| SUMMARY:							|
|								|
| Emmitt was the first to live on The Rocks. He didn't know how	|
| he got there, but things were so nice he wasn't going to ask.	|
| He called them The Rocks, though they were in fact more than	|
| just rocks. The place was, rather, a collection of grassy	|
| islands pockmarked with hardy cedar trees, suspended in a	|
| vast greenish void. A few loose stones hung majestically in	|
| the air, or lazily danced circles across the alien sky. One	|
| of these islands held a pond with the most pure spring water	|
| cascading off the side in an elegant stream, only to be	|
| caught by a portal and returned to the source above. At the	|
| center was a raging maelstrom that seemed as though it held	|
| everything together, somehow. Somewhere far below was what	|
| looked like an endless sea, but Emmitt wasn't sure.		|
|								|
| Emmitt found he never felt hungry, and if he ever was thirsty	|
| the infinite pond would quench him. Still, he could not abide	|
| the dullness of paradise, and began to envision wondrous	|
| contraptions and buildings, and wished for the means to bring	|
| his dreams to reality.					|
|								|
| The next morning Emmitt awoke to find various tools had	|
| miraculously appeared near him as he slept. Rather than	|
| question things, he simply set himself to work, felling trees	|
| and sawing them into sturdy planks which would then become a	|
| quaint little cottage. This continued for some time; whenever	|
| Emmitt dreamed or wanted, the next morning his prayers would	|
| be answered, and slowly he began to mold The Rocks to his own	|
| tastes.							|
|								|
| Then, one evening, Emmitt wished he had some friends to live	|
| here on The Rocks with him...					|

| DEV NOTES:							|
|								|
| This is what happens when I play too much Myst.		|
|								|
| Peak R_Speeds are around 1350, higher than I'd like but there |
| isn't much I can do about it, since it's largely due to the	|
| map's open layout. This map uses stock assets.		|
|								|
| Snarks and tripmines are the only weapons absent, because on	|
| a map like this they'd be pretty useless anyway.		|
