Full internationalization would be much cooler, but that's never going to happen. Given that, this will at least prevent folks from constantly having to look and switch between typing "armor" and "armour", depending on which zone each item originated in, etc. I could flip these either way, but a survey of the current state shows that about 80% of the mixed cases use the American spellings, while 20% use the British. And, most words *only* exist in this data in their American forms. So, it seems the majority prefer these spellings. In case anyone likes trivia: * The most common mixed words in here were "armour" and "colour", each of which occured about half as often as "armor" and "color", respectively. * The most British word in here was "theatre" (including other forms), which occured about twice as often as "theater". This stanardizes all of these (and other forms of these same words): * armour -> armor * colour -> color * favour -> favor * honour -> honor * civilise -> civilize * centre -> center * theatre -> theater * defence -> defense * offence -> offense * realise -> realize

Outside Redferne's Residence~
|
|
A huge cloud forms the plateau on which you are now standing. The
|
|
wind here is absolutely quiet and the sun is shining warmly upon you.
|
|
From under the cloud you can hear the faint sounds of Midgaard. Right
|
|
before you to the north lies the grand Mansion of Naris.

The Southern End Of The Hall~
|
|
You are standing in a vast hall that is dimly lit, but wherever the
|
|
light comes from, is a mystery. The walls seem to radiate warmth and
|
|
give the pleasent feeling of being welcome here. A large portrait is
|
|
hanging on one of the walls. A large wooden staircase leads up into
|
|
the tower. To the east there is a high passage away from the hall.
|
|
This ends shortly after by a tall oak door. The enormous hall extends
|
|
further north from here. To the south you can see a huge, and VERY
|
|
heavy-looking iron-wrought door. It looks like this is the only exit
|
|
from this magnificent old house.

Redferne's Library~
|
|
This is truly a magnificent place! Books and scrolls lie together
|
|
on every shelf. A large globe, with the map of the world upon it,
|
|
stands in the dimly lit north-western corner of the room. Two large
|
|
and comfortable looking leather armchairs adorn the center of the
|
|
library together with a huge oak desk. Dim light radiates from an
|
|
enormous crystal chandelier hanging down from the ceiling approximately
|
|
10 feet off the floor. To the east there is a great old ashen door. A
|
|
large glass window is set in the west wall.

The Northern End Of The Hall~

You are standing in the northern end of the huge hall. This part is

under the grand wooden staircase so the light seems to be a little less

bright here, but this doesn't affect your sight at all. To the north
|
|
lies the kitchen. To the south lies the southern end of the hall. To
|
|
the east there is a huge metal door. To the west there is a large
|
|
aspenwood door.

seems to chuckle quietly, and as you descend further you hear a soft whisper

other time, stranger. Your company is always... hmmm... interesting. God
