It is a lovely, peaceful land where conflict is scarce and everyone is accepted, but gaining entry would be the most challenging aspect of it.
This appeals to me...like a security system

How would you gain access should your Echo be unaccounted for, and also those of any companions you might be with.
That would be a tricky situation
That would make Olám Shoné quite inaccessible to a large group of people, and you would have to ensure your Echo did not run afoul of Fate Sealers before attempting to get there.

A highly successful yet limiting security system that keeps out many potential inhabitants.

As long as your not a fate sealer or fortune teller - which is just as well!
The biggest draw to Olám Shoné is the lack of Fate Sealers or Fortune Tellers in the land.
Fir sure! I dont like the idea if malicious killers roaming my back yard

Perhaps, I'm just not up for the danger that exists in Echoland. Though hopefully with the new king Echoland will be safer for both Sounds and Echoes.
I on the other hand would choose Echoland because of the amazing adventures that the land offers. Though Fate Sealers and Fortune Tellers are a danger, I think it would make any adventure worthwhile...just have to equip myself Supernatural style.
And whicwhich would be your weapon if choice? The ice loom or incendiary?

Can't really veer that far from the discussion parameters, sorry. (But the ice loom would be perfect for my Albatross adventures.)

Yes, ut the only difficulty is a crucial one-gaining entry.
Yes, but I wouldn't mind it being very difficult to get into if the place was that good.

Unwanted people and definitely some wanted people too...even helpless desperate people with no Sound-Echo combo will have to find other ways to survive Fate Sealers.

With the false king dead and William king, the fate sealers should no longer be a problem

When I was younger and more adventurous, Echoland would have been the clear choice. These days I tend to play things a bit safer. I'll go with Olàm Shonè.

Definitely Olám Shoné! This is utopia. From what we know of Echoland, it is still too dangerous and creepy.

My sentiments exactly! As a teen I may have embraced the danger and adventure. Now that I have a couple kids I'll just relax in my safe haven please!

Agreed! I will just hope that my echo is around so that I can get in ;) or make friendly with Will or Auralius

In theory yes, but in reality that is a different matter altogether. They are basically addicts of murder and torture...a change in leaders within Echoland would not be overly welcomed by their ilk. The only way to ensure Echoland is safe and thrives again is to either Shadowpain their a**** or end them.
