GreetingsHeyHo dear reader! Padorn, the capital of the world, is an exciting city full of life. If you want to enhance your cultural background, accuse someone for a crime or just go shopping and have a good time you are at the right place. This brochure will try to give you a short overview on some highlights you shouldn't miss. Padorn is waiting for you!
History ::top Even in ancient times Padorn was the leading trading centre of the world. Historians believe that the main reason for its rise was because it was situated at the crossing of three major roads and because it has a big harbour, with ships sailing to nearly the whole world. But most of the history of Padorn is a mystery. Two hundred and thirty-four years ago, a terrible disaster struck Padorn : the whole city burned down to the ground. It was never understood why this happened, since very few people survived the fire. And they were more concerned with surviving than with writing down their experiences... But with an enourmous effort and a lot of outside help, the city was rebuilt. This time the builders didn't want to take any risks : most of the city was made out of solid stone and surrounded by a strong citywall. Since then, the city developed in peace and got even richer than before. And there was never again a fire in Padorn. (except once when an angered mage burned down the house where he suspected to be the thieves guild....) Sightseeing in Padorn ::top There is much to explore in Padorn, so the following list can only give you some ideas as to where to start your visit. You'll surely find some new, interesing places every time you visit again. You'll find the Baths on the East Road. The Library is situated on the Tenaos Avenue. It is open daily from 7am till midnight, but it is closed on the Day of Spirituality. The museum is situated in Razza-Ave. Opening-hours are 8am to 22pm. All fearless competitors will gain eternal fame and the winner also a large amount of money. Don't miss this event, and maybe even try to take part yourself. The townhall can be found south of the marketplace. Shopping ::top
Padorn is the ideal place to get the ultimate shopping experience!
You can buy nearly everything here and the following list will
only show some of the highlights:
Food and Accomodation ::top
So you travelled through the city the whole day - and before you realize
it, the night falls. And you are quite hungry and need a bed to sleep.
Of course in Padorn these needs can be satisfied, too.
Law and Order in Padorn ::top There are strict laws in Padorn: Nobody is allowed to own drugs or stolen items. Furthermore murderers and thieves will be punished severely (if they get caught). To enforce theses laws there are strong guards at the city-gates, which will eventually check your items (and confiscate them if they are illegal). They also try to prvent outlaws from entering the city. If you are witness of a crime you can head to the world-famous court-house of Padorn (Main Road) and accuse the preceptor of the crime. The judge (a mortal, who is elected by all inhabitants of the world) will then start a trial and hopefully sentence the criminal. If needed the sentences of the judge are enforced by the mighty fighters of the Satai guild. And the victims may be ressurected by the friendly clerics of Rokoon.
But ever through these measures there are still some crimes
happening in Padorn, many of them being committed by the members
of the Pickpocket guild. There are some rumors that they still have
their headquarters somewhere in Padorn, but they never could be
found. So the best advice for you is to be careful and always to
watch your belongings.
Getting there and away ::top Daily hundreds of merchants and adventurers visit Padorn. Some come from the south, from the beautiful forest of Elohim, the home of the elven race. Others come from the west, the way to the mountains, where you can find the home-caves of the dwarves and some unknown powers. And there is of course the costal road with it's scenic views leading to the grasslands, home of the mighty centaurs. All of these roads are secure and provide you a comfortable travel. The other way to reach Padorn is the take one of the many ship-lines which stop at the harbour. This is a very convinient way to travel, since you can relax or hold your nose in the stiff breeze. From Padorn you can reach continents as distant as Atlantis, Dune, Tortoise and even the island of Clouds without having to change the ship! And for the service offered the fares are extremely low.
