Where the portal is? Or where we're located ICly?

The dream is in Imaginarium near the corner.  You can also 'join Etla Isle, the bot will auto-summon.

As for IC location. It can be found southwest of Kasuria, but exists in another realm/dimension. The waters around it serve as a rift, allowing people to travel back and forth between realms and times.

Hi, so I think I'm blind or something, but I can't seem to find out where the dream is or a page telling me as such.  So I must ask, where is Eileadora located?

It's good to know.


Etla - I've always pronounces Eht-lah


Avalbane - Being elvish is Ayv-hal-bah-nyi, though sometimes even Fye ("Fjeh") goes which the more likely bastardized Ahv-all-bayn given the time since the kingdom's destruction.

This is where the IPA comes in handy:

Render: ˈɹɛn.dəɹ

Key Sorel: kiː sə.ˈɹɛl

Bean Wiggenaut: bin ˈwɪ.gən.ˌaʊt

I definitely obliterated the last name but was pretty close on the first.

While we're at it..

I've always pronounced Eileadora as Eye-lee-door-ah

@Render, I would love to answer that for you:


Phonetically as I can get it without using a true phonetic spelling it's as below:


Fyedakin [Fjeh-duh-keen] - Note the Fj sound just like Fjord for those lovely little inlets on the Nordic coasts!
Xiloscient [Hi-low-she-ent] - Nothing super fancy here


As for meanings, Fyedakin holds special meaning in the creature's original native tongue. He hasn't told anyone just what that meaning is, though, so ask him ICly! Xiloscient is a common surname among elvish families meaning Golden Petal.

@Fyedakin, how are we supposed to pronounce the name @Fyedakin Xiloscient? Is it only pronounceable by people named @Fyedakin? Can @Fyedakin tell us the meaning of the name @Fyedakin?

@Aantara, I thought this thread needed a little love.


To everyone else out there, I've been involved in the Etla Isle community since the early 2000's (and boy do I mean early!) so don't hesitate to throw any questions you may have about the dream or the continuity out there. :)
