.:Lands of Legend, General Information:.

LoL is a Role Play Enforced Fantasy Game, with a slight Warhammer setting to it. There are Eight races to choose from, and many items that allow you to customise your character. LoL has a combat system where you can damage individual body parts, make people bleed, loose limbs, fall down stunned and faint. Your character will age, need to eat and sleep and can build them self a house from different materials. In LoL when your character dies, they stay dead, in the form of a ghost, unless a Necromancer revives them, or some other strange event occurs.

.:Combat:.

There is currently three types of damage that can be delt to a player, slashing, blunt and stabbing, each do different things to different parts of a players body. Slash damage is likely to remove limbs, if the player is not wearing Chain/Plate armour, and causes a great ammount of bleeding. Blunt does not remove limbs but causes massive ammounts of pain and shatters bones, as well as knocking players out. Both of which cause the player to drop their weapon/shield. Stabbing, with spears for example, does at the moment, work very much like Slash damage, but is planned to do large ammounts of damage to organs, and cause huge ammounts of pain.

.:Afflictions:.

Afflictions are effects that harm the player. In LoL your character can go blind if they loose their eyes in combat. Can become crippled if they loose/break a limb, which means, depending on limb, that they cant equip certain things. And can starve if their Stomach is badly damaged. Players in LoL can also become part of the undead, through infection or by being raised from the dead by a Necromancer.

.:Death:.

Its very rare to find a game that has perm-death, Lands of Legend is one such game. Once your character dies, there are very few ways to be revived. Your character will be forced to wonder around as a ghost, invisible from others, until by chance, their body is found by a Necromancer player/npc. LoL has alot of NPC monsters that eat bodies, which can be a very bad thing if you hope to come back alive.

.:Races:.

There are Eight races in LoL. All of which are playable

Humans - Typical race of intelligent beings, who worship the god of order.

Ratlings - Small rodent-like-humanoids, about 3/4 the size of a full grown Human. They live in the sewers and are sneaky and cunning. They are disliked by Humans and most other races.

Frogmen - A primitve culture of swamp dwelling beings who fight over breeding grounds, they are very agile, like ratlings, and are the size of a Human.

Giants - The Giants are quite a bit larger than Humans, but fairly stupid, they tend to be neutral, unless hungry and live in caves or castles by them selves.

Cyclops - Cyclops are about the same size as Giants, but lack as much strength, they are slightly more agile and only have one eye. They are very agressive, easy to anger and like to raid the smaller races often.

Stahlites - The Stahlites are about the same size as ratlings, they live in vast mountain forts carved from stone and are masters of metal and rock. They have long beards, and are very endurant in combat. their slightly smarter than humans and very reclusive.

Snakemen - The Snakemen live in the desert, they have a posionious bite and are very fast, they tend to be slightly bigger, stronger and more agile than most races, but lack intelligence or endurance.

Wolfmen - The Wolfmen live in tight packs, with a central leader, they are very strong and quite agile, and have a nasty bite, their not very endurant, compared to Stahlites, but more so than Humans. They stand on two feet and can wear clothing and hold weapons, as well as run quite fast.

.:Role Play:.

LoL is Role Play Enforced, players will be expected not to use OOC information in IC situations or too announce IC info over the OOC channel. Certain features, such as setting things on fire, will be watched closely for Role Play Reasons by Admins, mainly because people start a fire that burns the starting town down.
