Pywel Regional Directory
A region-by-region field-record template linking settlements, services, travel, strongholds and unresolved exploration.
This directory turns regional exploration into a consistent audit. It does not promote an incomplete map into a claimed full-world list.
Regional record
Section titled “Regional record”For every supported region, record:
- official region name;
- first supported access;
- settlements and service hubs;
- activated Abyss Nexus points;
- strongholds and liberation state;
- wagon workshops and trading posts;
- sanctums, spires, ruins and Abysses;
- known faction or quest blockers;
- patch and evidence status.
Survey order
Section titled “Survey order”- Enter through a known route.
- Activate the nearest supported travel point.
- reveal map information;
- visit the primary settlement;
- record services;
- identify strongholds and world activities;
- preserve inaccessible areas as blocked;
- return after story-state changes.
Status language
Section titled “Status language”| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Verified | Name and function are supported |
| Partial | The place exists but services or route are incomplete |
| Blocked | Current story or issue state prevents verification |
| Research | Evidence exists but is not sufficient to publish |
| Retired | A prior location claim was disproved or renamed |
Patch-aware mapping
Section titled “Patch-aware mapping”Patch history has added and moved Abyss Nexus points, corrected shop markers and changed liberated locations. Every coordinate or route must carry a patch baseline.
Patch 1.16 fixed a Tailor’s Shop icon mismatch and changed the liberated state of Marni’s Laboratorium. Older screenshots can therefore be geographically correct but operationally stale.
Safe exploration
Section titled “Safe exploration”- keep a recent manual save;
- do not use inaccessible terrain as a route;
- verify fast travel after activation;
- record mount and wagon restrictions separately;
- distinguish a map icon from a working service;
- avoid declaring a region complete from revealed fog alone.
Controlled unknowns
Section titled “Controlled unknowns”Pearl Abyss has not published a single complete directory of every region, service, stronghold and activity. The live Atlas remains the canonical accepted set; new entries require evidence review.
