The PlaneShift World

[Axsyrus]

A lot of people don\'t seem to know what exactly the position of everything in the PlaneShift world is, so I\'ve made a map of it.
The information I used to create this map can be found here.


1.) The Crystal \"they discovered one quiet planet with a crystal column full of energy and mystery. \"

2.) The Azure/Sapphire Crystal \"The Crystal that brings light to Yliakum is an enormous raw stone of purest transparency(1.) and analogous to the sapphire that hangs from the roof of the stalactite\'s internal cave.\"

3.) Yliakum \"a huge stalactite that occupied one third of the vault, and which produced a thin rain of clear water. It was the conic block of rock that held Yliakum.\"

4.) The Cave \" Laanx wandered into a cave that was hundreds of times bigger than the one he created, where beings without a name dwelt. At the middle of the cave, he saw a deep lake full of life, whose shores were a fertile soil.\"

5.) The Stone Labyrinths \" They were unaware of a huge maze of tunnels present in the crust of the world, later called the Stone Labyrinths, where other creatures were already lurking in the dark.\"

6. Kadaikos) \"Laanx gave his people many powerful and useful things to brighten the cave and make the lake and its shores a place to live. The Lemurs multiplied rapidly, built the ten towns of Kadaikos, and they became a prosperous and numerous populations.\"

Good, although some proportions are out of bounds.

:emerald:. Add the Hydlaa description and you get a :diamond:.  )

Hopefully this will clear the confusion.

[Nitpick]That\'s actually 3% of the vault in your pic.[/Nitpick]

First when I saw the setting I thought it was the worst setting ever but later on it made sense. If you began building a world on the surface you\'d have to build quite a lot before it looked reasonable. You\'d probably have to create huge mountains to limit the area in the beginning. In this case there isn\'t so much creating and you can make it look quite reasonable and from there it is easier to evolve trough the Stone Labyrinths. Hope you understand what I mean. That is all.

I know, I know.. I just drew it so it was understandable, and easy for me to draw. I suck in proportions anyways

good work that man! =)  
( took me hours to write that one line....dont ask)

[Umpapa]

I like it.  Thank yoiu very much. I did not catch the idea when I had read the history that the cone was in the uber large chamber like that.  that explains alot.  

It also looks like after some time the city below the cone will really get mad if the . dead bodies keep falling down on thier roofs.    (The bodies had to fall some where. lol)

hmm wow this really clears up my understnadings of the world, good job axsyrus  

edit: back on topic now

[Ripostellar]

I finally finished my version of the planet where the proportions should be somewhat fixed.

Yliakum is located thousands of meters under the surface inside a huge excavated stalactite, hanging inside a cave so huge that it could contain any kingdom of the surface.

The cave is now lot of smaller but how large a kingdom can be?

Feel free to informate about any flaws as I think I\'ll be keeping the map updated as changes appear and the world evolves.

I wish we gan get this thing over with once and for good.

[rumblebelly]

well i have to say i never read very much of the lore behind the game but after seeing these crude but good map\'s i now understand more of the world thank\'s people  

[Axsyrus]

yes, really nice map Ripostellar, that\'s exactly how I thought it would look like too.

However, after reading the entire history this afternoon, and talking with Talad, I saw I was completely wrong

for example, the cave is actually hundreds times as big as the stalactite(\" Laanx wandered into a cave that was hundreds of times bigger than the one he created, where beings without a name dwelt. At the middle of the cave, he saw a deep lake full of life, whose shores were a fertile soil.\", with \"the one he created\", I think he\'s referring to Yliakum)

Then, while talking to Talad, it got even worse
He told me that even on my map, the cave was too small, it could go completely through the planet and cover the whole center of the planet too. (yes, I think this is a really weird idea too, and I say we don\'t discuss this but just let this rest untill CB is finished and then try to find out how it really should be.)

I think that we, for now, should use Ripostellar\'s map, with a larger cave as reference to how the complete world should look like.

I was digging through some old papers in the library adjacent to my scriptorium when I stumbled over this - I thought it might be interesting to some of you so I decided to share.

I would have to guess that this was drawn up from information based on old Lemur folktales passed down from generation to generation, but who knows? The features seem overly exaggerated and are probably made of more legend than truth. I still find it intriguing, however....



[OCC: Axsyrus\' map inspired me to put this together IRL ]

[Ripostellar]

Hmm I wonder why I never thought it that way... If it\'s like in the SnowWolf\'s post, it kinda makes sense. The crystal has to be one helluva big column though. 8o

[lynx_lupo]

Hydlaa Hydlaa!!!
The city is Hydlaa and Yliakum the stalactite.

Snd yeah, SnowWolf\'s approach is way better. )

[DraGonFisT]

i think the 3rd one looks pretty kool.

[karakth]

What\'s the planet\'s name though? And if we\'ve already used up all the space, then isn\'t it going to be a little cramped soon? (And I totally don\'t get the physics of the hollow planet...Do we even have gravity?)
