Difference between revisions of "Category:Domain of Law"

The push and pull of Law and Chaos as they try to influence the planes is rarely noticed by planar inhabitants though they sometimes play a role for one side or the other. Champions of either side usually act indirectly but sometimes a hands-on approach is needed.

The kaleidoscope of their interactions can be seen in the furthest reaches of the realms and even more so at the doorsteps of Chaos and Law.

Directions

Planeshift to Astral and go d, d, w

Connections

Go east,east to visit the Realm of Chaos.

Navigation

Visit the dragon Bestellen and 'salute' to start your trip.

This leads to a modest-sized maze of rooms called "White Strands". We went east, east, west; east, east, west ; west, east, east ; up, south, down ; east, down, down.

As you fight lattice workers, it appears that the exits in the room change!! We entered a room that had exits in every direction and after killing one lattice worker, the exits were now just "east south down". From here we went down,down and found ourselves one above the Axial Dragon.

We also found an invisible mob called The Tesseract when someone accidentally scattershotted it and died immediately:

 The Tesseract fades into existence.
 The Tesseract's attacks strike Baeindor 10 times, with terminal brutality!
 Baeindor is DEAD!!
 [DEATH INFO]: Baeindor killed by The Tesseract in White Strands (22638).
 (Hide) (Flying) (White Aura) (Sneak) A collapsing cube reflects all of time and space.
 look tesseract
 Mprog control mob for rooms in Domain of Law.
 The Tesseract is in perfect health.
 You peek at the inventory:

Bestellen gives you other clues about area mechanics too:

 say dragon
 Bestellen says 'The dragon can project the force of Law.' 
 Bestellen says 'This expunges chaos from its presence for a short time.' 
 Bestellen says 'It can only do this a limited number of times.

Adventuring

This area has a number of mobs named "lattice worker" who have unusual keywords not obvious from their description -- including "spider" (40 mobs with kyword), "caterpillar" (38 mobs with keyword), "fly" (40 mobs with keyword).

Mobs in this area are all good aligned, so bring someone who can preach absolve or you will lose anti-neutral gear.

Geometry

One sub-quest in Domain of Law is shape-related.

Once in a player's incarnation they may fill all three holes, and earn a special insignia. No one has done this yet.

Shapes

Some lattice workers carry shapes, which are trash type, weight 50 objects that are cursed. Shapes we have seen:

• torus
• hexagonal prism
• cylinder
• rhombus
• ellpisoid
• sphere
• cone
• triangular prism
• cube

 Object 'triangular prism' type trash, extra flags glow hum magic nolocate.
 Weight 50, value 9300, level 125.
 Object Quality (500 / 500 hps)

Shape sorting

At the end of your journey, you'll enter the Axial Dragon's room. The first 3 times you enter you're sent to one of 3 different rooms:

 The Axial Dragon draws a deep breath, pulling everyone in the vicinity closer.
 Force is released from the dragon's maw, throwing you like a twig through the air.

In each of the 3 rooms there is a hole.

• Once per character's incarnation* you can fill the hole (a single player can only ever fill hole 1 once, fill hole 2 once, fill hole 3 once, etc). Subsequent attempts by the same character to fill the hole will fail.

Once you've filled all 3 holes, then done "kneel bestellen", you'll get a special hole-filling reward.

Holes we have seen in first room:

• A score of triangles are cut into the white surface.
• "warped cube" (put rhombus hole)

Holes we have seen in the second room:

• It appears that a globe would be needed to fill the hole. (put sphere hole?)
• perfect circle that gets smaller (put cone hole)

Holes we have seen in the third room:

• egg-shaped (put ellipsoid hole)

The shape is consumed, and the hole disappears. Only the person who puts the shape into the hole gets credit for having filled the hole.

Axial dragon gear

The fourth time you visit, you fight the Axial Dragon. This mob does not skin to anything interesting and carries:

• perfect dragon scale: Give this to Bestellen and he'll drop a tablet on the floor, unlocking Realm of Chaos.
• 2x orderly dragon scale: These are worth 5qp if you hand them to Knutselaar.
• yet another dragon scale: Give this to Allegaagse! You'll get a bonus!

Unlocking Realm of Chaos

After you give the perfect dragon scale to Bestellen he drops a tablet on the floor and says

 Bestellen says 'The directions etched into this tablet will guide you through the chaos to its heart.'
 Bestellen says 'Follow them exactly after you first step into chaos from the rainbow portal.'
 Bestellen says 'If you stray from the path you will have to start at the first step again.'

He drops a tablet on the floor in his room that has some directions:

    (Glowing) A tablet rests on a solid, white pedestal placed just before the throne.
 You look at the white tablet here...
 Directions through the chaos have been etched deeply into the tablet.
 The tablet appears to be part of the pedestal so you will probably
 have to write them down on something if you want to take them with
 you.
 (Look DIRECTION1, DIRECTION2 etc)

One time, these were edswdeeuesdn. These directions lead to a large room (8 mobs, they hit a trl sor soloing for about 30k/round, Kinetisch is a big one).

If you give him something after this, but before killing the Realm of Chaos mobs, he drops it:

 You give a bright ball of light to Bestellen.
 Bestellen says 'I cannot accept anything until the task in chaos is complete.'
 Bestellen drops everything.

He also gives a clue that something on the Chaos side can improve the base of manifest gear:

 say 'chaos'
 Bestellen says 'Epic armor doesn't always reach full potential when created.'
 Bestellen says 'This has a chance of changing that outcome if used by the right hands.'

Conversations with the mob

 tesseract
 Bestellen says 'The tesseract is the embodiement of true law.'
 Bestellen says 'At its core rests perfection incarnate in the form of a dragon.'
