The style used in the map departs from traditional methods of accurately charting landmasses and routes; instead, it aims for simplicity. It has been inspired by the highly stylised representations of real-life transportation networks, characterised by straight lines, highly simplified geographic features and regularly spaced nodes.

Definition of mass transit
Non-instantaneous methods of transportation carrying several concurrent commuters and provided without charge.Note that:
- Walking and mounting do not fall under this definition because they have not been 'provided' to the person in question.
- Orbs of Translocation do fall under this definition because of the cast time involved in using one.
