Hello new traveller of Aegis! Aegis is a vast and wonderful world, with much to explore. This book is a wonderful investment, as it will teach you the basics and help  you get started. ::You have probably already chosen a name and race. If you havn't, lets do that now. ::All the commands in Aegis are preceeded by / so we type /setname <RP Name. <Race> remember not to include the '<' and '>' symbols. Well done! Now, lets go over some rules. The main rule of Aegis is RolePlaying. One definition of RolePlaying from the Oxford dictionary is 'The changing of one' behaviour to fulfill a social role.' RP'ing generally means acting a certain way to play a certain role. This is the main rule of Aegis, and failing to comply will probably get you banned. Please note that the World of Aegis is patrolled by multiple military groups, you can join one of these military groups, a great way to earn Minas and have fun. Minas is the in game currency, and is used to buy houses, shops and goods. Minas is also what bandits want when they attack, and they will RP holding you up. A Bandit role is very carefully monitored, you MUST RP banditing someone. Random PVP and killing will get you banned, and Bandits prefer to loot and steal before fighting. ::Races. Races are the main factions of Aegis. Dwarves, Elves, Orcs and Humans. Each faction has its own Kingdom, and each faction is rather different from the others. For example, the Elves are rule by an Elven Council and a High Prince, with tree-like architectur e. The Orcs live in the desert and use sand and sandstone, ruled by a dictator-like Rex. Aegis is a wonderful land, full of diverse cultures and people. However, Aegis is also inhabited by the Spawn of Iblees [Read the History of Aegis for more]. These evil beings are exactly that, evil. They will try to kill you on sight, and are very strong. The spawn of Iblees are also different from regular monsters. ::Zombies hit harder, reach further and are very resilient to your attacks. ::Creepers do not damage the land, do slightly less damage, but have far more health. Meaning they cang et closer and explode before you can kill them. ::Spiders are best avoided unless behind a fence, these demons of the night fall onto your head and rip out your brains, they are faster, stronger and have more health than you, but you have skill, cunning and a will to survive, making you far more dangerous if properly trained. You are probably thinking, I guess I'll just make a dirt shelter for the night. Well, in Aegis, you can't. You must buy some form of house in a protected city, or venture into the dangerous, unrpotected wilds, where no guards patrol and your stuff isnt safe. Houses cost anything from 1,000 to 30,000 Minas, and until then you will have to risk living in the wilds or someone elses house. There are also Inns along the main roads that service travellers, and you could pay a small fee to live there until you own your own home. Well, you are now ready for the World of Aegis! ::Look out for the new series, Races! ::All written and transcribed by Zevandir. All rights registered.
