; The Monastery of Lugwey is the first "real" world I am creating with ATL.
; Its purpose (apart from being playable) is to help with the development of
; Atlantis by showing potential deficits, bringing up new ideas, etc.

define-place "Gate"
	description "An old, partly moss-covered stone wall rises up in front of
	you. Set in it, a wooden gate, reinforced with rusty iron strips.
	One wing is open, permitting a view into the space beyond.
	Behind you, the dusty track leads off into the forest.

	A monk is sitting in the gate house, obviously bored."

define-place "Monastery grounds"
	description "Paths criss-cross well-kept lawns. Here and there, roses bloom
	in a flower bed. On one side stands the main monastery building
	with its calm, ancient dignity. On the other, the gardens, stables
	and agricultural outhouses speak of a simple working life."

	his back to you."
