The Handbook equips you with essential rules and advice for survival and prosperity in Dereth. We encourage you to read each of the following sections thoroughly. For help with some common technical issues, see the Asheron's Call FAQ, which you can get to by clicking Game Help in the menu on the left. To access extensive help within the game, click the Question Mark [?] icon in the upper right corner of the game screen.
In Dereth, even vagabonds must hold themselves to a minimum level of courtesy, or suffer stern reprisals. Before you enter Asheron's world, we suggest you read the Code by which all players must abide.
When you first arrive in Dereth, you will want to locate sources of information and supplies and determine how best to communicate with fellow adventurers. This guide will help you with these basics, in addition to more difficult matters such as deciding what terms you'll demand before entering an allegiance.
You needn't use antique speech to portray a native of this heroic fantasy world. Consider these guidelines for developing your alter ego both with and without it.
Advertise for adventuring partners, get help, maintain contact with your superiors and followers, and send your messages faster and more efficiently.
Working as a group may reap far greater rewards than adventuring solo, but only if you effectively organize your group and understand how the fellowship system works, what communication aids it offers, and how it allocates experience points.
The lawless frontier of Dereth attracts many independent adventurers fleeing the complexity, routine, and social obligations of their homeworld. Each aspires to self-rule and hopes to gain respect on his or her own terms. Why then do so many swear their allegiance to another?
When debating ownership of your own head, the swift and confident placement of steel may prove your only argument. Before you join the fight, establish your own procedure for targeting and dispatching enemies.
In Dereth, you must walk your own path to magic, but others can help point the way. Remember these basic principles for obtaining spells and determining when and how to deploy them.
