Kresselack Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I have had the maps that came with Oblivion stapled on my bedroom wall. Every time I look at the shape of the landscape I see a face or a creature. The map of cyrodiil shows the head of a dragon of some sort or the complete head of a monster. The river that separates Cyrodiil with Valenwood could be its mouth, Anvil or Kvatch could be the nostril, and Chorrol is the eye. The Imperial city could be its ear I guess. I also looked at the Shivering Isles map and found another creature. I looks like it is in a feedle position like an embryo. The Jester's Spine mountians and the Heretic's horn could be the head and neck. The mountain range in the middle seems to be a long arm. The Fringe seems to be the rear-end of the creature. Does anybody else see them too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curratum Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 If I try really hard I can make out a horse/dragon type of head in the Oblivion map but I think you've just been staring at the maps for too long, no offence :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteRealm Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I understand what you mean, I have the Cyrodiil map stuck up behind me, but I found that the Anvil Bay (whats the correct name, someone?) was the mouth of this 'creature' With shivering isles i found the same kind of shape though, and also there is a twisted face at the centre made of of the water , the mouth being the Hill of Suicides, and the twose lakes with tiny islands in above it the eyes. I dont think this is todo with staring at maps to long, thank you Curratum, but because I like to look for hidden shapes within shapes, and meanings within words.

Kresselack Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Good to hear that others have seen the same thing, which proves that I am not insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sypron Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Actually, the Shivering Isles is meant to resemble a skull, from the side. The bay in the south-east is an agape mouth. New Sheoth is the 'brain' and The Fringe is, well, a fringe. It was a long time ago, but I remember one of the dev's mentioning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
