Muds

If you’re new to MUDs, welcome! You’re about to step into a world built entirely from words and imagination.

Think of it like this: imagine a world full of cities, rivers, mountains, and forests — all divided into rooms. Each room represents a specific place, whether it’s a tiny broom closet or a grand ballroom.

Let’s say you’re standing on a city street. To the north, the road leads to a busy crossroads lined with buildings. To the south, it heads toward the quieter edges of town. You can move around by typing commands like <north> or <south>. If you type <look>, you’ll see a description of your surroundings and any visible exits. (You’ll learn more about exploring and movement in later.)

Rooms can connect to other rooms through exits, and they often contain furniture, items, or NPC's. You can interact with them in different ways <touch>, <get>, <wear> and if you’re ever unsure what something is, just <look> at it.

You also have an inventory, which includes what you’re holding, wearing, and anything inside those items. Unlike in many MUDs, your inventory in Unwritten Legends isn’t a magical storage space, it reflects what your character can actually carry. To see what you’re wearing, type <inventory>, <inv>, or <i>. To check the contents of what you’re carrying, type <content> or <content> item> to view what is in a specific item.

Take your time, explore, and don’t be afraid to try things out. Every command helps you discover a bit more of the world around you!
