Pearl City Area

The greatest remaining city in Histeria since the Fall of the Realm is known as the Pearl City.  A large and diverse place, the selection of any sort of armor or other type of gear will keep you shopping for hours on end.  Now that you've managed to make your way to the great city of the North via the Ravan Road(s), you can better equip yourself with more powerful weapons and equipment.  However, realize that eventually you must go north beyond the village of Castleville and to Semli's Fork, choosing a path for yourself and your companions.

Up north, the lands are frigid and frozen, and the creatures that dwell in such places are fierce and evil.  You will take notice of two main pathways when you reach the edge of the Fork.  One, leading north, is called the Pass of the Lost Dragon.  As rumors from the pubs and bars in Castleville have suggested, there are mighty dragons that have made their homes in caves and mountains along the Pass.  Many of these creatures play a part in the quests for Epic Weapons, but they are also amongst the most powerful of all creatures in Histeria.  You and your companions must be strong to trifle with them or you will not survive.

The second path, heading west, is called the Path of the Phantasmist.  If you've been listening carefully as you've traveled the lands, you will have learned about an ancient enchanter that has made its home far to the northwest.  The Path of the Phantasmist is a particularly dangerous road, splitting up and breaking off in different parts.  Here you will also discover the Jam Wasteland and Camilla Cemetery. Beyond both of these areas lie even more danger and despair.

Though these roads will not be the last you will traverse, you will return to the Far North before the end.
