====== Purpose ======
Nilgiri the Forgotten World exists so people can meet in a shared text world — explore, fight, trade, and keep friends — at a human pace.

===== Player-facing purpose =====
From [[player:gamelaw|Game Law]] and the live systems:

  * **Discover** — explore zones, search out secrets, share or keep knowledge ([[player:gamelaw:exploring|Exploring]], [[player:gamelaw:worldofnilgiri|The World of Nilgiri]])
  * **Communicate** — organize with say / tell / boards / friends ([[player:gamelaw:communicating|Communicating]], [[player:gamelaw:bulletinboard|Bulletin Board]], [[player:gamelaw:friends|Friends]])
  * **Adventure** — combat for experience, gold, and treasure ([[player:gamelaw:combat|Combat]])
  * **Trade** — a note economy with banks, shops, and mail ([[player:gamelaw:bankingguild|Banking Guild]], [[player:gamelaw:shopkeepers|Shopkeepers]], [[player:gamelaw:postalguild|Postal Guild]])
  * **Grow** — classless skills driven by rolled stats ([[player:skilllaw:skillstree|SkillsTree]], [[player:skilllaw:practicing|Practicing]], [[player:gamelaw:races|Races]])

===== Why a MUD =====
A MUD keeps imagination and social play in the foreground: no graphical arms race, reconnectable characters, and rules you can read. Connect remains simple:

  ''ssh nilgiri@nilgiri.net''
