WhoCares 0 Posted June 28, 2002 While looking for Spitzbergen/Svalbard I found this map. And then I thought, hmmm, maybe not Svalbard, but what about Edgeoya in the SE of it?! the proportions would fit at least a little better (not that much stretching necessary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted June 30, 2002 C'mon! Ain't we got a single geography nerd - uh - expert on the forum, who can figure out what real world island Nogova is based upon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kegetys 2 Posted June 30, 2002 The island is fictional so dont waste your time with the maps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lazarus_Long 0 Posted June 30, 2002 Closest one I could find was the Island Limnos near Greece. Still not a perfect match... I don't know: An almost square island with deserts, mountains, large plains and a mysterious river running through the middle...hmmm. Nogova may be pretty, but it seems a little bit too odd looking to be geologically feasible. Of course I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No one mentioned a tunnel here until you ask this question. The only tunnels I know about are the ones Kegetys is tinkering with using the WrpEdit program.
