........The above is a map of the known world. There are multipule islands that make up the above region as you can tell. It takes you 1 day to travel across one square of land on foot. To travel across the water you have to catch a ferry from one of the port cities or purchase a boat and use it to transverse the water. It takes a one half a day to travel across one square of water. To get info about each square, click on the qrid square that you want to find out info about. You will be able to find out the name of any cities that are in that sqaure, shops in the cities, and any spots of intrest that have been found in the square. I will also put the names of the characters that are in that square. Any character can search any square that they what, a search is a 1d20+the intelligence mods of all the people involved in the search, if you roll high enough I or Gary will tell you if you have found anything. If you find something if becomes avalible on the map, but the group that finds it gets first dibs on exploreing. Regardless everyone involved with the search will be charged with a spar. To search, email Mike at his personal email address, which can be found on the contacts page, and tell his the square and the names of the people that are involved in the search. EVERYONE THAT SEARCHES MUST BE IN THE SQUARE THAT IS BEING SEARCHED. After conferming that everyone is in the square I will roll and reply to all that are searching and tell them a time to be on, if something is found. Along with what was found I will give a Encounter Level, EL, of the find. The EL gives the average level of the characters that this quest would be kinda challanging for. After more people join the rpg I will start to open up the unsettled land for people to explore and make safe for an establishment.

The World

........This is a description of how the world that your characters live in works. First and most important is the day. The time goes according to Eastern Standard Time. This is very important because if times are posted they will be posted in EST. I have put a clock on the frame that has EST on it. The year lasts for 260 days and is broken up into four seasons; Summer lasts for 80 days, fall lasts for 60 days, winter lasts for 50 days and spring lasts for 70 days. To make it easy to keep track I will post under the clock what day it is by saying what day it is in what season. I will also post right under the date what the weather will be of the whole day. Weather has small affects during battle. They wont be huge but they add another aspect to the game. Here is a chart about the three types of weather and what they do.

The Weather

Type of Weather	Status Changes
Sunny	Everything stays the same. There are no status changes during sunny weather.
Rainy	When its rainy you only have 2/3 your speed (rounded up), you get +3 to your AC, and your ranged weapons only go 2/3 as far.(rounded up) The reason that you get +3 to your AC is because it is harded to hit someone when there vision is obstructed by rain.
Snow	It always snows at night (and if your someone thats on when its nighttime in the world just go along with it) so you are never stuck in a snow storm, unless other wise stated. When there is snow on the ground your speed is reduced by half and your get -5 to your AC.
