Field notes
The route shelf gives each journey a distance and stop count, from the 56-mile Canterbury pilgrimage to Phileas Fogg’s 23,000-mile circuit. The page says routes follow real geography where the story permits and are hand-drawn for fictional places. A displayed Odyssey excerpt names its translator and unlock location, illustrating how the page intends to connect text to place.
