The World of The Bladeweaver

This map covers most of the area that gets visited in the story, so if you get lost, don’t blame me. The map was right here.

Alright, before we dive headfirst into swords, magic, and impending disaster, let’s take a moment to appreciate the lay of the land.

This is the world of The Bladeweaver, and like any good adventure, it all starts in the absolute worst possible place (or best, depending on your perspective). You guessed it—a dungeon. Look up at the top left corner of the map, and you’ll find it. That’s where our heroes start their journey.

They don’t know it yet, but escaping that dungeon is just the beginning. What starts as a desperate bid for freedom will turn into something much bigger, something that will pull them across nearly every named spot on this map.

Sorry if that’s a spoiler, or if you were hoping they would be stuck in a dungeon forever.

Why I Had This Map Made

I originally had this map made for myself. As someone who loves a good fantasy world, I’ve always found that a map adds another layer to the experience.

Writing The Bladeweaver means keeping track of a lot of locations, distances (roughly, because let’s be honest, nobody is measuring these roads), and where characters were at any given time. Could I have kept it all in my head? Sure. Could I have buried it in a million spreadsheets? I did, actually. But having a visual reference makes everything so much clearer.

And honestly? Maps are just fun. There’s something about seeing the world laid out in front of you that makes it feel bigger, like there’s always something more beyond the next city, the next mountain range, the next blank space waiting to be explored.

So while this map started as something just for me, I figured—why not share it? Now, as you read The Bladeweaver, you can see the world as I do. You can follow along, wonder what’s waiting in the places not yet visited, and maybe even get a sense of the bigger picture before the characters do.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And if you’re the kind of person who likes to stare at maps and imagine all the stories they could tell, well, you’re in the right place.

If you’re the kind of person who hates maps… well, you’re probably better off pretending you never saw this, scrolling past it, and clicking the next chapter button like none of this ever happened.
