- Its terrain uses one heightmap, seed 869884; natural-history entries are graded “proven, plausible, unwritten.”
Field notes
The site divides the project into named rooms, including “The Charting,” which records how the world was made, and “Tessamar, As She Stands,” which presents its current state. The homepage says the natural history has five entries, from the Marsh Flat to three threads on the northeast island. It also identifies the terrain as a single heightmap and gives its seed, making the map’s underlying construction unusually legible.
