The Pathway to Adventure{200}
========================
{300}
The Pathway to Adventure is the place where new characters can learn the way of
the game, and the Mud20 system. In the course offered here, you will learn the
game basics, try your first melee, your first skills, your first spells, and
ultimately complete your first level and be ready to embark upon adventure.

If you are a new player to this MUD, the best advice to be given is: take your
time. The Mud20 system is not paced like most MUDs, and there is far more to
the game system than leveling up. And gaining a level is an accomplishment.
Pay attention to your teachers, and you will have a good grasp of making it in
the realms that await you at the end of this journey.

caravan foreman~
the caravan foreman~
{038}The foreman of the caravan is here, directing the teamsters.~
{038}He is a road-worn, aged man, his face crinkled and haggard from the years
of rough riding with the sun and sand in his face. But his presence is one of
authority and command. He wields a large falchion at his belt, and it's best
to assume he really does know how to use it.

{038}The dusty trail travels along the trade route toward your destination,
taking you from the place you left to embark upon a career of adventure. While
the pack animals and livestock are watered and fed, merchants and passengers
wander about and stretch their legs in anticipation of the next leg of their
journey. The caravan is heavily guarded, and there's a strong feeling of safety
and peace around the campsite.

Outside the caravan wagons~
{138}The sands beside the road stir in the winds, and the line of wagons on either
side of the beaten pathway are the sole shelter in this vast expanse. The
merchants and vagrants mill about as the guards make certain no one gets out
of line. Most of the carts and wagons are simple, some weatherbeaten and
cabbled together. Others stand out, like the {118}ornat{138}ely {128}decora{138}ted {158}wagon {138}parked
on the eastern edge of the wagon train.

A merchant wagon~
{108}Various wares are lashed upon racks and shelves in this wagon. Boxes and cases
are tightly packed, leaving little room to move inside. Nonetheless, it houses
the broad-armed blacksmith, set on plying his wares at his destination.

A flamboyant gypsy wagon~
{138}As you step inside the curtain of this ornately decorated wagon you note the
elaborate {018}brocade lined {138}ceiling which arches above your head, All round you
note the finely polished wooden cabinetry which has delicately carved patterns
of flowers, {058}fruit and {128}ivy, {138}some of which is expertly painted or richly touched
with gold leaf. Tucked away at the far end of the wagon is a loft bed, draped
with a curtain and accessible only by the small ladder. A tiny table is set
with a simple lantern , a bottle or two of wine and a pair of well used chairs.
Hanging about you note some fine hand sewn silk garments and accessories a few
pouches and other bric a brac.

A merchant wagon~
{108}The scent of hides and tanning brine belie this as a tanner's wagon. Hides and
leather clothing in various stages are hung about the sides of the wagon.
Curled up on the floor of the wagon, a large canine, looking more wild than
tame, sleeps as the caravan is at rest.

Outside a pallisade gate~
{138}To the north of the implied trail in the desert sands, there is a wooden
pallisade around a small encampment. The nomadic village has sprung up around a
small oasis. This is perhaps the last trace of civilazation before you reach
your destination.

altar crested by a crudely hewn ray-encircled sun.
