Follow me, and I shall show you such wonders
A world that unfolds like a dream before your eyes
Full of mysteries and magic, shadows and light
Opportunities to rise, to love, to grow, or just to live

Come, step lively--you don't want to miss a moment
For there are too many sights here for one lifetime
Marvels and miracles to capture your heart forever
Weaving tales that become legends unforgettable

Look there! A great dragon just thundered past you
A massive thing, with a tail that can dispatch an army
And that fair lady in white--the mistress of a city
For power here takes many forms, subtle and strange

Here now lies the road upon which you will travel
That leads to the northern fortress and the twilit city
Or south to the jewel of light or the city of songs
Your fate beckons you--where do you wish to go?

Believe me, anything is possible for you here
Gold, fame, strength, all lie within your grasp
Fall in love, unearth secrets, build an empire--
Every moment you live here echoes in eternity.

In every corner awaits adventure--and death
For a dream can shatter more easily than glass
And disillusionment makes sorrowers of us all
As each failure tears more pieces from our hearts

For a true world it is, though made of dreams
The dreams of thousands, and the will of One
Manifest in every city, every quest, every detail
Until even the dream takes on a life all its own

Now go forth, and let your future welcome you
Whether you take the sword, or learn the mystic arts
Lurk in the shadows or embrace the very sun itself
Live out your dreams here and bring them all to life.
