I investigated the real-life location of AO

Acheron probably fucked it up

Which magic can turn the earth’s crust into puzzle pieces and movd them around, and then swap the location of the magnetic field?

the Acheron nuke special

can’t quote cuz I’m on mobile but about the 3 times ppl travelled between war and seven seas, I know Randal is likely and so is Averill but who’s the third

a fuckton of curses being thrown out at once at someone

Yeah vetex says Durza screwed up the earths axial tilt with his nuke

the seven seas are, as several people have mentioned, on the opposite side of the planet.

Theos is in the seven seas because of a world damaging supernuke acheron threw at him that fucked up countries, killed like 80% of people, and sent the two flying really far from each other

Randal, Averill then The Prince of the Thornes

There was a thread about this, technically its a result of Vetex (reasonably) not having done the exact math of the AU (who would tbf), but the in-lore reason is the Earth’s Axis was disrupted by the Nuke at Oberon.

Maybe, but it is what it is :person_shrugging:

It’s pretty reasonable to assume the two are related since both also share cultural similarities.

They both have Egyptian Cultures (The Seven Seas had 2), both have Vastus (The Giants) The Seven Sea had living half-breeds, but you can find a Vastus Skeleton at Frostmill (Keraxe also according to the Keraxe Traveller at Ravenna, “The Home of Giants”).
Both also have Japanese Cultures, and both have similar climates, although this could just be because Vetex wanted to recreate alot of AA’s features because AO is it’s spiritual successor.

So yeah, I do actually think the War Seas and the Seven Seas are actually pretty close to eachother, atleast compared to the other Sea Clusters.

And Durza clearly had enough time to quickly snipe the Corpses of Prometheus and Zeus from Olympus after Theos had died. (without being noticed during war time btw)

correct me if I’m wrong but with wom lore getting retconned I don’t think John Thorne’s story is gonna be exactly the same in AO, if he even exists at all. I still do think he is the crown prince though

that’s what I think

well docs does say they’re on the other side of the world from eachother but u do u

Randal did not fly above the dark sea from the distance of China to the US with the GROWTH curse. Probably not any for that matter.

u never know

also I found a 4th guy and another candidate for a seven seas dude we meet in the story, trigno.

I mean you’re right, he probably didn’t fly across the Dark Seas. Tech has said before that part of Randal’s power set with the Growth Curse is to see through nature, so that’s probably how he knows so much about the world

tech randal 1
tech randal 2
tech randal 3

And yes I know these are some pretty old statements, but they still line up with what the Growth Curse is

That does make sense, he seems fairly omnipotent when you’re surrounded by walls of tree.

you mean acheron?


whoops wrong one

do we know what Durza’s physical, non-Chaos form looks like? and other than the picture of him from behind do we know what Cursebeard looks like?

(didn’t play AA, just so you know)

durza’s only trait we know is that he had curly black hair

MORDEN??? (full sentence)

Wait I’m pretty sure I remember someone saying that Morden was the only character who hadn’t seen Warren on the forums

Sadly, I think all we have is this.


I believe that’s Tobi’s official account, and that’s just about as good as it gets for official Durza visuals.

On the bright side, you can ignore that and it’ll be up to you.

Its a concept not really anything to be taken as official

My interpretation looks like this


The only time in the story where his age is brought up, he’s like, 12.
