You drink from the third bottle. You immediately begin to feel very weak, and you collapse to the floor. It's as if the floor isn't there. First your hands, then legs, then the rest of you is engulfed in stone. You fall through the stone for what feels like hours. Eventually you come free and drop with a plop onto the ground. You are in an immense cavern. Trees with all colors of leaves grow from the floor. Magical lanterns hanging from their branches light the cavern From the middle of the cavern you hear chanting. ''Albertis, Great God Albertis, Bringer of Light, God Of Magic, We Honor you Today on your 234th Death Day. Ever Since you Left our Home, we Want for your Knowledge and Guidance. Every Day we Grieve at your Passing, and we Hope that we have Fulfilled your Highest Ideals in the Construction of the Most Epic, Most Perfect of Monuments, that your Perfectness Could have Completed in Infinitely Less Time, the Second Spellglass Mobile! BRING FORTH THE MAGES!'' You sneak closer through the trees, and see in a clearing a circle of people dressed in unfamiliar clothes. In the middle, hanging from the ceiling, is the most beautiful piece of art you have ever seen. It looks like what the pile of glass debris in the library would have looked like if it were still up. ''Mages who have Completed Spellglass for the Mobile, Please come Forth in a Line!'' An assortment of people leave the circle, in each of their hands is a tiny shard of glass. Each takes a turn, climbing a ladder and carefully adding their contribution to the mobile. After each does, a loud cheer goes up from the crowd. You are standing in an uncomfortable position and you shift slightly. Suddenly, everyone in the circle freezes and looks in your direction. ''STRANGE CREATURE, SHOW YOURSELF'' You have no choice but to obey. You walk out of the trees and into the clearing. ''PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR AND TELL US HOW YOU GOT TO OUR SACRED REALM OR DIE!''

Land Valley is a large valley in the temperate region of Liyoland. It's biggest city is Land Valley City, housing the famous Academy. Over the hill from it is an older town, now in ruins. Further south is the Witchstaff Wood, a mostly uncharted forest. This is a risky place to enter, it is reported to house many malevolent creatures such as ghouls. East is the port town of Portton. From there the river can take you out to sea. If you head up the valley side to the north, you will get to the High Moors. From there you should be able to reach the Cloud Elve's kingdom, but none of my correspondents have been able to do it. Back to [[Academy]]

Liyoland is populated by diverse monsters. These creatures all use magic, and have varying spellcasting abilities. The term Monster implies a blood thirsty brute, but not all monsters wish you harm. They all have certain preferences and things that tick them off and you must respect their differences. Below I list several species I have discovered in my travels, and the best ways to deal with them. ''Ghoul:'' These are the creatures of darkness, lurking in caves and dark forests. They are part undead, so they enjoy consuming the flesh of other creatures. However they are not terribly determined, so if you manage to defeat at least one of them, they will most likely flee. Many ghouls will commit 2 power, but an especially strong ghoul may commit 3. ''Golem:'' A golem is a creature animated by a wizard. They take on some of the personality of their creator, and unless given orders immediately, will wander at will with no sense of good or bad. Stone golems are the strongest, able to commit around 10 power. There are also wood golems, who do around 7. And there are corn husk golems, who do around 4. ''Wyvern:'' These snakelike creatures fly high above the ground, and prey primarily on griffins with their sharp teeth and claws. Wyverns never need to land, due to their enormous wings. They have a power level of around 5. ''Hydra:'' These are the top predators of the ocean depths. They have three heads who work independently from one another, able to deliver a fierce attack. When encountered it is advisable to run, because a wizard is not in their element on the bottom of the sea. They have a power level of around 6. Back to [[Academy]]

When a wizard uses up power for different purposes, there are several ways to regain it. You cannot have more power than your max power, and your max power can be improved by experience. Every 20 power you commit, your max power goes up by 1. It only checks here, so if you are in a lot of battles it might make sense to come back here. You may acquire potions. You may use the [[Academy's Net]] to sift out power from the air. It is also rumored that certain kinds of magical creatures have the ability to bestow power to others.

//You journey through the forest. You hear a deep roaring sound off in the distance. As you near, you realize it is the sound of a feirce waterfall. All of a sudden, you hear several thumps. You are surrounded by several gnomes, leveling stalves at you!// The leader of the gnomes approaches you. What are you doing in our forest? [[I am a wizard who is lost. I mean you no harm!]] [[Get your bows away from me, you filthy little creatures!]] (set: $farclifffalls to "yes")

Alright then! We havn't had a wizard in this forest for years! As a matter of fact, we have a task you might want to do. You hear that waterfall? It's very feirce. Years ago, we stored a collection of treasure on an island in the middle of the river. There must have been a dam broken up stream or somthing, because the river swept the bridge away, and we can't get a decent rope across to build a new one! If you can use your power to jump across with the rope, we'll give you a cut of the treasure. We estimate that it will be about 4 power, but we're not exactly sure. If you don't think your up for it, I'll show you the way out of [[Witchstaff Wood]]. (if: $beentognomes is "no")[ Or, you can help us out and [[Fight]] the water!] (set: $enemypower to (either:3,4,5)) (set:$returnto to [[Beat the River]])

Magic can be used for many diverse things, such as attacking enemies or repairing broken items. Wizards use the Power system to calculate who would win in a duel, or if you are capable of doing a task. Each wizard has a certain number of power they can hold, which can be improved. You can use up to how much power you have to do magic. The land is a very large place, and even a wizard can become easily lost and cannot find their way back to a place they have been before. A recommended strategy is making a map, and writing down which route you have used. You may also like to write down deals with folk, locks to which you have no key, and other things that you might want to come back later to. In your exploration, if you become stuck, a good strategy is to see if you have overlooked anything. [[Academy]]

You manage to jump across! The gnomes quickly get up a small rope brige. They give you your cut of the treasure, wich is 7 gold, and a magic autum olive wich improves your max power by 1!

//You leave the town and head down an old road over the hill to the ruined town. A local kid comes up to you.// Hey, I'll show you around for 1 gold! The walls are still up so you won't get in without my shortcut! [[Alright!]] No thanks, head back to [[City]]

(if: $gold is > 0)[(set: $gold to ($gold - 1)) Great! The walls are over 30 feet high, but I found a spot where there is a fallen pine you can climb to get over. Lets go! [[Climb the walls]]] (if: $gold is < 1)[You don't have enough money.] Back to [[City]]

//It takes some effort, but eventually you are both on top of the walls. From the outside, you wonder why anyone would abandon this well-built town. Once you see what's inside the walls, you get why. This place had been torched, with some kind of magical fire that twisted even stone. There were no buildings still standing, except an ornate domed building in the center of the town.// This is the old town, the City where your from is the replacement. You see the still standing building in the middle? That's the library. It has some sort of magical protection on it, I can't even smash the windows with stones. [[What happened to this place?]] [[Investigate the library]]

This place got attacked a while back. No-one knows the full story, not many people pay attention to it. It used to be a mostly wizard town, with the library at it's center. The new town was built after by the survivors, and the academy in it seems to be some sort of imitation of the old academy, but much lesser. Whoever attacked left the walls up to discourage investigation. Speaking of investigation, apparently there was someone called Caldis who tried to puzzle it out, but the story goes they died in Witchstaff Wood. It would have been nice to know their secrets! //Your guide points to some of the scortched rock.// This town was mostly stone, but somehow it got magically burned. Whoever destroyed it put an insane amount of effort to oblidorate it. Trying to destroy some sort of secret, most likely. But they somehow didn't have enough power to destroy the library. It's getting dark, and I don't like to stay here at night. You can here footsteps on the stone, pacing around the library. Thanks for going on my tour! Lets go back to the [[City]].

//You go to the library. You peer in through the windows, but it is so dark in there all you can make out are a few shapes that might be bookshelves. You go around the library, and all you find are a few statues of hooded warriors with giant swords. You walk up the steps to the giant door. It's locked securely. Above the door writen in stately letters is ''Archmage Albertis's Library, Entry by Oppointment Only or RIP YOU''. You wonder who would have that last part carved in stone!// (if: $ruinskey is "no")[You don't have the key. You wonder where you could get it... Your guide points to the way back, and talks to you.

//The library is not large. It's stone floor echoes when your feet hit it. There is no dust in this building. It's as if everything is frozen in time. The floor is decorated with intricate geometric patterns of precious stones. Off to one side of the room, there are large bookshelves that go up almost to the roof! In the other side of the room is a big imposing door that says ''Archmage Albertis's Office''. There is also a giant pile of glass debris in one corner. It looks like some sort of delicate item that was broken.// Investigate the [[Office]] Check out the giant pile of [[glass debris]] Head back to the [[City]]

//You walk through the trees for a long while on a small path. The trees get bigger and bigger and older and older as you go along. Eventually you get to a large clearing, however the trees surrounding it are so big they stop most of the sunlight getting in. In the middle of the clearing is a decent sized manor, with peeling paint and rotting boards.// You walk up to the door, careful not to step on the heavily rotting boards. [[Knock on the Door]] (set: $mabbitmanor to "yes")

//You knock on the door. You wait a little while and then hear soft thumping coming towards you. A tiny window opens in the door, and you see a tiny rabbit face with red eyes staring back at you.// You have reached Mabbit Manor. I am Finnigan, head of the Mabbits. What do ya want or go away! I am just exploring in the woods and I stumbled across this place, can I [[Come in]]? Uhhhhhhh... I'll just [[Go Away]], this place creeps me out.

//Finnigan opens the door and you enter.// Alright! You can check stuff out in here but before you do I want to tell you a little bit about us Mabbits and about Mabbit Manor. A long time ago, we lived in a town up by the crossroads. It was a big magic town and had 30 foot walls! There was an Archmage running the town, and for some reason he decided to torch the town with magic fire that could even burn stone! We were all hutch rabbits back then, but he saved us from the fire to try a curse on us. It turned us into Were Rabbits. Sunlight poisons us. The curse also has a side effect of giving us human intelligence and speach. We were let into the woods, and eventually found this manor and took it over. It used to be completely haunted, and now it is only partially haunted; we never go higher than the first floor. There used to be some human wizards here. If you want to check out the second floor, you can keep any stuff you find, we think it's only fair since your a wizard so we couldn't do anything with the wizard stuff. Go to the [[Second Floor]] I would rather [[Go Away]]

You stumble through the forest until you get to farmfeilds. You follow the road to a town, and a sign says Welcome to [[Portton]].

You climb the dusty stairs to the second floor. It is abandoned, but the items here make you pause. There are lamps you know only work with magic, a chest of drawers filled with scrying stones, and packs of magical cards. This must have been the retreat of a very wealthy wizard. On once side, you see a staircase leading to the [[Attic]] There is also a [[small door]] that says ''Do not open!'' There is also a [[Big Door]] that leads to a room labled ''Storage'' [[Back to the first floor]]

//You climb the stairs to the attic. It is small, only one room, and there are small windows overlooking the forest. The room looks like somebody's base! There are cans of food stacked neatly along the walls. There is a small collection of weapons in a large box: Knives, shortswords, and bows. There is ink and quills on one desk, scattered with papers. One is titled// [[Explorer's Findings]]. //On the floor there is a charred and mangled skeleton, which you avert your eyes from.// Back to [[Second Floor]]

//You read the paper.// I have long been looking into what caused the destruction of the old town. I was just little then, then one day fire that could melt stone sprung up. I barely escaped by jumping over the wall, breaking my leg in the process. The survivors have established a new village on the other side of the hill, with the same focus on magic, and an Academy of magics. However, we cannot begin to be at the same level of the old one, without Archmage Albertis. I wonder where he is now. We assume he could have survived the magical fire, being that his library was the only standing building. But none of us can find him. I have dedicated my life to trying to find the source of the fire, based in this old abandoned house where no one will bother me. I haven't found out much about the fire, but a decent amount about Albertis, rumors though they may be. Some say he had a ship that sailed down the river, and sunk far away. Others report a giant city built into an island mountain. I haven't been able to verify any of these claims. The first step would be to get into that stupid library. It's shut and protected by some sort of spell. I would imagine Albertis would have a key. His chief scribe was a cloud elf, and I would imagine she would have a key as well, but the cloud elves are stingy people, and I don't think they would like strangers prying into their secrets. That's it for now. I hear a loud knocking at the door. I wonder who it is? - //Caldis// Back to [[Second Floor]]

//The barge takes you above the shipwreck. It looks very large, but you can't make out too many details.// The barge capitain tells you about the shipwreck. A long time ago, maybe hundreds of years, this boat came down the river. Suddenly, it sunk, just like that! And that's how the story goes, not much to it. We all wonder what could have sunk it.

//You blast the door open. Inside the capitain's room it is very dark. There is not all that much stuff in it for a capitain's room.

//In the drawers is a book called Ship's Logbook. It seems to have waterproof pages You open it and read it.// //Day 1//- I have cached this boat and had my servants dragging it down a ditch all night. Now that we have reached the river, we might sail unhindered to my new life out to sea. I had to take a quick detour to Witchstaff Wood to kill a sneaky little runt called Caldis, but then we were on our way. I slightly regret how much I left in the old Library in my old town, it might be possible for someone who entered to intrude on my new life. But no one will be able to enter without a key, and I destroyed mine yesterday. This new town will be better. The old was much like a normal town, with people coming and going. This caused bad influences from savages outside like Cloud Elves and provoked them to attempt to glean some of my magical secrets, and in doing so destroyed my life's work, and thus I had to kill them and burn the town. This new town will be much much better, a lush prison for all of the inhabitants, to provide me with food and resources for my magical research. //Day 2//- It seems like we have trouble on our hands. The local militia has spotted the ship and are in pursuit because I neglected to purchase one of those silly boat permits. I am forced to sink this ship with several valuable resources on board, and escape to my new island in the submarine. - //Albertis// Back to [[Capitain's Room]]

In the chest you find a sample of the rare Merweed! You know that many collectors would pay a large sum for such a valuable specimin. You put it in your pocket. (set: $merweed to "yes") Back to [[Capitain's Room]]

//Inside the crates is a large collection of random stuff. You find sheepskins, mouldy and slimy from the ocean depths. There are kegs of beer, and seed packets of every imaginable variety.

//In the office is a large desk. On it is a paper titled ''Betrayal'' You read the paper:// Fools! Fools! All of them! They did it! They broke the most magical object in the whole universe, the Spellglass Mobile, the most perfect combination of every spell balanced perfectly in harmony with each other, the one perfect object in the universe, my life's work! Ruined! It seems that early this morning some junior scribes snuck in here while I was still sleeping and removed one single spell from the mobile! I had told them not to! They said look, look, it's fine! It's still balanced! But they were wrong. After several minutes, the unbalance became apparent, and it slowly tipped, more and more, until it fell to the floor and broke with a sickening crash. I killed them then and there. I might have been hard on them before, setting up this village so I could work on this massive project in peace. But they wanted more. They wanted a share of my magic. But they didn't deserve it, these idiots. They tried to steal it and look where they ended up, dead! I was so angry I wanted to destroy all memory of this place. I summoned stone fire and burned it down to the ground. I will soon depart to a new land, where bad influences will be flushed out and I will have all the power. A thing that worries me is that someone might be able to enter using a shard of the Spellglass Mobile, embedded with my magical signature as it might be. But soon I will lock this library and destroy my key, and no one will be able to enter ever again. - //Albertis// Back to [[Library]]

//You go over to the glass pile of debris. As you look closer, you notice it is made up of thousands of tiny shards of multicolored glass, strung together with some sort of miniature wire. You see a metal hook far up above on the ceiling. You realize it must have been some sort of mobile, but what caused it to fall you have no idea. You notice a strong magical sense coming from it, but it seems off some how.// [[Take a shard out of the debris]] Back to the main area of the [[Library]]

//You remove a tiny shard out of the debris and marvel at it's beauty. You pocket it.// (set: $shard to "yes") Back to [[Library]]

//You touch the shard to the door. It slowly shudders, and then opens. Behind it is a dark corridor that leads off into the gloom. As you head down it, the door shuts behind you. Immediately, magical lanters spring to life along the corridor. It leads you to a small room. In the room there are three bottles, each with a sentance writen on them.// Bottle 1 says: Fools of ferocity are formally known as idiots. Bottle 2 says: Ferocity is the best tool against Formidable Fools. Bottle 3 says: Fools can be Ferocious. A sign says:''Drink from the bottle that always tells the truth and you shall be admited to the New Settlement of Archmage Albertis. We don't want any idiots this is the reason for the test.'' Which bottle do you drink from? [[Bottle 1]] [[Bottle 2]] [[Bottle 3]]

You manage to defeat the mages. In your haste, you smash the mobile from the ceiling. It careens down onto you and impales you with a thousand tiny shards. You die. If you really, really want to, you can use the turn back time spell to go back to when you were exploring the [[island]]

//You tell Albertis's followers about all you have found, and show them the shard as proof.// You realize that they must have been the decendents of the settlers for Albertis's new town, trapped in this cavern for hundreds of years. Suddenly, there is a loud crunching sound coming from the outside wall. As you watch, a huge grey shape comes out of the tree. A stone golem! ''I Have Been Awakened! Albertis Built Me to Destroy Outsiders and Their Bad Influences. Those Who Talk of the Outside Must Die!'' The only choice is to [[Fight]]!
