This section contains a reference for most commands available to players on a stock Grendel
installation. It does not claim to be an exhaustive reference, as any command-set is subject to
change, and documentation often lags behind development.

There is no guarantee that any of the commands listed here are actually present on a modified
installation of Grendel. Administrators are allowed to remove and add to their command-set as they see fit.
