Castle Paradox

This is as much as I plan to reveal at this time.

The main city of Zyzyx, Miton, is bordered on the north by the only castle still in use by the Zyzyxians: The Castle Paradox. To the west of Castle Paradox is the Color Temple, the cheif shrine of the rainbow. To the east of Castle Paradox is a mountain Range called "Dragon's Backbone". It is said that the Dragons live and breed in that area. South of the Dragon's Backbone is a swamp that was cursed by the Necromancers. To this day, it is called the Monochromatic Marsh. Very few, and very powerful, creatures live in that area. West of the swamp, but still east of the City, is a small forest known as the Annul Forest. The last remnant of the Orcenmans protect this area, and also the Annul, or Year, child was prophesied to come from these woods. West of the Color Temple is Mount Volvaggie. An active volcano, the area surrounding Volvaggie is the home of Fire Elemoids. North of Volvaggie is the Aegis Plateu. It is said that the ancients from before the Necromantic Wars communed with Velda on this plateu. South of Volvaggie is a strange valley called "Zoltra Valley". Zoltra Valley is the only home of the Electric Elemoids, and they sell tours of the Zap Fortress (which is rumored to contain a color shrine) to tourists. East of Zoltra Valley is Miton. South of Miton is Old Sutton, the ruins of an old city. South of Old Sutton is the Silvery White Knight's Tomb. West of The Tomb is Permafrost, to the east of The Tomb is the Aquirian Sea.

Melding the story to allusion CP it's self is an interesting idea... But I don't think it would offer anything valuable to the plot (hypothetically). It might just change the whole focus. Changing the focus of a plot is usually, if not always, very undesirable.

No, you see, those are just names I chose. Albeit, it was hevily influenced by my being here (just check out the shopkeeper's name when I set up the demo), the names have little to no relevance to the plot at all, except for the shopkeeper (how I'll set that up I'll never know...)
