Story/History:

Adventurers from all regions have come to train their skills, hoping to be the best fighter in all the land. Jedis and Warriors clash in epic battles as Mages call lightning down on agile Ninjas. Within the training grounds they gain experience, hoping to be strong enough to advance to the battle arena, where rows of dangerous and experienced fighters await their next challenge. The lure of fame calls to you strongly -- will you answer?

The Training Grounds are now open to players of all levels, making this a great zone for lowbie char raising.

General Zone Strategies

This is a low-level (1-20) zone with some great early equipment to help you on your way.  If you don't have a set of high-level characters to help with newbie leveling, the Training Grounds are a great way to get started at JediMUD.  For those of you with Bards, this zone is much like the Bardic Colleges for all classes, remort or non-remort!

Obtain the small brass key in the training grounds from any training master. Unlock the gate to the battle fields, or have a thief pick the lock. Master Lee is down from the Central Battlefield. Lee holds the bright silver key with inlaid diamonds for the locked door to the east, when Master Zay awaits.
