  • The Forge of Vulcan is the name given to a large expanse of desert in the middle of its largest continent, but it actually encompasses more than you might think. From the Fire Plains of Raal to the holy Mount Seleya of the Vulcan IDIC, let's take a look at the map of Vulcan and its history to see what else we can find in the Fires of this desert world.

    I _love_ that they have a myth of slaughter - so green blood - that's associated with oxidised copper deposits - green rocks. That's such a cool little detail weaving together science, mythology, and the alien biology of the Vulcans.

    Is there a full map of Vulcan? Of any world besides Earth, I'd expect it to be more detailed than it has been. I feel like Bajor has been better explored in stories than Vulcan.

    • @MonitorMono
      @MonitorMono 13 днів тому +2

      I always thought so too, but perhaps Vulcan feels so empty due to how tectonically active the planet is. The Vulcans could've kept much of their planet uninhabited (very few major cities) since it'd be too dangerous to construct permanent settlements on most of the planet
      Maybe there are some Vulcan colonies that are more densely settled than even their own homeworld. But this is my personal analysis, I may be wrong :0

      I found multiple from different sources and few actually agreed on distances and locations. This map I did sourced multiple ones and amended it as best I could to count for canon, but even this is still not going to be accurate.

    With being Warp capable around the 4th century, really ties in with the Romulans having that "Holy Roman Empire" feel. Of course, history of the split is sparse (though if it's not as sparse as I think, i'd live to see a vid on the split!) But i could totally see an era of Romulan history in which they try to erase records of their Vulcan origins out of a sense of nationalism, especially if done around the time of the Reman subjugation. Sort of a "nah, we were totally here first, dont listennto the Remans, they're just trying to make you hate your heritage" vibe.

    OK so I have a headcanon, hear me out: Vulcan telepathy is NOT innate or naturally evolved, it was artificially introduced through nanites or something similar. If it was possible in the time of Surak to be able to feel the deaths of other Vulcans like Spock does, they could never have glassed the planet, it would have caused too much pain. Plus, Romulans don't have telepathy so that points to more evidence that before the Time of Awakening there was no telepathic connection. I think that after the Time of Awakening someone decided that the best way to stop the planet from being nuked again was to give people the ability to directly feel the minds of others. If everyone dropping a bomb knew that they'd experience the deaths of everyone they killed I bet a lot less bombs would be dropped.

    The whole shared planetary orbit thing had to be created because when ST:TMP was made they had forgotten that in TOS Spock had stated that Vulcan had no moon, and so lo and behold there was a scene on Vulcan with two "moons" in the sky. When fans pointed out the incongruity the filmmakers admitted that they had goofed and were like "Oops!", so some explanation had to be woven into the lore. I would have preferred to ignore the goof and just have them edit the special effects graphics out.
