Vystonne's Second Classic Map was one of the most amazing discoveries regarding middle earth. It depicts the central event of the History of Illystra before the Ascendancy of Whitehawk, namely the Burning of the Wizard Towers of Nystol in the Fourth Age and subsequent loss of all profane and worldly learning. The catastrophe plunged the continent into a time of great Chaos and barbarian invasions, destroying the corrupt civilization and preparing the way for the time of the Ammouri.
