ANDESTREA: FAÇAFIL
Welcome to bright chilly Façafil, slumped on the bottom eaves of the Eaushorn, where fallows howl and the Circle plies their faith! Curious about civil unrest? Don't miss the upcoming revolution between poor and rich, Circle and secular, legasar versus puny human! Why read about insurgency when you can light a torch yourself?
Upper City Cliff-Diving
Does Duke Richard Stockton, stern ruler of Façafil, really throw political dissidents and artists off the three-hundred foot drop known as Elandra's Plunge? We're not sure either, but as they say, getting down is half the fun! Some performers even claim to have had religious experiences as they've plummeted towards the surface of the modestly named Stockton Lake. (This guy doesn't have an ego problem, does he?)
We teach you what and where to say and sing, ensuring you a free ride to the top with Stockton's personal guards, but after that, it's all up to you! Whoa, Bessie, hold your nose and look out for those rocks below!
The Northern Wilds
More than 90 percent of the known world is unsettled and unmarred by the hands of men. Take this rare opportunity to see Andestrea as Elandra must have originally created it.
We give you a knife, a flask of oil, and a pound of dried jerky, then set you free into the brush; you choose your own adventure. Fight off fallows wolves, bears, and the cruel heat of the sun while you persist in that never-ending quest for water. Enjoy the company of snakes and scorpions as you search for a nice hole in which to sleep. And maybe, just maybe -- if you're really lucky -- you'll even spot some wild dhukla and take your honored place in the circle of life. (See separate warning on dhukla feeding habits.)
Ah, nature at its finest! Wander your own route, and make your peace with the world at large.
Orester's "Most Dangerous Game"
Sure, they're racists. Sure, they despise gowaar. And sure, they're even responsible for a series of brash murders and arsons practiced all around the Façafil countryside and northern Andestrea. But you know, they're really all just a bunch of good old boys, and they don't mean any harm, and they even care about the environment!
To top things off, they're all filthy rich and know how to throw a humdinger of a party.
Choose one of two activities. For the
less physically inclined, we offer solo unarmed combat, a la "to the death," between you and an Orester captive, as their lackeys stand around to applaud, whistle, and cheer your efforts. For those with more chutzpah, assume the role of a fleeing gowaar, while the rest of Orester hunts you through the woods like a dog. Let me tell you, you've never felt fear like THIS before!
(But whatever you choose, be sure not to miss the after-hours barbecue!)

Monster of Stockton Lake
Don't believe in primordial beasts that exist only to feed on the unwary? You'll be singing a different tune after an exciting encounter with the unknown on Klepburg's largest lake. Lay those rumors to rest as you search for the elusive Lake Stockton monster.
What you do after you find him, of course, is all up to you. But we know we're positively breathless with anticipation at the opportunities.
