(by Henry Wolfgang, Warlord of the Citadel)
Greetings
Im Henry Wolfgang,the last warlord of the old Kingdom of Navarra.I travel from the Citadel of Pamplona to this strange and also dangerous world of Tibia to gain honor and glory to my Country,also to kick some Castellan or French ass if they put on my way ;).
As this strange world is dangerous i decided to write a letter to u to xplain my adventures in the Rookgard,that maybe would be of some help to other soldiers.
My Adventures here,started in a quite small temple in the city (people here is not very religious i suppose,San Fermin bless them). I was armed whith a club and apple and a torch,nothing very lethal but this land is for the braves¡When i arrived i speak with some people and i notices my first enemys would be in the underground¡so i went down and discover that the sewers of the city was more populated than Pamplona´s Cathedral on sunday,lots of people were down here searching rats¡ for kill,so i do the same;Despite of the massive presence of humans,it's not difficult to find rats to kill 'cause for any strange reason (probably magic) they appears as quickly as people kill them.
At the begining i walked arround killing rats and taking the money and the cheese they had,well,dont ask me,i dont know why the rats have money,but i take a pair of dead bodies and sell them to seymour in the academy for 2 gold each¡not bad reward for a newbie.A pair of time i had to go to the temple again so the priest can health me,but when i had some money i went to the obi's shop and buy a rapier for 15 gold,better weapon to kill rats faster,(earn money faster)with this new weapon i started to go to the deeper caves where rats live,so i could kill 3 or 4 rats at same time and get money faster,and whith the money i earn from the rats and from selling their bodies i buy a leather helmet and a leather armor¡¡.With this equipment rats are not a hard problem so i buy 2 or 3 torchs for 2 gold each and go down the sewers till all the torch were off,walking in the caves,killing rats and taking money and food,and getting experienced in weapons.
And well,for the moment things are going well for me.I must apologize for my bad expressions but it's not the lenguage we use in home¡luckily last winter a traveler come tothe citadel and teach me some words of the strange words that most of tibians understand.

My adventures in this land called Tibia continue,so i decided to write another letter to describe how the things are going.
Well,if there issomething comun between this land and my country that thing is the commerce,most of the people who lives in this islandwants to buy or to sell weapons,armors and stuff in general,that's a good thing for the newbies,with some gold i take from my visits to the sewers i buy a studded armor for 25 gold from a men,and a studded helmet too,after that,i sell my leather equipment,my rapier,and with a litte more money i buy a sabre for 35 gold :).
With this new equipment the rats are nothing except easy money and food,but i dont know nothing of the rest of the city,and those stupid rats are getting smaller for me,luckily i met a new friend,called Lingam,he was a veteran soldier of this land so i follow him to the underground of the academy of Seymour (first i buy a key to seymour for 5 gold,in case of problems would be useful).
In this new scenery i discovered a lot of people trading like a normal market of a city,if any normal market were in a dungeon of course,anyway we continue our travel in this academy till we arrive to a strange blue light;jump in¡ said Lingam,so i did it and wow¡i was transported to another cave¡¡,at the end we arrive a curious arena whith levers,lingam said that using this levers one monster appears in the arena and you can figth with less danger than outside the city,but he try all and nothing happens,the monster died recently he said,we must wait,I dont really understand of which hell monsters came from and why we must wait,but sometimes i'ts better not to ask.Wait for monsters it's quite boring so after 2 or 3 seconds we decided to go outside the city¡
The city of this island,it's surrounded by walls as my own Citadel so we use a high brigde to go from inside to outside.The outwards of the city are poblated whith a lot of animals but i discovered this fact in other adventure later;We ignore the forest of the east and we went directly to the north,to an abandoned house in which deeper cellar live's Trolls¡¡.As in any part of this land,in this caves under the house we saw some soldiers hunting trolls,and we found some trolls too¡ if i were alone could be really hard to win the fight but with Lingam was easy to finish the troll,that was my first victim except rats, and when he died i take a leather helmet,wooden shield,spear and 1 gold...yeah, i think the same,quite poor one,but anyway,i kill a troll¡ :).
We hunted a pair of trolls more and them we left the caves and return to the city,that adventure with trolls was really exciting despite of the last part when the torch light off,and we were in middle of the darkness with troll surrounding us¡but San Fermin protect us and we returned City safe,after this,Lingam continue his way in this island.
Those trolls were really dangerous,if u dont have good armor and weapon,and some experience in fighting,it's easy to become dead,so next time i'll xplore more the town and the forest near it,a wolf skin could be really cool over the fireplace of the dining room :).

My travels in this land of dangers continue,i have explored almost all the surface of the Rookgard island,except the southeast,because the density of the forest in that part,but i'll xplore it too when i have time.
In this journey of discovery,i have founded a lot of animals,most of them were dangerous,like wolfs or spiders,others not like deers,well,in fact deers are the only animal that not tried to kill me,(i hunt them anyway,they provided very good meat :),to tell the truth there is a farmyard in the city with dead sheeps that also dont tried to kill me,i visit this farmyard some times and always i founded dead sheeps,people here must love their meat i suppose 'cause i never seen a sheep alive,poor farmer...
The island it's not very big so it's not easy to get lost;In the north i founded some snakes,i kill them quite easy,i heard that they have poison but i never get poisoned,luckily;I arrived to the old house,home of the trolls but i dont want to engage with this monsters now so i turn right and get into the sweet valley.The north of the valley is populated by snakes and a very strange place with brigth green grass and somekind of bubble,i have no idea of what strange magic produced this bubble,in the south there is a colony of bugs in the forest,not harder,they were easy to hunt,and never run away when wounded,as other monsters do,at the east of this forest there is a pass where i founded a wolf (finally i get the skin for the fireplace of the citadel :).
At the end of the pass i went to the north and i founded a cemetery of old heros who died in this land i suppose,but when i arrived i heard a man shouting for help,i followed the shout and i found a soldier,been atacked by a Rottworm¡¡,quickly i attacked this dangerous creature, this animal was very hard,but we had luck and a pair of warriors appears also to help,their names was Larix and Pepi,we three fight with the rottworm while the soldier heavily wounded tried to escape from a horrible dead,was very difficult because the creature pursued the soldier while he run for his life and we follow the creature triying to surround him,in the middle of the forest at the north of the cemetary,this fight was little long,with pauses when we shared food to recover and them continued the battle.At the end Sanfermin gave us the Victory¡¡,rottworm died and we not,Honor and Glory for the Tibian Warriors.
After this terrible battle i continued my travel of discovery,and entered in the far east of the island. This is the the most dangerous part of the Surface of th e island i think,in the north a den of wolves wait to devour any man,but the docks are worst even;a colony of spiders and the evil poison spiders have their home here.Those animals,the poison spiders,are really hard,a pair of times i had to retreat to recover after a battle with this creatures.
This travels of discovery allowed me to earn some money and improve my equipment buying a plate shield and a brass helmet from veteran soldiers of the island,as always the best option,much better than buy weapons or armor in obi's shop,the old obi is so stingy that his shop is always full and he dont hire a worker to help him,or even his wife if this ugly man is married,of course he dont have the attractive of the northern Kingdom of Navarra ;).
As a last note say that hunt deers is the best way of get food,they are fast,but in the density of the forest they cant escape and it's really easy to finish them,and their meat is very taste,unfortunate,there's not a place in the city where a man can drink a good wine or even a beer with the meat,i heard that in the continent there's some taberns :)).

Gods are being favorable to me,i have xplored now the troll's caves,and killed some of them,and also some spiders who lived in this dark caves.In the first level under the old house i only found trolls(this monsters are not very hard at least,they carry hand axes,wooden shields and spears,and sometimes leather helmets or ropes)and a colony of spiders who lives in the center of this level.The second level is populated by orcs¡new monster i never met before i encountered them in the caves,they are harder than trolls,but not very much,with my studded armor,plate shield and my sharped sword are quite acceptable,if there is only one or two of course,fight with more is a sure dead for me,there are more levels but i havent xplored yet.
In this caves i found a interesting thing,i buy a rope some days ago,and in the troll's caves,near the entrance i saw a hole in the roof,so i put my rope in it and went up to a place out of the cave and in the north of the old house,here i walked and after killing a spider i found a orc in a kind of house,when i was fighting with him a pair of soldiers appears and kill him and went into the cave,so i follow them and i found a really curious scene,the soldiers were speaking with a blind orc¡¡¡in orcish¡¡¡¡¡or whatever is the name of the orc's language,i dont understood nothing of course,but maybethis blind orc cant teach his idiom or something like that,im not sure about it,'cause the soldiers dont wanted to answer my questions.
And the commerce of the island it's improving,some days ago i found a shop behind the temple,near the river,a lady was the owner,and her name was Fawna,she had some workers who were fishing in the river and helping her in the shop,i bought a legion helmet for a really good price,and eat some fish(it was for free),after that she said that she would dance for 5 gold,that was quite curious so i gave to her my old brass helmet to see this dance,and was very good ;))) ( i know the helmet worths more,but that was the first time i saw people dancing in tibia and gods¡i wanted to see that,so i can write about it :).
A curious thing i have noticed,is that some people are really interested in my adventures,'cause i met some of them,who recognized me and showed me a lot of new things like the wolf's cave (thanks Pj:),and all of them were very honorably soldiers,who tried to answer all my questions about this land of monsters.In the other side i also notice about some men who are known as Pk's,i suppose the meaning is Pathetic Killers,but im not sure,anyway this warriors are assesins who kill just to satisface his greedy,to steal the equipment or just 'cause they are evil.In my opinion this is not acceptable,a duel is a duel of course,but for a experienced warrior to kill a novice is really a shame.Soldiers must have honor,otherwise they are bandits.In the island there is a kind of peace treaty that prevents this kills,but the continent is different,i will notice this when i travel there.
And well,in the Kingdom where i come from we have ranks in the Royal Army,from the simple soldier to sergeant,captain and finish in the warlord of the Kingdom.Here,in tibia,people use other type of ranks,not names but numbers,they call it "levels",and all the soldiers here has a level based in his experience and capacity of fighting,now im suppose to be a level 8,and i heard that at this level you are allowed to travel to the continent and to choose to be a warrior or one of this strange mages,of course i dont know nothing of magic :),so i will choose one of the others.
The continent is much bigger than this island,with a lot of new things to learn and lot of strange criatures,most of them dangerous,i dont know if i will continue writing my adventures to Ralgar,who i consider now one of my friends,or i finish my writes when i arrive to thais,i will consider it when i travel to the continent.

Some days ago i died.
Yep,i know it sounds horrible and quite strange cause im here telling u the story but let me start at the begining.
A pair of days ago,i decided to continue my labour of writing about this land of Tibia here in rookgard and in the continent when i reach it,so as prob my last letter about this curious island i wanted to write more about the underground of Rookgard,and well,the first place that came to my mind was this dark cemetery we have here,i heard that is populated by spiders and rotworms but i thought-i have killed trolls,wolves, orcs,so lets have a look of this hell hole¡-,so i went to the cemetery alone as almost always.When i arrived to the cemetery i opened a hole in one tomb and jumped into the darkness without fear.I encountered face to face with a evil rotworm and 2 or 3 poison spiders,im not sure,so the fight begun,some secs later i saw that the beasts were too much 4 me so i throw my rope to the hole to escape,i failed.Nervously tried again and failed again,my life was getting out of my body,gods maybe im not throwing correctly¡,so i move back to see the hole,the monsters follow and surrounded me,i was heavily wounded,and the hole was occupied by a rotworm and poisons,this creatures were the last i saw,after that the dark.......
BUT¡ suddenly i was in atemple breathing again¡¡¡¡ without any equipment of course but man,i was alive¡ incredible isnt it?.Well in fact i discovered later that here people come back when they die not as ghosts but a humans,i returned to the cemetery and a pair of soldiers give back to me some of my equip,they keep the plate shield,shovel and others things but well,did i say im alive?In the Kingdom where i come from,man,believe me,when u die,u die,food 4 worms.And well that was the day i died.
Before that,i finally get another plate and with my sword xplore some other places like the bears cave,i must write about this 'cause was curious. I was walking near this damm cemetery when i found a man called Special Pikaorc,he knows me,and he also knows a lot of things of this land,not only Rookgard but also Mainland,when i ask him how could it be posible,he told me a really strange story about one soul and lot of bodys that he can change like i change my boots,he called them chars,yep,i thought the same,curious man,but was really nice and xplained me somethings about Fibula another island of this land and the guilds who live there,also showed me the bears cave :).It's located in the southeast of Rookgard,and as everybody is thinking its the bears home in the island.A colony of about 10 bears live there,in 3 rooms one of them with a nice lake.Bears are not very dangerous if u hunt them one by one or if u are not alone,even 2 are not a hard problem,well,i always speak with my point of view,with a sword,plate,and some xperience,people call me "level 9" so i must be this,if u just arrive to rookgard dont go to the bears cave just because i said they were a easy animal.
Others things i did were,xplore the bug pit located in the west of the island near the town,also i xplored more the hole north of the farm,inside the town,kind of maze,with levels and levels,and populated by spiders and poisons.Participate in a rescue mission to save the stuff of a man,mea soldier called thore and the owner of the stuff went to the deeper levels of trolls caves,we all getout very wounded and didnt recover the stuff,fill the dead sheep pen with fish,that was hard but a soldier called Tibiachick and me were not bad fishermen :),so we fish dozens of fish for anyone who wanted a lunch for free.
And thats all,i would like to travel to the continent so in few days when i xplore a little more i will go to Thais.
