The True Map of the Realm - Lucius Aurelian

Maps show us what our world appears like at a larger scale and are used for navigation through any means of travel. The Mercator projection is considered the most accurate in terms of navigation however, it leads to vast distortion within the true size of the continents. This projection also displays other ways maps may be distorted in terms of true size and accuracy.

The result of these projections is a series of questions about what the actual layout of the land, the realm, the world that we inhabit.

-What would a true and accurate map of the lands look like?
-How can maps be projected (distorted) to give priority to certain areas of geography?
-Is it possible there may be more lands that are not displayed on current map projections?
-How does navigation along rhumb lines deviate from latitude and longitude lines?
-Could current maps still have errors and missing lands not displayed?
