So this part about the whole Trickster debacle was always silly. It is the only hint we ever get of the possibility of some sort of ancient Cherub World, but that’s pretty much about it, there’s not much exploration of this at all.
After I made the first Map of Alternia, I tried to see if these landmasses fit anywhere, but there was no luck. Now that I remade it I decided to check again, however this time I noticed something. See, the compass is constantly spinning, so I wondered if maybe rotating the map would yield any results! And… Well.
It’s absolutely not a perfect fit by any means, and I am not claiming Alternia to be the Ancient Cherub Land- However, I could see Hussie paying homage to this dumb little gag by making the main Landmass where Hiveswap takes place reflect the Cherub World somewhat.
There’s the island to the left, there’s the island with a hook on the bottom-right, the fragmented usland on the top-right, and a few other water masses that seem to fit more or less with the general shape of the continent. And all I had to do, was flip the map Turnways. Food for thought?
