CAVE OF DESIRES
Dotting the island are several cave entrances. Some are small, but some are large enough to explore. Citizens should be careful, however, the tunnels twist and turn, eventually leading into deep catacomb structures under the island and it is easy to lose one’s way in the darkness. Cave entrances can be found to the south First District's park, in the cliff face to the East, deep north in the Forest of Yearning and in the mountains. BACK TO TOPFOREST OF YEARNING
Surrounding both Lake Eresos and Ambracia, the Forest of Yearning is thick with lush and green trees, small fruit bushes and clear springs. It is filled with fauna and flora as diverse as one can imagine in an untouched world, and the Natives are very protective of it. With good reasons: for those silent and lucky enough, sightings of nymphs dancing to pans’ flutes may occur. Lastly, game can be hunted or trapped only once characters have secured a permit from the Natives. BACK TO TOPLAKE AMBRACIA (Ἀμβρακία)
The clear waters of Lake Ambracia come from the mountain and the forest and is the purest water that can be found on Pathema. The lake is filled with all sorts of freshwater fish, most of which can be consumed. But be careful if you go fishing, because your hook could hurt one of the mermaids living at the bottom of the lake. Or worse, you could wake up the hydra monster rumored to lurk beneath the surface of the Lake. Swim at your own risk...
BACK TO TOPLAKE ERESOS (Ερεσός)
Connected to Lake Ambracia through the Voluptas canal, Lake Eresos is the smaller of the two lakes. Hidden further in the Forest of Yearning, there is still a path in the woods that leads to it. Its size makes it ideal for swimming, as its waters are warmer than the ones of Lake Ambracia, just as the lush banks that border it are the perfect place for a lazy afternoon nap. Strangely enough, the lake is not frequented by the Natives and when asked about it, they will simply smile and change the subject. For those adventurous enough to take a dip in the waters, they might find themselves being aroused to a point where sexual release might be the only thing they can think of... BACK TO TOPNATIVE HOUSING
Example of Native housing
The natives are blessed with better housing than that of Gods’ guests. This is because they have no problem at all with worshipping them the way they wants them too. While guests are allowed to travel freely through this district, please note that the Natives aren't exactly happy that they are there. Native housing normally consists of large single story houses that have a Mediterranean feel and look to them. It is not possible for non Natives to rent or own property in this area. These houses are first and third district.
BACK TO TOPFIRST DISTRICT PARK
This is a large lush park with a large fountain in the center. There are walkways, running paths, benches, picnic tables, and even a gazebo by the pond. It is well-tended and plants and trees dot the landscape, providing areas of shade for those wishing to lay back and relax in the plush grass.
BACK TO TOPCOLLARED HOUSINGThe first and fourth districts hold most of the guest housing. Starter houses Greek styled. These houses generally have a living space with a fireplace, a sleeping space and a bathing space. The bathing space consists of a large wooden tub that one must fill with water they heat themselves. There is a toilet and this is perhaps one of the few modern technological items in the houses. There are no fridges or stoves. Everything is cooked and/or heated over the fire. The houses are grouped together in one area of this district. There are houses that some collared have asked for from the Gods or houses that have been gifted to them, these can also be found in the housing area.
More information regarding the housing can be found here. BACK TO TOPSECOND DISTRICT PARK
While not as nice and not as big, it's still a pleasant place. There are also paths and walkways, some benches, and the occasional tree. It's decently maintained, although not nearly as well, and there's a small pavilion for public gatherings.

LIBRARY (βιβλιοθήκη)
With three floors, and shelves upon shelves of books, there's a lot of reading material in here for anyone who wants to try to tackle it and a lot of fiction— surprisingly, not all of it is dirty, although a vast majority is! There's even an entire section devoted to self-help books for improving and spicing up one's sex life, though that's rarely ever a problem for the natives. They're a creative, adventurous sort when it comes to that sort of thing. It also appears that many books have mysteriously turned up here, regarding information from other worlds, including myths and legends.

 The arena stadium is the circular outdoor area where matches are held. There are spectator stands that circle all around and two observation balconies that stand to the north and south.
