If you have thought of Worlds of Carnage as a second home (rl escape?), then I am sure you have 'been there, done that' all over the lands. We may hurry around, mindlessly leveling. But I wonder how many take the time just to be fascinated by the room descriptions. A lot of thought and imagination that has gone into them throughout the realms.

Take just the city of Cythera for example. Sure, most of us know it by heart, but I (well my character has) walked within its walls and begun to take notice of the rich and colorful narratives and scene-setters.

At the risk of boring the hell out of everyone, I have amassed a few random tidbits that particularly caught my eye as I sped around (at the rate of one level per 10 char years) town. Tribute is worthy
of the authors. Enjoy or flame on
