Wer vorkommt

• EElias Thorne

  Elias Thorne is a reclusive cartographer whose intricate maps don't just depict reality; they create it. When islands he's drawn begin appearing in the physical world, he's forced to confront the profound, and potentially catastrophic, implications of his unique gift.

• DDr. Aris Thorne

  Dr. Aris Thorne is Elias's retired theoretical physicist grandfather, who possesses a quiet understanding of Elias's unique gift. He subtly guides Elias, hinting at a family legacy of reality-shaping abilities, while guarding secrets about his own past connection to such phenomena.

• LLena Petrova

  Lena Petrova is a pragmatic oceanographer initially skeptical of the reports of new, uncharted islands. Her scientific curiosity is piqued by anomalous geological data, drawing her into Elias's world and forcing her to confront phenomena beyond conventional understanding.

• SSilas Blackwood

  Captain Silas is a seasoned fishing boat captain who discovers an uncharted island that precisely matches Elias's recent drawing. Initially bewildered, his report to local authorities inadvertently triggers the wider investigation into Elias's cartographic anomalies.

• CCaptain Silas

  A gruff but kind-hearted fisherman who discovers one of Elias's new islands and becomes an unwitting early witness to the phenomenon.

Wo es spielt

• EElias's Clifftop Studio

  A small, weathered stone cottage perched precariously on a cliff overlooking the sea, with large windows offering panoramic ocean views. Inside, it's filled with maps, drafting tools, inkpots, and books.

• TThe Uncharted Island (Unnamed)

  A rugged, rocky island, initially barren, with sharp cliffs and nascent tidal pools, matching Elias's recent map. Over time, it shows signs of geological activity and initial, sparse vegetation.

• DDr. Thorne's Study

  A room within Dr. Thorne's home, crammed with ancient maps, esoteric physics texts, journals, and scientific instruments. It smells of dust, old paper, and pipe tobacco.
