"Here there be dragons"

Michael Limner, esq.

Generally "Here be the dragons" was found at the edge of the map, beyond the
boundaries of known lands....A warning as to what you might find if you
explore into the unknown. I believe I have  a map with an example...

If you need hard copy, I can scan it and email it....just drop me a note to my
email address.
