| This would be one of those "blah" areas I was talking about to Starhound. Or at least he responded with something that sounded like interest, so that's what I took it for. Looking at the wiki page, no one has bothered to fill in any of the information, and with good reason. There is nothing here. One NPC that is part of an outdated quest that didn't even work until Marcosy stepped in and jiggled the handle. | This would be one of those "blah" areas I was talking about to Starhound.

| - | So the part where I thought Starhound was talking to me was he asked "what would you do to fix it?" First thing would be to put it on a 3d map.

There's a ton of stuff much more interesting than what is in these Trivia questions, and can be tied better to the area they are used in. Like the whole Hyperion vs the other sun gods story. Mind blown. Little bits of info like that make this place really interesting and definitely not a cookie cutter mud. Things have evolved and changed. Except a few places like this place, and apparently most of the Trivia quest. | + | So the part where I thought Starhound was talking to me was he asked "what would you do to fix it?" |

| Blow guns, atlatls, spears, blow gun darts that do cool things when launched, obsidian weapons, ithyphallic golden idols, healing salves that you rub on your skin, oils of protection from <foo> that you can rub on your skin, demonic hearts trapped in weapon forms, sacrificed virgins trapped into pieces of armour, bloodstone amulets that give the wearer totemic animal powers, jungle fruits, chilled monkey brains, snake surprise. Lots of ideas for this place. Okay, maybe not those last two since that may be a different culture, but whatever. Rant over for now. I will probably think of more stuff the next time I am forced to come to this area to either finish exploring for that last room or two, or another toon has to do the Trivia Quest. | Blow guns, atlatls, spears, blow gun darts that do cool things when launched, obsidian weapons, ithyphallic golden idols, healing salves that you rub on your skin, oils of protection from <foo> that you can rub on your skin, demonic hearts trapped in weapon forms, sacrificed virgins trapped into pieces of armour, bloodstone amulets that give the wearer totemic animal powers, jungle fruits, chilled monkey brains, snake surprise.

This would be one of those "blah" areas I was talking about to Starhound. Or at least he responded with something that sounded like interest, so that's what I took it for. Looking at the wiki page, no one has bothered to fill in any of the information, and with good reason. There is nothing here. One NPC that is part of an outdated quest that didn't even work until Marcosy stepped in and jiggled the handle.
So the part where I thought Starhound was talking to me was he asked "what would you do to fix it?" 1.) Put it on a 3d map. 2.) Modernize the Trivia quest so that it is easier to update when the lore gets modified. 3.) Jungle herbs for various healing effects 4.) Jungle poisons (colossal scorpion venom, amphiptere venom, tree frog poison) 5.) More to come as I sort out whatever I was trying to say below.
