[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 5113937, member: 40413"] Argh! I hate it when work interferes with my posting, lol. Wow, Myth, that's some awesome information! It's always interesting to get an insiders point of view about a region. So, I'll take the Balkan area for Ubariya. I'm going to work my godly mojo and change things up a bit to suit her purposes. Hopefully it'll work out ok. The name information about Heliasillyel is also really nice. I love that sort of thing. I'm always pulling a word from a foreign language dictionary and using it as a place name or character name but modified much like what you've done. SO I retract what I said earlier about a name not too elven. I'd rather you stayed in character and name it as Heliasillyel would name it. I like the choice of Japan for Heliasillyel (though any number of places would work for any of us). The island is vaguely bow-shaped; I think it would be cool to emphasize that even more. Maybe include an arcing range of low, tree-covered mountains with your plateau at the center of the arc so that your city looks out over a sea of green forest bejeweled with meadows of amber grass. But also close enough that the occupants of the city can look out over shallow, sun-dappled, sapphire seas where golden spires of coral rise out of the water into fantastic palaces for elves of a more aquatic persuasion. (Yeah, I know coral doesn't really do that.) You definitely don't want an active volcano or Lavaria will be getting all up in your business. :lol: As for food? Orchards! Or, maybe, sunfruit! Fast, fun, [i]and[/i] delicious. I don't imagine elves spend a lot of time in the kitchen; maybe you see it differently. Anyway, that's about it; use any or none of it as you like. Whatever you do I'll expect to eventually see some awesome names ;) Re: Duretep's Realm.
