Long time ago, before humans came to this world, there lived a people called the Ista'rei in a faraway land. When their civilization died out, the land evolved and changed for a long time. Only recently has it been discovered by the expanding human race and opened up to the general public. That land is called Ilshenar (from the original Ilshe'nar), and it is open to you, the adventurers.
You can reach Ilshenar via teleportation platforms located throughout the world. Assassins have various restrictions on the platforms for entry.
In Ilshenar, the rules are slightly different than everywhere else:
- You cannot record locations there with runes and teleportation books, so you must walk everywhere.
- There is a strict ban on logging out throughout Ilshenar. The exceptions are the following civilized places: Lakeshire Village, Wispwood Inn, and Happy Arthrosis Tavern (you can find out if you are actually in these spaces by typing .where). Any loitering outside these designated zones will be severely punished.
- Ilshenar has very strict penalties for aiding PK, as assassins are deliberately restricted from using the bank in Ilshenar. If any, even the slightest, aiding PK is observed in Ilshenar, all those involved will be severely punished.
