I've tweaked some of the factors in Attunement level calculation. Specifically, the trait factors now check the "true" base trait, i.e. apart from bonuses you get from a highly boosted order/chaos affinity. To compensate, the amount you get from your *base* order/chaos affinity has been increased. I also threw in a penalty to your attunement level for being too intoxicated. -- Twilight, 10/08

Attunement is the esoteric process of ordering the structure of one's essence with the structure of nature. With attunement one achieves inner serenity through environmental harmony. The Attuned are a loosely affiliated band of wanderers who have initiated themselves in this process by meditating on certain significant patterns in the Hanoman ecosystem. The cause of these patterns is poorly understood, but their significance is beyond doubt.
Attunement is primarily mental, achieved through discipline, meditation, awareness of patterns, and most of all one's commitment to a rapport with order. The main benefit of attunement is that rapport, though it is said that at higher levels of attunement one can further harmonize oneself with the universe through meditation. To estimate your level of attunement, visualize Hanoma. Type 'help order affinity' and 'help order favour' for more information on the nature of attunement.
The Attuned have a certain metaphysical rapport with one another which includes the ability to communicate regardless of distance and language via the "attuned" communication channel.
Though attunement is not per se a magickal or psychical process, it will open up potential avenues of advancement for practioners of those arts; the same goes for certain esoteric scholastic and physical disciplines.
You may attempt to sever your connection with nature by decreasing your attunement as much as possible, returning to where you began attunement on Hanoma, and visualizing Hanoma disintegrating.
