Description
Certain players who have the strong desire to help new players adjust to the unique world of Alyria are designated as GUIDES. This designation is visible by typing the GUIDE command.
GUIDES have the ability to monitor prays, and join and leave the Novice Clan.
A Guide can also assist in player-to-player squabbles, and is trusted to mediate minor disputes.
Guides are also useful to help manage player-to-player trades of in-game items. If you wish to trade an item with another player, it is always wisest (and recommended) to engage a guide to act as an escrow between you and the character with which you are trading. This way, the guide acts as an independent third party and will hold onto the tradeable item(s) until both parties are satisfied with the deal.
