37. How do people navigate? Do they have maps, compasses, or something else? How are these things made?

Overall, the world of Aloran functions off of maps and compasses like we do. There are a few notable areas that require additional assistance in finding one's way around.

It's a bit of a ramble, so more under the cut!

+ In Itha'liraen, the natural heart of the world, is an area that is very close to the Feywild. Therefore, while air travel tends to be relatively reliable, people relying on earthbound (if you stray from the roads, at least) means typically require a guide as to not become lost and accidentally stumble across dimensions/into unfortunate situations. Those who have the means typically Teleport or request the service of a druid that knows Transport via Plants to bring them to their destination.

+ Sinovis, the Shattered Continent, is a myriad of hundreds of islands that lies in the distant southwest of Itha'liraen -- one that is a place of wild and chaotic magics. Temporal storms are the norm, compasses don't work as they should, and it's basically the equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle for any outsider that dares try to navigate it. Though there have been recent (and generally more reliable) means discovered by outsiders, namely by utilizing native-born scouts who are in-tune with the ebb and flow of wild magic or utilizing crafts that have a Temporal Anchor attached to it.

The latter of these two solutions is very new, dreadfully expensive, and only four vessels in the world are affixed with this manner of protection.

+ To the north of the Shattered Continent is another wounded landmass, called Iluntasuna. Whereas Sinovis was broken apart by a immense fragment of a now partially destroyed arcanic moon, Iluntasuna has been battered by similar smaller pieces of shrapnel. As well as the skeletal remains of a dark titanic god that fell along with it...

While its remains were claimed by the earth as Aloran healed itself over the millennia, it does bleed a similar sort of distortion like that of its southern cousin. The Hexlands are dark, dreary, and with a nightmarish composition to their flora and fauna. Much like a mirrored opposite to Itha'liraen, that region has a tendency to have the Shadowfell spill out into it. Lamplighters, who are wandering rangers, or sometimes organized caravans, tend to escort anyone needing to pass through those areas so that people are not swallowed up by the inky dark.

Though there is one region that is far from the Hexlands, and away from any sort of expected area of distortion, that is simply called the Neversea. It's a bleak and featureless expanse of nothing but gray sand where the sun and moons never set -- yet never fully rise either. The only help you'll get in travelling that region is a very firmly worded "don't".

Value Me!

“You know, darling, sometimes I feel like you just don’t love me anymore,” Aloran sighs, draping himself over the crystalline stones at the edge of the springs. He lets a hand trail in the water, steam curling around fingers burnished gold in the dying light of what was a beautiful sunset. Valeris, reclined in the pool, cracks open one eye to assess his seriousness.

He offers an earnest look chock-full of the proper solemnity, and she sighs.

“Whatever gives you that idea?” she says, around a luxurious yawn.

“Well, you don’t take an interest in the children,” he begins.

She makes a sound that one would normally term a snort, were she not quite so elegant, or so coolly intimidating when insulted. “Neither do you.”

Aloran shrugs a shoulder and allows it, twisting to dangle his feet in the springs, careful of his trailing silks. “You’ve spent as much time with Sadzhik in the past month as you have with me.”

“You could say the same, dear,” she says lazily. “And you’ll recall that you were there for a number of those visits.”

He smiles fondly in remembrance. “Well, yes.”

Valeris sighs gustily, slipping out of the water to join him at the pool’s edge. He levers himself up enough to reach a towel off a nearby stack and drapes it around her shoulders before reclining again; she wears the simple cotton as a queen wears a mantle. “Is that all?” she prompts, tucking herself into his side and adjusting his arm until it serves as an adequate pillow.

“Mm,” he says, having somewhat lost the thread of his argument in the lazy heat of the springs. He combs the fingers of his free hand through the trailing ends of her hair, catching in the dripping ends.

“Do you want exclusivity?” she asks, not willing to be distracted now.

“No, not really. Boring,” he yawns.

“Do you want a gaggle of children vying for our attention, with all of the laughter and tears that would entail?”

“Weaver no,” he laughs. “We’d never get any time for ourselves.”

“Do you want to be with me always?” she presses.

“That would get rather tiring, don’t you think?”

“Yes. And that, my dear, is why you are absolutely perfect,” she says fondly, curling up and resting her head on his chest.

From Dipolog, it took us 4 hours to travel to Aloran, Misamis Occidental which is the hometown of our beloved friend, Che-che! :) We thought it was only two hours,  and we expected to arrived at lunch, but actually, we arrived past 2pm and kinda hungry. We were so thankful that Cherrylyn’s family prepared something for us! yeees! late lunch on banana leaf! yum yum :)   

After eating, it was a perfect time to jumped into the river! Last time I went (real) swimming in the river was like 9 or 10 years ago? river sampling is not counted :p So.. welcome back! Yes hello riverrrr! 

The river was kinda dried up since it’s summer.. but It was also great that the water current was not that dangerous. Anyway, we went to a part of a river where the water is still :)

Yesss. we were feeling the nature ~ It’s also great being away from the city you know ;) The water level here was high and the bottom was beyond the reach of our toes hahaha but cheche’s cousins were not afraid to jump into the deep middle part of the river. Pildi ang mga adult! 

The adventure was really great! and even better since it was spent with friends. :) even better than better if we were complete!
