==Shopping==
Shops are located all over Mhaldor, but the main shops are located in the market district in the lower circle of the city. Rurin’s business has not reached this island and necessities such as inks and even sigils are sold in shops owned by [[Drogo]], the travelling merchant. The quality and durability of said items, however, leave much to be desired. Mhaldor once had a jewellery store in the market district known as Vanity, once run by the seductive [[Emalaith]], it is now open for ownership by adventurers instead. Those with an interest in unique stationery might wish to track down [[Drobund]] and have a look at his wares. Because of Mhaldor’s high population of thieves, one might find rare or unique guild items within certain shops, either on display or for sale. With some luck, if one was robbed, one might actually be able to buy it back here.
 
==Dining==
Mhaldor proves itself to be a unique and challenging experience for diners providing exotic but somewhat grisly fare at the [[Worm and Grub]]. Those looking for an after-meal drink should visit the [[Gilded Corset]], the perfect place to unwind and sample hard Mhaldorian liquor.
 
==Recreation==
At first glance, Mhaldor might not seem to be a place of much recreation, but a visit to Madame [[Lucretia]] and her girls at the [[Bathory Chalet]] changes the minds of most. For those less inclined to carnal pleasures, there is the arena. The [[Colloseum Diabolus]] is one of the more unique [[arenas]] in Sapience with segmented areas joined by a single warp. Those less physically inclined might simply wish to settle down for a round of [[gambling|roulette]] with [[Jemima]] or [[gambling|blackjack]] with [[Danzig]], or even a game of [[King's Chess|chess]] at the Incubi Archives.
 
==Facilities==
All facilities in Mhaldor are located on the first level of the city. The Succubi Letters, Mhaldor’s post office, is located on the east side of the city along Nefarious way. It has a rather unique but cranky postal service. [[Virea]], a bowmistress, tends the city's archery needs.
 
The Incubi Archives are located on the west side of the city along Abomination road. Here, visitors may catch up on [[news]].
 
Pestilent Way at the northern point of the city is where [[Maric]], the ratman and tutor of the city, resides, as well as the local [[bank]], called The Vault, directly south of him.
 
A point to note are the schools of piranha that are located all over the city in deep pools. They serve as [[humgii]]s in the city along with an actual, snarling one who sits with Maric.

The [[Fissure]] as well as a statue of Lord Kaelin is located at Central Courtyard in [[Baelgrim Fortress]].
The [[Fissure]] as well as a statue of Lord Kaelin is located at Central Courtyard in [[Baelgrim Fortress]]. Along the Avenue of Trapped Souls is an eerie looking tree. It is at this tree that aspiring Mhaldorians kneel and swear their oath of loyalty. Don’t stand too close for the tree is blood-thirsty, and has been known to make attempts at grabbing people. North and East of that is the [[Mhaldorian Cathedral]]. Erected in 433 AF, the monumental building stands as an antipode to the [[Chrysalis Basilica]] in [[Shallam]].

Further north at Pestilent Way stands a statue depicting the splitting of Sartan into the gods [[Shaitan]] and [[Apollyon]]. Also present is a pyramid of skulls, a gruesome collection of the heads of Mhaldor’s enemies over the years. Touching it will reveal the exact number. [[Groukar]] the orc has also constructed his pillory here.

Line 87: Line 69:
Beware the adventurer who chooses to risk the sewers of Mhaldor. Frost beasts  and other oddities crawl around the depths. You may also stumble across [[Bertram]], the sewer worker, who could be possibly be the foulest man on Sapience.

Sartan’s public temple is located on the lower level of the city. Every Sarapin, a sacrifice to the Lords of Oppression and Suffering is conducted in the highest chamber. Hidden in this temple is a secret room where a mysterious book will read selected sections of Mhaldorian history to those who hold it.

This is where [[Theoren]], the executioner, punishes citizens who have broken Mhaldorian law or shown disrespect to their superiors.
