Welcome to the Beautiful World! My name is Mynsc, and I'm here to provide a warm place for travelers at the end or beginning of their journeys. You say you're looking for Baldous Gates? Well, you've come to the right whereabouts, but you'll have to go a bit further. Before that, why don't you take a breather? You look like you've traveled far and could use a bit of rest. Have a seat at the bar and tell me your story...

...that is quite the tale! I never knew such a land existed. To have journeyed through such a strange portal, you must be intent upon finding Baldous. Well, I'm glad to tell you the rest of your journey to his abode will be, uh, I guess you could say sedate. I would guess that the poem you read is a little outdated. Allow me to explain.

In the old days, the Realm of Fortuna was full of fiends and dragons, dangers unseen and wonders untold. Having had my share of quests and questings, I can tell you I miss the rough-hewn countenance of mortality, harrowing as those encounters may have been. Now, every face I see is as smooth and glassy as the fake jewels we used to find at the end of easy corridors. What changed, you ask? Well, it's simple really. It all started with some wizards and their dreams...

...and that's how everything became *endungified* and all adventures and adventurings came to an end. Ah, I see that you fell asleep during my story. Do not worry, I understand the weariness that comes with the road. I can sometimes go off on tangents, so I'll try to focus on what you want to know. Baldous Gates lives in the Lonely Mountains up north. The way there used to be challenging and treacherous, an adventure filled with magic and mystery. Now, you can just take the Unicart Express straight to the base of those majestic peaks. It'll only cost you one million gold plus fees and such.

You only have 100 thousand gold, you say? That is no matter whatsoever. Let's get you the gold you'll need by doing a little investing. Have you heard of the Magic Market? It's where you can buy and sell companies of the Realm and earn some gold. Here's my PortaPortal. Take it with you, and stay here for a spell. Let's see how much gold you can make in 25 days.

Would you like to learn more about how the Realm has been endungified or try investing in the Magic Market? You can also skip the Magic Market experience and try another route to find Baldous.
