TS IS STILL PERMITTED IN ISOLATED REGION
S. HE IS EAGER TO TEACH YOU WHAT HE KNOW
S, AND WILL IN FACT REFUSE A FEE, PREFER
RING TO TEACH FOR THE SIMPLE JOY OF IT..

NOW THAT EVEN A GOOD SWIMMER WOULD FIND
IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SWIM FROM ONE ISLAND TO
THE NEXT..THIS BRIDGE IS THE ONLY WAY A
CROSS...14) YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF CITY LORE
SERVES YOU WELL. THIS PLACE ISN'T SO MUC
H A CITY AS A PRISON..THE STREETS ARE UN
PAVED AND EVIDENTALY DOUBLE AS AN OPEN.-

OTHERS HAVE BEEN GUTTED BY FIRE..EVERYTH
ING IS DAMP, SHOWING THIS CITY IS LITTL
E DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER ON OCEANA...T
HE RISING SEA LEVEL IS ERODING THE LAND
UPON WHICH THE CITY IS LOCATED, AND II I

EPRESSING AS THE REST OF THE .CITY..THE
CENTER OF THE TEMPLE IS DOMINATED BY A H
UGH STATUE OF THE YELLOW.MUD TOAD, SUNK

NKS THESE DAYS,A PREIST OF THE TEMPLE CO
MPLAINS..THIS WHOLE CITY MUST BE BUILT O
N A LAKE. WE'LL ALL SINK AWAY TO NOTHING
IF THIS KEEPS UP!..18) THE CAMP IS DESE
RTED. APPARENTLY EVERYONE WHO LIVED HERE
WAS SLAIN IN YOUR RECENT BATTLE. YOU NO
TICE SIGNS OF HABITATION, BUT WHOEVER LI
VED HERE WAS DIRT POOR..IT'S UNLIKELY YO
U'LL FIND ANYTHING OF WORTH IN THIS CAMP
. .GLANCING BACK AT THE PILE OF BODIES I
N YOUR WAKE, AND THEN AT THE BUCOLIC SCE
NE OF THE CAMP, YOU SENSE THERE WAS PROB
ABLY A BETTER WAY OF HANDLING THIS SITU
ATION. .THE MAN WHO CONFRONTED YOU SEEME
D ALOT LIKE YOURSELF. .MAYBE HE MISTOOK
YOU FOR AUTHORITY FROM PURGATORY, AND ON
LY SOUGHT TO .DEFEND HIMSELF. .THIS WAS
PROBABLY A TIME FOR WORDS, RATHER THAN S
WORDS...19) AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, THE SIC
K MAN'S FEVER BREAKS. HE PROPS HIMSELF U
P ON ONE ELBOW AND SMILES. .I WAS DREAMI
NG,HE SAYS IN A WEAK VOICE. I IMAGINED I
FLOATED ON A VAST BLACK POOL FAR BENEAT
H THE EARTH. I THINK IT WAS THE UNDERWOR
LD. I SAW A GODDESS BOUND IN CHAINS. SHE
WAS STRANDED ON AN ISLAND.GUARDED BY MO
NSTERS. HE LAUGHS. I GUESS I HAD A FEVER
..THE MAN TRIES TO STAND UP BUT FINDS HE
'S STILL WEAK. YOU HELP HIM SIT UP..MY N
AME IS ULM,HE SAYS..I GUESS I HAVE YOU T
O THANK FOR BREAKING MY FEVER. .THE GUAR
DS AT THE BRIDGE BEAT ME UP, AND I JUST
CAN'T SEEM TO BOUNCW BACK. INTRIGUED
, YOU ENCOURAGE ULM TO CONTINUE. I ESCAP
E FROM PURGATORY .THROUGH A SECRET DOOR
IN THE WALL. I TRIED TO CROSS THE BRIDGE
NORTH OF HE CITY,BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE
RIGHT PAPERS,AND THE GUARDS BEAT ME. I'
VE BEEN COUGHING BLOOD EVER SINCE..ULM'S
EYELIDS BEGIN TO DROOP, AND IN MINUTES
HE'S ASLEEP AGAIN. .A MOMENT LATER HIS B
ODY STIFFENS, AND ULM DIES. AT LEAST HIS
FINAL MOMENTS WERE PLEASENT ONES...20)
IN THE CENTER OF THE RUINED TOWER THAT O
CCUPIES THE HEART OF THIS CITY, YOU FIN
D A DAIS AND WHAT'S LEFT OF A STATUE. TH
E DAIS STANDS ABOUT FOUR FEET HIGH,AND,F
ROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS,APPEARS TO HAVE
BEEN PLACED HERE SINCE THE TOWER WAS DES
TROYED. A PLAQUE ON THE DAIS READS,'THIS
PLAQUE MARKS THE ORIGINAL LOCATION OF L
ANAC'TOOR'S TOWER AND MAGIC ACADEMY. ..T
HIS STATUE COMMEMORATES HIS FEATS. THERE
USED TO BE A STATUE ATOP THE DAIS, BUT
IT HAS BEEN REMOVED,LEAVING ONLY LANAC'T
OOR'S SWOLLEN FEET BEHIND..THE STATUE AP
PEARS TO HAVE BROKEN OFF CLEAN AT THE AN
KLES.. .21) YOU PICK YOUR WAY THROUGH TH
E RUINS AND COME UPON A SPY POST MAINTAI
NED BY THE DEFENDERS OF BYZANOPLE. SEVE
RAL SOLDIERS ARE GATHERED HERE. .THEY AR
E GAUNT FROM MONTHS OF ISOLATION-YOU SUR
MISE THAT IF THE CITY DOES NOT FALL BY A
SSAULT,IT WILL SOON SUCCUMB FROM HUNGER.
THE SOLDIERS ARE LED BY A WOMAN WARRIO
R DRESSED IN WHITE AND RED. AS YET,YOU R
EMAIN UNOBSEVED..THIS SHACK HAS BEEN SET
UP AS A UNIVERSAL SHRINE FOR DILMUN'S M
ANY .RELIGIONS. ..22) A PRIEST WELCOMES
YOU AND ESCORTS YOU AROUND THE SHRINE. T
HE.MAJORITY OF THE SHRINE IS DEVOTED TO
IRKALLA, THE QUEEN OF THE UNDERWORLD, AN

INGS BETTER .LEFT UNSAID..THE PRIEST LET
S YOU WORSHIP OR OBSERVE AS YOU SEE FIT,
NEITHER CONDEMNING NOR ENCOURAGING YOUR
ACTIONS. THESE ARE HARD TIMES,HE SAYS,Y
OU HAD BETTER PRAY TO THEM ALL. WE CAN U
SE ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET...23) YOU INT
ENTLY SCRUTINIZE THE MURALS FOR SEVERAL
MINUITES, AND ARE ABLE TO ARRIVE AT A FE
W BROAD CONCLUSIONS. IT SEEMS THIS CITY
SQUARE WAS USED TO CONFINE A DRAGON. YOU
REMEMBER A LEGEND OF THE CITIES OF DILM
UN HOLDING DRAGONS CAPTIVE AS DEFENSE A
GAINST THEIR NEIGHBORS. THE MURALS DEPIC
T BLOOD SACRIFICE AND OBTUSE CEREMONY BE
ING USED TO PACIFY THE DRAGON. .IN ONE O
F THE CEREMONIES, A PRIEST IS DEPICTED A
IMING A SHORT METAL ROD AT A DRAGON, SE
EMINGLY HOLDING THE BEAST UNDER HIS SWAY
. THERE IS NO RENDERING OF THE DRAGON I
N ACTION. IT SEEMS THE DRAGON DEMANDED A
TERRIBLE PRICE FOR A PURELY DEFENSIVE
WEAPON. FURTHERMORE, THE RUINS SURROUNDI
NG THIS SQUARE OFFER MUTE TESTIMONY TO T
HE EFFECTIVENESS OF A DRAGON FOR CITY DE
FENSE...24) YOU BOARD THE SHIP AS SOON A
S THE LAST OF THE PIRATES DROP DEAD, EAG
ER TO TO SEE WHAT IT WAS THE THIEVES WE
RE SO DETERMINED TO DEFEND. YOU SEE THE
SHIP'S NAME IS THE PRAIRIE MADNESS, AND
THAT IT SEEMS TO BE FITTED OUT FOR FAST
RAIDING MISSIONS. THERE ISN'T MUCH OF A
CARGO HOLD, SO THE SHIP WON'T SERVE FOR
LONG JOURNEYS, BUT IT LOOKS VERY FAST A
ND DANGEROUS...25) WELCOME TO PHOEBUS, C
ITY OF THE SUN! CHIRPS AN ODD MECHANICAL
VOICE..YOU STOP IN YOUR TRACKS, TRYING
TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE VOICE. AFT
ER A FEW MOMENTS, YOU HEAR THE MESSAGE A
GAIN, AND DETERMINE IT IS COMING FROM A
RAISED STONE DAIS AND PLAQUE DIRECTLY I
N YOUR PATH. EVIDENTLY THE MESSAGE IS AC
TIVATED BY YOUR PRESENCE. WELCOME TO PHO
EBUS, CITY OF THE SUN! THE VOICE SAYS AG
AIN, THIS TIME A LITTLE SLOWER THAN BEFO
RE. .YOU EXAMINE THE PLAQUE AND SEE IT I
S A MAP OF THE CITY. WELLLCOOOOME TOOO
PHOEEEEEBUSSSS, CIIIITYYY OFFFF THEEEEE
SUNNNNNNNN... THE VOICE INTONES, NOW PER
ILOUSLY SLOW. SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH THE
DEVICE. A MECHANICAL HAND PROTRUDES FRO
M THE DAIS, FRANTICALLY TRYING TO SHAKE
.YOUR HAND, BUT THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE G
ETTING NEAR IT. TWO STERN LOOKING GENTLE
MEN DRESSED ALL IN BLACK STARE AT Y
OU, MAKING YOU NERVOUS. COMMITTING THE D
ETAILS OF THE MAP TO MEMORY, YOU HURRY A
WAY FROM THE SILLY DEVICE..WELLLLLLLLLLL
LLLCOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEEE...!..26) THE
WALLS OF THIS CITY ARE OF BRIGHT MARBLE
THAT SEEM TO GLOW WITH AN INNER LIGHT.
THE STREETS ARE PAVED AND CLEAN, AND THE
RE IS NO SIGN OF POVERTY OR DISORDER. TH
E HORSE CARTS RUN ON TIME. YOU CAN'T SHA
KE THE FEELING SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO GO
TRAGICALLY WRONG...27) YOU AT LAST STAND
BEFORE BEFORE THE SWORD OF FREEDOM. THE
HILT OF THE FABLED BLADE IS JUST INCHES
FROM YOUR GRASP. A HUSH COMES OVER THE
CITY OF FREEPORT. THE FURIOUSLY BOILING
WATERS PREVIOUSLY SURROUNDING THIS ISLE
HAVE SUBSIDED. YOU LOOK UP AND SEE THE
CITIZENS OF FREEPORT HAVE GATHERED ALL
AROUND THE HARBOR, WAITING TO SEE WHAT
YOU WILL DO NEXT. .SOME OF THE CITIZENS
APPEAR HAPPY, OTHERS ARE PROUD, MANY JUS
T WEAR BLANK STARES. .ONE LARGE MAN STAN
DS SILENT, BUT TEARS ROLL DOWN HIS CHEEK
S..YOU SMELL A FAINT SCENT OF OZONE. SOM
EWHERE, A BABY CRIES...28) TWO OFFICERS
OCCUPY THIS BUILDING, EVIDENTLY ASSOCIAT
ED WITH THE MILITARY FORCE DRILLING ON
THE PARADE GROUNDS OUTSIDE. THE OFFICERS
