Ah, thank you, Pipp. I am excited, it feels like I'm finally getting onto the right path for me. And I'm also keen to have others join me - things are often better together than alone. 💫

Definitely the city of Hexton, nobody can adventure further without supplies, ie nourishment and essential equipment to enter Leopine.

Idea for continuing - Kriliah also has to find something (another map maybe, or a daemon like in Phillip Pullmans epic Dark Materials - I love the latter idea but it’s not really mine...) in the complicated streets of Hexton for which he needs a hexipass... perhaps he knows where to find it, perhaps it entails a diversion to the Carillion Cave ?

Up to you from there Debs... this is brilliant, once again, the work you’ve put into this is truly awesome!

Hexton - noted!

And such great ideas - would you like to write the next map story? I'm serious. I provide the map and you continue the story...

I had in mind that Kriliah would find something for the journey... as well as supplies

It has to be in under 500 words... (micro fiction) and for next Tuesday? No pressure, you can always join in later if you like.

Wow, really?? I’d love to Debs... as you know though with me it’s all a question if time, if I say give me until midnight Friday to write something acceptable, does that give you enough time to carry on without me?

Oh, wow, you are keen? Yay!

Yes, Friday gives me plenty of time, as I have a vague outline in my head anyway.

I'll email you the map and notes about one or two other bits of structure, so keep an eye out for it!

Debs, this is quite the most amazing set-up. A long way from my sort of world but that doesn't stop me appreciating your imagination and creativity.

I was immediately drawn to the hexagons of Hexton ... as a 'player with words', I thought 'hex' and wondered if Kriliah could discover (have slipped secretly into the supplies) a 'spell' (a hex) that activates under certain conditions, which spells danger for the travellers/Kriliah.

There is a real audience for this kind of imaginative world-building fantasy writing. The detail of your maps is super-impressive.

As a Leo it has to be my island home of Leopine as I’m missing my crystals and needing an Energy boost before heading off on a shopping trip!

Haha! I get that, shopping is energy draining. Thanks for the vote! 😊

Option 1 -- spacious and connected

Option 2 -- protective and watery

(I hope this is what you were looking for!)
