Gateway Game

[Niniel]

Welcome travelers! You are now going to go through some gateways and your task is to find out where you are. The destination is in a fantasy/sci fi world but it´s not the world itself that is the destination. For example, if the destination is the Black Tower, the right answer is the Black Tower, not Randland or whatever we call it. The destination could be a planet, a city, a building etc. I will give you five clues. You get more points the earlier you make the right guesses. You are a group, so discuss what you think it is, and then write the guess in a way that I see it´s the groups choice. (Like Official: Black Tower.)  There is no time limit.

Wow! I have never seen a city like this!

[Sooh]

A city. That makes me think Tar Valon immediately. Other fantasy and sci-fi cities? hm... Minas Tirith, though idk if it would be described that way. The Capitol from Hunger Games? 

 

other ideas guys?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i can think of anything without more clues. or rather i can think of too many things. 

[Basel Gill]

Ankh-Morpork from Discworld?

[Dar'Jen Ab Owain]

Definitely need more to work from. So many cities?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I've never seen a city like this makes me think there's something strange about it but again, sci fi fantasy, probably at least one in every world.

 

 

[Sooh]

What do we do? Guess one and get a second clue or just ask for a second clue?

[Niniel]

You get one guess at each level. Just saying. ?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I don't read any Sanderson but I know Niniel does. Is there a unique city in his universe?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Well I'm ok with whatever you want to make an official guess, @Sooh. I don't think we can puzzle anything out yet.

[Sooh]

@Songstress hasn't commented yet. Let's see what she has to say before we guess something ?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

sounds good ? 

[Songstress]

Sorry, yesterday got away from me.

 

First thing that popped to mind was Tar Valon - if we don't get penalized for incorrect guesses, I'd go there, otherwise wait for more clues.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I'll third it

[Sooh]

Group guess: Tar Valon

[Niniel]

Sorry, that is not the right answer. 

 

For 4 points. 

 

I hear that the palace have a useful library. 

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Cairhien, Caemlyn, Bandar Eban in WoT 

[Sooh]

The Citadel in Game of Thrones where Sam went?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Ooohhh

The city was called Oldtown.

[Songstress]

The citadel wouldn't be the palace, though...

 

Palace with a library in an impressive city.... hmmmm......

 

Was the library in Cairhien officially part of the palace?

 

Trying to think of other SF/F series where there are libraries mentioned.  I am less helpful than I want to be.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

its the royal library but not in the palace...

 

theres a series called palace library or something like it, kids or YA, but I haven't read it.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Royal palace library in Caemlyn is inside the palace. Not sure how useful it is.

Minas Tirith from Lord of the Rings. Gandalf went to the library there. Would that be considered a palace?
