Epicurus says that the Dowager Montagenet's first name is "Eliza." The description in the Nicator Archives says that it's "Hermione." Which is correct? I've included both in the [[Dowager Montagenet]] article for now.  [[User:Delphinus|Delphinus]] 08:57, 30 April 2006 (GMT)
-- It's Eliza.

HELP AERINEWILD says that the [[Aerinewild]] was created after all the other forests, making it the youngest. However, [[Eupheme]] says, "The Aerinewild is the most ancient  forest on Sapience. My elder sisters were birthed there." HELP AERINEWILD also states that the Aerinewild is the forest whence all others stem. So is the Aerinewild the oldest or youngest?

*'''Notian Sea''' (south)
*'''Sea of Borak''' (north)
*'''Sapphire Sea''' (west)


Edit: A few room descriptions say that the [[Western Ithmia]] is the most ancient forest on Sapience, including "On the bridge over the Zaphar" and "Ithmia forest by edge of lake." [[User:Delphinus|Delphinus]] 21:56, 18 May 2006 (GMT)
-- Aerinewild was created after the others but is the oldest mature forest, as it was created in full bloom, as it were, while the others were fledglings. So the western ithmia was created first, but aerinewild is still more mature.

===Planes:===
From the room description of "Overlooking a fjord" in Rheodad: ''"Beyond them, the dark smudge of the Rheodad forest looms ominously, and yet beyond this lies the '''mountains of Saoghal.'''"''


*'''Abyss''' - Known to some as the Plane of Infinite Horrors, the Abyss is arguably the vilest plane of all. The Abyss is the plane of Chaos and Evil, and nowhere is this reflected clearer than its infernal residents. Many demonic races reside here, including the cruel and vicious Shaitanzu, as well as the dread Pit Fiends to which Azmodai is kin. The Shaitanzu in particular are at war with a race from Baator known as the Baatani over what Evil should really be.
"Mountains of Saoghal." Does this mean that the unnamed mountain range bordering the Ishana Peninsula is in fact called the Saoghal Mountains, or is this merely a reference to the peaks surrounding the valley and thus an indirect reference to the Saoghal Valley itself? [[User:Delphinus|Delphinus]] 08:18, 4 May 2006 (GMT)
*'''Acheron''' - The plane of Acheron, the outer plane where the concepts of order and evil mesh with neutrality, is known to some as the Battle Cubes or the Plane of Lost Causes. Acheron is composed of iron-shod cubes, upon which soldiers die needlessly as they wage war after futile war. It is said that for most of eternity have the armies fought, and they shall fight on until eternity ends.
:This was okayed some time back. -- [[User:Delphinus|Delphinus]] 22:27, 7 April 2007 (GMT)
*'''Arborea''' - Known alternatively as the Land of Eternal Bliss and the Plane of Passions, Arborea is the outer plane representing both Chaos and Good. It is thought by many that Arborea is the birthplace of emotions, a hypothesis lent credibility by the fact that feelings here are much more vivid. So vivid, in fact, that travellers to the plane are often so enthralled with it that they refuse to leave, becoming what are known as the "Fallen," who in turn try to entice other visitors into becoming Fallen with them. It is said that in this aspect, they have the same sort of persuasive ability as vampires, succubi, and incubi.
*'''Arcadia''' - where order and neutrality join with good (not to be confused with the town of Arcadia).
*'''Aurorea''' - The outer plane of Good, Aurorea, is one of peace and tranquility. Its residents are known for their forgiving nature, and are likely to heap food and drink aplenty upon any adventurers that should come to visit. It is rumoured that Lady Aurora once made Her home on this plane.
*'''Baator''' - Sometimes known as the Nine Hells, the Land of Broken Promises, or simply Hell, Baator is the outer plane where Order and Evil combine. It is here that the Baatani dwell, the race that is in an aeons-old war with the Shaitanzu of the Abyss over what Evil should be.
*'''Beastland''' - where neutrality and good become chaotic.
*'''Bytopia''' - where neutrality and good become orderly.
*'''Carceri''' - where neutrality and evil become chaotic.
*'''Daedalan''' - The plane of true neutrality.
*'''Eroia''' - The plane of Chaos, not to be confused with the Chaos Plane.
*'''Gehenna''' - where neutrality and evil become orderly.
*'''Miranus''' - Known to some as "the Clockwork Plane" or "the Land of Law," Miranus is the outer plane of Order. The plane itself appears to be nothing more than the interior of a giant engine. Many theorise that this plane is the source of time and motion, or at the very least a multiversal regulator of some kind. It is rumoured that Lady Miramar, Goddess of Justice makes her home here.
*'''Netherworld''' - The Netherworld is an outer plane where the concepts of neutrality and evil combine. A fiercely cold wind constantly whips about the dust and soot of this plane, ensuring that nothing stays clean. It is rumoured that Lord Twilight has made one of his homes on this plane. It was here that the demon Azmodai brought Xianty and killed him numerous times after kidnapping him in 271.
*'''Pandemonium''' - where chaos and neutrality become evil (not to be mistaken with Pandemonium, the Divine Child).
*'''Sartai''' - Sartai, the outer plane of Evil is known by many other names - the Three Glooms, Hope's Loss, the Nadir. Apathy pervades this plane like a cold fog, sucking the vitality from all who choose to linger here. It is said that Lord Sartan might perhaps have one of his extraplanar palaces in the centre of this plane.
*'''Ysgard''' - where chaos and neutrality become good.

Unsure of whether a place really exists? Put it here for the Admins to review.


Travian Shea: neglected historical figure or simply the subject of an epic work of historical fiction? Were it anyone but Tancred, the choice would be easy, but what with Tancred writing the Seleucarian histories after this, you must wonder if it, too, is canon. It won Sarapis's contest, at the very least, and winning entries in literary contests are often included in Achaea's lore. -- Delphinus 14:43, 23 January 2007 (GMT)

Is there any real existing reference for cave dwelling Basilisks? Skye

From the descriptions of the Aalen Forest basilisks: Smaller than its cave dwelling cousins, the forest basilisk is an adept hunter. -- Delphinus 14:43, 23 January 2007 (GMT)

Epicurus says that the Dowager Montagenet's first name is "Eliza." The description in the Nicator Archives says that it's "Hermione." Which is correct? I've included both in the Dowager Montagenet article for now. Delphinus 08:57, 30 April 2006 (GMT) -- It's Eliza.

HELP AERINEWILD says that the Aerinewild was created after all the other forests, making it the youngest. However, Eupheme says, "The Aerinewild is the most ancient forest on Sapience. My elder sisters were birthed there." HELP AERINEWILD also states that the Aerinewild is the forest whence all others stem. So is the Aerinewild the oldest or youngest? Delphinus 04:46, 18 May 2006 (GMT)

Edit: A few room descriptions say that the Western Ithmia is the most ancient forest on Sapience, including "On the bridge over the Zaphar" and "Ithmia forest by edge of lake." Delphinus 21:56, 18 May 2006 (GMT) -- Aerinewild was created after the others but is the oldest mature forest, as it was created in full bloom, as it were, while the others were fledglings. So the western ithmia was created first, but aerinewild is still more mature.

From the room description of "Overlooking a fjord" in Rheodad: "Beyond them, the dark smudge of the Rheodad forest looms ominously, and yet beyond this lies the mountains of Saoghal."

"Mountains of Saoghal." Does this mean that the unnamed mountain range bordering the Ishana Peninsula is in fact called the Saoghal Mountains, or is this merely a reference to the peaks surrounding the valley and thus an indirect reference to the Saoghal Valley itself? Delphinus 08:18, 4 May 2006 (GMT)

This was okayed some time back. -- Delphinus 22:27, 7 April 2007 (GMT)
