From publisher blurb:
Sir Sivart was a great explorer who gained grand repute from the kingdom. He worked for a long time as a cartographer, and would join adventurers as a guide while also continuing to map out the lands, and his maps have been viewed far and wide as among the greatest of the current age.
Sir Sivart was an avid fan of surveying the land from high above and plotting out concept maps from high points before actually exploring them. To this end, he forewent a classic adventurer’s weaponry, and instead commissioned a pair of hooks to be enchanted by a powerful caster to assist him in being able to get to high places through his own physicality rather than by simple flight. After many years of adventuring, Sir Sivart retired, using the funds and title he’d obtained through his several quests to build a manor on the cliffside of what he considered his first great accomplishment; a dangerous vertical mountain wall called The Sheer, thought to be unclimbable until Sir Sivart conquered it and discovered a mysterious locked room in a cave within the wall. Sir Sivart remained in his manor, taking care of his family and leading a fulfilling life, and after he was dead, he was buried in a tomb constructed at the base of The Sheer, wherein his legendary climbing hooks were also interred.
