Lake Starfall It came in a vision--a man appeared from the sky, pointed to the mountain lake, and said unto him there, "Behold now a glimmer." This unknown stargazer thus called the lake Starfall and the name stuck through the years. Because its geography of coves and islands, Lake Starfall...

As far as the ingame alignment system is concerned: how does one become more Neutral? Are their neutral decisions in quests, which add to the neutral meter (like evil actions add points to the evil meter)? Or does neutral require one to balance their good/evil and chaotic/lawful behavior...

Underhill Naturally, the first gnomes to arrive in Steamfont set themselves to solve the question of the steam vents. Plotting the vents on a map, they determined there to be large, subterranean aquifer in the south. For several months they mined until they found the enormous cavity which...

Steamfont A geological oddity, the volcanically active mountain range, south of Faydark, known as Steamfont has baffled travelers since time immemorial. Remote, bizarre, and unpredictable, it's no surprise that it has oft been jested only a gnome could inhabit such a place. Indeed gnomes do...

Shrouded Isle In the days during the First City a great noble rose the Aristocratic ranks to become the wealthiest man the ancient world had known. His dealings, however, were not altogether wholesome and his avaricious behavior soon led him into pacts would catch up with him. There was a...

Good advice triptoy. I would agree: what you described is what I started doing. Once, I was seeking things in the lowbie world (because I was all I knew, it was what I understood). Then I did an SoD equivalent of LSD and saw the brighter world. I learned to love again; I teamed and frolicked...

I too first logged on about two years ago - raised a character to 36 or so and then stopped. I probably went 20 months or so without playing. When i came back, naturally there were those feelings of "o this isn't what it used to be." Follow this link for a post concerning lvl 30 "stagnation."...

I've been slaying Griffons in the Northern Badlands for days! Where's the girffon eye? Has anyone had a problem with this dropping?

Rangers are nice because they have a place in partys as damage dealers but they are good soloers too. You will grow accustomed to something called bow-kiting. Its basically where you run circles around your enemy and pluck him with arrows. When you get Spirit of the Wolf this aspect of the...

Halas Despite the unrelenting millstone of time, Halas remains much as it has always been: a sleepy town in the heart of the Everfrost Peaks. Its inhabitants, the Barbarians, have to thank for this consistency an unyielding hold of traditions and shamanic customs. Today one can still find the...

Sewers are great - make sure to collect rat hoods and turn them into Captain Burke at the Newport Gates. 1000xp and some coin.

Mistwoods Since the earliest records, the Mistwoods have always been a place of mystery. Early settlers who arrived upon the Island in 2000 BF described it as being "tamable" but widely "unusable." A perpetual yellow fog hangs in the forest that gives a slightly sulfurous smell. Though native...

why don't you go for something out of the blue... like two clerics, or two rangers... no one would see that coming! That way if one dies its like having two lives!

Goblin Skull Mountains During the days of peace that followed the founding of Athica and Kaladim, the mountains known toady as Goblin Skull were fertile and bore much of the agriculture yield for the New World. Little is to be said concerning these years that would interest a historian...
