I am glad to announce the birth of a new APAC town. The town of "PERIDEXIA". Just where on the APAC Server? Not sure yet......... Unaffiliated, but open to negotiations. (nudge nudge wink wink).

Nestled in the valley along the banks of a river lies the small settlement of Peridexia, once home to the last fabled Peridexion Tree. But the Peridexion Trees are all long dead now, all that remains are the legend & a dead tree in the middle of a small town. Legend has it that in days long past, when dragons roamed the lands & skies of Elyria, all the animals & birds lived in fear of them. The "Spirit of Life" (Terra) took pity on the creatures & created the Peridexion Trees. Carefully scattered throughout the land, they offered a refuge & safe haven for all wildlife. For as long as they dallied near the trees, they were safe from dragons.

For dragons could not touch a Peridexion Tree, nor bear to be within its shade, nor even to tolerate the scent of its flowers & fruits. The "Spirit of Life" summoned all the creatures of Elyria & told them of the safety guaranteed by the Peridexion Trees. Slowly over the ages as the world changed & the dragons entered their slow decline, the trees also withered & died. Leaving magnificent dried husks of what were once trees of such grandeur. The creatures of Elyria still remember & will often stop & rest beneath an old tree. Though they fear dragons no more.
