You, however, have the spirit of adventure and an inquisitive mind and believe otherwise. Recently tho things weren’t so easy going and without problems, there were isolated instances of strange creatures milling around and stealing food and sometimes even daring to enter the city and make off with some of it’s inhabitants! Now you decide to make the unknown voyage out of your realm and see for yourself weather all that exists lies within your cavernous home…
