## 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:** 1. Go to the **World Entities** board tab 2. Click "New Location" or select "Location" from entity types 3. 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:** 1. Assign a color to a location 2. Location mentions appear highlighted in that color 3. 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).
