| .:. Darkfriend |
A Darkfriend is a person who has elected to serve the Dark One, though reasons vary widely. Some choose to serve the Dark out of a lust for power, others out of a hope for immortality, and more. Darkfriend male channelers can earn protection from the madness and rot caused by the Dark One's taint on Saidin. Aes Sedai Darkfriends, the so called Black Ajah, are no longer bound by the Three Oaths. Joining the Darkfriends Three easy steps: 1. Mudmail the Shadow Immortal(s) a background for the character seeking to join. Include the name of the character, why the character would want to join the Darkfriends, and how best to approach the character in an IC manner. 2. Wait. The Shadow will find you. 3. Be Patient. The Shadow will find you. Roleplay is required to join, much the same as any guild, but unlike other guilds, you will probably not know when you are RPing with people who could sponsor you. Endless bugging of the Shadow Staff will not assist your application and could, in fact, hinder it. See steps 2 and 3 above. For any further questions, contact a Shadow Immortal. |
| :: Beginning |
| .:. Darkfriends |
The Shadow calls to people for a wide variety of reasons. Some are lured to swear their souls to the Dark One by promises of immortality, others by whispers of fulfilled ambition, and still others just because it lets them commit the horrible acts that they yearn to commit. A few sell themselves to the Shadow because they see its victory as inevitable, and they hope to salvage something noble from the fall of humanity, but the Father of Lies is well- named, and these few usually find themselves dying in vain. Whatever causes Darkfriends to give themselves to the Shadow, they do gain benefits from their service. Male Channelers, if they prove themselves useful, gain protection from the Dark One's Taint upon Saidin. Male channelers and female alike gain access to forbidden knowledge, and those Darkfriends who have proven themselves time and again are sometimes even given command over Trollocs and other Shadowspawn. There are, of course, drawbacks to giving service to the Shadow. Darkfriends are asked to do terrible things to further the cause of the Lord of the Grave, and the Dark One is not an easy master. He does not care over-much for any but his most powerful servants, and even they are on tenuous ground if they fail over-much. Beyond that, the most frequent way for Darkfriends to move up in the esteem of their Great Lord is over the bodies of their erstwhile superiors, so even the most powerful of Darkfriends cannot sit easily. But then again... what other power in all of the world can offer you the benefit of immortality if you serve well and true? Joining the Shadow Players wishing to have their characters start the game as Darkfriends or wishing for their characters to become Darkfriends should contact the Shadow Immortal. They will need to send in a Background via mudmail, along with a detailed explanation of either how they were recruited to the Shadow or the best way to recruit their character to the Shadow through Roleplay. |

| .:. DEATH |
A Player Kill occurs when one player attacks another player. When a PK is initiated, the players involved enter into code combat and fight until one or more of them runs away or dies. Please keep in mind that Pkilling is always In Character. It is highly advised that you read the Policy regarding Pkilling before ever attempting it. To view this policy, type: <policy PK> If the player attacking you has SUBDUE turned on, a deadly blow knocks you out instead of killing you. Otherwise, to avoid dying in a Pkill fight you must flee and escape the battle. When you die to anything other than another player, you lose some experience. A death at the hands of another player costs none. Death does not take your gold or your skills. You wake up in Wisdom's House. See also: Combat, Flee, Subdue, Recreate |

A ship is kept ready by the hands working her. Deckwork is the skill of tending a ship: her boarding plank, her sails, her anchor and her docking lines. You must have learned the skill, and you must be aboard a ship to use it. Syntax: > deckwork <task> > deckwork status Choose gangplank, dock, sails or anchor. Each task reverses its current setting: raised sails are lowered, for example. Work the gangplank at the plank itself; do the rest from the deck. deckwork gangplank raises a lowered boarding plank, or lowers a raised one. The plank can only be lowered while the ship is docked. deckwork dock ties the ship up, or lets her loose. She will not undock while the boarding plank is lowered, nor dock while the anchor is down or the sails are raised. deckwork sails raises or lowers the sails. They will not go up while the ship is docked or the anchor is down. deckwork anchor raises or lowers the anchor. It will not go down while the ship is docked or the sails are raised. deckwork status tells you whether the ship is docked, and how the plank, sails and anchor are set.

| .:. dialects |
Dialects While all people in the current world of the "Wheel of Time" speak the common language, or the "new tongue", not all of them speak the language in the same way. The following is a list of notable dialects from the world of the "Wheel of Time": Cairhien: The Cairhienin speak in a precise, clipped accent, enunciating every word. Their speech is characterized by a distinctive musical accent. Illian: Illianers do speak a unique version of the common language, one that does use the word 'do' as an auxiliary before most verbs, and do no be having the usual forms of the verb 'to be'. Example: "You can no go into the palace alone. You say you will no channel unless you must, no to warn these Black Aes Sedai. Then you must have muscle to swing a club if the need do arise, and eyes to watch your backs will no be amiss either. I am known there, to the servants. I did take gifts to the old Panarch too. I will go with you. You do make me stretch my neck on the headsman's block because I did leave you at Falme. Fortune prick me if you do no! Well, it do be done now; you can no object to this! I will go in with you." (Bayle Domon to Nynaeve and Elayne; The Shadow Rising, Chapter 54) Murandy: Murandians are often described as having a lilting accent. (NS, Ch. 5; CoT, Ch. 10) Saldaea: While Saldeans do not have a pronounced dialect they have developed a special language of the fans. Saldaean women can use to convey anything from a simple 'yes' or 'no' to an eloquent declaration of love. Seanchan: The Seanchan speak their own dialect of Common, which seems heavily accented and slurred to most westlanders. Their speech is laced with terms from the Old Tongue. Tarabon: Taraboner commoners use a unique grammar for the common tongue. The speakers, they use nouns and pronouns together, yes? Example: "We will need to negotiate with those sisters who remain in the Tower," Beonin mused, only half to herself. "The Amyrlin we choose, she must be a skilled negotiator, yes?" (Beonin to Sheriam and the rest of the Salidar leaders; The Fires of Heaven, Chapter 27) For more help on specific languages, please see: Old Tongue, New Tongue, Common, Ogier Tongue, Trolloc Tongue |

| .:. Dice |
The Dice command allows players to insert a random element into their Roleplay. This can be used to solve disputes or to simulate IC games of chance. The syntax for the Dice command is as follows: Dice <number of dice to be rolled> <number of sides per die> <modifier to roll> For example, "Dice 1 6 1" would roll one six-sided die and add one to the result. Dice are always totalled, never counted separately, and all modifiers must be positive. It is quite possible to roll dice with a physically impossible number of sides. An easy way to simulate the popular WoT dice game "Pips" is to use "Dice 5 6 0." The highest roll wins, unless any of the characters rolls a number divisible by five, in which case it is assumed that the character rolled the same number on each die. The only exception to the above rule is a total roll of 5, in which case the character has rolled The Dark One's Eyes (all ones), and loses. This system simulates a significantly higher chance of rolling all the same number, but that only adds a little excitement to the game. See also: TOSS |

| .:. DISABLE |
Combat picks one of your known forms for you when you fight without naming one. Disable takes a form out of that rotation, and enable puts it back. Players use it when the game keeps choosing a form they would rather not use. Syntax: > disable 'form name' > enable 'form name' Example: > forms > disable 'slash from right' > enable 'slash from right' Use the name shown by forms; the case does not matter. One-word names need no quotes. Put a name of more than one word in single or double quotes so it is read as one name. With no name, either command shows its syntax. The commands only work on your own forms. A name you do not know answers Form not found., and turning one off twice answers that it is already disabled. Enabled forms print normally in the forms list; a disabled form prints in a different colour there, which is how you check the state you are in. What disabling does: When the game chooses a form for you, it skips your disabled ones. If disabling leaves you nothing to fight with, the game says so and names * You have disabled forms. among the possible reasons it prints. Fighting with a form you name yourself is not stopped by the flag, so a disabled form is still there when you call for it. See also: Forms, Combat, Skills |

This can range from a fight that has gone wrong to a disagreement between what is a reasonable action to take during roleplay. For any roleplay disagreement, first try to come to an agreement between yourself and the other party(ies) involved. If this does not work, then contact a Policy Immortal to deal with the dispute. If you have any concerns, please read through A Moment In Tyme's policy files by simply typing "policy". See also: Policy |

| .:. dodge |
Combat is turn based. Fighters take turns, and on your turn you choose one action. When someone attacks you, you get a chance to defend. If you take too long, the game picks an action for you. You can fight NPCs as well as other players, and they will fight back. Fighting another player is covered by policy PK. Syntax: > slash <target> [aim] > thrust <target> [aim] > unarmed <target> [aim] Attack. The command names the kind of blow, and the game picks one of your known forms of that kind. The optional aim is head, body (or torso, chest), a side and limb such as right_arm, left_hand, left_leg or right_foot, or the name of a bodypart, which you can shorten. Use an underscore in place of a space. > parry [attacker] > dodge [attacker] Defend against the person attacking you. When you are defending, you can leave the name off. You have to deal with that attack before you can turn on anyone else. > pass Skip your turn. wait and flourish currently do the same thing. > flee Try to get away from the fight. See help flee. > turn get <object> Plain get is blocked while you fight. This spends your turn picking up one loose object from the room. Settings: > autocombat Lets the game choose your attacks and defenses for you. To avoid just one form while keeping automatic choices, use disable; see help disable. > aggressiveness <mode> Sets how boldly you fight, from defensive to reckless. > fthru <practice/normal/extreme> Sets how hard you swing. > wimpy <hit points> Makes you try to flee when your hit points drop below that number. > subdue Toggles whether a deadly blow against another player knocks them out instead of killing them. > combat speed <number> Sets how many seconds you get to act on your turn. Very short times are refused. Example: > slash Sabin right_hand Aiming at an area like right_hand makes the game pick a part within it, such as the hand or a finger. The attack line names the part it picked. If the game tells you your motions feel predictable, you have been repeating the same kind of blow. Mix it up. You can add your own description to an attack with a colon, see help combat descriptions. See also: Autocombat, Aggressiveness, Followthru, Wimpy, Subdue, AutoRewield |

| .:. DOMANI |
Help Information for Arad Doman Pronunciation: AH-rahd do-MAHN SIGIL: A silver hand, grasping a silver sword by the blade, point down; the Sword and Hand. BANNER: The Sword and Hand on a field of four green and three blue horizontal stripes. CAPITAL CITY: Bandar Eban RESOURCES: Trade The nation of Arad Doman lies off the coast of the Aryth Ocean, and has relied largely upon trade for its wealth. Over the years, Arad Doman has bickered with the nation of Tarabon over the land to the south known as Almoth Plain. This bickering came to outright war, just before the arrival of the Seanchan. Arad Doman is one of the few nations which surrendered to the Seanchan after the former ruling family was deposed or had fled the country. As a result, Almoth Plain was 'awarded' to Arad Doman for its cooperation, and both territories are now ruled by Philipe Ankaer, High Lord of the Blood, a native of Arad Doman raised to the Blood after swearing the Oaths. The nation's capital is Bandar Eban, which is said to have been built on the ruins of an older city after the War of the Hundred Years. It lies at the mouth of the River Daghon on the coast of the Aryth Ocean, and is home to the famous Terhana Library. Since the arrival of the Seanchan, the city has been stable. No one seems to know what happened to King Alsalam since the Seanchan arrived, nor the rest of his family. Rumors suggest that the Seanchan did something to them, and these rumors tend to cause a great deal of uneasiness among the people. There are also rumors of a "Domani Resistance" beneath the surface, and despite the Seanchan's best efforts to quell it, this small group of brave souls somehow refuses to be crushed. THE DOMANI PEOPLE Arad Doman is a nation known best for its women and the skill of its people in commerce. Most Domani merchants are women, and the nation has owed its wealth and success to their skill in bartering and wrapping men around their fingers in a brand of seduction that has become, among them, an art form. Domani women are legendary for their beauty, copper-skinned and exceedingly graceful. It is said they can twist a man around their wrist with a look, and imprison his heart with a smile. Their dresses are scandalous by most standards, barely opaque, and clinging to every curve, hinting at everything, while revealing nothing. Domani men usually have long, thin moustaches and wear earrings, and are known famously for their quick tempers. Some blame their temperament on having to deal with their women, while others claim it is caused by eating with sursa, which are thin, lacquered sticks. In the past, the Domani acquired much of their wealth by trading with the Seafolk, but with the Seanchan presence, the Atha'an Miere have been scarce. Arad Doman's commerce has turned to Tarabon and Saldaea, as well as through sea trade with other nations and the Seanchan. |

| .:. DOWN |
In order to move from place to place on this MUD there are ten directions you need to be very familiar with: UP, DOWN, EAST, WEST, NORTH, SOUTH, and the four diagonals NORTHEAST, NORTHWEST, SOUTHEAST and SOUTHWEST. These will take you in whichever direction you want, assuming you are standing and there is an exit that way from the room you are currently in. All of them can be abbreviated to: n, s, e, w, u, d, ne, nw, se, sw. The exits command spells out every exit, and the autoexit line shows them with those short forms. Syntax: > north > northeast Example: > ne See also: Exits, Autoexit, Look |

| .:. Drams |
The unit of weight measurement in the Wheel of Time series was as follows: 10 ounces = 1 pound 10 pounds = 1 stone 10 stone = 1 hundredweight 10 hundredweight = 1 ton While this makes calculations easier, it does not allow measurements to be easily understood by players/readers. In order to make things more comparable to real world weights, A Moment in Tyme has adopted British Imperial units for weight: 16 drams = 1 ounce 16 ounces = 1 pound 14 pounds = 1 stone 8 stone = 1 hundredweight 20 hundredweight = 1 ton These match up with real world weights very closely so you can better comprehend the units being used. To convert between book units and our units, we assume that one 'pound' in the Wheel of Time world matches one 'pound' in the real world, thus it is the other units that need to be converted. |

-------------------Duplicate Ter'angreal-------------------- SYNTAX: Weave 'Duplicate Ter'angreal' <object> {<object> is the original} EXAMPLE: Weave 'Duplicate Ter'angreal' Necklace Preconditions: Talents: Ter'angreal Spells: Probe Ter'angreal Description: This weave allows the caster to duplicate a ter'angreal. The duplication, if successful, will create a ter'angreal that works in a similar fashion to the original. The failure rate is high, though something will most likely be duplicated each time - it just may not work, or work in the wrong fashion. A point to note is that ter'angreal have a chance of burning out the user if used incorrectly, so one must be careful using a duplicated ter'angreal, as the chance of burn out may increase!

| .:. Duststorm |
Duststorm Duststorm lashes eligible occupants of your room with stinging dust. It deals damage and spoils surviving victims' aim, making their attacks easier to avoid. It can also cause ordinary blindness. These are separate effects: immunity to blindness does not prevent the damage or spoiled aim. Cure Blind removes the blindness, not the accuracy penalty. The accuracy penalty wears off. Recasting refreshes it rather than stacking a stronger penalty, and saving and relogging does not clear it. You do not name a target. Properly grouped allies are normally avoided, but a misfire can still hit them. A successful cut can stop the weave before it reaches its victims. Duststorm cannot be used in peaceful rooms. Syntax: > weave 'duststorm' <power> Example: > weave 'duststorm' 2 Power may be 1-4. It is separate from your grasp and the weave's complexity. You may also omit power: weave 'duststorm'. See WEAVE for casting requirements and Combat Channeling for gathering a weave during a fight. See also: WEAVE, Combat Channeling, Cure Blind |
