                         `#Daemonica `$SaTan's `#Dominion

`6{USER} `2of the realm, connected on node [`%{NODE}`2]  at [`@{BAUD}`2] baud.

                 `8Dusk in the forest somewhere..`5

`!Y`2ou've been wandering for hours, through this thick brush, lost you think,
`!Y`2eah, hopelessly so, no longer certain which direction to go.

`!I`2t's getting dark and you are getting scared, darn those rumors.
`!S`2uddenly from the Shadows it noislessy appears.

`!B`2ehind it in the distance, you notice, a soft reddish glow 
`!C`2ould it be? Is he? `%OH GOD NO!`2.

`!T`2he silence is deafening, you take a deep breath, sizing up the enemy
`!C`2lutching your`0 {WEP} `2tightly, as fear rushes through your body.

`!E`2nough of this already, you prepare to strike, lets get it on,
`6"`%I will not be scared to death by no Goddamn Daemon.`6"`2

`!S`2uddenly there is movement and there is another behind Ya...

`%"`2Welcome  warrior, my name is `#ahkenaton `2and you are in
                     `$SaTan's Dominion`2.

To your amazement he `0sheaths`3 his blade and offers to walk you
into the city, you reluctantly agree and he begins to talk..

`3There are many things to do here and if you learn all the
tricks you can become a very formidable warrior.

The ultimate goal of everyone here is to become `#Daemon Knight`3
and or a `%Capo`3 not necessarily in that order.

Daemon Knights are warriors who have been knighted by the sage
Seth, visit him from the portal room.
To become a knight you must first complete the daemon knight
quest, visit the portal room for more details.

The Capo is a title given to the warrior who has killed the most
daemons in the boneyard. There are special privileges given
to both knight's and capo's, one of which is access to the
capo's suite, a place ordinary warriors are not allowed to
enter.

                   `%THE BONEYARD`3

The Boneyard, ahh yes, well it's a vast isolated area to the
east of the city that can only be accessed from the gate
or the portal room.

It's a  desolate place, strewn with huge rocks, bleached bones,
rotting flesh and haunted by lower level daemons, supposedly
`$Satan `3himself hunts here.

As a warrior you are expected to venture into the boneyard daily
and kill as many daemons as you can, they are rumored to
be in posession of large quantities of gold, gems and "`@blood stones`3"
that you can remove from the corpse after a kill.

`3Stones are small `@reddish `3pebbles that the daemons treasure,
collect as many as you can, then trade them in at the gem pitt.

The Boneyard is also the only place you can find the mystical
`9colut`3 crystals that are required to complete the quest
and become a Demon Knight.

                   `%THE  GATE`3

Over the years a small compound has developed around the massive
iron gates that guards the entrance to the city, from here you
visit places, like `%the Inne`3 where you can rent a room and
spend the night, alone or for a fee with a  companion.

There is also the more gruesome `%Souls R Us`3, here you can
sell somebody's soul, or repossess yours if you happen to  have
lost it in the boneyard. This is also the home of the dreaded
`0well of souls`3 which has become a favourite tourist destination
for some reason.

Selling someone's soul is perhaps the best way  to get even with an
enemy, it not only prevents them from going into the boneyard it also
weakens them and reduces their hitpoints by half everytime they
enter the city.

From the gate you can access the `%ATM `3which will let you access
your funds back in the realm, if you have any.
You will also have access to `%The Vault`3 a huge complex
located in the middle of the city and you get a free account.

It's a gigantic storage facility that you can use to store not
only your gold, but your gems, fairies, fights, `#{WEP} `3 as
well as your `#{ARM}`3. Robberies are rare, but have been known
to occur from time to time, wanna be robbers are severely
punished.

The gate also houses the `5tourism `3department, visit them if
wish to know more about specific city locations.

                   `%THE CITY`3

I must be getting back to my quarters, Seth and i are hosting
a dinner for `%R.H.B `2(`4red hot babes`3) `3magazine, but before i leave
i'll just give you a quick briefing on some of the most interesting
places in the city.

                  `6Medusa's Place`3
`3Run by quite possibly the ugliest thing you'll ever see,
if you have money to spend then this is a place you want to be.
She sells everything from hitpoints and strength, to skill uses
and horses. Very expensive, but worth every gold piece.

                  `6Warriors Guild`3

Everbody goes here, check out the training center, the warrior
profiles (even make your own) and if you are a capo or a knight
visit the capo's suite.

                  `6Gem PiTT`3
For all your `0gem `3needs, the pitt is the place to be, buy sell,
trade or convert your gems, play with the keeper and win free
gems, or trade in your bloodstones.

                  `6Fairies Etc.`3
Buy or sell a fairy, buy/sell fights or kids, visit the numbers
shop, run entirely by fairies, check this store out.


                  `6Daemon Wares`3

This place carries only two pieces of equipment, the legendary
`7Daemon Finger `3sword and it's mate the `7Coffin lid `3armour.
These are automatically given to daemon Knights, however
the average warrior can purchase them with gems.
They have an excellent payment plan, stop in for more details.

                  `6The Portal Room`3

The most popular place in town, from this room you can visit
"`#Other`3" places, from exotic destinations like an ancient
`$Egyptian `3city, where you can visit the pharoah and the queen
or romp with the royal guards, to `8Daemonville`3, where you
can attempt to "mug" a sleeping daemon.

There is also the newly built "`%launch pad" `3which depending
on who the keeper is can offer a wider variety of destinations.
This is one place you gotta visit before you leave.

Another stop is Seth's Cave, where you can get "hints", win a nymph or
become a daemon knight. You can also visit his backyard and play a game
or two with him, (he's a sore loser). 

`3Well that's about it for me, it's a huge town and i didn't cover
everything (`0didn't wanna ruin it for ya`3) so have fun looking
around, if you have any questions or run into problems i am
available at `%ahkenaton@technologist.com`3 or on the web at
`#http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Cavern/7633`3 i'm outta here...

`2With that he turns and walks away, offering up a final hint,
`4"`3Nymphs won''t let you die, catch em fore they fly`4"`2,
`2You are not sure what that means, but you wave as as he disappears
into the shadows, up ahead you notice, looms the massive bulk of
`%The city gate..
