Maps

The Maps feature is the legacy 2D map editor. It is still available for flat maps, imported map art, floor plans, city layouts, and annotations.

For a sculptable terrain view with land and ocean tiles, landmarks, labels, and story pins, use the 3D World Builder.

Creating a Map

1. Go to the Maps section in the sidebar
2. Click + New Map
3. Give it a name and start creating

The Map Editor

The editor is built on a canvas (Fabric.js) that supports:

• Background images — Upload a map image as the base layer
• Background colors — Set a solid background color
• Drawing tools — Add elements on top of your base map

Saving

Maps are automatically saved as you work. The canvas state is stored as part of your project data.

Use Cases

• Draw or annotate a 2D map of your fantasy world
• Upload an existing map image and annotate it
• Create floor plans for important locations
• Map out a city’s districts and landmarks

Tips

• Start with a background image if you have one, then annotate on top
• Use maps alongside your Location codex entries for a complete picture
• Create multiple maps for different scales — world map, region map, city map
• Use the 3D builder for terrain and spatial visualization; use 2D maps when you need a flat reference image
