The puzzle of the Marlborogh City:

Unlike new modern types of corals that appeared in the Early Triassic and Devonian periods, the two coral atolls that are the main characteristic features of the Marlboro city archipelago are an exception due to their very young nature. It surprises many scientists that the atolls were able to achieve this degree of growth and aging within such a short time.


There are more interesting observations that are outright puzzling:

• The Silversand atoll (the smaller) has distinct volcanic subsidence characteristics, however, it has a high central peak (see Zion Island), pronounced outward radial formations (the four major islands, Dutch Fort, Goodhugh, Spade and Silversand, and eight smaller islands) and terraced patterns with submerged radial features pointing towards the center of the atoll so characteristic of Tycho-type impact craters(!) on the Moon
  
• the Scotch atoll has an impact crater characteristics, except that together with the Silversand atoll it lacks geological composition - no brecciated rock, no laminated or molten rocks, and no central peak
  
• both atolls are ellipses and their major axes have a common alignment along 15 degrees true north
  

The perfect green flatness of the Emerald Valley's Braided Rivers

This is just a small gardening section of the lush and fertile Emerald Valley. This small field is located in the braided rivers section of the valley, between the rivers Yahalma and Glada.

The Yahalma Guardians, the pillars below are two of many that are so unique to the Island. The valley has only 5 of the famous pillars. These are natural, even though they appear as if built on purpose on both sides of a river branch that rejoins the Yahalma river that is seen in the foreground. Scientists have a tentative theory that a sudden cataclysmic draining of Glada's mountain lake (that was 600-900 meters deep in some places) sent catastrophic amounts of water scouring the paths of the river, carving a new landscape out of mountains nearby and in the Valley.


Further north, the mountains that separate the Valley from the Atlantic ocean, encroach on the braided rivers area. Though the rivers and their branches are shallow, nevertheless there is moderate shipping to be found, mainly for transporting tourists and the Valley's agricultural products. After a major rain the rivers become loaded with silt, as seen here. The minibarges are tied up at many of the shoals in the braided rivers.


This is the pristine look of the untouched braided rivers section. Actually, the islands are used to grow nut trees.

There is another spectacular view of the valley and its braided rivers here.

How scary is the MTG Terminator assault gun?

Maarheinigt is different from the rest of the island military in its weapons. Its assault weapon is MTG "Terminator," seen recently from news footage of the captures of Gibraltar, Cyprus and Namibia. No Maarheinigt soldier has ever discussed its technical data though. The Attland never sells or shows any of its military weapons, including the Terminator.

What is known is that it is a unique, three caliber weapon. Combining a 12 Gage shotgun barrel on center top, a 9 MM barrel on the right hand side of the shooter, and the NATO 5.56x45 caliber barrel on the left, the gun is not light.

However, the gun is made using Brog Corporation's custom-manufactured polyesters, into which the metal barrels are embedded. The result is still a light weapon for its cumbersome outline, and most of all, well-balanced. Maarheinigt soldiers were seen firing it with with one hand only, hence the nickname of the Terminator.

The weapon is pre-sited with its own, Koborg Optics' purpose-designed ACOG-like sight contained inside the carrying handle, comes with bipod, detachable sniper scope, night and star sights, Brog's D-size isotope batteries, a silencer for the 9 MM barrel, and attachable bag for capturing spent shells. In addition to standard shotgun ammunition, the 12 gauge chamber can also fire specially made explosive slugs containing electrical discharge or conventional explosives, as well as sub-caliber munitions.

The muzzle and the general cosmetics look like the designers borrowed from Israel's Desert Eagle and Tavor, and some versions of the gun also look like a Pancor Jackhammer. The 10-round 12 gauge cartridge magazine and the 20-round 5.56 MM magazine are inserted in the rear, side-by-side slots, almost reminiscent of Tavor's STANAG magazine location. The 20-round 9 MM magazine is inserted into the handle.

This is Emerald Valley's Tolkien paradise

Emerald Valley is magic, sunny, and emerald-green with lush vegetation. I think this is where Tolkien illustrators foresaw the setting for the books. See for yourself:


This veranda is on a branch of the Yahalma River. The Valley is a flat plateau nestled between the forbidding Northern Mountains, the cliffs guarding the city of Waldihnok in the north, and the natural squeeze where Morau-Slaatblau cities are located.

Years of perfect eliminations point to the SCS

The policy of the island nation quickly dictated the pursuit of the infamous leaders of the Socialist Government that ruled the island from 1947 to 1967. The agency referred to by the media-invented name of SCS carried out assassinations worldwide, and only 4 renditions, 2 out of which are public, to bring the leaders and their henchmen to justice on the island's soil.

The operations can be characterized by these common features: they have been perfectly carried out, there has been little or no hard evidence, no tangible suspects, no fingerprints, there is an obvious attempt to change the weapons, circumstances and modus operandi of hit men involved.

It is suspected that eliminations started as early as 1978, and gathered pace in 1982. From 1982 to 1993 worldwide his happened at a reported rate of 15-18 a year, according to statistics gleaned from Interpol. The year of 1986 was the deadliest, when eliminations reached a record of 47, mainly in the territorial USA. After 1993 the rate of hits drastically fell to 4 or 5 a year, and became more evenly distributed throughout the world.

From 2000 to 2008 there has been only 1 hit a year, and none during the year of 2002.

In USA the socialists died mostly in mysterious circumstances - 3 in small aircraft crashes while they had never been pilots, 10 on remote stretches of highways, 20 of heart attack, insulin shock, aneurysms, and 5 as victims of the Suburban serial murders, where they were found dead in upscale suburban settings of Chicago and Milwaukee. 14 died during tragic accidents while hiking in wilderness. 11 disappeared without a trace under suspicious circumstances. 6 were found dead in apparent inner city crime-drug scenes. 13 were found to have committed suicides, 4 of them by overdosing on common medications. The only suspect ever held in relation to these murders was later found to be a petty criminal who was framed.

In Turkey, 3 died, all victims of seemingly random crimes. In Brazil 2 were found to be killed by wild animals. In Africa, 4 were killed by crocodiles.

Worldwide, 19 were killed by a method that left fingerprints of totally innocent individuals.

Over 60 were killed by gunfire, and no shells were recovered. The bullets recovered were found to be manufactured in the same country.

There has never been any consistency in suspects. After several hits on USA there had been reports of mysterious dishwashers, car mechanics, church volunteers, who were unusually social and intelligent in the general area of a hit, not connected to each other, and disappeared during the weeks after each hit.

It appears that almost everyone of the socialists have been tracked down and under surveillance until the actual hits. 12 were killed despite having changed their facial and other outward appearances. One victim was even allowed to act on his fears and undergo a plastic operation, only to be killed after a follow up visit to his cosmetic surgeon.

Only 2 were obviously spared until the operation in 2008 when they were kidnapped in a dramatic, perfectly executed rendition operation and delivered to Attland, where during 3 months they were given a speedy trial, found guilty and executed at an undisclosed location and through undisclosed method.

Subway-suburban-commuter station and an intercity train

The already congested station serving the subway-suburban-commuter train mix, is overshadowed by an intercity express train station in eastern Broksness.

Express train and concrete

The express train, JAWS movie-like, is arriving at a station overshadowed by a city rail station and more high rises under construction.

How Maarheinigt prepares boys for military service

From what little accounts available from ex-Maarheinigt failures, it is possible to say that the military system is based on lifetime military service that begins at the age of 6. Till age of 17 they are taught at Maarheinigt low-profile but high intensity high schools which emphasize military sports besides military subjects. For example, instead of team sports like soccer and football, they have ongoing team competitions based on obstacle course, horse racing, water sports, mass wrestling and other we still don't know about.

Military courses are shooting from air guns, then .22LR, high-tech crossbows, underwater spear guns.

Incredible fjord cities

The North is famous for its majestic, almost surreal pillars and fjords, each so unique. These two fjords have served as perches for urban settlements. This fjord settlement developed literally on the rock island at the end of a 4 mile long Seigth (Victory) fjord. The flourishing economy made the hydrofoil and seaplane commuting affordable, giving rise to these upscale communities only 20-30 minutes from Waldihnok or Morau. The sheer walls of the rock serve as structural anchor, instead of having to drill the bedrock, which always contains unwelcome materials like radioactive ores. The buildings obscure the fjord. This skyblock town community has over 12,000 residents.


This fjord town of Brydill Fjord is a collection of scattered high rises at the end of the short, 1 mile long fjord that starts on the southern shore of the eastern side of the Northern peninsula. Having rather low rocks, the fjord gets plenty of sunshine and basks in the tropics-like microclimate, housing over 20,000 people at this town. Everyone here works for at the defense and government institutions in Morau, 10 minutes by helicopter or seaplane, or 35 minutes by hydrofoil and then a commuter train into the city.

A web of subways and highrises

Here is a picture of a station somewhere in Miklasgard's Brithwold multimillion district. Local suburban subway and suburban commuter train tracks merge into a futuristic web supervised by cement and glass structures.

The Hidden Fjord

I have seen the entrance to this fjord while on my way from Waldihnok to Bermuda. The entrance is tucked between intensely precipitous cliffs, and it really does not look like there is any passage to it. My friend Leopoldo took a picture of the entrance, and then even painted it, plus a submarine making its way up the fjord. Attland is known fro hiding its submarine bases in the nooks and crannies of the northern shores' fjords and bays.

The concrete mass of a giant city

This is Karlstad, near a former city airport that has been built over. All that is left of the airport is a five or six radiating roads vaguely outlining former runways.

The study in ellipses

These two buidlings are stylistically related and are located in Brunholn, facing each other, on the western half, or the right shores of the Yahalma-Glada Bay. The building below is a hotel, movie theater complex and restaurant center. The bottom building, designed by a top architects from Bombay, contains office suites, fast food and shopping venues.

The mysterious waterfall temple of the Emerald Valley

This temple is sheer mystery. It was built in the late 12 century. Its orientation gives no clues, there are no openings for sighting stars. There are no inscriptions or dedications. All three towers are hollow, sealed and empty, and the bulges are covered with intricate pattern of interlaced fine mosaic and inlaid yellow and blue beads of cyalith and krypton rock, offering no distinct images or symbols. Attland's historians and other academics conclude that such a temple must be an early Noahide meditation site, considering the nearby waterfall. The location is on one of the branches of the braided Yahalma river, on one of the last waterfalls miles before the northern outskirts of the city of Morau.

New island for the megaport

The view of one of Kayokee's new landfilled islands for its ever-expanding megaport, looking east at Teyerstan (also Teyrastan, Toyrostan) across the 2 or 3 miles of Yahalma-Glada Bay. The industrial traffic pattern called for left-hand traffic for easier access to the port.

How docile and peaceful a mountain river can get: a park on Glada River

Glada River may be a forbidding, wild and exotic in the mountains, but by the time it reaches Miklasgard City, it behaves as if it knows it is about to end up in the ocean. In the city it enjoys a few miles of wide open spaces along its banks, as here. This is a park on the river's northern side, on the outskirts close to Maunby, one of Miklasgard's multimillion-population suburb.

How a canal got lost in a supercity

This is a section of a canal in Brithwold that paralleling Glada River. Already lost in the cityscape, there is more of construction to be seen on the right.

The Sky Temple of the Emerald Valley

The spring sunset over the Emerald valley and one of its own two sky temples. Back in the 10-11 century CE the temple tower was smaller, the main dome less colorful, and it served the island-wide cult of the Queen Linga worship. King Kleist, her grandchild, cleansed the island of Christianity, that was partially the result of the decadence caused by the queen worship. The king also rededicated the island's temples back into their original Noahide rite.

Further in the distance, true to the real landscape, the painting shows the faraway, Eastern Sky Temple.

Express train next to suburban tracks

This Shinkansen-looking express train is slowly making its way through the dense congestion of Miklasgard's Brithwold residential area. Next to its tracks is the suburban-city service train station. I can't remember which station that is.

Just a peek at an industrial megaport

This is just a tip of an industrial iceberg - a view of only one of the three container ports of Kayokee Megaport which is about 20 miles long, starting almost downtown Miklasgard and reaching the southern end of Kayokee. There port has its own dedicated cargo airport, DHL and Fedex terminals. The port is also home to over 100 industries, and includes over 200 miles of rail tracks (basically its own industrial rail network). The port did lose local barge transhipment service, as well as auto and aerospace manufacturing operations to the smaller river port of Balgrahaven, 15 miles up the Yahalma River. In April of 2006 the 3 million-resident Kayokee (together with the 3-million Teyerstan (Teyrastan), 6-million Maunby and 2 million Karolinga) became absorbed into the Miklasgard megasupercity.

The Northern Gates Fjord

This is how Northurgatten Fjord looked like 200 years ago. The huge, tall pillars, become successively taller further inland. The deceptively warm but foggy air disguises distances. The picturesque views of natural arches distracts any first-time skipper making his way through the waters, and the unexpected turns in the short, S-shaped fjord became the best defense for the city of Waldihnok. Many treacherous rocks have been cleared, though the famous rule is still in force for modern-day pilots and captains: keep your eyes on the water.

Broksness River cityscape

Between East Broksness and New Broksness there is the canalized Broksness River that is built over with bridges carrying pedestrians, freeways, street traffic and several railroad tracks at once. The river branches off Yahalma Riover and flows into the Glada River. Research suggests that up until the 6 or 7th century CE this used to be the only path of Yahalma River, before what must have been a massive tidal surge, or a tsunami from a volcanic eruption in the Antilles, caused the rivers to overflow, directing Yahalma River into a longer, curving path that gives the river its sideways U-turn before heading straight into the Yahalma-Glada Bay. The Broksness river, defying all laws of hydrology as being the shortest and steepest, hence the easiest path for a river, has become a humble small canal.

Miklasgard: hydrofoils and bridges

Miklasgard means hundreds of bridges sporting bold curves and lines, and hydrofoils as well. This is a bridge across Glada River, looking south at Broya, the eastern outskirt.


The residential bridge spanning the Toyrastan Bay. One of the new hydrofoils.

The Bridge Rocks and Blue Rocks: inhabited cliffs of the Eastern Shores

The Bridge Rocks is a pair of very high rocks that are not the Pillars so common to the Northern Shores. There is the natural bridge at the base of the rocks, and almost 600 feet high up, the rock settlers have already built a reinforced bridge protected against the winds brought on the storms sucked down into the warm waters by the high mountain action. The cliffs of the bays have also been settled. The residents are mainly fishermen and mineworkers.


Close along the Eastern Shore are the treacherous Blue Rocks - why didn't they call them Mean Rocks? - extremely dangerous to shipping, but so convenient for residential use, considering that it is only 30 minutes by seaplane or hydrofoil to Morau or Waldihnok. The houses have been cut into rock above the line of storm wave action. Many walkways and roadways along the treacgerous beach have been cleared of gravel, well lit at night and asimplydd a very exotic touch to the locale.

The Silent and the Great Falls

This is another one of the weeping walls along River Glada. This is the Silent Falls, since the angle and the path of the water flow makes it a very quiet waterfall.



One of the most famous waterfalls, is the Great Waterfall of the North. River Glada plunges more than 600 meters into a dark, abysmal opening. The viewing platforms are almost all glass, as are the floors, overhanging the sheer drop of the waters.

The views of Marlborough's Zion Island: the day, night and sunset

The city if Marlborough is ac combination of an archipelago of scattered small islands and two atolls. In the center of one atoll there is a rocky peak that is heavily populated, which says a lot about the congestion in the city and the whole island nation in general. The Zion Island makes use of its rocky terrain, achieving rather picturesque and futuristic look.

Zion Island is linked to Java Island by a massive bridge. On Java island, as you can see in the bottom image, they built a skyblock, or a superblock, a very massive and compact high rise that houses more than four thousand people, and hudnred of shopping, service and dining establishments.

The Crystal Temple

I enjoyed my day-long visit to the Crystal Temple. Located at the end of the Three Giants Fjord, the Crystal Temple was originally dedicated to the queen Linga, in order to consecrate the mountain crystal found in the nearby mountains by making a nearly 15 foot (about 5 meter) statue made of the pink-orange kryptonite-rich crystal.


The Temple was long been damaged and the statue of the Queen destroyed and made into smaller crystal pieces, but there was enough left of the columns (with capitals typical of the Attland architecture) to restore the temple to its former beauty, and install a 10-meter centerpiece sculpture made of thousands of cyalith- and kryptonite-rich crystal pieces. The crystal balls are close approximations of the crystal lanterns, as described in the Queen Linga Chronologies found in her famous Sky Temple and Mausoleum.

Since the 14-mile long Three Giants Fjord is located on a mountainous, inaccessible stretch of the north shores, the only way to reach the temple is by a seaplane, helicopter or a hydrofoil service from Waldihnok.

Near the Crystal Temple there is a guest center and crystal factory outlet, where they sell almost anything made of the crystal - night lights, torchier lamps, chandeliers, watches, jewelry, etc. Further up the mountainside there is a Crystal hotel whose lobby closely reproduces the beauty of the temple's main hall.

The Three Giants are one of the tallest pillars peculiar to the island. These three pillars are 534, 869, and 1023 meters tall, from the nearest to the farthest.

The Beacon Temple

The painting shows the 10th century temple and the 17th century fortress. This temple has the classic design: the circular platform; the rough slabs planted upright to define and support the circular ground level; and the streamlined, upward construction . The temple's Queen Linga flame eventually was strengthened to make the temple into a lighthouse. In the early 14th century (see the list of monarchs) all Queen Linga temples were converted into places of Noahide worship. This temple is located on the upper western shore of the Northern peninsula.

The lush oasis openings in the Chasm

This is a place where the Chasm is more than 500 meters deep and opens wide enough to admit precious light and allow the tropical growth.


The Pit Cave is a actually a natural opening of the Chasm. The sunlight supports the lush oasis growth albeit along the vertical walls. Ever present weeping falls are seen here too.

Next post about the Chasm I would post the pictures of monkey bats and other creatures.

The canyons of Yahalma river

River Yahalma also has canyons, no less deep than Glada river's the Canyon, but Yahalma's canyon's are plainer, since they are wider and a lot sunnier. This one is Yahalma Grand Canyon.


This canyon is Heaven's Walls canyon.

How the VANDAL program produced interesting planes and the V-3 Rocket Bomber

Early on, while still living in US, King Yarl realized he wanted the government he would install to have independent military, and the defense provided by its own naval and air forces. He signed a special Joint Defense Development Agreement, in addition to the Mutual Defense Coordination Agreement (which provides the island's military with access to US military proving grounds, while alleviating the US defense effort from having to patrol the US shores allowing it to pursue its overseas policies, among other reciprocal not-in-kind favors)

VANDAL is an acronym that is classified (V... Army-Navy-Defense Advanced L...?). According to the guidelines of the program, King Yarl obtained licenses and bought functioning models of ships and aircraft for further development, developing them into lengthened, plasma-powered craft.

Among A-5A Vigilante and XB-70 Valkyrie, King also obtained the only prototype of the bomber whose designs the Soviet Union stole to build their Tu-22 Blinder bomber. King Yarl's Experimental Aircraft Design Institute, on his own turf of Kingstad, the world's most populated and secretive Area 51, produced a midsized VANDAL Rocket V3 bomber. Most likely a nod to Germany's V-2 rocket.

More images of VANDAL craft to follow.

The Canyon drops down into the Chasm

This is my friend's rather impressionist painting of another location where the Canyon turns into the Chasm (see this post for photos). The vine tree roots are rather exaggerated, but true to their tendency to root into any surface and allow the trunk to be almost suspended in air. The monkey, or troll bats have also been exaggerated.

There are plenty of miniature geysers all over the floor. The Chasm opening is lit up with reddish glow from below by settlements.

The river of Weeping Walls

River Glada is unique and pretty because most of its northern flow is lined with rocky walls continuously producing waterfalls, seeps, and springs. That is why the section of the river is called the Weeping Falls, or the Weeping Walls.


I have more pictures of these falls.
