Question for TOT Experts - Bareisle and the Land of Elohim

Post by Landwaster »

I'm struggling to remember the deal with what was called what.

If my memory serves sufficiently, Bareisle was a tiny rocky outcrop in almost the middle of nowhere, which basically signalled that the bigger island was not far away.

Then there were naughty reefs, and then there was the actual island where Elemesnedene was secreted.

Into that Island, there was basically a fjord, and I think the overlooking ridgetops were called Cravenhaw (?). The fjord made a left turn, and then there was a beautiful beach.

From the beach, following a stream, we enter a wood, and then out into a meadow ... the 'maidan'(?)

Continuing to follow the stream and you hit a mound of some garbage that surrounded the spring from whence emitted the stream.

The spray of the spring more or less served as the portal into Elemesnedene.

Now, firstly, is that all correct?

Secondly, what was the name of the actual island with the ridges and the beach and the woods and the maidan, etc?

Anyone?

Landwaster sits at attention, panting and slavering ... go go gadget danlo!!!

I'm suddenly starting to remember that you may have said once before how the Land of the Elohim was not necessarily an island at all, and that in fact it was never said at any time anything about it being an island. Maybe that's what you're getting at!

lololol! yep I even started the thread!

Ok so your point is that the Land of the Elohim is probably not an island! Got that now!

But do you know if that land had a name?

By the way, danlo ... you were waxing fanciful in that other, bumped, thread, how you envisaged the Elohim Land as perhaps being sort of geographically comparable to Europe, Braithairealm to Africa, and Home to maybe Scandinavia, right?

Well that fjord (above) that I got the photo from is in Norway, in a region that translates to "Giantland" ... how about that!?!

Yes and I suppose the boat you were trying to wipe out is called the Ferry-Elohim? :mrgreen: (saw that coming a mile away, eh--hey that's almost as bad as one of Cjr's puns!) :roll:

A number of bad puns about the ferry come to mind, but I'm going to refrain. :)

I think though, that the trees are out of place in the picture as well.... It is called Bareisle.

Those aren't trees, that actual island is a rock only about 40 feet wide.

Another question, the points of land either side of the inlet to Braithairian Harbor are called 'The Teeth', right?
