Title: Thresholds
Post by: Arcteryx on September 18, 2010, 04:48:03 PM

So,

1. Running water
2. Lived-in homes
3. Day/Night
4. Circles (sometimes, according to Bob...)
5. ...?

Anything else?

5. Churches and other places of religious gathering.

Any sort of major celestial event could be considered a threshold. The dates of the major changes of seasons; the equinoxes and solstices (Midwinter and Midsummer) as well as the cross-quarter days. A new or full moon could be one also.

A Fall Line could be a threshold as well as a ley line so could any sort of large geologic feature like a fault line or the Pacific Ring of Fire. I could also see three or more ley lines crossing in close proximity forming a threshold to the area inside them.

Thanks Smoore, I love advice that screams PLOT HOOK and ADVENTURE SEED all over it, in big red rubber stamps :)
