The time in the game runs 12 times faster than real time, thus each hour is 5 minutes long, and each day is 2 hours long. There are 14 days per month and a total of nine months per year. Thus a Valhalla month passes in 28 hours, and a year passes in 252 hours (10 days and 12 hours).
In one real year 35 Valhalla years pass.

See Also:Dwarves and Gnomes share the third oldest race spot. The are often mistaken for dwellers of the earth (thats just where they tend to work) They have an affinity for precious and rare metals. Dwarves tend to be exceptionally skilled at making weapons and armor. They have an inborn hatred for giants and their kin. Dwarves are a very strong and hardy race thus they make excellent fighters. They tend to rely on force of arm rather than spells so dwarven mages are rare, though a few dwarven healers are known to travel the world.

Darkelves are elves that have turned away from the divine light of nature. They were unsatisfied with the humble power granted to them by Frey so they left the forests and retreated to underground caverns to study the powerful magic of sorcerers and necromancy, while keeping their ability to be strong fighters or thieves. Most are dual or triple classed in these guilds. Their divine magic is weak however, having broken their ties to nature. They tend to still share their forest dwelling cousins reduced stature, and are slightly less dextrous then they could be. After several hundred years they have built an extensive labyrinth of underground caverns and cities constantly seeking to bring other races under their power. Most goblinkind will follow them willingly and half-orcs can't seem to keep away from them. Their thirst for power and dominion is so great that they twisted and corrupted nature to create the monstrosity of Troll's to further their cause.

Clans are designed to accomodate relatively small groups of people who want to join together for a common purpose. Clan benefits include a home, a tattoo, a secure clan channel, a clan bulletin board, a clan donation chest, and more.
To start a clan the person who wishes to be the Clan Master simply goes to Douglas and uses the APPLY command. The application will get sent to the Clan gods who will approve it, write your clan home, and install it into Valhalla. When this is done you simply go back to Douglas and use the CHECK command. He will give the Clan Master powers to you and giving you the ability to induct members, expel members, retire, and more.
Any problems or questions regarding clans should be sent to the Clan gods, or failing that, to the mud administrators (see WIZLIST for names).

When you die you loose some of your experience points. How many you loose depends largely on your current level, how much you need for the next level, etc. If your exp is -exp to level you will lose all that exp. It is a good idea to level as soon as you can.
After you die you will be transported to Valhalla, and upon release from Valhalla you will need to go back to the location where you died to retrieve your equipment.
If you have died an alternate way out of 'Valhalla' is to have someone cast ressurect or raise dead on you. You still lose the experience points but it shortens your stay and you are returned to the game where you died with all your items.
