Panimálay: A World Imagined
Panimálay is the foundation of our creative work: a fully realised fantasy world shaped through geological logic, deep cultures, and long-form historical development. Built from tectonic plates upward, Panimálay evolves through research, mapmaking, and purposeful narrative design — creating a coherent, lived-in setting at the heart of the Explorer Chronicles.
What Panimálay Contains
- A complete planetary layout: continents, seas, mountain chains, climate systems, and natural formations shaped by realistic tectonics.
- Cultures shaped by environment, history, and belief: societies that grow in response to geography, climate, trade, conflict, and myth.
- Languages, naming systems, and oral traditions: structured linguistic roots, dialects, and cultural storytelling practices.
- Artifacts, myth cycles, and long-running historical eras: a deep timeline that influences current politics, religions, and identities.
- Maps, atlases, and visual references: geography and culture represented through evolving cartography, artistic styles, and explorer documentation.
Worldbuilding in Practice

The Whisper Stones began with a photograph of two real stones and evolved into a full myth-cycle.

Panimálay is a long-term project, expanding through fiction, guides, artwork, and ongoing development. It serves as the canvas upon which all Russell Street Press stories and resources rest.
We aim to launch our Patreon community in February 2026. There, readers and supporters will be able to participate directly in the ongoing development of Panimálay — contributing to a shared, living world built collaboratively with its audience.
