Kolyma (KQGS)

Kolyma is a binary kingdom in or near the Enchanted Isles (KQGS) in the World of Daventry (KQGS)

Background

Very little is known about Kolyma’s geography other than it is located roughly south of Daventry, and that the Enchanted Isles are part of the kingdom. Hagatha's Tower is known to travel around between it, the isles and regions of Tanalore (KQGS)] and Avalon (KQGS). It’s actual relation to those places is not clear. Leaving it possible that it’s yet another land attached to the Midwestern Hemisphere or it’s own separate continent (or island).

It is at least implied to bordered (or surrounded) by the sea known as Neptune's Kingdom it lies near to the Enchanted Isles (KQGS) which also lie very close to the Midwestern Hemisphere.

The binary kingdom is made up of two separate kingdoms. The land is divided into two with a border region in between, which include Eastern Kolyma (KQGS) and Western Kolyma (KQGS).

The Enchanted Isles while being off the coast are still considered part of the jurisdiction of Kolyma.

Graham travelled to the kingdom of Kolyma to find Hagatha's Tower to find a wife, the tower itself was in the region known as the Enchanted Isles, roughly off the coast of Tanalore.

Geography

Kolyma appears to be a lush and temperate land especially in the spring. While it does appear or be high altitude the land is more open than in Daventry with rolling meadows, wide temperate forests, craggy outcroppings, rocky caves tunnels, and wide valleys. The more mountainous areas have majestic waterfalls and flowing rivers. It is home to woods wolves, birds and squirrels. Some areas have wooden fences and some areas have remains of a stone walls or ruins.

Behind the scenes

While both Eastern Kolyma and Western Kolyma are both called the 'kingdom of Kolyma', both Neese and Vee refer to each of their own lands as 'my kingdom'. This would seem to suggest that the combined kingdom is ruled by two different kings.

The mountains seen in the distance in many of the screens of Kolyma are recycled from the same images of Great Mountains (KQGS) seen in the background of Daventry in Chapter 1.

Neese speaks of there being an edge to her kingdom. But she doesn't specify if this is the edge between the two Kolymas, or the edge between  her kingdom and another land, or simply the 'shoreline'.

Graham mentions he was originally from the north or far north in Chapter 3 before coming to live in Daventry, but he doesn't specify that Kolyma is "South" in relation to Daventry.

A couple of lines in Chapter 3 do confirm that if the two Kolymas are not part of the Enchanted Isles, then the Enchanted Isles are part of Kolyma's territory. The first reference is when Graham mentions that the tower is in Kolyma specifically: "The mirror showed me a magical reflection of a tower far away in the kingdom of Kolyma." Another of the references is when Graham falls from the tower while climbing it, he narrates: It was spring in Kolyma, but I still wasn't over fall. But at the same time he also mentions he was in the Enchanted Isles when he reaches the location where the tower is in Kolyma."I suppose there's no better place to start than at the beginning, when my travels led me to the Enchanted Isles." The comment that his travels led to the Enchanted Isles doesn’t necessarily mean that he was in the enchanted isles when he is first seen in the mountains but rather it shows his travels to the islands, and he didn’t reach the islands until he actually made it to the tower (how he crossed the seas is not shown possibly leaving room for to have teleported there using a magic door or some other method.
