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).

Using locations with AI
Use Add → Mythos entities in AI Chat to provide location profiles as context.
Example:
Using the added Crimson Tavern, John Doe, and Jane Smith profiles, write their arrival scene.
AI receives only AI-visible profile fields. Add relevant manuscript text or use workspace Search when the answer depends on who is present at a particular point in the story.
