From the CC FAQ - El Nido
« on: January 03, 2006, 03:32:51 pm »
I searched about to find a thread on this, to see if my question's been answered of my idea's been addressed.  I only found a little blurb on it in the CC FAQ, and since it's such an old, unnoticed thread, I thought it appropriate to start a discussion!   :D

Where is El Nido?

No one knows for sure; it's a small set of islands perhaps off the coast of Porre.


Really?  I always thought it was in Chorus Bay.  o_O;;;

I mean, the Giant's Claw is the ruins of the Tyrano Lair, which exists near/in the Chorus Bay in 600 ad.  But by 1000 ad, the Claw has submerged underwater.  In El Nido, the Sky Dragon Isle (I think it was sky) is actually the ruins of the Terra Tower.  Aren't the Tyrano Lair and Terra Tower the same thing?  If they are, that would put El Nido in Chorus Bay.  I mean, on the 65 mill BC overworld map, the Tyrano Lair looks pretty damn advanced.  The first time I saw it, I thought it was something out of 2300 ad or something.  And it could account for why the Reptites are much more advanced than the humans of the era.  I dunno, just throwin ideas out.

Also, we know that even though the Reptites were 'said' to go extinct, some did survive.  There's that runner in the Fair, and he must have family, or at least parents.  When CC's Terra Tower appeared in 7600 bc (which is kind of odd, really... there's no reason for it to work that way! :P ) what would those dragonians have said to the world's reptites?  Or perhaps dragonians and reptites look almost identical anyway, just as humans and proto humans look very similar.  So there's another question, is the Fair runner a surviving reptite or a dragonian?  And would the Reptite remnants and their isolated/submerged Giant's Claw have teamed up with the Dragonians and their Terra Tower?

There's more than likely some small CC quotation that nix's my idea, but I'm just typing as I think.  I find it's the best way to organize new ideas.  :P

Tyrano Lair and Dinopolis are not the same thing.

The Green Ambler is commonly considered a guy in a costume.

Really?  I've never heard that.  I thought when the NPC references the 'guy in a costume' he meant the armor suited mystic type.

Oh well, back to the drawing board.   :lol:

Wasn't it west of the main continents?

I say its commonly thought of as a guy in a costume, but personally I think its a Reptite.  But it just doesn't logically make enough sense for it to be a reptite.
