    I don't think they would go as far as to make both an acronym and hide the letters

    Moderator confirmed its not time, but said it was one of the others I listed as dismissed possibilities. So now that's the list we are going off of.

    You didn't crunch any numbers or do any homework. You just misinterpreted- wait no, you just flat out changed what Grian said.

    I have told you this several times before but you still refuse to listen (brb gonna go copy paste this from the countless times I've told you):

    Actually he said "in the lore, people don't consider Dern a "true" province.." He's talking about people in the game not knowing enough about Dern to decide what it is. Or the fact that it's ancient and probably destroyed.

    As for that other part, he said,"there are 3 primary provinces" (Wynn, Gavel, Dern). He then goes on to introduce another one. When he says "consider it a province", he means "screw the people in game who don't call it that and call it a province".

    tl;dr: Villagers don't think it's a "true" province, but it still is.


    Nothing is confirmed about Dern except that it's a Dark place, and you need to stop telling people otherwise.

    You claim we misinterpreted what Grian said, and say you are correct. Who's to say you did not misinterpret what he said? It's hard to go off of due the fact that he was being cryptic on purpose.

    So why don't you back up your claim? Show me in game evidence that you are right.

    Cuz right now, tells stack the odds.

    You are saying "Grian meant this" but have not presented any evidence to support what you are saying

    I am saying "Grian meant this" and have come to that conclusion with 8 others who agree, and have found in-game evidence to support our claim.

    ---

    I am not flat out saying you are wrong, I am saying the odds are stacked against you and you have not given us reason to believe your interpretation is correct.

    So that's it. Show me in game evidence, or stop saying things you can't defend.

    K.

    Grian says this:

    "Wynncraft's logic is not flawed.

    You even said the answer in your own post, but then contradicted it later :sunglasses:

    In the lore of the game, people don't consider Dern a true "province" as they just see it as a "Far off dark land".

    Meaning, there ARE still 3 primary provinces. (Although you should still think of Dern as a province).

    "But there are no more provinces" - This. This is where YOU are wrong.

    :wink: You'll find a new name surface in the update."

    Let's pick this out. Grian literally says, "in the lore of the game, people". Which means all of the fictional characters with limited knowledge about the game. Villagers at the time were the only ones who were confirmed to know much about it as it says here:

    "whispers of a third province named Dern was told from the villagers"

    Well it says that they, the characters in the game with limited knowledge about Dern, consider Dern not a "true" province. But the fact that Grian says "consider it a province" can be interpreted in two ways, but the fact that he said in the lore that it was a province makes it less likely that he contradicts himself.

    As for the other part, it wouldn't make sense for him to tell us there's 3 provinces, not including Dern, before we even knew about Fruma.

    But as I said before, nothing's confirmed

    **Before I say anything, Mods dont know shit about the game lore, and as a GM Grian hasn't told me anything yet so I don't know and this isn't a confirmation**
    This sounds more believable

    Majority rules?

    Firstly, the quote

    "whispers of a third province named Dern was told from the villagers"

    that you use is from storyline that was confirmed to be wrong.

    But either way you are still arguing your statement based on Grians cryptic message and what you think it means. I was asking for hard in-game evidence.
    ________________________________
    Firstly, that explains a whole hella ton.

    Secondly, does it really? He still has not given hard in-game evidence for support

    you don't have any hard in game evidence either.

    why would dern be a realm if we know it stretches behind the almuj mountains to the abandoned mines? that means its really big which is weird for a realm.
    also it would mean that people enter and leave a realm constantly, we don't see that in the other realms.

    It makes a lot more sense than yours IMO. Occams Razor, whatever the simplest answer is, is probably right.

    Don't you see? You're doing the same thing. And until you get some proof I suggest not forcing your ideas on others.

    I thought the mod who said it goes behind Almuj said they were wrong.

    Point 2: Yes, we do. Realm of light every player travels through for a quest, and the Nether many players go to for pvp. So yeah, other realms have frequent activity. And before you said there is only one player and the realm of light thing is false, the nether example is still true.

    I explain that in my response to Bank, just continue reading.



    If argumentum ad populum is a fallacy, so can be occams razor.

    Anyway, since we are going by terms here, let me introduce my own.

    Transitive Property of Equality

    If you ever took algebra you know what this means.

    If A=B and B=C, then A=C

    How does that apply here?

    ----------

    Well, so far in the game the only place we have actually seen portals is to go to different realms.

    The place you go to in Fantastic Voyage is (presumably) Dern. If you don't belive that, I have a whole thread explaining how it is. https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/everything-we-think-we-know-about-dern.104219/

    You use a portal to go in and out of the fantastic voyage place.


    You use portals to go to realms, you use portals to go to the dark place in FV, the place in FV is Dern. Therefor Dern is a Realm.

    ---------

    Do I convince you?

    Occam's razor states that the simplest possibility is probably true. the fact it uses the word probably means it cant be wrong.
    A=B and B=C but that doesn't always mean A=C. even more if A is B it doesn't mean B is A. an example for this would be squares and rectangles, a square is a rectangle (square=rectangle) but not every rectangle is a square (rectangle =/= square).

    woah hold up.

    You are talking about the Symmetric Property which states if A=B then B=A. I am not talking about that. You are proving a different property false, not the one I am using...

    I know what Occam's Razor is, and I don't think it is something to stand by.

    -------

    In any case, I have given my in-game reasoning. Can I now have yours?

    (And can we chill down the vibes here? I don't want a flame war)

    So because it has a portal it's a realm? Dern, the place where Mages learned to teleport could easily have teleportation portals.

    Well do we see any other place where portals are used other than realms?

    And that lore class lore is really outdated. I think it's nice to look at, but holds no bearing.



    And so yes, it has a portal and therefor it's a realm. I could probobly find more evidence if I had more time, but I feel like this should be enough.

    If you can find any place where a portal is used not to go to a realm (not the coal block things) feel free to show me.
