Roland de Cremer is assigned to the Center for Cartography. He works at the department of Paul Ciceri until marshal Radisic is visiting the Center. The Obscure world has changed a lot: Urbicande is swept from the maps, Brüsel is partly drowned, Calvani is destroyed by storms and even Pȃhry is struggling after the fiasco of the last Inter-City Exhibit and so is Mylos after the death of Klaus von Rathen and the resignation of his daughter Mary. According to marshal Radisic it is time for Sodrovno-Voldachia to take the lead. To show the world the greatness of Sodrovno-Voldachia some changes are necessary in the Center. After his holiday Roland de Cremer is promoted to head of the department. The Center has a hard time to keep up with all the changes. The borders are moving so fast that they became invisible. Roland can't forget the image he has seen on the back of Shkodrã and as he thinks she is in danger he wants to save her. Truth or illusions?
