New players: The guard barracks on the Street of Swords is designed
to help get you off to a good start in the world of Dark Pawns.
Initially you are going to want to try to level just in there and the
other newbie areas in Kir Drax'in. (Type [HELP](/help/commands/help/) [MAP](/help/info/map/) for info on getting
around the city)

Be sure to read the board in the Temple. It contains a lot of 
information about the game, and current events.

You also are going to want to read [HELP](/help/commands/help/) [POLICY](/help/commands/info-news-policy-version-future/) (for the rules)
and [HELP](/help/commands/help/) [NEWBIE](/help/commands/newbie/) (for any "newbish" questions)

******[FAQ](/help/faq/):(and the help files to read to find the answers)******
(Words in CAPITALS means type [HELP](/help/commands/help/) <word-in-capitals> to see the
 help file)

&cHow can I find out my skills/spells I have currently avaiable? &n
	[PRACTICE](/help/commands/practice-practice-train/)
&cHow can I find ALL the skills/spells available to my class? &n
	Get [HELP](/help/commands/help/) on your class (ie: help [WARRIOR](/help/info/warrior-fighter-warriors/), help [THIEF](/help/info/thief-thieves/), etc)
&cI'm broke and hungry.. help? &n
	[EAT](/help/commands/eat-drink-sip-taste/) [CARVE](/help/commands/carve/)
      If you are just hungry, try the bakery 1e1n of Market Square.
&cI'm a psychopath.. help? &n
	[BEHEAD](/help/commands/behead/)
&cWhere's the donation room?&n
	south, west, south of the temple in Kir Drax'in.
&cAre there subclasses?&n
	No.. but you can [REMORT](/help/info/remort-immort-remorting-immorting-immortality/) to a different class when you
	reach level 30. 
	Also, VAMPIREs and [WEREWOLVES](/help/info/lycanthropy-werewolf-werewolves-lycanthrope/) are available for all races.
&cIs there a map?&n
	[HELP](/help/commands/help/) [MAP](/help/info/map/)
&cIs there rent?&n
	No rent, but you must [QUIT](/help/commands/quit/) in the temple to keep your equipment.
        If you are a resident of another [HOMETOWN](/help/info/hometown-hometowns/) besides Kir Drax'in
        you can quit in that towns quit room (generally, where you 
        started)
&cIs there a way to automate things, such as looting corpses and gold?&n
	[AUTO](/help/commands/auto-loot-split/)
&cWho is this "Someone" person?&n
      When you see something like "Someone says, 'Hi there.'" That is       
      an invisible person speaking to you.  You would be able to see   
      them if you had the [DETECT](/help/commands/search-secret-doors-door-detect/) [INVISIBILITY](/help/spells/invisibility/) spell cast upon you.  If
      it bothers you to talk to an invisible person, you can always 
      request that they go [VISIBLE](/help/commands/visible/).
&cWhat is everyone talking about on gossip?&n
      You can type [REVIEW](/help/commands/review/) to get the text of the last 25 gossips, so if
      you have just logged on you can figure out what has been going on  
      lately in the game.  
&cI'm so lost! Where do I go to get a good start?&n
       Well, first of all, type [RECALL](/help/commands/recall/). That will put you back in the 
       temple of Kir Drax'in.  From there, go down and open the door 
       south into the guard training centre.  This is where you are 
       going to begin honing your skills and advancing your levels.  
       Killing mobs in the city when you are a newbie is NEVER a good
       idea, your best bet is to stay down in the centre for awhile.

If you get lost, use the [RECALL](/help/commands/recall/) command to put you back in the temple.

Also, read the [NEWS](/help/commands/info-news-policy-version-future/) for recent changes.
