Thanks for the advice! I rolled a cleric, and I've been bashing things for a little while. I'm loving the game so far, I feel so lost in it with no maps! Sadly I have to go for a bit, but I'll be back on tonight. I'm going to have to use the Wiki to figure some stuff out. Mainly what a bind is and how to get it, and also where Orc Hill is, and these other areas.
Hope to see some of you on later!

Orc Hill is a camp in Greater Faydark north of the city of Kelethin where newbies often go to group before they're ready for Crushbone. A bind is a spell level 12+ casters can cast on you to change where you appear when you die - this is important because when you die, you need to get to your corpse with your items on it. If you created a character that starts out in a certain city and then you go far away to hunt, and you die there, you have a long journey to your corpse. (I should add that Clerics and other wisdom casters get Bind Affinity at 14, not 12; you will most likely need to get binds from other people before then.)
