#kcd world

It wasn’t supposed to go this far. Not even close. And yet here they are, still riding.

This is everything so far — all four series, the vignettes, the maps. A record of where they've been, and who they've become along the way.

Whether you've been with them since the beginning, or you're only now finding your way in — welcome.

There may still be road ahead.

Epilogue

Maybe you've wondered, while reading — what did Henry actually see when he looked east from the rock, toward Kozakov? Which way did Jitka ride with Thomas and Lukas when the road turned toward Lautschky?

Here's the estate. Klokotsch, the castle, the manor, the pond at Loktush, the Stebenka winding through the valley.

And here — zoomed out — is where it sits in Bohemia.

Far north. Far from Rattay and everything that came before. Deep in what's called Český ráj — the Bohemian Paradise. Not just forest and sandstone: old volcanic country, where the hills have a different weight to them. Trosky itself — those two towers KCD2 players know so well — rises from the necks of extinct volcanoes. From its ramparts, on a clear day, you can see the rock above Klokotsch, where the castle once stood.

Henry's land begins roughly where the game's world ends.

Names shift. Distances stretch or shrink as the story needs them. The ground beneath it is real.

Henry didn't choose it. The king gave it to him.

If you’ve read and enjoyed Weight of a Name series, maybe you’ve wondered — where is Foxburrow, really?

Here’s a real-world map, overlaid with key locations from the series.

When I write their stories, I need everything to be anchored in something real — geographically, historically. I take liberties, sure: names shift, distances shrink or stretch. But the bones are real. The rivers, the forests, the paths they ride — they’re all there.
