"Dragon Warrior VII" - Ancient Fane Portal Map (RazJM(at)juno.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: Please do not distribute this guide without leaving my name at the top. If anyone sees this guide elsewhere under another name, please let me know, and I will have fun with the fool who stole my precious work. Bwa-ha-ha! Created On: 12/31/01 Updated On: 01/04/01 Latest Update: 01/05/01 ------------------------------------------------------------------ May the babbling begin... Ah, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. You see, I'd acquired a new party member, and was about 100 hours into DWVII. What happened? Well, I did not know where to go next. It seemed that I had collected all of the shards which I could have, so I must have placed them in a pedestal without knowing. I remembered doing something like that, and then returning, because my newest party member had mastered a class and I wanted to take him back to Dharma to give him a new one. As a result of my troubles -- not knowing what portal to take, what shards to get, where to go next -- I decided to map out the Ancient Fane. Though I am aware that the strategy guide for DWVII has a map in it, I have not purchased that guide, and I do not plan to. I thought of running to the store to copy down the information from it for my own personal use, but decided it would be more fun and helpful to others to create a digital ver- sion of the same thing (without copying it out of Prima's book and thereby giving their lawyers warrant to come beat me). However, it has its limitation: I have not yet beaten the game, so the listing is incomplete. I do not plan on peeking at Prima's guidebook to complete it, but would rather complete it as I make progress through the game. Please DO NOT send me any E-Mails saying the names of the rest of the cities: this is a kind of marker -- you know, "been there, done that" -- for me personally, so I will not add in the names of cities I have yet to visit. This is a WORK IN PROGRESS. I hope it can be of some help to, well, whoever is reading this guide right now! UPDATE NOTE: I am suspicious of the fane at this point. I have some "Mysterious Shards" and do not yet know where they go. Al- so, I am at the kingdom of Coastal but I have not conquered its troubles yet. So I do not know what happens after that is done. This guide remains "unfinished" until I learn as to whether it is done or not. VIEWING NOTE: You will want to maximize the size of this win- dow.
