[QUOTE="CullAfulMoshuN, post: 38092, member: 1270"] Cartography is definately a profession, making scale maps requires alot of skill and speciallised knowledge. However anyone with reasonable artistic skills can attempt to copy a map, and on the same note, knowing how to make a map doesn't means its pretty. Like some of the previous suggestions I would lean towards these skills: * Profession (Cartographer) - Ability to make acurate maps. * Craft (Painting) - To produce asthetically pleasing maps. * Craft (Caligraphy) - To produce beautiful and easy to read names. * Knowledge (Geography) - To remember details from other maps and area descriptions to fit maps accurately into the bigger picture or produce a map from memory. I don't believe Profession (Scribe) would be of benefit as it represents an ability to duplicate books accurately, and Profession (Engineer) is more related to schematics and diagrams of artifically made structures than over land maps.
