The Wastelands are located just outside of Black Death, passed the boarder leading to the Earth Way Station. The Wastelands are where all Earth Enhabitants live. When you arrive here there are no domes, no barriers, just rocky spiked hilles that emerge high over our watery surface. This is the place that the Elementals made for all species to be able to co-exsist and dwell out of the water. Mer and other such water species such as fish, dolphins etc live at the shores. But few of us ever visit those ereas. So enthralled are we to be able to walk and run on real earth, we have little time to look out over the ocean that takes up 90% of the Earth's surface now. Well my friend we have done alot of traveling. Let us stop here, and I'll show you the town.

Ah here we are! If you will follow me. Mind the street urchants will you, they have no where else to rest their heads.....Oh here we go. You see that iron figure there atop this Tavern? Yes that one. This is Masters Of Darkness, a tavern to eat, drink, sleep, or find a doctor. That iron figure there is a blessing to the eyes, or a nightmare. You see he smiles pleasantly promising hospitality to all that enter, but you notice the club in his hand. That is the night mare. Here all is fair game. Fair Game meaning you can be prey or preditor. You pick which one, or some one will for you! As a matter of fact, we do have some law enforcement here. Notice the Soldier with the machine gun across the street keeping watch. The police jet with a beam scanning the streets and buildings over head. Well they do help. But their only job is to keep peace, even if that means to take a life. They are judge and jury so to speak. So no one ever bothers to call apon them. Usually running is what happens when they get involved. Oh yes, fair game.....well. Just watch your back, and look mean and you might survive. Everything is free here at the tavern except sex! No, no I kid you to much! They do have to make a profit so you turn in your meal ticket, and beverage card early on in the week. This they turn into the embassy who supplies them with our food and drinks. Just a way to keep us happy. No card, no food or drinks. You get it now? Oh how do you get a card, well you buy one of course. It isn't worth much. But you could die trying to get the money to buy it! 

Well Master Darkness, this town within the Wastelands has several shops to trade, pawn or buy what you need. There's the Grand Plaza Hotel, but I wouldn't suggest renting a room. It's $36 a night, and you get to sleep with rodents of all kinds of shapes and sizes, the sewage doesn't work, neither does the heat, water, and forget about air conditioning! Anyway, down the street is a clinic if you get sick or hurt, it's called "Cross." Let see....oh and buy a map. You'll need it. We have designated territories with gangs. Or some of them call themselves groups. It's all the same to me. You don't want to go wandering in to their part of town without permission or knowing someone. You won't come out if you know what I mean. People dissappear all the time around here. Hate to see such a young one like you go....
Oh and lastly if you look up there, thats the "Cage." If you find yourself in a scuffle with someone or you want to get even, you take your problems to the cage. Thats how we avoid involving the law. Take them to the cage, jump on a disk, kinda like the one we where on but big as half a foot ball feild and fight it out. What's a football field.....? You seriouse...? Hmm never mind, it's just big. Anyway you get a cash reward for killing or beating your opponent. Death and Mercy are up to the Duel or Spar Masters. I don't suggest you challenge either one of those either. They get real mean! Ahh heh heh heeh! Duel's are to the death, spars are until someone gives up, taps out, passes out, or is knocked out! But its good money when you need it.
Well that concludes the tour. My names Tip by the way, if you care. I own the shop next to the Tavern. I got drugs, hores, sex toys, weapons, or anything you can think of to buy. No no....you see there I go again pulling your leg. No I deal with merchandise that doesn't walk or speak, but can give you satisfaction or pleasure if your into it. Let me know when you get some money. I'm no charity and I don't trade stuff for other things. Keep that in mind too! But perhaps I can help you get that commadities ticket....Come on by.
