MUME Help

TERRAIN


Each place on Arda is characterized by a specific terrain type, which is represented (in prompts and elsewhere) as follows:

[ Building ( Hills + Road = Tunnel
# City < Mountains W Rapids O Cavern
. Field % Shallows U Underwater
f Forest ~ Water : Brush

At the moment, the symbols used in map, map rooms, and map global are different, due to historical reasons…

Different races find it easier or harder to move in different terrains. In the table below, "easier" and "harder" are relative to the race of Men.

Field Brush Forest Hills Shallows Mountains
Elves - - easier - - harder
Dwarves - harder harder - - easier
Hobbits easier harder - - harder harder
Orcs - - harder easier - easier
Trolls easier easier easier - harder easier
Bears - - easier easier - easier

What is MUME?

MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is a multiplayer text-based online game based upon J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth during the epic wars of the late Third Age between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the Free peoples. MUME is completely at no cost and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
