Sancara Guidebook

The Sancara Guidebook will allow you to become familiar with some of the concepts and commands of the land. It seems to be some tattered paper tied together with string.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome to the world of [|Sancara]. Here you will find a world of magic, mystery and fantasy. There are stories to be heard, Quests to complete, and beasts to defeat. You will find many people, places, and things within this realm that will confuse or baffle you, but there is help. Any other adventurer within the realm can give you assistance but we ask that you still do your share of the work around here. Nobody gets buy for free. Now before you venture off, there are a few basic things that you need to know, and the further chapters in this book will guide you upon a path of success.

Chapter 2: Movement
Now before you can go anywhere within the land you first need to learn how to move. Our first instruction will be on movement. All movement is accomplished by compass points. In each room you will see Obvious Exits Followed by directions and a brief description of the room that lies ahead. To move into the next room you simply need to type the direction you wish to move in North, South, East, West, Northwest, etc. . There is a shortcut to do this, simply typing in the abbreviation of the direction N, S, E, W, NW, SW, etc.. and that will cause you to move from room to room. Now on to the next chapter.

Chapter 3: Communication
Now alot of good movement does to you if you aren't able to interact with everyone else in the lands. The gods have given you the ability to communicate with just about every other person in the realm on various levels. First to speak with someone in the same room you would use Say followed by what you wish to say. This will speak out loud so that everyone in the same room can hear you. There is also a Chat ability, which will allow you to communicate with everyone in Sancara, by using Chat followed by your message. The Channels command will allow you to see other various methods of talking with people. Whisper followed by the person's name and then a message will allow you to talk to someone in the same room as you, but will not allow others in the room to hear what you are saying. Tell followed by a person's name and a message will privately tell a person something, no matter where in the real they are. You'll learn more about communication as you grow in your experiences, with help from others around, onto our next chapter.

Chapter 4: Quests
Quests are tasks that people ask you to help them with. Not all questers will be so giving with their help on what they desire. You will be able to recognize questers because their name will be in yellow. To activate a quester you simply have to ask them if they need help by using say do you require assistance? now the spelling has to be exact and the question mark has to be included for the qester to respond to you. If the person offering the quest is also a shop owner they will let you know this, and we will discuss shop owners in another chapter. Now if you feel you have what the quester is looking for you just give the item to them. To give an item to someone you use Give item name and they will let you know if it is what they need or not. Well that sums up questing. Now continuing on.

Chapter 5: Shops
Shops are very common in Sancara. This is where you can buy and sell various items that you will need to prosper in the land. Shop owners will also be easy to recognize because they will have their name in Cyan. Once again you must speak to the person, but instead of asking them a question, like we do for questers, we say Greetings followed by the (name) of the shop owner. For example we walk into a tavern and see Bartender the Master mixologist we would say Greetings Bartender and he should respond with further instructions. To buy an item you would use I am interested in buying and to sell it would be I am interested in selling but not all shop keepers buy and not all sell, so best just to greet them first and let them tell you the rest.

Chapter 6: Combat
Combat in Sancara is lots of work. It takes timing and skill to master. You will see many creatures around in various colors, but the red ones are the ones you want to attack and kill. And the exact way to do that is by using the Kill command. Now just as they did in the Dark ages you have to repeatedly attack a creature to kill it. Just using the kill command once wont successfully kill a beast. To combat with a beast you must enter Kill followed by the name of the beast, then repeat that to strike it again. In certain situations a kill all command will work, but if there is a innocent person within the same room with you, it could cause you to attack them. Beasts will attack you first in some situations so you may have to be quick about it. Or end up dead.

Chapter 7: Your Character
You have many various commands that deal with you as an individual and you will learn most of them while you roam this realm, but the ones you will find yourself using the most will be Score which will give you a detailed description of yourself, complete with your hitpoints and mana(magic) points as well as other usefull information. You will also need to learn Wear to wear clothes, armor and such, as well as Wield to equip your weapon. There is also a Hold command to hold none weapon items like shields, torches and staffs, plus Equ to check what items you actually have on your and Inv or I to see what items you have in your inventory. Many other things are best learned by experience but this quide will give you a quick reference to the more widely used and basic of options available to you. Now one last final not: Don't hesitate to ask anyone for help, or be afraid to ask a question, we were all new at one time, and understand how frustrating it can be. If you use Who you can see players and staff members who are in the lands. You will find that players can be just as much help if not more help than a staffer, so please enjoy Sancara. Dream the Legend, Fear the Myth, Live the Fantasy.

Chapter 9: Help
There are many ways to find help within the realm of Sancara. From helpfiles via the help command to advice and assistance from other players and even on the Sancara wiki. If you ever have any questions on how to do something or what command you should enter to do a certain action, feel free to ask or use the help command.
