## Shops

There are 2 shops on the Belowblack Town, the first one is the “Belowblacklamps”, Its sorta like a Bulby Dan’s Lamps but in belowblack, If you got there because of the ace teleporter and can’t get out, it may be useful, but at all is just useless.

Theres also a Blacksmith in belowblack, the items sold there are kind of powerful but not cheap. Heres a list of the items they sell there :

Belowblack’s Blacksmith
 Rotative Mace
 Dark Saber

## Belowblack Fortress

This is a major part of Belowblack whose entry has been reverse engineered between out-of-game references and clues below, but the full in-game string of clues has not been discovered

To enter, at the Gargoyle, say "Clear The Way Halasder Darkcoat"

### Known clues to the password

William(NPC) near it gives many clues such as the rose window is depicting Solis Ortu and a sign also says - "The plaque says the building of this fountain was founded by William A, grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-son of the Belowblack Fortress architect." The name of this architect is the remaining part of the mystery.

Some major clues about the format of the password:

Effecue(NPC) comments on Solis Ortu - "Solis Ortu is an old ritual that used to be used to lock any door so that it could only be temporarily unlocked by doing the opposite ritual known as Occasum." William mentions that Solis Ortu is on the rosace at the entrance of Belowblack Fortress - "The rosace on the fortress is depicting the Solis Ortu."

Occasum appears to be the undoing ritual to open Belowblack Fortress. Effecue comments "Oh those things are ancient, I am sure somebody could enlighten you but that is not going to be me." William, when asked about Occasum, says "The Occasum is an old ritual. To be honest I do not know much about it." However, the biggest clue is that Bulby Dan from Broadway Island says "Oh that is a thing from the past, but I can enlighten you on the subject as I have witnessed and practiced it. It is quite simple actually if you know the name of the ritual instigator. For instance if his name is Gaston Leroux just say clear the way Gaston Leroux in front of the door and that is it."

Some clues on William's lineage:

Father of William - Glouderic, Grandfather of William - Chickderic Arphor (Note: one of the Arphor street rooms on Broadway Island is named after Chickderic Arphor. The other Arphor street belongs to Archiric Arphor and there is a grave in Christiania's graveyard with Fronssoi Arphor's name on it.)

It is known that the Steam Elemental is in the lower sections of the fortress, beyond the Gargoyle password challenge. The only known current way past the gargoyle is the random-chance teleporter on the teleporter island.
