End of the World

[SerendipitousMelody]

It sounds like a whisper
It seems like a dream
It breaks and it falls
It tears at the seam

Welcome to the End of the World

 

[SerendipitousMelody]

The scenery changes from month to month, as it is a growing city.
As of now:

At the edge of a crumbling city, one would find a strange group of buildings.
Trees had grown in the area, and tents were set up in random places, housing vendors of varying kinds.
They changed from week to week, depending on who was in the area.
The buildings were distinct, but not very well kept from the outside.
In the center was a fountain with a beautiful woman in the middle.
She looked almost real.
Water poured from a tree above her, cascading around her into a pond that housed fish.
The garden around it was beautiful, and didn't seem to match the buildings around it.

Not much to go on. But the flyers had been specific. It was a haven.

Building One
The sign on the door reads:
"End of the World Bar"
This is the hub of everything.
The gathering place where people could relax and unwind.
All are welcome, and none are turned away.

Building Two
The sign on the door reads:
"End of the World Inn"
This is where all travelers are directed to.
They can stay as long as they like.
And their room's are free of charge.
Donations are accepted, but none are demanded.

Building Three
The sign on the door reads:
"Clinic and Apothecary"
The door is usually locked,
and none enter or leave as far as anyone can tell.
The only one who may know is Taliah,
and she isn't going to say a word.

Building Four
The sign on the door reads:
"Solicitors Are Not Welcome"
This is the home of Taliah.
Enter only at your own risk.

End of the World Bar
Brushed cedar counters and tables litter the main room.
The lighting is dimmed so to add comfort to the room.
Rich blue velvet curtains cover the walls, and keep daylight from entering in.
The wait staff is friendly, and prompt.
Each will do anything to keep Taliah's guests happy.
Drinks are served from the bar, a variety of drinks hidden behind closed cupboard doors.
A kitchen can be found through the back,
where the wait staff works to make whatever your heart desires.

End of the World Inn
Stepping inside, you'd find yourself staring down a hallway.
At the end is an elevator, going to the other two floors.
The first floor has a fitness room on the right, and a pool and hot tub on the left.
Ten rooms are on the second and ten on the third floor, five on each side of the hall.
Each room is furnished simply with dark furniture, and blue curtains and blankets.
They have a bed, a dresser, a nightstand, and a stand up closet
as well as a bathroom with a deep bathtub, a double sink, and a large walk in shower.
Each room on the second and third floor have a balcony with french doors leading out to it.

Vendors of the Week

Verrigan
...A face like a rat, and a smell like death...
This strange little man sells jewelry.
It looks homemade.
It's made of strange stones and jewels.
Something pretty, and for a good price...

Thomas McGuire
...Swordmaster...
This man sells weaponry.
He has a shrewd bartering system, and doesn't like strangers.
Which is a horrible combination.
All in all, he doesn't sell all that much.
Maybe he is here for another reason...

Serafina
...A whisper on the wind...
She sells fortunes.
A traveler, here to find new life.
She'll tell your fortune, for a price.
But be careful what you ask for...

This area used to be the Dark Temptations Bar.
When Nataliah and Avaris had their fight, the bar was destroyed,
leveled to the ground, and the city of Ismerta along with them.

Nataliah sealed Avaris inside herself, making her into a statue.
That's what is in the center of the fountain.
Nataliah, after seeing what the fight cost the world, also sealed herself into the same statue.

That way, if Avaris was ever released,
the one person who could defeat her would be released as well.

Silas and Rain, seeing what had happened, pulled the surviving people of Ismerta together.
They created a haven, and jump started the city again.
Slowly, they rebuild it.

Once my life was plain and clear...I recall...
....Once my ignorance was bliss
Nightfall came like a serpent's kiss....To my troubled mind

Binding promises were made on my soul
....Grand illusions lead astray
Ice cold winds swept my heart away....
Bring me back to you

...I remember a song....
...Like in a dream....
