They also believed that actions in the Dream have an indirect effect, if any, on the waking world. Arreouw discovered that there were several such Houses, each with a different set of beliefs strongly held by its members. Unlike many currently popular online games, random player killing is not tolerated in Underlight. Players who are reported for such actions are strongly cautioned against repeating the behaviors and if they continue to attack, unprovoked, their characters are deleted. They can begin a new avatar, but without any of the items and or skills they had learned before.
Player killing which results from legitimate roleplay is no problem.
Dreamers make it their business to help one another in Underlight. A certain Ruler, by name of Wraith, spent an evening in the open fields of Trinity teaching Arreouw and two other newly awakened Dreamers many things that would help them survive the dangers they would face in the City of Dreams. He taught them to use their blade Arts, communicate effectively, hide themselves, and to find others who are hidden. These last two lessons involved the most curious items, found in many places around the Dream, which conferred such temporary abilities on Dreamers, even before the Arts could be learned. Most importantly, he demonstrated the fine art of combat.
