Twelve keys mapped to landscape. Seven natural keys inhale. Five sharp keys exhale. Piralus at the center. Each key holds a region, an ecosystem, a color, and a tone.
The Heart → Quiets Source Forest
Home. Low Queen Qualia's domain. Interior to muted edge where Ecila drains and Ceila nurtures.
Quiets → Keylock
Interior river to coast gate. The hinge between forest and coast. The lock that opens.
Darkive Source Forest → Trap Island
Data enters the system, routes to Piralus. D begins the D-A-E coastal run — the shore that spells its own keys.
Source Forest → Sh'Doot
Rain forest to convergence. Trip's lighthouse. Yellow = sunlight that burns and powers simultaneously.
High King's Territory → EADal Shore
Summit to The Darkive. Where the Brush replaces the Sword. Rivers converge into one triangular body at the edge.
The Wha → Dewdrop Lake
River corridor to lake edge. Splits Niap into left and right hemispheres. The Corridor of Return.
Fairidge → Fairface
Ridge climb to tectonic anchor. F and F# create the Fenning axis — F descends, F# ascends. Both point at Piralus.
Harvestview Top → Niap City
Mountain viewpoint to starting city. Where you wake up — you do not arrive. Stan Dalone's RIFT Store.
Reed Krap / Hoyle Face Shin → Squish / Dunge
Rain shadow country. Two interior landmarks, two exterior. Reed Krap nearest F#, Hoyle Face Shin nearest G#.
Mystery Camp → Eyer Land
The Unknown to the islands. Named for the experience of being lost. Ireland + eye + eyre + island.
Steampipes → Steambridge
Eastern approach. The Steam key — the prefix carries you the whole way. Steamford is the backdrop beyond.
A##A A##A → The Steam Yards
Absurd interior to shipyards. Always twice, always unreadable. Don'te is the backdrop beyond.
The name doesn't create the place. The place creates the name.
