Od'tumna: The Land, and the Mystical Undersea Caverns
"Enter my world at your own risk, for it has not been long discovered; thus, one must presume many dangers and be on guard at all times. While you silly travelers make your way through the many dark caverns and caves, you shall SEE what lies ahead....
As you fall through a portal into Od'tumna, you are immediately struck by the scent of ancient molds and mildews. Your skin feels the dampness, and the utter darkness chills your bones. Oh yes, you may light a torch, but remember that the creatures who dwell within will find you easily that way; no matter, perhaps they do not wish you harm. Arm yourself well, though, just in case....
Torch lit, you find yourself in a huge cavern, filled with strange drawings on the walls, mystical symbols that few will know the meaning of. Walking carefully, you see an opening to yet another tunnel, and then another. Suddenly you hear a great wind, but you feel nothing. The torch blows out and you are confronted by the darkness...and what lies beyond....?
But wait...there appears to be a settlement deep within the bowels of the caverns...and gods, another upon my beautiful island...
You see, I am Od'tumna...I am the land itself, and I shudder to think what this influx of people will do to my territory. I haven't yet decided whether (or indeed, how much} to torment these morons. We shall see...perhaps they will amuse me. Woe be to them if they do not..."

Description of the Realm
Od'tumna is basically comprised of two sections.It is a volcanic island of approximately 40,000 square miles. This area has been dubbed Od'Palme, and is always referred to as such. Through trickery, it was occupied by a mysterious masked man known only as "Sol"(Benjamin), and he does not take kindly to visitors...
But looks are decieving, for below the island lie the vast caverns, caves, and tunnels of Od'tumna. No one really knows how far they extend, for there is still much that remains uncharted. Tumna city (the capital) is located there, but other lands exist as well, such as Kirour. Wandering these twisting tunnels one may encounter various villages of orcs or dwarves...or perhaps even something more sinister...

~ Other Important Information ~
~And Just Some Basic Rules~
-1- When you arrive in the caverns, you do NOT arrive in Tumna City. You will have to find that yourself! The entrance is hidden and well guarded, so watch your step...
-2- Be it known that although 'Sol' is actually Benjamin, no one in Od'tumna is aware of that fact.
-3- Since we are mainly a forum based Realm, any planned roleplay will take place in the private room "od". Want to plan an RP? Contact Rachel at rachel@myrealms.net.
-4- There will be absolutely NO damage done to Tumna City itself without the permission of Rachel or Tagg. The rest of the caverns are pretty much fair game, but don't get carried away....
