New Avalon New Avalon is the largest city on the Continent. Big beautiful houses built of stone line the streets. There is little vandalism or crime, and there are very little poor. The buildings and shops are all so packed in together, and the streets are very crowded, making it difficult to raise children. There is a huge castle where the gracious king and his family live. The king welcomes any one with complaints into his court for a hearing, and holds many various festivals within his massive halls. It is the capital of the �Common Wealth� culture. It�s an old city that was said to be based on a legend of an even greater city. It is nestled at the foot of Heaven�s Reach Mountain. The main attraction of Avalon is it�s expansive and famous Arena! This is where the headquarters of the Traveler's Guild is, a must stop for travelers new and old.	6	69	Aug 24 2007, 06:37 AM In: Should you talk to the trav... By: destinysend
Hinasa The houses aren�t the biggest, but they�re beautiful. The busiest part of town is the market place that has many different unique and high quality products, most of which are hand made. Hinasa is the only large city of the God�s Cry culture, and is the Capital as well. There are many theaters that showcase the various arts that the God�s Cry culture is most proud of. There are many natural hot springs in area, making it a popular tourist spot. The quiet residential district is kept separate from the busy market and hot springs on purpose. It�s almost like a separate town due to the change in volume.	2	24	Dec 13 2006, 12:43 AM In: No pocket money? No problem! By: Coinspinner
Plainvale Plainvale is a small quite town. The houses are mostly residential or farms. There are plenty of open areas were children are frequently seen playing in. Everyone is friendly and neighborly. Recently people from New Avalon have been moving in. They have been building bigger houses, and acting a bit �snobbish�, though the laid back people of Plainvale don�t let it get to them. It was founded by the Common Wealth culture. The motto of Plainvale is �Live Comfortably� that and �Do you need any help?�	1	50	Aug 6 2007, 02:19 AM In: How plain... By: Cavada
Daken Daken is a large and busy town. It�s a heavily Industrial City� and a thick fog of pollution grips the town, encasing it as if the rest of the world was just some myth or fairy tale like heaven or nirvana. Everyone is so busy with their own little world that they�ll walk past you with out a single glance. It is the capital of the Dake culture, it is located in the scenic Valley of Darkness. The heavy crime and vandalism go almost unnoticed, let alone punished. It�s always cloudy in Valley, it�s probably cursed, and not that it matters much to the citizens of Daken. Threes a saying amongst the Dake, �If you don�t like it here in Daken� your probably already dead�� Life expectancy in Daken is kept abysmally low. The only attractions are the expansive libraries of dark magic and the arcane arts, as well as the questionable entertainment of the Red Light District. The Dake are the leading specialists of Shadow and Necromancer magic. The buildings are of good size, but are poorly kept. The only livable part of Daken is the High End District, though that area is small and little of the population can afford the outrageous prices. Crime is slightly lower� and much more punished there. This is because of the huge gap between the rich and the poor and middle class. Daken stands at the very edge of the Continent.	6	97	Aug 24 2007, 12:49 AM In: .....Where am I? By: Hand of Fate
Daken Castle In a small but thick forest of petrified stone, lies Daken Castle. Its build with Large stone bricks, and surrounded by dead trees that no one tends too. It has a main building that has a main tower sticking out of its center, and seven taller but thinner minor towers surrounding it. No one knows what these extra towers are for, and no one is allowed inside. There are many rooms with in the castle� The castle has the basic Gothic Design of ancient Britain The Entire castle is filled with mindless, soulless walking dead. No one can survive stepping within its walls, for an army of undead instantly mobs anyone who does.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Daken Castle Main Tower This is where most of the living quarters are held, including the main throne room, as well as the master bedroom, located right above it, as well as the Harem�s quarters, located under the throne room. The throne room is dark and decorated with grim symbols and statues of the dead. You can only post here if you made it through the �Main Hall� safely. From here you can move to the Seven Deadly Towers or back into the �Main Hall�	1	0	Sep 17 2006, 07:58 PM In: The Seven Deadly Towers By: Hand of Fate
Garotinbal The last city of the Garotin, Garotinbal is a city of stone, built in the middle of the desert around an oasis. The citizens of Garotinbal do not like outsiders� with good reason.

Crossroad City The city was originally just a trading post, it soon grew into an entire city. It was set up close to the center of the many great cities of the Continent. It is a melting pot of many races and cultures. Open mindedness is key for this kind of place to exist. But hate and racisms still thrives within the city walls. There are many traders who travel here to share the riches of their respected cultures, for a price. Crime is a natural problem for a place like this, since no one culture controls it, it�s hard for a proper punishment system to be set up. Criminals are often sent away to be judged by their own cultures. Aside from the massive market, the grand amphitheater is the main attraction. It is named �The Stage�. It is where the Festival of Connections is held.	3	114	Dec 7 2006, 10:13 PM In: The Place Where the World M... By: Kenji Ausamatu
Flaris Flaris is the only city of the Flarin culture. It exists in the heart of Greatwood, at the center of the city is the Great Tree of Life. The source of life and power for the elves. The houses were not built� the elves used special magic to grow special trees with hollow centers, where they could comfortably live. These housings can range in size from small one-room apartments, to large grand halls. The largest housing is the Flarin High Council�s City Hall. It is a large many-roomed tree, grown at the base of the Great Tree of Life. Because Flaris is so beautiful and quite, it is a great romantic get away, and many people propose to their loved ones here. The streets of certain streets in Flaris are filled with many newly married couples and their friends and family. There are many romantic hot spots, including the base of the Great Tree of Life. Because of the romantic nature of the city, it�s a difficult place for those magical partners or simple friends who are trying to remain �strictly plutonic�. On top of all that� the Flarin have the largest library of magic in the entire Continent.	1	0	Nov 7 2006, 04:14 PM In: Great Library By: Hand of Fate

Thieves� Den The main hideout of the Red Dragons is amongst the trees of Darkwood. Their hideout is a whole city built of connected tree houses. It is a fortress amongst the treetops. They live high above the ground, safe(er) from Common Wealth patrols. It provides the excellent sharp shooters of the Red Dragon with an excellent vantage point. One would wonder how so many dangerous people could live so closely together� well the basic rule of the Red Dragon is that there are no rules� but they are actually a family� and that means no hurting your fellow members, unless it�s punishment for breaking that rule.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Greatwood Greatwood is the largest forest on the Continent. The trees stretch high into the sky, and the forest becomes increasingly denser as you forge towards the center, until the massive trees form a thick barrier around a large area. The trees in the center stretch higher, and their branches are equally densely packed together, forming a thick canopy that hides the elven city, Flaris in side. Stretching out of the very center of the forest is the great Tree of Life. A large tree that dwarfs even the giant trees whose canopy surrounds below half of the massive Tree of Life�s Trunk. The forest is alive with magic and life. The light that makes it�s way through the thick canopy is a strange green tint, it has picked up from the leaves.	3	26	Aug 20 2007, 02:43 AM In: Mystery!

The Great Empty This massive canyon lies deep in Deadwood. The walls are steep and the canyon is deep. As if something carved out the land with one mighty blow. Scientist of the Island can only conclude that the canyon is unnatural. No one dare even guess at what had the power to create this deep pit into nothing. It�s so deep that no light reaches the bottom; rumor has it that is a gateway to hell. Most executions are carried out here, and a prison, used by all cultures for the worst criminals has formed near the gaping hole. People are thrown in, or truly worse some are given large parachutes and are forced to slowly drift down into the shadows.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Deadwood Some believe what ever created the Great Empty also created Deadwood. Deadwood is the southern half of Greatwood, except� everything is dead. The massive petrified tree trunks are all that remain of what was once a proud forest. The ground is blackened as if burned, and there is no grass�The Red Dragon has built a fortress high amongst the dead trees. The Dead tress surrounds the Great Empty. Many dark and terrible monsters roam this wasteland. It�s believed that the same force that scarred the land created them, too. Others say that the beasts are the ghost and spirits of creatures who died with the forest. These strange creatures are the main reason the Red Dragon chose this place as their hideout. The beast keep people away, and make it hard to mobilize an army into, at the same time the Red Dragon is kept safe by their fortress amongst the treetops.	1	0	Oct 1 2006, 09:49 PM In: Sorrowful Village of Sorrow...

Heaven�s Reach Mountain A large stony Mt, with a pure white peak that stretches higher than the clouds that hide its peak from those back down on earth. It�s said that an ancient temple that still remains on its peak, but no one has been able to climb the mountain and make it back down, due to its incredible winds. The whole area has a sort of calming feeling for those pure of heart. But for those of wicked intent, this place offers only constant suffering. Some symptoms include: headaches, stomach problems, and nausea. Contact your doctor, or stop sinning! Many people gather around the base of the mountain for various religious purposes, or to cure them selves of curses or illness.	2	22	Jul 29 2007, 10:23 PM In: My first steps! Careful, do...

Valley of Darkness A dark valley of death, named the Valley of Darkness. What little trees are dead and petrified, much like the Great Empty. One each side of the valley is a large strange mountain that curves inward, like two horns on the blackened land. It is devoid of land just like the great hollow. Some say that it was once one mountain� but some powerful and devastating force blasted a hole through the middle, leaving just the sides of the mountains, and the valley remaining. Long ago, Common Wealth settlers, who were traveling south, built the city of Daken. It�s said that after losing so many of their own, and seeing the world around them get darker and darker, they just gave up and settled down in the middle of this foreboding and terrible land.	1	0	Nov 8 2006, 02:31 AM In: The Beast!

White Crystal Beach The largest beach on the Continent, it�s a popular tourist attraction. It�s located just north west of New Avalon. There is no settlement per say, but there are a lot of Inns, and Shops around the beach. The sand is pure white and the waters are crystal clear, giving the beach it�s name.	1	4	Jul 18 2007, 09:08 PM In: Looking for a fun time By: Daigo
The Gate The actual largest Ancient�s Ruins, it�s a large gate way built right into the side of a cliff. It�s almost as tall as Heaven�s Reach Mountain and the Great Life Tree. Aside from the gate, nothing else can be seen of the ruins. It�s all buried under the thick dirt of the cliff. No one has been able to move the massive doors, and many people expect the greatest treasures to be inside the massive doors. Many people have tried to open the doors, and a Common Wealth Excavation site is settled in front of the massive doors.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Death Desert Many different cultures give these vast wasteland different names� but they all translate into the same thing� �Death Desert�. There is only one Oasis in the entire wasteland, but there are many, many ruins, buried in the sands of time. These ruins are the attraction of many Common Wealth Exploration parties.	1	1	Feb 27 2009, 04:17 PM In: A perfect place to die By: Hand of Fate
