DESCRIPTION
A Mark is a type of magical branding that creates a mystical
symbol upon your aura, visible only to specially-trained magic users.
While certain NPCs within the world of Alyria may bestow Marks upon
your person for performing tasks, Marks are most often given by the
Powers themselves, who watch and guide all of the denizens of the land.

You may receive Marks for:
* Visiting special locations
* Defeating certain NPCs
* Performing certain actions
* Solving certain puzzles
* Completing certain quests
* Participating in certain global events

Marks will always have descriptive names, such as the Mark of Adventure,
or the Mark of Valor. You may view a list of the Marks your character
has received by using the SCORE MARKS command, as well as see a current
numeric total in SCORE. A complete list of Marks may be viewed using
MARK LIST. There are hundreds of different Marks that can be obtained.

When a Mark is bestowed upon you, it will usually come with a reward
of some kind, usually in the form of additional practice sessions.
Sometimes having a specific Mark will allow you safe passage into a
certain area, or will let you receive a special item. There may be
multiple ways to receive the same Mark, but you can only obtain each
specific Mark once.

MARK LIST displays a list of all available Marks and hints for their
acquiring, or information on how you acquired it if you already have
that Mark. MARK LIST can be filtered by level range and/or keyword.

Below are various hints and secrets on how to acquire certain marks:

The Mark of Youth: Find the three colored leaves and complete the quest
   the druid in Lasler gives you.
The Mark of Adventure: Complete a certain number of quests before
   you reach level 61 in order to obtain this mark.
The Mark of Courage: Prevail against the creatures below the Mad Overlord
   Bloodbane's citadel, and battle to the bottom of the Proving Grounds!
The Mark of Judgment: A wrongfully-imprisoned knight of Agrippa's will
   reward you with this mark, when you free him from his orc captors!
The Mark of Truth: Cross the bridge where a samurai warrior lives in the
   forest close to Rune, without resorting to combat.
The Mark of Wisdom: Listen to the advice from the druid in Lasler and you
   will have a chance to acquire this mark.

Many more hints can be viewed in MARK LIST.
