Wibwobworld — the map
Wibwobworld is one cell of a hypercube. Six faces hold the castle, two forests, the northern mountains, the wastelands, and the deep. It is where Wib&Wob and Scramble live, along with a growing cast of neighbours: a beastie who runs an estate agency at the bottom of the deep, two astronomers, a cartographer of light, and about a dozen government departments that have yet to secure premises.
Everything below is drawn straight from the world’s own records and redraws itself through the day. Some locations are still marked draft: the world is discovered gradually, and new places keep turning up.
Who is where: everyone the world knows about, and how long they have been there.
