[QUOTE="BSF, post: 2772594, member: 13098"] [b]The Floating Peaks[/b] The Floating Peaks are more akin to legend and myth rather than a real place. Of course, the Shrine of Tranquility and the Road to the Gods are both legend and myth to most people. The three spellcasters before you can attest to the reality of the Shrine of Tranquility. And since Josefus has actually visited it, he can also tell you that the Road to the Gods is real. He walked along it. So in that context, maybe the Floating Peaks exist as well. They are alleged to be far to the West, and a bit North. Some stories say they are the peaks of immense mountains above the clouds. When viewed from above the clouns, they look like they are floating. Other stories say they are mountains suspended over nothingness. Still other stories attribute them to volcanic islands jutting out from the ocean as nothing more than barren, cratered peaks. More stories say that the mountains below them were blasted by immense magics and all that remains are the peaks floating above a barren wasteland. Obviously, with so many stories, it is difficult to say which might be true. What is consistent is that some of the ancient necromancer kings built their towers upon these peaks. The towers were built as impenetrable sanctuaries and fortresses. As the wars waged across the world, the wizards residing in the floating peaks came under seige and eventually fell. Legend does not clarify exactly how this happened, or what state the towers might be in now. If the Sword of Ternell is at the Floating Peaks, it may be quite difficult to retrieve. [/QUOTE]
