#HELPFILEDATA colourcode ` security 7 END #HELPENTRIES keyword DRUID-REFUGE DRUIDS-REFUGE~ level 92 category undefined~ text Background of `#`gDruid's Refuge`^ The area is formed by a huge cliff, with a waterfall. This is where the ancient avians lived (see avian-history). Over the cliff there is a plateau, and beyond it a valley. In this valley the war that destroyed the avian rave took place. Now, their ghosts and old skeletons haunt the place. The whole area is surrounded by mountains, with the exception of the southern part, which is a plain. Some decades ago, a group of druids decided to leave their communities. Their life style was too different, and they thought they would live a happier life away. That group was formed by alaghis, mrems, avians and gnomes, all with the intention of study and understand nature in some way, and, above all, live so close to it that they would almost be merging with nature. The cliff and surrounding areas suited well their needs, and they settled there. As a first effect of their presence, the plateau, once dead, came back to life. Another effect is that they hate those undeads, and keep them imprisoned in the valley. A last interesting feature of their Refuge is the waterfall. The sound that it produces reminds one very much of a pungent cry, and their waters are salty (see avian-history). Beyond the waterfall there is a cave, where the ghost of the last and first of the avian princes rests. That one is a spirit the druids respect, taking him as a symbol of a race that was reborn. ~ END keyword SILVER-TEMPLE~ level 1 category undefined~ text Background of `#`sSilver Temple`^ The Silver Temple was built mainly by Lyne, helped by Kreetyl. Their original intention was to build a temple where all gods could be strengthened, but Lanthos, causing him to become weaker, to be defeated. That is why it was built in silver. With time, though, it turned out into a place of knowledge, wisdom and understanding. There is no discrimination in there, towards beliefs, races, or anything. All gods are represented. All people are respected. The only thing that is not allowed in there is violence towards one that does not want so. If orcs want to kill each other out of respect, that is all right. But murder is deeply frowned upon. As a consequence, it attracted many different people, and that is a place where one can find the exceptions of any group. A kind draconian is the druid's guildmaster, while an alaghi is the cook. The temple was built with silver from the Silver Elves, and from the huge construction, much silver, in small pieces, was left. That they use to build any items they many need, including weapons, to protect the peace of the temple. The excedant they sell, being that the basis for their economy. As the temple was being built, they stumbled on a cave, just under it. A cave made of crystals and inhabited with wisps. That is why there are so many of them around the temple. The temple is blessed by the gods. It is not uncommon for one to see, hear and feel things that one would not, normally. Specially in the shrines. Also, those black roses around the temple were planted there by Imidazole. The silver temple is composed of three sub-areas. North of the temple itself there are shops and guilds (paladins and druids). Then there is the silver temple, surrounded by exotic plants. And south of it there are the facilities where the temple's inhabitants live. ~ END keyword CRYSTAL-CAVE~ level 92 category undefined~ text Background of `#`WSilver Temple`^ That is the cave directly under the Silver Temple, where the wisps come from. Wisps are beings of chaos. They do not have a conscience, but react to many stimuli, making them look almost intelligent at times. When wisps were created (something one would have to ask Imidazole himself), they for some reason gathered in this place, and their presence changed the ground into crystals. The cave is all formed by crystal formations, of many colors. Nothing exists there but wisps and crystals. ~ END keyword DARKHATE-CASTLE CASTLE-DARKHATE~ level 92 category undefined~ continues DARKHATE-CASTLE-2~ text . `#`rThe Story of Castle Darkhate.`^ `#`y<Extracted from The history of Darkhate - book by an anonymous author>`^ At first, before the building of the castle, all this place was known as the golden plains, for here grew trees with golden leaves and silver fruits. At the center of the golden plains, stood the little town of Valderna. It was a town made by a farming people that lived from the abundance of life this valley offered. However, such abundance made the denizens of Valderna a lazy and prejudiced people, and they grew to become quite xenophobic. At one time, came to town a strange man, like none had ever seen before. He had dark skin, something completely foreign to these people, dark, penetrating eyes, he kept to himself and barely spoke. His appearance and his demeanor brought him the suspition of the townspeople and he soon found his life here disturbed by unending bickerings and undesirable comments from all around. He would have leaved town for good, but when he was on the way out, he saw and helped a teenager girl get rid of a band of street robbers who were to become rapers. It happened so that she lived in Valderna, and so he brought her back, and earned her love. The townsfolk had to accept the man after he saved young Anyia, and so he lived with them, and Anyia, enduring the ironies and malitious comments of his lover's friends. Little time went by, and soon the people's prejudices spoke higher and the man's life got indeed unbearable. In a town fight, he ended up killing one of the town's residents, one of Anyia's friends. With this, the town went after him, but Anyia stood beside him. She tried to help him, but they were many, and he ended up letting himself get caught. Anyia was desperate, for she knew they would kill her lover. She went out of town, to seek for help with the imperial guard on the capital, but on her way out, she was attacked and murdered by the same group of robbers who first tried to steal from her, way back. Her death came to Valderna on the day that strange man was going to be executed. He went crazy, attacked the guards, killed them, killed all who stood on his way. One man, two man, ten man, unarmed, armed, whoever came, he slaughtered, and only on the end the few remaining citizens realized the reason for his power: He was a dragon, a polymorphed dragon on a human shape. He killed men, woman and children, all inhabitants of Valderna met death that day. The capital of the kingdon. at the time called Cotrin, was ruled by King Erard. Without news from Valderna on quite a while, Erard organized a small expedition to go see what was the matter. They never came back. He then sent another group, and another, and another... and none returned. At last, one day, a scout from one of the sent groups managed to survive the slaughter and arrived with news about the situation: The town was destroyed, the valley was taken by an aggressive Black Dragon as dark as shadow itself... a shadow Dragon. ~ END keyword DARKHATE-CASTLE-2 CASTLE-DARKHATE-2~ level 92 category undefined~ parent_help DARKHATE-CASTLE~ text . King Erard organized a great war expedition for Valderna, and invaded the golden plains with more than one hundred thousand men. None survived. The Dragon, called by all Darkhate, slew them all. Erard himself died there. His wife, Queen Chleon, who took over the throne, took for herself the task to put and end to this Dragon once and for all. Years, decades passed on in wich Chleon arranged alliances and build the strenght of her kingdom on the goal to end Darkhate. In the end, she gathered what is said to be the greatest army ever. Three million soldiers. Four hundred mages, all under her command. Magic, at the time, was still developing into what it was to become, but there were already some capable of amazing feats. Among them, Chleon's first counselor: Bohr. They still sing tales of this battle, of three million men and a magi against a shadow dragon. And the shadow dragon almost won. About three hundred men survived, Chleon among them, but, in the end, it was Bohr who, staying at the back lines, analyzed the pattern of the dragon and devised the glyph that even today keeps him arrested. They say that, were Darkhate not exausted from the battle, he could have whitstood Bohr's prison. But he did not, and so ended Darkhate. The golden plains, on that day, turned into the wicked and dark place they are now, called the valley of blood. Chleon erected a castle upon Bohr's prison, and meant it to be only a minor prison. From there on the castle went from owner to owner, until it happened so that Bohr, the old Queen's counselor, arranged to get the castle for himself after he battled the former owner, a Mage called Pharen, and won. In time, he came to lose that castle in the battle of the Kron, with the betrayal of his general, called Kephlen, but that, is another story... ~ END keyword NEWREALM-TODO~ level 92 category undefined~ text `#`RMASTER REALM TODO LIST`^ This is the prime directive of the realm council.

By entering "none" and "0" for the location and modifier fields, the affects are not displayed if the item in question is identified. This is nice, for obvious reasons. There are no hardfast rules regarding balance when addapplies are used. The number of objects with built-in resistances should be very small -- in this case, they should be quest items, or particularly rare pieces of equipment. In other cases, a good ratio is 2:1 for vulnerabilities:resistances on items.

Basicly we're going to add one room to each of the guilds with a guard inside. Kerenos will be removing the code that prevents other classes from enter each guild, and these new guards will "try" to manage that. We're also going to make a guild for each class, some will be outside of the towns. For example the rangers guild will be somewhere in the forest and the barbs guild will be in some cave somewhere. - How do we go about this? We start by making the guardrooms with free vnums in each town. We don't link them yet, but just have them on the ready. For instance I have done a <redit create 3086> to create the mages guardroom. I think it would be fun if they all have a certain theme. I've decided to make an empty shop room for the mages guild, with a sleepy mage type shopkeeper. Let's add some fun dialog for the guards, each portraying it's class. - How to go about this in an organized way? I will add each of you to the builders list of the towns. So please be carefull! :) Each of you just pick a few guildrooms (the ones that are to remain in town for now) and create the guardrooms, edit this helpfile and add the vnum you've created along with the guild it's meant for.`^ `#`s-=Guilds=-`^ Arcanum(Mek): ROOM 3086 OBJ 6163 MOB 7073-7076 MPROG 7073-7075 Cleric(Mek): ROOM 3087 OBJ 6165 MOB 7077-7080 MPROG 7076-7078 Fighter(Dza): ROOM 27055 ~ END keyword LINKING-KINGDOM-ROOMS~ level 92 category undefined~ text -----------------------------------------------------------------------------`1The following are links to be put into the castle concerning the wings.
