OlmGreetings, {traveller}.
Playertraveller
OlmPerhaps you want to learn a bit more about the city of {Rathleton} or you are looking for a fast {transport} to the city? Feel free to ask whatever comes to your mind.
PlayerRathleton
OlmOur city was for a long time shut off from the rest of the world by a deep {mist} that made it impossible to pass through the storm-plagued reefs, that surround the isle. ...
OlmOnly recently we established contact to the outside world and where surprised how {different} things are handled out there.
Playermist
OlmThe mist is a strange phenomenon that seems to have ebbed and waned since people can remember. When the first foreigners arrived here they did not mention the mist at all, so it might have not been around in that time. ...
OlmBut later tries to leave the isle where met with disaster and eventually no one bothered to try. When the mist arises it usually lasts for decades if not centuries. If it vanishes, it is gone for about the same time. ...
OlmSince the mists only recently retreated we hope to have at least a few decades to have contact to the rest of the world.
Playerdifferent
OlmThe economy of our {city} is based on a rare substance called {glooth}. It's produced by the gloothworms and can be influenced by {lightning} to change it's structure.
Playercity
OlmWould you like to learn more about the city's {layout}, our {government} or our {economy}?
Playerlayout
OlmIn down town you'll find the factories, living quarters and the like, whereas the magistrate, the shops and some of the more expensive houses are found in uptown on the hill. I've marked a few points of interest on your map.
Playergovernment
OlmWe have no kings or the like. The {magistrate} runs the city according to the {will} of the people.
Playermagistrate
OlmThe magistrate oversees the ruling of the city. Of course only following the {will} of the people.
Playerwill
OlmAll citizens may vote on what should be done. The number of votes a person may spend is dependent on the contribution of that person to the city's prosperity. ...
OlmThere are several issues to vote upon and even outsiders like you can with some {contribution} earn voting rights.
Playercontribution
OlmThere are several things that can be done to enhance the welfare of the city. Just walk around and have a look. You should find a plenty of opportunities to improve your standing with the city and earn votes.
Playereconomy
OlmNatural resources are quite rare and precious here but we have one thing that distinguishes us from everywhere else and that's the gloothworms. ...
OlmThey are tiny creatures that constantly produce a slimy substance that we call {glooth}. Glooth is the raw material on which many of our crafts depend upon.
Playerglooth
OlmThe glooth is an extremely useful discovery that changed everything for us. ...
OlmWith all the possibilities to shape and use the glooth it made possible to free resources for other projects and it provided us with a constant and stable supply of material and energy. ...
OlmWhen treated with {lightning}, the glooth changes its properties drastically and permanent.
Playerlightning
OlmSomehow lightning influences the way the glooth can be used. If you apply a certain degree of lightning energy to the glooth it becomes an entirely different substance after all. ...
OlmIt can be made to an elastic substance that can be given a variety of shapes in it's creation process. ...
OlmIt can become hard like metal or even different states of liquidity in which it behaves totally different and can be used as fuel for fires, grease machine parts or even as nutrition. ...
OlmWe found many uses for the glooth and yet still ingenious inventors come up with new shapes and new uses every now and then.
Playertransport
OlmThe best and actually the only way to reach the city is the {slooth} over there. It connects this isle with a {glooth}-powered slide system with the city. ...
OlmThere are several side tunnel and its hard to catch the right one on that speed. It might take a while until you got the knack to lead your slide right into the middle of the city but the others should bring you close enough.
