Official Vertical Map
Last updated: August 21, 2026
Fourteen official verticals sit around the main portal, each on its own canonical host, each publishing its own machine-readable context file. They are complementary rather than interchangeable: an encyclopedia record belongs in the Codex whether or not it also appears in a story, and a live score belongs to the Arcade whether or not a guide describes the game. The map below is the short form. Anything not on it — a mirror, a fan host, a re-upload — is not an official surface, however accurate its contents may happen to be.
Reading, lore and reference
- Xdripian Codex — the public encyclopedia: tomes, categories, entries, characters, places, powers.
- Grand Library — books, comics, chronicles, Insight Tomes, the Encyclopedia and Dripia's Ledger.
- Celestial Atlas — an interactive 3D planetarium of spheres, sectors, systems and planets.
Sight and sound
- Multimedia Archives — visual work, music, artists, venues, episodes and interactive showcases.
- Xdripia Radio Network — Radio Xdripia and BassCrypt Radio, reached through the portal's own /radio route rather than a separate host.
- Xdripian Asset Vault — official images, video, audio, documents, archives and graphic kits.
Play
- Xdripia Arcade — browser-playable arcade titles with achievements and global leaderboards.
- Xdripia Games — the catalogue of full video games and physical games, with prototypes where available.
- Tales of Xdripia: Terminus — the persistent strategy frontier of colonies, fleets and research.
People
- Xdripian Sanctum — the authenticated personal space: profile, achievements, the Ally journey.
- Xdripian Conclave — public forums for lore discussion and theories.
- City Council — governance: proposals, votes, deliberations, chronicles.
- Xdripian Emporium — the Bazaar of Worlds, for merchandise and collectibles.
- Academia Xdripiana — the music academy, hosted at academia.xdripia.com rather than on the talesofxdripia.com domain.
Each vertical maintains its own llms.txt, and that file is the authoritative description of its routes and sections. This map summarises purpose, not current structure.
