   * High Fantasy Theme
   * 7 guilds (fighter, mage, cleric, thief, psion, alchemist, shapeshifter)
   * 7 races (human, dwarf, elf, gnome, feline, scorpien, dryad)
   * Digitized SOUND EFFECTS!
   * CLANS! - Complex, highly developed, player formed, player run clans

   * MISSILE/RANGED COMBAT! =)

   * LEGAL/JUSTICE system. Completely player run. Players serve in all the 
     various roles including judge, "attorneys", police, etc. No automatic 
     NPC justice!

   * DEITIES and RELIGIONS. 13 deities each with its own specific theme and
     system of goals and motivations. Clerics run the religions and must 
     convert followers from the players of the mud.

   * ECONOMY/BUSINESSES - player owned and run businesses. Shops and services
     of variety limited only by the imagination of players 

   * Numerous areas all completely unique to this mud. Every area has a 
     purpose, and all areas are linked to larger plots.

   * Although there is plenty to entertain the traditional "hack n slash"
     type mudder, there is an intense role playing atmosphere. This is mainly
     generated by fact that most of the infrastructure is player run (clans,
     the legal system, the economy, the religions, the kingdoms, etc.).
     But there are also numerous games within the mud

   * OPTIONAL quests provided for intellectual challenge and fun. Not 
     required for advancement.

   * Dedicated site from a commercial ISP
   * Dedicated machine- Sparc with 64 megs RAM
   * VERY long uptimes. 1-2 weeks between reboots, and then only to reset
     unique items, quests, etc.
   * ABSOLUTELY NO local lag.
