Anagoge Island
 |
Greetings lost traveler.
You may be feeling somewhat confused. Don’t worry, that’s normal around these parts. You’re without memories in a land filled with mystery and wonder, following a branching path many before you have set forth upon. Within these writings, those with patience may find the near-lost history of a land ravaged by time. Others seek wisdom, glimpses at their future potential. If this is your first time visiting this library, be aware that everything recorded has been so through the contributions of generous adventurers. Perhaps one day you too will record knowledge here! (Most pages on the Project: Gorgon Wiki contain open spoilers. The page for Anagoge Island is formatted to allow for new players seeking specific answers to retain an essence of exploration and discovery).

There's a backpack nearby with some useful stuff. Pick it up!
— Welcome Message
Anagoge Island is a remote storm-blown island off the coast of the Council Lands of Alharth. Few sailors are willing to tempt the treacherous waters, preferring to stick to the coast of the nearby Serbule region. In recent years, an increased number of mind-wiped adventurers have been showing up in Serbule and the surrounding duchies. Many of these individuals claim to have washed ashore on Anagoge with nothing but the clothes on their back. While mostly barren, Anagoge Island is rumored to have been the site of a Council Academy for those deemed Prodigies. Unlucky sailors report that ruins dot the coastline, and a lighthouse marks the center of the island. Marooned Adventurers who attempt to swim off the island will be met with deadly sharks and strong currents.
Anagoge Island is the starting area in Project:Gorgon for Humans, Elves, and Rakshasa. You will have the opportunity to learn a few basic skills before reaching the neighboring lands of Serbule and Serbule Hills. There are two methods to leave the island, although it is advised to find the island's inhabitants first.
Neighboring Regions
Returning to Anagoge Island
Travelers insistent on returning to Anagoge Island should speak with Jurl the Boatman at the Serbule dock. Ask him "Where else can you take me?"
Points of Interest
The Lighthouse
An old Elf named Elmetaph makes his home in the Lighthouse in the North-West hills of the island. Once a teacher, Elmetaph may be your best hope at escaping the island. He sure has a lot of books.
Elmetaph's Teachings
Riger's Shack
Riger, a depressed elf, lives out of a small dilapidated shack near the Anagoge Island dock.
A solution to Riger's woe.
The useful art of Alchemy can be learned inside the island's Lighthouse. You may discover a useful recipe using ingredients found across the island.
Lawara's camp
Lawara is another amnesiac resident of Anagoge Island. She lives out of a small tent, staying alive through her retained knowledge of cooking porridge. Near her campfire, there is a locked chest she has been unable to open.
Strange platform
A raised, broken platform etched with strange symbols.
Pedestal Puzzle
The Pedestal Puzzle was designed to test the critical thinking skills of students under Elmetaph's tutelage. It still seems operational. Perhaps a student left a clue somewhere...
Click for location of the Student's Clue
In a shack nearby, a piece of paper can be found on the ground.
Click for solution to the Pedestal Puzzle
The hint "Help me, I'm sewn" suggests that the pedestals should be activated in the order South, East, West, North.

Teleportation Platform
A raised, glowing platform etched with meaningless symbols. If only you knew anything about Teleportation, you might be able to use it to escape.
Finding Extra Teleportation Necessities
Obelisks
There are four obelisks constructed on the island by the Council. They were once used to help account for fluctuation in the region's Ley Lines, to assist in long-range Teleportation.
A solution for Elmetaph.
The correct code is 6918. A mostly correct code of 9618 will put you in Serbule Keep, a location you would eventually discover. Many other binding combinations exist, most leading to places hostile to memory-wiped adventurers.
The Enchanted Dummy
Another trial for Academy students, the Enchanted Dummy tests the magical affinity of test takers. The wooden dummy is immune to Physical Attacks, and appears to have withstood the passage of time.
Magical Trickery
As the Enchanted Dummy can be defeated by any attack not Physical, multiple methods exist to complete this trial. While the intention of the test was to have students use purely Magical attacks, Mental combat attacks such as Psychology and explosives created through Mycology can do the trick.

Anagoge Training, Records, and Storage Facility
The Anagoge Records Facility once served as a backup of Council records of Academy students. Faculty areas, storage rooms, and a golem maintained record complex are buried under the island.
Teleportation Circles
There are two Council constructed Teleportation Circles on Anagoge Island. Unfortunately, one appears to be damaged beyond repair.
- Found among the southern hills of the island.
