Greetings,

Many people have come to me who were confounded by
the layout of the Misty Isles. Swimming through the
seas takes an impressive amount of navigation
but there are quicker ways for those of us who wish
to stay dry while shopping or going to the Arena. To
the east of the approach to Ashtan, there's an
obelisk with a portal at the bottom of it. Simply
enter the obelisk, and you will be taken to its
match on the Isle of Tides. From there, you can
go out to visit the bank, post office, blacksmith,
and the like.

If you want to go shopping at one of our many fine
stores, however, all you need to do is go northeast
from the original obelisk, and enter the one you
find in front of you. This will take you to the
eastern side of the Isle of Dusk. If you follow the
roads to the west, you will soon get to our center
market, and if you travel a bit further you can shop
by our docks.

And finally, to the northwest of the original obelisk
is another leading to our arena. For a long time the
only way to access it was by the ferry but now there
is quick transport to the best priced, and most
exotic arena around. Travel through the deep
jungles in search of your prey, all for a low price.

I hope that clears up some confusion and there is
a sign posted by the approach to Ashtan for future
reference. I hope more of you take advantage of
these portals, and visit the Misty Isles.

For Ashtan,
