Points of Interest

  • Mount Everest:
    Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth, as measured by the height of its summit above sea level, which is 8,848 meters or 29,029 feet. The mountain, which is part of the Himalaya range in High Asia, is located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal and China. In Earth-AD continuity, Mount Everest was one of the primary base of operations for the Global Peace Agency. [1]
  • Nanda Parbat:
    Nanda Parbat is a hidden city nestled high in the mountains of Tibet; it is said to be a place of healing and enlightenment watched over by the goddess-like figure Rama Kushna and her monks. Like Shangri-La, time moves differently in Nanda Parbat. Its visitors are often able to retain their youth many decades after their arrival, and yet can leave Nanda Parbat to find that less time has passed in the outside world. [2]
  • Shadowspire:
    Secret base of operations for the Shadow Cabinet, the Shadowspire is a secluded cave filled with extensive advanced machinery, reachable only via teleportation (most commonly Shadowsliding). Although most Cabinet members do not actually take up residence there, it is known to contain at least the living quarters of team leader Dharma.
  • Tibet:
    Tibet is a plateau region in Central Asia and the home to the indigenous Tibetan people.
