	Center Square Around the ruins of the destroyed tower is a town, built by those who wished to repair the damage done and make peace between the ever-feuding races over land space. It is split into two halves, the Checkered Village, and the Barriers.	2	379	Feb 7 2006, 02:46 AM In: Coming Back From the Shadows By: Venion
	Barriers The Barriers are what separate the magical from the machine. A large, half-destroyed stone wall, eight feet tall at the highest point and three at the lowest, borders the edges of Player Park. Beyond the wall lies the Joker Compound. Skirmishes often break out here, with magic pouring in from one side and lead from the other. You've been warned.	1	7	Jan 10 2006, 08:08 PM In: An Evening Stroll By: Sakrae Trusk
	Ruby Park One of those old-time carnivals.... painted merry-go-rounds, a Ferris Wheel, one creaky old roller coaster, the boardwalk lining the ocean, a freeway, and an old bandstand. Everything was made of sturdy wood, painted bright red. An arched gate opened up onto the park, topped with what is said to be the biggest ruby in the world. It had been made for Erignon's grand opening, and had been the prize of the isle. Or, it was. Having long fallen into disrepair, the wood has peeled to a dull rust color, and few disturb the park's solitude. But if you walk under the once-proud archway, the old lights will sparkle again and everything will run.... by itself.	2	6	Jan 25 2006, 02:32 AM In: Thought By: Torrin
	Crumbled Tower The remnants of the original tower from over a millenia ago. Half of it is burned out and the rest is crumbling, but it's still intact.	3	277	Feb 20 2006, 04:55 PM In: Alone By: Aion Oscal
	Checkered Village A place of meeting for all people of Erignon. A strict no-fire zone, this is the only place where one is free from all threats (except the humans, who will attack anywhere). If you wish to open a shop here, PM one of the Admin.	4	138	Mar 12 2006, 02:55 PM In: Weapons for a young "warlord" By: Taralin
	Battle Royale Don't worry, an all-out battle royale hasn't taken place for quite a long time. An open-air stadium where all manner of beings can come to train or duel. Since it's right on the Barriers, an unwary fighter may fall prey to a loose gunshot, but humans will often come to defeat them one-on-one.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:

	Edge of the Woods A single black marble archway marks the beginning of Mithyas territory; a heavy gate stands between the outside world and the only path leading into the woods. The iron bars of the gate twist into the Wood's symbol; a raven wing crossed with a scythe. Along the edges of the forest are thick clouds of everlasting fog and thorns, making it difficult to breach by means other than the path. Those who do get past the outer wall discover that the trees are lifeless and leafless and easy to get through - except for the silent sentries of the Mithyas; vicious birds of darkness. Forum Led by: Taralin	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Jackdaw Palace A rearing monolith of shining black marble, it is a classic old-style castle with statues of gargoyles and all manner of ravens, rooks, crows, ect. Several of the statues are real, of course; guards watching over the borders. Forum Led by: Taralin	5	32	-- In: ---- By:
	Welcoming Aviary Off to the side of the palace is a small building; the floor and ceilings made of glass and the walls of stained glass; depicting battle scenes and sorcery. Soaring around the room and perched on unlit torchs are the royal family's favorite birds of death. All Welcoming ceremonies are held here. Forum Led by: Taralin	0	145	-- In: ---- By:
	Flowered Clearing A little ways off into the woods, away from the castle, is a large clearing in the thick trees. There are many targets set up for practice, but the real wonder is the flowers. This is the only place in the Wood where flowers will grow; and they are roses and lilies, splotches of blood and snow on the barren dirt. Forum Led by: Taralin	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Dungeon Spire A lone tower of the Jackdaw Palace - woe betide you if you ever cross the threshold in chains. The winding staircase is lined with cells, and the very top chamber is the best. The torture chamber. Enjoy your visit... Forum Led by: Taralin	0	0	-- In: ---- By:

	Flying Caverns The entrance to the Kingdom is just along the path, it may be dark, but it is the only way to get there. A few laterns are at both ends, but they must be left at the entrance/exit when you leave. At the exit of the cave, there is a gate. The gate was recently placed there by Mithos in order to keep unwanted visitors out of the kingdom. Two guards wait outside the gate, inorder to enter, you must show them the emblem of the kingdom, a broken sword. Forum Led by: Mithos	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Winged Kingdom The castle in which the Dinduia reside. Within its geat halls, ther are many secrets that the King himself doesn't even know of. There is a throne room, of course, quaters for all its residents, king, knights, ect., and a tourture chamber/dungeon combination at the lower most level. Forum Led by: Mithos	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Hollow Church This is the place where the Dinduias accept or deny their members. Along its walls are the dipictions of several saints and apposiles, in the form of stained glass. It is ironic that this is where they accept their members because few have faith. Forum Led by: Mithos	0	22	-- In: ---- By:
	Dark Arena Within a Cave behind the Castle lies one of the Darkest Dueling Arenas within the land. Nearly nothing can be seen other than the swift movements of your oppenates sword. Best of luck to any who try and fight within the cave, Forum Led by: Mithos	0	0	-- In: ---- By:

	Castle of Sand A large castle made of, you guessed it, SAND!!! Glittering, shiny, sparkling sand! It's the perfect size for a Prismatic in human form and there are even fairy sized rooms for those in tiny form.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	The Shipwrecked Ruins A large wooden ship, that appeared to have washed up on shore a rather long time ago. Prismatics often play here and some have even set up little fairy houses with the shells and shiny things taht wash up on the beach. There is a story though about buried treasure under the sand in the Captain's bedroom, but no one has been brave enough to go and look for it.	0	10	-- In: ---- By:

	Labyrinth Lighthouse While most of the other lands have battle arena's in which to hurt or mentally try their members, the Prismatic have their own unique way of pitting people against each other and themselves. It's a giant maze constructed inside the structure of an old stone lighthouse a little ways away from the Castle of Sand. The collective playfullness of the prismatics cause the labyrinth to change every night, and not even the Lady Kari knows the way out every day. So come in for a treat and if you manage to find your way through congradulations, can you do it again tomorrow?	0	0	-- In: ---- By:

	Emerald Meadow The entrance to the Emerald Jungle, realm of the Yavearl. It is just like many other meadows, and rather nondecript. It has lush, green grass and your usual wild flowers, as well as a few holes of burrow animals. Scattered around it's cricumference are trees and other foliage commonly found in the Emerald Jungle. Forum Led by: Meveta	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Caer Ardamar Caer Ardamar is an architectural wonder, or so the Yavearl like to boast. The entire castle is suspended in the treetops via a complicated system of beams, supports, and rigging. Not a single support or beam touches the ground. The castle is located in the most ancient sector of the jungle, where trees with more than ten feet diameters can be found. Most of it is built of wood so hard it feels like stone and as dark Spanish mahogany from the old world. Though several new structures have been made. The castle is expertly hidden among the foliage and made to blend in with the green and brown of the jungle. Several vines cover the sides to aid in the camoflage effect, and only the observatory tower rises above the trees. Many of the Yavearl live here, including their Lady. Forum Led by: Meveta	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Ancient Oak Grove An ancient oak, about 20 feet in diameter, is where all the Welcomings of new Yavearl take place. The oak has a mass of knotted and twisted roots at its base, creating a perfect seat. A single emerald orb is embedded in the bark oif the oak and glows with light at all times, though the instensity of its brightness always changes. A stone altar is set in the middle of the grove, directly in front of the orb, and on it is placed an amulet for the newcomer. A very beautiful and sacred place, the Ancient Oak Grove is never disrupted with boistrous behaviour or angry shouting. Rather, it is filled with a gentle quite or the soft singing of a Yavearl choir. Forum Led by: Meveta	0	10	-- In: ---- By:
	Nwalma Ruins The ruins of the original kingdom are a favorite training ground for aspiring warriors. The fallen buldings and trees are covered in moss, ferns, and vines. Around the ruins, are very tall trees, all hung with thick vines. Be careful, a snake can seem like a vine when one is in the heat of combat. Ancient devices, jewelry, and weapons can still be found here, though many are deteriorate or useless because of age. Forum Led by: Meveta	0	0	-- In: ---- By:

	Laratti Castle At the deepest trench of the Laratti sea is the Nensirtir Castle. It is made from the finest shells and coral in the sea. Only a Nensirtir can find it easily, because the shells reflect the water, making it appear invisible. The castle is home to most of the Nensirtir.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:

	Coral Cove This is the small cove off the castle where all of the new Nensirtir are welcomed into the Laratti Ocean. Many different colors of pretty coral are here, ranging in colors from a bright orange to a deep, almost black purple. A group of swordfish hide in little niches in the coral, for induction reasons....	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Sand prison Under the castle, there is a prison made entirely of sand. The sand is extremely fine, and can easily get into eyes and underneath fingernails if you attempt to dig your way out. Most prisoners go mad within a week of capture, for they cannot get out, no matter how hard they try, or how much they dig.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Laratti Ocean Shore This is the sandy shore leading into Laratti Ocean. Colorful shells pepper the shore, and the very fine sands seem to shimmer slightly. Many Nensirtir like to just hang out here, chatting with one another, or solving a problem. Battle Challenges are made here, where someone comes up to another, and throws a handful of sand at their back. If a challenge is accepted, it must be taken to the Nensirtir Battledome.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Nensirtir Battledome This is a beautiful arena made of stone, coral, and bits of seaweed. The coral covers the top, and seaweed hangs down, creating a sort of fancy entryway for those who wish to practice or battle against another Nensirtir, or someone of another race. Magic may be used as well as normal weapons. Poisoned weapons are not permitted in the arena.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:

	Lava Mote Guarding the castle is a mote of what looks like lava, although the colour is a putrid green. Transparent, it brings heat just like normal magma, but something is different about this substance that is blocking the stairs that lead up to the castle. An iron drawbridge is, however, placed there for expected visitors. Just in case, a ring of spectral guardians stand around the compartment in which the stairs are located and will only let you through with The Overlord's permission. Forum Led by: Sakrae Trusk	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Magma Castle A set of onyx stairs leads up to the top of the volcano, where a mammoth black castle made of hard magma towers like a bad omen. A green glow comes from the castle, and constant moaning can be heard eminating from it. At the top is yet another ring of phantom guards, although they let you through at first sight if not a known enemy. Huge obsidian double doors with iron knockers stand open, and inside an eerie mist glows... Forum Led by: Sakrae Trusk	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Induction Cove To the right of the castle is a place they call Induction Cove. It is strewn with rivers of phantom lava, an overall dangerous place. A large golden seat lies in the center of the place for Sakrae when he is accepting a new member. A tattered red carpet is rolled out for the new member up to Sakrae's throne, where he will present them with everything they need and appoint them a rank. Sakrae never bothers to be human at this time, thus he can also test the inductee's courage. Venture inside if you no longer value your soul... Forum Led by: Sakrae Trusk	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
	Challenge Arena In the back of the castle is a huge ring. Not only is it a place for one on one battles but also an obstacle course or a place for tournaments. Rows of seats for spectators are supplied, although it is rare that anyone come. The mages often battle to test their skills and to earn the rank of high mage, and the healers do their best to cure the wounded. It is a place for all sorts of training, and the warriors, although this race prefers magic, can also come and battle for the high ranks in the Overlord's Legion.

	Dungeon A ways underground, near the boiling lava of the dead volcano, is a dungeon. It is huge, expanding over the length of two football fields. There are many cells, some larger than others, and multiple torture devices for those who are skilled in the 'art'. Skeletons from Sakrae's foes lie in the cells and spirits keep watch over the living inhabitants of the dungeon. Captives who Sakrae wishes to keep alive are tortured to the inch of death and then brought back to begin it anew, they have the "best" living conditions.
