			Missions are available from the tavern of each city. Those missions mostly involve getting a package from one town to another, escorting a trade convoy or killing a specific member of another gang. Upon reaching certain goals, like being appreciated by one of the evan factions as the merchants or the deathrace mafia, you'll also have access to 'narrative' missions. Those missions spans on multiple events and are given from specific npc characters from various places in the evan city. An early example of mission you'll get from Somerset are 'Racing for the mob', obtained in the Dexter tavern involving doing some dirty work fror the deathrace mafia or 'Angel of Mercy' given out from the somerset hospital.

	The continent of Evan has a stable economy, with trades of food and other resources run by both players and npc; the economy of each city is affected by players and traders actions, so expect price fluctuations relative to the scarcity of certain resources in certain area and pirate activity. As every action in the game world, it takes time to carry goods from north to south and vice versa. In game terms, one month passes for every week of real time.

			== What is this all about ==

			Dark Wind is a game centered on vehicular combat. As such it revolves around managing your vehicles, your drivers and gunners, and when you're rich enough to afford an outpost all of your own, the production of your factory (mostly car and weapons related, of course).
			You can partecipate to town event, take courier missions, travelling from town to town or scouting an area to keep the rampant piracy at bay; all those activities are handled from the web interface and played out on the game client.
