I was just thinking about the lost areas, Hallifax, Gaudigutch and Ackleberry. We know where the entrances on prime are for Hallifax and Gaudigutch, and we know which two cosmic planes those two cities are linked to, Vortex and Continuum. There's even a reference in the histories that puts the Astral representation of the Eternal Flame of Gaudigutch as being in the library in the sphere of Sagittarius. But... what about Ackleberry??

Serenwilde has Mother in ethereal, Glomdoring has the ravenwood. What about Ackleberry? I dont think it can be Faethorn and the Queen's tree? So did the bit of ethereal linked to Ackleberry dissapear along with the forest?

The story says that the prime forest and its ethereal counterpack dissapareaded together.

Yep. You can see it if you look at some of the rune descriptions in the mountains someplace, vaguely, but not in the Ether - it's been completely seperated, and so have the spirits there, Sister Lake and Brother/Father/Whatever Theotherone.

Ackleberry will have its own part of Ethereal, not available to enter from Serenwilde/Glomdoring parts. It will have flashy bright colours everywhere, lots of singing cute birds, colourful butteflies, big-eyed animals and hippy fae-things running around. It will be so sweet and cute that even a Furrikin wouldn't have a chance to stand it, making everyone on the plane die eventually in a very gruesome death - just like Greater Positive Energy Planes in DnD.

Whereas Gaudiguch and Hallifax just froze, Ackleberry actually phased out of reality, as well as most of the surrounding forest.

There is/was a nexus for Ackleberry, although I can't find mention of its name in anything we've told you yet..

If you've survived the Gardens of Raziela, you can survive any kind of cuteness.

Aww, but I LIKE Raziela.

I think that Ackleberry will be the last of all the current unreleased cities to be brought out. The Glomdoring is already practically made, so I assume it will be first, followed by Gaudiguch and Hallifax (They already have large followings and a quest, after all), and Ackleberry has... nothing. Nothing we've found yet, at least.

I sorta doubt Ackleberry will ever make it. After all, Achaea's still on 6 cities after as many years, so I can't really see Lusternia getting enough players fast. Unless "enough players" is a lot less here than on the other IRE MUDs. Which I'd like, 'cause it'd make things more interesting.

Hmm, Ackleberry... With cute fuzziness... And... Singing. It sounds like Splash Mountain at Disneyland.

They even have their own personal Divine lined up.

See?

Two.

Fear the beard.


EDIT: Argh, now I started an Auseklis' beard topic?

Looks like beard jokes are open game since Auseklis broke His own ban. Hurray!
