For months earthquakes have trembled Nightmist's grounds and the mountains to the south of it. The elders and shamans of the communities have been baffled as to why they've been occurring; in no record has anything ever been said about months of earthquakes or of great tremors that last for hours on end. As more and more earthquakes passed through the forest and Nightmist, a giant rift in the ground devoured a small portion of Sentent. The newly formed rift stretches beyond the eyes can see, to the other side of the mountains. Within a week of the rifts developement, many adventurers scrounged up enough courage to seek out the wonders of the new lands; warriors and merchants, mages and paladins, even guards and priests chose to explore the rich enviroment. To everyone's amazement, the two-week old rift already had tall trees, wild flowers, and packs of herbivore animals grazing. On either side of the great rift sits large, pale grey, granite mountains that scale thousands of feet up the skyline. Visitors of the rift tell stories of amazingly beautiful sunflowers that stand ten feet tall, packs of elk that aren't afraid of approaching parties, small ponds and streams with water so pure that you can see to the bottom and all the fish swimming, and of a single odd creak that is jet black. Of the people who speak of the creak, a few alarmed adventurers told of when the water was in their hands or in water skins, the water no longer was black, but a light bluish-green color, and when drank, the water not only alleviated their thirst, but healed their wounds as well. Some travelers even told of a mysterious tribal community that worships scorpions and feast on live animals.

Ice_Cold Pages You from Dirt Trail (Dark Creek Rift)

------------------------------------
these would be thrown throughout the rift with the walk-in description right above them and the page thats below them. Once again the descriptions are rather large, but I feel that they need to be that long to continually build up the fact that the area is very beautiful and unlike anything the adventurer has ever seen before.

You are standing in a patch of bird-of-paradise flowers. A kaleidoscopic of orange, blue, and green frame the waterfall. You may go East or North.

look around

You are standing in the midst of a patch of bird-of-paradise flowers. A waterfall sings a soothing song as the water is pulled helplessly to the ground into a cool pool at the base of the waterfall. Remarkably clear, you can easily see the bottom of the shallow lake and the abundant fish swimming around. Further beauty lies to the East, or you can go North towards the city Nightmist.

You are standing in a small field. Flowers such as stargazer lilies, orange gerbera daisies, and yellow poms surround you. Though the lush greenery is full of life, there are no animals in the midst of the beauty. You may go North or South.

You are standing next to a tainted creek. The creeks shore is completely barren; nothing but ash and dirt cover the ground beneath you. You may return East to the flowers and trees, South along the creek, North towards Nightmist, or you can wade acrossed the creek by going West.

look around
----------
You are standing on the shore of a dark creek. Sparse, dead trees are the only feature disrupting the barren strip running parallel to the creek. The loose dirt shifts and crumbles beneath the weight of your body, contrasting sharply with the lush greenery mere yards away. To your North are the Mountains if Sentent, a meadow to the East, and the dirty creek is to your West. You can walk along the creek by going South.

[Raylen]

i remember this. always thought it was alright XD

but i thought, wtf, it doesnt have an overpowered boss drop whats the point?

[ice_cold]

lol, for training and not to introduce a drop that will be obsolete in a few months. its just an alternative to whats in nightmist

[Raylen]

i know

i was doing what we describe in the trade as "just kidding" (in association with self-deprecating humour)

[Masta]

Nice area, and I think the pod of 50-60 is enough to attract people of all levels. So it does provide a new exciting alternative to training

This area intended for 1alt/multi/both?

[Achilles]

As the post was created in 2004, i would assume the idea was initially created for main, but now i would assume it would be an area that could be implemented on both servers.

forgot to say, supported

Edited by Achilles, 28 April 2009 - 05:49 PM.

[ice_cold]

actually, it was crated before 2004, look back on the old forum and you'll see it, this was just an updated post as the first post says, this area has already been okayed to be put in by stotic...lol hes gone obviously.

[Raylen]

hehe, put in by who?

[Masta]

Keep on hitting this idea ice_cold, It sounds good, plus if the elixirs were at 2% and only obtainable here, plus they had some use in battles / alchemical properties then it has the potential to be a nice area.
