[QUOTE="Sanglorian, post: 6581763, member: 83822"] SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD The scholar and rakish traveller Taran Prenderghast has seen recent success with a book proposing Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Published in the Shuttered City under the patronage of the Doge, the "world" seems limited to the Shrouded Lands and the Twelve Nations, and particularly those parts that Taran happens to have visited. His list is: [LIST=1] [*]The White Road, and the great bindings of spirits that it represents. [*]The Gnome and the Giant. The draft list gave the Great Temple of Alberon instead, but rumour has it that Taran was offered free drinks till his dying day if he changed the entry. [*]The Waterworks of Shuttered, which drowned the City's enemies. [*]The gates of Hoth Achaar, whcih shift as the fortress' population does. [*]The stump of Ninbolm. [*]Melnir's Mount. [*]Teodo, originally the only wonder outside of the Shrouded Lands, although thanks to the Great Mother, this has changed since publication. [/LIST] Taran's list is a revision of a list compiled over a thousand years ago by the fabled philosopher-knight Caprondes. Caprondes' list consisted of: [LIST=1] [*]Melnir's Mount, the only ancient wonder that remains to this day. Taran considered dropping it from this list, but concedes that it remains evidence of an impressive feat. [*]The Tarrasque of Bergolast. The wonder survives but the city that it supported does not. [*]The Great Oak of Goblinkind. In a manner of speaking, this wonder also made it onto Taran's list. [*]The Spear-in-the-Stone of Adherion. [*]The Heliotrope of the Well-Lit Arch. The Well-Lit Arch was a city in the Golden Realm. [*]The Temple of Elemental Good in Othonoi (this may be what is now referred to in hushed voices as the "Terminus Temple"). [*]The Mausoleum of Khaldi. Khaldi existed in both Zamorqy and Zhuriman. [/LIST] HOOKS [LIST] [*]Are there other wonders worthy of mention? [*]How did the Great Oak become the stump of Ninbolm? [*]What is a temple of elemental good like? [*]How could Khaldi exist in both Zamorqy and Zhuriman? [*]What happened to the ancient wonders that no longer exist? [*]What else has Taran done? [*]What else did Caprodes do? [*]Many of the ancient wonders are from lost or rarely mentioned nations. What happened to them? [*]Have rival lists of wonders been made? What's on them? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
