0 IMMORTAL IMMORT GOD WIZARD WIZ~
'Immortal' (often, simply, 'imm') refers to players who have reached
the highest attainable levels in the game. Here, anyone of level 102
or higher is an 'immortal.' Immortals are capable of exceeding the
usual game rules, in more drastic and pervasive ways as levels increase examples range from teleportation and invisibility to mortal sight to
creation of objects, removal of a player's privileges (channels,
ability to move, or even ability to log in), and ability to promote
players to immortality.
Since immortals can wreak havoc with game balance, they are (ideally)
a carefully-chosen and policed group. An absolute rule of immortal
behavior is that no immortal can aid or assist any player without
explicit permission from the higher ranks; in other words, please
don't ask an immortal to help you kill a mob, gather EQ, etc, or
you'll likely be either politely or rudely refused, or referred to
this file.
The duties of immortals, is simply to make the game fun and enjoyable, No
they are not always very nice sweet people they do work hard to build a
mud that players can try and find a escape from real life. The very idea
of immortals is a topic of heavy and heated debates, and are fraught with
misconceptions, poor examples, and outrageous hypocrisies. :)

The Knights of Takhisis is a clan born out of the ruin of the Dragonarmies. Avoiding the pitfalls that plagued the Dragonarmies and brought about their own self-destruction,
the Knights of Takhisis were formed to be the elite fighting force to further the cause of the Dark Queen Takhisis herself.
Through careful study of the enemy forces of the Solamnic Knights, it was found that they in fact posses some admiral though the Solamnic Knights are overall flawed. The Knights of Takhisis adopted some of these principles and improved where things
were lacking. qualities,
Thus was born a group worthy of serving Takhisis. Its members are devoutly loyal to her and each other. In fact, their very lives are expendable for the good of the clan. Those who fail to live up to this devotion faces but one thing: death.
The Knights of Takhisis are a prime example of pride and honor, much more than the arrogant Solamnic Knights. New members of the Knights of Takhisis are usually those who have been trained to serve since childhood,
though many of the older members are remnants of the fallen Dragonarmies who have accepted the weakness of the former methods of serving Takhisis.
The Knights of Takhisis are made up of three orders of knights, each focusing on their own goals but coming together to compliment one another.

vagrants, instead they are an organized team, each one loyal to the rest of
their brotherhood. Also known as the Brotherhood of Shadows, the men and
women within this great "family" would be considered honorable, if not for
their choice of profession. Each member gives a part of their spoils to the
group as a whole, to help the less fortunate members of the group as a
whole. Any race is allowed, except for warriors, and race/deity matters
not, only skills. If you are not of thief class, you MUST Rp as a thief, if

0 Builder~
Builders are a crazy lot, they take pride in there work and have no problems talking about the area for long hours.
To begin a Builder for this mud you have twice options you can try and use.
the First being a Mortal Builder, all Mortals wishing to build should send a E-Maill to Takhisis at: Takhisis_legends_lance@dragonlance.zzn.com She will need to have information such as where have you built before.
how often you can build, how much can you build, how good you are with time tables.
so that she can proccess this quickly please use subject: Mortal Builder Legends :so that she can be sure to read it.
The last option is to become a Immortal, hmm just ask a Immortal how to do that.
~
102 JOBS~
This is a partial list of what a god of any given level should be doing. It is
not complete yet.
Builders:(102-103)
You main job as a builder is to come up with Ideas for new areas and to
let the Headbuilders know, they will take the idea to a imp for approvel. You
May run Quests with the help of Higher up Immortals, Just don't expect to
be allowed to go crazy with your quests.
Questers:(104-105)
Questers have two main roles: Building and quest running. You can draft
Builders to help you run a quest, and please note that quests should NOT have
huge rewards -- the main point should be to have fun. Questers have no
business trying to enforce rules -- the most you should do to a player is
NOCHANNEL or similar light punishment.
Gods:(106-108)
Gods can run quests just like Questers, and it's nice to do reimbursements
too. However, the main role of a God is keeping the peace. Gods can
enforce (but not create rules), using the various NOTELL-class commands,
as well as deny, purge, freeze, and ban (but be careful with these
commands!) Gods are expected to help make the mud run more smoothly,
power trips are strictly verbotten.
Not fufilling the roles of your office can result in demotion or deletion.

common sense here folks. Do not load items more than 4 levels
