Where's the One Rock?

Post by jacob Raver, sinTempter »

Where'd it go? I can't find it? And neither, it seems, can SRD?

K. All jokes aside.

If there's a good rock that the orecrest are from and a bad rock that the illcrest are from, and a good tree that the staff of law is from, then naturally...

And really, though, I haven't read RotE or FR, is it in there? It's kind of important, don't you think?

Seems there might be opposites or counter objects/things for all the good stuff.
Could be some of these were the banes that Foul placed.

Take the One Road, turn right at the One Fork, and you'll see the One Rock on your left. If you get to Old Man Sowder's One Barn, you've gone too far.

I just assumed it was 29 units away from 30 Rock.

Naturally there's a bad tree? Hmm, interesting. The Staff of Chaos? The Staff of Evil? The Staff of Foulness? The Staff of Ill? Its roots were "nourished" by the banes and vile waters under Mount Thunder. Very interesting concept.
Heard my ears aright? Did not the gaddhi grant me this glaive?

Did you forgot to turn left at Old Johnson's barn that burned down ten years ago?
:D


Hey!
AjK, what game is your avatar from?
I remember playing that but can't for the life of me remember where.

Thanks, HLT. That was bugging me, too. Knew it wasn't Cadash, but couldn't place it.

At the risk of offering a real answer to a rhetorical question.......Orcrest is like hurtloam. If you know what it is, and where to look, you might get lucky & find some. In the same manner that the Illearth Stone was buried deep in the Earth, orcrest is the same way. The Earth (and the Land)are full of mysteries.

I would think that the Illearth Stone was planted by Foul, one of those Banes that were planted within the Creators', err, creation.

And I think that the "rot in the earth" mentioned by the Elohim might be the One Stone...we'll see.

The One Rock is located inside the bowl of The One Glass Pipe, about 15 miles due south of Two Rock, California (yes, a real city !!)

Awesome.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
