-1 STORY~
One hundred and fifty years ago ...
Nomads from the Great Eastern desert brought spices and slaves to the Thalos
Market. Dwarven miners, rough and rude, sold precious stones and drank the
town dry of firebreathers. Stone golems, created by mages from the Tower of
High Sorcery, stood sentry duty in the watch towers.
It was dawn on the Day of Thunder. The Mayor of Darkhaven (great-grand-father
of today's Mayor) arrived early to pay tribute at City Hall. He entered the
Grand Gate unchallenged. He found the streets and markets empty. Seeing a
nearby lamia, he asked her about the residents. Where were all the people?
The lamia didn't act like a lamia. Instead of answering him in the helpful but
stupid lamia manner, she stabbed the Mayor with a long, slim dagger. Other
lamias, hearing the tumult, arrived and attacked. The Mayor was killed.
Now Thalos is abandoned. Wild lamias roam the streets, killing intruders and
sacrificing their bodies at the Temple of Thalos. The golems no longer respond
to command and now watch eternally from their ruined towers.
Darkhaven may be next.

~
0 CHANGES~
This entry contains recent changes made to this mud.
----------------------------------------------------
Online building is now implemented.
This includes rooms, mobiles, objects and resets.
Clans are now in.
The monsters now hunt you down if you flee.
~
0 DAMAGE~
When one character attacks another, the severity of the damage is shown in the
verb used in the damage message. Here are all the damage verbs listed from
least damage to most damage:
barely scratch scratch graze hit
injure wound maul decimate
devastate maim MUTILATE DISEMBOWEL
EVISCERATE MASSACRE OBLITERATE ANNIHILATE
The message shown will reflect the actual damage you are doing to that
particular monster, and not a specific fixed amount of damage.
~
0 DEATH~
When your character dies, you are reincarnated back at the Altar of the Temple
of Darkhaven. Or your clan's temple. Your corpse is left behind in the room
where you were killed, together with all of your equipment. Your gold stays
with you (God wants you to have your gold).
Any spells which were affecting you are canceled by death.
Following and groups are not affected by death.
You lose experience points for dying. The amount you lose is back to the
beginning of your level. Thus if you have a bad day and die several times,
the penalties won't clobber you.
Corpses decay after time, and the objects inside corpses decay with them.
Player corpses last *roughly* 30 hours of game time (15 minutes of real time).
Only the player who died, or someone in the same group, can retrieve objects
from a player's corpse.
~
0 EXPERIENCE LEVEL XP~
Your character advances in power by gaining experience.
Type LEVEL to see how many experience points you'll need
for the next few levels.
You gain experience by:
inflicting damage upon a monster
being part of a group that kills a monster
succeeding while learning a skill or a spell through real world usage
You lose experience by:
fleeing from combat
recalling out of combat
being the target of certain spells
dying
The experience you get from a kill depends on several things: how many players
are in your group; your level versus the level of the monster; your alignment
versus the monster's alignment and some random variation.
~
0 SEARCH~
Syntax: search
Syntax: search <container>
Sometimes not all there is to find is in clear view. Some things may be
concealed or hidden, and will require some searching to find.
~
0 PULL PUSH LEVERS PULLCHAINS SWITCHES BUTTONS~
Syntax: pull <trigger>
Syntax: push <trigger>
Levers, switches, pullchains and buttons can do all sorts of interesting
things... open or unlock doors, change exits around, teleport you to another
location, cast a spell, summon a monster... you name it!
~
0 PET PETS~
You can buy pets in the pet shop. You may buy one more pet each time you
advance in level. Your pet-buying opportunities do not accumulate; use them or
lost them. This policy prevents wholesale abuse of pets.
You are responsible for the actions of your pets.
~
0 TICK~
Many of the game actions are based upon interval timers, including combat,
most autonomous monster actions, hp/mana/move regeneration, spell duration,
weather, and area resetting.
Of these timers, the hp/mana/move regeneration timer is popularly called the
'tick'. Ticks on this mud average 30 seconds of real time, but the actual
amount varies randomly from 15 seconds to 45 seconds.
Area resetting happens roughly every 3 minutes if no one is in the area; less
often (15 minutes) if some one is. Also note that objects lying on the ground
will not be regenerated if anyone is in the area when it resets.
You can tell when an area is about to reset by the squeeking noises.
~
0 !~
Syntax: !
! repeats the last command you typed.
~
0 NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST UP DOWN~
Syntax: north
Syntax: south
Syntax: east
Syntax: west
Syntax: up
Syntax: down
Use these commands to walk in a particular direction.
~
0 CAST~
Syntax: cast <spell> <target>
Before you can cast a spell, you have to practice it. The more you practice,
the higher chance you have of success when casting. Casting spells costs mana.
The mana cost decreases as your level increases.
The <target> is optional. Many spells which need targets will use an
appropriate default target, especially during combat.
If the spell name is more than one word, then you must quote the spell name.
Example: cast 'cure critic' frag. Quoting is optional for single-word spells.
You can abbreviate the spell name.
When you cast an offensive spell, the victim usually gets a saving throw.
The effect of the spell is reduced or eliminated if the victim makes the
saving throw successfully.
See also the help sections for individual spells.
~
0 EXITS~
Syntax: exits
Tells you the visible exits of the room you are in. Not all exits are visible.
You can use the 'bump' technique to find hidden exits. (Try to walk in a
certain direction and see what you bump into).
~
0 DROP GET GIVE PUT TAKE~
Syntax: drop <object>
Syntax: drop <amount> coins
Syntax: get <object>
Syntax: get <object> <container>
Syntax: give <object> <character>
Syntax: give <amount> coins <character>
Syntax: put <object> <container>
DROP drops an object, or some coins, on the ground.
GET gets an object, either lying on the ground, or from a container, or even
from a corpse. TAKE is a synonym for get.
GIVE gives an object, or some coins, to another character.
PUT puts an object into a container.
DROP, GET and PUT understand the object names 'ALL' for all objects and
'ALL.object' for all objects with the same name.
~
0 EQUIPMENT INVENTORY~
Syntax: equipment
Syntax: inventory
EQUIPMENT lists your equipment (armor, weapons, and held items).
INVENTORY lists your inventory.
~
0 COMPARE~
Syntax: compare <object-1> <object-2>
Syntax: compare <object>
COMPARE compares two objects in your inventory. If both objects are weapons,
it will report the one with the better average damage. If both objects are
armor, it will report the one with the better armor class.
COMPARE with one argument compares an object in your inventory to the object
you are currently wearing or wielding of the same type.
COMPARE doesn't consider any special modifiers of the objects.
~
0 BACKSTAB BS DISARM KILL MURDER~
Syntax: backstab <character>
Syntax: disarm
Syntax: kick
Syntax: kill <character>
Syntax: murder <character>
KILL starts a fight, and, hopefully, kills something. BACKSTAB is another way
to start a fight, used by thieves. BS is a synonym for BACKSTAB.
MURDER is used to kill other player characters. There are restrictions on
murdering low level players, and there are penalties for using MURDER.
DISARM is an auxiliary fighting command to disarm your opponent. Similarly,
KICK will inflict more damage during combat by kicking.
In order to BACKSTAB, DISARM, or KICK successfully, you must practice
the appropriate skill.
~
0 FLEE RESCUE~
Syntax: flee
Syntax: rescue <character>
Once you start a fight, you can't just walk away from it. If the fight
is not going well, you can attempt to FLEE, or another character can
RESCUE you.
If you lose your link during a fight, then your character will keep
fighting, and will attempt to RECALL from time to time. Your chances
of making the recall are reduced, and you will lose much more experience.
In order to RESCUE successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill.
~
0 EXAMINE LOOK~
Syntax: look
Syntax: look <object>
Syntax: look <character>
Syntax: look <direction>
Syntax: look <keyword>

EXAMINE is short for 'LOOK container' followed by 'LOOK IN container'.
~
0 ORDER~
Syntax: order <character> command
Syntax: order all command
ORDER orders one or all of your charmed followers (including pets) to
perform any command. The command may have arguments. You are responsible
for the actions of your followers, and others who attack your followers
will incur the same penalty as if they attacked you directly.
Most charmed creatures lose their aggresive nature (while charmed).
If your charmed creature engages in combat, that will break the charm.
~
0 REST SLEEP STAND WAKE~
Syntax: rest
Syntax: sleep
Syntax: stand
Syntax: wake
These commands change your position. When you REST or SLEEP, you
regenerate hit points, mana points, and movement points faster.
However, you are more vulnerable to attack, and if you SLEEP,
you won't hear many things happen.
Use STAND or WAKE to come back to a standing position. You can
also WAKE other sleeping characters.
~
0 GTELL ; REPLY SAY TELL~
Syntax: gtell <message>
Syntax: say <message>
Syntax: tell <character> <message>
All of these commands send messages to other players. GTELL sends a message to
all of the characters in your group, wherever they are, even if they are
sleeping or stunned or dying. ';' is a synonym for GTELL.
SAY sends a message to all awake players in your room. The single quote '''
is a synonym for SAY.
TELL sends a message to one awake player anywhere in the world.
REPLY sends a message to the last player who sent you a TELL. REPLY will work
even if you can't see the player, and without revealing their identity. This
is handy for talking to invisible or switched immortal players.

Syntax: note read all
Syntax: note write

Syntax: auction <message>
Syntax: chat <message>
Syntax: music <message>
Syntax: question <message>
Syntax: answer <message>
Syntax: shout <message>
Syntax: yell <message>
These commands send messages through communication channels to other players.
SHOUT sends a message to all awake players in the world. To curb excessive
shouting, SHOUT imposes a three-second delay on the shouter.
AUCTION, CHAT, MUSIC, and QUESTION and ANSWER also send messages to all
interested players. '.' is a synonym for CHAT. The QUESTION and ANSWER
commands both use the same 'question' channel
YELL sends a message to all awake players within your area.
You can use the CHANNELS command to hear, or not hear, any of these channels.

it as equipment. HOLD is for light sources, wands, and staves. WEAR is for
armor. WIELD is for weapons.
WEAR ALL will attempt to HOLD, WEAR, or WIELD each suitable item in your
inventory.
You may not be able to HOLD, WEAR, or WIELD an item if its alignment does not

to use it properly.

inventory.

-1 _DIEMSG_~
...Everything begins to fade to black.
You feel yourself leaving your body... rising up into the air, you feel
more free than you have ever felt before...
However, before your deity comes to collect your soul, you feel a strange
pulling sensation as strange and colorful mists swirl around you...
~
-1 M_BALZHUR_~
Suddenly out of nowhere, a hideous beast appears, bringing with it the
horrible smell of brimstone, death and decay!
The demon gives you the most evil and spine tingling sneer that makes you
fall to your knees, and release your bladder...
The next second, the immense mass of slimey muscle and claws is all over you
...shredding you to a bloody mess!
Mercifully, everything goes black as it moves its widening maw towards your
head...
~
-1 M_GODLVL1_~
...Everything begins to fade to black.
You feel yourself leaving your body... rising up into the air, you feel
indeed much more free than you have ever felt before...
You float high into the heavens... a vortex of ever-changing curved beams
of colored light swirling around you faster and faster...
Your soul is bursting with emotions you can barely conceive...
You feel a burning inside... both cold and hot... a tingle of electricity
grows into a powerful buzzing surge jolting through every inch of your body.
A strange chorus of voices begins to sing indecipherable and long forgotten
words... the singing grows louder and louder... a million voices as one.
You feel yourself losing touch with reality... and all goes quiet.
~
-1 M_GODLVL2_~
...You begin to feel light-headed.
Your hands begin to tingle softly...
The feeling quickly grows into a strange radiating pulse of energy!
The tingle rises up your arms and into your head, filing your mind with
visions of worlds of wonder, far off places, great towers, vast mountains,
oceans, seas, lush valleys, dark caverns and twisted passages...
You sense a feeling of wonderous potential and power in your hands...
Enough power to build and create these visions for yourself!
You feel much more powerful, eager and inspired!
~
-1 M_GODLVL3_~
...You feel slightly faint as your head begins to spin.
Your hands begin to tingle once more...
A vortex of energy starts to swirl throughout your hands, going faster
and faster... becoming almost painful!
Beams of light break through your skin, one at a time, then more and
more until the light is almost to bright to bear...
As your squint your eyes, you perceive a vision of great beasts of wonder,
dangerous and unnatural fiends, pixies, faeries, tribes and clans, peoples
of all kinds, ancient forgotten artifacts, weapons of vast untapped powers,
crystal balls, magick rings, staves, wands, rods, arcane tomes of untold
secrets... your mind is bursting with inspiration...
You sense a new, reborn feeling of unlimited potential and power...
In your hands the power to build and create these visions for yourself!
The bright light from your hands fades away... but strange faint glow
remains always.

0 MAGICUSER MAGE MAGES~
A mage is one of the weakest class when it comes to body, but their minds
have no par. As a mage you will start off weak. Then as you grow in knowledge
and power, you will become a fighting force equal to the fiercest warrior.
Mages' spells are varied and sundry, but they get many more combat spells
than clerics do. With a mage's vast repitoire of useful spells you will
become a much sought after commodity on the MUD. For your spells can mean
vistory or defeat for other players.
~
0 THIEF THIEVES~
The thief is a dark character with many skills that the rest of society would
not usually accept as proper. A thieves' skills reflect his way of life,
namely sneaking in the dark,picking locks, and attacking from behind.
Thieves always have a bad reputation so don't be suprised if you are always
under sucpicion. Thieves also start off fairly weak, but with the addition of
backstab to their skills, they become a dangerous foe. A thief is always
usefull when there is a lock that needs opening or an item that needs to be
stolen.
~
0 CLERIC CLERICS~
A cleric is a healer and protector of the weak. Cleric's have in their control
many varied and sundry healing spells. Cleric's also have spells that affect
one's chances in battle, and one's armor. Cleric do get some combat spells,
but their spells are just not geared towards combat. A cleric is a fountain
of wisdom that many players rely on.
~
0 WARRIOR WARRIORS~
A warrior is your basic fighter type. They can use all weapons and armours
and are the best at basic combat. A warrior must be strong in body to
survive his dangerous lifestyle. As a warrior you would be a fighting force
to be reckoned with, but your skills would be few. Warrior may not learn any
spells at all. And warriors have no need for mana.
~
0 VAMPIRE VAMPIRES~
Vampires are powerful beings that require a lot of fresh blood.
The vampire class is still under development, but here is a brief
summary of how they compare to the other classes:
Vampires use blood points (bp) instead of mana, for casting spells.
Blood points will also be lost by taking large amounts of damage during
battle.
Spare blood points can save a vampire during battle by providing a small
burst of extra hit points (hp).
Vampires get a penalty to armor class during the day, and a bonus during
the night. (More bonuses and penalties to come.)
~
0 FEED~
Vampires require copious amounts of blood to function properly, and
sometimes a little puddle isn't enough to satisfy his craving. So Vampires
get a chance to grapple with and try and bite the neck of their opponents.
If the bite succeeds, then a little damage is done, and you gain some blood.
~
0 RACE RACES~
There are 5 races in the Realms of Despair.
Look at the individual help files for specific info:
HUMAN - The generic race. Nothing great. Nothing bad.
DWARF - Short, hardy, and hairy.
ELF - Tall, thin, swift like the wind. Likes nature.
Halfling - Short, quick, furry, mischevious.
PIXIE - Very small, wings, smart.
~
0 HUMAN~
Humans are the most numerous and least unusual of the races.
Humans have no special bonuses to their stats, but neither do they have
any penalties.
A human is a bipedal being with 2 arms 2 legs and a roundish head. Amazingly,
Humans have a very strange tendancy to look different from each other. Almost
no humans look exactly alike.
~
0 ELF ELVES~
Elves are tall, slender creatures with an affinity for the woods and nature.
Elves are distant cousins to the pixies, and they share the intelligence and
dexterity; only to a lesser degree.
Elves make good just about anything, except fighters. The Majority of elves
prefer to stay close to nature so many become druids.
~
0 HALFLING~
Halflings are short slender and very, very mischevous. Halflings know no
equals in dexterity, and enjoy the thrill of stealing valuables from other
people. These short people are mostly in the thief class, for obvious reasons.
Knowing no fear causes these people to be ferocious fighters in addition to
their amzing dexterity.
~
0 PIXIE~
Pixies are small elfin creatures with gossamer wings. Pixies are very much
more intelligent than most other races but their strength and constitution
suffers from their small size. So far pixies do not get the innate ability
to fly but that may come soon. :)
Pixies make the best mages. Tho they are fairly weak of body, their minds
know no equal.
~
0 WIMPY~
Syntax: wimpy
Syntax: wimpy <number>
WIMPY sets your wimpy value. When your character takes damage that reduces
your hit points below your wimpy value, you will automatically attempt to flee.

The nature of the reward depends upon the type of object.
Hint: God likes corpses.
~
0 BRANDISH QUAFF RECITE ZAP~
Syntax: brandish
Syntax: quaff <potion>
Syntax: recite <scroll> <target>
Syntax: zap <target>
Syntax: zap
BRANDISH brandishes a magical staff. QUAFF quaffs a magical potion (as opposed
to DRINK, which drinks mundane liquids). RECITE recites a magical scroll; the
<target> is optional, depending on the nature of the scroll. ZAP zaps a
magical wand at a target. If the target is not specified, and you are fighting
someone, then that character is used for a target.
You must HOLD a wand or a staff before using BRANDISH or ZAP.
All of these commands use up their objects. Potions and scrolls have a single
charge. Wands and staves have multiple charges. When a magical object has no
more charges, it will be consumed.
~
0 CONSIDER~
Syntax: consider <character>
CONSIDER tells you what your chances are of killing a character.
Of course, it's only a rough estimate.
~
0 FOLLOW GROUP~
Syntax: follow <character>
Syntax: group
Syntax: group <character>
FOLLOW starts you following another character. To stop following anyone else,
just FOLLOW <yourself>.
GROUP <character> makes someone who is following you a member of your group.
Group members share experience points from kills and may use the GTELL and
SPLIT commands. If anyone in your group is attacked, you will automatically
join the fight.
If the <character> is already a member of your group, then GROUP will
kick out the <character> from your group. Characters can also leave your
group by using a FOLLOW command to stop following you.
GROUP with no argument shows statistics for each character in your group.
You may FOLLOW and GROUP only with characters who are within five levels of
your own.
~
0 HIDE SNEAK VISIBLE~
Syntax: HIDE
Syntax: SNEAK
Syntax: VISIBLE
If you successfully HIDE, then other characters can't see you.
If you successfully SNEAK, then you can move in and out of rooms without
being noticed.
In order to HIDE or SNEAK successfully, you must practice the appropriate
skill.
VISIBLE cancels your hiding and sneaking, as well as any invisibility,
making you visible again.
~
0 QUIT RENT SAVE~
Syntax: QUIT
Syntax: RENT ... not!
Syntax: SAVE
SAVE saves your character and objects. You must be at least second level to
save. The game will auto-save your character every few minutes whether you
save or not.
Some objects, such as keys and potions, may not be saved.
QUIT leaves the game. You may QUIT anywhere, although there is an experience
penalty for quitting outside of Darkhaven. When you re-enter the game you will
be back in the same room.
QUIT automatically does a SAVE, so you can safely leave the game with just one
command. Nevertheless it's a good idea to SAVE before QUIT. If you get into
the habit of using QUIT without SAVE, and then you play some other mud that
doesn't save before quitting, you're going to regret it.
There is no RENT in this mud. Just SAVE and QUIT whenever you want to leave.
~
0 RECALL /~
Syntax: recite recall
With a scroll of recall you can get yourself back to your home town when you
are lost or stuck. These scrolls are available at the wizard's shop in

a good deal of pain. ;)
~
0 STEAL~
Syntax: STEAL coins <character>
Syntax: STEAL <object> <character>
STEAL attempts to steal coins, or an object, from a character.
There are penalties for using STEAL on other players.
In order to STEAL successfully, you must practice the appropriate skill.
~
0 PRACTICE~
Syntax: PRACTICE
Syntax: PRACTICE <skill|spell>
PRACTICE without an argument tells you your current ability level in all
the skills and spells available to you. You can check this anywhere.

percentage varies from 0% (unlearned) to a some maximum between 80% and 100%,
depending on your class. You must be at a guild master to practice.

session. The higher your wisdom, the more practice sessions you will
have each time you gain a level. Unused sessions are saved until you
do use them.
~
60 ADVANCE~
Syntax: advance <character> <level>
ADVANCE sets a character's level to the specified value. It is the
only way to create new immortal characters within the game. ADVANCE
may also be used to demote characters.
~
60 TRUST~
Syntax: trust <character> <level>
TRUST sets a character's trust to the specified level. This is similar to
advancing the character for accessing immortal commands, but has no effect
on combat strength, et cetera. You can give more trust to mortal (or
immortal) characters to give them access to more power without messing up
the character. You can also restrict a player's trust to less than their
natural level.
A trust of 0 means to use the character's natural level again.
~
55 ALLOW BAN~
Syntax: allow <site>
Syntax: ban <site>
Syntax: ban
BAN <site> prohibits players from that site from logging in. BAN with
no arguments lists the banned sites. ALLOW <site> removes a site from
the ban list.
The site ban test works by suffix comparison, so if you ban 'foo.edu',
all sites within 'foo.edu' are banned as well.
Site bans are not saved; every time the server is rebooted, the site
ban list is cleared.
~
58 REBOOT SHUTDOWN WIZLOCK~
Syntax: reboot
Syntax: shutdown
Syntax: wizlock
REBOOT shuts down the server. When the normal 'startup' script is used
to control the server, a delay of sixty seconds will ensue (to allow
old connections to die), followed by a reboot.
SHUTDOWN shuts down the server and prevents the normal 'startup' script
from restarting it.
WIZLOCK is a toggle command. When the server is WIZLOCKed, players
below level 51 may not log in. Players who lose their links, however,
may reconnect.
~
56 DENY DISCONNECT FREEZE~
Syntax: deny <character>
Syntax: disconnect <character>
Syntax: freeze <character>
DENY denies access to a particular player and throws them out of the game.
DENY is permanent (persists across reboots) and is not undoable from within the
game. Only someone with access to the player files directory may repeal a
DENY by editing the appropriate player file.
DISCONNECT <character> immediately disconnects that character.
FREEZE <character> is a toggle which prevents a character from issuing any
commands at all.
~
55 FORCE~
Syntax: force <character> <command>
Syntax: force all <command>
FORCE forces one character to execute a command.

USERS reports all of the visible users connected to the server, including users
in the process of logging in.
The first number, (desc), is the descriptor number that this user is on.
The second number is the user's connected state. (See CONSTATES)
The third number is the number of seconds the user has been idle.
The fourth number is the remote TCP port on the user's host machine.
Next is the user's character name, then the user's host address.
(Usually the IP number as name resolving is normally disabled.)
The FORCECLOSE command can be used to force a connect to close by its
descriptor number.
~
52 CONSTATES~
