.:. Daes Dae'mar



Pronunciation: DAH-ess day-MAR



Daes Dae'mar, also known as the Game of Houses, is the primary means of
social advancement and financial gain throughout the great houses of
Cairhien and the other large cities.

Although the 'Great Game' is primarily participated in by members of
houses with title, or royal blood, it can be played by anyone, from the
lowest maid to the highest Lord.

To participate in the game, all you need is a goal that is also desired
by someone else, whether it's someone you know, or a complete
stranger. And the result of the processes used to achieve this goal can
be anything from the physical elimination of your opponent to just a
simple victory without hard feelings or social status change. And the
means and processes used to achieve your goal can be anything you can
think of, from spying and note-passing to infiltration, and from simple
poisons to outright fighting.

Daes Dae'mar isn't meant to be a full-time occupation, but can at times
seem like it, but instead it is meant to be the name for the ways that
are used which consist of anything from somewhat shady undertakings, to
outright deception and deceit. This is not to mean that all the methods
used, and the people using them need be 'evil', it just means that they can
be perceived differently by the various individuals and/or groups
affected.

On tyme the game is also a guild...to participate give the current Daes
Dae'mar GuildLeader a mudmail and tell us a bit about yourself.
But remember, if you get caught, you may be held accountable for your
actions, so be careful...

.:. 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.

.:. 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)

.:. 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.

                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 six
directions you need to be very familiar with. UP, DOWN, EAST, WEST,
NORTH, and SOUTH. These will take you in whichever direction you
want, assuming there is an exit in that direction from the room you
are currently in. These can all be abreviated to: n, s, e, w, u d.

-------------------- Defense Points --------------------

Defense Points are those Combat Points used to defend against an
opponent's attack(s) while in battle. Every time an opponent
attacks you, your defense points will automatically engage in
defending you against the attack. Once you run out of defense
points, each attack thereafter will go undefended. You can also
use half of your defense points to help defend someone else in
your party by using "turn defend".

.:. DRAG



If someone is sitting or sleeping in the room you are in you may
drag the player to an adjacent room using the
DRAG command.

> drag kinmourn east
This would drag Kinmourn east, assuming there is an eastern
exit to your room.

If the player is simply standing in the room you may
PUSH them
out of it if your Strength is high enough.

> push kinmourn east
This would push Kinmourn out the eastern exit of the room. If the
player is sitting, resting or sleeping, refer to the
DRAG command.

.:. 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

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!
