#1 icuall Apr 10, 2008 12:27:06	I remember reading somewhere that there is a hidden elven city in Nikerymath. Does anybody know the name and reference? (I am not if it was named.) It's probably in GHoFR, but last night and this morning, I was skimming the whole book trying to find the reference and ran out of time. Any help will be appreciated.

#3 sfdragon Apr 11, 2008 3:32:50	... you know what Lord KArsus, it does sound like it
#4 lord_karsus Apr 11, 2008 6:07:29	... you know what Lord KArsus, it does sound like it -I think you are the first one to think that... ;)

Mind you, it hasn't been debunked, but it's only a myth. I've never even heard of that "place" before. What source did it come from?
#8 lord_karsus Apr 11, 2008 10:42:14	I've never even heard of that "place" before. What source did it come from? -The Vilhon Reach, which can be found HERE.
#9 rinonalyrna_fathomlin Apr 11, 2008 11:25:23	-The Vilhon Reach, which can be found HERE. Ah, thanks. I have that download, but never looked through it extensively.
#10 lord_karsus Apr 11, 2008 11:26:30	Ah, thanks. I have that download, but never looked through it extensively. -Me neither, really. It has some good tidbits, here and there, though.
#11 icuall Apr 11, 2008 12:25:11	Rucien-Xan in Chondalwood download Vilhon Reach Myth Outtahere is something else, in High Forest Jiggawha.... thank you. I knew I read it somewhere but could not remember where. I have the reference in my materials. Many thanks.

Mind you, it hasn't been debunked, but it's only a myth. Why do you say it's a myth? A host of sources say it exists, or at the very least existed. -- George Krashos

#14 old_sage Apr 12, 2008 2:57:28	Rucien-Xan is not a myth. The entry for 'Sehanine' in Demihuman Deities notes, rather specifically, that it exists/existed as an [secret] elven retreat. The fact that Sehanine has/had weaved an illusion around Rucien-Xan *could* be the reason why it is referenced as a "mythical" locale in the Vilhon Reach tome.
#15 lord_karsus Apr 12, 2008 5:06:53	They say the same thing about Atlantis... doesn't make it true though, at least not in its popular connotation. -Indeed. Other places Sehanine Moonbow lends some of her illusions, like Synnoria, for instance, we have irrefutable proof that said settlements exist. With Rucien-Xan, no such concrete evidence is availible, from the Faerûnian resident perspective, and from the gamer playing D&D perspective.
#16 Stigger Apr 12, 2008 9:32:35	Was that the place where the gnomes and elves were uber-fertile? Never got the impression that place was mythical, but its early and I just woke up, so...
#17 lord_karsus Apr 12, 2008 9:45:01	-No, that was the city of Xorhun, which is the only known city of Elves (and Gnomes) in the region.
#18 Stigger Apr 12, 2008 10:06:29	Ah, good, glad to know that. Have no recollection at all of Rucien-Xan then... I'll look it up later, can't be bothered right now.
#19 Krash Apr 12, 2008 10:21:01	With Rucien-Xan, no such concrete evidence is availible, from the Faerûnian resident perspective, and from the gamer playing D&D perspective. You might want to read "Empires of the Shining Sea" a bit more closely then. -- George Krashos
#20 lord_karsus Apr 12, 2008 10:22:19	You might want to read "Empires of the Shining Sea" a bit more closely then. -- George Krashos -I've never ever heard of that one, let alone own it.
#21 Stigger Apr 12, 2008 12:40:09	Tis' on Calimshan... well worth it if you can find it IMNSHO.
#22 boda Apr 12, 2008 23:10:23	Myth Dryaalis or something,... in the forest of mir. Cloaked city of elven and gnome population. in Empires of the shining sea.
#23 lord_karsus Apr 20, 2008 23:13:41	You might want to read "Empires of the Shining Sea" a bit more closely then. -- George Krashos -Alright, so I was able to get a hold of the book from a friend for the time being. I skimmed it, and didn't see anything particular relevant to the city. Where might I find this information in said book?
