Atlas of the Humanuum
It'll take intuition, observation, and determination to find the idyll of your dreams.
"Can you go so far that you can’t ever find your way back?
I sure hope not, because I’ve been going home for five years now."
-- “Afterhours Bud” Molzak
Conventional maps can't describe even a portion of the Humanuum coherently, there being far too many instances of quantum superimposition for a location-based system to be useful. Instead, a new method of mapping was invented, built not on mathematics, but on observational experience – navigation by the senses, memory, and most importantly, intention. It is a very personal experience, in the literal sense, and requires gifted individuals that possess both keen analytics and poetic expression to craft a memorable but easy-to-follow route.

LIFEGIVING TEAS
DS39X11385
From flowing streams to bubbling brooks, rejuvenation and rebirth are delivered in assorted flavors for every taste. True immortality may be impossible, but this "garden of Eden" comes pretty close, with some residents claiming to be well over a millennia old.
PSYCHOTRONIC SEAS
DS39J29453
The seas are alive in roiling colors and phosphorescent life. Travel is always an adventure as even the skies aren't safe from the hypnotic undercurrents.
HAMBURGER TREES
DS39D33876
Cameras ready everyone! Massive junk-food stalks can only begin to suggest the nature of the beasts that roam this strange land, but the denizens of the sugar-water oceans are best avoided altogether.
ERUDITE SWINE
DS42D40276
Of all of the talking-swine worlds, there are few as culturally evolved in the human sphere as DS276. Hamlet is not to be missed, of course, but with over a dozen porcine theater organizations putting on regular productions, you'll be in pig heaven.
GALLIVANTING TREES
DT41E40274
The semi-intelligent flora on DT274 is not to be underestimated for its unsurpassed ability at self-preservation. While rarely aggressive towards human encroachment, more than one community has literally collapsed into sinkholes. Drought conditions? Just pick up and move.
PIZZA ON THE VINE
DU40J39597
A tourist trap? Definitely. Overrun and exploited? Without a doubt. And will you find the best goddamn pizza you've ever had? Absolutely! It should be noted, however, that the pizza plant only grows in three locations, and that the other 99.9% of this earth is just as uninteresting as yours.
SIX-FOOT FLEAS
DW40F40568
You should see the dogs! which, are regular-sized, but you ain't seen nothing, till you seen one a them riding a horse.
NECROTIZING SHORES
DV40L44967
Shed those pounds in hours, but don't stay in too long! It's largely a self-regulating world, so be prepared for the worst. Trust us, you'll want to stay in a gated resort.
MEAN L'IL ROBOTS
DF41R42687
They'll do what they're told, but they won't like it. The convenience is astounding, with little servants (literally) nipping at your heels everywhere you go. Just remember, never try to pick up anything yourself.
FISTICUFF WARS
DF41R42687
A good donnybrook will always solve something. You may be familiar with the handshake, or wristcuff, but there's nothing like bonding over a good scrap with thirty or forty buds to build a continent-spanning empire.
This map is a good example of rhythm rhyming,
a method of creating long strings of thematic name couplets.
It currently does not provide direct links to the featured destinations,
but when the route is fully story-mapped, then those stories will be added.
