Promontories

A promontory is a solid bit in the Sea Of Chance - think of it as a mountain rising up out of primal Chaos and a safer place to build than the Sea itself. A promontory is not shadow but a power located on a promontory may cast shadow. See the Cosmology discussion for more theories.

• Kolvir, Now mostly Greater Arden (formerly known as Amber), and what was left of the Golden Circle Kingdoms but also includes Primal Amber where the Primal Pattern sits
• Pearl - Which might not be reachable through Shadow again
• Ygg - Oberon’s first and only attempt at farming
• Cobalt and the Fractal Realm - home of The Spiral
• The Courts of Chaos (also an outdated GM writeup) and the attendant Black Zone and Grey Zone places surrounding. The Chaos Houses and Guilds are seated there.
• Darkover, and the associated Overworld. Now also contains the skinned and re-located Avalon-based world that is Count Cagliostro’s as a walled flat earth (thus finally vindicating some of the “Crazy” folk).
• Dragaera, and associated Paths of the Dead.
• Faerie (although it may not be a promontory, no one has bothered to ask Titania).
• The Gold Place - place where someone with the “Midas Curse” has been pinned underwater, and everything is gold. And contagious.
• The Pink Place - A giant, swiss-cheese like block-maze with a variety of different conditions as you move through the maze.
• The Garden - Probably want to leave metal behind.
• The promontory of Mikail’s Last Stand

Non-Local Promontories

• The BadgerVerse
• Earthsea, home of Caelin’s mother Circe
• The Egg Place
• The cave where the Dragon Council meets - actually if you are not a dragon, probably not wise to go there, and if you are, probably only with an invitation.
• Evil Amber, a more powerful alternate Amberverse (presumed destroyed)
• the Hamster-verse - Warning, Sane Dworkin lives here.
• Hell - A terrible place, which blocks most major powers
• Hillbilly Amber - Those familiar with the Hillbilly reality optimistically hope it has been destroyed.
• Pride’s Folly - home to Gwen’s laboratory, named something else before her fall (20020319-Log_Notes.txt)
• The Uberverse, a stupidly powerful alternate Amberverse
• Vanir’s Wrath - the home (or at least birthplace) of Bibliomancy and the Archivist

Primal Areas

• The Sea of Chance - If you have to ask, you probably don’t want to go there.
• The Void - The Void is a cross-shadow (possibly cross-promontory) connecting power. It is also not a comfortable place to be, since is seeks to eradicate all who enter.
• the Fringe is a cross-shadow transit mechanism originally created by the Tehrmelern. It is self-rebooting. Its central control room may be a promontory, or may also just be made of the same that is neither shadow nor sea.

Major Ways or Places

• Castle Thelbane - the seat of thw government of the Courts of Chaos
• (Logrus Master) Suhuy’s Ways - Very Logrusy, if you are allergic, probably not the best place for you
• (Realms Mage) Ferethyn’s Ways - Very Magicy, if you are allergic, probably not the best place for you
• Sea of Thought - Seat of the head of the Philosophers Guild.
• Norton’s Head - Most people are dying to get in.
• Jean-Whale - Mostly transport to places, rather than a destination in and of itself, but some people like it there.

Other Places of Note

• Inzalo - The beginning of an adventure somewhere … off in shadow.
