My favorite place in the whole game. When I was starting out, I was tasked with defending this place against an army. Very few people came to my aid at first, but we managed to hold them off long enough for reinforcements to arrive. In the ensuing battle, I died many times (n00b? yep!). After the battle, and when my allies had begun their exodus to chase down the retreating enemy, I stayed behind. Standing on one of the landing platforms, I watched the sun set and dusk descend on the dusty plains far below. The last of the bodies from the battle were fading out just as the stars began winking on above. It was beautiful in a way I'd never seen in a game before.

That's why I came to read this article-- to see this place again without having to reinstall and boot up a game I quit long ago. That's also why I rewrote the article...This place deserved better than the lot it got on this wiki, and it deserves better than I've given it. It's a beautiful place. If you can travel there for five minutes without a war going on around you, turn on the piano piece called "Clair de Lune" and look around. You'll most like appreciate the beauty of it all the same way I got to.
