I'm just curious about their story in the world of shadowrun. Went to visit some people living around there for thanksgiving and found the view breath taking. Went to clingman's dome (highest point) and found it a native american retreat for healing, resting, etc. That night i had one of the most vivid and thought provoking dreams i ever had about a very important aspect of my life. Even today, days later, I still recall that dream with the same emotions i felt while having it that night....it was surreal...
I'm sure it has to have a major contribution to the world of shadowrun. |

The only things I can recall being mentioned about Tennessee concern the succession, a giant snake in Nashville, and something about a missing CIA agent running away, also in Nashville.
The only mention I can think of concerning North Carolina is about the succession (the same entry as Tennessee). Nothing about the Smoky Mountains ... but then again I might have missed something. |

Clingman's Dome isn't the highest point loacally, Mt Mitchell is, but I agree, Clingman's Dome does have a spectacular view.
Thanks for the link on the Brown Mountain Lights. I live in Western NC and I never heard of them. |

I live in NE GA, and they really do have an interesting history in the area. But its rural, and most of SR ignores the rural parts in their settings. (even in SONA the NAN sections focus largely on the large cities ruled by the different tribal nations.)

i did not know SR referenced the Uktena(great snake) where is that sited.
I my self am GWY (cherokee)... might be a good exercise to write some fiction, based on the old tales. if you want some good info on the airea and it's legends read James Mooney's History, Myths, and Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees here are some quick facts http://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/cher/motc/motc050.htm |

is there any further fiction on this event? If they killed an uktena, what became of the Ulun'suti? There has to be a good storey there...

Not that I know of, but I don't have the books in front of me at the moment.

In short HP there's nothing official but certainly if it's as movine a place as you paint it could be a real draw for shamantic types, after all no NAN types there.

oh indeed it is. I recomend seeing it to everyone. somewhat like pike's peak but more....rural? is how i would explain it. Truly a serene place and i believe was the source of my dream on account, among other things, of the same feeling i had on the mountain when i dreamt
