Register for A Hero:
You start at the New Hero (Registration) page. The page lets you find a unique name and enter your email address. You will have a password sent to your email address. It should arrive immediately, allowing you to login with your hero name and password.

No Emails or No Login Screen:
Read the following FAQ for detailed help - Trouble Shooting FAQs

Logging On:
Enter your name and password in the play area (the big box on the top of the page with the huge words saying 'Dragon Court'). A picture with the words 'Enter Here' will appear. Click on the picture.

Designing Heros:
You are given 20 build points to distribute between three characteristics, special abilities, and starting cash. When you have spent all your points, a button will appear allowing you to continue.

Buying Gear:
Once you have entered the game, go to town, then to the smithy and armourer. Buy a dagger and buckler. Click on the status bar (bottom of screen), then select and 'Use' your gear.

Status Bar:
You can click in the status bar at the bottom of the screen to get more detailed information about your hero. From here you can 'Use' (or wear) weapons, armour and magic items.

Questing:
Most areas have a picture button labeled '{1}Quest!'. Click here to begin adventuring. At each stage you will be shown options. Deciding which option to select is all up to you.

Equipment Values:
[+#a+#d@] +#a is the attack bonus, +#d is the defense bonus. An ampersand ('@') indicates that the item has recently suffered from rust. If you don't see a display then take the item to the smithies to be identified.

Details: to see if a piece of equipment has additional abilities, look for the 'Info' button. You can find one in all weapon shops and in your status screen.
