Get into the habit of saving using the SAVE command when you have gotten your gear back from your corpse after dying. This is in case the MUD crashes and reverts you to a saved version of your pfile when you had no gear. - Riviat
Many races are available to you when starting your travels, different in appearance and abilities, language and size. Some beings are wise and knowledgeable like the Elfs or Centaurs, and others are mere beasts without much of a mind at all.
While all of the below races are available at character creation, some of them will prove more difficult than others. The difficulty is marked with a '*'beside the name ( or '**' for very hard choices). Evolutionary Races are also available at creation.
