Welcome, welcome to the grand opening of Shaundakul Travel Agency. To commemerate our ribbon cutting ceremony we are giving all who come a free one week vacation to the city of their choice. We will magically transport you there so you will not be seeing any travel to the city of your choice purely just the city. The only catch is that once a city has been chosen once it may not be chosen again for another customer. If you so decide you want your one week vacation (all expenses paid and also a simple shape shift so do not be worried about races)please post the name of the city you would like to travel to and a simple sentence or so on why you would like to travel there!
I saw this posted on Candlekeep's gate so I thought I'd let the rest of you guys know about it ! Anyhow I'm here for my free one week vacation and i pick Waterdeep the City of Splendors. As for why I would like to travel there, there are many reasons but I believe the pet name to the city clearly expains it, for it is THE City of Splendors!

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Leuthilspar(Evermeet), visit the famous capital of Evermeet and see the grand palace of Queen Amlaruil which supposedly outshine almost every building in the city. |
We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

Right at this moment... Bedorn -- in the Border Kingdoms -- playground of Calimshan satraps. I like the idea of being able to alter landscapes to create beautiful vistas .

Aye, first a trip to Shade Enclave and visiting Telamont.
I think I would be touring the underground city of Phaerlin beneath the sands of Anaurouch. |

To Lyrabar, the capital of Impiltur. A city that is quite nice to look around.
Next on the location would be Witch-King Zhengyi's castle in Vaasa. |

Hello-
Ah, 'Tis an easy answer - especially with that Shape Shift thrown in!
Myth Drannor.
Simply put - I think that this city is just 'begging' to have Loads of help arrive to restore it to its former glory. Of course - this is likely not possible - but one can Dream, can't one?

I am collecting the D&D Minis. I would be more than willing to trade with people. You can send me a PM here with your email listed - and I can send you my minis list. Thanks!
Successfully traded with Xysma! |

My igloo has got central heating, so I'm okay. And the polar-bear skin fetches a bundle at the fur-shops. Oh, and how many olympic ice-hockey gold-medals does Finland have? |

With the shapeshift option included, I'd choose Menzoberranzan. Yeah, I know most of you probably had enough of it and would think me boring, but I still can't imagine any place could be more interesting - and more entertaining - for me.
And, if Ched Nasad still existed, I'd gladly pop in there as well for a short weekend break :) |

Well, since we have to choose a location not chosen by others I'll have to go with baldur's gate, I'd prefer Silverymoon, but it isn't an option anymore.

I see no one's mentioned Cormyr; perhaps some fishing in the Wyvernwater and then a nice stay in Suzail. Avoiding, if at all possible, any massive amounts of violence.

| Eveningstar. Hands down. That place is so intriguingly in the middle of so much. Plus it seems out of the way so I could complete most of my spell research..... I mean it would be scenic and stuff. |

Plenty of great fun there!

| No travelin, shards but that's half the fun. Well since I ain't a fan o' sailin and it's a long trip through the Underdark, I'll be takin a ticket to Caer Callidyrr. |
If I waited till I knew what I was doing, I'd never get anything done.

Eveningstar: Tessaril Winter's bed, during a tenday when Azoun's visiting (remember, we Knights are adventuring some years behind the current timeline). Hopefully I could really get my fill. Er, so to speak.
Yes, I know Alustriel provides the same floating party, but I've DONE that one.
Ahem.
To reply seriously: a tenday spent with Elminster, wherever he goes - - and if I'm to be stuck in one place, a tenday in Waterdeep, spent with Mirt and Asper, a-intriguing.
love to all,
THO |
