Ok so there has been a lot of recent conversation about Warlords and their behavior. I just chalked it up to being whatever but I just got a taste of it firsthand. I haven’t logged my characters in many months or if I have it’s been to keep life support. No previous interactions with any Warlords, been playing it extremely low key since I haven’t hit 50 yet but apparently I’m deathmarked?
Oh, never seen or interacted with Letya. Sent a tell when she logged in to ask if she would help me rank but no response, she just comes in and murders my groupmate Vargan.

Letya tells you 'Hide fight or stay quiet.'
What is this bullshit? I don’t mind nuking the Warlords but I have to do a double take to make sure I was talking to Warlord and not a Legion.
She is mad at me.. and she seems mistaken Gidji by me.. hrm.. blinded by her rage against me and the thieves guild she might by accidently attacked you, or she might declare a war against thieves.. In that case it is call to arms.. Thiefs!
She may have no idea how or why you have that deathmark on you, but it's there and she's suppose to do something about it. Letya does have obligation to duty.
You expect a Warlord to listen to a thief instead of following of a Deathmark e.g. trusting other Warlord's judgement? mkay, lots of misconceptions here.
I was helping Gidji to rank.. placed a banner and then Letya showed up.. I do not recall anything wrong from Gidji.. gotta tell your girl warrior warlord to hold her horses better next time.. I told her i could pry things off of her.. so she told me to shut up or stay hidden.... i chose to stay hidden..atleast for now.. I hope she is not that mad.. or one might fell in love.. Excuse me!
This log clearly states that the thief had a prior deathmark. I remember playing on a other 50, hearing about this deathmark.when it happened, but not the specifics. I was fighting the warlords myself at the time, and we disengaged so the warlord could go off after this thief. Beyond that I don't remember haha.
So this is a legitimate OOC question I have. Can someone clear up for me what exactly a deathmark is? I don't understand it.
I thought the whole cabal system was roughly "if you want PK to be an ever present presence of your play experience join one. Wars happen and hopefully the player base is big enough to support it so that the PK element is ever present for cabal players".
This thing where a deathmark brings the whole warlord cabal down on you feels like the war system except its cabal vs player. How does a non cabal player ever have a warlord nemesis if deathmark isn't personal but rather the entire cabal? It's actually meant to be the entire cabal?
Hmm. Ok. I guess that is a'ight if it just is the way it is. I guess I'll just leave the feedback that it's kinda confusing for a new player. This could just be my misconception but I interpreted the cabal system as kind of the AR equivalent of the PvP opt in you see in other MUDs. It's a full PVP game but if you really want to turn it up here is the opt in. And if you don't the consortium and valour and things are there for the alternate deeper level.
That's why I have found deathmark confusing. It feels like it's breaking what I had assumed were high level game - player contract type things. Even this answer is kinda weird on that level. It kinda feels like "if you want to know the details of how to not opt in you must first opt in".
Look at it as a quasi rite-of-passage. You can extrapolate from other logs what it is. Warlords are all about honour and honourable combat. Think gladiators. It is a code of battle, with consequences for breaking the code. There is a helpfile, isnt there?
Scrynor, deathmarks come from warlords who have been antagonized in some form or fashion, attacked directly, or if they feel you have dishonored them in some way. The deathmark discretion is completely up to the warlords and their battle leader. They can take an aggressive approach or a lesser, "passive" approach...or somewhere in between. Up to the leader to put in place what they expect.
Abandoned realms is a PK(PvP) MUD where roleplaying is required. Whether you are in a cabal or not, PK will come your way. Generally, joining a cabal will step up that PK experience and frequency of it with warfare and certain requirements/rules/standards some of those organizations have in place.
Thanks for the answer. That certainly jives with what I've seen and read. The new part for me isn't all that but rather that Letya is apparently compelled to pursue any deathmark by cabal rules. That's the part in this log that surprised me because it's not the character I've met and also not the cabal I've interacted with.
I'll just do a section break because I'm probably slipping from questions into (unsolicited and likely meaningless) opinion and feedback. I don't get. It seems like a counterproductive mechanic to me. Despite all the griping here about them warlords to me have represented an easier entry into PK. They offer a lower stakes way to learn to fight. Smaller environments, no surprise, sometimes no death. Questions answered before and after. It's just weird to me to see the far opposite extreme in the same cabal. Compelled harassment of a single player by all members for whatever offense whatever member sees fit. That's a 1 v many war. So the same cabal that is easiest to interact with as a PK entry point is also the most punishing to interact with if you want to take the RP connections you've built with them and graduate into a true PK "we are real enemies now" relationship? I dunno. I just don't get it from a design perspective. It feels like the game is simultaneously trying to incentivize you to interact with them, demanding they ask you to interact with them, and horribly punish you for interacting with them of you do it in the wrong way.
Scrynor, your "outside" or "new" perspective is extremely appreciated. I think there is value in that.
I am not a warlord, or up to speed with whatever the leader of that cabal expects. There use to be something that was more of a personal fight with a warlord that marked you with "Vendetta". I don't know if that is gone and now it's just a deathmark by one warlord makes you marked for death by all warlords. If one warlord has beef with you, why not keep it that way? I see your point there. On the flip side to that..."you disrespected our cabal(member) and earned a deathmark, and now the warlord cabal will deal with you.
The Warlords operate strictly on respect and strong boundaries. Its got nothing to do with game code or game design. It is an RP mechanic. I see plenty criticism of Warlords. Is it being done respectfully? Well, not if your approach is to try to publically besmirch a reputation on the logboard. Not at all. It is very inconsiderate to the player you just did that to. Its like "hi, heres me talking a bunch of trash completely OOC and have a nice day" . And then you see the responses like "Wait a minute... I see your bullshit."
oh well regardless every warlord has a dilemma of how to keep up the motivation for honor and respect while getting spam attacked with stuff like this idiot full loot and being killed naked afk. i see one warlord doing very well but its largely a shitshow that you dont wanna sign up for. seriously, dont join the warlord cabal. all i can promise you is our internal admiration. everything else is pretty shit. like get a load of this thread where warlords are criticized for looking out for one another
Yeah, just having a conversation here trying to understand warlord mechanics better. I was very clear I think highly of Letya multiple times.
You can say it's not code but deathmark is code and cabals have immortal leaders attached to them and rules governing player behavior. You should be able to understand why it looks like a designed structure meant to foster specific interactions to an outsider. Game dictated RP is game design. But it sounds from Xenyar's post like what a deathmark means might shift and be PC leader dictated so then it becomes an in character RP opportunity. But the game doesn't really make it clear which it is.
Also, your response is exactly the type of response I was worried about when I previously (roughly) said "it feels like we can't even talk about warlords without somebody getting upset". I'm not insulting or accusing anybody. I feel like I was more complimentary of the warlord system and players than almost any post I've seen here. And you still read it as an insult. I don't know what we are supposed to do with that as players who use the forum for discussion.
Xen, that Vendetta thing is really interesting. That definitely sounds like how I had interpreted deathmark before setting this. Also exactly what I thought when I saw the Vargan log. "Oh snap Szrevan is gonna mess him up for that". I think having 3 levels is a really good idea personally.
Scrynor, do not be discouraged by the few. Please continue asking all questions you have...as well as your perspective on things. It's nice to hear from a green players view. You state what you see, then ask questions for clarification and to make sure you are not misunderstanding some things. Please continue this. We are here to help.
you can read the helpfile for how deathmark works. you dont even have to login - scroll to top of this page, write "deathmark" into the box and click search. it means you did something that can be settled for only by blood being spilled. they are not compelled to pursue other warlords deathmarks
I was going to say... When the old vendetta system was in place, there was no compulsion to pursue somebody just because a vendetta existed. Some fire giant allegedly would issue vendettas instead of challenging people (never witnessed it directly), though Kaeno told my last Warlord that I could place them freely at the rank you can first issue them... With a warning that I would be judged by my use of vendettas and promotions would be in part based on using them appropriately. Aside from personal beefs between a Warlord and somebody else, I'd say the following situations would've involved the issuing of a vendetta:
1. Sneak attacks;
2. Failing to uphold the terms of a duel (killing in a duel to the stun, or not taking what was agreed upon prior to the duel in a duel to the death);
3. Cabal intrusions;
4. Attacking the Juggernaut or other actions which interfere with the sanctity of a duel in progress;
Whether these situations involve a deathmark now I can't say as I'm no longer in the cabal. But that should give you some idea of what to expect if you're curious, Scrynor.
You coulda just sent note ingame to Warlord cabal and ask what's going on and your memory woulda been refreshed in-game. This naming and shaming on logboard seems petty af.
