Oh, I don't know. *Thinks* Don't really know the town, apart from the odd place here and there, and I doubt many of them will want to see me again... So, up to you! [Dragon thinks for a moment, wondering where to go.] "Well, have you been to the Bazaar? They have lots of cool things over there!"

*Thinks*
No... No, haven't been there. Sounds good.
*She starts clearing the plates away and doing the dishes*

*Smiles and looks at him, puts the plates in the cupboard.*
Okay! Let's go.

*Smiles and looks at him, puts the plates in the cupboard.* Okay! Let's go. [Dragon grins and nods.] "Ok!" [He grabs a few things and leads Elanor out of the apartment, locking it behind him. They head out to the Bazaar.]

[Dragon and Elanor return to the apartment and carry everything in, then put everything that up. After that, they decided to go over the maps they bought before heading out again.]

*Pokes her head curiously over Dragon's shoulder*
So, what's that place?

"Huh?"
[Dragon looks up from the map and blinks, then smiles.]
"Oh! Looks like another Ishtarian map, like yours."
[Dragon points at one of the nations.]
"That's Deningrad"
[He points at another.]
"Gilburas."
[Another.]
"Necrotic..."
[Yet again.]
"Lotinor."

Oh, cool!
Wow... That place looks really big. Have you ever been there?

Oh, cool! Wow... That place looks really big. Have you ever been there? [Dragon nods.] "Remember Svitri, in the Kingdom of Cross? That is far, far to the south of this map. I've been to Deningrad, Gilburas, Pandathaway, and Lotinor. Never Necrotic, nor would I ever want to go there. Yeah, it's a really, really big world. Funny part is, it's only half a sphere. It's a little weird, but yeah, it works."

Oh? Wow, cool. What are those places like?
Why don't you want to go to Necrotic? What's there?
*Blinks*
Wow, that's odd.

Oh? Wow, cool. What are those places like? Why don't you want to go to Necrotic? What's there? *Blinks* Wow, that's odd. [Dragon thinks on this, trying to remember what he learned. Been awhile...] "Deningrad is a theocracy led by a woman named Shana, a woman proclaimed a Saint. She fought in the Forsaken Wars. Gilburas... is creepy. They say the leader used to be one of the Forsaken, and the nation really isn't all that nice. One of the leading nations in magic. Monarchy. Pandathaway... well, you'd have to see it. They have these nine towers that go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up, holding what looks like an island in the sky. On top of that is the castle of the Council of Nine, a Magocracy. Actually, Jingzu was on that council, I think... he helped build the city, according to them. They have the.. well, all you can really say about them is legendary... family, the Jando. Lotinor is led by Jasaray, the most brilliant military mind I've ever heard of. This nation used to be led by the strongest swordsman, until Jasaray beat some guy through some silly plan, don't remember the details. All I know is that Jasaray never picked up a sword and has never held one in his life. Everyone is trained as soon as they can wield a sword. Necrotic... well, that place is just nasty. The land there is black and dead, killing any plant even grown through Druidic powers. Everything there is either undead or dying. That place is led by one of the other Forsaken. They say he is made of worms. Really creepy place that I decided never to visit. Ever." [Dragon grins.] "Yeah, it is. There is supposed to be a huge mountain range where the half-sphere ends. People refer to it as "World's End." Never been there myself and have only heard rumors."

*Listens* ... Forsaken Wars? Gee... That sounds like a great place, all in all! Bit creepy, but very very interesting to have a look some day. *Grins* Lotinor sounds like a place for you. *Thinks* So, what is beyond the mountains? Have people gone and looked?

"Uh... some powerful spellslingers got together and started doing some bad things. I was never in school, so I really don't know any more than that. It is! Great place, even if it has a lot of problems." [Dragon grins back.] "So I happen to like Lotinor. " [He shakes his head.] "Nope. No one can. They are also called the Rang'Shada mountains... the ring of fire. That mountain range has a huge desert in front of it, and it's day all through the hours. They say the air itself catches fire down there. I believe them. The closer you get to them, the hotter the climate is. Cross was a pretty nice place, but if you keep going south it gets hot. Go north and it starts getting really, really cold. Snows in Crystal Sea of Deningrad year round... never clogs the roads, thanks to the crystals."

Ah, oki. *Chuckles* Weird. Can't people cast protection from fire over there? Crystals?
