Wizard 101 Noir: Episode 1 "Troubles on the Medium Grey Side of Town"

So this is the first of a many video series following Dolan Mistheart and his Lifey Noir adventures through the spiral. The Audio is a bit soft for episodes 1 and 2, and I hope you enjoy the first episode.

An Ode to Games

Once a long time ago in the time of yore, bored little children sat and played with sticks, but then one day Poof!
Mr. Alcorn, made the game that started it all, a game that anyone could play. PONG.
And from there came this and that, from 4-bit, to 8, to 16, to 32, to 64, to1080!
Zelda and Mario and Samus and Kirby
Master Chief and War and All the FPS
And who can forget Ratchet and Sackboy and Zombies!
All of these can withstand the rain, and hail and sleet.
All of these are legend.
From WoW to Wiz101 and back again gamers play.
We play the day away
From Pong on the Atari to the NES
and the N64 to the PS
from there the XBox and Gamecube
to all of our present day glory.
No matter what our Age
No matter what our Gender
No matter what our Race
We play games

We Play the Games

For we are legends, villains, heroes, bards, thieves, wizards(woot), barbrians, robots, humans, lombaxes, and more.

Let it be known.
WE ARE GAME!

A Tour of Wysteria

A Picture Expedition is about to commence, you ready young wizard?
More After the Jump.

Test Realm Open!


Welcome to Wysteria


Wysteria was once a trade post and pleasant enough small town in the Wizard City cluster, not too far away but of little consequence in the overall scheme of things, until a magical incident occurred that caused a crawling vine to grow and completely overrun the town.

Players who are level 25 or higher should speak to Merle Ambrose in his tower. He will offer you the quest "To the Registrar".

Pigswick Academy; Pigswick Academy is located at the heart of Wysteria and is a rival school to Ravenwood.

Inside the walls of this city a very special Magic tournament is about to take place and in your journey to solve the mystery involving the theft of an important school treasure it will be up to you to defend the honor and good name of Ravenwood School of Magical Arts! 

Pegasus Place: Normally home to a host of pegasus aerie, this street has been overrun by a wave of goblins and hobgoblins, fierce and horrible creatures who escaped to Wysteria by hitching a ride with some unwitting students. They have blocked off the street, run amok and caused considerable damage to buildings, and are storming around, menacing students and residents alike. 

Tanglewood Way: Tanglewood Way is ruled by the forces of nature. The gates are completely entangled with vines and seemingly are impassible, and two guards stand outside it keeping people away. Near the gate entrance is a crack in the wall that looks large enough to for a Wizard to sneak through...
