Why does Wendy keep drawing Southern California?

Yes, i know, Comic-con is in Diego.....

But man do these mountains look familiar. As well as what Skywise saw on the giant eagle. And the vegetation.....

and just remember, yes, we are #1 in America in poisonous spiders.

Like someone once said, "You write what you know." I guess WP draws what she knows? Has she ever lived in California?

No, but Comic-Con is down in San Diego, and shes tried Hollywood, so shes seen this place.

I must wonder if another interpretation of FQ is "I went to Hollywood only for my dreams to die there". Typical.

Which makes you wonder if Blue Mountain... is really at Gower and Melrose.

She was born, adopted and raised in California.

Well, that explains everything. Especially Sun Folk.

I see women that look like Leetah frequently. Theyre often about the same height as well.

As you can imagine, they often speak Spanish. And strangely enough, wouldnt you know it, some of them also call themselves the "People of the Sun"....

See also other thread about Elfquest dreams, astral travel, and a blind girl who could only really see with her third eye asking me "who are all the Mexican elves". P

Wendy actually lived near Gilroy CA, which is also the home of the Garlic festival. She did reside in New York with Richard for many years before returning to California. She got the idea of the fireflies in The Forbidden Grove after she and Richard can across thousands of fireflies mating in a wooded area near their home in New York.

Oh snap. There was a shooting there at the festival last year.

the more i think about this one, the more it explains everything.

We have plenty of Wavedancers, Wolfriders, and Sun Folk to suit everyones needs out here. Trust me. Especially up near Santa Cruz. One will meet plenty of interesting elfin characters.

Sun Villiage is also based on Arizona. Mostly Sedona and the Papago area of Phoenix. She had a stint out here for a while. I'm not the only one who's played "Spot the Landmark" who lives out here.

Just like how i swear collapsed Blue Mountain looks like San Gorgiono out there by San Bernardino, and the original looks like Shashta.

Not the only stone arch out there, but the one I think of.

Yep, still around, but mostly sticking to the shadows and silence.

The Mojave Desert is a combination of sand dunes and barren flatlands.

Takes much longer by wolf.

That's the rock where the wolves came down before the Zwoot stampede! Shocked

... and the Burning Waste was just a bit more barren when Cutter discovered cactus water.

I can see you playing "spot the setting", Koji!

That's Papago Park in Phoenix. The Desert Botanical Gardens and Phoenix Zoo sit at the foot of the cliffs. You can get to more barren parts, but not on the way between Flagstaff (mountains) and Tucson (Desert) which Phoenix lies between.

Sedona is still most beautiful area, tho. That and high canyon country. Also getting up into Utah/Arizona border. That's where you get the national park with the arches. Usually easier to enter from AZ than Utah.

Head towards the Cali border you get more sand dunes. A lot of people like to offroad out there.

Our skies are ablaze with the colors of the Palace at sunrise. Notice the waxing crescent. Today will be a good day.

Sadly, the golden color on the horizon isnt amrita.

Its 100% rush hour on the freeway creating the "Burbank Stank".
