Elven Newbie
Information
Slight and quick, the
elves are masters of dodging and evading. Their keen
intellect allows them
to grasp the magics of the Realm rather easily, but they
have a frail body and
possess strength far below that of a human or an orc.
The elves have hair ranging
from silver to deepest black, with fair skin and
long slender fingers.
They are generally a peaceful race, yet when confronted
with danger, fight with
a zeal not known to any in this Realm.

- Rearranging and Picking
a Guild -
I find it best to have an
idea of what you will like to become before you go any further. There are
many guilds that you can pick from and I encourage you to pick a guild
ahead of time and rearrange now before you begin your journey. For
a list of the guilds that are available click here,
and on my Mortal Pages section there is a collection of other player's
homepages on RoD.
- Newbie Gardens &
Guild -
You will start out at the
Racial Bullent Board at the center of Eluten, the elven homeland. The city
Eluten is in a circular shape with 4 main branches. To your north is Elspeth,
west is Sithari, south is Liorinin and to your east is the newbie area.
Head down the eastern branch and then north is the newbie gardens and the
newbie guild is to your south. Your object is to kill the bugs in
the garden area and gain experience points or 'exp' for short. You will
later take the exp and trade them in at the guild to improve your skills.
Be sure to have your hit monitor on, so you will be able to watch your
health as you kill the npcs (non-player characters, the ones that are generated
by the game).
- Leaving Eluten (Madagor)
-
As a newbie you can simply
go through the portal and wait at the docks for the Madagor Ferry to arrive.
When it does, 'board ferry' and wait till you reach Bay Shore. Then 'disembark'
and you will be in the northwest area of Treeth, on mainland. Later on
if you wanted to return to Eluten, here are
some directions to get back.
