Welcome to my path-house.  If you wish to go on any of these roads, let me give you some directions.  
 
    You will find a small fortress called the Mercenary Knights Lair about 10 miles North on Merk road.  I heard a few years back from a deserter of that fortress that they trained hard learning how to use the ancient weapons: swords and such.  He also mumbled something about them studying the "Final Fantasy" story.
    Following Yorn road south a few miles you should see a small temple called the Bloody Glass Shrine.  You should be particularly careful here, for legend has it that the priests in that innocent-looking chapel worship demons and have a tendency to rant about their knowledge of the "Vampire".
    A few miles East on Layne's Road is The Gallery, a sort of country house where the nobles go to enjoy a collection of music and paintings and such.  I hear that they have quite a collection of songs there.
    Well since you come from the west, then I guess you already saw the bar called Nostalgia. You didn't enter it, you say?  Oh, well let me explain what it is more precisely.  It is a tavern in which people go to talk to each other about the ancient hobby called "video games".  I personally have no idea what that means, but I hear they have something to do with two specific game series, one called Castlevania and the other was the Final Fantasy series.
 
    By the way, if you wish to leave a message in the message-board, someone may have answered it by the time you come back.  Also, would you care to sign my guestbook or just view it?
