LambdaRogue Wiki

Welcome to the LambdaRogue Wiki
This wiki will collect information about gameplay and story of the roguelike RPG "LambdaRogue: The Book of Stars". This also includes a walkthrough (main quest only) and many spoilers.

About LambdaRogue
LambdaRogue is a roguelike RPG. The most recent version is 1.6. LambdaRogue can be downloaded at its official website. The game is available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS X.

If one had to categorize LambdaRogue to be either a "hack"-game or a "band"-game judging by dungeon generation, it would clearly fall into the "band"-category: Like in Angband and other *bands, standard dungeon levels are randomly generated every time a staircase is used and the player will never encounter the same dungeon level twice.

LambdaRogue Story
Men and the species of Drekh'Nar once lived peaceful together on Earth, both not far away from reaching the stars with spaceships. Sadly, a misunderstanding led to war before these dreams could be realized. However, after a long and bloody battle, a peace treaty was created. This treaty forced mankind to go underground, while the Drekh'Nar could stay on the surface of Earth.

Since then, ages have passed. Both species haven’t seen each other and for many people, the Drekh'Nar are just legends. Mankind has lost the most of its technological knowledge, but it has developed a civilization based on respect and belief.

However, some people are still striving for more. One of them is Ahna, priestess in Enoa , one of the underground settlements. Since her youth, she was interested in the old stories, in dreams of Sky and Stars. Her whole life she has researched on a legendary book once written by Yron shortly after the war: The Book of Stars.

Most people think that this and the other books of Yron are lost since centuries, but Ahna does not. Indeed she has found hints that may lead to the discovery of the Books of Yron – and therefore to the re-discovery of Earth and Space.

It is up to you to help Ahna and redeem mankind:
