A long long time ago all of Central Maroon knew where everything was located. They knew the secret caves and dungeons, they knew the best fishing spot, and they knew where to find the biggest boar of all Maroon.
However, they're prosperity grew so much that it ultimately destroyed them.
When a foreigner arrived at Central Maroon from a land farther away, they treated him as a noob. They made fun of his limited knowledge of the land and in the end....the foreigner got quite angry.
The foreigner took it upon himself to lay a curse on all of Central Maroon. The curse was this:
"You have treated me like you know everything and i know nothing! Therefore, until 100 years have passed you will lose your knowledge of this land! And when the curse is lifted you will have to learn from the beginning!!!"
Because of this curse, traders became pionereers into Central Maroon. Even when they finished they're route they forgot about how they go there because of the curse. Maps were destroyed instantly, and even newly made ones were burned by the unseen forces of the curse.
However, now in this age of Maroon: 2208, the curse has left. Now maps can be created, routes can be remembered, and towns will be newly found.
