The maps were not of Nordarra as she’d expected. They were of places in the human world she’d only heard of; Africa, Asia, America. All places on the other side of the portal in the ocean a few miles from Porta Belua that allowed trade and flow of people between the two worlds.
literally only now realizing we are in a separate world that exists alongside Earth and is apparently accessible through a portal???? I feel like this should have been introduced earlier???
