Asking Help about Theros lore and lore-art
Lore forum
Posted on May 25, 2018, 4:02 a.m. by Eloniel
Hi everyone, this is a crossover subject with customs cards section, i tought that if i posted everything here it would be against rules.
I want to make lore accurate planes cards, to begin with Theros. I've alredy made 37 and i want to know if i've made mistakes, if some locations (for witch officials arts exists) are missing, if i'm wrong when i said that temples of adoration, enlightenment and providence are in Akros, Meletis and Setessa cities, this kind of things. What is the name of the island on: Eagle of the Watch
I explain my project with images of the cards here:

Thanks ! :)

theres a river right through/next to Akros so the water in the art is probably that.

The "Island" in Eagle of the Watch i've find a place named "One-Eyed Pass" in described like this: "This outpost has been carefully chosen by the Stratians for a particular reason: the abundance of cyclopes. They funnel their enemies into the pass, using the cyclopes who aggressively defend their territory as a gauntlet of certain death."
I also want to use Unravel the Aether, in the same guide there a place named Pharagax Bridge "The Stratians defend this huge stone bridge with all their might against any who would enter Akros without the king's permission. Some claim that the massive chasm it spans leads to the Underworld, and that foul creatures emerge from its depths."
What do you think about my two hypothesis ?
I also want to show Purphoros's sacred peak thi placed is in the flavor text of Magma Spray and i think this peak is the art of Peak Eruption
I don't know where are located there:
-Ephara's Radiance Meletis Temple of Ephara ?
I will have at least one location for these gods: Helios, Nylea, Karametra, Iroas, Keranos, Kruphix
I could not find artwork for the cities of Odunos and Asphodel... I will use Black Oak of Odunos but i can't find official artwork for th cities.
It's the same for Phoberos and Oreskos...
Thanks for your help ! =)
I've several other change i want to make/card easier to add, i will list every change for the v2, if you have ideas for other location i'm open to suggestion ^^

Eloniel One Eyed Pass is in Akros, or at least within their territory. however the art on that card doesnt look like any sort of outpost, it just looks like a small section of a city. also the cyclopses are in abundance there, while the art shows only 1 within a human city. i think its just a small area of Akros.

I've wondered about that too. It's weird because both the Flavor Text and the Cyclops certainly make it seem like it's somewhere in Akros, but it REALLY looks like it's by the ocean, which would make it somewhere in Meletis.
You may be able to get more info by reaching out to the artist himself ... maybe through this site (though he hasn't posted there since 2016).
Otherwise I think your best bet is just "Somewhere in Akros" :-)
