Dunkelstadt - the ultimate playing surface for all Dungeon-Gamers and goalers! All hail - stranger, friend or whatever you decide to be. Welcome to this place, a secret place, a world between twilight and first light, entwined around dark legends evolved since the dawn of time. The venerable ancients, once gave this place the name: Dunkelstadt. The houses nestle up against the towering hillside of Nieselberg and its narrow alleys and walkways carve their way deep into the mountain ranges which are as old as the world. You will find unnoticed hideouts and dark corners, dead-ends, switchbacks and treacherous pathways that lead no-where.

Tonight – 1st December, 2008 – there is a lovely Venus Moon Jupiter combination. It occurs in the cape of Sagittarius and will be visible low in the west just after sunset. For those of you at northern latitudes have a look between 16:35 – 18:00 in the western sky. For those of you in the south you will see it about 30 minutes after sunset depending on what that local time will be. In the northern hemisphere the Moon and Venus both pass underneath Jupiter. Another way of looking at this is to say that Jupiter “is over the moon”. Thus Venus which is a bright evening star at the moment will be radiating Jupiter and the Moon as the moon-god “Sin” will also be bestowing a blessing on Jupiter. Apart from looking beautiful in the sky the visual astrology meaning is a great blessing on the “Crown Prince”, the person who is second in command. So firstly if you have a clear sky tomorrow night then do take the chance to have a look at this beautiful combination and secondly watch for signs of t
