Dawnhaven Map Framework
Added 2025-12-28 01:47:46 +0000 UTCI used ChatGPT to summarise and create a comprehensive list of locations in Dawnhaven mentioned in Book 1, and qualified some things that were left more ambiguous as well. If anyone can use a program to create a map using this guidance, it would be greatly appreciated, and I'll reward you with 3 months of Patreon membership if you do a good job.
Note: A good job means it's accurate and clearly readable, not haphazard and rushed.
