12.2.3 Gheladan
(See also: HELP LODI, HELP MINIA, HELP NEWBIE QUESTS) Like Minia and Lodi, Mount Gheladan is a place for young adventurers levels 20 and under(*) to quest and hunt. It is a land where two species of ratlike beings live at odds with one another. The Nilari, a peaceful race, look for aid against the Murinae, their more violent kin. The Murinae also willingly accept aid in handling the Nilari, with more nefarious goals in mind. Further up the mountain, deep within a series of caverns, a hive of giant bees and a nest of large hornets do battle with one another to fight for living space. Both species wish to destroy the other and seek dominance. Sibling dragons in Minia, Lodi, and Gheladan will transport newbies (only) between the three areas. IN MINIA: Find the dragon Auma (NE from the archway to Minia) and say, "Take me to Lodi please." or "Take me to Gheladan please." IN LODI: Find the dragon Poraeus at the entrance to Lodi and say, "Take me to Minia please." or "Take me to Gheladan please." IN GHELADAN: Find the dragon Lasuna at the entrance to Gheladan and say, "Take me to Minia please." or "Take me to Lodi please." Newbies within Gheladan are protected from attacks from higher level adventurers. Those forbidden from entering Mount Gheladan will be quickly ejected by Lasuna, who guards her newbies carefully. If you don't know your way to Gheladan by foot, and if you have use of the PORTALS ability (only for people under level 21. Type SHOW PORTALS to see if you have any portal trips left), you may go EAST, then SOUTHEAST from the location that PORTALS takes you to. (*) Not all those who are level 20 or under may enter Lodi, Minia, Gheladan, or any other area restricted to newbies. Those who are sufficiently infamous may not enter (see HELP INFAMY). Neither may those who have ever been offered the chance to embrace class (see HELP EMBRACING). Nor those who have exceeded three hundred days within the realms.
