Levels
In Haven one advances through levels which are attained by advancing ones primary skills. This is a list of significant levels and their meanings.
Newbie
Levels: 0-4
As a newbie, one must learn their way around their home town as well as the surrounding area in order to find places to advance. Prior to level five, one must submit a story (see 'help story') that fits into an IC (in character) description of your characters background and attitudes. This story must be approved by a Muse+ of the immortal staff before one can advance to level 5.
Mortal
Levels: 5-24
Mortality is a tough time for new players in general. It is when the world becomes a dark, cold and generally hostile place. You lose all the perks of being a newbie such as the ability to understand all languages, see in all light settings, the ability to resist weather conditions, and the inability to PK and be PK'd (see 'help pk'). Mortality should be thought of as an apprenticeship of your craft. You will learn much about your characters abilities during this time.
High Mortal
Levels: 25-49
High mortals are the journeymen of Haven. They have put in their dues and advanced to a level of competence that separates them from mortals. By the time you reach high mortal it is assumed that one will know all the things pertinent to their character's background. Such as: their religion's world view, the major characters in the town they reside in (like the mayor and trainers, and newbie equipper, etc), the location of the major cities, racial relations and such.
Legend
Levels: 50-99
Legends are high level characters who have put a lot of effort into advancement. By the time one reaches legendary status, they should be extremely familiar with the workings of their characters niche in society. It is at this time that people find it best to assume leadership positions in organizations such as guilds and as mentors to younger characters from their town or religious affiliation, one might also seek to gain social rank (see 'help rank') in the city they reside in. While gaining rank can be done at any level, it is typically reserved for higher level characters who have the ability to accumulate the wealth necessary to buy titles.
Avatar
Levels: 100-249
Avatars are tough. Depending on their alignment they are either great allies or dangerous foes. Avatars have reached at least level 100 which means they're very strong and powerful. By this level one should have acquired a vast amount of knowledge about the game in general as well as about their character.
Demi-God
Levels: 250-399
The name really says it all. Demi-God's are extremely powerful characters who have undoubtedly built up a reputation for themselves in one way or another. They make whole cities tremble in fear or praise their name. They are godlike.
Epic Paragon
Levels: 400-500
This is the last status one can achieve in the mortal plane of existence. Epic Paragon's are the top tier of characters who have put in much work into being the cream of the crop. They typically have more skill points in their little finger than most mortals do in their whole skill set.
