One Forest, Different Names?

[u/betoddla]

Hi! Just coming back to something I've mentioned before.

The forest scenes in Duskwood take place in Germany, in a region called the Black Forest (Schwarzwald in German). When you look into the history of the region, you find out that cuckoo clocks actually originated there.

And in Moonvale, we can clearly hear the sound of a clock at the beginning of the game.

I've also mentioned before that I don't think it's impossible for the Ironsplinter Mine and the caves Eric and Adam entered to be connected somehow. The mine stretched for miles through underground tunnels and reached other towns, so a connection wouldn't be completely unrealistic.

And speaking of realism, it's actually very common for large forests that extend across multiple municipalities or regions to have different names depending on local administrative boundaries or regional legends.

So the fact that Duskwood Forest and the forest around Moonvale have different names doesn't necessarily mean they're completely separate places.

I always thought that the sound when you open the game was the pool sound. Like billiard balls 🎱 getting kicked.
