Welcome to Gaia! ::

I can tell you something about the land of the Gnomes and the Dwarves. Its a great place!

The first thing you are going to want to visit is the Dwarven Mountain. Why? Well, because you can dig for treasures! Gems and ores are what you can find the most, but I have been known to find some other things in those mines.

Just yesterday, I found a moose! Yes, a moose! It was lost so I helped it get back to the forest. Who knows how it got down there, but whatever?

Oh, and just so everyone knows, all animals of earth has the capability of human speech even the insects. I find that way cool! That's how I knew the moose was lost.

The moose thanked me in her own way. Uh, you don't wanna know how. Okay, she gave me poop. She said it was to be used for fertilizer for my crops. So, moose dung is not a bad thing unless you step in it.

I put the fertilizer in my mommy's garden and those tomatoes mommy has is looking bigger than ever! Mommy didn't even know I did that for him. Tee hee hee.

Anyway, getting back to the Dwarves and Gnome lands, is if you are doing the treasure hunt, you are going to have to give half of what you got, save for live creatures like the moose I found of course, and give it to the dwarf guard at either the entrance or the exit. Depending on which city you are coming from.

If you are going to Canthor, you have to go through Dwarf Mountain. There is no more around only through.

Don't worry, if you are scared about going through the mountain, you can always go into your secret basement and access your service tunnel. There is a direct train line that will take you to Canthor. All you gotta do is select your destination and off you go.

The rail line goes throughout gaia and we are currently just finishing up on Prime Root in Atys. We have yet to build the rail line through the rest of Atys, but we will get there soon.

What's more is that the rail line can take you to the Renaissance Galaxy as well. So, you kinda gotta be specific about where you wanna go if you want to use the service train. Its express, don't worry.

The only stop you may have is if there is another express train going to collide with yours. Then you may have to wait a few seconds.

My husband Joe Higashi and I both have been working day in and day out on this humungous project, which is why I haven't been on much.

Yes, he sure did. And that was very informative. I seriously had no idea how far that expansion went. But, wow, that is pretty far.

I will explain about the Canthorian Mall since I was there just recently. The mall is very large in size and I would say would fit a small town of 2000 or more people. And that's just the food court!

There are many entertaining things to do there besides shopping. There are shows, the amusement park, and several sporty things as well. There is a hockey arena strictly for teams to play. There is a baseball field with walls capable of absorbing any home run. The SNK Baseball league often uses that particular place to practice and play. One person I would recommend seeing is Iori Yagami. The best darned pitcher SNK has. He also serves drinks in Southtown at Empress Dee's lounge in the Bogard Summer Mansion.

You'd need to take the train to the Renaissance Galaxy though in order to get there from Canthor.

One amusement park feature is the Shark Attack ride. Andy Bogard often is there killing a mechanical great white shark before your very eyes! The mechanical shark is much like the real thing, except there are safety precautions in place so that there are no fatalities.
