Read the descriptions of Avernum 1, Avernum 2, and Avernum 3. At that point, Luz's maps and the Encyclopedia Ermariana can probably fill in the rest of the details. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Hawk King, I really don't see why he should do that. They're two very different questions, and this one in particular often spawns some debate about what should be accepted for geography. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

There's discrepancies in what Vantanas is like. Or better yet. Doston. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

There's a discrepancy in whether Doston exists, yes. Fortunately, this is made a bit more easy by Doston's rise from the seas (if I remember correctly) being set into the far future of Ermarian (game-wise). You don't need to bother with the continent as long as your scenario is set at least somewhat close to the time period in the game. Edit: Grammar.

I don't recall it ever being established that it literally rose from the seas. We just decided that it hadn't been discovered at the time in which the Avernum series took place. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Mh. I'm certain that there was one continent that either sunk or rose (or sunk and reappeared) during some kind of cataclysm, in the Arena timeline. Was that Aizo? -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Aizo had a large hole blown into it during the Arena timeline, but that was hundreds and hundreds of years after the fall of the Empire, and thus far outside the setting of Blades, really. Doston may or may not have risen from the seas, but it was not discovered at the time of BoE. It was the original setting of the Arena. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Doston is really a state of being or way of life more than a continent if you know what I mean. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power! Posts: 3726 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Ah, but the question really is: Is it a way of life to be condoned, a state of being to be attained? -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
