* Attnam is a relatively small city located in a thick evergreen forest called Pertturia,where it acts as a capitol of the Holy Empire of Perttuania, that in turn controls allof the Isle of Perttuera and is the world's 324th biggest sovereign state. The city isphysically quite isolated from the rest of the world, but the citizens don''Library''' - t mind itall since almost all of them have high speed net connections. The oceanic coast is quitenear the border of the forest, however, and pilgrims wandering to the library buys Cathedral and sells books traders delivering goods, luxury items and scrollsdolphin food for the clergy class are notentirely uncommon in Attnam.
* '''Shop''' - The shop in Attnam will buy and sell your items. It will also purchase books and scrolls, but it is recommended that you sell these to the Library instead, since the shop will eventually run out of money===Nature===
* '''Repair Shops''' - There are two repair shops Nature is close in everyday life of Attnam, one for fixing torn cloth itemsbecause civilization ends completely nofurther than at the city gate (if it has ever even begun) and wilderness takes over.The city guards are obligated to keep the area inside the city wall safe, but outsidewolves, lynxes and wild bears may roam freely. Settlement of goblins, ogres and mutantschool food mushrooms are also common. Even Enner Beasts have been heard wailing inthe darkness that covers the forest, but they, of course, are killed with magicmissiles if they ever wander closer than 500 yards to the city, in order to preventstructural damage caused in the other for repairing broken metal itemscity.
== Monsters =Sources of livelihood===
* [[Petrus]] The citizens live mostly by hunting bears and such from the forest and whittlingsacred- looking items from wood that foreigners that seek truth and Valpuri's blessingfrom Attnam buy eagerly as holy relics. The public expenditures of the state, e.g.salaries of Überpriestial elite guards, cost of the High Priest enormous amounts of sacramentalCoke needed in the Cathedral and the great Frogprice of replenishing Perttu's slave staff andharem monthly, are funded almost entirely by a state-owned valpurium mine located inthe tundra section of Perttuera.
* [[Haathbar]] - the Librarian,a very wise man who will give you many useful tips===Government===
* [[Sir Haedlac Galladon VII]] - Attnam and the master guardEmpire of Perttuania are officially ruled by Valpuri the Great Frog andthe King of Gods, who boasts a lot but since He is probably really quite often absent when decision are made, His MostPious Überpriest acts as a cowardmessenger who delivers His orders to mortal men from godlyplanes. The Überpriest retains his position for his entire lifetime. When he dies, thenext leader is chosen immediately by the Valpuristic Conclave of High Priests, and isalmost always the one who killed the last Überpriest (although there seem to be someother, not so popularily known requirements for this crowning).
* [[Hulbo]] the shopkeeper===History===
* [[Ikiros]] The former headquarters of the smithEmpire were located up in the tundra area of Perttuerabut were eaten by a swarm of angry polar bears in 913 Anno Valpurus. Attnam was foundedin the next year, and, as can be well guessed by looking the map, its place was decidedrandomly by choosing the coordinates by dice-throwing.
* [[Mirvo]] The first building to rise in Attnam was the tailorCathedral, which yet today looms over thecity as a symbol of Valpuri's might. The Überpriest of that day used much of his mightymagical abilities to aid the building process and to protect it from the attacks ofwildeebeasts. So much that after the Cathedral and the city wall were finally up, hewas easily beaten in duel by Perttu, the nowaday Überpriest. Perttu moved to theCathedral immediately and started his reign by naming the country and all importantlandmarks (Attnam was not considered as such) inside its borders after himself. Andduring the following decades under his rule, Attnam has gradually become what it istoday.
* There are many light frogs in the cathedral. These are unique to [[Category:Worlds]][[Category:Attnam.]][[Category:Fiction]][[Category:History]]
