One of the biggest questions players keep asking themselves is where to find Sanza after starting the “Mapping the Living Lands” quest, as there seems to be no indication of where to return to him after locating the missing cartographers. If you’re struggling with this as well, fret not, as finding him is quite simple. Here’s where to find Sanza in Avowed.

Where To Find Sanza In Avowed

Once you've located the four cartographers Sanza tasks you with finding, it can be quite challenging to return to him. Luckily, his location is not that much of a mystery, and once you encounter him again, your efforts will be fairly rewarded. The first thing you'll want to do is head to Paradis and immediately head toward the Administration District. Keep going north until you reach the Paradis Highlands.

You’ll eventually come across a building that’s painted red. Go inside to find Sanza’s Emporium. That’s it, there’s no more to it. Once you’re inside Sanza’s Emporioum, you’ll see him there, and your quest will finally be over.

Is There A Romance System In Avowed?

At some point during your playthrough, you’ve probably wondered whether Avowed allows you to take advantage of your silver tongue to romance companions or NPCs, such as Sanza. The quick and unfortunate answer is no. This is kind of disappointing, as other similar RPGs, such as Skyrim or Mass Effect, do feature romance options across the board. However, there seems to be an explanation for this.

According to the game's director, the development team made the choice not to include romance options in Avowed to help players develop a closer relationship with their companions without the burden of romance. Only time will tell whether this was the right call, as a lot of players are fond of getting to know their companions more in-depth in order to romance them and bond. While it's undeniable that an RPG does not really need a romance option to be fun, it can help make the gameplay experience feel a lot more complete and complex. This has been proven time and time again over the years by many other successful titles in the genre.
