What are Mythos locations?
Locations are entities in Mythos that track the settings where your story takes place—from taverns to kingdoms, with details about who's there and what events occurred.
Available in: Novel Workspace only
Creating locations
To create a location:
- Go to the World Entities board tab
- Click "New Location" or select "Location" from entity types
- Enter location details
Basic information:
- Name - Location's primary name
- Aliases - Alternate names or nicknames
- Photo - Upload a location image or map (max 10MB)
What Mythos tracks
Mythos automatically tracks information about your locations as you write:
Mentions
Every time the location is referenced in your manuscript, with document and context.
Who's currently there
Characters present at the location right now in your story.
Who has been there
Historical tracking of all character visits, when they occurred, and how many times.
Timeline
When events occur at each location throughout your story, organized chronologically.
Viewing location information
Location profile:
Open World Entities board tab → Click location → View all details and tracking
Select in editor:
Select a color-coded location → See who's currently there in the popup
Color coding
Assign colors to locations to see them highlighted throughout your manuscript.
How it works:
- Assign a color to a location
- Location mentions appear highlighted in that color
- Click the highlighted text to view location details and current characters
Parent color inheritance: Child locations can inherit colors from parent locations (e.g., all cities in a kingdom share the kingdom's color).
