Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sanctum Glade has returned to it's gentle peace. Through a mysterious means, a colored light washed over the land, infuseing it with the essence of the nine elements. The result was instant and breathtaking. The soil thrives with life, all traces of salt poisoning removed. Tree's and plants grow in healthy abundance while the streams of Sanctum flow clean once more. Fish and small animals have returned to the grassy spot in Nowhere. Though the old Hollow was completely destroied by the Tsunami and beyond the strange lights power to restore, there is now a new strange landmark here instead. Nine stones, each softly glowing with the light from each element, form a perfect circle in the center of Nowhere.


In the Past: After the Emergance of Starreach, the resulting Tsumani appeared to completly obliterate Sanctum Glade. The receeding waters revealed the once peaceful and serene land to be torn and ruined. Trees that had once stood tall and proud had been ripped out by their roots, leaving gaping angry holes in the ground. The drying sea water left the ground crusted in salt, killing off the plants that once grew. The freshwater streams have been currently tainted, rendering it useless for drinking. For now, Sanctum Glade is a wasteland in the making....Sanctum Glade is still a cleansed part of Nowhere and is safe from Nightmares.


Further in the past: This little bit of world popped up quite suddenly. Blip! It's a grassy and hilly place with acres of land to go strolling through. During the day the sky is sunny and warm, and at night the wind is a pleasent cool breeze. The weather always seems to be enjoyable and a eternal spring appears to hold this place in it's grasp. Rabbits and field mice and other field dwelling creatures are abundant here, and theres even a few randomly scattered streams filled with silvery fish. There is a small clearing in the center of Sanctum where Dreams can gather now. A river bends into a U around the clearing, and a large hollow log provides a natrual playground for playful Dreams. Sanctum Glade is a cleansed part of Nowhere and is safe from Nightmares.

Nightmare Threat: None

A mysterious colorful light has painted itself over the landscape of Mourning Peaks, leaving behind a drastic change for the better. Water still remains trapped between the mountains, in the deepest gullies it has formed large lakes, however most of it seems to have been drained away. The waters are still cool, but not nearly as chill as before, and are now as clear as glass. Looking into their depths one can see underwater forests of waving plants and colorful fish darting about. The rocks themselves have lightened in color, taking on pastel hues of purple, grey, and blue. The waters have receeded from the enterance of the Earth Temple about fifty yards, leaving the only sandy white beach in all of Mourning Peaks behind.

In The past: A Mountainious realm still, the deep gullies of Mourning Peaks have become flooded with sea water. Like the broken maw of a fangy dragon, the mountains of Mourning Peaks are now seperated by winding sea water rivers. Incredibly dangerouse to navigate, the jagged peaks seem to promise to sink any vessel that would even try to coast through them, and the dark black depths seem colder then the ice encrusted tops of the mountains. The Earth Temple fortunatly is clear of the waters, located still on the side of a high mountain, the waters that currently flood Mourning Peaks is no further then twenty yards down from it's enterance!

Further in the Past: This world came with a rumble and a shake. Bordering to the south of Sanctum glade, a hazey mist seems to stretch out a few feet from the edges of both lands, to merge into a strange misty bridge that connects them. This land appears as a steep mountain range. Rocky crags and deep gullies and ravines create a confuseing labrynth between these monstrouse mountains. The tops rise up above a cloudline and are capped in fridged icey snow. Wind howls unceaseingly at the peaks. This part of Nowhere almost seems to be two places altogether! The cloudy blanket that cuts this enormous giant mountains in half completely obscures one half from the other. Light is very dim below the cloudline, and the entier bottom half of the mountains seems cloaked in a eternal dusk, while the deepest of gullies are cast into eternal night.


Mourning Peaks is a tainted part of Nowhere and Nightmares roam it freely.

With the passing of the mysterious light, Crimflow appears to be the most resiliant to it's restorative touch. The great river has melted it's black glass surface, and flows freely once more. Smaller riverette's wind away in offshoots from the great river, to form pools of liquid lava lakes dotting Crimflow. The fire temple still stands in the middle of a black glass lake, the stench of sulfur has subsided, though cracks still emitt hot gysers of steam and crimson light still flares within. A single volcano now remains active, feeding the great river while all other volcano's remain quiet and cool. The sky has cleared completely, to reveal not a serene blue, but searing red. Clouds formed of flame fly high overhead, flickering and dancing with crackling sounds.


In the past:Water and fire don't mix. That much is obvious. Crimflow is the first of the lands to...recover...from Starreach's emergance. With violent rumblings and explosions of lava from the ground, the water left behind by the Tsunami evapored quickly..leaving behind a smooth black expanse. The ground is hard as ice, and just as slippery. Black molten rivers of obsidian streak the land like the stripes on a zebra. From beneath the surface of this smooth shell violent rumblings shake the ground constantly. The fire temple now sits in plain view for all, a small shrine set in the smoothest lack of black glass in Crimflow. Cracks have begun to appear criss crossing the surface. Neon red glowing cracks from which sulfer wafts threateningly. The sky above is currently clear...but the trembling land itself makes it clear that Crimflow is not done changing yet....


Further in the Past: There is no sky here. Just dark black clouds of smoke that blot out all the area above. Rivers of glowing lava ooze slowly over this barren landscape. Nothing grows here, nothing at all. There is no water, no rain, no cool breezes. Ash lay's thickly upon the ground. Whatever land this may have once been has been turned into a inhospitable hell. Lava flow tubes worm their way through the land. Some still trickling the rock melting liquid, others dark and smooth and long since cooled. Volcano's dot the landscape like spots on a dalmation. Some merely smoke, some glow constantly with the bubbling lava at their heads. Others lay seemingly dormant for a time. A lake of literal fire burns in the heart of this land, a meeting place for all of the lava rivers that criss cross it. Nightmares can be seen traveling over the flat land with just a glance. In packs of two, three, and five, the wandering the land possessively.

The largest peice of nowhere to be discovered at one time, this is just what it is named, a large sea. Filled with many islands big and small, most have yet to be discovered and others are where nightmares seem to have made homes. Though not as big of a threat as Crimflow, there still are nightmares here and it is still dangerous for many dreams, that is if they seem to wish to swim miles upon miles to try and test their luck in this strange sea.

Starreach Islands:
There are an uncounted number of floating islands in Starreach Seas. These islands are, in short, small tropical style islands. White sandy beachs with palm trees, large exotic flowers and birds, and a few with freshwater sources. Most of these islands are uninhabited, a few have Nightmares wandering their shores.

There are three larger islands however, that have vacant cities upon them. Empty homes of white sandstone and shops lie emtpy from some past occupation. So far none of these cities have been rediscovered though, and only the myths of their exsistence float about. These Islands are part of Plot Devlopment and will not be discovered by anyone just through random roamings! I would also like to point out to everyone that Starreach is the largest piece of Nowhere to exsist. It will -not- be a easy piece of Nowhere to explore as it would take months just to travel from the northern shore to the southern shore alone. As time goes by, prominant Islands will be noted on the map, along with the currents path that they drift along. It should be noted that any islands that are discovered by other Dreams at this point will only be minor floating ones.

As a land emerging after the great Tsunami, Treedawn bares no scars. Though it is sort of hard to call a giant tree a 'land'. There is no doubt that it is a seperate piece of Nowhere. Standing at it's base, a dream can peer upwards into the clouds above and not see the top of Treedawn. The trunk appears to be twisted trunks of a thousand tree's, all interwoven together to form this giant tree. Over all, the girth of Treedawn rivals the entier expanse of Sanctuary, but don't be fooled! Climbing Treedawn appears easy, simply by walking along the wide winding limbs one can easily make their way up. But the path is long and takes a great deal of time. There appear to be gaps within the 'trunk' of Treedawn, allowing dreams to peer within to find 'tunnels' honeycombing the interior of Treedawn. Creeping plants of various sorts spot the outside of Treedawn, some plain, some flowering, and some with strange white berries that taste a bit like white chocolate.

Treedawn is host to hidden caves and secret passages. A small climb from the base there is a wide enterance way, that provides a quicker and safer route strait to the top of Treedawn itself. The lowest branchs of Treedawn canonly barely be seen peeking below the clouds that seem to swirl in a consistant clockwise motion about it. Once one makes it up past the cloudline, they enter a world of tree fort palaces, rope bridges, and swings crossing from one tree branch to another. The smallest branch of treedawn is easily the size of a 5 lane highway. Most surpriseingly of all, are the aerie nests that prove to be home of dragons! With wings and colors of every concievable sort, these horse sized dragons provide rides to wingless visitors...and catch the randomly falling dream that sometimes topples over the edge....

Thread Overseer is here! blaugh I'll be watching and guiding people in and through Nowhere, come to me or LC for questions. And I'm an also enabled to use Nightmares so if you run into me and I'm playing a nightmare, I'm sorry if I hurt your Dream, but what is life without a little chaos? And please, don't take it out on me or LC if your Dream gets hurt.
By the way, please, PLEASE, I beg you...Check over your posts before you post them for grammar mistakes and please don't post in the internet language.

Example: Then da Dream went 2 da cave & fought 4 nightmares at 1ce! Lol coo huh?

Please don't do that because if you do I will warn you the first time, but if I catch you doing that again after I've warned you, I will attack. ninja
And another thing: Please use past tense, it's confusing and hard on everybody's mind when they go back and forth between 'The Dream walks over to' and 'The Dream walked over to'.
