Hello! My name's Bowl of Wyrms and you might have seen me floating around Discord, Twitter, Reddit and Tumblr. On my Tumblr blog, I typically post lore I find throughout Wizard101 and Pirate101, especially about the animals of the spiral, which now also exists as an encyclopedia!
Decoding the Map of Marco Pollo is a handy dandy website I created in order to decipher and understand Marco Pollo's map from Pirate101. On this site I'll explain all different parts of the map, how best to understand them, what theories I have, and what still needs to be uncovered! I recommend going through the site in the order of the pages (listed in the top left corner of this page) because I tend to build on the material as I go along. There's also a lot of information to digest, which is the main reason why I organized everything into a website rather than a Reddit post, so take your time as you go along! I've been working on Decoding the Map of Marco Pollo for about 2 years now; I've poured hours of research and gameplay into these series, and I would really appreciate it if you guys shared this website amongst the Pirate and Wizard101 communities! Who knows, maybe even KingsIsle will confirm or deny some of these theories...
Though I put this site together myself, I couldn't have gotten most of the key information without the help of a couple people online. I want to specifically thank Jones Ross (@grandchasmfuture on tumblr) for helping me decipher the Nidavellir Message and for getting the HD picture of the Concept Map. I also want to thank Bryan Lian, an artist at KI, for emailing us this HD picture of the map.
Also, all of the information that I borrowed or got from other sources can be found via direct links scattered throughout the site.
