Ineffable Wingbolt Milla Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Anyone who has played the other Avernum games will remember the castle ruins SW of Formello. There is always something to kill there for a quest. Anyway, I'm doing updating of some of the articles on the Encyclopedia Ermariana and I realised I don't remember what happened to the that place during A6. Can anyone assist me with this?

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm pretty sure that it was a complete ruin by then. The area was under the Slith Scourge control and their commander had his own place to the north of the river and just a guard post in the area to the south overlooking the Eastern Gallery.

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 nothing at there in A6, I guess Sliths "redecorated" it and made it their battlehall or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Kreador Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 There was that Nephil place over across the river. Trying to figure out how the two maps match up can be weird, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 At A6 Sliths arena/whatever, where player battles with Solberg against Sliths, resides where Neph Castle was. A5 didn't visit anywhere near Formello and A4 walkthrough doesn't mention anything about Nephs at Formello quests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Milla Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 ^ A4 does mention ruins in the same area and they are used as bandit HQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Thoukydides Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If you are referring to the Nephilim Fortress where you find Anastasia and Mayor Evelyn's necklace in A1, then in A6 those ruins are occupied by the lich Kavarus and his undead minions.

Ineffable Wingbolt Milla Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 ^Yes, yes I was. Thank you very much now I find the correct file with the dialogue much more easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 geographically that fortress should be where Sliths have built their aerie but apparently not. Kavarus place is bit more to east than that Neph fortress but like its been said A1 geography =/= A6 geography. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Thoukydides Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Actually I think that particular area matches up rather well. Using the Annotated Maps, if you compare the area between Cotra and Fort Draco for Avernum 1, 2, 4, and 6 you can find the fortress in every game. It lies just to the east of where the Formello/Draco river turns to the north. Earth Empires, are you talking about the area west of the Horned Gate? In A1 that area was an unfinished Nephil fort called the Goblin Caves, not to be confused with the Nephil Fortress or the Nephar Fort. I just realized how confusing the dungeon names are in Avernum, there are two Slith Forts, and a Slith Island Fort. Not to mention the Spider Cave, an Aranea Cave, an Aranea City, a Ruined Fort, a Ruined Bandit Lair, a Bandit Lair, a Bandit Fort, a Gremlin Cave and Gremlin's Gold. Sadly, Avernum 6 isn't any better with its 9 Occupied Land areas, 7 Abyss areas, and 20 Eastern Gallery areas. So it's really not surprising that we mix up locations like this.

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 yea I'm talking horned gate-area which fills area between Nephilim Fortress and Goblin Cave (my opinion),. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
