Stranger

The Strangers are a mysterious new race that emerged following a catastrophic storm in Haven, where an ancient, dormant waygate unexpectedly activated. This storm heralded the arrival of the first Stranger, staggering from the waygate with disoriented tales of places unknown and landscapes foreign to the people of Ardellis. In the days and weeks following, a slow but steady influx of Strangers has continued, each an enigma from realms unheard of, speaking of distant lands and cultures that defy local understanding.

While Haven’s residents have cautiously welcomed these Strangers, the mystery surrounding their origins and intentions creates a wary curiosity. Known for their sometimes foreign appearances and even stranger tales, the Strangers represent various, unheard-of races with distinct customs and unique physical abilities, making it challenging to categorize them easily. Each new arrival brings with them stories and insights into worlds vastly different from those familiar to the Ardelan.

• Introducing the Strangers in Pre-Alpha In Onward. Players will have the unique opportunity to bring back characters from other MUDs that have died. The arrival of the Strangers is set to play a crucial role in the narrative of our Pre-Alpha phase.
• What are Strangers? A Stranger is essentially a character from another fantasy MUD who has died but will reappear in our world. While they will embody a newly formed body that will have their previous appearance, these bodies will be free from scars and signs of their past trials. The mind of a Stranger will be intact, retaining all memories and knowledge from their previous lives.
• Players can choose the age of their new form, starting from sixteen years old and above. However, it’s important to note that Strangers will not automatically possess the special abilities or magical powers they had had in their former lives. Their physical forms have been reconstituted, leading to changes that have affected their capabilities.
