Decoding the Map of Marco Pollo

About

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...

Special Thanks

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.
