About this resource

Orodruin is a historical Merc-derived Windows source package. The original orodruin.zip contains C source, headers and Windows build-project files. It is source material, not a compiled server despite the collection index wording, and no world dataset is bundled.

License and attribution
Source headers reference DikuMUD, Merc and Envy license documents that are not bundled. Rights and inherited requirements remain subject to licensing review. No replacement license has been added to the original archive. Preserve all individual source copyright and contributor notices.

Compatibility and security warnings
Historical Windows project files require manual review and adaptation. Modern compatibility, compilation, runtime behavior and security have not been verified. Review the code and dependencies before use, and test separately from production systems.

Compatibility

Legacy Windows C source and project files. Modern compiler and operating-system compatibility unverified. No world dataset bundled.

A download checksum confirms file integrity, not security or runtime compatibility. Review the source and included documentation before running unfamiliar software.

Attribution stays with the work.
