Hello Kathrina Taliss,
It is nice to met you. I am Captain Aramis Seablade. Owner and Proprietor of the Scrolled Adventurer a Battle Magic and Map shop found in the Westhaven. I have map of main differ qualities and material an I am sure we can find one that is in your price range. I am newer to the area so i can only talk about the more resent history but there are many other that would be able to share about the history of the kingdom. Also FairFax library is not to far from town.
I look forward to meeting you. Just ask around for me I am not hard to find.
~Captain Aramis Seablade
(OOG I would suggest checking out the player guild for local history as it would be more common knowledge.
