Geography
The ship bound for it “got into” the Triangle. One mention places it “within the Barbados”; it is also called “Antigua and Barbuda”.
- Coast: beaches, nearby cliffs, turquoise water, the landing site.
- Interior: a “brow of jungle” becomes “this tremendous jungle”, rockier toward the center; 13 miles of it separate the landing site from the mountain pass beyond. Conifers grew among the tropical flora in 1790.
- Meteorite clearing: left by a meteorite and fire decades ago, the interior’s only open ground; site of “some of the most terrible battles they had on the island of Antigua”.
- Climate: hurricanes are feared, some moving west from Antigua. The village lies in the wind-sheltered south.
The gate
Antigua “turned out to be the gate to the possibility of raising” sunken Atlantis, a possible portal to Atlantia; the triangles of these places let that world emerge. Outside the platforms’ direct aegis, it is still the appointed site of the end of their game: “we know the space, where it will be: it is in the Antigua”. The company spent two consecutive days there.
The Pact of the Antigua
A Pact of the Antigua exists by name only. A poem names Antigua alongside Iron Mountain; a geographic link between them is speculation.
Conflicting accounts
- The voyage from Antigua and Barbuda to Tortuga is 200 miles (“not that close”), a couple of days’ sailing.
- The voyage to the island is “some 60 nautical miles, a bit more”, from an unstated point.
Open questions
- Who the “guardian of Antigua” is, and what she guards.
- The southern village’s name, size and layout.
- Whether the meteorites, the Triangle and the gate are one phenomenon.
- What opens the portal, and when (an eclipse was mentioned doubtfully).
