Extra, extra! Four Winds covers revelation of the Isle of Mists!
« on: November 02, 2010, 09:12:53 PM »
The Four Winds' own Kurt Rayner was part of the exclusive trip to the long-rumored Isle of Mists as it revealed its presence from the curtain of mists, and gives our readers an inside look at the reclusive island and its even more reclusive inhabitants.

Read all about it!

The writing style reminds me of The Guidebook to the Land of the Green Isles a little bit.

Hmm, small nitpick, but ya, the island is the "Isle of the Mists" in KQ6 (and all related official sources). Not "Isle of Mist/s". I guess you chose to change its name for whatever reason.
Well, ya, King's Quest is on Earth. Daventry is very old city from a long time ago. It's in ruins now and people aren't quite sure exactly where it used to be. There are some archaeologists searching through the ruins, they think they know its Daventry. But its somewhere on Earth."-Roberta Williams http://kingsquest.wikia.com/wiki/File:Daventryisearth.ogg

To be honest, you'll see it in various forms in the game--Isle of the Mist(s), (the) Isle of Mist(s), etc. Even Mist Isle, I think, but that one always struck me as an easy short form that people would be likely to use in conversation anyways. But admittedly those were just whoever wrote the lines in question mis-remembering exactly how it had been put forth in KQ6, and as usual, once the line's recorded, there it stays!

Ahh ok.

Hmm, one more question, is there a link to the background picture of the Four Winds? The bird's eye view?

You wouldn't happen to have similar concept art for the other islands would you?

That looks like that one? No, I don't think we do.

Like Katie said, I don't know of any other aerial island concept art.
