The School of Folklorists

The school of folklorists is a mixed group of adventurers and scholars, specialized in studying mythical creatures and folklore. The school teaches both offensive and defensive techniques, but the focus is on the defense and information collection. It offers a very good support to other civilized guilds, both fighter and caster types - let alone an interesting career studying and exploring the game. Easy access to world of civilized magic users, accompanied with complex range of herbs, monsters and folklore to become acquainted with. Folklorists are not overtly religious, lending power from whichever god seems the most suitable for the situation ahead.

Location and Guildhall

The folklorists guild is located in Arelium at coordinates [12, 34], north and a bit west of the Church of All Gods.

South of the entrance is the auditorium, where folkorists can train skills, study spells, advance in levels, and become apprenticed to higher-ranking guild members. The guild's noteboard is also located here.

West of the entrance is the library, which contains the guild's Guide, a compendium of all the data folklorists have collected on the various creatures of BatMUD. Use 'look at guide on ground' to get started with using it.

South of the library is Evokay, the guild's resident mindflayer. Folklorists should 'ask evokay about report' on occasion to have the new data they've collected via study creature and autopsy added to the guild's repository. Evokay tracks the number of different creatures, called marks, that each guild member has studied. You can 'ask evokay about view' to see how a ranking of guild members by the number of marks they've studied.

North and west of the entrance is Xiaxulus. New guild members should 'ask xiaxulus about quests' to get more information on the guild quests.

The guild's gift shop is located two north of the guild entrance. Anech, who runs the shop, sells a variety of items of interest to guild members.

Herbal Spells

Folklorists have a series of spells that use a herb as a reagent. Fresh herbs are better and some herbs are supposedly better for some spells. The spells are:

• Herbal poison blast - a single target poison blast
• Herbal poison spray - a area poison blast
• Herbal healing - a single target heal
• Herbal remove poison - cures poison, requires a healing herb
