Talk:Oregent/Conflicts
Maps
Position
Oregent's position is in conflict between several official sources.
- Andoran, Spirit of Liberty inside front cover positions Oregent west of the Andoshen River, significantly south of a southerly bend in the Arthrosh River, and east of the northern Nogortha Peaks.
- Spirit of Liberty 14 describes Oregent as being on the Andoshen River instead of the Arthrosh River.
- Andoran, Birthplace of Freedom inside front cover positions Oregent west of the Andoshen River, on the river's southern shore beyond a southerly bend in the Arthrosh River and in the eastern central Nogortha Peaks.
- Birthplace of Freedom 20 depicts a city-scale map of Oregent along the southern shore of the Arthrosh River surrounded by grassland.
- The Inner Sea Poster Map Folio positions Oregent west of the Andoshen River, on the southern shore of a northerly bend west of the southerly bend in the Arthrosh River in the eastern central foothills of the Nogortha Peaks. This position is consistent with the locator map in The Stolen Heir 3.
- The People of the River map of the Sellen River positions Oregent at the western end of the unlabeled Arthrosh River, in the eastern central foothills of the Nogortha Peaks.
- The World Guide poster map depicts Oregent as being on the northern shore of the Arthrosh River, which is unlabeled, and east of the northern extent of the Nogortha Peaks.
- World Guide 121 depicts Oregent as being on the southern shore of the Arthrosh River, on the southerly bend east of the northern extent of the Nogortha Peaks.
This conflict is irreconcilable. The position on World Guide 121 is used as the closest thing to an authoritative published book source. -Oznogon (talk) 19:59, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Candlestone Caverns
I found a conflict that falls outside the scope of our canon policy. When looking up information on the town of Oregent both sources I've found, Andoran, Spirit of Liberty and the Campaign Setting, describe the Candlestone Caverns as being east of the settlement. Spirit of Liberty goes so far to say the caves lie "just to the east" of Oregent.
However, when looking at the maps of Andoran provided in both sources, not only do the Candlestone Caverns not appear to the east of Oregent, but they are over 330 miles to the northwest. Has anyone seen this brought up? I'm thinking the only way to handle this conflict is to seek clarification from Paizo, if it has not been done already. --User:VestOfHolding, 14:52, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
- Maps in Dungeons of Golarion; Andoran, Birthplace of Freedom; and World Guide also consistently place Candlestone Caverns well northwest of Oregent, consistent with Spirit of Liberty, Campaign Setting, and Inner Sea World Guide.
- The text of Birthplace of Freedom 37 describes the Caverns as including an entrance via Nar-Voth in "the region around Darkmoon Vale". Birthplace 40 and Dungeons of Golarion 5 describe the caverns as having multiple entrances, especially after an earthquake in 4510 AR, but the map of the caverns on 6 depicts all of the entrances as being within 170 feet of each other. The Inner Sea World Guide 45 also notes the earthquake damaged Oregent.
