On the 18th March the hall of heroes opened. Unlabelled on the map, it was found be clicking here
This leads to the Hall of Heroes.
The Hall of Heroes is a monument to the great legends of Altador. Twelve enormous statues stand in a circle, King Altador foremost among them.
In the back-right corner of the room stands a rather familiar looking Janitor.
You approach the janitor. He looks strangely familiar.
"Well hello," he says. "Pretty hall we got here, eh? Lovely statues. Too bad it's so dimly lit. I think this button here is supposed to do something, but I can't figure out what."
Clicking on the button doesn't seem to do anything except make the Janitor mad.
Step 1: Click the button anyway
You push the button. Nothing appears to happen
You approach the janitor. He looks strangely familiar.
"I TOLD YOU! It doesn't do anything!! Why did you push it anyway?! RAARGH!!" The janitor flails his mop around angrily.
Talking to the Archivist suggests he is aware of the button, and he recomends looking for a book.
i31.photobucket.com/albums/c361/Jibbles95163/librarybook.jpg[/img]The archivist says, "Yes, that button in the Hall of Heroes... the janitor has spoken to me about it. I'm not sure what it's supposed to do, either, or how to fix it... perhaps there's a book here in the archives that might tell me something."
The book you are looking for is actually holding up his desk!
Step 2: Click the book holding up his desk highlighted in red in the picture above.
The archivist says, "You can't have that book! I'm using it to stabilise the table."
The archivist says, "Yes, I'm using that book to stabilise this table. The bottom of the table leg is perfectly flat, but it's exactly three inches short. If only I had something to replace it..."
You now need to find the other new area of Altador, the Perfectly Flat Rock Quarry. This is found by clicking on a tiny little tree at the bottom of Altador. I have highlighted the tree in yellow on this copy of the map:
This quarry, on the edge of Altador, seems to be filled with nothing but perfectly flat rocks.
Two quarry workers argue in the quarry. "It's a perfectly flat rock quarry!" one shouts. "No, it's a perfectly flat rock quarry!" shouts the other.
What you are looking for is a three-inch perfectly flat rock.
Step 3: Click the rock highlighted in red in the picture above.
You find a Perfectly Flat Three-Inch Rock. How extraordinary!
With the Perfectly Flat Three-Inch Rock in hand, go back to the Archivists Office and swap the book for the rock.
Step 4: Return to the Archivists Office and click the book again.
You replace the book with the Perfectly Flat Three-Inch Rock. It's an exact fit, and the table is completely stable!
The archivist says, "What a fascinating book. It appears to be completely blank, except for a prologue! Why would someone print a mostly blank book?"
The book is now on the examining table (highlighted in red in the picture in red). Clicking on it will allow you to read it. A copy of the book is found on this page by
clicking here.If you now return to the Hall of Heroes, you will find that you can click on the various statues in the middle of the room. All the statues can be viewed by
clicking here.i31.photobucket.com/albums/c361/Jibbles95163/lookup.jpg [/img]
This is a statue of Jerdana, the Protector.
Clicking at the very very top of those statues (as highlighted in red on the picture above) will 'look up' to the ceiling.
Behind one of the statues you will now find a jar of oil and a rag.
Step 5: Look at all the statues until you find some oil.
Behind the statue's base, you notice a jar of oil and a rag.
Take this oil to the Janitor and he will let you oil the button and press it again.
Step 6: Go back to the Janitor and press the button again.
"Oh, you found the oil I use to polish the plaques! Good idea! Maybe it can free up the gears. Go ahead and put some on the button mechanism, and we'll see what happens."
You push the button.
Suddenly, gears begin to grind, and the great ceiling above you opens up, admitting much more light to the room!
"Argh! Now it's light, and I'll have to go back to mopping instead of guarding this button! Curse you!" But you think he means "curse you" in a friendly way.
This opened up a set of stairs (highlighted in red above), which lead to an observatory.
After climbing hundreds of stairs, you find yourself in some kind of dome-shaped room atop the Hall of Heroes.
Also, looking at the ceiling above the statues now shows some gems!
Only one last step currently remains, and it is quite possible that we shouldn't really be doing it yet. Join the Astronomy Club. There is nowhere to click, just a link to follow.
Step 7: Click
Here to join the Astronomy Club.
Please note, we don't know if we should be doing this yet! You look at the flyer on the bulletin board. It seems to be advertising an Astronomy Club!
"Join the Astronomy Club! With your very own telescope, learn to search the heavens for interesting cosmological phenomena, see ancient nebulae, and identify constellations!"
"Hi! We'd be glad to have you in our club!"
The president of the Astronomy Club welcomes you warmly. "Our Astronomy Club is growing by the day! Apparently we're the only club in Altador that's actually accepting new members at the moment."
