> You slog through the shifting sands for a long time, not really seeming to get that close. Just when you’re about to give up, you crest a large dune and come upon the walls of the city you saw before. It’s definitely NOT a mirage. There are sandstone walls at least fifty feet tall ringing the entire settlement, and the only entrance you can see is a huge gate with thick wooden doors. The entrance appears to be guarded by a female gray fox who’s more busy sipping on something from a bottle than watching the desert.

## Introduction

The shining jewel of the Marethian desert, Tel'Adre is a small city that serves as one of the last enclaves to remain hidden from the demons. Surrounded by fifty foot sandstone walls, the city is hidden from the outside world by a powerful group of magic-users known as The Covenant. Any corrupted entity that approaches the city or gains entrance is quickly dispatched by The Watch, a well trained police force that enforces law and order in and around the city. As such, while the city is home to a huge variety of animal-morphs, there is little to no corruption to be found within its walls. Despite the cities relatively small size, its population is far too small for it, leaving many houses empty.

## Encounters

These encounters can occur when first arriving at Tel’Adre or while transitioning between locations within the city.

### A Sickly Lizard

Wandering the streets of Tel'Adre, you come across a lizan in poor-health. The Champion has the option of assisting, carrying on, or committing to never seeing this particular character again. Helping the poor lizan begins the story line of Arian.

### Dark Alleyways

As you pass a narrow alleyway, you notice someone being mugged. Do you intervene, call for help, or simply carry on your way? Choosing to intervene and ultimately help out begins the storyline of the cat-morph Katherine. After encountering this a second time, the Champion is introduced to her alleyway, which can be accessed by going to **Pawn** -> **Misc** -> **Kath's Alley**.

### A Poor Helpless Housemaid...

Luna, a displaced housemaid of dubious origins, can be found wandering the streets, begging for employment. For the price of 500 gems, the Champion can recruit her as a follower to serve your needs back at camp.

### Begone, Foul Beast

You notice a commotion in the street, choosing to investigate reveals that Urta, Captain of the Watch has discovered a demonic wolf that has somehow made it into the city. Despite her small size, the wolf is no match for her.

## Locations

The following are all locations that can be visited in Tel'Adre. The citizens of the city have daily schedules, jobs, and personal lives, which are reflected by them only being present at certain locations at particular times of day. For more detailed information about a character's schedule and the locations of Tel'Adre they might frequent, visit their dedicated page.

### Blacksmith

Run by the dog-morph Yvonne, the blacksmith sells armour and shields.

### Piercing Studio

The cat-morph Yara owns the local piercing studio, offering piercings and removal of said piercings for a variety of different body parts. This store is particularly useful if the Champion falls afoul of Ceraph.

### Tailor

The local tailor is owned and run by a corgi dog-morph by the name of Victoria. She sells a variety of underclothes and light armour pieces.

### Weaponsmith's Stand

Owned by a particularly ill-tempered husky dog-morph, this stand sells a traditional variety of blades, blunt, and thrown weapons.

### Jewelry Store

The jewelry store sells enchanted jewellery, as well as a jewellery box that can be used while at camp to store your hoards of shiny stuff. Several items required to feed the Aether Twins can be purchased here.

### Carpenter

Owned by a seven-foot tall, snazzily dressed zebra-morph, the carpenter sells the tools and building materials required to expand and fortify your camp #Build Options. For more information on how building works and where to source your own building materials, see the **Build Options** section of the camp page.

### Oddities Store

Introduced in Xianxia, the Kaiba Odds and Ends is run by a Tanuki named Kaiba. The store mainly sells weapons and armour that only work with specific perk builds, as well as a number of unique items used for quests.

### Gunshop

Also introduced in Xianxia, the Tripxi's Bombs and Guns Emporium is run by one of the few remaining uncorrupted goblins of Mareth, Tripxi. Initially her inventory is sparse, however inquiring as to why this is results in the player being tasked with finding the parts for a host of lost goblin weapons that are spread across all the in-game areas of Mareth. Tripxi also provides some insight into what the Goblin civilisation was capable of prior to the demon invasion.

### Pawnshop

The Pawnshop is run by the golden retriever dog-morph Oswald. One of the most useful stores in the game, here the player can offload their unwanted gear in return for half their value in gems. For those looking to rid themselves of weapons, it might be worth considering offering them at the Dilapidated Shrine instead. One the Champion is familiar with Katherine and her sleeping spot in the alley behind the pawnshop, it can be accessed via **Pawn** -> **Misc** -> **Kath's Alley**. The Champion's inventory space can also be expanded by purchasing a backpack from the miscellaneous section of his shopfront.

### Bakery

The Bakery is frequented by several of Tel'Adre's more unusual individuals. Here, the Champion can purchase various transformative baking items and ingredients from the resident baker, a hulking minotaur. He is rather passionate about his area of expertise and is more than happy to discuss the various ingredients that go into each item.

### Bar

The Wet Bitch is the social center of Tel'Adre and is frequented by patrons at all times of day. Here, the Champion can meet a number of the important figures in Tel'Adre, as well as celebrate birthdays and hire the services of the local talent.

### Gym

The Tel'Adre gym is an excellent way of raising the Champions strength, toughness, and speed stats. Several opportunities to make new friends are present here, some are even ready to start a family, whether they realise it or not!

### Tel'Adre Tower

The centerpiece of Tel'Adre, this enormous structure houses the public library. Guarded by a rather unfortunate individual, the library can only be used by the Champion once he has gone home for the day at 6pm.

### Massage Clinic

After enjoying Loppe's performance at The Wet Bitch and befriending her while working out at the gym, the Champion can ask about visiting her mum, Uma. Loppe will enthusiastically invite you back to meet her at their home: Kemono’s Oriental Clinic. Following this encounter, the clinic becomes an accessible shop. Here, the player can receive stat-boosting acupuncture and massage therapies.

### Homes
