The Ruins Of Morla

Improved Essays
The model I created is a depiction of the world of Erilea. The main continent on which the Throne of Glass series happens. The map shows the full continent of Erilea from the northern Frozen Wastes and Terrasen to the Deserted Land and Eyllwe in the South. Starting In the upper left-hand side of the map I created the lands of the Frozen Wastes, complete with a mountain chain. This area even has the Ruins of Morla and the Jungle of Morla. Down from here is the land called the Western Wastes. This land is the land created when the Crocan witches of the Witch Kingdom cursed the land to never grow any plants or animals so long as the Blackbeak and Ironteeth witch clans tried to rule it or claim land there. As it was these clans fault for the almost …show more content…
This is a land made mostly of desert and sand. Hence the name. Within the Deserted lands, there are several sections; the Singing Sands, the Red Desert, the Black Dunes, the Black sands of Roth, and off slightly from the coast of the Black Sands of Roth are the volcano flows, that create the black sands. The Singing Sands are the section of the desert that is known to create illusions from those who wander through it. Singing them deeper into the sands and eventually killing them. Similarly to how Sirens call sailors into the sea, the Singing Sands call wanderers into her dry grasp. The Red Desert is the Red Desert because the sands are red. In this section of the Deserted Land is the home of the Silent Assassins. The Silent Assassins are the group of assassins that Celaena was sent to find and train with (they are notoriously hard to find and most get lost and die in the Singing Sands) after she ruined Arobynn’s slave trade deal with the Pirate King of the Dead Islands. After he beat the living daylights out of her and her partner, Sam. To the left of the home of the Silent Assassins is the Oasis of Barg. This is the most reliable oasis in most of the desert. It is supposedly around 20 miles away from the assassins home base. Although unfortunately, I was unable to properly scale the space between the two iconic areas, so it seems to be a far greater distance. The space between these places should not be used to scale the rest of the continent as the continent is quite a bit larger than what that scaling would suggest. Below the Red Desert are the Black Dunes and the Black Sands of Roth. Both of these sections were created from the volcanic flows of the volcano flows. The volcanic rocks were broken down to manifest the sands of the Black Dunes. Just above the Black Dunes and to the right of the Silent Assassins’ keep is the city of Xandria. Xandria this is where they occasionally go Above this city is the

    The History into the creation of the location of the Sand Creek Massacre or battle into a national historical site at the beginning of this century was as complicated a situation as the actual Sand Creek Massacre in 1864.

    Yes, mistakes are a key to great discoveries as they bring inventions and scientists closer to their original goals, as well as lead to unexpected discoveries. Proof exists that mistakes lead to great inventions because, according to the article “Lost cities, lost treasures,” in 1871 an adventurer named Heinrich Schliemann started digging in the ground of a Turkish city, seeking the lost city of troy”. Schliemann made a huge destruction around the area that he believed Troy lied on, but he was still able to find the lost city of Troy and the antiques. However in the article it says, “Schliemann’s actions erased important clues to Troy’s past.” Schliemann did find the lost city of Troy but he destroyed some of its land, but still managed…

    This valley is depicted in the book as being a gray and dull place, elaborating, “the gray land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it” (Fitzgerald 23). This location seems to represent death and is a place that rests on the burnt up garbage of the rich. The Valley of Ashes is the separation of the rich and the poor. The movie is able to represent by doing cut scenes or car chases among the two places, showing the differences in color by strongly contrasting the places, giving the richer land more greenery and grand houses, while the Valley of Ashes is exactly what is says it is. The valley is show as being dull gray, a lifeless area where even the people who live there are shown as being covered in filth and ashes.…
