Ho There Wanderer!
Welcome to the world of Ethilien, a world once ravaged by gods run amok. Amid this world, on the eastern continent of Caelia, lies the classical power struggle of good and evil, righteous vs demonic.
Only after being spared through the might of the all-father, Metamorpho, creator and progenator of Ethilien, has Caelia began to recover from the evils caused during the rift.
However, under the cover of darkness do new evils arise to bring upheaval and strife as whispers of a mysterious and once forgotten clan bring hope of surviving the chaos to ensue.

be, a light that follows you, and hovers above your shoulder.

is a work in progress, and will eventually be added to all stores.
Enjoy!

Nov 13 2020
-- Several area updates -- as follows:
* The Theater:
--The Theater should be a bit quieter now. Mob random chance speech
triggers reduced in frequency. They've also been talking elocution
lessons to speak more slowly so you can catch up to what they're saying.
--You'll no longer look like you're wearing the eyelashes of a dead
person. Catherine assures us (and the world) her lashes are fake.
Also, they can be called "lashes" now. And If you bring her the dressing
room key but not her lashes, she'll ask you for another favor.
--Charlemagne's sash is a little easier to identify from the pile of
other clothes that look just like it.
--The Fire Goddess is tired of waiting for Pippin. She's a bit more
explicit with her instructions.
---That is all for now
---Chinok
*Odaishyozen:
--Overall, did a passover to reduce Orientalist trends in the zone without
removing the obvious flavor of magic and furikake.
--Names of clothes from this island have been localized to their native
language and are much prettier to look at!
--A few rooms have been renamed and their descriptions updated to reflect
what they actually are in traditional arts.
--Removed references to the people on this island being "slant-eyed"
because it's 2020 and even in Caelia we don't need to be describing
people that way anymore.
--The Goddess has gone through immigration and has accepted a new name!
She will now be known as Kannon, Goddess of Mercy, though she
(and that wall) will still respond to her old name Kwan Yin.

and how basic setup of Mudlet.

*April 18, 2014
*Fiery has been running on a 32 bit outdated server OS for about 2 years.
We will need to update the server to a current version, 64 bit OS.
Unfortunatly, that means some downtime to upgrade. We are looking at the
weekend of April 26-27 for the upgrade. This will take us some time, but
NOTHING will be lost, and it should provide some performance gains
(less lag). This is one of those things we must do, so just be prepared
for it, and don't freak out when you see firey down the weekend of
the 26-27.
---- Chinok
*February 1, 2014

*Check out the website. There's a new 'Connect NOW!' button
at the top of the screen that will connect you to our flash
based MUDD client. It has support for aliases and triggers,
but make sure you save them, as it don't keep up with them
itself. but you can play from work now! :)
I'm working on a help page for the client, but I think most
of you can figure it out. As always, let me know if you have
questions, forum, email, or mudmail.

*October 9, 2013
*Fall has fallen, and forced changes in the Blue-Fog Area.
The region has been rebalanced to have more consistant
difficulties more managable compostions, and some new mobs.
The new levels are:
trail: 30-45

mountain 55-80
Let us know if you see anything that don't look right
----Yuhen
*April 11, 2013
*Just in time for spring Fashions...
All of the Phase 3 Armor quest items (but 3) have been updated,
some major, some minor. To help you get the newest versions
of these armors, as well as any other updated items
(like the monocle), search out Tr'ven, he has set up shop
in Mielikki.
*If there's a piece of quest armor you have earned, but you just
can't tell where it ran off to, contact Ramah via mudmail, and
he will help you out. Before you decide to cheat, yes, he
can tell if you've earned it :)
---Chinok & Ramah
*March 29, 2013
* Monks have been slightly tweeked. Overall, their damange was
increased, but you may notice a little less damage at lower
levels. Let us know if something don't look right. Yuhen
wants to see monks hit 6 time per round, (at less damage
of course) so this tweeking might not be done just yet.
* Trainers now have their own rooms in Mielikki, you may have to
search them out, but it's worth the trouble.
---Chinok
*March 22, 2013
Skill trainers are now available around the town of Mielikki.
These profesional trainers will take a few of your hard earned
platinum, to help you increase your skills. Of course they wont
allow you to increase your skill past your level, but it might be
easier than backstabbing 5000 bugs.
--Let us know if there are any issues with them
--Chinok
*August 04, 2012
A ranger has been added to Morgan Hill, to help save newbies
under level 10. We haven't had a lot of newbies to save lately,
so I thought it important to save the ones we have.
--Happy Mudding
---Chinok
*July 20, 2012
A few new items have been added to the website. There is now a
stats page that shows who's been logged in recently. There's
also the famous death counts, always fun to look at. The death
counts are always current up to the last game reset, and the logins
are updated every 5 minutes.
--Also, NEWS that's posted here, automatically shows up on the website
now. So you can see game updates in both places!
--- Hope you enjoy!
--- Chinok
*July 17, 2012
The retirement of Fierymud may have been greatly exaggerated.
We.re back, on a new server, and will continue to run as long
as I can support it. We have some new features planned that
I hope you will enjoy as well. So please keep playing, and
remind your friends we are still here, and they should
come join us.

* June 30, 2012
Thank you all for playing and helping with FieryMUD over the decades
that she has been running. It has been immeasurebly fun over the
years but my time for the mud has come and gone. I have offered the
code and parts of FieryMUD to each of the people subscribing to the
gods email list and stated that if one of them choses to run the mud
I would not object. The time for my retirement has come at last.
I've not set a date yet, but I suspect that the 28th of July will be
the last day I host the FieryMUD systems. If one of the gods steps
up and claims that they want to host the mud, I'll post more detals.
Thank you all again, and may you slay many dragons.

- Yuhen
* February 8, 2012
o A new area has just been added bridging the Great Road and
Nikozian Trail: Logging Camp (15-20)
- Logging Camp is primerily good-neutral aligned.
- The Camp itself has some shops selling goods useful for
lumberjacks, explorers, or those lacking is supplies otherwise
purchased in town.

killed many times. - Zzur
* October 10, 2011
o The limit of only having two characters on at once has been
suspended until such time that FieryMUD has a huge player-
base again. Since I suspect that text based RPG's glory days
have passed, this may well be permenant. I hope you all find
more enjoyment with the mud. - Zzur
* April 3, 2011
- New Area: Split Skull
This area is an evil village that is set in opposition to the
abbey by the Black Legion. To combat their influence the
Eldorian court has dispatched an Emissary to the Abbey as well.
Players 8 to 20 are encouraged to take sides in the fight.
If you are good, go help raid the new zone!
- Split Skull is north of the Enchanted Hollow, but beware it has
an entrance into the Mystwatch swamps where it all seems to look
the same. The rangers have yet to make it over to protect that
area.
- I believe Split Skull is production ready, but it was so long
in development and so rarely worked on there may be tons of
holes the quests and play. Let us know what you find if stuff
doesn't work.
* March 18, 2011
- FieryMUD is now running on new hardware. Technical difficulties
may occur, but we will work hard to minimize any inconvenience.

&bhelp prompt&0 for a complete list or try &bdisplay 9&0 to

work the same, but the clan command should be somewhat
easier to use. Also, certain events are now broadcast
to members of the clan, such as level-ups and deaths.

been decreased by about 40%.

- Odaishyozen has been touched up a bit. See if you can find
the new items!
* September 7, 2008
- Equipment used to become weightless when you wore it. Now it
will continue to have weight. This will disrupt some folks'
carefully apportioned kits, so the weight limit has been increased
accordingly.
- Objects will now generally disappear from the game if left
unattended for too long. Basically, if a player handles something
and then gets rid of it, OR if an object falls to the ground from
a decomposing corpse, it will disappear after a while.
Also, player corpses will take even longer to decompose.
- When you're very close to your weight limit, you'll be too
heavy to fly.
* August 31, 2008
- The towns of Mielikki, Anduin, and Ickle won't tolerate evil
pets any more, and the guards will attack them on sight.
Necromancers especially should take care.
- Town guards are more protective of players and will help them
out in a fight, instead of taking the NPC's side like they used
to do. There is an exception: if you're fighting a guard or
other valued townsperson, the guards WILL still attack you.
- The new toggles have been renamed ExpandObjs and ExpandMobs.
* August 30, 2008
- The StackObjs and StackMobs toggles can now be used to control

- NPCs won't have unlimited spells any longer.
* August 21, 2008
- According to word of mouth, a new resort up north has opened
its doors to the public! Phoenix Feather Hot Springs should be
a good challenge for those of you in the 55-60 range.

spell now does piercing damage. Bigby's Fist does crushing damage
and disintegrate does acid damage.
* August 17, 2008
- You can edit your description in the game with the 'desc' command.
- By player suggested idea your trophy will clear when you die,
unless you're questing. This was a good idea submitted long ago
but we're going through them all and going to give each its due.
Some quests require you to get a list of creatures on your trophy.
Gods who assign quests are responsible for marking players as
'questing' or not.
* August 16, 2008
- A hundred or so player submitted ideas have been addressed
and the responses are in the forums. These ideas span all
the way back to the first week this current version of the
code was active.
* August 12, 2008
- Some sorcerer single-target attack spells were recalibrated.
- NPCs are affected by laryngitis. This sad affliction has
descended upon them due to the corruption of the Necromancer
class by nefarious agents.
* August 10, 2008
- Due to insufficient demand, the weapon slinging feature has
been retired.
- The operation of the sense life spell has changed. Our
long-time players may recognize its behavior being very close
to the original spell. In keeping with the concept of life
forces, it now depends on the susceptibility to healing magic.
As a result, purely magical creatures cannot be sensed with
this spell.
- Heatwave and Cone of Cold was fixed. You'll have to discover
that that means.
* April 17, 2008
- Hitroll and Armor Class points are now individually significant.
Previously, you had to roll over the 10s digit to gain any
benifit - for example, 19 was no better than 10. Now every
point counts.
* April 12, 2008
- The AUTOTREAS toggle can be used to merely loot treasure,
such as coins and gems, from your kills.

- When you are in a fluid state due to the Waterform or
Vaporform spell, you won't be able to pick up or accept
objects.
- Creatures are resistant to various types of damage
according to their composition. For example, ice creatures
will be immune to cold, but vulnerable to crushing. See
HELP COMPOSITION for more information.
- Creatures are also vulnerable to certain attacks according
to their life force. See HELP LIFE FORCE for more
information.
- Spectres, ghosts, and other creatures with no physical
form are generally invulnerable to physical attacks.
However, the bless and dark presence spells can help
fighters destroy these beings. See HELP BLESS and
HELP DARK PRESENCE.
