Pierce Brosnan as Atreyu.
We were discussing how long it takes a city to grow from first settlers to proper city as I'm working out a timeline for the youngest city in my Save the Dragon campaign. We got a bit sidetracked...
Nihaniel says, "I can't remember whether it was a movie, scene, story or dream, but I have all of these images in my head of a city on a dark lake."
Nihaniel says, "It has to have been SOMEthing. It's too strong a memory for the glimmerings that usually pop up at random reminders."
Minim says, "City on a dark lake? Sheboygan?"
Nihaniel says, "No clue what that is. :P"
Nihaniel says, "Reminds me of toboggans though!"
Minim says, "Could be Cleveland also."
Nihaniel says, "There were stone buildings and drow and other races, too, ugly ones, and things built into the side of the cliffs, and a special place on an island over the deep water, with bad beasties in the water to keep the Bad Things away."
Nihaniel says, "Does that sound familiar to anybody or is my head just making things up for itself again?"
Feverfew wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the old D&D modules describing Underdark.
Nihaniel never read those.
Nihaniel says, "My first real exposure to drow was Lara."
Minim says, "That's probably the name of Shyntle's new city. "Travel to the elvish town of Maerk'ann, from there through the Forest of Our Lady Braicen, to the foot of the Mount Gryphonwing, and there you will find the Holy City of Cleveland."
Minim says, "Ruled over by Archbishop Dreww'Carrie."
Shynt'lara says, "Could be the Silver City of Amarganth, which sits on a lake made of acidic tears."
Nihaniel says, "Oooh pretty name."
Nihaniel says, "Doesn't sound familiar, though I saw a movie once on Syfy with an acidic lake and people dissolving in it."
Minim says, "That's Dante's Peak I think."
Shynt'lara says, "It's from the Neverending Story."
Minim says, "With Pierce Brosnan."
Nihaniel says, "Ahh, never have read the full book."
Nihaniel says, "I only own it in the original German."
Nihaniel says, "I've read the first page about sixty zillion times though."
Minim says, "Oh, well they did the acid lake in the volcano story too :p"
Nihaniel says, "So I can tell you all about bells which klingeln."
Nihaniel says, "A little cluster of brass bells above the door with a glass window with the words all printed backwards from inside."
Shynt'lara says, "The Neverending Story. With Pierce Brosnan."
Nihaniel tries to picture him as Atreyu.
Minim says, "I kind of imagine he would just show up as James Bond. "How did you get through the Swamp of Sadness so quickly?!" Aston Martin's don't get sad and mine turns into a jet boat."
Shynt'lara says, "Hee!"
Nihaniel laughs.
