Temporary poll to decide the location of our Emerald City, both are good.

 

This will be moved to the Archives after five days.

I'd definitely vote for the PNW - stories set in Southern California are a dime a dozen. 

 

Just a reminder - please do send your ideas for Emerald City to the Refs once they're done so we can approve them before they start showing up in thread.

It shall be done. Once the general shape of what changes, if any, will be made, I'll send them as a PM to the Moderators.

I think we've seen that superpowers are more concentrated the colder the climate is. Africa, central America? Barely any superheroes. Northern Europe? You get Vanguard and Fenris. America has its super-city north of the Mason-Dixon, and the greatest concentration of superheroes on the planet is New Freedom, in Antarctica. It's only logical that the city be in the Pacific Northwest.

Very true. And also in Antarctica is Niflheim, stronghold of Overshadow, whose millions of clones are each potentially a superhuman as well. Not to mention the Ice People and the it's a black site super-prison get serious also on that continent.

It makes sense. You can't very well wear spandex and leather bodysuits in a town where it gets about ninety Fahrenheit with regularity.

Seeing as this has been four days and the votes are unanimous, I will ask for the thread to be Archived later today.

 

So it is decided, this Emerald City will be in the same general area as in the book. As for geography, the only suitable place fitting its layout is the Columbia River delta in Oregon, which means the existing city of Astoria will be displaced by it.

 

The Atlas Mountains and Mt. Stanley are a little trickier, but Apparating some mountains into existence is easy enough, and not out of place that close to the Rockies.
