The Keeper of the Seals~
The Keeper of the Seals stands here, watching over the Younglings.
~
You see before you a very attractive woman, clad in white Adept robes. She
bears encircling her waist a long silver chain, denoting her Keeper status.
With long flowing golden hair, a porcelain face, and attractive green eyes
that you feel like you could easily get lost in, you understand that this
Keeper is perhaps the most important person on Academy Grounds, save for
the Headmaster himself, whom she reports progress directly to.

Encased in a shimmering sphere of light, the Adept who stands before
you is at one with his own holiness. Garbed in simple attire, an aura
of divine power radiates from him, causing your skin to tingle just as
you stand in the same room with him. It is perhaps best to train, and
go about your business. Tangling with these adepts may very well be
the last thing you do!

`8--==`` `&Forbidden Acts`` `8==--``
 
Please remember that this MUD is put here by the Immortals for you to enjoy.
They are not paid for their services here, and are here to encourage, support,
and, when needed, discipline. Their word is absolute, and talking back to,
insulting, or harassing any Immortal, or abusing any channel with 'spam' will
only get you banned. The following is a list of acts expressly forbidden by the
Staff of The Forsaken Lands:
 
1) `&Any advertisement for any other MUD or service.``
2) `&Spamming, excess profanity, or harassment.``
3) `&Disrespect to any staffmember.``
4) `&Any attempt to hack, solicit, extort, or infringe on any property of FL.``
5) `&Any other act deemed inappropriate by the Staff.``

chapter5~
`8--==`` `&Skills and Spells`` `8==--``
 
Based on your character creation, your character will have at his or her
disposal a large arsenal of skills and spells. To view all available spells
for your class, simply type 'spells', and likewise for a skill listing. For
more information on the function and correct syntax of each skill or spell,
simple type '`^HELP <SKILL OR SPELL>``'.

chapter3~
`8--==`` `&Your Character and Life`` `8==--``
 
All players here are required to have a description BEFORE rank 15. To write
a description, read up on '`^HELP DESCRIPTION``'. If you are unsure of what is to
be written in a description, '`#PRAY``' to an Immortal for assistance. You will
have a [`#D``] by your name until your description is approved by an Immortal.
With this approval comes a substantial experience and stat gain, so it is very
worth your while to get this done as soon as possible.
 
All characters begin life at age 17. Every four deaths, a character will
lose a 'Condition' or 'Con' point. Once your condition has deteriorated to
abysmal (generally around 60 deaths), your player will face a permanent death.
 
Keep in mind a history of your character at all times. Remember that roleplay
here is enforced, and is very well rewarded. Play well, and you will enjoy
yourself!

chapter2~
`8--==`` `&Channels and Conversation`` `8==--``
 
Channels on this MUD are a privilege that the Immortals grant the players. As
a newbie, you have access to 'Newbie Chat' (syntax: 'Newbie <message>'). You
may also 'SAY', 'PRAY' (A direct channel to the Immortals), 'EMOTE' (see HELP
SOCIALS), and 'YELL' (restricted to players level 2 or greater).
 
All of these channels, save for the NEWBIE channel, are ENFORCED ROLEPLAYING
channels. For more information, please see '`^HELP <CHANNEL>``'.
~
E
chapter1~
`8--==`` `&Basic Rules and Regulations`` `8==--``
 
There are several basic rules and regulations that a new player must adhere to
while within these realms. First, keep in mind that this is an ENFORCED roleplay
MUD. You are to remain IN CHARACTER at ALL TIMES, unless an Immortal expressly
gives you permission to go OOC. With the exception of the NEWBIE CHANNEL, (See
Chapter 2), all other channels within this MUD are ROLEPLAY ENFORCED. Keep in
mind that you may be being observed, even now.
 
This MUD allows NO MULTI-PLAY whatsoever. While you are free to have as many
characters as you wish, none are allowed to be logged in from the same address
at ANY time for ANY reason. This is HIGHLY enforced, and breaking this cardinal
rule WILL result in a ban of your character from this game. This law as well
extends to sharing of OOC (Out of Character) knowledge with friends via any
type of chatroom or messenger service.
 
For more information on these rules, read HELP RULES, HELP NEWBIE, and HELP
MULTI for any further clarification.

You gain practice sessions each rank, and the amount you get is based
solely on your Wisdom. Once you have read this, `#SCAN`` in any direction

As a new traveler, you will find many nuances of life here interesting.
You will also notice that, as you travel, you will become affected by
hunger and thirst. It is a wise idea to keep with you at all times some
means of sustenance, as well as a water skin of sorts. Around Thera, many
cities have fountains, however, while traveling into the mountains or
forests, water and food become much less available. Your hunger and your
thirst will not cause any noticable damage or injury to you before you
attain level 10, however, it will affect your health and mana regeneration
rate, so it is best to keep well fed and quenched. You will find that you
can eat certain bodyparts of creatures that you kill (arms, and legs), but
other parts, such as guts, may be poisoned, so be cautious!

Verdigar is the patron God of rangers, druids and all others who
respect and love Nature. It is not uncommon among the small folk
to utter a small prayer to him upon entering his domain on any
undertaking. There is no record of him ever having been a mortal,
but even so he has many mortal traits, being well known for his
love of strong drink and pretty girls. According to rumors he
has been known to engage in drinking contests with mortals that
he deems worthy of such an honor. Known as a fierce fighter, a
superb hunter and a great carouser, some think that Verdigar
often assumes a mortal form to walk the lands in pursuit of his
favorite activities. Aside from these "qualities" he is utterly
devoted to Nature and will not stand aside to see the Natural
Order corrupted, even though he takes no particular interest in
the conflicts between his immortal siblings. Even so, few, even
among his fellow Gods, would risk angering the Lord of Nature,
for his wrath is a terrible thing to behold.

statue~
Virigoth is the embodiment of death and decay in Thera, often deity of 
choice for necromancers, executioners and morticians. It represents the 
inevitable end of all that is natural and the counterbalance to forces of
life. Those who worship It, worship not the act of death but the inescapable 
collapse of life and its eventual end which allows the cycle of rebirth and 
creation to continue. It holds power over all things of Thera that ceased
their natural life, and not even its name is spoken out loud in fear of 
sickness and death it brings. The foreboding mark of a snarling skull is a 
common symbol around graveyards of Thera. Engraved for protection of the 
deceased to ward of grave robbers, alive and not. It is rumored that a whole 
cult exists in Virigoth's name, yet to even enquire about its existence is to 
court death.

Aabahran is a very violent place. All around, wars are fought, and
people die following their causes. For now, as a youngling, you are
safe from the harm of other players. However, once you attain the
tenth rank, a <`1PK``> will appear by your name as well as the names
of other individuals who you can harm, and likewise, can harm you.
At level 10, you may attack and kill, and as well be killed. However,
not until the rank of 15 can you loot the corpses of fallen players.
Playerkilling (PK) ranges are highly balanced here in Aabahran, so
there is seldom the chance of an unfair kill. Be highly wary of
those who may wish to cause you harm, by using 'WHO PK' and 'WHERE
PK' after you reach the rank of 10.

statue~
The High God Athaekeetha was once a famed mortal warrior of the duergar race.
Known for his intense hatred of magic, he was the original founder of the
cabal known as Warmasters.  A master in all forms of physical combat,
Athaekeetha has never known fear nor has he known defeat.
 
He demands the same courage from his followers as he leads them to victory
verses the mage.  Legend has it that in the dark days during the invasions
Athaekeetha ran ahead of his army and alone destroyed scores of the undead
wizards.  He embodies the perfection that can be achieved through mastery
of tactics and the right amount of insanity.
 
If you seek the respect of Athaekeetha then become a master of your own body.
Learn of its strengths, its weaknesses, and never attempt to rely on
other wordly forces.  Athaekeetha is worshipped for the true warrior that
he is.  Bloodthirsty yet disciplined, like a sword made of well tempered
steel he watches Thera from the heavens as his Warmasters enforce his will.

Palison~
In the early ages of Thera, A war of grand proportion expanded the 
boundaries of existence. Once the chaos had ended and corpses of many 
mortals had littered the land, the souls of the  warriors that carried 
noble traits as honor, truth, and bravery took up a search for a lone 
mortal  who carried the belief's the stood for. After many years of 
searching a battle of chaos and death claimed many mortal souls, in the 
end there stood few mortals. The souls of the noble warriors had found 
their champion, a mortal name Palison. They claimed his body for the 
betterment of all, consumed his life force and breathed a new force 
into existence. Immortality had been given to this vessel named Palison, 
driven by the rage of the fallen to over see peace with a new vengeance.

Raght~
Never one to care much for the disputes of his brother and sister Gods,
Raght is solely concerned with the preservation of order and the
upholding of law within the civilized parts of Thera.
Understanding the need for justice, he commands his followers to
uphold the law in every decent city, and to protect the inhabitants
that dwell within them.
He too once fought along side the others during the great invasion,
but only because of the danger that existed for the cities of Thera.
Though not true enemies, it is said that Falthar and Raght are
in constant disagreement over how the lands should be ruled.  Helaman
insists on a kingdom being restored, while Raght refuses to
relinquish the power that his Justice cabal has attained.  Thus,
it is not uncommon to see the two mortal factions of these gods
in a violent struggle.
Though often reserved and silent, Raght possesses greatness in
his own right.  Not one to be trifled with he is more than willing
to meet any challenge to his power, though he forces himself to
abide by the same laws that he has dictated to his followers.

He served his mortal life as the right and of his beloved King.  By far
the most gallant of the Knights, Sirant used his amazing skills in battle
to serve the kingdom that once reigned supreme over Thera.
When Cormac died, part of Sirant died too.  Unwilling to replace the
King he became an even more devout servant of Helaman.  It is said
that he wandered the lands alone for over twenty years, righting
the wrongs he found, and searching for the answers that his soul
yearned for.
 
Sirant sets the example of Knights, for he was loved by all, and 
respected even by his most hated enemies.  Renowned for his kind
heart and even temper, he is often depicted as being deep in thought.
Yet do not mistake his kindness for weakness, for he will help restore
the Crown by nearly any means.
Now residing in the heavens above, Sirant helps his God to carry out
the Chosen's destiny, so that there may once again be one sovereign
King of Thera.

Drenaar~
Goddess of The Five Spheres, Guardian of Magic, Warrior of The Mind,
Drenaar exemplifies perfection attained through the magical arts.
The first Faerie ever to be seen on Thera, it is a widely held belief
that her origins are not originally of this world.
Her age is also unknown, as there is no record of her ever having a
mortal life.  What is known is that she is the source of power and
inspriration for the Savants, the most hated enemy of Warmasters,
the mages of war, and the protectors of the magical arts in Thera.
 
Her charms are many, and it is believed by some that she once seduced
Helaman and thus gave birth to the once great King known as Cormac.
Her promise is the destruction of Athaekeetha and his chosen, and
she seeks only the strongest of the magi to aid her.
Those who have had the privelage of being granted an audience have
warned that her appearance and manner is most deceptive.  Small
and often quiet she seems, yet she hears all and understands more
than any mortal mind could ever hope.

In a time where Chaos dominated, the severely crippled
forces of Justice 
struggled to maintain order in a society controlled by
violence and the
clashing of the major factions of power. In this era,
so intense was the
bloodshed, it was said that the streets of Val Miran
were stained red with 
the blood of the fallen. Demons of Chaos stood
triumphantly, every aspect
of order was clenched tightly within the grip of
Chaos. Both Raght and Falthar
mysteriously vanished in the time of disarray, leaving
the forces of law without
hope. The very tablets of Justice seemed to crumble
into nothingness... 
Within a plane not akin to that of Thera, a great
leader walked. A man of 
order, respected by all. Crime itself ceased to exist
in his presence, as those
who opposed laws were swiftly executed. Several years
passed under his
rule, a time of order and peace. Yet his rule was no
exception to the weakness
that plagues all great empires. The ethereal realm
known as the Void collided
with his plane of existence, causing a chaotic event
that would forever change
his life. The collision of the two planes spawned
forth two forces from the
essence of both realms, a force of chaos, and a force
of order. Chaos quickly
manifested itself into the ranks of the guards,
causing corruption and deceit
previously unheard of. It wasn't long before the
second in command created
a plot to murder the leader, Streantian. With
unrivaled adeptness in melee 
combat, Streantian easily cut down the second in
command and his men.

Woven from the fabric of magic, swirled with dark shadows, Mircea was forged
by the Gods as a tribute to their magical powers.  Created with the ideas of
magical dominance and a lust for evil, Mircea was a testament to all that 
encompasses the dark arts, a monument to evil, and a display for the 
cohesiveness of both.  His creators placed their hands to his flesh, and it 
began to glow.  Mircea's flesh began to distort and a mark took form.  A tattoo 
of a sorcerer encased in a ring of fire appeared on his arm where his distorted 
flesh was.
Tired of being enslaved by the Gods, Mircea broke free to peruse his own
ideas of magical preservation.  He began to focus on the elimination of
all who seek the destruction of the higher arts.  He traveled the lands and 
destroyed many who opposed the reign of magic.  Overtime the numbers of those 
opposed to the spell casters became great, and Mircea began to seek out those 
who, like him, wished to save their way of life. Out of this search, Mircea 
came to find the Savants, followers of Drenaar, who rightfully claim to be 
the greatest magi of Thera.  He now serves as her right hand, and together 
they guide their mortal followers towards their goal.

At the dawn of time there was only darkness.  The Chaos Machine had 
riddled the galaxies and universes with its decay, and had moved,
finally, on to greener pastures.  Astral bodies fell and fused, and
in time, planets were formed.  Little is known about the powerful 
magic's that came together to forge the lands known as Thera, only 
that a once lifeless husk of rock in space was born under the warmth
of a sun.  From the dawn of its existence, Thera was a doomed land.
It grew to full fruition in what the ancient texts called 'The Fourth
Turn".  But the relative peace was not to last.  Two dark lords 
emerged from the shadows and razed the land to ruin.  Shadowspawn, 
his only mortal name, and Virigoth emerged from the depths of a 
hellish netherworld, and took Thera for their own, executing
mortals and deities alike, and ravaging the land.  Dark Scourges
were born unholy births, and came to rise in power against the select
few mortals who still walked the lands.  These survivors banded 
together in small towns, and trained themselves to survive and fight
the darkness that so consumed the land.  Armies of undead poured from
the torn landscapes and assaulted the survivors, harnessing powers
and skills never before seen by any mortal.  New races and breeds of
creatures came from the woodwork, some to aid the darkness, some to
aid the survivors.  Old texts were uncovered by the survivors as they
battled back with new energies and renewed vigor until the armies
of Shadowspawn and Virigoth fell back in retreat.  From these 
survivors walked three mortal men.  Athaekeetha, Raght, and Palison
stood victorious over the ravened mountains cape of Tyr Unguld, and 
earned their place in the heavens.  Order was restored as Shadowspawn
and Virigoth spent much less of their time leading their armies to
victory, and much more battling their new immortal foes.  Once
again the survivors rebuilt the cities and lands to make way  for
the new breeds that walked forth.  All seemed once again safe...but
under the watchful, vengeful eyes of Virigoth and Shadowspawn, new
breeds of hatred burned and frothed...in time, the scourges would
once again stalk the lands...

The History and Prophecies of Thera
 
In the First Age of Thera (1-386 B.C.), Damnel, the Seer Prophet of 
Thalos, spoke of a great disaster that would bring Armageddon to Thera. 
With the end of the Month of the Grand Struggle, a great Cataclysm 
brought an end to Theran life. As the Second Age of Thera (1-595 P.C.) 
came to rise and man was once again brought into the world from the 
Ethereal Nexus, the books of Damnel were uncovered in the North Forests 
of Banor, and brought into the Temple of Sreyb to be deciphered by the 
scholars of the time. Once deciphered, it spoke of the rise and fall of 
the Fourth Age of Thera (800-1200 P.C.), and spoke of the Four Prophecies 
that would come to pass in the Fifth Age of Thera (1200 P.C. - present). 
As Thera came out of the Second Age and prospered into the Third Age 
(595-800 P.C.), more secrets of the Book of Damnel were learned. This 
was documented in the Prophecy of the Coming (Help Prophecy1). A great 
death to Thera was also imminent, as documented in the Prophecy of the 
Shadowkin (Help Prophecy2). During this Fourth Age, Thera would change 
forever. New breeds of people would cross the Great Chasm, and come to 
fight in the last battle. (Help Prophecy3). If Thera made it into the 
Fifth Age, the Fourth Prophecy would never come true (Help Prophecy4). 
As Thera now stands in the Fifth Age, forces battle to ensure the Fourth 
Prophecy remains a fable.

Heralds are the lifelines of history in Thera. Often, they are the eyes
peering from the corner of a bar, watching the social elite and listening
in to the gossip and stories of the current and past events.  Interacting
with the various characters abroad, Heralds observe the very history of
Thera to link Thera to its notables.  They are loyal to the Winds, every
so often coming to meet with their superiors and giving them what 
biographies
they have recorded.
 
A Herald's communication skills are what he/she relies on.  Heralds
demonstrate through their intelligence and wit their story telling and
rumor gathering skills.  Heralds are also courteous to those deserving
of courtesy, given the number of people they must interact with on a
daily basis.  Those who flagrantly use foul language or violence have
no place within the cabal.
 
Anyone who wishes to may ask a Herald for the history of a certain person
of Thera, and the Herald will give them what knowledge he/she has.  When
a Herald does not do this, they are considered to be unessential, and may
be extricated from the group.  Also, if a Herald is remiss in his/her duty
to collect biographies, that Herald is also ousted from the group.  Bards
and Monks are the classes best suited to be Heralds, although non-physical
classes may also join if they meet cabal requirements and have exceptionally
good role-play.

Well done! You have the silver medallion of the Cloudman, now. Before you continue,
you need to learn about a few little things! First, a strange creature lies below
you, who you will have to face next! The `!WIMPY`` command will allow you to set
a number of hitpoints at which you will automatically flee. If you type "wimpy" with
no arguments, it will automatically set it at 25%, so you will flee a foe auto-
matically if your hit points drop below 25%.
 
Next, within these lands, you will fight many creatures! After they die, they will
leave behind their corpse. These corpses can be sacrificed to your Deity, in an
exchange for a few gold coins. To do this, just 'sac corpse'. As a newbie, you will
find that you automatically loot and sacrifice corpses. To toggle these, simply type
"`#AUTOLOOT``" or "`#AUTOSAC``".
 
Once you are finished, drop this medallion. The cloudman will not take kindly to
visitors leaving with his prize!

Say Here you must learn the simple ways of our communication. We do so in a few ways.
Say You can always 'say' things like I am now, or you can 'tell' them only to those you wish to hear them.

say Ah, yes. Battle. Warrior classes combat people in a much different way.

say Yes, indeed. You wonder about the past of the Warrior.
smile
say Warriors in general are a proud lot. We do not pride ourselves on our intellect.
say Rather, our pride and fame lie within our skills and prowss in combat.
emote pauses, as if reminiscing.
say We do not have to be quick witted to win in combat, but we must be swift...
say We are stalward defenders, ferocious attackers, and never back down from an enemy...
say Cowardice is unbecoming of any Warrior!
emote pounds his fist to his chest.
~
#7712
say Ah yes, our behavior...
ponder
say Warriors are a sect of fighters who focus our training on the complex art of combat.
say Use your abilities to your advantage, and protect yourself against the magics.
say While some warriors use magic...
spit

say Well, behavior is dictated by who you are, and what you wish to achieve in this life.
say Some warriors may follow the path to the Masters of War, and fight the Savants.
spit
say Some warriors may follow armies of the Darkness or the Light.
say But always remember, you are a warrior at heart!
say The thrill of the battle is within your soul!
say It is not how the war was won, but the manner in which it was fought!
~
#7714
say Ah, yes the fundamentals of our kind.
smile
say We are lovers of magic. Magic surrounds us, gives us life. You are its protector.
say You harness this force, and channel it for use to you, based on your class.
say You will start out slow, my child.
say But as you grow in rank, you will gradually grow in power.
say And you will eventually find yourself on even ground with those warrior brutes!

say Ah, yes, your behavior.
emote thinks thoughtfully.
say You are an emblem of the Vortex of Magic.
say You have been gifted with the innate ability to use this force!
say Because of this, you are above the foolish brutish warrior classes.
say You will carry yourself with dignity...
say You will be educated, and reflect your magical enlightenment...
say So that others may learn from you.

say Hm, yes indeed...combat.
sigh
say It is a sad necessity. You will feud with others.
say Realize that your learning curve at these lower levels is large.
say But as you grow in rank, you will become much more powerful...
say As your spellbook, or knowledge of prayers increases...
say You will find many useful enchantments at your fingertips.
smile
say Learn your incantations well, my child...Train diligently!
say For in time, your true payoff will be knowledge of the forces of magic...
say And that alone will allow you to overcome your enemy!

say Yes, you seek information about our past...
smile
say Our main deities are Mircea, and the late Drenaar.
frown
say They upkeep and maintain the Vortex of Magic...
say From where all things magic came.
say Also, the Dark Gods, Virigoth and Arzaeth are the deities of many of the magi.
say For they both utilize and provide magics, as well.
say We have long since been proud of our knowledge and intellect.
say This alone has bested many a foolish Warmaster.
