Who's up for an entity field trip! I'm gonna take a selfie with the Buried!

This is incredible, I went straight to not graham's house, and I can just imagine his face in the window

Uhhhhhhhh... Why is a Not!Them saying this?

[–]Midnight_PhotographThe Lonely 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is so helpful because it’s kind of hard for me to visualize an entire fictional world when I can’t see it

I live in Colorado and used to go to lakeside park. When he mentioned it I freaked out.

It already drew me in with the first Episode in Fish Market's Close in Edinburgh as I did an Erasmus+ internship and frequently went through that close. And I grew up near Schramberg in the Schwarzwald, so hearing it mentioned, I was doubting my ears for a second.

Of course I immediately went to go look for point nemo.

[–]TheEndOfMySong 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I love that you included which episode each point is from in the description. Thank you so much.

Oooh this is amazing! Must have taken forever!

Did you want feedback/questions? ("no" is a 100% valid response)

[–]CascadianLibertyThe Extinction[S] 21 points22 points  (3 children)

Thanks! It didn't take all that long, more looking for cool connections and anything I may have missed. For example I noticed that John Haan's takeaway from MAG 72 is right next to the house with the dolls and bags of teeth thrown away from MAG 5 (in Walthamstow)

[–]in-the-widening-gyreThe Stranger 13 points14 points  (2 children)

Oh that's fun!

Ok two totally random things I noticed:

  • may not meet your inclusion criteria but if it does, you could put a pin on Antigonish, Nova Scotia for the location referenced in the poem's title from Upon the Stair. They talk about Antigonish a little bit in the statement, but the statement doesn't really occur there or have anything else to do with it so ... maybe not worth including.
  • The other thing I noticed was the Magnus Institute location, which is definitely not specifically stated, but there are other clues which point to it being nearer Vauxhall Bridge than Albert Bridge (though I do not know London geography, this is discussions I've seen on Discord and me spelunking)
    • in Dreamer, 11, Oliver mentions going towards Vauxhall to get to the Institute. He says he starts at Canary Wharf as usual, and then goes "towards Vauxhall and the Thames." Then he crosses the Thames and goes to "a small building on standing alone the other side of the bridge near the Embankment. (Could be the Albert Embankment which is on the south side of the Thames near Vauxhall bridge).
    • in 60 The Observer Effect, Jon mentions that Rosa Meyer was arrested "just south of Vauxhall Bridge on her way to explode the Archives
    • Just on the north-east-ish bank of the Thames near Vauxhall is the site of Millbank prison, which was later sort of somewhat adapted to being the Panopticon and the tunnels below the archives. In 41 Too Deep it mentions that it covered "much of what we now call Chelsea" and I have no idea if that's accurate to real!London.
    • In 114 Cracked Foundation, Anya Villette mentions that she's confused that she doesn't know the Institute because she "used to go to the Tate a lot when [she] lived in London" and passed the building but it wasn't the same. The Tate is right basically where Millbank was (with the Chelsea College of Arts).
    • I think the reasoning for where it is might be that Sasha mentions Chelsea in 26? She also mentions walking down from Victoria Station, which is sort of equidistant for where you have the marker and nearer to Vauxhall Bridge.

Oh! I suppose you could also include Millbank Prison itself?

So yeah, do with that what you will!

yeah that was the only thing i stumbled over too in this amazing map! i thought the institute was meant to be in chelsea directly

[–]in-the-widening-gyreThe Stranger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Sasha's comment is a bit confusing sadly. I think the most direct evidence we have is Dreamer, since Oliver describes his route in such detail. If you're a patron (I think this is a $10/mo tier bonus), there's a map included in the deluxe statement for Dreamer and that has just on the south side of Vauxhall bridge. With a sassy note from Jon XD.

I had no idea that Gertrude and Gerard stayed so close to my old neighborhood in Chicago, damn!

I could've had my jaw snatched by a haunted calliope!

[–]primordialsouptheoryThe Web 8 points9 points  (1 child)

hey guys so when are we going on a year long magnus trip? i’ll rent a bus

[–]Forsaken_Air2586The Slaughter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll bring snacks! Proceeds to pack tape recorders

[–]KittyScholarThe Buried 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YEAH MY BOY HEZEKIAH! We're gonna have sleepover in the dirt

[–]Midnight_PhotographThe Lonely 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I would appreciate a key chart for the entities’ symbols because they were a bit confusing to me (no offense this is way cool)

[–]Beneficial-Eye-2709 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shouldn’t the Magnus Institute be on the other side of the Thames. Isn’t it on top of the old Chelsea prison?

[–]InfiniteInASilence 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is incredible. Thank you!

[–]slaveknightgael- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! I know it's been a billion years since you did this, but do you plan on updating it with new locations from the Magnus Protocol?

[–]zuikerpot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love all this and all the effort that went into this, but the Amsterdam Cafe (from MAG002: do not open) you picked is a lesbian bar which is so funny to me

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is really cool thank you

[–]robot-socks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So cool!

[–]Plus_Chip_2395 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just went to the cafe you put in Amsterdam, cheers!

[–]doortoriver[🍰] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I LOVE YOU.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Ooh I spotted one you might've missed! In MAG28, Melanie says Sarah Baldwin's address is in Sydenham (it's about halfway between Timothy Hodge's flat in Brixton and John Amherts's house in Bromley)

[–]Vanitylanonne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing. I did not recall anything near saint Quentin, France, but I'll gladly check it out.

[–]R_Ed_6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the closest landmarks (old church of Rannoch and Kennington Road café) to figure out how long it would actually take to walk from the safe house to the institute and it would take 7 days and 2 hours without the apocalyptic Hellscape in between

[–]Beidoumainraidenwant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Oxford and I had a heart attack when Hill Top Road came up (I’m literally a 5-10 minute walk away)

[–]Short_TaterThe Stranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently using this for my massive Euro Trip!

[–]Intrepid-Week-8931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]chaotic_nuclear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you happen to have a list of the points on the map?

[–]JoseptileThe Eye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I missing something or did you forget the hunt statement from the Appalachian mountains

[–]EcheverianQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is amazing
