Scenic Guide to the Universe

Tyrian
Dining: Though only recently habitable, Tyrian features some capable cooking. There is little outstanding about most of the establishments, unfortunately. The Terrace de Rock is a lovely dining hall in the city of Rockenheimer where mineral creatures can dine to their delight on tasty quartz and feldspar dishes. For our reptilian cousins, there is a fine selection of delicacies tuned to the discriminating grubbite. No finer mealworms can be found this side of the galaxy. Sadly, there is only one dining establishment for humans: another chain in the Interstellar House of Gruel. This one is even more miserable than the one located in the toejam of Torm. Avoid at all costs and try the mealworms instead. Culture: There is only a rudimentary culture on Tyrian, but it does boast a fair number of lovely recreation camps for younger kids. Rockland is a fine example of these joyous facilities. For only 2400 Cs you can send your unloved one away to slave in the beautiful quartz and feldspar mines, where they will learn all about geological instabilities, gaseous substances, forced marches, and especially large-scale mountain sculpture. It's an experience no kid would ever forget! Mineralists will also be able to gaze in wonder at the incredibly varied geology of the surface strata. Worth a look. Entertainment: Most visitors come to Tyrian to watch the beautiful floating rocks. Every two months Microsol features a new upheaval where you can see these giant rocks literally rip themselves out of the surface. One note of caution, though. Unfortunately, this is extremely dangerous and they don't know in advance exactly which rocks will fly off. But, for a small fee, they will arrange hospital pickup and quick to-go funeral services. |  | "Send your kids and take the vacation at home." "Culture is mostly left behind." "Avoid the rocks."
