Is the sun in the north?

Started by bracken, June 29, 2008, 03:36:00 PM

I assume it is, because it sets to the NW of Tuluk. (I think.) But are there contradictory signs elsewhere?
That beauty and truth should pass utterly

It rises in the east and sets in the west, I think.

I'm pretty sure dawn/dusk messages refer to it as rising in the east and setting low in the west.

Yes , but I mean during the day. It will either travel across the northern sky (southern hemisphere) or the other way round.

The Known World is south of the equator, assuming planetary physics are roughly similar.

Later on, when it is not IC sensitive anymore...


I really really REALLY want to know what you intend to use this information for?

Thanks for that..I just wanted to know so I'd know where the shade was.  Which wall or formation to stand my PC near.  Nothing major, but it all adds to the picture.   :)

If you go north from Tuluk, you eventually run into a mountain range. Scale that mountain, and you'll find yourself staring at an interstate highway, bustling with traffic.

OH. So -thats- what that is. I thought it was a silt river with really really fast silt skimmers driven by krathi's.

Some big-ass desert reserve out in the middle of nowhere? I mean, there's been some seriously bad-ass shit going down in the Known world of Zalanthas. Like Dragons. And Elves.

Old nuclear testing range.  Off limits the the general public and whatnot.  The dragons and other impossible things, are mutants that can't survive without a high level of background radiation, so they don't go near the edge of the reserve, and no one comes in.

And the bad-ass shit isn't as impressive as we imagine.  It turns that despite what all those old movies would have us believe, radiation does not cause things to grow to enormous size.  The gigantic insectoids are actually just large-ish insects.  Kanks aren't the size of horses, more like the size of carpenter ants.  Bahamets are merely small desert tortoises.  Half-giants are smaller than Barbie dolls.  Most of the monsters of the known world could be taken out by a particularly fearsome kitty cat.  The entirety of the known world fits within a few bomb craters.

One supposes that the Dragon is a rattlesnake; they don't come by very often because the area is still 'hot'.

If the dragon is a rattlesnake, what is Muk Utep?

The angry-eyed kangaroo rat is here, staring you down.
The sword is sharp, the spear is long,
The arrow swift, the Gate is strong.
The heart is bold that looks on gold;

Someone posted this a while ago, asking about the moon cycles.

QuoteSome good help files to read are:

Suk-Krath rises in the east, sets in the west.
Lirathu rises in the southeast, sets in the northwest.
And, as far as I can tell, Jihae also rises in the east, and sets in the west, as per this log: http://www.armageddon.org/rp/logs/log.guild.html

Does it actually say someplace that the sun is in the north sky? I'm wondering where people are getting this from, but it's entirely possible I'm overlooking the obvious.

The sun sets over the Grey Forest, which would, if you take the whole of it, mean roughly west-northwest.

Maybe there's more evidence of it beyond this, but this alone doesn't seem convincing to me. As far as I know, the sun setting over the Grey Forest is only true from the perspective of an area that is generally east of it.

In other places, the message might work in some other aspect of the local environs, or simply say that the sun sets to the west.
