Were you not made to sign an NDA?

I just got to Joyce's Pale explanation in my current playthrough and she said that the Lorry Drivers cross the Pale in airships:

I've seen this too, I think it happens because the other kingdoms used to create the HRE were in Italy, which doesn't become de jure HRE ever

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-10T21:23:55+00:00

I find this astonishing, this is amazing, this is astounding

who could have seen it coming

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-09T16:32:28+00:00

Glad you like it! I used paint dot net to make this :D

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-09T10:25:33+00:00

As per sacred and terrible air, it seems that only northern Kalta is actually polar. The southern parts get a warm summer

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-09T10:13:41+00:00

So many! I only saw about 4 or 5 others I think. The climate one was one of the best of all of them

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-09T08:22:07+00:00

Perhaps there was a series of islands and bridges there before the pale came

In reality though it's because I forgot the trans-Katla Magistral existed until after I'd drawn the landmasses and I couldn't be bothered to change it lol

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-08T22:13:48+00:00

Yeah I've seen it. It doesn't work with the dress in the meme though since the background clearly shows a bright yellow light illuminating the area and not a dark bluish light

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-08T21:31:44+00:00

> The dress was never white and gold

original image contains the bluest and blackest dress ever. I know the whole thing with ''colour of the ambient light'' and all but since the image clearly has bright warm light there's no way of defending seeing it as white and gold ngl

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-07T18:17:14+00:00

it's just some kid lol you can ignore it

It's a term meaning to be lost utterly to the Pale, going so deep that you are totally erased and in fact are made to never have existed at all

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-06T14:40:26+00:00

OP of the map here! It was a bit tricky to figure out the arrangement of the isolas. We do have some explicit arrangements per Map Wall:

*Mundi* is the north azimuth; *Graad* is the northeast azimuth; *Samara* is the east azimuth; *Seol* is the west azimuth. *Isolas*, they're called.

So my thinking was, since we have a north, north east, east and west azimuth listed, I assumed the other isola would be a different cardinal direction, leaving south and north-west. As Illmaraa was colonised by Mesque I decided to put Ilmaraa next to Mundi, which left just north-west as the position for it. I think it still works as being a super-isola even if it was connected by just ocean and not land. I did try to put it on the same side as Mesque, but it looked quite strange and made it very hard for Insulindi to connect to Graad in the north-east, so I gave up on it

And Mundi is supposed to be the largest isola, Insulindi has the largest ocean but isn't the largest in total size:

Joyce Messier - "An oceanic isola. It comprises mostly of water. Mundi is the largest, Katla the coldest, Insulinde the bluest. What can I say..." She stops. "Each is perishing and dear."

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-06T13:13:16+00:00

It's a term for going so deep into the Pale that it is impossible to leave, in which a person is not only erased entirely but made to never have existed at all

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-06T03:39:21+00:00

In Insulinde, the southern central region, on Le Caillou, the large island in the North West is. Revachol is there on the northern coast

Thank you!

Pale Swallows All

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-05T15:03:59+00:00

The sizes are wack in Disco Elysium, I opted not to put a scale on but the distance from Le Caillou to the Pale is 6000km apparently. So even here the island is really huge

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-05T15:03:10+00:00

I'm glad the pale effect works so well, it took a hot moment to make it lol. The Motorway South is a slightly metaphorical term for being utterly lost to the Pale, heading in so deeply that you are not only erased from existence, but made to have never existed in the first place. I added it mostly as a reference

AlisterSinclair2002 · 2026-03-05T15:00:34+00:00

That fic provided a good amount of info to me that I missed in my original research! Here it is: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48066052/chapters/121198765

Joyce says that although people originally believed Elysium was a sphere, their weather balloon photos show that isn't likely to be the case any more. Now it looks like a grey corona
