Narrator Concepts
The Narrator can provide background setting details for role-play areas in your region.

The best narrators are those which describe things that players would know in-character from being in that region, but that are not obvious from looking around.

For example, you can link areas together using directional descriptions such as "to the north, you see 

Narrators are also virtual sign posts, providing a common street and location naming scheme for your region when modern-style street signs are not present.

Narrator Setup

 * 1) Create a 10.0m x 10.0m x 0.5m prim from a cube.
 * 2) Set it 2% transparent so you can see it with CTRL-ALT-T
 * 3) Set the texture to DEFAULT TRANS
 * 4) Drop in the Myriad Lite Narrator script
 * 5) Customize the script variables in the "CUSTOMIZE THIS" section
 * 6) (optional) Wear a Myriad Lite HUD
 * 7) Step into the prim to see the narration description
 * 8) Step out of the prim, and back in to verify that the narrator does not spam a second message to you
