The Gazetteer

Zoom in. Every name is a place, and every place has a story.

Scroll to zoom · drag to pan · click a name

This one took a while. The two maps underneath are freshly drawn — label-free renderings of the same geography, so that every name you see is drawn by your browser, in the right place, sharp at any zoom. That means a name can be a thing you click rather than a thing you squint at.

The names are still filling in. Places without a lore card yet will say so plainly rather than make something up. If a name sits in the wrong spot, or a place you care about is missing, I'd like to know.
