The Lost North

Books, Maps and Tales of the Lost North

See Gemlas Through Maps, Lore and History

Explore the world through hand-drawn maps, lost places, and the wider history of the Second World.

A classic, world-driven fantasy setting

The Lost North, A World of Fading Kingdoms

A quiet, Tolkien-inspired fantasy world shaped by memory, ruin, and fragile oaths. Two novellas, shorter tales... And more to come... To explore how old choices echo across the ages. Alongside the fiction, over a hundred hand-drawn pencil sketches and maps reveal the traces of a world still in the making.

This world has not been built all at once, but returned to again and again, maps redrawn, names revised, histories deepened over the course of many years. Some parts have followed me from one stage of life to another; others have changed completely as I have changed with them. What you see here is not a finished construct, but the current layer of a work that continues to grow alongside me.
