Important Notes and Updates!
first off of, welcome to donkey for becoming an owner!!!!!!!!!!! *hand claps*
Breed of the Week:
Tibetan Mastiff !
Noble and impressive: a large, powerful, heavy, well built dog, well muscled, with much substance and bone, and of solemn but kindly appearance. The Tibetan Mastiff stands well up on the pasterns, with strong, tight, cat feet, giving an alert appearance. The body is slightly longer than tall. The head is broad and impressive, with massive back skull, the eyes deep-set and almond shaped, slightly slanted, the muzzle broad and well-padded, giving a square appearance. The typical expression of the breed is one of watchfulness. The tail is well feathered and carried over the back in a single curl falling over the loin, balancing the head. The coat and heavy mane is thick, with coarse guard hair and a wooly undercoat. The tail and britches are well feathered.
The Tibetan Mastiff has been used primarily as a family and property guardian for many millennia, and is aloof and watchful of strangers, and highly protective of its people and property.

Dreamland Amusement Park This is the amusement park that is called Dreamland. It is like a mixture of eveyone's dreams [hence the name Dreamland]. Though it isn't closed down or abandoned, it is only open from Spring to Fall and it is closed during the winter months.

New School Yard Starting in Autumn and lasting through the Spring months, this is where the kids of the city attend school. Years: Pre-K to 12th Grade come here. Some will feed you, others will throw stuff at you. But, if you wait until after playtime there is always plently of food and crumbs left laying around. Moderator: ADMIN

Crimson Vale (7 sub-boards) Darkness swells from every crevice, both taunting and beckoning as it threatens to swallow the land whole. For those lighter of heart, this is a place of condemning and dread to be avoided at all costs. But for those who are guided by shadows that whisper in the night, it is a haven. A world of blood and fire mingled with the blackness that reaps the souls of the innocent. Though a hostile, cruel land, there is high reward for those who can prove themselves worthy. There's only one question: Can you survive?
Old Playground Even though this is an old playground, the people of today still use it. There is alot of things here: a swing, a slide, and bunch of other toys and things for little kids to play with. There is a fountain in the middle of it and there are picnic tables to the right of the park. Moderator: ADMIN

Train Yard This is the city train yard. It connects the city to a few of the surrounding cities. While it is hardly ever used to transport humans anymore because of cars and what not, it is still used to transport some materials.

Sunken Treasure Trove (7 sub-boards) What would be worse on your mind than hearing the shrieks of Pirate’s past haunts? Aye; here you cannot escape such a torment. It borders the junkyards where they turn to rocky sand. Many dare not follow the path for the rocks are sharp and hurt their pads, but it does not take that brave of a soul to stick it out. Within only a few moments you find yourself staring into the darkness of a large cave; water from the shoreline you stand upon lapping against the wall. If you enter further, you find it; the rotting form of a long forgotten pirate ship. The mast is broken against the wall and the ship is rotting and falling apart. But if you venture inside, who knows what you will find? The land, they say, is haunted, which is why some caring soul must tend to what he plants. The name encompasses the beach all the way up to the junkyard, and directs the traffic to the sea. In the cold, it is best to go inside one of the caves many tunnels and cuddle together. There it is easiest to stay warm.
The Old Kingdom (4 sub-boards) This where the old castle that used to rule over the area. There moat that goes around it is still full of water, and there are fishes in it. There is a bridge that leads over it, and thought the castle is barely standing now, there are plenty of ways into it. The best part about the castle is also the most stable. It is an underground dungeon where a lot of bad things can happen. Don’t forget to check out the garden as well, there seems to be always something blooming there. Moderators: ADMIN, Amaya, Akaine

The Outskirts (9 sub-boards) These are the Outskirts of the town of Kismet. There are many different things here, some strange and others normal. Do not be shocked at anything that you find here.

The Farmlands (4 sub-boards) This is the farmlands. There are plenty of land here. The barn is still in pretty good shape and so is the old abandon cabin that lays just on top of the hill. Though this is not the only farm around this area, it is the biggest of them. There is a pretty big building on the other side of the house that still holds a few things, it is well insulated like the barn and it stays pretty warm. Though there is a large house were the owners stay at, even though they are not here that much, it is a past the old building. Moderators: ADMIN, Amaya, Akaine
