninhabited, forest valley.
