Maps
Photo-realistic museum-artifact renderings — the maps you'd find on a Lapa desk, a Coimbra refectory table, a captain's situation wall.
☰ The Spiral Continuum
Nine parchment-stylized canonical maps with full place-name detail ship inside the free supplement PDF (v1.0.0). The artifact renderings on this page are mood-pieces; the PDF is the source.
The overall map
Every site, every path, every life-journey across the eight volumes — rendered as a captain's wall map pinned to dark oak.
The series timeline
Master chronological timeline, rendered as an aged refectory-table scroll.

KDP forbids mixed B&W and color in a single paperback interior. The interior books are B&W; the maps and timeline are color. Hosting them as a free supplement preserves the color rendering and keeps the printed book at a reasonable price.
