The Great Tower of Zhem
A great, white, chalk-surfaced tower lifted high above the roofs of Risselä, the Great Tower of the Council is a sight to behold. Housing parts of the Academy, the whole Council, barracks and a light-house on top, this forty stories high building dominates the city with its presence, and the great bells on top of it rule with ruthless efficiency the waking of the people.
The Great Rye Pyramid
Built a long time ago out of the many rocks found an island off the coast of Ryeville, the The Great Rye Pyramid is over 180 feet tall. The Great Rye Pyramid was discovered during a boating journey off the coast of Rye to the un-named but recently charted island.
Forest of Riador
The Forest of Riador
A bit farther up from Vincentland, lies a vast forest covering much a large portion of the land. Exploring this area, many strange things are seen inside the forest. Animals that should be in some other forests are roaming around here, along with a strange yet magestic new type of creature. The only description I can give of this animal would be that it has diagonal striped going by it's body, and the shape looks somewhat of a giant squirrel with a horn. It was incredibly fast though, so it wasn't seen too much. Deeper into the forest or no animals whatsoever, rather an eerie glow seems to resonate from it. Exploring it, I find different types of carvings, maybe ancient, on certain trees. The pictures showed something like ancient traditions; One of them was people kneeling down and praying.
The Village of Riador
A long walk from Vincentland, inside the forest, in the far corner, was a small village. The inhabitants were people that before lived in Vincentland, but during times of dismay, decided to stay in the forest. The people say that occasionaly, they go back to Vincentland and steal items for living, for they are very poor. Everything in the village is made of wood; The ceiling of the huts were made of sticks piled up. The people in the village of Riador had seemed to have made some new types of machinery, all made of wood, which concerned things like food. The village is a very small portion of the Forest of Riador.

Ancient Civilization?
We found a civilazation on our triangluar island(Moomba Island). This town seems to be made for mining. Unfortunently, when the recources died out, so did the people. We are currently trying to find out what the mineral is, but the people seem to have used every last bit. What ever it is, our guess is it was used for food.
There where two kinds of races here. The first one resembles the moomba, except it has no tail, and has furry hands instead of furry paws. We believe this creature was used has mining slaves. The other creature resembles a human, except that the bones were more, shall we say, bendy, and they have no fingers. How they overrulled the other race is a mystery.
We beleive this civilization died around 50-100 years ago.
Sea Cave
Not much to say about this cave except it is right of the shore of Aura Island. We can't explore it much because there is a waterfall at the entrance. Our theory believes it leads to the next cave we found.
Dragon cave
We beleive this cave is connected to the sea cave. We also believe there is a dormant water dragon in the cave. Our explorers refuse to explore any more of the cave untill they have back-up.
OOC: Sorry the pic is so loserish. Stuff is messing up.

The Temple Of Worth
Remains Of an early civilization. Resided in the mountains and depended on the river for early agriculture methods. Not much is known about this civilization but they had a language known as Rune we have discovered the vileta stone which has their language upon it. It is a gigantic architecture and how such an early civilization built it is unknown. There is a large hallway leading to a large dome Where 2 large gold seats and a giant rug (torn up) between them. What this was used for no one knows.

Location
The Valley of Sae
Between the two great cities of Risselä and Valkea lies a large valley. The constant downpour of rain in the area results in a valley of such proportions to be carved into the earth. The never-ending rain gave reason for explorers to deem this road as part of the Rain Goddess, Sae's divine plan.
To add worth to this wonder of religious proportions are the Six Saestones. Each of the six are vague representations of Sae's six different forms. Towering at over 50 feet each, they have been worn smooth yet still recognisable as statues of Sae. Some say that their chemical make-up allows for them to glow a mystical green if the rain was ever to stop. Unfortuantly, it never has.
It is said that the Goddess Sae resides within the saestones and every year she materialises herself in her divine glory.

Maedor Mountains
Maedor Mountains
The Mountain Range beside Vincentland is quite a dangerous one to go up, because of it's rough surface. In the area of the Mountain, there seems to be no civilization, or any interesting small villages, towns, etc. Although, it seems that there are a lot of riches in the mountain. Recently, a diamond was found in a deeper part of the area. It seems that there will be a lot more of those sparkling gems. As well, many expensive tools have been found in the mountains, which have been told were from Rune. Vincentland will benefit a lot from the diamonds if it is true that there is a diamond mine there. Vincentland is hoping to send many miners to the area. Other interesting tools have been found on the Maedor Mountains, closer to the border to Aztopia; Carving tools to be exact. Our theory is that the Ancient ones that lived might have made carvings in that area. More of this will be found out as we send more explorers to the Maedor Mountains.
If you guys can do a little drawing of each discovery, that would be great. =)
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
*draws mountains*
Seriously though, Jebus and I found an ancient monolith in the forests of Cielo (to be named by foa sometime soon). It's in 1:4:9 proportions, and was found among a wreckage of strange-looking mechanical parts. It has many strange electro-magnetic properties, and scholars at Metareason Academy have immediately taken to studying it's many and strange properties.
THE SHRINKING GAP OF AtroutI
There were once two lovers, Szare` and Vocuto, whose love blazed with a passion and glory reserved only for legend. From the moment they first held each other's gaze, their hearts beat as one. Yet, due to this, they were cursed, as all they could think of was one another and they rejected the ways of their clan, who all believed that there could be no "love between two" but only clan relationships, where all had an equal share of each other. The two lovers fled into the Atrouti Mountains, but were caught by their clan and were sentenced to be cast down from the highest point as a sign of disrespect. As they both fell, their hearts, souls and spirits were saved and forever preserved in the form of the twin mountains which now bear their names: Szare` and Vocuto.
Legend has it, that every year, on the anniversary of their deaths, the two peaks inch closer together and will one day reunite as one. When they do reunite, the very earth will shake and rumble as true love will prevail. All the landforms within the area will crumble and only the single unified peak will remain, as a monument to the strength and power of love. These peaks, which can be seen from New Amani to the southwest, have never once been scaled, as it is said neither will tolerate anyone to touch them but each other.
Take care all.
I'm just collecting data, there may be a post this evening (UKTime)
The Deserted Temple of Aoife
This temple is beleived to be the first that was made to worship the moon goddess Aoife. The people of sephxania beleive that this temple is where the priestesses lived and held their rituals for Aoife. The temple is considered sacred to the people of sephxania and many come to worship there. The temple is made of blue stone (which on a side note, cannot be found on the island of sephxania anymore). It is a very large temple also. When it was found it had been almost overgrown by vegetation. That seemed to be odd, it being in the middle of a desert. The villagers have been working to restore the temple to what they think is the original image of what it was like before it was deserted....
Currently investigating and more information will be given ASAP.
["What I give form to in daylight is only one per cent of what I have seen in darkness." M.C. Escher
At the south base of Mt Geworpen Goden in the great desert sea of Desierto lies an ancient city known to the people of the land as The Gekozen Mensen, or The chosen People. This city which is built into the rock of the mountain is said to be older then the desert itself. Noone knows who built the city but, it is used as a refuge durring sand storms or, for those lost in the vast desert. There is a great water supply there which people from Ohne Wasser travel in great caravans to obtain this sacred water.
