Mapping the Living Lands is a series of side quests in Avowed that involves finding cartographers in each region. Read on for a Mapping the Living Lands walkthrough to find all the cartographer locations in Dawnshore, Emerald Stair, and Shatterscarp, as well as Sanza's location, and the rewards for completion.

Mapping the Living Lands Cartographer Locations

Dawnshore Cartographer Location

After starting the quest, you need to first find the Dawnshore Cartographer Geirmund. The cartographer's body is located at the Usher's Hand, on the east side of Dawnshore, just outside Paradis.

After picking up Geirmund's Map, head back to Sanza in Sanza's Emporium and report what happened with Geirmund.

Emerald Stair Cartographer Location

You have to find the Emerald Stair Cartographer Fleccia after completing the previous quest. The remains of the cartographer can be located at Emerald Stair's Naku Tedek Grounds.

Head back to Sanza after obtaining Fleccia's Map and inform him about Fleccia.

Shatterscarp Cartographer Location

The next dead cartographer can be found south of Shatterscarp, near the water, just below Twin Offerings Overlook. Loot the map from their body.

Once you have the cartographer’s map, report back to Sanza.

Galawain's Tusks Cartographer Location

The Galawain's Tusk cartographer is located in Soreena's Mercy, just outside Solace Keep.

Take the stairs down to the jail cells to find Renato. If you've completed the Galawain's Tusks main quest Our Dreams Divide Us Still, Renato will be dead but you can still retrieve the quest item and return it to Sanza.

Optional Prerequisite

If you follow the Renato's Dispatch clue on the Solace Keep bounty board, then it'll lead you to the Ash Forest in the north of Galawain's Tusks. Head to the location above and you'll find a Notice to Fellow Wardens instead of the cartographer. This part of the quest is optional, as you can just go straight to Soreena's Mercy.

Release Renato or Leave Him Behind

Talk to Renato, who is locked behind bars. You can either persuade the Warden to release him or leave him imprisoned. Regardless of your choice, you will receive Renato’s Map.

Once you have the map, report back to Sanza in Northern Paradis. Whether you choose to lie or tell him the truth about Renato, he will still reward you for completing the quest.

How to Start Mapping the Living Lands

Talk to Sanza Outside of Claviger's Landing

You can unlock the Mapping the Living Lands side quest as soon as you speak to Sanza, who is camped just outside Claviger’s Landing, near the bridge leading to Paradis.

Talk to Sanza at Sanza's Emporium

Alternatively, you can accept the quest by visiting Sanza’s Emporium in Northern Paradis and speaking to him there.

If you haven't spoken to Sanza, the quest will also trigger automatically if you pick up any of the cartographer’s maps while exploring.

Accept from the Bounty Board

From the Emerald Stair region onward, you can start the region’s Mapping the Living Lands quest by accepting the dispatch note on that region’s Bounty Board.
