The Islands of Dilmun
22-04-2004, 04:53
An ad plays on major networks around the world.
"The Pacific... the largest body of water on Earth. Hunderds of thousands of islands interspersed throughout. One of these small island groupings is called Dilmun. The land where the Sun sets. To the extreme west of it's region, it's exact position is not listed anywhere, but it is the western most grouping of large islands, so no one seems to bother to list it's exact location.
"Technically, it is four islands, but one is split into three provinces, connected by small strips of land. The Isle of the Sun, Forlorn and Quag. The islands all sport their own interesting styles...
"King's Island sports the remanents of two rival kingdoms and holds 80% of the saurian population. For years, these great beasts, commonly known as dragons, have rulled the sky over Dilmun.
"The Isle of the Sun is home to the capital, Phoebus, and the greatest amount of 'sun' magic in the region. The Temple of the Sun is among the greatest attractions on the island. It holds the largest amount of gold in the nation and displays it in the walls, ceiling and even the floors.
"The island of Rustic is for wilderness lovers. Almost completely untouched save for villages here and there about it, the island holds mysteries even we cannot solve." Fine print at the bottom reads: Travel to Rustic requires the signing of wavers releasing Dilmun from responsibility for your safety.
"Quag holds the city of Mud Toad, which sits on a swampy area of the island. The city is where the greatest amount of mages come from, though they don't stick around long...
"Finally there is Forlorn. It holds the city of Purgatory and the Ruins of Tars, commonly known as Ruins. This island is the only one we advise you NOT to go to. The name of the island and the cities should be warning wenough, but we want to make sure you understand."
The video switches to a man sitting in an easy chair. "I am happy to extend an invitation to each of you and your nations to visit Dilmun. The land where the Sun sets."
