    It's the magical kingdom of Sanimunna! Complete with an island castle, where dragons dwell (c), surrounded by enchanted shrubs where hobbits get lost daily trying to find the Golden Brick Road that leads through the kingdom of Pie. The road is strategically paved to allow its travelers to hit upon all the major bakeries and sweets-making operations in the realm. Those are not mountains, by the way. They are enormous truffles. Watch out for the stealthed hobbit archers though, they too are strategically placed around delicious peaks to discourage excessive nibbling. But no need to worry: their arrow tips are just suction cups. Rumor has it, every night a smoke is seen rising above the castle of Nûnna Lyt, which does not smell like pipeweed at all and is rather the unfortunate result of the castle's fairy keeper not quite knowing how to properly boil sugar.
    The map of the magical Sanumunna was gifted to the Michel Delving authorities to celebrate the two towns becoming Sister Cities in a shrewd political move to improve tourism and local economies, particularly targeting the Hungry Hobbit demographic. However, due to the convoluted bureaucratic regulations concerning acquisition of new maps for Michel Delving civic offices, the map of Sanimunna spent an unmentionable (and rather embarrassing) amount of years stowed away in the Mathom House attic, whence it was eventually fished out by an excited little son of the Michel Delving postmaster himself. The provenance of this map has never been questioned, although Nosey Hobbits whisper among themselves and leer at it every time they are inside the post office to receive birthday present packages. Some claim that the true map of Sanimunna was never found and is still somewhere in the Mathom House attic among unlabeled crates, whereas the framed map hanging on the post office wall was entirely a product of excessive consumption of sugary sweets and several hours' worth of childish doodling with calligraphic Warg Pens (c). The Michel Delving postal authorities frown upon such vile rumors, and have all but til recently prohibited visitors to the map-decorated office space. . . . . . .
    Éalá Éarendel engla beorhtast,
    ofer middangeard monnum sended,
    ond sóð
    fæsta sunnan léoma,
    torht ofer tung
    las, þú tída gehwane,
    of sylfum þé symle inlíhtes!

    That's awesome. Since it's clearly a mirror dimension, can we fly on the dragons?

    I take it you missed the Easter Egg where Postmaster Proudfoot discusses this very map?

    I think it's repeatable. If not, do you have an alt? It's a low level quest.

    Not repeatable until next year, I think.

    Anyway, to see the colour text, go back up the stairs after reading one of the letters.
