Player: hi
Olm: Greetings, {traveller}.
Player: traveller
Olm: Perhaps you want to learn a bit more about the city of {Rathleton} or you are looking for a fast {transport} to the city? Feel free to ask whatever comes to your mind.
Player: Rathleton
Olm: Our city was for a long time shut off from the rest of the world by a deep {mist} that made it impossible to pass through the storm-plagued reefs, that surround the isle. ...
Olm: Only recently we established contact to the outside world and where surprised how {different} things are handled out there.
Player: mist
Olm: The mist is a strange phenomenon that seems to have ebbed and waned since people can remember. When the first foreigners arrived here they did not mention the mist at all, so it might have not been around in that time. ...
Olm: But later tries to leave the isle where met with disaster and eventually no one bothered to try. When the mist arises it usually lasts for decades if not centuries. If it vanishes, it is gone for about the same time. ...
Olm: Since the mists only recently retreated we hope to have at least a few decades to have contact to the rest of the world.
Player: different
Olm: The economy of our {city} is based on a rare substance called {glooth}. It's produced by the gloothworms and can be influenced by {lightning} to change it's structure.
Player: city
Olm: Would you like to learn more about the city's {layout}, our {government} or our {economy}?
Player: layout
Olm: In down town you'll find the factories, living quarters and the like, whereas the magistrate, the shops and some of the more expensive houses are found in uptown on the hill. I've marked a few points of interest on your map.
Player: government
Olm: We have no kings or the like. The {magistrate} runs the city according to the {will} of the people.
Player: magistrate
Olm: The magistrate oversees the ruling of the city. Of course only following the {will} of the people.
Player: will
Olm: All citizens may vote on what should be done. The number of votes a person may spend is dependent on the contribution of that person to the city's prosperity. ...
Olm: There are several issues to vote upon and even outsiders like you can with some {contribution} earn voting rights.
Player: contribution
Olm: There are several things that can be done to enhance the welfare of the city. Just walk around and have a look. You should find a plenty of opportunities to improve your standing with the city and earn votes.
Player: economy
Olm: Natural resources are quite rare and precious here but we have one thing that distinguishes us from everywhere else and that's the gloothworms. ...
Olm: They are tiny creatures that constantly produce a slimy substance that we call {glooth}. Glooth is the raw material on which many of our crafts depend upon.
Player: glooth
Olm: The glooth is an extremely useful discovery that changed everything for us. ...
Olm: With all the possibilities to shape and use the glooth it made possible to free resources for other projects and it provided us with a constant and stable supply of material and energy. ...
Olm: When treated with {lightning}, the glooth changes its properties drastically and permanent.
Player: lightning
Olm: Somehow lightning influences the way the glooth can be used. If you apply a certain degree of lightning energy to the glooth it becomes an entirely different substance after all. ...
Olm: It can be made to an elastic substance that can be given a variety of shapes in it's creation process. ...
Olm: It can become hard like metal or even different states of liquidity in which it behaves totally different and can be used as fuel for fires, grease machine parts or even as nutrition. ...
Olm: We found many uses for the glooth and yet still ingenious inventors come up with new shapes and new uses every now and then.
Player: transport
Olm: The best and actually the only way to reach the city is the {slooth} over there. It connects this isle with a {glooth}-powered slide system with the city. ...
Olm: There are several side tunnel and its hard to catch the right one on that speed. It might take a while until you got the knack to lead your slide right into the middle of the city but the others should bring you close enough.
