'BROWNIES'

Brownies are the protectors of the forest. They are slightly smaller than halflings and live in small hidden villages in a ring midway between the center and edge of the elven forests. No one is certain where the brownies came from, though some stories tell of a romance between a halfling explorer and a pixie. Brownies serve as the ambassadors of the fairy folk to the outside world. Brownie magic is one of the most powerful upon the world, leaning toward conjugation and sorcery ...summoned armies and rains of lightning bolts are enough to convince any hostile force to think twice about invading their home. Brownies also have a natural knack for hiding and sneaking and getting into small spaces, thus making fairly good thieves. They share their hatred of goblinkind with the elves and will not hesitate to use their powers to destroy them whenever possible.

'BEGINNERS'

Welcome to Valhalla. We hope you'll enjoy playing this game. You are now playing a character in the game. You control this character by typing in commands and pressing telling the game to execute the command. If text is written on the screen while you are writing the command, just continue with whatever you were typing, what you have written will NOT be lost.

The first commands that you will want to know are these:

All commands can be abbreviated. Thus the command 'look' can be abbreviated to just 'l'. Names of things and items can NOT be abbreviated, you must write their full name to refer to them. Be careful! Learn which abbreviations trigger which commands. For instance, 's' is an abbreviation for 'south' not 'say', here you must use the abbreviation 'sa' for 'say'.

If you haven't saved your character yet, you are here as a guest and your character is forgotten as soon as you quit. If you decide to begin playingseriously, use the save command to keep your character.

If you need further help, try to use the help command differently, by putting a word behind it, such as 'help commands' which will show you a sample of commands. 'help' followed by a command often reveals the full use of a command. Try this on 'look'.

To say something type 'say' and a space, and then the sentence you wish to say. For example 'say hello world!' (don't type the '').

To quit playing, type 'quit'.

'BOOK OF BLOOD' 'BOOK' 'BOB'

The book of blood is the one and only way that a player will be alloud to PK on the mud. Basically after level 10, you go to the library in Midgaard and sign the book. Once you sign the book you may never have your pk flag removed, do NOT bother to ask the gods to remove it. There should NEVER be an instance where a non-book of blood signer is PKed or PKing. If this happens it is considered bug abuse and grounds for deletion. The killing of a wanted player is not concidered pking. Here is a list of SOME of the rules of BoB and their penalties.

  1. A NON BoB may not ever PK, Steal from or Loot players.
    PENALTY: PK flagged for life
  2. A BoB may not ever PK, Steal from or Loot NON-BoB players
    PENALTY: loss 25% exp, if the player continues deletion.
  3. A NON BoB may never assist a Bob in killing (i.e. healing a Bob)
  4. A NON BoB may NEVER take items from another's corpse or cause anthers corpse to be lost/destroyed by means of a dump/mob or any other means.
    PENALTY: PK flagged for life
In the above named instances PK means:
