The Black Wizard Vebahn and the Black Tower's Servants have drawn the attention of Morrigaine the White in a most unfavorable way. The Black tower has been rumored dabbling in summonings from Dark Planes unknown to the realm of BatMUD. Morrigaine the White Wizard, protector of the realm has a sworn duty to ensure safety and peace.. but the White Tower is in need of assistance.

Gorgar 40+ rooms (probably a lot more) Anthill Newbie parties or solo midbies. Beanstalk "You are standing at the top of the beanstalk and feel dizzy as you look down to the ground. Everything down there is so tiny you can't distinguish the differences between things." <20 Brotherhood of Sorcery (area) Something for almost all levels, although it can get dangerous pretty fast for very small players if you stick your nose into places where it doesn't belong... not that there's much to kill for newcomers in the first place though, just a couple of really small mobs here. Mid- to high-level players can often be seen doing exp here, and highbies shouldn't have much problems on any monster on this area, given that they have some sort of party and hands.

The area is split up into three different areas, a gnome area, a hobbit area, and a dwarven area each with its own cave. 38+ Oasis Obelisk A huge black obelisk that cannot possibly have been built by man. The walls absorb light and the entire place seems to radiate with strong magical force. 19 Oystria Medium, some mobs midbie-soloable, some require or at least benefit from having a party. Underwater city inhabited by crab-people. Only accessible via a ship. Public gardens Newbie solo. An area full of small monsters with juicy organs. Each room has also herbs growing in them. 45 rooms Pyramid Definitely not for newbies. Bigger midbie parties (6-9 man), or highbies (3-9). Nerves of steel recommended for some of the opponents, and carefulness due to the nasty traps. A generally nasty place, filled mostly with undeads of varied sizes and difficulty. There are also traps, and many of the nasties block and track. There are two major eq monsters, Medusa and Z'ragore, though the latter currently (as of August 2011) has no eq. Several smaller mobs also have stat items, though much less interesting ones. Pyran You stand at the entrance to the World of Pyran..

Mardus<analytics uacct="UA-3466433-3" ></analytics>' first and only own area (as of December 2012).

Be careful to sail fully into the dock, otherwise you might jump into the forcefield when disembarking and be painfully banished, rendering you unable to reach your ship. The shops in Silver Lake vary both in how often they are open and in their prices. All of them have a base price for their goods, but what they are willing to sell for on a particular day depends on a number of factors. The shop you should probably watch out for is the forge shop, since prices there can vary from the base of 50k to over 100k. You must dock your ship for the shopkeepers to be able to add in most of the features they sell. The city of Stagira Small area (80 rooms) that has two subareas, having lots of aggro birds, about half of them undead.
