...already?

[Locke (DP)]

YEAH. Already. I can't help it I have a mind that is apparently...good at finding holes.

Anyways, the description of Dragon's Spine:

Dragon's spine is a collection of six islands off the eastern cost of the Grey Wastes. Ancient scholars wrote essays about old, powerful witch civilizations that once ruled the islands, but most books and maps were destroyed over the years... or stolen. Almost all records of the Dragon's Spine were kept within Caedere libraries until a very ambitious thief lead a raid and stole those scrolls specifically. His motives were unknown.

Difficult to get to and even more difficult to leave, the coastline is a death trap. Boat corpses pile in sad little wrecked mountains in between rocky spikes. The water looks rapid, foaming like a sick dog around the half drowned caves. There's no sand here, no palm trees or little hermit craps. It's a desolate, cold place home to more rats then flowers.

It's also filled with magical artifacts.

Not that most people can get to them. Bastion Tower, the secret school for witches, entwined the place with barriers and confusing illusions to keep the treasure seekers out. The tower sends expeditions to retrieve unusual items and train excelling apprentices, taking advantage of the wisdom embedded in the ruin walls.

But not even the witches of the tower are safe there. Accidents happen and the grey wastes are very close. Ash falls all the same when the rain comes.

Since there are zeppelins and air balloons couldn't they get to the islands that way?

OH ALSO.

I'm not sure how this could come into play but maybe there could be like MAGIC POLLUTION. They have this in D&D where places that use a lot of magic (such as academies) tend to be surrounded by magical pollution (fog) that can do crazy stuff to you like polymorph you or make your clothes and skin change funky colors...and some other more dangerous stuff I can't remember.

I DUNNO. Thought it was cool. Not sure if it makes any sense and FUUU my hands are freezing and I can't type. D:

I'm assuming this means it's a NO FLY ZONE.

EDIT: LOL

As not to appear as a SCARY CACTUS FLOWER.

I didn't mean the post as a WTF READ. I meant it as. That's what Rip wrote, and that's what I am assuming she meant.

RIP has gone to bed though so she'll have to clarify later.

[Locke (DP)]

OH, I see. I get what you're saying. I just had to ask because it never really specified. It talked about the shores and stuff but not whether you could land on it from air, other than what you quoted right there.

[Obelisk]

The magic pollution idea is pretty damned cool though. Rip is ultimate master of the universe. She'll figure it out.

I don't want to touch anything out of fear of breaking it. O: asdfasdf

[Rip]

We have magic pollution. I THOUGHT I WROTE ABOUT IT SOMEWHERE i probably forgot.

It's called Ash; residue of the bomb. It mutates people, animals, and fucks up the land. There's also the magic waste from the cities, which gets dumped in the grey wastes and has similar crazy effects.

As for Dragon's spine, I guess you could be ambitious enough to try and land there. Not a lot of people try it because of the wind and small landing zones. A lot of the caves are protected by barriers, but not all of them.

[Locke (DP)]

OHHH. Yeah, ok, I remember reading about the Ash. I guess I failed to make the connection. SO THAT IS AWESOME.

And thanks for the answer on the Dragon Spine. I have no plans to land on there, but I was curious. XP
