Deviant Sidhe who fled the decimation of their surface kingdoms centuries ago, what few that have made contact refuse to divulge anything about their mysterious race or their political or social structure. ~ E Avian~ No Avian settlements or systems of government are known, though it is rumored that a great Avian city, ruled by an elected council, lies far to the north of the Barony of Anon. However, no one has been there, and the Avians decline to comment on the matter. The only other evidence of the existence of this place is in Avian legend (see Avian History). ~ E Illithid~ Only one city of the Illithids is currently known to exist, and it is located in the great Psi Cavern, located far beneath the surface of Anon, in the Underdark. The city is ruled in a feudal manner, with several orders of nobility vying for power, all being dominated by the oldest and most powerful nobles. Illithids have little to do with other races, save perhaps the Drow. ~ E Kender~ The kender have only recently arrived on Anon, recently by the standards of the other races, and are ruled by their chieftains in the city of Kendermore, located near Solace. As can be expected, government is a random process in the Kender society, as everyone pretty much does what they desire. The city maintains a strong defense force, however, controlled and maintained by the chieftains. ~ E Dwarf~ The Dwarves of Anon are concentrated in one single kingdom, a remote, little- travelled place known simply as the Dwarven Kingdoms. Their system of Government is clan-based, with various clan chieftains taking turns ruling the kingdoms. The holdings of the Dwarves once extended as far south as lost Moria and as far west as the Northlands, but that was a long time ago. Some consider the Dwarves to be a dying race, though it is best not to say this within earshot of any Dwarves! ~ E Drow~ The Drow, or Dark Elves, are an evil, aggressive race that live in cities far beneath the surface of Anon. Only one is known by non-Drow, and it is so secretive even its name is not known. It is ruled by several noble houses, who are constantly battling to become First House, the house with the most say. Women hold all the positions of political power, and control the priesthood, which plays a vital role in Drow politics. This order answers only to their cruel and evil demon deity Lloth. ~ E Valley Elves~ The Valley of the Elves is inhabited by the aggressive, xenophobic Valley Elves, who are ruled by a small tribal-style council. Much like their sylvan cousins, their government is nominal, controlling mainly the organisation of scouting and warrior parties. ~ E Mirkwood~ This dark, mysterious wood is inhabited by a great number of Elves, most of whom answer to the Wood Elf kings, in their great wooden estate in the center of the forest. Government is indirect and erratic, however, the elves really only coming together in times of great crisis. ~ E Malathar~ The Duchy of Malathar was once one of the most powerful states on the planet. However, they suffered serious losses in the wars with Humanity and Dwarfkind, and now rule little territory outside the walls of ther impregnable fortress. It is ruled by a hereditary succession of Dukes and Duchesses, though government is heavily influenced by the mages and priests and their respective orders. They are strong allies with the Barony of Anon, with whom they trade via the River of Anon. ~ E Elf~ The elven race is smaller in number than the Humans, though it is almost as powerful. Its holdings consist of- THE DUCHY OF MALATHAR MIRKWOOD THE VALLEY OF THE ELVES THE CITY OF THE DROW For more information, type READ MALATHAR, READ MIRKWOOD, etc. ~ E Khellis~ The City of Khellis is surrounded by a thick, impenetrable marsh, inhabited by savage swamp fiends who have reduced the once prosperous trade center to near-ruin. It was ruled by the Warlords of Khellis, and their agents the Constables, but both orders have long since vanished and the city now relies on the guidance of their priests and veteran city guards. It is only a matter of time before this city falls, which is a pity as it lies on the only road that leads to the mysterious lands to the south east. ~ E Alandra~ A once great city that has since succumbed to decay, the city of Alandra controlled the lands now known as the Great Western Desert. Ruled by a clan of Wizards, this Magiocracy fell victim to a disastrous magical experiment that hurled it into another dimension, though it can still access the lands it once ruled that the cataclysm turned into a wasteland. It is now ruled in a manner by an elected Mayor, though he has little power. ~ E White Lotus Temple~ The Temple of the White Lotus is a small militaristic order of Monks who have a seperate community from the rest of Anon in their own right. The temple is actually a fortress, well-defended by elite monks and warriors. The holdings of the temple border on those of Midgaard and Solace, at the base of the Ringing Mountains. ~ E Camelot~ CAMELOT- A small but powerful state, the realm of Camelot lies to the south of the Barony of Anon, and is ruled by the just and wise King Arthur and his famous Knights of the Round Table. Camelot is on good terms with the Humans of Anon as well as the Elves of the northlands. ~ E Thalos~ NEW THALOS- New Thalos is what remains of Old Thalos, the most powerful state of Anon's distant past. It has become overrun by dangerous monsters such as the once-tame lamia pets of the ancient Thalosians, and mighty beholders. It is rumored that great treasure remains there still. ~ E Ofcol~ THE CITY OF OFCOL- The City of Ofcol rules over a large portion of the northlands, bordering on the Dwarven Kingdoms. It is a theocracy, ruled by an elite benevolent priesthood and its holy warriors. The people of Ofcol are somewhat xenophobic, and have little to do with other races. The city was constructed on the ruins of an ancient city populated by an unknown race, and it is rumored relics from this age can still be found. ~ E Solace~ THE CITY OF SOLACE- The territory of Solace covers both the city and the surrounding lands, including Crystalmir Lake. The city is ruled by elected officials, and a powerful military. The city has little to do with other states, preferring to remain neutral. ~ E Midgaard~ THE CITY OF MIDGAARD- The oldest city on the continent, the city of Midgaard took its name for the native name of their home world, which they abandoned in favor of Anon centuries ago. It is a nominal democracy, with the city being ruled by elected officials such as the mayor and the constable. The city was once powerful, but sustained serious losses in the kinstrife wars and now has little control outside the bounds of the city. ~ E Freeport~ THE CITY OF FREEPORT- A semi-democratic state- this port is a major trade center, and controls a large portion of the Sea of Anon. The city is responsible for maintaining order in this pirate-ridden region, a task it isn't always very good at. The city is ruled by a council comprised of the Admirals and chief merchants of the city, who are elected by members of their respective followers- the navy and the powerful merchants' guild. Corruption is rife in this organisation, with powerful pirate lords paying off prominent members in exchange for immunity from prosecution. ~ E Barony Anon~ THE BARONY OF ANON- The most powerful of the Human states, the majority of this Barony takes the form of the City of Anon. Ruled by a long line of Barons, the City is feudal in nature, though the head of the city is a CAstellan who is appointed by the Baron from a list of candidates nominated by the citizens of the Barony. This position is extremely important, as the Castellan is responsible for the defense and well-being of the city, and reports only to the Baron, who spends most of his time on his country estate to the north of the city. ~ E Human~ By far the most populous of the races, the Humans naturally have several states. These are- THE BARONY OF ANON NEW THALOS THE CITY OF FREEPORT THE CITY OF OFCOL THE CITY OF SOLACE CAMELOT THE CITY OF MIDGAARD WHITE LOTUS TEMPLE THE CITY OF ALANDRA THE CITY OF KHELLIS For more information, type READ CAMELOT, READ OFCOL, etc. ~ E tome politics political structure~ THE POLITICAL STRUCTURE OF ANON- Although the races of Anon now mingle in relative harmony, each of them still has their own seperate states, most of these semi-independent city states.

Indeed, since the number of Darklings that have emerged into the world of Humanity can be counted on two hands, it is impossible as yet to make any real conclusions. It is known that the Darklings are deviant Sidhe who fled the destruction of their feudal-style kingdoms centuries ago, but it is unknown what sort of society they have formed in the Underdark, and whether they consort with the other races of this realm. However, even the Illithids were surprised by their emergence, so it seems unlikely. It is also unknown why they have suddenly chosen to emerge, though this will doubtless be made known in the years to come. ~ E Dryad~ As Dryads rarely live together in communities it is difficult to assess social classes or structure. Generally, all Dryads of both sexes are considered equal. However, one can easily lose great status among fellow Dryads by showing a lack of proper respect or love for nature. Dryads that do live in communities usually have a central figure (always female), who decides on the general activities of the group. A fine example of this is the Dryad Grand Guildmistress's Tree, in the Woods of Insanity (see Cochrane, X., "Life among the Dryads of the Beth's-es'N'Biririni"). Dryads actually place a higher value on the life and well-being of flora and fauna than they do any sentient race, including their own. Dryad males are extremely rare, and are not often seen outside the breeding communities Dryads form every 7 years when they are fertile. Such males are in general inferior to the females, though this is due more to lack of proper training and experience rathr than any inherent flaw. ~ E Illithid~ The single source of Illithid society comes from the Drow sorcerer Ree'faqx Zaqxney's tome "The Social Structure of Illithid Society", of which only fragments remain (the book was badly damaged during the Arch Mage Yaegar's battle with this vile Necromancer). Even this lengthy tome gives only the sketchiest details, which I shall attempt to summarise here. Illithid society values mental power and stamina above all else, and those who do not possess at least a competent level of mental prowess are considered sub-illithid, and relegated to the status of peon. That aside, status in Illithid society depends primarily on the status of one's clan, which can fluctuate greatly. Clan warfare is not common as in Drow Society; this is not to say it is non-existent (far from it!) but that conflicts are more generally resolved through a system of bribes and blackmail rather than armobed combat (physical and mental). Few illithids will ever resort to performing menial tasks (to them, anything that involves physical effort is too menial), as they have a large body of mind-controlled slaves of several other races for this. In fact, one of the gravest insults one can hurl at an Illithid is to insinuate he or she has ever performed manual labor. The sexes are equally represented at all levels in Illithid society, perhaps more than in any other society, as physical prowess is irrelevant, and in mental powers females can easily match (or surpass) males. ~ E Avian~ Almost nothing is known among non-Avians about avian society. Besides the common legends of their origin, little else has been discerned, as Avians are a remarkably close-mouthed (or beaked) lot when around non-Avians. It would be safe to generalise, however, that the ability to hunt, fly and fight are considered of vital importance to one's social standing. In addition, the lack of elderly Avians seen certainly seems to suggest a very martial culture, where long life is rare due to constant combat. It is known that Avians change greatly as they mature (see Afren, S. "The Physiology of Avians" (Anon Press, 406 A.C), and that fully mature Avians are considered the most important/powerful in any group of Avians. It is not even known if there are Avians who do not eventually develop the observed traits (Ibid., P.23), or if there are Avians who become so birdlike they rise to positions of highest authority. There seems to be an equal distribution of male and female avian adventurers, though it shouldn't be construed that Avian society is free from sexual discrimination per se. ~ E Kender~ Kender communities are loose-knit, clan-style organisations, with everyone possessing a more or less equal role in the community. Hunters also serve as warriors, guards and even cooks and porters if the need arise, while more learned kenders' tasks vary from education, spiritual duties, the collection of knowledge and the overseeing of construction. Males and females can be found performing any of the above tasks. Kender communities place no special importance on any one kender, as all contribute in their own particular way to the needs of society. One rather unique aspect of Kender society, however, is their attitude towards possessions. There is no real concept of personal possessions in Kender society- they genuinely believe in the concept of taking whatever you want from whoever. Kender houses are crammed with lots of interesting objects, and most of them at one stage or another belonged to someone else. And while Kenders have no problems with this philosophy, other races certainly do. Kenders do not think of it as theft, and violently object to being referred to as thieves. Adventuring Kender can come from all walks of life, as most possess the same skills, including the ability to move silently and quickly, and the many skills needed to collect "stuff", i.e, picking locks and detecting traps, as well as picking pockets. It is extremely hard to depress a kender, their fun-loving nature and desire to explore is irrepressible. ~ E Human~ It is extremely difficult to summarise human sociology, as there are as many types of social structures as there are independant communities of humanity. Generally, though, humans prefer vaguely deomcratic processes (they seem to enoy electing their leaders), and prize the freedom of the individual above all else, though they always knuckle under to the pressure of authority. Human society is very flexible, with upward and downward mobility usually quite easy for those with enough power, money and ability. For example, wealthy humans can buy their children places in mage or priest academies, regardless of their offspring's aptitude, and a little money and a big stick can allow even the lowest human to attain very high offices. Adventuring humans are generally religous warriors, travelling worshippers of Buddha who seek to spread the word of their god and crack a few skulls along the way. Other humans have little desire to leave their environments, as many still harbour old prejudices against the other races. Sexism has been all but eliminated from Human society, after females demonstrated during the race wars that they were more than capable of casting spells and swinging swords as the males. ~ E Dwarf~ Dwarven social structure is totally clan-based, with the social standing of each Dwarf directly related to their clan. And while most clans have members of many professions, certain clans favor mining and engineering, such as the Chiselled Rune Clan, or fighting and exploration, such as the Whirling Axe Clan. Warriors hold the highest position in any clan, irrespective of focus. For it is the warriors who defend the beleagured Dwarves from their many enemies. The leader of each clan is generally the eldest and most experienced Dwarf. Adventuring Dwarves are always warriors, as the other Dwarves, such as healers, miners and bards, have little interest in such activities. Female Dwarves are highly prized in Dwarven society, as they comprise only about 20% of the race's numbers. And since Dwarves reproduce so infrequently, they are often more guarded than even the Dwarves' precious minerals. Thus female adventurers are much rarer than males, not due to any sexism but due to simple numbers. ~ E Elf~ The Elves of Anon vary in their social structure according to the various sub-types of Elves. This chapter will focus on those Elves known as the High or True Elves, the Elves that deign to associate with humanity, and have a desire for adventure. High Elves come from a very rigid social structure, a complex feudal system where vertical ascension is very difficult. Basically, the path an Elf will take in life is determined to a very large extent by what their parents did- i.e, mages are the children of magicians, warriors the children of warriors, nobles the children of nobility, etc. Occasionally, young Elves who demonstrate an exceptional talent for a particular area, most particuarly the priesthood, but sometimes the Magical Arts, will be taken from their families and raised to become a member of that order. Other than that, an Elves fate in their very long lives is determined by their birth. While this may seem unfair to those used to a more flexible system, the Elves have no problem with the glass ceiling. There is perfect sexual equality in Elven society, though in general the males favor areas such as the warrior or magic arts, and females prefer the priesthood or healing arts. Adventuring Elves are most commonly those interested in the magical arts, though many also have significant martial experience. ~ E tome social history~ This tome attempts to give, in a brief outline, the social structure of the many races of Anon. For more information on the relevant races, type read Elf, Dwarf, Human, Kender, Avian, Illithid, Dryad or Darkling. ~ G none #31088 book history~ a History book~ This book is titled- "THE HISTORY OF THE KNOWN RACES OF ANON", by Xanafax.~ ~ trash 0 AO 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 P E Kender~ Of all the races on Anon, Kender are the least aggressive, but are inarguably the most irritating. Their coming through the portals to the land of Anon is said by most to be "an accident the Gods eternally regret", though usually in jest. Kender are irritating due to their irrepressive urge to "borrow" items of everybody and everything that comes their way, friend or foe, man or god. They do not consider this to be theft, as they do intend to return the item (but never seem to get round to it) and indeed to call a Kender a thief is a grave insult indeed. They care little for the affairs of other races, preferring instead to collect as many strange, exciting or unusual objects as they can. Kenders are great explorers, and a Kender can prove to be an invaluable guide when travelling to uncharted lands. They were not involved in the great war between the races that ravaged Anon for decades, and thus share none of the prejudices that Humans, Dwarves and Elves have acquired. They prefer instead to enjoy life, and they always manage to find something positive about every situation ( a classic example is the fearless Kender Trich who, just before he was eaten by a dragon, exclaimed- "Well, at least I won't have to repay that debt to Aod!". Kender are on good terms with the Dryads, whom they are fascinated by (and the Drayds are in return, greatly amused by the little people). They seldom stay in the one place for too long, preferring instead to satisfy their "Wanderlust". ~ E Illithid~ Little is know of this mysterious race. They emerged only recently from their deep underground lairs, and began to explore the surface world. No one knows why they suddenly chose to end their self-imposed isolation, or what their plans for the future are. It is not even known if the Illithids are indigenous to Anon, or if they arrived like all the other races through portals. Illithids are masters of Psionics, the powers of the mind. They have harnessed this latent mental ability possessed by all sentient creatures, and use it to great proficiency. They are incredibly jealous of their abilities, however, and refuse to teach it to any non-illithid. They have little dealings with other surface races, though explorers report that they are quite well-known in the depths of the Underdark, among Drow and Svirfneblin, Kuo Toan and Darkling. A legend has sprung up that Illithid feed upon the brains of other sentient creatures, extracting their brains from their heads while the victim still lives, and for this reason they are sometimes called "Mind Flayers". Illithids of course deny this rumor profusely, and say that it is a rumor perpetuated by their enemies, or that only a very few, evil Illithids engage in this foul practice. The greatest bar to an Illithid's ability to interact with other races is its hideous appearance (see below) and for this reason many shun the company of other races. However, some Illithids have become significantly powerful and respected to hold positions of importance in other communities. ~ E Avian~ Avians are one of the only adventuring race indigenous to the land of Anon, or at least partially indigenous. When the Immortals arrived in Anon, fleeing their homeworld, Lenny, their leader, met and became enamoured with a beautiful human princess. Their relationship prospered, and Lenny planned to make the princess his consort. Then another, evil Immortal began to court the princess, a foul individual named Hawk. He cast secret enchantments upon the princess, causing her to scorn the affection of Lenny and favor instead the attentions of Hawk. This reversal culminated one night in an attempt on Lenny's life by evil assasins who claimed to be working for the family of the princess. Lenny grew infuriated, and in his rage cast a horrid curse upon the princess and her kingdom, causing them to mutate into half-bird creatures, saying that "If the Princess was to court a Hawk, then she must needs be a Hawk too!" He cast out the Immortal Hawk, who slunk away and established an evil domain deep beneath the earth. Decades later the Avatar came across this cursed kingdom, and hearing their story, went to Lenny to object. Lenny was about to slay the Avatar for his impudence, when the Avatar (very hurriedly) explained that Hawk had used magical enchantments to sway the love of his princess, who had long since perished in anguish over her new form, and that she had always been true at heart to him. Lenny was devastated and went to remove the curse. But upon arriving at their kingdom, the people, who now called themselves Avians, told him they were happy with their new forms, and did not wish to return to humanoid form. Indeed they thanked Lenny for his gift, for most were ignorant of the reasons for their transformation, and the people now considered themselves beloved of Lenny. ~ E Human~ Humans are a young race, compared to Elf, Dwarf and Dryad, having come to Anon much later than them. The Humans of Anon came from many different worlds, as refugees, wanderers, explorers or fugitives. And, as Humans are wont to do, they quickly built towns and cities, and farmed the land, and hunted the local animals, and they became quite comfortable in their new home. Kingdoms were established quickly, and just as quickly brought down by rebellions, feuds, or war with their neighbors. Eventually a kind of stability came into being, with individual city states (such as Anon, the largest, and Midgaard, the first kingdom formed on Anon) establishing themselves domains independant of each other. Peace became even more advantageous when the Dwarves offered the hand of friendship, and both sides soon prospered from a lucrative trade of the Human-produced food and goods for the products of the Dwarven mines. Both races enjoyed this situation, and soon a powerful aliance was formed. It was never known who suggested war upon the Elves, or why it was suggested, but it was, and both races eagerly agreed. For over thirty years, Humans and Dwarves mercilessly assaulted the Elven kingdoms, reducing most of them to ashes, along with much of the lush forests of eastern Anon. It was then the Dryads stepped in, and negotiated a treaty to save their forests, and the war was ended, though the prejudices remained. Humans, no longer diverted by war, channeled their energies in other directions, and begin to enhance the physical, mental and spiritual development of their race. Academies were established far and wide to teach Humans this new school of thought that had developed, the Martial Arts. Humans excelled at it, but other races found it too difficult or boring, especially the Kender and the Dwarves. Now today, Humans are by far the most numerous of all races on Anon, and also one of the most powerful, thanks to their mastery of the Martial Arts. ~ E Dwarf~ Dwarves were the second race to emerge into the land of Anon, after the Elves. They quickly grew quite fond of this land, admiring the many tall, powerful mountain ranges which to their added delight they found were rich with valuable minerals. Soon Dwarven mines peppered every major mountain range on the continent, and some Dwarves had even crossed the Salt Sea to the New World in search of new ranges to mine. Dwarves paid little attention to the affairs of other races, save the Elves whom they kept a suspicious eye on, and the Kender, whom they banned upon threat of war of coming near their hoards of gems and metals. They continued to mine and smith, digging deep into the roots of the mountains of Anon, and discovering many wonders (and evils- the Dwarves warred long against tribes of Goblins who shared the mountain depths). When Humans arrived, they formed a close bond with the prosperous Dwarves, and an enduring alliance was forged that till this day remains unbroken by either side. And while this alliance benefited both Humans and Dwarves, it meant catastrophe for other races. Dwarves had long hated and feared Elves and their magical ways, for Dwarves detest magic, and Humans had been deeply jealous of the Elves' wealth and power. So both races made was against the Elves, and nearly succeeded in eradicating them. It was the intervention of the Dryads, who feared the loss of their deep forests in the war, who stopped the war, and made the Dwarves and Humans swear an oath to never again raise arms against any other race, or to ever again wantonly destroy the forests of Anon, as they had done during the war. The Dwarves agreed, and withdrew to their mountains. Gradually they succumbed to internal strife caused by boredom and isolation, and one by one the many Dwarven kingdoms collapsed and disappeared. Only a very few remain today, and they are but a shadow of the mighty kingdoms of their ancestors. ~ E Darkling~ Very little is known of this reclusive race, save for what travellers to their homeland or the rare Darkling adventurers have told. What is known is that Darklings are descendants of one of the oldest indigenous races of Anon, the magical, mysterious Sidhe. Centuries ago, the Sidhe first encountered the new races to Anon, the Elves, Humans and Dwarves. They fascinated these races with their rare, ethereal beauty, as well as with their incredible magical abilities. However, the fascination soon turned to greed, greed for Sidhe money from the Dwarves, greed for Sidhe beauty from the Humans and greed for their magical power from the Elves. Violence erupted, and the Sidhe were forced to flee, heading deep beneath the surface, away from their beloved lands, where they soon established a new civilization. Their race became one at one with the dark and with dark places, so much so that they all developed natural infravision, and their magic was adapted to suit their new environment. For centuries they remained hidden, seperate from all other races. Then younger Darklings, as they were now called, grew curious as to what lay without, and many set off to become adventurers, and thus contact with this race was regained. ~ E Elf~ Aeons ago, when the land of Anon first came into being, Elves were among the first races to emerge through the mystical portals that sprang up across the continent, and they quickly established themselves a powerful and extensive domain. They concentrated their settlements in the dense woodlands that then covered most of Anon, or build beautiful crystal fortresses high in the western mountains that seperate Anon from the Desert wastes. Centuries passed, and gradually the Elves fell from dominance, losing interest in the pursuit of power and wealth, and instead immersing themselves in the study of the magical arts. Generations of such research eventually resulted in the evolution of a race of Elves of which every member possessed latent magical talent, the ability to shape and mold the magical energies which flowed across Anon into whatever usage pleased them. Thus eventually the Elves became renowned mages, and kings and princes of all races sought them for their abilities, as well as their counsel, for Elves were counted among the wisest of all races, save the Dryad. And the Elves prospered, and lived in realtive harmony with their neighbors. Eventually, discord began to emerge, caused as is often the case by the jealousy of the "lesser" races, and war between Elves and the other races broke out. Combined armies of Dwarves and Humans drove Elves from their forests and their crystal palaces, at the cost of countless lives on both sides, for the Elves did not surrender their lands easily. This war raged for thirty years, until it was ended by the coming of the Dryads, who were angered at the desecration of their beloved forests by Human and Dwarf, and a peace was negotiated, for the mysterious dryads were greatly respected and feared. The races returned to their domains, and have since that day maintained an uneasy truce, though in truth many members of the warring races still hold a deep hatred for the others. Some say the Elves' natural arrogance and condescension to the "lesser" races brought about the war- others say it was the natural aggression of the Dwarves and Humans. Who is to say? ~ E Dryad~ Until very recently, the mysterious Dryads had lived apart from all other races, inhabiting secret glades in the deepest forests of Anon. They lived simple, peaceful lives, attuning themselves to the majestic forces of nature, and drawing magical energy from them that they could turn to any usage they wished. The Drayds were ruled by a wise and gentle immortal named Xanibdar, who had come with them from their home world many centuries ago, stepping through a portal to emerge in Anon. They had fled their own world, the name of which has been forgotten, to escape war and enslavement, and on Anon they found peace. For a time. War broke out between Human, Dwarf and Elf, the cause of which was considered trivial and immaterial to the spiritual Dryads, as was the (to them) petty war itself. Then the Humans and Dwarves stormed the once-lush forests of Anon, in search of Elves, and many thousands of acres of woodland was turned to barren waste in their relentless march. The Dryads grew angry, and emerged from their hidden realm, proving their existence to startled mortals who had previously thought them to be legend. Using their great powers and reputation, the Dryads brought the war to a halt, a relatively easy task as the Humans and Dwarves were then still relatively small in numbers and weak in magical skills. They did not do so out of sympathy for the Elves, for the Elves had scorned the Dryads when they arrived as if they were but simple primitives living wild in the forests. They did so to preserve what was left of their sacred woodlands. Since that day, Dryads have begun to interact with the races they once shunned, and have found much to love in them, especially the Kender, of whom they are exceedingly fond. Dryads are respected practitioners of the healing arts, as well as respected wielders of powerful battle magics. ~ E history book~ This slim tome contains a brief synopsis of the history of each of the major races of the Known World.

Solo'deru.~ ~ trash 0 AO 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 P E WEST~ The lands west of Anon are for the most part dry and arid, running to the foothills of the Weeping Mountains. To the northwest lie the halfling settlements of the Shire and Brandybuck, the history of which is well-known by the Kender Pippin. Beyond these lie the Human cities of Midgaard and Solace nestled in the rcoky foothills of the mountains. To the southwest small Gnome settlements can be found, below the beginnings of the more popular pass across the mountains, which leads to the lands of Mahn Tor, and the western Ocean, across which lies the Gnomish capital of Haven. It is rumored that air elementals and harpies imperil travellers who stray too far in the mountains here. The northern pass through the mountain, above Midgaard, runs past the Temple of the White Lotus, to the sheer summit, where a more gentle path descends to the river Myrdmuth, which runs into the Great Western Desert, a vast, trackless waste which was once a fertile utopia, before the collapse of Alandra. It is rumored that the ruins of the city can still be found there. No one has yet travelled further west than this, so who knows what wonders await? ~ E EAST~ The areas to the east of the Barony are dominated by the vast Plains of Blood, where no plant will grow or animal prosper, named for the blood that was spilled there during both the Racewars and the Kinstrife wars. Past the plains, one comes to an arid area covered with rocky hills, within which are located several areas of interest. To the south one will quickly come across the Graveyard where the dead from the battles on the plains were laid to rest- it is rumored their cursed souls still roam this place, as well as the ancient catacombs beneath the crypts. The ancient Dwarven mine of Moria lies east of here, near the Troll dens. Beyond this lies the swamplands, wherein can be found the ruined city of Khellis, and the Old Marsh, where evil monsters have overrun the ruins of an ancient civilization. Also in here, it is rumored, lies a gateway to Hell. To the north lies the cursed Ghost Town, where only the mightiest can hope to travel and survive. East of there lies the spider forests, where ancient arachnid evils await the unwary. Further east the road stretches, travelling to the impenetrable mountains to the far east, a place the Fire Newts call home. It is rumored that dragons reside near these rocky peaks as well, as related by the Dragon-Slayer Dalamar. ~ E SOUTH~ The lands of the south are dominated by vast mountain ranges and long strtches of hills and small valleys. Among this vista is situated the famous kingdom of Camelot, near the blasted ruins of the Dark Keep. These both lie near the shores of the great Sea of Anon, which is ridden with pirates. In the depths of this sea are rumored to lie two undersea cities- those of Atlantis and Antharia. The massive port of Freeport lies on the southern shores. To the southwest can be found the ancient forest of Haon Dor. It is rumored that the ruins of the city of Thalos can be found in here, as well as the magical Happy Forest. South of Haon Dor lies the Elemental Canyon, near the forest Murkmire, within which is located the human logging village of Dunkeldorf. Heading further south of here will eventually take one to the lands of the Wyvern Tower, and the strange rock creatures and undead that live within. Centaurs also reside in this area. ~ E NORTH~ The vast majority of the lands north of the Barony of Anon is dominated by the great northlands, vast, stretching plains that run from the Weeping mountains to the west to the deep forests of the East that border on the sea of Anon. These plains are sparsely populated, sporting only the occasional druid or animal, which wander the grassy fields with little danger. There are some settlements in this area, including the City-state of Ofcol, and the Dwarven Kingdoms far to the northeast. The legendary Werith's Wayhouse, gathering place for adventurers from all over the world, also lies in this area. The great forests to the east are known by several names, though perhaps best as Mirkwood, named so by the elves who first settled there. In the depths of this forest can be found the elven duchy of Malathar, as well as the sacred Valley of the Elves, and the Dryad Holy Grove. There is also a small goblin kingdom further in the forest, where few dare travel. North of this lies the magical world of Animaland, a small kingdom ruled and populated by sentient animals and other strange beasts. The cruel, evil Warlock resides in the forbidding peak of Firetop mountain on the northern border of Animaland, sharing his domain with the vile lich Ciquala. Near this place lies also the mysterious Mirage Tower, a place where few have ventured and even fewer have returned from. ~ E geography text~ This book is in fine condition, except for one fact- all the maps have been unfortunately torn out, so you'll have to go by the text descriptions.

It is said that their parents were one of the original settlers who came through magical portals to found a village known in these times as Kendermore. Pleasure and Pain are said to be twin brother and sister, born to common parents. They were the first born in the new lands and were the joy of the new village. After a year of life in Kendermore, wanderlust began to settle into their father and other members of the community. There was a great split among the kender, for some had lost their wanderlust and wanted to remain in their village but others wanted to wander the lands. Until this day kender always travelled as a group, moving from location to location. After much debate the matter was settled. Any kender that wished to leave the village was free to do so and any that wished to remain could do so. For Pain and Pleasure it was a difficult time, for their father wished to wander while their mother wanted to remain in Kendermore. The parents were distraught and torn between their desires and their love for their children. It was decided that neither parent should be without the company of one of their children. Pain was to travel with their father and Pleasure was to remain with their mother. Pain grew up always arms length from the hate, the death and the pain of the realm. She felt the pain that her father lived with as he struggled with his love for her mother and she felt the pain of being separate from her twin, Pleasure. Pleasure was raised as the child of the village. The village filled Pleasure with the joy and happiness of life. But Pleasure always remembered the joy that he felt as a young child playing with his twin, Pain. One day, he felt the need to find his sister and left the village. On that same day Pain left her father in search of her brother. They wandered aimlessly through the realms searching for their kin. All this time they struggled with the violence and the horrors of the lands and acquired near-godlike skills and strength. On the day that they were reunited, legends say that the sun did not set on the lands. The light, a symbol, of the God's joy from the twin's reunification. They have rarely been seen without the presence of the other since that day. It is said that if you should attempt to separate the brother and sister from each other that you will face the wrath of mortals unmatched since the days of Godot, the warrior born. ~ E Godot~ <You can insert the mythical creation of the world here. This is similar to gods sevens days or whatever.> And life began to appear in the realm. Races began to claim territory and to build their villages. Chaos reigned as races tested their might and established their rightful place in the heirarchy of races. Many smaller races were lost in the ensuing battles. It was a terrible time. But in this time there was a hope, a powerful warrior named Godot at birth, wandered the land preaching peace and co-operation. He told his vision of the realm to any who would listen. Some listened intently and followed his preachings. But others saw that in the new world of peace they would lose much of their power and riches and despised Godot for his beliefs. They fought with him but Godot was as skilled with the blade as he was with his teachings and defeated many an opponent. Godot had a great following after a time and the Greater Gods of the realm began to feel his presence. They felt that he posed a threat to their dominion over the realm and confronted him. But Godot was supported by two of the Greater Gods who saw the freedom offered by the new world order. There was a great battle between the two factions. The two Greater Gods who offered their support where driven from the lands never to be heard from again. Godot was defeated by the combined might of the Greater Gods. But he would not be killed and turned into a martyr. Instead the Greater Gods used powerful magic to encase Godot in a magical prison, where he would stay until the end of his existance. His followers, hopful that he would escape the living tomb, still to this day, wait for Godot. ~ E Nemo~ Nemo was born and raised in a small village far to the north and east of Anonymud, but don't ask for details if you don't want your throat slit. As a babe, Nemo was entranced by his mother's tales of other lands and other races. His favorite stories were of humankind. His sleep and daydreams were both populated by the Mort d'Arthur, Gawaine and the Green Knight, and tales by Frank Baum, C. S. Lewis, and Robert Heinlein. As an adolescent, Nemo was apprenticed as a magician to his uncle, Kamack. Kamack was a kindly old elf, but Nemo quickly surpassed him in magic ability. To avoid the dreadfully dull future that awaited him in his native village and to avoid having to marry his pretty but half-witted cousin Edwina, Nemo slipped away one summer night to seek out Humankind and his own destiny. In his adventures, Nemo had many close calls and saw many wonderful sights. He managed to meet many of the humans he had read about, as well as dwarves, and kender, and darklings. He still hasn't figured them all out, but he's working on it. ~ E Apotheosis~ I first arrived in anonmud and was just a mere 17 year old and had no friends.. then i meet dalamar (dal) and he showed me the tricks of the trade and then i was off and running and soon smashing pigs and serfs....i was also a little bit stupid and a little thief....i used up all my pracs on useless stuff like stealing and hiding and picking locks...i hope that i can use them for better use in the future!!! ...and after that i was off and running soon to be a warrior...i then did some exploring of the huge anon and found many interesting places but yet to explore all of them cause i doubt it i will find half of them...i then started to make heaps of friends on this and introduced some of my friends on this and things got a bit more interesting....things went nice and smoothly till level 15 or 16 when i realised that i didnt get any free spells from gath so all my blessings were gone and i had to explore for better equipment so i could increase everything and especially my damroll...i love increasing that....oh yeah...im a kender and they are pretty good for non aggro mobs cause i can backstab them...for aggro mobs...well....different story. ..kenders are very sneaky type of race who have a strong subterfuge rate.... that means stealing i think...i dont find stealing any good cause u get caught most the time and its better killing them instead cause u might get a extra body part from them as well....kenders have weak mana so that means that i cant use much magic during battle and only a average battle rate so my fighting combat isnt too good....i have a good description too..if u get time to see me just have a look at me and u will find out. *grin* im kind of a slack mudder cause i never think before i talk....most the times there is help on the stuff i want to know but other times i just open my big mouth and ask away...im around level 27 now and im doing a bit more than tickling the mobs now...im >>ELEVENS<< them...wohooo....that rocks when it comes out but only on special occassions....i can pull out thwaps for first hit easy but after that im in a bit of trouble....heh......that is why i like to group...i have helped and gotten help from many characters over the past few months and im glad that my friend showed my this mud...i know you have all heard this one but i hate it when im just about to level and i die...grrrrr....i have gotten heaps of help from immortals as well and would like to thank the imms that have helped me cause i dont think i would be where i am today if it wasnt for you.....what else?..kenders are suppose to be short little creatures and very attractive i think...well....im a tall handsome kender warrior who hates dying but likes fleeing when it works....do u want to hear stories and stuff?? well...i rarely do explore and when i do i always die cause i dont follow the important rules. ....they are......make sure u know where your going....buy a shimmering potion or two just in case.......always scan to make sure u dont walk into a trap or a aggro mob.....and thats about it...heh...too much dribble...better cut it short...that should be all for now...take it easy...cya apotheosis ~ E Scab~ Scab...Random House Webster's College Dictionary defines a scab as: The incrustation that forms over a sore or wound during healing. There you have it...this Anon veteran lost his arm in the Dwarf-Pixie war of Mirkwood, and now spends his time picking himself and depositing crust. Further, he helps anyone who needs any, (just as long as they don't take offense by the crust) and equips the needy....just ask him for any assistance you may need, or sip a cup of tea over a friendly game of C4 and enlightening conversation with this Anon veteran. ~ E dalamar~ When I arrived at anonymud I had no clue what I was doing. Top helped me get to level 2 and from then on I was hooked. I have a lot of acts of cowardice so I wont even mention any of them..:) But I do have one act of courage..I killed a green dragon. Now I kill lots of dragons! Ps:Im looking for the key to dragon tower..If anyone knows where its is please tell me. Dalamar says: We shouldnt kill monsters we should make friends with them ~ E Feenix~ The Coming of Feenix Many Many centuries ago, some gods and goddesses got together and decided to create a land know as The Realms. This land had all sorts of things from avians (bird people) to zombies (undead humanoids). It was a great place for a person to start a life of adventure. But as time went on, and more people entered The Realms, storms were seen on the horizon and blow through The Realms causing disasters and deaths. These storms were not natural storms, but rather magical in nature. As the storm raged, they dissappeared jsut as quick as they came, and it seemed to all like the gods were starting to change. As time went on, these 'storms' got worse, and soon it was noticed that the 'storms' were caused by the strife between the gods and goddesses. With each passing 'storm' the gods and godesses were becoming meaner and more bitter to the people that were living in The Realms. Feenix Flarestar was born into this world shortly after it was created, and chose the path of the Elf, the Master of offensive magic. Feenix was an acomplished youg elf, killed many a monster, and died even more time than he killed (but that is story for another time). He learned the ropes of adventuring in The Realms rather quickly, and made many friends, both mortal and godly. As time went on, Feenix brought many other friends into the Realms. The sneaky Kender Mara, the strong but stupid dwarf (MadDog), and the pretty, but lethal kender, Genivieve. These were valued friends, and even more valuable allies, in fighting the evil monster that inhabitated The Realms. As the months came and went, Feenix started noticing certain problems, certain 'storms' so to speak. Feenix, being the quisitive type, started to ask questions, but would not get any answers. Finally after many many battles, he made it to the ultimate mortal phase of life, Hero. Being a hero was all that really mattered to him, however, the gods and goddesses have started to change the rules, and not telling their heroes as to why or what they were. It was then made clear, that even though they said that Policies and Politics had no plce in The Realms, they were sadly mistaken. Policies and Politics was ALL there was in The Realms. As herohood went on for Feenix, he started to notice that things were starting to get out of hand, starting to get ridicoulus, and the feeling of wanderlust was starting up again. Feenix left The Realms and headed out into space, looking for more adventure. After many failed attempts at finding it, he located a place called Anon. He entered the world as an Elf once again, and started his adventuring career. As he slowly progressed, he started to notice that the gods and goddesses here were some of the same ones as from The Realms. This maded Feenix become a little uneasy. However, he soon found out that THESE Gods and Goddesses were far more friendly, and more attentive to the mortals, than the other, nameless gods have ever been. That is what brings Feenix here today. Just going with the flow of things. Asking questions (even though some are rather stupid), help when he can, and wondering... Will the storms return? ~ E compendium book~ This book contains excerpts from the biographies of some of Anon's most famous Adventurers.

The Guildmaster himself sits behind a large oak desk covered in scrolls, quills, papers and jars of ink. He looks up as you enter and asks how he may be of service. If you don't know, try looking at him. ~ 0 D inside D5 The offices of the guild~ ~ Z -1 31059 S #31061 The Elven Bar~ Elves are notorious drinkers, mainly due to the fact that their power relies solely on mana, and the best way to rapidly regain mana is to be rip-roaring drunk.

You see that there is a long queue and curse loudly. A few heads turn to stare at you but most people who come here are used to such outbursts. Eventually its your turn.

Cakes, pies, rolls and loaves of freshly-baked bread line the racks behind the counter. Also behind the counter is a very mean-looking tattooed Dwarf with missing teeth and fingers, but with a talent for baking unsurpassed in the entire nation.

You get a few stares as you enter. Despite the rough characters here, no-one ever fights or even lays a blow on another as powerful magics prevent it. ~ 0 ADK inside D0 The Bar~ ~ Z -1 31070 S #31072 Valiant Street~ You are heading into the Guard Sector of town.

You may wish to train as well. If so, and you don't know what to do, try looking at the Guildmaster. ~ 0 D inside D0 The Guild training yard~ ~ Z -1 31076 S #31078 The Dwarven Bar~ About two dozen hardy Dwarves drink, smoke, fight and gamble here. The noise is only equalled in intensity by the acrid stench of stale beer and burning pipeweed. A smaller Dwarf busies himself collecting empty steins and replacing them with fresh ones, being rewarded with the occasional silver piece or kick in the rump for his efforts. ~ 0 D inside D3 The Guild training yard~ ~ Z -1 31076 S #31079 Valiant Street~ You have entered a rather seedy area of town, the slums that line the eastern half of Valiant Street being legendary the world over.

A haven for thieves, assassins, backstabbers, footpads and murderers of every description, it is a place where a quick mind and a quicker blade will mean the difference between life and death. You quickly duck the contents of a chamber pot being emptied into the street by someone in a higher building, and, cursing, move on. ~ 0 A city D1 A Bend in Valiant Street~ ~ Z -1 31081 D3 Valiant Street~ ~ Z -1 31079 S #31081 A Bend in Valiant Street~ At this bend, there is a small grate set in the ground.

A veritable treasure trove of items of every possible description is piled to the roof in here. The Guildmaster lounges on a settee and stares inquisitively at you. If you don't know what to do, try looking at him. ~ 0 AD inside D0 Inside the Guild~ ~ Z -1 31083 S #31085 The Bar~ You have entered a seedy bar full of low-lifes of the lowest common denominator. A greasy bartender serves drinks to the sullen patrons, while in the corner a couple of sailors are roughing up an Elf who refused to pay up upon losing the last hand in poker. ~ 0 AD inside D1 Inside the Guild~ ~ Z -1 31083 S #31086 End of Justice Street~ Justice Street ends in a small lane here that the Illithid Guild opens onto from the north. Back east several shops open onto Justice Avenue, and before that Liberty Lane cuts across this street. A small building to the west contains a staircase that looks interesting... ~ 0 0 city D0 The Illithid Guild~ ~ Z -1 31090 D1 Justice Street~ ~ Z -1 31046 D3 It's the Darkling Guild.~ ~ Z -1 31192 S #31087 The Human Guild~ You have entered a Martial Arts Dojo devoid of all furniture or decoration save several practice mats and some wooden weapons hung on hooks attached to the walls.

If you don't know what to do next, try looking at him. ~ 0 D inside D2 The Human Guild~ ~ Z -1 31087 S #31089 The Relaxation Room~ Rigid and disciplined as they are, the members of this Guild don't spend much time loafing around. However, when the mood takes them, few can outdrink them whatever the beverage, and as the mood can take them quite frequently when their usage of their mental disciplines drains their mana, this place was constructed. ~ 0 D inside D0 The Human Guild~ ~ Z -1 31087 S #31090 Inside the Illithid Guild~ You have entered the sparsely-furnished chambers of the Illithid Guildmaster of Anon. The Guildmaster himself resides to the north, while the Illithids' Bar is to the west. ~ 0 D inside D0 The Guildmaster~ ~ Z -1 31092 D2 Justice Street~ ~ Z -1 31086 D3 The Bar~ ~ Z -1 31091 S #31091 The Illithids' Bar~ Not many Illithids reside in Anon, so this place is usually empty. Combine this with the fact that Mind Flayers have a reputation of sucking out and eating the brains of other sentient species, and you'll probably understand why there are very few non-Illithids in this place at any particular time... Like all mana-users, Illithids have a need to be constantly intoxicated, and what better place to do this than in their Guild Bar? ~ 0 D inside D1 The Guild~ ~ Z -1 31090 S #31092 The Guildmaster~ You have entered a particuarly small, dark and cramped chamber that is devoid of funiture- the powerful psionicist hovering in the center of the room has no need for any. If you don't know what to do, try looking at the purple-skinned, tentacle-mawed instructor and see what he has to think... ~ 0 D inside D2 The Guild~ ~ Z -1 31090 S #31093 Justice Street~ You are strolling through the fairly deserted northeastern quarter of town.

Being generally solitary and outdoor-loving creatures, Avians do not congregate here tending instead to visit at odd hours so as to not be forced to endure a wait indoors for training. ~ 0 0 city D0 Inside the Tower~ ~ Z -1 31097 D2 Outside the Dojo~ ~ Z -1 31095 S #31097 Inside the Tower~ You have entered the grounds of the Guild.

However, they like it best when few other people are present, and what few Avians that are here now will probably get up and leave if you enter. ~ 0 D inside D4 Inside the Tower~ ~ Z -1 31097 S #31099 The Aerie~ Here the Avian Guildmistress rests, in her comfortable nest, waiting for new students. If you don't know what to do here, try looking at her. ~ 0 D inside D5 Inside the Tower~ ~ Z -1 31097 S #31163 Armor Donations~ Here all the Armor donated by the people of Anon appear. ~ 0 D inside D0 The Chamber of Donations~ ~ Z -1 31002 S #31164 Weapons Donations~ Here all the Weapons donated by the people of Anon appear. ~ 0 D inside D3 The Chamber of Donations~ ~ Z -1 31002 S #31165 Magical Donations~ Here all the Magical Items donated by the people of Anon appear. ~ 0 D inside D1 The Chamber of Donations~ ~ Z -1 31002 S #31190 Inside the Chippy~ You have entered the local chippy. Your nostrils are almsot immediately assailed by a pleasant aroma- it's amazing how good hot fat smells, isn't it? You see a portly Italian standing behind a large glass counter full of fried food. It certainly smells a lot better than it looks. A customer standing next to you says- "It looks a lot better than it tastes...". Most of the food has probably been sitting under those hot lights for a couple of hours. The only thing you can be reasonably sure of is the chips. By the way, EVERYTHING is fried. ~ 0 D inside D5 ~ ~ Z -1 31041 S #31191 Inside Tracey's Cafe~ You have entered a well-scrubbed cafe, furnished in mid-1960's laminex style.

Footprints show that many others have passed this way, but despite this the webs and dust remain as thick as if the steps hadn't been traversed for decades. ~ 0 AD inside D1 ~ ~ Z -1 31086 D5 ~ ~ Z -1 31193 S #31193 The Ante-Chamber~ You are standing in a dark, gloomy room, littered with bits of old furniture and decaying tapestries. The Darklings are a morbid lot, and their guildhall serves as a perfect example of this. ~ 0 AD inside D2 ~ ~ Z -1 31194 D4 ~ ~ Z -1 31192 S #31194 The Guildhall~ In this room, the ancient Darkling scholar, Mengrabbazoah, awaits, ready to educate you in the ways of his people. You feel overawed standing in his presence. ~ 0 AD inside D0 ~ ~ Z -1 31193 S #31195 The Portal Chambers~ In these rooms lie portals that lead to the other 3 dimensions of the world of Anon.
