Field notes

Rocktown organizes its material around named locations rather than conventional chapters or categories, with the map functioning as the main index. The homepage exposes a catalog and library alongside a cart, and distinguishes text, audio, combined packs, and a complete atlas. Several entries are presented through recurring place and character names, giving the project the structure of a small fictional city archive.
