The Wonders of Schlung

== The Wonders of Schlung ==
The Wonders of Schlung are a group of sites around the world which are the subject of much discussion, mystery, and in most cases, death. These sites are found on islands, and all three continents. Some are safe to travel to, while others will result in certain death. Below is a list of each site, describing each in as much detail as there is
=== The Colony of New Douglas, Snowbul ===
The Colony of New Douglas was a colony in Cryocava, right near the border with the state of Sturgeon, in the nation of Snowbul. It is believed that it was founded by early colonizers who landed in Snowbul, but the exact date is unknown. The colony has 15 cabins, 3 fenced areas presumably for livestock, 2 horse stables, and assorted smaller buildings. Zero human remains have been found on the site. The Colony is not mentioned or recalled in any list or book containing colonies of Snowbul or Schlung at this time, and does not have any mention in media until the Colony was found by a survey team creating the borders for Cryocava and Sturgeon. 
New Douglas is in a region of Snowbul named Av Øtqjuk Ͷhelma, which translates to The White Hell, which is a large stretch of plains that is nothing but snowstorms, ice, blisteringly cold weather, and high winds. About 12 days of the year in the dead of summer do the temperatures get somewhat manageable, and very few animals live in the region, thus leading theorists and historians to believe that the bodies of colonists would be well preserved, though no bodies have ever been found, of either livestock or human. 
The site is off limits to tourists or citizens, though you can request a date and time when you are allowed to visit if you are a government official of any allied nation, an historian, scientist, archaeologist, photographer, or meteorologist. Going anytime not in the 12 days of habitancy is not recommended, though people do live in this region. 
=== The Hotter Tubs, Finnesota ===
The Hotter Tubs are an impossible ring of sand found in the city of Finn City, Finnesota. Their purpose is unknown, who made them is unknown, but the owners of the gym nearby has claimed them for themselves. Due to a legal loophole, the site is permanently owned by the gym and are now used as hot tubs. Anyone may enter as long as they have a premium pass to the gym. The water is hotter than normal hot tubs, so prolonged swimming is not advised, though zero negative health impacts have been recorded if in the hot tubs for a normal amount of time.
=== Triangle of Kweens, YasQueenland ===
The Triangle of Kweens is a large pyramid in the center of YasQueenland. Very few images of it exist, as entering YasQueenland leads to certain death via getting eaten by Ms.Piggy. Ms. Piggy claims the pyramid holds her house, which contains multiple rooms which are all furnished to perfection. Though there are no images inside, we just have to take her word on it. We assume Ms. Piggy built the pyramid, but she refuses to give any detail into its construction. 
DO NOT GO NEAR THE TRIANGLE OF KWEENS OR YASQUEENLAND. IMMINENT DEATH WILL FOLLOW.
=== Shaniqua Henderson State Park, The Hot Desert/Elmotopia ===
Shaniqua Henderson State Park is a state park owned by Elmotopia. Elmo wanted to send the entire state park to Kermitropolis, but it ended up bouncing around the whole world until it finally somehow ended up in The Hot Lake, where it remains to this day. All people on the state park are presumed dead. 
Visiting is strictly off limits, as we don't know if it can leave the lake. Best to not find out prematurely. 
=== Natural Disaster Island ===
Natural Disaster Island is a small island inbetween Bajookieland and Xenqinko Island. It contains the Weather Machine, a powerful machine that was made at an unknown time by an unknown creator. Its original purpose was to send horrible disasters to every corner of the world and destroy life as we know it. It was stationed in an island unknown to anyone else, though the Weather Machine was accidently programmed to target only the island, and not everywhere but the island. The weather machine cannot be stopped, and the island was soon named Natural Disaster Island
Visiting is not advised, though a tower was made to hold people who want to test their might and face the disasters head on. It has turned into more of a tourist attraction than anything else. Again, visiting is perfectly legal, though not advised
=== The Wreck of the SWN Telvↄs, Moqyur island, Snowbul ===
The SWN Telvↄs was the largest ship to ever have been built. It was commissioned by the governor of Kioto as a main battleship to patrol new found islands. The ship was never in any combat role, which is why it came as a shock to the people of Snowbul, and the rest of the world when it was noticeably missing from Moqyur Port one night. While on an SOS mission later in the day to find the ship, a patrol boat(The SWN Kaltioc) picked up radio transmission from the SWN Telvↄs. The transmission was staticky, though a few words could be heard. The transmission went as followed, translated to English from Snowbic
"This is the SWN Kaltioc, captain Ⱥlesta. SWN Telvↄs, do you copy"
"......Kaltioc.....[unintelligible]......Mespↄvul......*radio static*.....winds.........small [is]land....[unintelligible]....*radio static*...damag[ed?]
"Telvↄs, do you copy? What are your coordinates?"
"....We are *radio static* our own....we....ok....[unintelligible]....di.......rs..."
The Wreck has yet to be found. The last signal it sent out was at Port Moqyur, though the wreck is most likely out far away from the port. There are no theories of how it vanished from the port. No crew members have been found, no parts of the ship have been found
=== Ringbell Island ===
Ringbell Island is one of the islands found in The Yawning Abyss. It is one of the most mysterious places, as every person that has entered either died, or went missing. It is theorized that it is home to the Dingers, an urban legend throughout Schlung.
=== The Granite Caliphate ===
The Granite Caliphate is a large stone stereo on Kellermensch island, and its creator is unknown. Music blasts from the stereo every 2-5 days and the music lasts anywhere from 13 minutes to 2 hours. The music is an eerie collection of moans, ritualistic chants, music box notes, and wind chimes. The island is devoid of human life, and no intelligent life has been found. All animals on the island have been seen actively moving from the Granite Caliphate 3 minutes before the music starts. 
A dock has been built, though it can only shore small ships. Multiple research teams have visited the island, finding not only the main stereo, but smaller stereos built around the island. These do not play music as far as we know
Tourism is off limits, only official science teams may enter
=== The Dragons Maw, ϻkøldu ===
The Dragons Maw, located on the northern border of the Snowbellian territory of µkøldu is a large cave that is home to a wide array of elements, minerals, gems, and more scarily, the remains of a human-like being. The skeletons of these creatures look incredibly similar to a humans, though with slight differences. The forearm bones are larger, the ribcage is noticeably larger, and the feet and legs are longer and thicker, implying these creatures ran fast and used their hands to attack prey, whether that be fruit, insects, fish, or other animals. The species is currently named Homo Magnum(Big man) and no living specimens exist.
=== Jaji Freeway, Mackao ===
Jaji Freeway was originally going to be a large interstate that spanned across all of Mackao. However, the project was cancelled for unknown reasons shortly after the project started. A small piece of the highway still remains, which connects Pacifico to Full Moon Bay. However, there is another road with the same purpose that is faster and more efficient, leaving Jaji Freeway basically useless.
The few people who visit Jaji Freeway have reported strange observations, such as the sounds of cars yet no traffic, ghost cars, and sometimes even blood stains on the road. The most infamous sighting on Jaji Freeway is The Escalade, a ghost car that has been sighted ever since the death of Miss Piggy's Sister. Very little is known about this car, other than it can be found on the highway every few between 12 to 6 am. The car drives down the highway until turning on to Krunkair, and crashing into the bay below. The car then dissapears, and the cycle repeats.
=== Greenville High School ===
Greenville High School was the original high school located in Greenville, Newsconsin. It was a perfectly average school, containing students living in the Salt Creeks and Ookechobee neighborhoods. In 2009, the school burnt down from a fire that killed 30 people. The school remained closed for over 13 years until being rebuilt, and finally opened again. Before the school was rebuilt, many ghosts and other strange sightings could be found throughout Salt Creeks.
URE_106 is the most famous sighting in Salt Creeks. It was a famous ghost car that could be found in the Salt Creeks neighborhood of Greenville, Newsconsin. URE_106 was a yellow 2003 Ford Escape, named after it's license plate URE_106. Every once in a while you could find URE_106 driving around the old Greenville High School, before it got rebuilt in 2022.
The other notable example is Baddiemimi. Baddiemimi was a student at the high school who died in the fire. Even though she died, people could still see movement happening in her old house.
