How to use the setting guide
The pages move from worlds to settlements and workplaces. A place can belong to several kinds of story: Olympus Prime is a demand on a heat network in Paul’s book and an agricultural community in Caitlyn’s. Those views complement each other without requiring a map of plot events.
No invented coordinates or travel distances are supplied. Everyday life follows the common features of inhabited spaces, while the Reader glossary explains terms used across locations.
