Lodi

The Valley of Lodi is a special place that exists only for those under level 21. It is something of a dark place, where one may encounter cave bats, wildcats, sheep, and a number of intelligent humanoids who have quests to give. Though all are fairly easy and accessible to those new to Aetolia, two of the quests do require that you leave Lodi to complete them. It is further rumoured that there is a secret passage in the back of the caves, and you would do well to discover it.

While in Lodi, a new player is protected from attacks by older players, and older players will, in fact, quickly be ejected by virtue of one rather large copper dragon.

If you don't know your way to Lodi by foot, and if you have use of the PORTALS ability (only for people under level 21 - type STAT to see if you have any portal trips left), you may go SOUTH from the location that PORTALS takes you to.
