The valley of Lodi was unveiled to Achaea in Mayan, 223AF, by Sarapis, the Logos. Lodi is an area exclusive to newbies trying to get to know the lands in (relative) safety.
Poraeus the dragon, observer of the gateway, watches over all newbies with compassionate eyes. Do not try to enter Lodi if you are above level 21, or you will be quickly ejected by a bronze dragon friend of Poraeus.
Lodi is home to many friends and foes for a new adventurer to meet, greet and if desired, slay. There are many small quests that can be done around Lodi for those wishing for a mental challenge.
