Adrilankha

Adrilankha is the main hometown for most players. If you desire social interaction and help from other players, this is the town for you. Verra's Temple is main gathering place and point of recall. The main newbie area is loacted immediately east of Verras (Library). The city has all the main shops needed to get basic adventuring supplies. Shardar's is located in Market square and sells those two trusty standbys, recall and identify scrolls. The Post Office is near Verras and offers private communication with Immortals or players. You can also mail items to other players who aren't currently playing. Other shops of interst include a bank for storing gold (so you don't lose it all the first time you get lost and die),a general store, and an antiquities shop (where you can blow those hard earned quest points on hard to find equipment and other goodies). The town has no aggressive mobs and is easy to nagivate.

Zones of interest within close walking distance of the city include Zerikas Palace, Narnia, and Castle Black. For a new player I would most definitely urge you to choose Adrilankha as your hometown. Players are friendly and willing to help new people and if you live in Adrilankha the least you can expect from them is advice, helpful spells and quite possibly equipment to get you on your way.
