StoryCodexStory Map: Journey, Atlas, and Relationships in One View
Three visual ways to understand your story: the Journey route, the Atlas of places, and the Relationships network. A feature tour with examples.
Long stories are geography: who moved where, who met whom, which faction holds which city. Story Map turns that geography visual with three linked views built from the same Codex data: Journey, Atlas, and Relationships.
Journey: the route through your story
Journey lays out the story's key stops in reading order, connected like a route. Drag through it to revisit the sequence of locations and events as the author wrote them. It is the closest thing to a plot chart that stays spoiler safe, and it is the recommended view when you want to remember how the cast got from where they started to where they are.
Atlas: the world, spatially
Atlas places the world's locations on a spatial canvas. Each place shows its context: who rules it, who is currently here, and what the story has done there so far, with a trace route between stops. It answers the question fantasy readers ask in every epic: wait, how far apart are these two cities again?
Relationships: the network behind the plot
Relationships renders the characters as a network graph, with edges for the connections the story has actually established. Scrub through the timeline to watch the network grow: allies become rivals, strangers become family, and the graph records the moment it happened, with chapter references.
Which view answers which question
| View | Use it when you ask |
|---|---|
| Journey | What is the sequence of where the story has been? |
| Atlas | Where is everything, and who holds it? |
| Relationships | How did these characters become connected? |
Practical uses
- Before a new volume: check Journey to recall the arc you are continuing.
- While reading political fantasy: keep Atlas open to remember which house rules which keep.
- After a plot twist: visit the network graph and trace the edge back to its chapter of origin.
- Onboarding: the bundled demo book arrives with a fully built Story Map, so try all three views before your own library is big enough to map.
