=Deities=


As a NEW player, start there. Once you are more experienced, try some other deities and figure out how to quickly re-favor with them so you can die and supp corpse and re-favor quickly, then go explore and die as much as you want without fear.
Thus, you should devote to a deity, and likely one of the two deities which offer the easiest methods to gain favor.

Revision as of 00:51, 17 November 2025

When you die, your corpse remains where you died, and you awaken in the Temple of Notre Dame (See 'help map' in game)

If you are under level 10, you will retain all of your items/equipment/inventory, so there is nothing 'to do' - just get back to game play.

After level 10, you will awaken stark naked, all of your belongings will remain in your corpse, and you must go get those back.

After Death

Upon awakening in Notre Dame you will be 'resting'. Type 'wake' to get back up.

Directions back to Darkhaven Square: #5 s; e; e; se

Note: If you died extremely early on in your game, while still exploring the Halls of Knowledge (aka "Academy"), and are not yet familiar with the town of Darkhaven proper, to return to the Halls of Knowledge directions are: #5 s; e; e; se;#3 e; s; d


Corpse Status

At level 10: Your corpse will lay on the ground and slowly rot. If it rot's completely, it is gone, all your gear is gone, and you have lost everything.

  • Rot Time: About 24 hours (irl)
  • Reboots: Corpses DO save across the daily reboot (6am EST)
  • Crashes: Corpses MAY (should) save in the event of a crash.... no promises.

So, you basically have 24 real-world-hours to go and get your shit out of your corpse, and you should hope the game doesn't crash in that time period.


Useful Command: remains

This command will show you the room location of your corpse, and its status as it rots.


Corpse Retrieval

Commonly called 'CR', you might chat "can someone help me with a CR?"

There are two options for reclaiming all your shit from your corpse after you die:

  • Option 1: Walk back to where you died, get your shit from your corpse
    • You are naked. Go buy a light first. And maybe a recall scroll.
    • Ideally, get something so you can hide/sneak and have invisibility cast on you.
    • You should save/quit/relog so that any mobs which were aggro on you drop aggro.
    • This can be a real fucking pain if you died somewhere 'hard'. You might need someone else to come along to kill any mobs in the way.
  • Option 2: Have your deity bring your corpse(s) right to you!
    • If you are devoted to a deity, and at sufficient favor, you can use the 'supplicate corpse' command
    • This is easy as shit. There are only about 1% of rooms/areas that are 'no supplicate'.


(There's also an Option 3: Have an immortal bring your corpse, in exchange for Glory... but that's not something newbs would do, so forget about that)



How to Master Death

Death is simple, and easily rectified. You shouldn't be afraid to die. You should just be prepared correctly and it will be no big thang.


1. Devote to a Deity with very easy favor method (A'enari or Vl'aresch suggested for newbs)

2. Go visit them and walk in/out until you are at "praised" favor

3. Go explore and die

4. Do 'supplicate corpse' and 'get all corpse; wear all' a bunch to get all your shit

5. Immediately go back to the deity and re-favor back up to praised.

6. Return to Step 3.


Deities

Thus, you should devote to a deity, and likely one of the two deities which offer the easiest methods to gain favor.
