    Hi Godon and welcome to the guild.

    I am trying to write a fantasy series as well (planned 6 books, not 30 ). Somewhere in book 3 I started to lose track of things as well. I then started doing stuff I should have done before even starting this project... so to keep track of things I did this:

    - Created several overland maps
    - Created a huge regional map
    - Created more than a dozen city maps
    - Created a synopsis of the history before the story
    - Created a synopsis of the entire story I would like to tell
    - Created an outline of the story for each book
    - Created an encyclopedia of the world, containing dozens of pages, describing culture, characters, economy, strange beasts, cities and other concepts. I set it up as a Wiki. When inventing new stuff as I am writing, I add this to the encyclopedia.
    - All mayor characters have had their portrait commissioned
    - The first two novels I had printed as books and I can easily grab them from a shelf and look up stuff

    Now I don't need to keep track of things in my head anymore

    Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
