Shattered Kingdoms

Holy cow, so much wah wah and such petty excuses. I don't even play atm, but yeah, who goes raiding without flying and WoR on him? Crybabies! You once cry about the cookie-cutter and then you want it back, because your cookie is not as fancy as theirs.

Or how about you find some lava pit on the mainland and enter it to ride a slalom course to the volcano until it burps you out!

I was going to say this, but you beat me to it. This is exactly why I was so exacting on standards for the HQs, because I knew this would happen. And this particular difference isn't even a change in those standards.

You utter the words, 'oahz'.

A New Beach
~~~bb~~~~ The rising volcano has created a rocky beach of sorts. More
~~~bLb~~~ rock than beach, some sand does seem to have washed up along the
~~~~*b~~~ edge of the water. The rock is certainly from the volcano, dark
~~~~~~~~~ and jagged. It's partly cloudy, very hot, and very windy.

A Young Island
~~~~~~~~~ The area here is barren of vegetation and animal life. All
~~~bb~~~~ that is visible is a bunch of blackened rock that has cooled from
~~~b*b~~~ molten lava. The sea is barely kept at bay against the tiny
~~~~bb~~~ island that is growing in its midst. At one point on the island,
~~~~~~~~~ one can look into the depths of the tube from which the lava
seems to have spilled. However, passage into the tube isn't possible
because of the narrow opening. It's partly cloudy, very hot, and very
windy.

Crater of a Lava Tube
Sunlight streams into the entrance of the old lava tube reflecting and
refracting off the black obsidian which makes up the walls of this tunnel.
The passage way expands towards the exit and the obsidian appears to have
solidified in the form of waves as the magma cooled after the latest
eruption. Light seems to darken further down the shaft and shadows seem to
dance darkly reflected by the rock creating the feeling that one is being
watched. An eerie silence hangs in the air here, sending a chill through
the spine.

yeah to clarify we want diversity, but certainly not unique advantages that nobody else has -- Exile jail for example

and wow Demon..... so people who are trying to even get there have to take 25% hitpoints losses....?
