Nope. Far from a first. I've been 'pinned' in all kinds of ways. If you want details, I'll send you a PM.

The town where I live is located in the middle of the Middle Europe. As usually it's rampant around the river. And its name in translation means something like "sill".

Here are everywhere mostly gothic buildings in the old centre and new ugly prefarb cages on the borders. But, everything together looks, somehow good, uh, ...familiar?

Here lived Faust btw, the first popular "demon" summoner. And Levi, first known golem creator and same others similar peoples in the deep past :libra:

The town with the Capitol, in the kingdom shaped like a fish, on the continent with a boot ...

It could be that here is also located Angelic castle?

I had a similar riddle in my description on the Heroespedia site:
The dragon's den lies somewhere in the Mountains, far to the East, on the banks of a river the Ancients called "the Dark Water", near the ruins of a long lost city... Here the dragon spends his days unraveling the mysteries of the worlds that are beyond the confines of our little Earth. The marvels of Antagarich and Enroth and Axeoth have never ceased to amaze him.
And add Ashan to that list. :-D

Nono, in the translation to english :D, as tLD noticed, the only right hint is hidden under my portrait..

Well, to be honest, I cannot say yes or no definitively, as I don't understand what is written on the page where you pinpoint me. The one language in which it it is is not the one from what I possesed. And in english it's herring and not sill, so it's not match at all :creative: :D

Yes, I know. I just though it was funny with "sill". BTW, which of thesewere you thinking of?

The two most likely seems to be
# Geology, a tabular mass of igneous rock that has been intruded laterally between layers of older rock
# Architecture, the bottom edge of a window

Well "on the mostly blue planet, around a yellow sun" didn't fit anymore!

Let's wait for the game to come out before we add anything to it, shall we.

Well, it may sounds strange but both of them (but none rigidly), as the graphical similarity is more important then if this will be for doors or mountains or anything other. It's shape.

That's good. But alas, no more room.

The long forgotten town is as its name implies: long forgotten. Or should I say, it's name, nationality and approximate whereabouts are the only thing we know, anything else fades into the darkness of History... I live in the area where the long forgotten town was supposedly found. It's probably pre-, during- and after-roman; pre-roman it most certainly is, as for during- and after-, I'm not so sure...

And the Dark River is actually the river's name meant in the tongue of the inhabitants of the long forgotten city, and it refers only to the colour of the water.
