That's why I drew a map before I even
started working on my story. (well, a
very rough sketch, anyway.) Had to have
borders of some sort to work around,
and by far it seems to work.
By the way, why didn't Anthony do a map?

Eh...I never had the chance to participate
in IOM, but I would have eventually devised
some sort of otherwordly theory on how a
character could get there. (So, Osprey is
exploring some ancient ruins, when he
stumbles upon a rack of ancient avian ships.
Climbing into one of the ancient devices
and examining the cockpit, he triggers a
beacon which consequently causes the damned
machine to lift off, accelerating through
a shaft and into the skies, only to stall
above the misty island and crash.) Well,
that's why I would have done, anyway...would
have served of interest to have a citizen
from an advanced city to clash with those
from the past.
