Quote:The [[Pulper] city of '''[[Helium]''' is located on the northern rim of '''Valles Marineris''' near '''Ophir Labes''', on '''[[Mars]'''.
So I was thinking about this, dicking around with a little quick research on Barsoom, and the thought occurred to me: in Fenspace, authenticity of concept is everything. And that goes double for the Barsoomians, who as a group have been obsessive about ERB's work for longer than any of the Fenspace writers have been alive.
What does this have to do with Helium? Well, for a true and faithful recreation of Helium, the city wouldn't be anywhere near Valles Marineris, it'd be in the southern hemisphere, on or near the edge of the Hellas basin.
Anybody up for moving Helium? I don't think this would cause huge canonical disruption - the city's appearances in the story material are fairly sketchy, and we'd just have to edit a few wiki articles for the location change.
