Orion: /* Beginning to End (?) */

== Orion's Description ==
Before you stands a swirling group of stellar bodies. You begin to make out the familiar shape of the Hunter - he who guided you through many nights of adventuring, he who guarded you during countless nights of slumber in this troubled realm.

This form - which you know as Orion - has hunted the skies since the first beast walked this land. Cultures of legend and other worlds knew him well.

Egyptians knew him as Osiris, god of the dead. His tribunal passed judgement on every soul bound for the world beyond.

To the Greeks, the form was Orion, son of Poseidon and lover of Artemis.

The Tewa of New Mexico know him as Long Sash, an ancient warrior who guided his people along the Endless Trail - the Milky Way.

Orion appeared to the ancient Maya as the hearth of creation - that from which creation began.

Behold the Hunter, God of the Underworld, Hearth of Creation, Orion.

You find yourself in the center of a mostly translucent sphere. As your
eyes adjust to the darkness, you notice an impressive workstation to
your left. It includes a half-dozen LCD displays, various computer
components, and a mini-bar. As you glance around the space, you find it
sparsely furnished with a large couch, billiards table, and bookshelves
crammed with literary classics and technical manuals. The stars
surrounding this sphere are unfamiliar - this is not the sky of your
home world.

== Beginning to End (?) ==
Orion began play at Avatar sometime during 1999, after a few year break from mudding while in college. He discovered the mud through a website that allowed users to search by specific criteria, things like player-killing, average count, etc. After checking all the options, he ended up with one mud: AVATAR. And he hasn't played anywhere else since.

Orion first played an [[elf]] [[warrior]], a fairly terrible combination, he learned, but he was more interested in playing the character. Orion was interested in social aspects of the mud, and particularly enjoyed playing and conversing with the quite international player base. Early in his days as a hero, he developed a website called the Avatar Player Locator, which allowed players to login and register their location in the world. The site is now defunct, but it was enough to demonstrate to someone in the immortal staff that Orion enjoyed much more than sponging and hoarding items. Within a few months of the site's launch, Orion received an invitation to participate as an [[Acolyte]], an [[Immortal]] candidate.

Orion retired in October, 2004, (at the rank of Host Senior) as his relatively new job was increasingly taxing and didn't leave much time for mudding. Oh, that and his four children (he had just one when he began mudding).

He returned to Avatar during the summer of 2006, and was invited to return as an immortal in September of that year. Orion is active on the web team, lending expertise from his day job to the mud.

== Orion, the person ==
Orion is married and the father of four, and resides in a large midwestern city in the United States. He produces multimedia for a living, including websites of all varieties (data driven, flash, etc.), quite a bit of video for broadcast, and also does graphic design. He manages a team of web developers who run the website for a major college campus, and does a considerable amount of production for the campus' NCAA Division I athletics program. If you watch carefully during televised games, he's on the sideline with his HD broadcast camera. Real carefully.

Orion: /* Directions */

''The woods are hidden away on [[:Category: Highways/Great Wall |the eastern trail]] that wraps around the northern edge of [[:Category: Town Of Solace |Solace]], near [[:Category: Brothers Grimm |Brothers' Grimm]]. Rumored to be the domain of bloodthirsty [[Hobgoblins |hobgoblins]], not many adventurers have gone to actually check it out. Reports from yeomen and patrolling knights indicate the mass influx of [[Goblins |goblins]] entering the area, although none have returned, and have possibly been killed by the [[Hobgoblins |hobgoblins]]. Evidence for this, one green knight says, is the low guttural cries that are heard constantly, sometimes scattering the doves in front of Grimms' cottage.''

From the author: 
The mob levels increase based on far into the area you get. The mobs near the entrance are 11-12. The training area (after you go through the water east/southish, take the west past the living tree) is full of 13-14 level mobs. The tree in the SE corner has the 15-16 mobs.

''Near the [[:Category: Ruins Of Reveria |remains of the kingdom of the High Drow]], there exists an underground city of [[Orcs |orcs]] called Orkenhome. Though no one is quite sure why, the [[Orcs |orcs]] of this region aren't like others of their kind. They don't make war, they earn their keep through labor, and, worst of all, they act downright civilized.''
