Reader note: These are broad narrative regions from the novel. The marker states are fictional story terms, not real-world case classifications, and the locations are not directions to sacred or private sites.
Text Ledger

Seven story markers

The map is optional. The full narrative ledger remains readable below if scripts, third-party libraries, or map tiles are unavailable.

01

Hollow Pin

Northern Alberta · fictionalized

A recurring location in Marc’s story, where the ledger begins to narrow and the warning becomes personal. The exact real-world location is intentionally withheld.

02

Great Lakes Corridor

Great Lakes · broad story region

The schoolhouse and threshold material: a warning reduced by the system to clean procedural language.

03

The Iron Ring Landing

Northern Ontario · broad story region

A fictionalized landing shaped around hunger, restraint, law, and records that make violence sound administrative.

04

Pope Street / Essex County

Essex County · story location

A saved location appears without Marc asking for it, pushing the ledger toward another crossroads. The map position is approximate.

05

Flood Channel Ring

California · fictionalized story site

The pattern moves into a modern urban setting: controlled hunger, obedience, and a coordinate that feels more like an invitation than evidence.

06

The Crossroads Iron

United Kingdom · composite story region

A composite marker about famine, accusation, punishment, and the power of labels to turn fear into procedure.

07

The Red Route

Australia · composite story region

The map expands across shipping routes, penal records, and colonial hunger, forcing Marc to ask whether the global pattern is evidence or bait.

Story markers are approximate narrative regions only. They do not identify private property, sacred sites, or verified supernatural events.
