This is Apollo, god of the sun and lord of light. He exudes a radiant beauty that outshines the light of the sun itself. He wears a toga of purest white, and a wreath of laurel leaves. A sense of inner peace radiates from him. He looks about nineteen dimins tall, five and nine tenths dimins wide and one and nine twentieths dimins long. He is in good shape. > If you wish to become a follower of the Lord of Light, say 'Accept me as your disciple, great Apollo.'

Apollo:
You are a devout worshipper of the great sun-god, Apollo. His is a powerful association of fanatical subjects. He grants several abil- ities of note to them: 'help apollonian abilities' for more details. Apollo cares little about what his subjects do with respect to other gods. However, he places restrictions and requirements upon their behaviour in exchange for granting his blessings: 'help apollonian restrictions' for more. Finally, to see how to correctly invoke his aid, and to find out how to leave his service, 'help apollonian syntax'. > Abilities:
Apollo grants his favor to his subjects in several different ways. First, they may 'dazzle' an opponent, by spreading a bit of his light within dark places. They can 'commune' with Apollo to find out where he is located, and thus know night from day at all times. Finally, in order to ensure continued favor with Apollo, his followers may 'offer' items to him for his amusement. In addition, he grants his followers protection from damage by other sources of light. His temple also serves as a fast way to move across the continent, as only members may use an exit from which they did not enter. Disciples also have a communication channel, accessed with the commands 'apollonian' and 'assoc'. > Restrictions:
Apollo demands only your continued devotion in return for the light that he grants you. This light will vary according to the current constantly offer items up to him for his approval. Beware that should you fall out of favor, a request for aid will at best, fall on deaf ears, and at worst, result in your death. Know that by your exposure to his light, you become more susceptible to the effects of damage by elements which would tend to counteract his light. > Syntax:
dazzle <target> (You must specify a target) commune offer <item> to Apollo (remember to capitalize Apollo) denounce apollo (while in the temple, to leave the association)
