You died some time during the Early Modern Era. You find yourself in a strange
place, wrapped in a burial gown. Your stomach grumbles. You always thought there
wouldn't be hunger in the afterlife. ...Is this Hell? You had always obeyed the
clergymen when you were still alive. How could this happen?

Looking around, you spot a source of fresh water. It's cold and refreshing.
Something tells you it's safe to drink. Back home it would have given you
dysentery or cholera. Yet, this doesn't seem like Heaven. Where are the angels?

You are left with two options, either lie down, close your eyes and hope that
Hell or Heaven takes you in - or start moving around, exploring the world and
hopefully make some sense out of this.

QUICK START GUIDE

Gather resources. Craft items to unlock new areas. Travel. Find more resources.
Build containers to increase your carrying capacity. Later, build a cart to
transport even more. You can even buy a horse and build a horse cart to maximize
your transportation capacity. Perhaps you'll meet someone and decide to settle
down. Build a house to keep your possession safe from thieves. Or keep going and
see if you can find the edge of the world.

On your travels, you will meet others. Talk to them, find out if you can help
each other. However, be aware that there might be some out there who wish you
harm, so you should keep yourself safe by crafting armor and weapons.


TUTORIAL AREA

It's recommended that you spawn your first character in the tutorial zone, which
consists of 3 locations. Moving forward has a travel requirement, that's visible
on the Travel page and it's also hinted at in the system message posted in the
chat.

The first location teaches how to gather and craft. Note, that there is often
wicker on the ground, so it might not be necessary to gather your own.

The second location teaches you basic cooking.

Once you get to the third tutorial location, you need to craft one of the 4
primitive weapons to unlock Zone 2.


THE MAIN WORLD

The main world starts from Zone 2 and each zone has it's own unlock
requirements. You can scout for locations either in your current zone, or the
next zone, provided that it has been unlocked. Exploring locations makes you
move to them automatically, after which you can move to them with reduced AP.

While traveling consumes water, you can go quite far before your thirst gets
critical. You can either consume water and other drinks manually, or put water
inside a waterskin, upon which it will be consumed automatically while
traveling. If you travel on a boat or in a horse cart, you can build a barrel on
board and all characters inside the vehicle will automatically consume water
from the barrel.

It's strongly recommended that you socialize with other people when you see
them, because the game will be more fun once we get a community going and people
actually start chatting and roleplaying. It is recommended that you always speak
from an in-character point of view, as speaking as yourself breaks the
immersion.

If you see resources on the ground, feel free to use them if you'd like. If
characters really wanted to keep others from using them, they would lock them
away, so you can assume that everything on the ground is communal.


ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS

There are handful of wild animals in the game. You can encounter them while on
the Location page. There are three possible approaches: Fight, flee, or
intimidate. Fighting is self-explanatory. If you manage to kill the animal
before it runs away, you get meat and usually also hide, which can be turned
into leather. If the animal is giving you a hard time, you should either flee or
try to intimidate it. There's still a chance that the animal might react
aggressively, but the chance of running away successfully is rather high. Note
that currently animals don't make a move if you don't, so waiting for someone
else to deal with it can also be an option. However, the wild animal system
isn't currently very optimal, so in the future it's entirely possible that
animal encounters will be resolved even without player input if the player
chooses to ignore its existence.


MAKING IRON AND STEEL

Since the game doesn’t include primitive variants of crafting tools (at least
for now), it’s quite essential that you find a way to make iron and steel to get
the full experience. Iron is made from iron ore and coal, while steel is made of
iron and coal. (There is no limestone, nor is it necessary.) You will need to
build a smelter if someone else didn’t build one already. Once you have located
a source of both iron ore and coal and gained access to a smelter, you are all
set. Note that it's not possible to make iron in the tutorial region, due to
lack of resources, so it's not intended that characters stay there forever. It's
just there to teach your the mechanics without distractions.


MAKING FOOD

Characters gradually gain hunger, even while idle, but moreso when crafting and
traveling. You can eat raw vegetables, but it’s also possible to make several
types of prepared food if you have a mixing bowl (a fired clay pot, an iron pot,
or a barrel will also do). Mix the ingredients to get the intermediary raw
product, then cook it in a pot or bake it in an oven. The current types of food
are bread, vegetable bread, stew, soup, gravy, pie, fish sauce, porridge, gruel,
and “slop”. Later there will likely be even more varieties. You can also brew
beer if you find hops and barley.


SEA TRAVEL

Some of the locations and zones require a boat to access. The locations are
sorted out by which lake or sea they border (the same location can border
multiple bodies of water), and you can no longer jump over dry land. When
sailing on a boat, all passangers will consume water from a barrel on board,
provided that one has been crafted.

In the future, the game will have more than one continent, and it will require a
boat to cross over to the other continent. There will also be rivers that
connect more locations for boat travel.


LOST SOULS

Lost souls are incorporeal characters that cannot travel on their own. They each
have a place they long to be. You can start leading them and once you take them
to their destination, they disappear, leaving you with a handful of coins, which
you can exchange for goods once you find the traveling trader. You can spend
your coins to purchase items from Charlotte, the trader, or Rambutan, the
livestock merchant. Later as the game grows, there will be more merchants.


HOW TO MAKE BABIES (OPTIONAL)

If you want to have a baby, turn off abstinence from your profile (you can
access your character profile by selecting “Look” from the dropdown menu on the
people page). There's nothing graphic involved. There is no separate mating
button and you're not expected to describe the attempt in rp. Making a baby
requires at least one other person of opposite sex in the location, who has
turned off abstinence, as well as a bit of luck. If your character is female,
click around on the location page and if the odds are in your favor, there will
be a pregnancy notification at the top. If you forgot to turn abstinence back on
and get pregnant accidentally, you can eat poison berries to induce an abortion.
This isn’t penalized.

Once you have a baby, it’s health will decrease gradually as you work or travel,
so check on it periodically and click “tend” if it’s starting to look fussy or
unwell. If the baby survives long enough, it will turn into an NPC that is
obedient to by you, so you can order to gather resources. Note that spending a
bunch of AP at once can cause the baby's health to drop rapidly, so I recommend
working in smaller batches of AP and periodically checking the baby's health to
make sure they're okay.

Also note that if your health is less than 80%, you are incapable of becoming
pregnant, so if you wish to have a baby, make sure to rest every time you are
injured to keep your health maxed out. Characters also gain back lost health
over time, even if you don't rest.
