Genesis MUD

Message Board

About a year ago (1994) I met my friend in computer laboratory. He was playing text-oriented game. I like this type of games, but I wondered, why he talked with some people during playing. It was the first time, I saw Multi User Dungeon (MUD).

I tried it, and now I mud twice a week. You can meet me in the world of Genesis: try it. Just now I'm developing two characters: strong dwarvish warrior PeeJay and smart agile halfling Dzejkl. Both of them are members of Cadets of Gelan guild. PeeJay is also member of the Rockfriend guild and Dzejkl is member of Adventuresome hobbit guild. PeeJay is in Old Fogey's club.

Ooops! After several years pause, both my warriors died (maybe they were just too old). So now, I am strong dwarf Drogyn (I just _love_ dwarves, have you noticed? ;)) Drogyn graduated as Fistfighter in the Cadets. He leaved the guild and become famous Smith of Middleearth in July 2002. This was lately realized as big mistake (smiths don't have any fighting specials nor parry, defence etc.) For Drogyn as wanderer only, these days are very hard. He is looking for occupational guild, but does not want to become Gladiator of Athas. So we will see Drogyn's future later...

In October, Drogyn decided to become a monk. Since he likes wandering through the Realms and searching for wisdom, this occupation seems to fit best with him. In presence, he is filling the tasks from his Elder. These are quite time-consuming, but his Elder is very kind and patient. I hope that Drogyn will not fail.

Drogyn was considered worthy and joined the occupational branch of the famous Ancient Order of the Dragon. in the middle of January 2003. Now he travels through the Realms and learns. Since Drogyn become quite skilled blacksmith, he support the Order with nice quarterstaves and ringmails. As a monk, he can quite efficiently defend himself and strike barehanded or polearmed with a power of fierce dragon.

While searching for wisdom, Drogyn found several sources of knowledge. One of them is library of Mercenary guild, which is maintained by wise librarian Iliana.

June 2003 – the half of year in the Dragon Order made Drogyn really happy. He found several friends both in and outside the Order, learned much of the Realms and strengthen his body. His forging abilities are very nice, he is good in both weapons (quarterstaff, halberd, longsword) and armours (ringmail, which is body-arms armour, platemail bracers, platemail helms, greaves, boots etc.) Now he plans to practice body-armour for a while (ribbed platemail or breastplate). He also visited lots of interesting places - orc camps, legion of darkness, trolls in Hollin and Trollshaws, Barrows near Bree, camps of Karg warriors etc. Some of these adventures he travelled alone, some with sisters or brothers from Dragon Order, dwarven friends or strong mercenaries, bravely fought with bare hands and feet.

February 2004 – mighty Finwe, lord of Shire and father of Smiths, has made some changes into smiths' levels. So Drogyn jumped from Competent directly to Exceptional smith.

September 2004 – slowly growing Drogyn became Dragonmaster of Elyzerin Sun. These times it is hard to enter the Realms, real life is not so free after leaving university ;)

December 2004 – Drogyn gave me, the player behind, nice X-mas present. He finally made next level, rising hero, and improved his title in both Rockfriends and smiths :)

March 2005 – Unbelieveable! Drogyn hit hero after just three months :) However, I was pretty active in the new year and I am really sure my real life duties won't allow me to repeat it with titan ;)

14th March 2005 – Great day in Drogyn's life. His hard work for the Dragon Order resulted in accepting him in the Council. As Elder, he will now have duties with learning the applicants and considering their abilities as Dragon monks. Hard work, but one of the lovely ones.

End of June 2005 – About month ago Arandir created new title system for Dragon monks. Great piece of work, thank You! We can choose from three sets, and I like the "Heart" set most of all, since it expresses the very soul of the monk. During last months, Drogyn met many interesting people, Templar Knights of Takhisis, Priests of Takhisis, Knights of Solamnia and others. His forging abilities rose skyhigh and he gets orders from many people who like his ringmails (better than many dragonscales), platemail bracers (which are the best arm-armour in the Realms), greaves and plate helms. Exaggerating? No, ... err ... maybe a tiny bit ;)

Middle of October 2005 – Drogyn achieved "titan" mortal level. However, the most important October achievement was electing Drogyn into Council. To all monks: thanks for your trust!

July 2006 – wise and mighty Palmer took smiths under his wings and made the guild craft type. So now, we can join layman guilds and Drogyn chose Thornlin Militia, which lured him for a long time. And one new achievement – Drogyn gained the highest title in the Rockfriends, so now he is Mighty Rockfriend. Among other things it means, that he will drink even more than before ... if it is possible, that is *grin*

January 2007 – Drogyn heard the calling of his fiery soul of red dragon and famous blacksmith. Luring of the flames brought him to the Temple of Elements and he applied for the position of servant of Lord Pyros, Elemental of Fire. We'll see in the future, if he'll manage to finish the application process successfully.

February 2007 – succesfully finished the application and became cleric of Elements, namely Lord Pyros.

Drogyn the Mighty Rockfriend, Constant Light of Dragon Heart, Raging Wildfire of the Elementals and Famous Blacksmith, titan, male dwarf
