MUME Help
ISTARI
When the power of Sauron began to grow again in the Third
Age, five great Wizards arrived to combat the evil. Only
three were ever known, Saruman the White - the most powerful, and head of the
Istari; Gandalf the Grey, the wisest; and Radagast the Brown, the most at
home with Nature. Of the other two, Alatar and Pallando,
very little has ever been spoken.
The Istari in MUME
The highest-ranked, good-aligned, and experienced Istar is called the Tan Istar, or Head of the Istari Council.
In MUME, an unlimited number of
players can take the path of the Istari, as it is the
route to immortality (see HELP ISTARI
QUEST). Because of this, an Istar is considered a
"proto-Ainur" and it is their purpose to help low
level players. Istari should advise
new players of simple rules, and to
teach them the basics of gameplay, as
well as group with them, as this is also the only way they
can gain experience for themselves.
