Connecting to a Realm

Players connect to the current engine over SSH. QUIC belongs to realm-to-realm federation, not the player connection.

ssh -p 2222 [email protected]

Use the port published by the operator; source runs default to 2222, and the development Docker stack publishes 22022.

On a first public-key connection, the realm derives a did:key identity from your SSH key and asks you to choose a local name. On return, the same key opens the same account. Keep the private key on your machine.

The realm may enable invite gating. If it does, registration asks for a single-use token supplied by the operator.

After login, /help basics gives the compact command map. look, the cardinal directions, say, talk to, sensory verbs, take, drop, give, /inventory, /map, and display modes are implemented.

WebSocket sessions are also available when the operator leaves that listener enabled. The structured Pharos/1 client protocol has a normative specification, but the complete first-party client and crypto bridge are still roadmap work.
