Given the significance of the Inner Sea, did it impact near there, and create the crater-like structure that is Yaraq, the A’mun Desert, and the Yushad Ridge? We know (or rather, Alatar Locke speculated) that the A’mun Desert was once lush and fertile. | Text = It was never discussed, but I'd added a structure on the global map that I'd intended to be the point of impact. I placed it as far away from the known civilizations as was possible. There was lore mention of the fireball being sighted and the subsequent ash cloud, but no talk of seeing the actual impact or of a tsunami, which I felt would have been noted by the island-dwelling Yalaini. <br /><br /> [[File:Stormwaltz Q&A image 2.jpeg]] <br /><br /> For a long time, there was no global map of the planet. There was a rough sketch of the area surrounding Dereth in one of the old "Empyrea" history docs. It appears to have been made with MS Office drawing tools, possibly by Eri Izawa: <br /><br /> [[File:Stormwaltz Q&A image 3.jpeg]] <br /><br /> While I was on the team, there was no mention of Falatacot habitation on mainland Haebrous; we tended to regard them as a culture unique to Killiakta. <br /><br /> I made the original version of the global map myself, scribbling it on a 3-by-5 inch index card. Sean Huxter turned that abomination into the version in-game. <br /><br /> A personal friend of mine, Robert Wild, later used Photoshopped satellite imagery to make a version now only found on [http://www.imaginaryatlas.com/2013/03/29/dereth-in-context-the-world-of-asherons-call/ The Imaginary Atlas]. | Developer = [[Turbine Developers#Chris "Stormwaltz" L'Etoile|Chris "Stormwaltz" L'Etoile]] }} [[Category:Stormwaltz Quotes]]
