Landmark Discussion

[Murasaki]

Here's a community thing I'd like to bring up for anyone wishing to help flesh out the RP. I want to stray away from making a bunch of subforums for every possible area on the site, which is why the Lune Seaport subforum is done all in one subforum. I'm looking for ideas and suggestions on landmarks and locations found in each of the currently existing areas, so that a sticky can be put up to show additional places to RP in. See the Lune Landmarks for inspiration here: log-horizon.proboards.com/thread/5204/city-landmarks

Feel free to suggest your own landmarks or provide enough of a description that I may be able to work with such an area (EX: "I want there to be a giant tree worshipped by Lander druids somewhere in an area")

For example, here's a landmark for the Sarum general subforum area:

Stonehenge
Location: Sarum Frontier
The historical stone structure known the world around by the Adventurers, this hill consists of mysterious pillars stacked up in a circle. At its center is an altar that seems to possess the same characteristics of a Fairy Gate, but it is still unknown as to what its true functionality is. During the Sarum Expedition, it was discovered that Stonehenge was the origin of magic controlling the endless army of golems. An elite party of Adventurers was sent to disrupt the ritual, which culminated in the rock formation waking to life in literally a monumental battle.

Awesome idea!

Boring but efficient

Londinium - Leicester Square
A square in the centre of Londinium with tall, empty high rises surrounding it. This square is the central place for adventurers to meet and relax as it is close to numerous key facilities and is large enough to accommodate several thousand. Stalls line the edge of the square while performers routinely move throughout the square, busking for change or delight.

Windsor Greatwood - The Oak & Stone
A mighty oak stands in the approximate centre of the Windsor Greatwood in the middle of a natural clearing. It towers over the other trees in the area, which has made it a defacto guide while traveling through the area. At the Eastern tip of the clearing, right where forest meets grass there is an old, weathered pillar which stands 5 feet tall. It is said that the Tinglestone can never be moved, even by a team of powerful mounts except for midnight of the Summer Equinox when it will walk clockwise around the clearing three time before planting itself again. In contrast during the Winter Equinox it is said from the branches of the Oak an Ent will be born with great ragged horns, who will circle the clearing counter clockwise three time before it returns to the tree.

final one for now

Straford-Upon-Avon - Hallowed Well
This well holds a legend of the Arcane Bard. On his first day of battle he drew forth the sounds of the street to confound his foes. On the second day of the battle he drew forth the sounds of people to terrorise his foes. On the third day of battle he was tired and thirsty as his enemies were many and he had no chance to rest. He was wounded during battle and when his blood fell to the ground a mighty spring came forth, washing away his enemies with noise and white rapids alike. Since that day the Hallowed Well is said to curse the [mute] status and replenish the health of whoever drinks the water direct from the well.
