0 ADVANCEDSTANCE~
Syntax: combat <style>
Advanced stances can be learned after you have become a grand master in
two normal stances. These stances are much better than the others.
MANTIS: Requires CRANE and VIPER before it can be learned. This stance
combines a very strong defence with lightning fast counter attacks.
DRAGON: Requires BULL and CRAB before it can be learned. This stance
uses very powerful attacks, as well as protecting the fighter from injury.
TIGER: Requires BULL and VIPER before it can be learned. Probably the
most aggressive of all the stances, this style utilizes very powerful and
lightning fast attacks.
MONKEY: Requires CRANE and MONGOOSE before it can be learned. The only
affect of this stance is to completely nullify the advantages of your
opponents stance.
SWALLOW: Requires MONGOOSE and CRAB before it can be learned. This is
the most defensive of all the stances, combining agile dodges with the
ability to 'roll' with an attack, helping prevent injury.

Before you can cast a spell, you have to practice it. The more you practice,
the higher chance you have of success when casting. Casting spells costs mana.
The mana cost decreases as your magical ability increases.
The <target> is optional. Many spells which need targets will use an
appropriate default target, especially during combat.
If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the spell name.
Example: cast 'cure critic' frag. Quoting is optional for single-word spells.
You can abbreviate the spell name.
When you cast an offensive spell, the victim usually gets a saving throw.
The effect of the spell is reduced or eliminated if the victim makes the
saving throw successfully.

0 CLANS~
Clans are a somewhat unique experience here, in that you gain
clanpoints for killing people, and are able to buy various things
with them. For now, you can only purchase Turrets, Spies, Tanks,

fun things to use clanpoints for.
Outside of being able to purchase the items listed above, clans can
also attack each other's Castles, or spy on one another to learn more
about their infrastructures.
Eventually, a mini-game system will be implemented for raiding clan
castles, and clan leaders will be allowed to purchase vnums and design
their own castles. Clan recalls (secondary recalls) are a possibility,
as are numerous other things (eq, guardian mobiles, etc).

0 GOLCANDA BEAST DARK GOLCANDA~
A vampire's inner beast plays a large part of a vampire's power and largely
determines the fashion in which a vampire fights.
GOLCANDA - Golcanda is attained by casting blue magic spells
until your beast reaches 0. Generally, golcanda vampires take less damage
then a beast vampire, at the expense of dealing less damage. Golcanda
vampires also suffer fewer daytime penalities than beast vampires, but are
weaker at night.
BEAST - Beast is obtained from berserking until your beast
reaches 100 (it will continue to raise up to 200). Beast vampires deal
more damage than golcanda as well as take more damage. Beasts get a great
frenzy and are stronger at night than golcanda's, while much weaker at
day.
DARK GOLCANDA - Dark golcanda is obtained by killing other vampires
after you have reached golcanda. This can take a very long time to obtain
and many vampires never achieve this level. Dark Golcanda are the most
powerful vampires overall, but take a lot of active pk to achieve.
~
4 GOTO~
Syntax: goto <location>
GOTO takes you to a location. The location may be specified as a vnum,
as the name of a mobile, or as the name of an object.

already present, or if it is SOLITARY and has one (or more) characters
already present.
Some useful numbers for new imms are:
Limbo: 2, The Temple of Midgaard: 3001, The Entrance to Mud School: 3700,
The Chat Room: 1200, The Dark Crypt: 30001, The Temple Altar: 3054,
Hell: 30000.

just to show off to your friends ;).
~
0 HELP~

~
0 HIDE SNEAK VISIBLE~

Syntax: VISIBLE
If you successfully HIDE, then other characters can't see you. If you
attack while hidden, the surprise attack will inflict one and a half

higher level than you.
~
0 HOME~

From that point on you will recall to that point rather than the Temple
of Midgaard (although you still go to the Templar Altar if you die).
A home cannot be a safe room.
~
0 HUMANITY~
Humanity determines exactly what a cyborg is; either pure machne or
a half-breed. Humanity can be either good or bad, in it's own unique
way. A lower humanity will give increased damage and extra attacks;
at the expense of 2x the normal casting lag, 1/2 the normal regen rate,
and a lower parry/dodge ability in addition to randomly going berserk.
On the other hand though, a higher humanity doesn't grant the same
damage and attack bonuses, but also doesn't incur any of the penalties.
~
0 HURL~
Syntax: hurl <name>
Syntax: hurl <name> <direction>
This ability allows you to hurl the target into walls, through exits, or
through doors. Hurling someone through an exit does a little damage.

doors does three times as much. If you don't specify a direction to hurl
the target, it will be random (north, south, east or west). You cannot
hurl someone who is already injured.

General Commands:

Other Notes:
You start at rank 1, Apprentice. Ranks go upward from
there into Initiate, Guardian, Knight, Master, and
finally Lord.
Ranks affect nearly every aspect of being a Jedi, and
have a random chance to increase each TICK based on
your levels of Attack, Stance, and Defense.
Jedi are limited in the equipment they can wear without
suffering SEVERE penalties to combat. You can wear
equipment on your FEET, ABOUT, and BOTH HOLD slots
without any penalty. Other equipment is allowed to be
worn as rank increases. So an Apprentice can only SAFELY
use 4 pieces of equipment, whereas a Lord can SAFELY use
13.
You must also sabercraft your weapons to be able and
perform combos. This makes it unuseable by any non-Jedi,
but also greatly enhances it.
You can only have a total of 50 levels of power between
all of your combined force powers. This count does not
include Attack, Stance, and Defense levels. It also does
not include your levels in Light, Neutral, or Dark. This
is purely a raw count of the total of all your individual
force power levels.
Once you learn something, you are FOREVER UNTIL DETOX stuck
with it. This applies to anything under jedigain. Also,
Light Side powers can not be used if your Dark Side is
greater than 4. Dark Side powers can not be used if your
Light Side is greater than 4. Keep this in mind.
Equipment Chart (Total Eq Safe To Wear):
Apprentice: 4 pieces
Initiate : 5 pieces
Guardian : 6 pieces
Knight : 8 pieces
Master : 10 pieces
Lord : 13 pieces

Know stances and counter-stances by heart.

~
0 PKADVICE~
General tips that may help you progress your character.
Below is an order of importance, that if followed, may
help you in this game quite well.
--- Good Order of Importance ---
1. Character Progression (This includes status, etc.)
2. Friends and Allies.(People you make treaties with, etc.
3. The Mud. (The Vortex)
NOTE: Never become too emotionally
attached to anyone in this game.
Even in real life, it can help you.
It saves you a lot of trouble.
The order of importance above, if followed, will allow
you to progress throughout the mud fairly well. However,
friends and allies may become quick enemies because your
character progression is a level higher in importance
(You just may have to decap an ally to progress your
character via status, or whatever). If they're status for
you, take it. But beware, they see you as status for them
as well.
Reassure your friends and allies, that the playerkill is
not personal, if need be. A lot of people tend to flip out,
but think of this game like Mortal Kombat in versus mode.
Are you just go to stand still and do nothing because he is
your friend? Of course not. You're going to fight for the
sake of winning. And in the end, you know its all fun and
games. You also know that the person sitting beside you
is still your friend.

-1 APOCRYPHIC POWERBLOCK POWERBLOCKS POWER BLOCK~
Powerblocks are what define your character. Each school has a set list
of powers and skills that you can train. Choose your schools wisely as you
can only learn 3. Powerblocks, however, are not without some downfalls.
First, when you class Apocryphic, you set a "Race" for yourself, and with
this comes 4 blocks that you are restricted from using. Aside from that
however, the only other restriction to powerblocks is that there are
opposites which can not be used together.
To see the list of schools and powers that you have use the power command.
The Powerblocks are:
Fire Water
Earth Wind
Holy Evil
Time Space
Plant Animal
Arcane Luck
Order Chaos
Life Death
*** You may not have a school, and it's opposite ***
To advance a school, use power gain <school1/school2/school3>
To add a school, use gainpower <school>

The following are a few examples of quest types:
* Find the object/s. Examples: Find 5 different coloured potions, Find a
pitch black longsword that flames brightly, Find a dragon dagger, belt
and bracer, etc.
* Kill the mob/s. These can be hunt down and kill, or simple placing the
player in the same room as the mob/s. Can also be combined with finding
objects - Example: Find and kill two different dragons and bring me
their claws.
* Solve a puzzle. For example find a certain room, solve a riddle in an
area, or successfully get out of a maze. These are particularly good
when several players of different ability are competing in the quest.
* Duel: A one-on-one fight pitting either a player against a mob, or
(more usually) a player against another player. The conditions will be
decided beforehand, and can include any conditions that both sides
agree on. Example: No sanctuary, no potions (or maybe a limited number),
no spells, no weapons, or whatever.
* P-K Quest: Like a duel, but involves several players on either side.
Although the sides don't have to be equal in number, it is generally a
good idea to make sure they are roughly equal in power.
* There are also several more obscure quests that can be run - for
example you could require that the player brings you 3 small green
eggs, then load mob 30005 into the players room. Another battle might
involve no melee - all combat must be with missile weapons.

more players to participate in. The rewards for such quests can be in
the form of specially modified equipment. A number of quest points-worth
will be allocated depending on the difficulty of the quest, using the
following guidelines for point costs (QP's = Quest Points):
Stats (Str/Dex/Int/Wis/Con): 20 QP's per +1, max allowed is +3 per stat.
Hp/Mana/Move: 5 QP per +1, max allowed is +25 on each.
Hitroll/Damroll: 30 QP's per +1, max allowed is +5 on each.
Ac: 10 QP's per -1, max allowed is -25.
Once a certain affect (str, hitroll, ac, etc) is selected, it cannot be
chosen again for that item even if you didn't select the maximum allowed
amount. Choosing to have penalties on an item will not decrease its
cost, although some Quest Makers may allow extra points if you select a
few disadvantages on the item.
For more information, type 'quest'.

QUIT leaves the game. You may QUIT anywhere, although there is an experience
penalty for quitting outside of Midgaard. When you re-enter the game you will
be back in the same room.
QUIT automatically does a SAVE, so you can safely leave the game with just one
command. Nevertheless it's a good idea to SAVE before QUIT. If you get into
the habit of using QUIT without SAVE, and then you play some other mud that
doesn't save before quitting, you're going to regret it.
There is no RENT in this mud. Just SAVE and QUIT whenever you want to leave.

0 RULES~
We don't like to make too many rules, it kills the fun. However,
we do expect the few rules we do make to be obyed. Also, remember
that these rules are a mere guideline, DO NOT skirt the rules and
then hide behind them, IE morting someon for 59 seconds just because
you can. Such activities will be dealt with harshly. -The Staff
*Having multiple characters, or "alts", is a privelage. Not a
right. Any abuse of this privelage will be harshly dealt with
on an individual basis. Abuse includes, but shall not be
limited to, any of the following: Protecting a weaker alt in
any form with a stronger one (threats, direct action, etc);
using one alt to mort a person, then another to cap them;
anything else -lame- that you can possibly think of.
*Do not, under any circumstance, abuse a bug for personal gain
or otherwise. You abuse bugs and we will abuse you. Report
things to an immortal promptly, or note them.
*No permenant morting of any player, for any reason. Cap or
let go. Holding a person any longer than 1 minute by any
means, INCLUDING POISON OR OTHER DAMAGE OVER TIME SPELLS,
is illegal. Any person, or persons caught or reported
doing this will suffer an immediate penalty to their status.
And yes, we -can- give you a negative status.
*No botting. Help 'bot' for more detailed information.
*No cap trading / status rings. Feeding is perfectly fine
because -THIS IS A PK MUD, IT HAPPENS-. Telling a person
they can cap you in an attempt to force them to violate
this rule is a violation in itself.
*Do not whine, bitch, gripe, moan, complain, et al. in excess
about things to the staff. Note us your complaint, problem,
or whatever -ONE TIME-. We'll deal with it as needed.
*Try to keep all personal attacks, slurs (racial or otherwise),
and excess profanity to a minimum. Just because this is a PK
MUD doesn't mean we can't act somewhat civilized.
*Immortals have the final say on -ANYTHING-. If you feel you
were treated unjustly by a lower member of the staff, then
write a note to one of the implementors (read the wizlist)
explaining the issue and what happened.
*Above all else, -HAVE FUN-.

~
0 SHADOW~
Shadows are adept assassins and spies, but they perform almost any task
if it is profitable enough. They usually hold several aliases and keep
their true identities secret to everyone. Living solitary lives, Shadows
work alone in most cases. When they do team with others, their true goals
are normally oblivious to others. Although Shadows will take a life without
hesitation, most are not of evil alignment. Shadows are almost always
neutral (but never good). They work for profit, not pleasure. Shadows rarely
join guilds. They work quiety, keeping a low profile. They like to stay away
from any attachments. Guilds may be a source of equipment and information, but
Shadows are extremely resourceful individuals. Whenever a Shadow if discovered,
he disappears without a trace. Or does he?
Shadows have the following commands:
Mastery - Display your masteries, and skills gained from each. Learn new
masteries using mastery learn <string>. First level masteries
cost 250 primal. All other levels are achieved through using
the first skill associated with them.
Backstab - Initiate a fight from the shadows; doing considerable damage.
Circle - A weaker, in-combat backstab relying on speed and stealth.
Shadow - Allows you to silently follow an indivudual.
Conceal - Disappearing is not only an art, but a necessity.
Runeweave - Shadow are somewhat practiced in a few magical arts that prove
key to their survival.
Traproom - Traps are one of the key skills of a practiced Shadow.
Thirdeye - Creates a small magical eye that you can look through.
Tumble - Key to escape, a mastered Shadow can grapple and throw their
opponent in combat.
A novice Shadow must hold some attachment to a guild in order to first learn
the basis of their skills. A thieves guild leader is typically sought out,
for thieves and Shadows tend towards similar motives now and then, leading to a bit
of an unformal alliance between the two sects. After learning the basics of each
mastery, a Shadow will need to further their masteries on their own.
Also read help MBACKSTAB, MTRAP, MRUNE, and MTRACKING for details on each mastery.

strong blocking defence.
CRAB: A low, defensive fighting stance which uses agile footwork and
rolling with attacks in order to reduce your injuries.

ensure that by the time your opponent makes their attack, you've moved

you become one of the Spirits of the Damned. The advantage of this is the
ability to use a class, against mobs, advance your class, and fight other
players in the arena. However, you CANNOT be involved in PK in any way,
you cannot pk, cannot be pk'd, and cannot interfere in others fights. In
order to rejoin the realm of pk, you must use the REPENT command. Suicide
is a powerful command, in that it allows you to play as an avatar without
fear of being pk'd. Due to this powerful aspect, it also carries a heavy
price, so be warned before you use it to avoid a fight. The cost is your
status * 200 (minimum of 1000, maximum of 10000), which is deducted from
your max hp/mana/move.
Anyone who is a Spirit of the Damned will have their clan set to DAMNED, and
cannot change their title until they repent. Spirits of the Damned may also
take part in deathmatches.
YOU MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 10,000 in each of hp, mana and move.

0 TICK~
Many of the game actions are based upon interval timers, including combat,
most autonomous monster actions, hp/mana/move regeneration, spell duration,
weather, and area resetting.
Of these timers, the hp/mana/move regeneration timer is popularly called the
'tick'. Ticks on this mud average 30 seconds of real time, but the actual
amount varies randomly from 15 seconds to 45 seconds.
Area resetting happens roughly every 3 minutes if no one is in the area; less
often (15 minutes) if some one is. Also note that objects lying on the ground
will not be regenerated if anyone is in the area when it resets.

limited - they cannot move, quit, or do many other commands.
UNTIE will untie a player who is currently tied up. A player cannot
untie themself.
GAG places a gag over the mouth of the target player, who must first be
tied up. This command will also remove a gag. A player can only remove
a gag from themself if they are no longer tied up. It is not possible
to talk or use any of the channels while gagged.
BLINDFOLD places a blindfold over the eyes of the target player, who must
first be tied up. The blindfold can also be removed with this command.
A player can only remove a blindfold from themself if they are no longer
tied up. Unsurprisingly, blindfolded players cannot see.

damage per blow for that weapon type), spell immunities (those types
of spell do no damage to you), and skill immunities (they no long have

the character. You can also restrict a player's trust to less than their
natural level.
A trust of 0 means to use the character's natural level again.

0 VOODOO~
Syntax: Spell: cast voodoo <victim>
Ability: voodoo <victim> <action>
Voodoo magic allows the caster to do things to another player indirectly.
First, a body part of the victim is needed. The caster should hold this
part and cast the spell on the target (they don't have to be in the same
room). This will create the voodoo doll, which the caster the voodoo
commands on to interfere with the victim.
There are three voodoo actions. The first, 'Stab', is only of use as a
warning to the victim, or to cause annoyance. The second, 'Throw', will
hurl the victim from their feet and cause a small amount of damage. The
third and final action, 'Burn', will set the victim on fire, as well as
destroy the doll itself.

0 WOLF WEREWOLF~
Werewolves are creatures of the night, and notoriously hate Vampires with
a crazed passion. Werewolves are typically humans who have draw themselves
into a closer relationship to Gaia than others, and have therefore been
granted the awesome power that comes with being such a creature. Not only
do Werewolves have a close bond to Gaia, enhancing their natural senses and
skills, they are also able to channel vast ammounts of raw energy from the
moon at night. The power Werewolves draw from Gaia comes in the form of
certain disciplines centered around various animals in the natural flow of
life.
Werewolves have the following commands:
Disciplines - Display your disciplines. Learn new disciplines with
discipline learn <discipline>. You can view your
current knowledge in a certain discipline by using
discipline <discipline>.
Rage - Force yourself into a wild frenzy if your discipline
advancement is far enough.
Calm - Remove yourself from rage if your discipline advancement
is far enough.
Other commands are learned as you advance individual disciplines, and
there are far too many to be listed here.
