The Nest

ITS THE FUNNY NUMBER

**The Nest** is the big player hub that you can access via the main menu. There are many shops, memes, and quests located here!

## Background

In May of 2023 the Nest was nearly completely destroyed in an attack by Duccwave, who was being controlled by Lemniwinks, a fallen God and creator of Dinopedia. The attack was halted by ScaryLookinHobo, who managed to repel Ducc and prevent him from finishing off the town. Our player would then work on rebuilding the Nest and fixing the damage done in the attack as they hunted down Lemniwinks.

## Buildings

The Nest has a lot of buildings with different purposes, mainly for upgrading the player's gear though. They are constructed and unlocked by the player as the main storyline progresses, and every building is accessible by the end of the story.

* **The Forge**: This is where the player combines old armor and weapons with new items to upgrade them and get boosts during combat and exploration.
* **The Pet Shop**: This is where you can get new pets to aid you in your adventures! Pets that can be bought here include, Suzie, Duck, Kiwi, and Max
* **The Trading Center**: This is where the player can trade items with other online people, at any time! You can also buy items using Golden Almonds from here, although it would usually be easier to get these items from boss drops.
* **The Message Wall**: This is where you can get new quests and check your messages, its supported by Discord too so you can link your account! Quests acquired from here that are not part of the main storyline will usually have a higher risk and higher reward.
* **The Restaurant**: Here you can get DINO NUGGIES!!!! They have no boosts but they are DINO NUGGIES!!!!!! WHO DOESN'T WANT DINO NUGGIES????
* **The Theater**: You can watch old cutscenes you've passed here, as well as every Transformers movie because uhhh cool robots. You can also watch meme showcases that happen daily!
* **Assorted Quest Buildings**: There are many other buildings at The Nest, most of which are cosmetic or Quest-Based. You get your quest info from the message wall, like where the quest is and what it is, but you need to go to one of these buildings to start the actual quest usually.

## Areas

### Town Square

This is where everyone memes, talks, and has a good time. It's the most populated area of the Nest and has no purpose other than to be a social space for Dinopedians. At the middle of the square there is a large fountain monument dedicated to the former admins of Dinopedia, although this would be destroyed during the events of the game.

### Jail

This is a place to help discipline ill-behaviored Dinopedians temporarily. Normally it's the average trolls, vandals, and other trouble makers. Only the users with a short banish sentence will be found here, as permanent or long-lasting banishments will lead the user to be kicked out of the city altogether.

### The Underground

The Nest spans underground too, although the areas down here are considerably more sketchy. This is where a lot of the drama and arguments occurred, as well as where a large portion of the fabled Dinopedia Civil War took place many ages ago. There are many relics of the past down here, such as skeletons of old blocked users and troll messages carved into the walls. This area is avoided by almost everyone except the most shady, brave, or stupid of users.

### Shopping District

All the buildings in the Shopping District are listed in the "Buildings" header. This area was largely destroyed in an attack by Lemniwinks's goons in May of 2023. However, the area has the potential to be built by the player by helping the people rebuild.
