Anyone know how many dwarven feet per dwarven yard, and how many dwarven yards per square on the map?
Tien Zao
After
traversing the foothills, we approached a sheer cliff that I estimate
at 15,000 Dwarven Yards that appeared to be banded gneiss with dikes of
granite orthogneiss A
deep gong chimed and the gates grated open (with, I believe, quite a
bit more noise than Dwarven gates would have made) to show a wide set of
stairs running deep into a tunnel. We followed the tunnel for 4,943
steps (none of which, I can assure you, were made with Dwarven legs in
mind) through another thick portal.
What
greeted us was quite inspiring. There was a vast valley stretching out
in front of us for approximately 30 miles. Sub branches of the valley
reached off to both sides and a chalky aquamarine glacial river ran the
length of the valley. And, most spectacularly, there were enormous snow
capped peaks surrounding the lot.
We
followed a meticulously constructed paving stone road (reminiscent of
the way the roads must have been in the heyday of the Imperium) down the
length of the valley. Upon nearing the end of said valley, I became
aware of what I perceived to be a switch back laden goat path up one of
the larger peaks in front of us. Little did I know that that was the way
to the Holy Monastery of Qi Quien. Needless to say, it was a tad
tedious traipsing up said path for 7,623 of my steps.
I
was granted an audience with a Monastic Superior, Zen Shi. I was
escorted through what was approximately 3,500 Dwarven Yards of corridors
in the mountain,
After
another 2,376 Dwarven Yards moving deeper into the mountain, we were
ushered into what must have originated as a wildly unusual Basalt
construct comprised of a volcanic airpocket, but was then expanded upon.
It is basically an enormous vertical cavern stretching for thousands of
Dwarven yards vertically, but also connected to other similar caverns
through passages, all honeycombed by catwalks and throughout which are
millions of filled scrollshelves. I had heard they had a library here,
but no Dwarf, to my knowledge, has ever seen one like this.
It looks like directions, and i tried to scout a bunch of locations near Qi Quien, with no luck so far.
there is a building that is close that i thought would possibly be part of that but scouts turned up nothing. Any help on clarification of the measurements from the devs would be appreciated.
