Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap

Hello members of Lodan!
As more and more members join us the chance of location confusion might occur. Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to create a hesitant map of Lodan in hopes that it can be used for reference to others. That way, the places we have created in our threads can be used by other people which will help tie our community together.
I need your help thought! I can not read through every single thread and pull out every location created by you all. What I ask of you is to tell me in this thread where your characters live (minor NPC's do not matter unless they own a building) and what places you have used in your threads in Lodan.
For example, a submission that would be most helpful would look like this:
Central Square: Stephen Leland's home. (End of the street. Large in size.) Miss Ciasom's Fashion Boutique in the Market place of Central Square Dr. Flitloch ownes a medical practice house in the Market place of Central Square
Theater District: 2 pubs (no name given)
Sky and Sea Port: Wilons: a restaurant by the docks
Merchant's district: Clancy's gun shop (next to Iaco's shop, across from Vieka's) Pastery shop Zona's house
NPC's who own a house do not specifically need their name written in the map unless they are a major side character.
Thank you all for your help! I will submit a hesitant draft of the map once I get most of the information down. Thanks again!

I only have two locations, both of which are homes owned by my characters. Merchant’s district: Lasair’s home which is also a jewelry shop (no specific location given; not nearby to any other characters' shops) Edgar’s barber shop (down the far end of the street from Clancy’s, located on the corner of the next street)
Good luck with the map, and I’d be happy to help however if you need assistance

Central Square: Edelweiss Fjäril's family house (relatively small compared to manors around, building from "Clockwork House" thread; currently not inhabited)
Theater District: Broken clocktower Lockberry Bar (large, neat pub one corner away from the Main Theater. Owner is a retired assassin) Eden Bridge (large dorms for the informants and general workers of CAEsAL. Not actually a bridge) Three general storage/deposits where the circus peeps keep things (back border of the Theater District) Edelweiss Fjäril's apartment. Catacombs (underground, not as deep as Eryn's Unlodan)
Slums: Edel's late grandparent's home (edge of the slums meeting the better rest of Lodan. A large but rather run down building that is currently not inhabited other than by stray cats and birds.)
Slums: the Campbell manner (Ratna's home) Graveyard (poor people gaves)
Extra: Unlodan: (this is under all parts since its the swears and each part has a big chamber where people used to live , only accessible from access shaffs and the swears itself )
hope this helps

Ok... I think I only have a few places... like two
Merchants District Keefe's art shop/home (Corner store across the street and down a few houses from Clancy's and Iaco's shops) Zona's place (down the street and around the corner from a small shopping district like thing, alleyway on the left side of house) Shopping Street (Small street long shopping district like thing with carts and stores on both sides of the street that sells mainly food and some clothing, around the corner and down the street from Zona's place)
Theater District Ollie's Pub (No where specific just the bar Zona is likely to be at (never actually said the name of this place but better late than never)) Bab's (Another bar, several streets away from Ollie's and the theater)
Peasants Hovel Burned shack (Zona's old house, burned house that fell/broke down and is now a pile of sad old house, down in an old alleyway off in a divot like thing on the side of the alley, no place specific)
...Well I thought of a few more places... Oh and did you want any places out in the outskirts region, or in the forest?
Merchant's District -> Amon's toy shop (Amon's Automatons). Sort of in the middle of the district, along the main street across from Gabe's clock store. (mentioned numerous times) -> Large warehouse somewhere near Amon's shop. Houses various tools, workshops, materials, etc. for larger projects (not mentioned anywhere yet, but Amon needs a place for his eventual steam mechs)
Other -> Suburbs/farmland outside of Lodan reside Amon's mom and father figure (mentioned in his profile) -> Also outside of Lodan is the site of the portal the Anderswelters came through (mentioned in the various history/faq's, as well as in the Clockwork Compendium)
Reminder, there is also Viktor's shop, but I doubt Addison/Viktor will be back anytime soon...
That's all I got for now. I'll edit this some more if I think of something/need to clarify anything. Just message me away.

oh wow, thats a lot to think about and major Kudos to you for tackling this!
*The barons estate not far from the Lelands in the Central Square
*The Donya farm (clairee's family home) which is on the edge of the city, between borderland forest and the entertainment district in my mind. They're away from most everything bc thats how they have the space to farm.
I think the rest of anything I created is actually canon in the "mandatory reading before postin in this part of the forums" threads pinned to the top of each area.

Thanks everyone! Alonzo K. Ruxton , depending on what the places are, I might add them in. I wasn't planning on going into depth on what is in the forest since it seems a bit of an unexplored mystery to most of the Lodanners but I think I can try and plot out a few things and still keep they mysterious aspect of the area
Thank you once again to everyone! If you know other places that Lodan characters have but are unable to post here at the moment, add them to the description
Vieka's home and clinic 'Sanctuary' (Quiet edge of district, right by the sea ports district, hence all the stray cats.)
Theatre district
Tikkersprokits emporium of gizmos and gadgets (Vieka's dads joint.)
Outdoor dance pub with live music 'Exotic Rose'.
I think that's everything of worth, Vie doesn't exactly go out a lot so... Also, there was a very rough map cait drew some time ago, hence why i say vie's place is right by the sea ports; i can't seem to find it anymore though =/
