Navah In this sprawling city, the Empress watches over her people. Vendors sell their wares from mats, stalls, tents and the occasional shop. It has been said that if you want the finest jewelry, gowns and perfumes, Navah is the place to go. Some of these fine wares are transported from Oasis. Other are crafted by the hands of the skilled jewelry smiths and seamstresses. The buildings in this city are unique. Grand stone buildings sit next to complex wooden ones. There are buildings of brick, clay and other materials, even the occasional tent serves as a house for those used to traversing the desert sands. Each building is of a design different from the others, making this a facinating place to wander.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Oasis This smallish city is known as the Last Refuge. Here is water, food and shelter. It is the last resting place before the carivans and fools enter the desert's sand. Wonderful riches can be found in Oasis: silks, perfumes, jewels and trinkets all wait to be bought and sold in the busy market place. Crime is high here, and the desperate look to become rich.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Orun Desert Hot at day and frigid at night, no one wants to spend much time in this desert. There are few oasises, most taken over by bandits who charge high prices for the water and shade. Many people venture into this place seeking the riches of those who died in the desert, but they often die, just adding their own treasures to the sands for the next fool to find.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Ru' Manon Long carvans, travelers and even some royalty will travel to Ru' Manon. It's a relatively small place, most of the buildings being inns. Some of these inns are the common, one- or two-story inns with run by a small family. Others are almost as large as a decent mannor and have a full-staff of serving men and women to wait upon the guests. Why is Ru' Manon so special? It is here that the Temple of Gidaal was constructed. It's a remarkable building constructed of the finest wood and beautiful grey and white stone. Bronze trims the building, causing it to glisten and almost glow with the right light. Several bells, all crafted to ring with a different tone, rest in their towers, waiting to sing. A grand flight of stairs leads up to the mohagony double doors. These doors are intricately carved with sceens from legend. You can spend days stairing at the carvings, and still not see every detail they have to offer. Upon entering the building, one will find themselves in a vast room, marble floors painted in many colors from large stained-glass windows. Life-like statues stand in a ring on the center of the floor, cast of bronze, gold and silver. They are cast in the likeness of Hana, Jia, Jeshri and Laih. In each corner there is another statue, two carved from black obsidian and two from white marble. The the black statues watch each other diagonally across the room, as the white's do. The marble statues are Shaa and Aeva, the black are Plague and Insanity. There is nothing else in the room. No tapestries, no carpets or benches. Just the statues. Two doors lead deeper into the temple, one leading to the small quarters where the High Priest lives. The other to a small collection of books and scrolls. Both doors are locked to visitors and guarded heavily.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Blackmore Mountains These mountains have been mined and mined again, but only very small quantities of brass, bronze and iorn have been found. These jagged mountains seem to have nothing to offer but some peace and quite for the wanderer. However, lying deep in the mountains, past a labrynth of tunnels is a great cavern where the Mother Dragon watches over her clutch.
