The map is made about 5000 years in the future, after nuclear fallouts and massive cataclysms. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Speaking of the arena, I haven't been able to get in. The Library of Ermarian also seems to be down. (Don't correct my spelling.) Before I check the Desperance main, is there a major problem at Desp? -------------------- "Oh, North Wind, why frighten others? In Nature's family all are brothers.

quote:I wasn't blaming you, sorry. I just thought the continents should all be joined together or have small straits of water inbetween, since Valorim is definitely connected by land to Pralgrad (this was in E3 ;) ). Can nuclear fallout really move continents? :eek: (btw, that's a pretty feeble way of writing an ø. how bout trying shift+alt with o?) Posts: 316 | Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00 |

Why is that feeble? And Shift Alt don't work for me, maybe coz I got a PC. I do it with the same thing I do the æ in encyclopædia and Alo's — with. & o slash ; : ø & O slash ; : Ø Nuclear fallout, move continents? I certainly don't think so, but the guys over at the arena seem to. Dunno. I don't like the idea of something so technological and SF-related *at all*, to be exact. This is fantasy, based on a medieval world that never makes technological process. There's magic, but no technology.

For the record, there's a new temporary arena board while the old one gets back up. http://pub54.ezboard.com/fthurylsrealmfrm5 Yes, it's an EZBoard. I know. Sorry. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

I find the EZboards make me wretch and puke. They must be the ugliest things to ever burn my eyes.

Well, the only board I've ever been on was a paid-for one, and it's the best I've ever seen on the web. I guess the free ones are not as good, but they can't be that bad... :eek: -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

The timelines on the first page of this topic seem a little bit weird to me when they say that the Hawthorne that sent Erika et al into Exile is not the same Hawthorne that she had assassinated. Is this actually based on some text from the A/E-trilogies or just something one of you made up? -------------------- Drama queens and long sigs suck. Cut the crap.

She actually says that she got sent down by the predecessor of the current Hawthorne, goes on to say that the current Hawthorne is even worse, and gives you the quest to assassinate him somehow. I know what you mean, I thought it would logically have to be the same one, but I played through Avernum again just recently in order to find out about this. It's actually in there. -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

It's not really html, I'd say, or it wouldn't work, right? :P Easiest way for me — if I don't know the code — is to go to Insert Symbol in Word. Problem is it usually gets changed to a ? when pasted here... :rolleyes: -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Sorry for the double post, but I believe two weeks is enough of a distance between them. :P Just for your information (assuming you haven't been keeping in touch with my site, which I know you didn't :P ), the History of the Empire chapters are all taken but one. Of course, the timeline of the emperors itself is not as steadily progressing... I think we left off from the original topic of this thread after TM's and *i's discussion of the Aizoan Empire. Which of their theories do you think I should put in? :confused: -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

I'd go with Stareye's. His ideas seem like less of a departure from Exile canon. (Let's face it; after what Jeff's said about them, the idea of elves in the Exile continuity stretches credibility.) -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

This is basically the part of history that is still unclear: quote:Assuming that this myth is true: -1000 BP is quite a long time from 150 BP, even for an immortal. When did Phrizoc make the Sylvian Amulet, was it made specifically for the ruler when the Empire was founded, was it made some time afterwards, or already long before? What does this say about the time of the Empire's founding - is it still 150 BP, or much earlier? -Was Phrizoc imprisoned before or after the collapse of the Aizonian Empire, and when did either of the two happen? Also: If the reconquest of Aizo is much later than 3 IE, where would you put it? You mention that Sol III accelerates the conquest of Pralgrad, but that is over a century after the new Empire was founded! Did he actually finish it, and if not, who did it? -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

I would put no definitive date on the Aizonic Empire. First evidences of its existence came about around 1000 BIE as the first real nation formed. However, it was very unstable with no fixed borders. Some evidence suggests by around 250 BIE, that Aizo was very loosely united in one Empire as kind of a confederacy of truce with several warring factions. By around 100 BIE, the Aizonic Empire pretty much was gone, torn apart by the civil wars of the warring factions that made it. There were many who would come to possess the amulet over much warring times. It's influence made the powers of the time. It was probably created before the first formations of the Aizonic Empire and its influence was very subtle. Nobody knows when the Phrizoc incident occurred, it is a myth. The best guests are around 100 BIE. I would put the full assimilation of Pralgad during the middle of the reign of Sol III. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

So the amulet (this isn't part of the myth, is it? Is its existence as debatable than the Phrizoc legend, or did it definitely exist?) was made long before the Aizonian Empire was founded? -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

I would not focus on the amulet of Phrizoc. It is a an obscure (although important) part of Imperial history. No one knows when it was created. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |
