The Basics

Pick a Flaw in Character Creation

There's no pressure in making a fully fleshed character your first round, but do choose a flaw, newcomer. Choosing no flaw, will choose one randomly. If you find that your arm no longer works in a new round, it's because you rolled the one arm flaw.

Try Out a Non-Refugee Role

You are less likely to die and have a chance to learn what the game is about. Play actively and look to roleplay with others, placing your character assertively into situations. Be confident as your character! It's not you. As the Towner role, you can pick and own a house around town by going up to it and clicking on the door.

Chatting

Press M to EMOTE. Be as detailed and expressive as you want.

Press T to SAY things:

Put a # at the start to WHISPER.
Put a @ at the start to make a WHISPERED EMOTE. (SUBTLE)
Put a * at the start to emote in an alternative way.

How to Sleep

Lay down (default v). Close your eyes by clicking one of the arrow buttons above or below the eye, next to the doll and wait. Simply dragging your sprite onto a bed can also restore your blue fatigue bar.

How to Drink Without a Cup

To drink from a water source: Use bite intent and middle click.

How to Climb

Have an empty hand. Click on a wall or tree to go up. Make sure there is a tile like a branch you can climb onto, by looking up with shift-f, or else you will fall. Left-Click on an empty tile in front of you to go down.

How to Heal

There are physicians around, and the church also has healers, you can ask for directions from players.

Sleeping can heal wounds as well, sleeping on a bed heals faster.

What can I do in this game?

You can get a job, or work for yourself. You can be a lascivious criminal. You can be a mercenary. You can be devout and celibate. You can blow all your money at the brothel. You can be a naked degenerate. You can delve into other's character and build relationships. You can overthrow the nobility. Do what is interesting for you and others, often the people here are freaky, and slavery is more interesting for them then death.

As long as you're roleplaying in good faith and trying to follow the rules, you can do as you wish!

The Big New Menu on the Left of your Screen

You can Left-Click and Right-Click the various GUI elements on the left of your screen to get different information and do actions.

The ERP Menu

To open the ERP menu, first turn off the bite/kick/jump/steal intent, and then middle-click drag your sprite onto their sprite. You must both be on the same tile to do most actions. You can *kiss emote as well on the different body parts.

This author will tell you a secret; elves get a special message when you kiss their ears!~

Wilderness Survival

How can I survive in the bog?

As a Refugee, you are a foreigner to these lands. You start out in the dangerous swamps. If you want to go to town you need to head north to find the town. Sneaking lets you avoid ambushes from dangerous creatures. Avoid going through murky water, it risks getting leeches.

image

Food:

Go to a bush and click on it until you find berries, if it "tastes like berry" on the very first bite, it's safe to eat. There are 2 colors of berry, 1 is randomly set as poisonous.

Self-Healing:

Go to a bush and click until you find a string and a thorn (or swing at grass for string). Then, click the craft button in the left-screen GUI to make a sewing needle. You can use this to stop bleeding, heal wounds, and craft certain items.

How to remove leeches:

Click on the heart on your left screen. It shows you all of your limbs, and their health. Then click to pull the leeches off.

Light:

Collect 2 rocks. If your torch or campfire goes out, you can place it on the floor and smash 2 rocks together on that tile to reignite it.Another fire source or player's torch can reignite it as well.

Crafting:

You can swing at branches for sticks, or at the trunk for the whole tree, or at grass for string.

Death and Respawning

When you die you can ghost around for a while. Spirit Tab: You can Ghost Up or Ghost Down to help traverse terrain.

Press the big skull button at your left screen when ready to move on to the underworld.

To respawn you need to find a Toll to give to the Ferryman, then use the carriage to respawn, but don't get lost. You can wait 15 minutes in the underworld and get a free toll. Someone might also do a proper burial on your dead body, letting you respawn.

Questions and Player Reporting

Don't be afraid to ask questions to nearby characters, ask on the discord, or use mentorhelp.

Player Reports: are submitted in the Discord by typing /inquis and you'll need the Round ID, which you can get from the #game-status section in Discord, as well as evidence like screenshots/recordings. (At the moment, Inquis doesn't seem to work if your report is too long so keep it concise.)

Roles - Role guides.

Guides - Detailed guides on jobs and mechanics.

Lore - Additional setting information.
