- Welcome to Rampart! A guidebook of the Rampart Tourist Association.
-
- Rampart is the sole city in this area of LOCUS, a bastion which the
- wild forces of both Law and Chaos cannot breach. Within the town there
- is a truce between the followers of Law and Chaos which is hardly ever
- broken.
-
- The visitor to Rampart will enjoy a wide range of divertissements,
- from shopping at Rampart's diverse assortment of shops, to attending
- games at the Rampart Coliseum, to a relaxing picnic at the Botanical
- Gardens. Distinguished visitors may apply for an audience with the
- Duke, who is said to be the greatest courtier on LOCUS. Others spend
- their nights (and days) gambling at the Rampart Casino.
-
- The traveller who intends a longer stay in Rampart should check out the
- various guilds, societies, and clubs which protect and employ almost
- all the citizenry. The Commandant of the Mercenary Guild is always
- hiring, just for example. Many travellers are attracted to the
- Collegium Magii -- scholarships are available to the qualified.
-
- A few cautions should be offered to the unwary. Rampart's sewer system
- is dangerous, and while there is ABSOLUTELY NO TRUTH to the rumors of
- treasure-filled dungeons and caverns beneath the city, many
- disappearances each year are attributed to unauthorized excursions
- beneath the city. For the larcenous-minded, be warned that Rampart's
- City Guard is uncorruptible. It is just a matter of time, promises
- Morgon the Justiciar, until the secret hideout of the Thieves' Guild
- is uncovered....
-
- But these warnings are surely unnecessary for the vast majority of our
- visitors who will be perfectly safe if they act with reasonable caution....
