Welcome to the fun and exciting world of MUD building. This document is intended as a quick overview of how to use OLC to build your areas for Valarin. Hopefully this manual will answer most of your questions about building. However, if you believe there is something needed or something that is explained poorly, please let Brokken know immediately so it can be fixed.

This document, unlike the other documents on this site, is guaranteed to be kept up to date with the status of the MUD.
