Halls of Mandos

From MUME

The Halls of Mandos is a special room where all newly created whitie characters start out, and also where all whitie characters end up after dying or unretiring. In the Halls, the pray command works differently - instead of communicating with the Ainur, it instead allows you to transport to a selected location on Arda (see the pray article for more info). If you were sent to the Halls after dying, you need to regenerate some health before you can pray. It's impossible to narrate, sing or cast spells while in the Halls.

The room contains a sign and a bulletin board that provide some info for new players. Some basic equipment also loads here on a table, including a hatchet, a hunting knife, torches, and some food like apples and bread.
