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. The marker ◉ shows where Wib&Wob are standing right now, and ᐠ marks Scramble, who goes where she likes. 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.
