Why, when I was first hatched I wandered off immediately, leaving my brothers and sisters and poor mother behind! My name is Cornifer, and I've always loved exploring the world. When you spend a lot of time by yourself, with just your own thoughts, you forget the niceties of conversation. Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced myself have I? Yes, I should apologise for that. I pop back to see her whenever I finish mapping an area. She'll even sell some of my old maps from time to time. She's just now opening our new map shop in Dirtmouth, selling all sorts of useful things to wanderers like yourself. If you've not the head for directions, I suggest purchasing a compass from my wife, Iselda. Hmm? Have you changed your mind about buying a map?Ī map can be a useful thing, but it alone won't show you where you are. "All our food is made of Geo", as they say. I'd give you the map as a gift, but I don't think my wife would be very happy if I did. You don't have enough Geo? Ah, I understand. Exploring without a map, finding your own way through unknown caverns. Not interested, then? Yes, quite understandable. Would you like to buy a copy of my work so far? I'm a cartographer by trade, and I'm working on mapping this area right now. Getting lost and finding your way again is a pleasure like no other. Come down to explore these beautiful old ruins? Don't mind me. Once all maps are bought or once all his maps are available in the Dirtmouth shop, he can be found in the map shop, sleeping in a loft bed. Upon listening to him within Ancient Basin after buying a map for that area, he states that he doesn't want to worry his wife, Iselda, and should head back up to the shop soon after a short rest. The only location where he does not hum is in Deepnest, where he is visibly afraid for his life and does not want to give his location away to the beasts. Scattered papers on the ground lead to his location and his humming can be heard from a few rooms across. Her shop is unlocked when Cornifer has been listened to or when the False Knight has been defeated or skipped by leaving the battle.Ĭornifer can be found in every zone he sells a map for. In-game eventsĬornifer is first encountered in the bottom of the Forgotten Crossroads where he sells Maps and advises the Knight to visit his wife Iselda's shop up in Dirtmouth. He later moved to Dirtmouth with Iselda as soon as he could. When Cornifer was first hatched, he wandered off right away, leaving his siblings and his mother behind.

The map-which is used in Japanese textbooks-can be fit into different shapes without losing its accuracy, and AuthaGraph sells paper assembly kits where you can fold it from a sphere to a cone to a flat map, mimicking the way the projection itself is made. “AuthaGraph faithfully represents all oceans continents, including the neglected Antarctica,” according to the Good Design Awards, and provides “an advanced precise perspective of our planet.” No longer does Africa look the same size as North America, or Antarctica look like one of the biggest continents (it’s smaller than everything but Europe and Australia). Unlike the Mercator projection, the 1569 mapping technique that you'd probably recognize from the world maps you saw in school, the continents on the AuthaGraph aren’t lined up straight across-they’re angled in a way that provides a more accurate representation of the distances between them.
