It's also a shame that there aren't all that many sources of identification for quite a few things within the game(s). For example:
1) (SI) Just a bit North of monitor, there's this two story ophidian house. It's probably the most "ruined" set of ruins I've ever seen in my life. There's more rubble both in and around it than building. I wonder what it used to be. And to actually place that much rubble is a pain, I'll bet. Why go to all the trouble to making it so "detailed," as well as adding the tiny "second floor," (Consisting of only the staircase, made out of bricks.) if you aren't even going to expand on it?
(Unless I'm missing something.)
2) (SI) There is an odd church somewhat southwest of Fawn. Just follow the dirt path, and you'll reach a large series of dead trees, dirt, and rubble, with a dead giant with a dead child, with some magical substances (reagents, a wand, some coins, I think..) and the church itself is a large open walled area, with this towering red lighted wall, that you can walk through to teleport yourself into the middle of a lake of fire, more or less, with a series of (waking) wingless gargoyles who all attack you. The room there is filled with skeletons (non-living.) of various sorts, including bear and what may be dragon, (Though I doubt that.) with a certain amount of Gargish jewelery. ... Darn it, why doesn't this thing have an explanation? o_O
(Unless I'm missing something.)
3) (SI) On Monk Isle, in the underground, there is a "central area" with a portcullis and such. Who are those corpses underneath there, and why do they have such great stuff, including the key to... Yes, where DOES that key fit? O_o It's probably to something nearby.
(Unless I'm missing something.)
4) (SI) Moonshade: Lower East Corner: There is an odd house here, seemingly decimated. Garbage all over, (Which harms you if you step on it.) There's a tentacle in the water near a fishing pole. Okay, I guess this time, you can guess what happened.
*heh heh*5) (BG) On the island to the west of BucDen, there is an abandoned shack. The only thing useful there are two gold nuggets.
6) (SI) On the mainland, there are all sorts of funky, funky things. One of which includes a manor to the east of the entrance of the mainland entrance of Furnace and south of the ophidian sheep glade. There is nothing good inside this manor, other than what you find on the bodies of the trolls. Why is this manor here? Who used to inhabit it? It's probably the most destroyed yet recent place in that general area. Freaky.
7) (SI) A bit to the northeast of that, or maybe just north, there is a clearly unfinished house. Although there is a diary there, I wonder who (Which in-game character.) it would have belonged to.
8) (SI) In the forest to the east, I believe, of the entrance to the Goblin tunnels north of Knights Test, there is a house where everybody is dead, (It was a reasonably nice house too.) and animals are attacking you for no good reason. I have reason to believe that this is Edwin's (The ex-parrot's) house. But again, I'm really not sure.
(NOTE: At this point, if you're wondering what that "House of Wares" place is to its southwest, I think, .. that area is clearly explained, more or less. It isn't that much of a mystery. Inquire if you're curious.)
9) (SI) On Northern Moonshade, I believe, there is a dark/black ritual sacrifice area, with a few spiders and their webs. There is a spider insignia here, along with a (virgin?) sacrifice, already slaughtered. I believe she had a poisoned dagger. (Makes sense, as it's probably INSIDE of her.) This area is pretty much unexplained, I suppose.
(BY THE WAY! Underneath the black surface, there is an Infinity Bow. You may have to do some hack-moving though to get at it. )
10 (SI) Somewhere near that, (And I have forgotten if this was north of #9, or #7 on this list. Two different mainlands, if Moonshade is big enough to count as a "main"land.) There is a long series of panels on the floor, (CONSISTING of the floor, actually.) with some junk on them, leading up to a pedestal with either a helm, or a 2-H sword on it. In back of this is a fenced off area with some viking paraphernalia. (Interesting helmet.) There is a stairs far to the north which leads to this area, but you'll have to fight some nagas to reach the fenced off area. No problem there. I wonder what this was for. It's a very odd area. o_o
11) (SI) If you follow the coast northward from the area with the Kings Savior flowers, there is a dead pirate in a purple suit lying on the seashore. (Yes, on the water.) He seems to possess nothing. I wonder what did him off. .... He was probably originally from that landing party far to the south.
12) (SI) There are quite a few caves hidden in the mountains. Such caves are found mostly along the southern sides of the mountains along the South coast (Well, north of there.) of Moonshade, and the southern mountains east and west of the mining camp north of the Serpent Gate north of Gorlab Swamp. They don't really mean all that much, .. but.. I just wonder how/why they got there. No big deal. But they seem like they can have a little plot of their own, kinda like they were hiding an invasion force. The cave in Southern Moonshade holds weapons and some food supplies. One of the caves hides a mongbat as well.
