The Maps

MAPS

C = Continent (Used Liberally)

N = Nation

P = Place

L = Location

H = Hollow

R = Realm

Color grouped together because I ran out of ways to organize lol if it's the same color consecutively and it's a place under a nation, location under a place etc. its within the above and this is true until a higher title is named.

These are ALL hand drawn bc I did not want to fuck with a computer about this and as of 4/14/2026 I am currently trying to figure out the smartest way to go about uploading them. Bear with me

I've done all this shit but haven't named the planet IM DOING MY BEST 😭

The Masterdoc above is just gonna be all the maps in one big file, this is for specified use and also maybe for me a little bit

CAQ

Why don't you have a map for ___ or why isn't ___ in this?

Whenever I created this AU and plotted it out I told myself I wasn't going to add in everything that got updated in these games. Do you know how often the combination of FOUR gacha games updates? It's a lot. Some things I will add in, some things I will completely and utterly ignore. If I've drawn the map already, that shit is NOT going in. Sorry Mondstadt I already filled in the blanks by the time you updated (A DECADE LATE BTW). Sometimes there just isn't room for a character unless in passing I have a PACKED cast and a PACKED world. Major country updates will probably get added like La Hairoy or Planarcadia, but also at a certain point I'm just gonna want to not deal LMAO.

What is a Hollow?

Hollow is a term I'm pulling from ZZZ and kind of twisting for my use but shockingly it's not that far off from its original purpose and design. A Hollow is a extradimensional space (think TARDIS so bigger on the inside) that can form naturally, 'grown', or manifested into existence. It's is a psychically corrosive area with varying levels of danger depending on which Hollow you're in. Hollows can be used recreationally without danger, but only in the cases of a manifested Hollow and it MUST be the manifester or a blood relation.

What's going on with Hollows?

Inside a Hollow there is a focal point, natural Hollows focal points don't really mean too much other than a high volume of Ethereals. A grown Hollow is one that was born out of an area of sheer violence (war sites, genocide, etc) and its focal point can include the original victims of the site attacking you as mania (greek ghost that died painfully specifically in this case but they can be born of other things too). A manifested Hollow is one created, usually by one person who usually functions as the focal point. An immortal of any flavor (lol) can manifest one and it is born from some form of distress, sadness, rage, murderous intent, you get it. It can also be forcefully manifested by inciting those feelings in someone and binding them there but that's for another time. A focal point is always where the highest level of danger both psychically and physically.

Why do some Hollows have another name next to it?

Hollows can form inside another Hollow. Hollowception.

You put Hollow Phantylia twice?

Some Hollows have a really cool and fun feature where you enter them one place and leave them another. If you know EXACTLY what you're doing you can work around this, otherwise it's a really cool way to die!

Some Hollows have names that make them sound like they should be somewhere else?

So true girl, there's a plot reason! And also a little bit of left over worldbuilding from when they were all gonna be literally smashed together lol. But Hollows aren't named for what's around them, they're named for what's inside.

Why did you make Hollows so confusing?

I hate myself.

When you say using Continent liberally...?

I am earnestly playing fast and loose with the definition of it. I am making that shit up. It's more like I'm grouping the locations together by game because ORIGINALLY I was gonna overlap them into one big mess but then I realized...I don't hate myself THAT much. Anyway sorry scientists who are reading this I'm just doing whatever here.

That's a lot of maps! I can't help but notice some unfamiliar names?

They're just the things I felt needed to be drawn out. There is more. There is always more 😭 I invented the FUCK out of Halovia boy oh boy was it work.

How long is this going to be?

If it weren't fanfiction I could make it a fucking book series. Tragically while I'm doing all the work for a new concept I decided to make it about the blorbos in my phone that want my money.

If this isn't ACTUALLY Greek why are you including the Greek names?

They still hold value in my fucked up little world also would you really make me create ALL new names. That would probably be impossible without branching into another mythology. Would you really do that to me. I'm just a baby.

I share your blorbos, will I like what comes next?

That depends 😃 Some of the blorbos have been warped by the world they're in, some of them have been warped by me and my headcannons that have been evolving for years now, some of them die, some of them develop very serious sanity issues- probably not 😬 You're probably not gonna like what happens next BUT!!! When did a little angst hurt somebody? The blorbo was meant to be put in the washing machine then directly into the dryer. Trust.

Are you not the promiser rather than the deliverer of fics?

LISTENNNNNN. Okay not only has this been stewing for like. At least two years. I've got an evil @zeleneagle on my shoulder about the whole damn thing and @dead-finch-420 lets me rant at them (also my beta readers!) so I can't quit until AT LEAST one arc is complete. But I mean yes. I do be lyin'

Will this be complicated?

For something serious I format it like most authors do, blending it with the paragraph with certain sentences standing on their own, the standouts or important turning points in a conversation. We'll use an argument for the purpose of this post:

By this point, Susan had moved from across the living room into the kitchen to continue her tirade, "-and another thing! You even had the audacity to lie to me about it!" Emily found herself standing straighter in indignation "I did not! You didn't ask!" Scoffing Susan settled back in her stance "Omission is still lying". Was it? Or did she just want something to pick at? Opening her mouth again like a little idiot who hadn't learned her lesson, Emily talked her way to the couch-

"Well maybe I would've told you if you weren't so unreasonable."

And just like that, she had lost the fight as Susan's face turned from angry to frigid.

Forgive the punctuation (I am fond of run ons), but my point stands. For paragraphs, I do admittedly find it hard to split the dialogue up in a way that isn't repetitive, I tend to describe what the characters are doing while they speak before they do, sometimes if the dialogue is super long ill split it using - to describe several actions or even putting a thought in between or a background occurrence (a friend pulling out a phone or whispering or backing away, the cat getting into trouble, the weather, etc.).

In general I actually do not like doing what I did up there, having constant dialogue, I tend to lean towards have a lot of descriptions, explanations, and thoughts in between words as when I'm speaking my mind is running very fast to figure out what I'm saying and what I really mean or want to say but can't because social rules. There's also a fun thing I do where I will put a dialogue down and then immediately after put a thought exactly negating whatever they said because they don't mean what they said.

It's very hard to blend dialogue in paragraph for me as well actually, it's one of the most difficult things about writing for me- dialogue. It's hard because sometimes dialogue becomes out of character just by using the wrong descriptor for what they're doing, the words may be right but maybe the way you're describing the body language is just wrong, maybe the words are right but the reason they're saying them would never happen or it would stay an inside thought.

Another thing about formatting dialogue is that if there is a lot of dialogue you really really need to split paragraphs earlier because it can be tiresome and even difficult to read. If there isn't a lot of rapid fire dialogue then paragraphs can run a little longer but also splitting a paragraph is integral to the formation of a conversation.

Multi-paragraph conversations need to be comprehensible, and by that I mean you need to group parts of the conversation in a way that makes sense per paragraph. Beginning a paragraph with dialogue is personally a no-no for me. It just looks wrong. Splitting certain parts of a conversation or topic is also wonky. See what I did here? Splitting this off where I did into a new paragraph feels odd, what I'm talking about applies to what I was talking about above, so why did I split it anyways? Because I knew this was going to be a bigger paragraph, and large paragraphs can discourage people from reading what you've written. The topic of a conversation and its stages are important, it's like the topic of an essay, keep it together unless it's is strategically chaotic (ADHDer conversation, ifykyk).

I like to split conversations by what I call grouping. If I feel a character has talked too much, I start a new paragraph, and they start their count over. If I think the stage of the conversation (beginning, rising, apex, falling, end) is over, I start a new paragraph. If I think a phrase is so important that italics isn't enough to showcase it, it gets its own line and then I start a new paragraph, if they're switching topics entirely I start a new paragraph. If the conversation is short, I either keep in one or two paragraphs (beginning and rising then apex, falling, and end; for two) or I use one liners back and forth.

Sometimes a conversation will repeat a stage, especially in fights as someone is likely to bring something else up when losing a fight which makes it look more like: Beginning, Rising, Apex, Rising, Apexpt.2, Falling, Flatline, Falling, End (flatline being the first apex and matching that energy for a while) and during a sad conversation you can also hit what I call a rock bottom conversation which looks more like; Beginning, Apex, Falling, Falling, Falling, Flatline, End. Or if a conversation is going in circles you just stay at Flatline for a long time- you get it.

Going back to where to put dialogue, the beginning is a no no for me personally, putting dialogue at the end of a paragraph is kind of a weird exception to the rule, as in sometimes its okay. Really depends on the vibe tbh, but most of the dialogue needs to be in the body. Formatting can also kind of change depending on who is talking, like rapid fire speakers have a lot of split dialogue "blalddjd-" somethings going on in between "-sofnrissi" as they're hard to interrupt while slow talkers have the same thing but longer descriptions or breaks in between them as they take forever and if they interrupt they might start over.

For more silly stuff I do line by line, the lack of knowledge of what's going on while they speak tends to make it more humorous (at least to me):

"So you and Dave are going out apparently"

"What"

"You and Dave. Rude of you not to tell me"

"What the fuck are you talking about"

"I just think that as your best friend, I should get to know about this stuff first, but whatever"

"Debbie."

"It just hurt my feelings, okay?"

"Debbie, I am not going out with Dave"

"Yes, you are"

"No, I am not"

"Stop lying! Everyone knows"

"Debbie, I literally have no idea what you are talking about, I am not dating Dave"

"Oh. Well, everyone thinks you are"

"Why"

"Because Dave is telling everyone you're dating"

"WHAT"

-

Silly stuff is one of the rare moments where I'll forgive an all caps dialogue as well, it's where you can just put the words on there and not worry about anything else going on. The absence of movement makes it harder for people to think in absolute logic of what's going on which makes it easier for people to find things funny as in writing funny things can be hard to hit because a lot of people are just thinking 'that's not possible' but if you want to use the paragraph formation you can I tend to use more outrageous word choice or action descriptors to make it seem more ridiculous.
