Origins (II): A History of Palanthas. Palanthas is the city with two names, because it appeared as "Palanthus" when it was first mentioned in DL2: "Dragons of Flame" (1984). That name would appear in roleplaying supplements through the early '90s and occasionally pops up in more recent products such as College of Wizardry (1998). Meanwhile, the name "Palanthas" was used in the original Dragonlance Chronicles novels (1984-1985) and very occasionally crept into roleplaying supplements like the "'My Honor is My Life" article in Dragon #94 (February 1985) and DL10: "Dragons of Dreams" (1985), both by novel author Tracy Hickman. DLQ1: "Knight's Sword" (1992) is notable for being an early roleplaying product where both names were used extensive. However, "Palanthas" didn't become the common name for the roleplaying line until the release of Dragonlance: Fifth Age (1996). It's been official ever since.
The trade city of Palanthas first appeared as an important setting in DL9: "Dragons of Deceit" (1985). Afterward, there were only scattered sightings. It rather controversially was revealed as a spelljamming port in SJR7: "Krynnspace" (1993) while its historic conquest was depicted in "When Black Roses Bloom" (1995). Despite its importance to Ansalon, it really wasn't that important to the Dragonlance line for over a decade. That only changed with Seeds of Chaos (1998), the first supplement to offer much depth on the city. That focus would continue into Chaos Spawn (1999). Together, they're a nice complement to Palanthas.
Exploring Krynn: Palanthas. As Brown intended, Palanthas is the best-ever description of that city, including an in-character description of its history and tour of its districts, both in the Old City and the New City. There are also descriptions of the surrounding region, including the ever-popular High Clerist's Tower.
Future History. Since the publication of Palanthas, two novels have been set entirely in the city: The Thieves Guild (2000) by Jeff Grubb and Protecting Palanthas (2007) by Douglas W. Clark.
Volterra is a town in Tuscany, Italy. In the Twilight series, it is the ancient Italian city where the Volturi reside. It is very beautiful, situated on a hill and built from sienna (or cinnamon brown) stone, and is known as the safest place in the world from vampire attack. The Volturi do not permit any sort of hunting there as they do not like anything that could expose them. On their way to Volterra, Alice explains to Bella that the Volturi themselves bring in their food from outside, sometimes quite far away.
In the Twilight series, the Volturi live in Volterra and rarely leave the city. In New Moon, the city is seen celebrating Saint Marcus' Day (the eponymous Marcus of the Volturi) as the day when St. Marcus supposedly drove all vampires away from the city.
Originally, Stephenie Meyer planned to have the Volturi live in a fictional city called "Volturin". She had decided that the city would be in Tuscany, and that its main square would contain a clock tower. After examining a map of the region, she discovered Volterra close to where she was going to set Volturin, and learned that it also had a clock tower like the one she had described for her city. Thus, she decided to use the real city of Volterra in the series. [1]
For the film New Moon, the Volterra scenes were actually filmed in Montepulciano, Italy. The biggest problem the people of Volterra had with Stephenie's book was the fact that Bella ran through a fountain to get to Edward when there isn't one in the actual main square of city; the producers had to build one in the center of the filming location.
Volterra was a Neolithic settlement and an important Etruscan center with an original civilization; it became a municipium in the Roman Age. The city was a bishop's residence in the fifth century and its episcopal power was affirmed during the twelfth century. With the decline of the episcopate, Volterra became a place of interest of the Florentines, whose forces conquered Volterra. Florentine rule was not always popular, and opposition occasionally broke into rebellion. These rebellions were defeated by Florence.
Sushruta is an adjective which means renowned. Sushruta is reverentially held in Hindu tradition to be a descendent of Dhanvantari, the mythological god of medicine or as one who received the knowledge from a discourse from Dhanvantari in Varanasi.[2] Sushruta lived 2000 years ago in the ancient city of Kashi, now known as Varanasi or Banaras in the northern part of India. Varanasi, on the bank of Ganga, is one of the holiest places in India and is also the home of Buddhism. Ayurveda is one of the oldest medical disciplines. The Sushrutaa Samhita is among the most important ancient medical treatises and is one of the fundamental texts of the medical tradition in India along with the Charak Samhita. 2ff7e9595c
