Oblivion Starmap

These are the completed versions of the Olbivion Starmap. A compilation of all the current lore work put into this worldbuilding project circa. 2025. 1 - Base 2 - Mashup of the following 2 3 - Political Map 4 - Region Map.

Every named star, Every named planet, has at LEAST 1 paragraph of lore that I can recite. There may be some that have slipped the cracks, but all in all. This is less an expansion and more a compilation. Likely more versions and additions and expansions and updates to come, but for now. She's REAL.

I Think, just maybe, I might have gone a liiiiittle overkill. Explaination Document coming whenever that is done.

Fictional Friday: Ayda Aguefort

Welcome back to Fictional Friday, where I recommend items from Newberry Digital Collections to fictional characters. I'm currently focusing on iconic librarians, and in honor of next week's finale, today we're talking about Dimension 20's Ayda Aguefort.

What to get for everyone's favorite immortal teen autistic lesbian wizard librarian? Ayda spent years studying the stars on Leviathan so that she would know where the floating pirate city was going. This cosmography, astronomy, and geography textbook from the 1400s has information about both the skies and the seas to inform her study.

Of course, Ayda didn't know that every time she looked up at the sky, the meteors she sent declaring her love for Fig were already on their way. I wonder if those meteors show up anywhere in this book's diagrams? Pretty cool.
