The World Canon Map — Ley Lines, Time Continuums & the Living Geography of Pedlar's Attic
The World Canon Map is the living geographic, dimensional, and temporal reference for the Pedlar’s Attic universe. It connects the northern mountains, the fertile country beneath them, the western Ashen Plains, the eastern stone country, Hidden Mist Valley, Ravenswood, and the worlds reached through the ley-line network. Physical geography, dimensional access, and journeys across time belong to the same universe, but they are not the same kind of map.
The ley lines are the network: ancient channels of earth energy that Midnight senses from altitude, Chelle reads through the ground, and Luna navigates with an instinct she rarely explains.
Pedlar’s Attic stands at their meeting point. Not the geographic centre of the world, but its energetic convergence. Places, times, and dimensions can meet there without becoming neighbouring towns on an ordinary road.
I. How to Read This World
A mountain chain is physical geography.
A bridge crosses a physical river.
A ley line can connect places separated by distance, dimensions, or centuries.
These relationships must remain distinct.
Dragonspire and Ironspire belong to different parts of the northern mountain system. Fenrisheim belongs to the age of the wolf compact. The Aether-Reach has its own dimensional rules. The Attic connects them without folding them into one straight route.
The illustrations provide a geographic framework. The written regional accounts preserve the finer relationships, established histories, and questions that remain open as the world grows.
II. The Known World and Its Limits
The great mountain chain defines the northern geography of the known world.
In the far west, the final boundary faces the Under-Reach. In the far east, the larger framework belongs to beginnings, purity, and perfect love without evil. Beyond those outer limits, reliable descriptive knowledge has not been established.
The Soraveen call the east the place where morning is created.
The opposing eastern and western meanings do not make evil necessary to goodness. The Under-Reach is pure evil, not an indispensable partner required to complete love.
The far south remains the open exception. Below even Ravenswood, no final southern boundary has been established.
A world boundary, a regional border, and a portal threshold are different things. None should be substituted for another simply to make a map easier to draw.
III. The Northern Mountain Chain
The great Spire Range runs broadly east to west across the northern lands, growing taller and colder toward its western end.
Dragonspire anchors the western mountain country. Ironspire stands far to the east against the range’s southern face. The Spire People occupy their own high country west of the city.
These places do not form a literal north–south sequence.
Dragonspire — Midnight’s Mountain Country
Ancient stone, thin air, and heights that belong to Midnight’s long memory.
From the barren Ashen Plains beneath its southern face, Dragonspire appears to have no top. The impression is one of overwhelming height, not a confirmed claim that the mountain is infinite.
The Bone Sovereign’s domain lies at its base, out on the plains. Midnight’s mountain country rises above it.
Directly east of the sheer face stands the Ashen Plains’ small northern forest. Its narrow northern tip reaches into a hollow where the mountain wall recesses northward. The range then bends back south as it continues east, before carrying on more steadily toward the Spire Peaks and Ironspire.
This hollow is not an established pass through the mountains.
Midnight’s movement through the ley-line network does not establish a continuous underground road or a confirmed cavern route between Dragonspire and Ironspire.
Connected source: Dragonforged.
The Inhabited Southern Wall
Beyond the northern Ashen plains eastern edge, the wider mountain-to-river country begins.
Along the southern foot of the main northern wall, dense, jungle-like greenery surrounds homes carved deeply into the mountain face. Their entrances are irregularly spaced, with hanging gardens spreading around the openings.
The village belongs directly against the main mountain wall. It is not built on a detached hill, nor confined to a cluster beside Ironspire or beneath the Spire Peaks.
The frontage provides room for habitation from the giant’s neighbourhood toward Ironspire without establishing that every stretch is occupied.
Two upper tiers contain homes. The lower openings serve other uses whose full account remains unrevealed.
The inhabitants prefer seclusion, not secrecy. Their homes are private; their community trades, receives visitors, and celebrates openly.
The Water Along the Mountain Face
Snowmelt and glacial thaw supply mountain-fed springs and streams.
Tiny flows descend between the inhabited openings, gathering in pools and a moat-like collection area along the foot of the wall. Decking covers much of this area so the frontage remains accessible, with spaces left for vegetation and visible water.
Hanging gardens surround the homes, pools, and decking, giving the inhabited mountain face a layered abundance.
At intervals along the village, larger streams and irrigation creeks carry clean water south into the farming country.
The mountain-fed system is separate from Ironspire’s contaminated river.
IV. The Northern Farmlands
The Northern Farmlands occupy the broad country between the southern mountain face and the contaminated river, miles to the south.
The region stretches from the giant’s western neighbourhood, and eastward beneath the Spire ascent,, toward Ironspire.
It is not one uninterrupted field. Working land shares the country with grazing areas, copses, small forests, settlements, foothills, gardens, and waterways.
The Western Beginning
Beside the eastern edge of the Ashen Plains’ small northern forest, but outside the Plains themselves, lie the giant’s country, the village whose children he saved, and the site where the silver spacecraft fell.
These mark the western beginning of the wider mountain-to-river region.
The giant’s presence gives the country a buffer-like character. That does not establish a formal kingdom, protective treaty, supernatural barrier, or promise that he guards every route.
The Region That Supplies the Wider World
The Northern Farmlands supply clean water and vegetables to most of the Pedlar’s Attic world.
Mountain water sustains the fields. Some produce remains with local residents and vendors. Other loads travel outward to people who depend on what this country provides.
The established connections lead toward Ironspire, the Spire People, the southern country across the river, and routes around the Ashen Plains toward Tri-City.
The complete distribution system has not yet been mapped. The region’s sustaining role is established without assigning every destination an invented pipeline, freight system, or named road.
The Bridges
Bridges carry travelers and trade across the contaminated river.
Crossing above the water does not make it usable.
Nobody drinks from the contaminated river. Nobody even tries. None of the region’s clean-water supply or irrigation is drawn from it.
The bridges are established connections. Their exact number, positions, names, and construction remain open.
Routes around the Ashen Plains are not automatically routes through the Plains or into the western pestilence.
The Festival Gardens
Immediately in front of the mountain-wall homes lies a park with a spread-out gathering space.
A clear-water fountain stands among performance stages, vendor booths, bars, and gardens. Behind the festivities rise the hanging greenery and the inhabited mountain face.
This is the community’s social heart.
The celebration belongs to the whole year, but ordinary life is not an uninterrupted roar. Calmer weekdays, quiet stages, and private domestic hours give way to fuller gatherings.
K-pop on one stage. Cosplay cover bands on another. LARP, comic-inspired expression, Halloween spectacle, Mardi Gras-like exuberance, and performances of many kinds share the grounds.
People arrive beautiful, gothic, playful, provocative, gruesome, or gloriously difficult to classify.
No single fandom owns the place. A healthy garden does not require a sanitised imagination.
The homes remain homes when the music quiets. Water continues into the fields. Produce continues along the trade routes. This is a living community with a festival culture, not merely a venue.
A Small Place of Regrowth
The garden community is small on the scale of the whole world map.
Its Eden-like flourishing is a place where the world is trying to regrow and heal. It does not mean every northern mile is untouched or that every neighbouring danger has ended.
The relationship between water and flourishing life offers a parallel to Hidden Mist Valley, not a revealed shared source or identical magical mechanism.
The northern streams do not purify the contaminated river or restore the lost southern fork.
Full regional account: Northern Farmlands — World File & Canon Index.
Connected geography: The Northern World Map — Canon Appendix.
V. The Spire People — The High Mountain Compact
The Spire People occupy their own high country west of Ironspire, reached by trails cut into the mountainside.
Their village is distinct from both the industrial city and the lower mountain-wall garden community.
Buddhist in patience and Taoist in understanding, they remember the age when the great drakes moved openly through the world.
They make pieces by hand in that memory: carved objects, yin yang dragon pendants, and work shaped by an understanding of forces that are partners rather than simple opposites.
They leave offerings.
The dragon receives.
The dragon gives back.
Luna’s Supply Cart
The lower country beneath the ascent is where Luna rested against a rock while hauling provisions toward the Spire People.
She had not yet reached the steepest and rockiest part.
When she woke, the cart was gone. She later found it near the flat place before the final bend, undisturbed and almost at its destination.
She suspects Midnight. She cannot prove it.
Her privacy about these journeys belongs to her character. It does not mean either mountain community is secretly inhabited.
The Dragonforged collection description is a primary source for the compact and cart incident, not merely a catalogue introduction.
Dragonforged remains the men’s collection and Midnight’s raw dragon energy. It is not another name for the Spire People, the Northern Farmlands, or Ironspire.
VI. Ironspire — The Forge City
Ironspire stands against the southern face of the northern mountain chain, far east of Dragonspire.
Formerly Ka’Petal, Nyx Shadeborn’s capital, it grew around and above the wound left by the great collapse.
The Great Forge has never gone out.
The city carries its own history of industry, shadowed markets, difficult streets, and survival. Luna moves through it with familiarity and authority.
Industrial wastewater collects in the great chasm and flows west-southwest through the contaminated river. Farther west, the flow bends toward the swamp at the Ashen Plains’ eastern edge.
The river connects Ironspire’s corruption to the western dark country. It does not supply the clean mountain springs of the Northern Farmlands.
Barren hills raised during the collapse redirected the old southern river fork. The branch that once ran toward the Soraveen country and the high falls no longer exists.
The falls remain. The lost fork must not be restored without an established event.
Connected accounts: The Iron Tether of the Shadowed Divide and The Ironspire Bond.
VII. The Fallen Vessel and the Silver Route
The spacecraft fell near the giant’s country, outside the Ashen Plains beside the eastern edge of their northern forest.
The giant saved the village children, lost a finger joint in the struggle, and sealed the creature inside the existing cave where he had been camping.
He did not create the cave. He also discovered that sealing it had locked him out of his own shelter.
Within the darkness, the creature bred.
The later encounter beneath Ashveil Ridge brought Chelle, Luna, Cinder, and Ash into an ordeal that nearly killed them. Midnight broke through a vast section of the mountain and destroyed the creature and its eggs.
The creature’s destruction is established. The wreck’s material entered a different continuing story.
The Silver Carried West
Scouts from the Ashen Plains recognised functional silver in the vessel’s remains.
They dismantled the wreck, carting and carrying its material west in manageable pieces through the Eastern Swamp crossing.
Midnight witnessed the recovery. His later warning helped turn the Attic’s attention toward securing silver before it accumulated elsewhere.
The Silver collection description preserves that recovery, warning, and continuing purpose.
The collection’s individual pieces come from different established sources, including the Becoming Places, the Aether-Reach, Fenrisheim’s oath-metal tradition, and the high mountain work of the Spire People. They are not all fragments of the ship.
The larger purpose is a matter of destination: here instead of there.
The spacecraft crash is not established as the cause of the Bone-Glass Wastes or the western distortion. The silver route connects the threads without solving the whole mystery.

VIII. The Ashen Plains — The Western Dark Country
The Ashen Plains are where two centuries of human-made contamination met the influence of the Under-Reach.
Ka’Petal and then Ironspire sent poison west through the river. At the western weakness, that poison encountered an ancient evil already waiting beyond the world’s limit.
The Plains are the resulting symbiosis made geography.
The Swamp and the Two Forests
The contaminated river enters the substantial swamp at the region’s eastern side.
From the wider world, it may be called the Western Swamp. Within the Ashen Plains, it is the Eastern Swamp.
The swamp spreads north and south of the river’s arrival but does not reach the northern mountain wall.
The small northern forest stands east of Dragonspire’s sheer face, its northern tip entering the recessed hollow.
The separate Corrupt Forest occupies the southern and southeastern country. These are not one continuous forest.
The swamp’s weakness concerns influence and the drawing of evil into the region. It is not an ordinary gate into a charted Under-Reach.
The Barren Plains and the Bone Sovereign
Actual barren plains occupy much of the western country.
Beside the western line, north and south of the Cathedral, there is barely grass and almost no shrub or tree cover even before the pestilence begins.
The desolation extends north toward Dragonspire and reaches the Carnival and the Corrupt Forest’s edge.
At Dragonspire’s base lies the Bone Sovereign’s domain.
He uses fresh bones to assemble mindless skeletal footmen, replenishing his armies through the continuing influx of material. This demand is why bones became the original currency among lifeless and zombified citizens.
The assembled soldiers are not interchangeable with every undead citizen, and not every inhabitant is established as his servant.
The Interior and the Western Edge
West of the swamp stands the stone circle, where the wind produces its unnamed chord and Cinder refuses to enter.
Farther west, the Laughing Dark Carnival keeps its lights and music going beside the desolation.
The Whispering Cathedral stands fixed at the eastern visible edge of the Bone-Glass Wastes. The final western line lies practically at its back door.
The Wastes are melted sand fused into glass, extending west toward and beyond the boundary. Their material records an extraordinary event without identifying its cause.
The Arc, the Pestilence, and the Final Line
The arc describes the broader eastward bulge associated with the affected Plains country.
The pestilence zone is the hazardous approach.
The final western line is where the westward pull becomes irresistible and retreat is no longer possible.
These are related features, not interchangeable borders.
Bodily harm can begin before the final line. Returning does not necessarily reverse it.
For the underlying world record, intense radiation is part of the danger. The characters know the heat, burns, sores, sickness, and deterioration without possessing that diagnosis.
The radiation and the pull are separate dangers. No living creature is immune to the former.
Tri-City and the New Currency
At the southwest stands Tri-City: one ancient city occupying three zones.
Its northern part belongs to the enhanced Plains. Its southern half lies in the ordinary Great Desert. A small western portion enters the pestilence zone.
Living, dead, and in-between residents trade among its Egyptian forms and ancient geometry.
Bones remain the original currency. Only lately has special silver entered the economy alongside them.
At the counting tables, figures described as officials inspect types and grades of silver. Their authority and ultimate allegiance remain unresolved.
The Bone Sovereign’s attention has turned toward the stone circle, Carnival, Cathedral, western boundary, and Silver.
What he, or possibly another entity, ultimately wants remains central to the world’s unfolding story.
There is a rumour that sufficient silver in the right configuration could affect the boundary. Its requirements, mechanism, and final directing power remain unknown.
The Companions
Chelle, Luna, Cinder, Ash, and Midnight all have meaningful agency in this history.
Luna’s familiarity does not make the Plains her exclusive domain. Chelle is not confined to the Attic counter. The wolves are not escorts or scenery.
Midnight’s connection to Dragonspire gives him personal investment, not complete knowledge of everything below the cliffs.
Full regional account: The Ashen Plains — World File & Canon Index.
IX. The Great Desert
The Great Desert occupies vast country south of the contaminated river across much of the central and western world.
The Ashen Plains lie to its west and northwest, meeting it along their southern country. Tri-City straddles that meeting, with its southern half in the ordinary desert world.
The ley lines beneath the desert do not become surface roads merely because they connect distant places.
Farther east lie the Sunrise Steppes and their stone country. Beyond the falls lies Hidden Mist Valley. Farther south, beyond the forest and mists, is Ravenswood.
Substantial parts of the desert remain undescribed and available for future stories.
X. The Sunrise Steppes and the Becoming Places
The Sunrise Steppes are the far eastern stone country: canyon walls, the mesa, the Soraveen, and a history whose patience exceeds the span of any single visit.
The Soraveen have been here longer than the Steppes have had a name. They do not teach; they witness.
The old woman reads Chelle’s hands, not her face.
The Becoming Places are the river valleys below, where the earth releases what it has finished making and stones are found at the waterline.
The old southern river fork is gone. Its loss remains part of the country’s history.
The Hundred-Year Circle
The mesa, its Ouroboros, the enduring torch, and the figures at its eastern and western rims belong to a continuing canon whose mysteries are not resolved by placing them on a map.
The Ouroboros is navigation, not merely decoration.
The Dawn Seeker belongs to the eastern rim. The Dusk Watcher belongs to the western rim. Their deeper identities and the unfinished meanings of the circle remain within their established stories.
The Canyon Thread
The unnamed cougar shapeshifter belongs to the canyon. His age, patience, and indigenous magic are part of the existing thread.
Chelle’s encounters, the bathing-place incident, and the sodalite bracelet left with a raw stone continue that story without supplying a new name or revealing an identity before its time.
The bracelet she does not sell remains distinct from ordinary stock.
Primary regional source: The Sunrise Steppes — Canon Index.
Connected anchors: The Oldest Classroom — Chelle and the Patience of Stone and The Stalker of the Sunrise Steppes.
XI. Hidden Mist Valley — The Home of the Earthsong
Below the high falls lies a living forest community: fairies, merfolk, naiads, dryads, centaurs, unicorns, unusually aware animals, butterflies, dragonflies, and ordinary creatures belonging to a world full of life.
Elderuth, the last of the Firstborn Trees, stands at its heart.
The pure river rises from the hidden cave beneath the old waterfall. The waterfall was its concealment, not its source.
The Earthsong originated here. Elderuth heard it and gave it to Chelle. Her present power does not make her the source of the valley or its water.
The Mists
The mists are a defense, not ordinary weather.
Within them, thought and reality become the same thing. An ordinary human’s fear, dream, or memory can become immediate experience, overwhelming direction and sanity.
North of Ravenswood, near the thinner forest edge, old human fairy-tale thoughts can appear as recognisable sights: impossible cottages, remembered figures, stories taking shape where a traveler expected woodland.
Ravenswood’s people avoid the northern woods, saying the forest drives people mad.
Beings who belong to the valley can move through its defenses. The portal network bypasses the mists, and Midnight can fly above them.
The valley is not inaccessible in itself. It is inaccessible to the wrong travelers.
The Closed Veil Crisis
A century before the present, Ka’Petal’s contamination crossed the valley’s convergence and produced dimensional veils that suppressed magic.
Outer-village fairies lost their dust, flight, and glow. Merpeople and other inhabitants suffered within affected waters and places.
Luna, born in the valley as a fairy, went to find Chelle after overhearing Elderuth speak of the girl above the falls.
Chelle’s Earthsong, the fall of Ka’Petal, Nyx’s defeat, the pure spring’s revelation, and the lifting of the veils belong to that connected origin event.
The veils are gone. The crisis is closed.
The outer-village fairies sometimes called Brownies are and always have been fairies. Their restored magic is not an unresolved suppression story.
Chelle’s Present Relationship with the Valley
The valley is also home to Chelle.
She can walk the southern forest and mists without that becoming a return to the northern fairy-veil area, the falls, or Elderuth.
Her present life with Luna at the Attic is settled. No explanation of exile, fear, inability, or deliberate avoidance has been established.
A forest walk and a homecoming are not interchangeable events.
The Soraveen know of the valley and keep that knowledge quiet. Ravenswood does not know it exists.
Full account: The Hidden Mist Valley — What the Forest Actually Is.
Origin account: Elderuth — The Earthsong and the Dark Fairy.
Connected story: The Weaver’s Grace — The Arrival of the Fairy Veils.
XII. Ravenswood — The Modern Southern Settlement
Ravenswood lies south of Hidden Mist Valley’s forest and mists, in the largely human-world region.
It is large, modern, and technologically capable. Descendants of Ka’Petal’s survivors belong to the settlement that grew after the collapse.
Its ley-line convergence matters without making its people generally aware of the hidden valley to the north.
Midnight watches from altitude and settles on the rooftop of one particular shop.
Pedlar’s Attic.
The world’s southern extent continues beyond Ravenswood into geography not yet given a final boundary.
XIII. The Aether-Reach — Hecate’s Dimension
The Aether-Reach is not a country to attach to the edge of the physical map.
It is its own dimension, with its own physics and relationship to time.
Rain crystallises in the air. Planetary weather shapes what falls. The Observatory keepers record it. Zoltar Stations dispense futures. The White Rabbit follows a schedule that makes more sense from inside the place than outside it.
Hecate’s thresholds belong here.
The Aether-Reach exists at ley-line convergences without becoming a continuous strip of ground between the regions they connect.
Ancient druids brought astrological knowledge back through this network. The relationship between sacred sites, stars, and earth energy belongs to that history.
The dimension is independent of the far eastern ocean. Similar mystery does not establish geographic attachment.
Full account: The Aether-Reach.
XIV. Fenrisheim — The Wolfsong Expanse
Fenrisheim belongs to the age of the wolf compact: the Nordic past held within a dimensional relationship to the present.
Salmon rivers, high timber, open game, the Hall of the Three Oaths, and the memory of ancient Celtic and Norse peoples belong there.
Those people lived as equals with the wild wolf. Their offerings remain within the land’s history.
Cinder and Ash do not travel to Fenrisheim as if following a present-day road. They step sideways through the Celtic-Norse frequency of the network.
Luna’s standing as Friend of the Wolf was earned through trial. Her exile and return remain established history, including the fact that acceptance was not universal.
The Freyja Incident remains sealed. Its silence is not an invitation to invent an explanation.
Ancient Celtic offerings, druid sites, and the symbols Chelle carries share a root without making every tradition or event identical.
Full account: Fenrisheim — The Wolfsong Expanse.
Connected history: Fenrisheim: Appendices — The Hidden History.
XV. The High Monastery — The Unnamed Sacred Mountain
The monastery is carved into an unnamed mountain.
Not built against the rock. Within it.
The cells are small. The corridors are narrow. The chapel holds only a handful of people. Its life is made for the individual rather than the crowd.
Its sacred love stands above the other powers of the Attic universe.
Midnight’s response is silence, not an ordinary approving rumble.
Chelle found the place by following what the earth pointed toward. What happened within its silence remains hers.
The mountain is intentionally unnamed and must not be assigned an exact position in the northern chain merely because both involve mountain-carved rooms.
Full account: The Mountain That Touches the Face of God.
Connected account: The Hands That Were Already Praying.
XVI. The Tideborn Deep
The Tideborn Deep is the ancient ocean world of the sirens, reached through the portal relationship rather than assigned an invented location beside another coastline.
Their telepathy, empathic influence, gifts, and visits belong to its established compact with the Attic.
The shell behind the counter is a continuing promise.
The sirens can come through to the Attic. Chelle and Luna cannot simply make a return visit to the Deep.
A beach elsewhere in the physical world is not automatically its shore. Shell jewellery does not by itself establish a Tideborn origin.
Full account: The Tideborn Deep.
XVII. Pedlar’s Attic — The Meeting Point
The shop stands in Ravenswood.
The portal is behind the heavy velvet curtain, past the crystal shelf, the tarot display, and the drawer beneath the crystal case that Chelle keeps locked after dark.
It looks like a wall. The air near it is warmer than it ought to be.
Five permanent companions tend this home: Chelle, Luna, Midnight, Cinder, and Ash.
Midnight’s skylight brings his great head down into the shop’s interior life. The Closet is a living, overstuffed spherical library of graphic tees. The old brass register still carries the shop’s founding history.
Emily Mayfield belongs to that earlier history as a past Keeper, not a current member of the household.
The Attic is the energetic centre of the network, not a point that requires every region to be geographically close.
It is the bridge between these worlds and ours.
Character history also lives in the collection descriptions. Those accounts carry primary canon alongside the world files and stories.
XVIII. Time Continuums — The Network Beyond Distance
The ley lines do not connect only places. They connect times.
The Age of the Wolf Compact
Fenrisheim preserves a living relationship with the ancient Celtic-Norse world. Its people and wolves are not merely historical references recalled from the present.
The Druid Convergences
Stonehenge, sacred groves, and ancient circles belong to the human past of the network. Their builders responded to an earth frequency that still connects the worlds.
The Origin Event
Ka’Petal’s collapse, Nyx’s defeat, the Earthsong, Luna’s rescue of Chelle, the pure spring’s revelation, and the lifting of the valley’s veils form a connected foundation for the present world.
Ironspire and Ravenswood developed within the consequences of that history.
The Attic’s Present
The Attic exists where those relationships meet.
An object reaching the shop from another age does not mean its entire homeland has moved into the present-day physical landscape.
Midnight and Time
Midnight does not experience the network as an ordinary traveler measures a road.
His access to distant places and times follows the ley lines, not simply miles flown across the illustrated map.
That reach does not give him complete knowledge of every mystery. What he has witnessed, what he believes, and what remains unknown are different things.
XIX. The Network — Quick Reference
The northern geography: Dragonspire anchors the western end of the mountain chain. The range continues east toward the Spire People and Ironspire. The Northern Farmlands occupy the broad country between its southern face and the contaminated river.
The clean-water system: snowmelt, glacial thaw, springs, and streams feed mountain pools, gardens, irrigation creeks, and the wider supply network.
The contaminated river: Ironspire’s industrial outflow travels west toward the Eastern Swamp. It is not a source of drinking or irrigation water.
The surface connections: mountain trails, outward trade routes, and river bridges connect the northern country with the Spire People, Ironspire, the south, and routes around the Ashen Plains toward Tri-City.
The western geography: the Ashen Plains lie beneath Dragonspire and west of the wider mountain-to-river country. Their southern country meets the Great Desert. The Cathedral stands almost against the final western line.
The eastern framework: beyond the eastern mesa, established country passes through desert grass, fields, tropical forest, beach, and ocean. No returned account makes the farther shore familiar.
The Spine Connection: the ley-line network joins Dragonspire, the Spire People, Ironspire, the Great Desert, the Sunrise Steppes, the falls, Hidden Mist Valley, Ravenswood, and the Attic. This is an energetic connection, not a straight north–south road.
The temporal connections: Fenrisheim’s wolf-compact age, ancient druid convergences, the Ka’Petal and Elderuth origin event, and the Attic’s present.
The dimensional connections: the Aether-Reach, Fenrisheim, the Tideborn Deep’s compact, and other established thresholds retain their own access rules. Portal access does not automatically make every region a separate dimension.
The concert outings: human-world gatherings reached through the portal are ley-line events. The music and shared experience belong to that frequency without relocating the venue onto the fantasy map.
The portal hub: Pedlar’s Attic connects the network while each destination keeps its own geography, history, and limits.
XX. Canon Boundaries — What This Map Does Not Resolve
The world beyond the far eastern and western limits remains unknown to its inhabitants. The northern beyond is not described, and the far south remains open.
The mountain-wall inhabitants’ full identity, lower-tier uses, exact settlement limits, and mountain secrets remain unrevealed.
The Northern Farmlands’ bridges and supply role are established without a finished engineering or transport atlas.
The small flourishing region is not established as a creation of Chelle, another Hidden Mist Valley, or a system that cleans the contaminated river.
The giant’s presence is not a formal protectorate.
The ship crash and the western distortion are not established as one event.
The silver’s ultimate purpose, required configuration, and directing power remain unresolved.
The High Monastery’s location remains unassigned.
The Hundred-Year Circle, the canyon thread, sealed histories, and the companions’ unspoken relationships are not solved by drawing connecting lines.
What an author-level world record contains is not automatically what Chelle, Luna, the wolves, Midnight, or an enemy knows.
About This Document
This is the living geographic, dimensional, and temporal reference for Pedlar’s Attic, a lore-driven fantasy lifestyle brand and story universe.
It records the relationships between established regions while preserving their own fuller world files.
The Northern Farmlands, the Ashen Plains, the Sunrise Steppes, Hidden Mist Valley, and other regional anchors provide the deeper accounts. The Dragonforged and Silver collection descriptions preserve connected primary canon that must not be lost between articles.
The map grows as the world grows. Undeveloped space is room for future stories, not permission to invent their conclusions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the World Canon Map a literal travel route?
No. It records physical geography alongside ley-line, dimensional, and temporal connections. Those relationships must be read separately.
Where are the Northern Farmlands?
Between the northern mountain chain and the contaminated river, from the giant’s western neighbourhood past the Spire ascent toward Ironspire in the east.
Where is the mountain-wall village?
Directly along the foot of the main northern mountain face. It is distinct from Ironspire and the Spire People’s higher village.
Where does the clean water come from?
Northern mountain snowmelt, glacial thaw, springs, and streams. It feeds the pools, hanging gardens, irrigation, and wider clean-water supply.
Does anyone drink the contaminated river water?
No. Nobody even tries. Bridges allow crossings without making its water usable for drinking or irrigation.
Are the Northern Farmlands only agricultural?
No. They include homes, woodland, grazing country, foothills, gardens, trade routes, and a festival community with a fountain, stages, booths, K-pop, cosplay, and LARP.
How does the fallen ship connect to the Ashen Plains?
Scouts dismantled its remains and transported functional silver west through the Eastern Swamp crossing. That recovery is part of the larger unresolved silver pursuit.
Is the Aether-Reach beyond the eastern ocean?
No such geographic attachment is established. It is an independent dimension accessed through the network.
Is Fenrisheim in the present-day northern mountains?
No. It belongs to the wolf-compact age and is accessed through the Celtic-Norse dimensional frequency.
Has Chelle returned to Elderuth?
Not in the established present-day account. Her ability to walk the southern forest and mists is distinct from returning to the northern home places.
Where is the High Monastery?
Within an intentionally unnamed mountain. An exact position on the northern physical map has not been established.
Why do collection descriptions matter to the canon?
They hold primary character and world history, including Luna’s cart journey, the Spire compact, the silver salvage, and Midnight’s warning.
The mountains hold their homes. The water finds its gardens. The roads carry what the world needs, while the ley lines carry what no road could bring. At their meeting point, the Attic keeps the door.
