WORLD ARCH: Rita

WEATHER:  Welstar is similar to the medieval Europe of Earth.  It has
the full range of temperatures and climes, from the Meritoson Desert
to the Glacial Wastes.  Being the third planet from the sun, it is most
similar to Earth than the others.

CULTURE:  Welstar's culture is similar to a combination of both 
medieval European and ancient Roman cultures.  Most Welstarians speak
with a proper British accent, although the less-educated have a thicker
cockney accent.  Welstar's cities and architecture tends to consist
of fluted columns and great statues.  The sciences are popular, as is
invention.  Rules, laws, regulations, and order are generally encouraged.
The philosophies are also a fashionable trend.  Magic is a powerful, 
influential, and decisive factor on Welstar which permeates the very
fabric of society.

PEOPLE:  Welstar is home to the Meritoson elves, unique to the Meritoson
Desert.  The Treants rule the Swamplands west of Keystone City, while the 
Drensieqi and Titans still walk the land.  

WELSTAR:  Welstar's interplanetary transportation consists of statues.
The statues are scattered throughout Welstar's terrain, seven in all,
each representing a virtue.  A certain statement must be made for
each virtue at each statue in order to utilize the transport.  Five
go to other worlds, one does nothing, and one sends you to a special
shrine.  They start in seven specific locations but which statue is
at which locations is randomly determined.  If you are evil, you have
a chance of being denied transportation and being paralyzed in place
for awhile.
