Census Plains
Public lore preserves the setting's disagreements and uncertain histories.
In Umbra Magni certain agricultural districts still retain underlying survey grids visible under moonlight, heat, or ritual inspection. Fields align with old census geometry so precisely that crop variation can reveal tax anomalies. Windbreak trees, drainage ditches, shrine stones, and road widths all reflect a logic of countability. Locals live with a constant sense that the land is being watched, even when no official stands nearby.
