Wed Aug 04, 2010 7:06 am Placement of the Sinking Isle

The Canonfire Wiki suggests that the Sinking Isle "in the waters between Asperd Isle and Winetha", yet I cannot find further references to this in Greyhawk Adventures. I note there is a nice deep chasm in the water, there, in some older maps, yet I thought the Isle was further out to sea.

Further out to sea? Do you mean on the other side of Asperd Isle? Greyhawk Adventures says, "It is also said that the rise of the Sinking Isle is most likely in storms or fog. At such times coastal traders and pirates, who normally seek the protected inner passage between Asperd Isle and the Solnor's unpredictable waves, either go the long way round or stay aport."

If the part of the sea where the Sinking Isle rises is the "inner passage," then it must be between Asperd Isle and Winetha, right? Not necessarily directly at Winetha's latitude, but in that body of water, the Bay of Gates.

Good catch. I was already looking at that massive hole in the water that needs an island in it, but it's nice to have a verified source to fall back on.

I was shooting for a mix of man-made and natural. I have not placed ruins, yet: http://web.me.com/aeolius/turucambi/Gallery/Pages/Turucambi_Gallery.html#22

For my images of Turucambi reef, I used a black & white image of the aztec sun calendar as my inspiration. I found a higher-resolution image for this piece.

Very nice, Aeolius. I hope you'll include some of the other work in your gallery in your final Sinking Isle pictorial. Cool
