12.2.1 NEWTON CAVERNS (Newbie Area)
Carved into the side of Avechna's Peak are a set of tunnels, uniquely attuned to the vibrations of those people who have newly passed through the Portal of Fate. The race of gnomes make their home here and nowhere else within Lusternia, fighting against the rat-like finks who live in the lower tunnels. It is said that the gnomes have found a way to cross back to their homeland, which exists on the far side of Lusternia. Young adventurers may find themselves confronted with talking giant ants, walking mushrooms and many other strange beings. The newbie area is rich in quests. Indeed, there are two honour quests for those truly dedicated. See HELP NEWTON HONOURS.
