The "Waldviertel" ("Quarter Of The Woods" in English) is an interesting
and mystic region in the north of Austria. If you walk through that
landscape, you can find many bizarre granite rocks that were
formed by weathering and some seem to be modified by ancient
people (probably the Celts or the Germans, no one really knows).
I`d imagine that these places could be used for an Alderaanian
landscape (or at least inspire ILM-modelmakers). Here are a few
examples (I translate the names of the rocks):
"Guardian"
"Fairy Bonnet" or "Magic Hood"
"Skull Rock" (though it looks more like the face of an alien !)
"Mushroom Stone"
"Stone Woman"
"Devil Rock"
"Devil`s Bed"
"Rocking Stone"
"Stone Pyramid" (consists of four levels - age and purpose unknown -
no artefacts or graves found there)
One place often visited by esoterics is the "Place Of The Scorpion"
(the rocks there are aligned exactly in the same way like the stars
of the zodiac sign "scorpion"). They say that the force is unusualy
strong there (hehe!!). Four examples:
"Birth Stone" (it is said that this rock has been used as a seat for
giving birth - interesting connection to Star Wars !!)
"Right Pincer Of The Scorpion" (the negative energy there
(the dark side, hehe!!) "consumes" everything surrounding that rock
- you can see it - the tree grows towards the rock !)
"Antares" or "Altar Stone" (the central place where the ray lines come
together - full of spiritual energy (umph!))
"Energy Stone" (they say that a cosmic energy is captured by that rock and
given to the people standing beside it)
