11/18/2006 - IP address has changed a couple times, but the DNS has remained mostly steady (darkmists.org 2222 will work within half a day of an IP address change, if not sooner)... We celebrated our 10th Anniversary on October 21, 2006. Just in time for the big 10th Anniversary, our new coder Fastolph had opened a little window into our pfiles to show us our creation date and time, and our real time age... My information showed that I was created August 13, 1996 at 22:30:02.. With the 'score' command, the third line tells me how long ago I joined DM (at this writing, 'You joined Dark Mists 10 years, 98 days, 16 hours, 33 minutes, and 6 seconds ago.') Check it out for yourself... I wonder how many mortal characters will show they've been around for at least five years... Ancient House has undergone a roleplay (and House skillset) change... A new race, griffons, has found itself within our realms... As usual, other things are in the works but I'm not telling what. :)

A history of the beginnings of our world.

These are the people who try to keep the high standards of the game.

We have gods and goddesses, and they have special marks and religions.

It isn't worth the risk to break these.

From Anti-Paladins to Warriors, the occupations of our population.

Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Giants, and others who inhabit our world.

For those who want more out of life than what their guildmasters teach, and who require some comeraderie they can depend upon.

The great teachers, the great masters of their craft.

They say Legion and Valor are knightly orders. Yes... but not really... not the same as the orders started without benefit of house powers. So far only one such order exists, but when more are formed, they will be listed here.

Amidst the murder, killing, blood-letting, murder, killing, did I remember to say murder? ... Sometimes people find love... Only the marriage ceremonies officiated by an immortal or a cleric are listed here. This list does not include blood bonds performed without a cleric or god present.

No need to get lost in this world. Well, mostly no need...

These people took the time to perfect their knowledge of skills and spells taught them by their guildmasters (and in some cases, granted by their Houses).

The Monks work very hard on mastery of their bodies and themselves. The highest belt rank they can achieve through this hard work is the Black Belt. These are the true grandmasters of the martial arts...

Here's lookin' at you, kid...

There are times when mortals have to prove who is the best, and it isn't at killing...

Results of the Tournaments that Utara holds in the Arena.

Things to come? Just plain gossip?

Ever wonder how time is reckoned in our world? A short primer on the subject...

A layman's view of the technical history of Dark Mists, without going into details about the code.

Proof positive that Crusaders don't only talk about 'bad magics' and 'bashy smashy'. THE Bunny's eye view of the secret lives of Crusaders.

A tribute to a truly wonderful immortal who was with us for, alas, too short a time.

And for those who need help with archaic English grammar, this little page might give some insights.
