Map of Nonsense and Spheres
Hello there, my Cosmic Crabs.
I hope all your golden barges are full of not‑stolen goods from your adventures across the Humpbacked Sky!
Remember to give a share of your findings to the Autarch or else...
Below are two variations of a Troika astral map I’ve been working on for a Sphere hopping campaign. The current working titles are “The Big Peel” or simply “The Peel.”
The (very wavy and not‑at‑all concrete) lore so far is this: a marvellously huge celestial ape once took a pit stop here during its journey across the Humpbacked Sky and left behind the peel of a sacred potassium fruit. From this single act of cosmic littering, the spheres — and a great deal of celestial nonsense — were born.
- Notice that the banana peel shape is more visible above ^ than it is below... need to do some tweaking...
I like to imagine that spheres can be dimensional spaces, planets, realms, or the space between spaces. Or all at once and nothing at all. What I love most about Troika is the adaptability and imagination that can be applied.
I wanted to add some weird eye catching features like hidden star-rays that migrate through the Indigo Spool, searching for swelling pools of Astral Plankta and other void‑borne microlife.
Plankton are the most Troika thing:

If you like the look of these maps then try Inkarnate yourself! Or other mapping tools such as Wonderdraft or even the humble HB pencil and the back of a scrap Tesco receipt could be a map. I am sure reddit has many other map tool names and suggestions!
Thanks again for reading. Also - sneaky Porcelain Leviathan...
