==Early Life==

Zai was born somewhere near [[Steelclaw Clan]], north of [[Shard]]. Upon seeing her pale, almost translucent eyes and deep black hair the Midwife called for the baby to be killed immediately. Her parents agreed but could not find the will to kill the infant outright, instead abandoning it deep in the fallow fields east of Shard.

Her own memories start when she was four and believed the couple raising her in the Middens were her parents. Her 'mother' was a custodian to a minor Rivercrossing importer while her 'father' cleaned horse stalls for a prominent Horse Care company. These two professions put her in contact with a wide array of people and influences, chief among which was a Gor'tog thief named Uskul who became a patron of hers. Uskul visited Crossing at least once a month to buy and sell horses and to relay information on caravan schedules, manifests, rosters, and routes to his guild.

Uskul funded the private education of a number of Middens children in an attempt to cull future leaders of the district. By age thirteen Zai figured out her 'parents' weren't her real parents but felt no need to search for them. She ran away from home and began running interference for a few gangs, always trying to play the middle and come out on top. Her refusal to either be guilded or join a criminal organization led to the Thieves Guild deporting her to the island of [[Surlaenis]].

This forced move was the major turning point in her life. Within fifteen roisaen on the island she had to knife a man who attempted to jump her, and fifteen rois later she was offered a shore gig for a pirate outfit based on [[Hara'jaal]]. The offer was interrupted by two Tribunal Dragoons who recognized one of the pirates and she was escorted to the safety of the Sentinels.

The Moon Mages of the Sentinels took her in and gave her legitimate work yet she was drawn to the underbelly of that tropical paradise. She did personal work for a time, crawling through mountains and jungle to map out as many illegal still and crop locations as possible. She gathered information on who ran the operations and who smuggled the goods off the island before setting up her own meetings with prominent local criminals.

At the age of fifteen Zai assissted a mediator in action and territory disputes between the four main criminal elements based on Surlaenis. The talks were a success to all four parties and to the local government and the mediator trickled small credit down to Zai. Just before her sixteenth birthday she was offered an off the book off the record position with the Surlaenis Moon Mage guild to gather information and carry out small tasks they could not be associated with.

Within a year she petitioned to become a Guilded Moon Mage, and though her superiors agreed she should be accepted they asked that she travel to the mainland to join, where there was more access to training for a young warrior. She didn't need any funding, but when they offered she took it, finding this a perfect chance to cut out on Surlaenis before she got pulled into its affairs any deeper.

==Atazai the Lunar Magician==

Zai was accepted into the Moon Mage guild by Guildleader [[Tiv]] in 392 AV after a long discussion over the various paths a lunar magician can take in life. Tiv gave Zai the names of a few Moon Mages he felt would be good influences for her spirit.

While on Surlaenis she had become accoustomed to periods of extremely bad luck; once in the guild she began exploring writings and theories of luck and Fate. These studies helped lead to the strong faith in Luck, and thus in the Aspect [[Zachriedek]], that she developed.

Though first centered around [[Riverhaven]] she soon began exploring the wilds nearby. After being swept down the Faldesu almost to [[Throne City]] and the inlet she began spending considerable amounts of time swimming. Before she gained her twentieth circle in the guild she was able to swim the [[Faldesu River]] and, with help, the [[Jantspyre River]].

She spent most of her early career traveling the mainland persuing magical and academic studies. During this period she maintained a good reputation in the guild as a straight flyer, having left her criminal ways behind. This lull in her spirit was ended when she met [[Latathi]], a wizard of a somewhat ill-repute for murder and anarchy. After spending a brief time in [[Mer'Kresh]] under his direction she came back to the mainland and began vigorously working her combat skills.

==Atazai the Warrior==

With no immediate desire to live in [[Crossing]] again she accepted a room from Guildleader [[Tiv]] and resisted joining the [[Crystal Hand]]. When her combat training was beginning to lag she then resisted the move to [[Reshalia]] her contemporaries were taking, instead traveling during war-time to [[Hibarnhvidar]] where she did what she could to assist the city against the armies of [[Lyras]].

After the war Zai stuck around the western province renting a room at Momma's Bed and Breakfast by the month and working with local Officials to maintain outbreaks of bucca, imps, and cave trolls. Months passed and the Coon in her guided her to the valley of Vela'tohr and His altar there. At the time there was a problem with the flora and fauna of the area, all affected by a sickly curse, so she honed her battle skills further defoliating blood-vines and maiden's tresses and obliterating cursed dryads and nyads.

During the winter of 395 a cursed clan of ogres descended on Vela'tohr intent on slaughtering everyone they could find. The onslaught was fierce and a strange infection began to spread among the defenders. The main body of defenders had come from [[Hibarnhvidar]] to aid but soon fell back to the city fearing the new disease. A small group led by the Dwarven Cleric [[Vecuto]], which included Zai and the Empath Marssi, gained stealthy access to the depths of the ogre caves and met battle with a [[Bone Elf]], his [[S'kra Mur]] apprentice, and their risen.

Though the Elf was defeated it took a great toll on Vecuto, and they found the apprentice to be a much tougher challenge than the master. Eventually the group took the S'kra woman as prisoner and set off to take her back to Vecuto's Guild in the valley. Marssi had healed the party of all physical ailments and Vecuto had cleared them of ill spiritual affects, yet on the way back to the Guild four members of the group grew fell and set upon the rest slaying half the party in an incensed rage and freeing the tempermental S'kra alchemist who spat curses fled into the wilderness.

==Atazai the Unknown Criminal==

Some months passed as she roamed the western province and when the dreams of the ocean began she felt the time came to leave. A stay in [[Shard]] did not comfort her so she made it very brief before travelling north to [[Crossing]]. As it is to many adventurers, the city was a bad influence on her.

While keeping rogue [[Forest Geni]] and [[atik'et]] populations under control she fell back into the violence and chaos of the street life. Zai joined the Magen Road Gang (an applicant alongside her trusted friend Marssi Darssi who became the Face of the Gang) filling the role of Moderator when there were workable disputes in town, keeping herself out of the illegal side of Gang operations. This gig didn't last too long; the Gang parted ways after [[House Magen]] came under scrutiny for various financial misnomers that surfaced in tax records. No connections to [[House Magen]] and the Magen Street Gang were ever verified, though the Gang seemed to have unlimited funds during their run and many of their criminal members escaped sentencing on charges of murder, racketeering, extortion, and bribery.

The Gang split up, most of the higher profile members moving south of the [[Segoltha River]] while the more common thugs integrated themselves into other [[Crossing]] criminal organizations. Atazai decided instead to move back to [[Qi'Reshalia]]. Her dreams of the ocean had gotten intense, real intense, and the mainland side of the [[Reshal Sea]] was not cutting it.

She arrived back on [[Surlaenis]] for the first time in three years, renting a bungalow on the sea cliffs over looking the Reshal. Finally her dreams settled and she found peace of mind again. The island held part of her past, so she soon found all manner of people coming to her recalling debts and favors from her teenage years. The pestering was fine at first but she was soon waking in foul moods and refusing to leave the remote cliffs. Release from these annoyances came in the form of a formal invitation to meet with certain members of the Council of [[Mer'kresh]].

==Atazai the Known Criminal==

It is assumed she accepted the Council's invitation, as she hired a caretaker for her bungalow and vanished from [[Surlaenis]]. For a few months she was absent from any news of adventure or politics or criminal activity.

The next record of her comes in records of a citizenship change to [[M'riss]] and the purchase of a shack on [[Fever Point]]. This was followed by official announcements that Zai was on the Council's payroll as a tour guide and dive master, leading tourists on excursions across [[Torbis Sanhalas Bay]] and [[Belarritaco Bay]] showcasing the abundant marine and coral life and leading safaris through the jungles of [[M'riss]].

Along with her mundane jobs under the Council she was also voted onto the Board of the Fever Point Home Owner's Association which, though it has known ties to the Council seems to work as an independent criminal outfit that takes up where the Council would (publicly) rather not. Basing herself there on the Point, she made to reconnect with her old mentor Latathi but found he had been afflicted with a strange mental malady, so severe he seemed like a different person. It was fortunate, as she turned to the Warlock [[Asrion]], a former member of the [[Goose Family Crime Syndicate]] for moon mage matters.

A year and a half passed without much incident. Zai kept a low and legal profile, though there were rumors that she and [[Asrion]] were asked by the Council to cease an experiment in the [[Dunes of Despair]] that reports indicate "may have caused massive explosions in the desert that hurled a number of [[Armadillo]] as far as the jungles around the Altanen River". No evidence was accumulated against the two, though the occurrence of several [[Armadillo]] rampaging through the [[Caracal]] and [[Lun'Shele Trekhalo]] jungles is well documented.

Her seat on the FPHOA Board gave Zai an opportunity to improve her reputation with the Council of Mer'kresh without being enmeshed in their inner squabbles and to increase the role [[Fever Point]] played in the [[Qi]] smuggling trade and led to the Council offering her a position with the Kresh Portage. She accepted and began work as a Face for the Portage.

Zai held this position for over a year and her employment consisted primarily of supervising the loading and unloading of legitimate ships, dealing with ship captains, and overseeing cargo checks by the respective Portages. Within that year she began taking off-island contracts in the same capacity, primarily in [[Rivercrossing]], [[Riverhaven]], and [[Ratha]]. Periodically she would be arrested and taken into custody and fed generic questions about smuggling, errors in ledgers and manifests, suspicions of bribery, and details of [[Reshal Sea]] pirate movements.

Sometime in 406 AV she was on duty in [[Rivercrossing]] when two crates containing contraband liquor and herbs were discovered. After an anlas of questioning she was jailed for two weeks before being deported to [[Mer'kresh]]. After a small, private hearing with the Council she was placed on paid suspension and asked to keep a low profile when visiting the mainland.

While on suspension from Council employ Zai took a contract with the [[Enclave]] as a Tourism Agent and began travelling the mainland in an attempt to bring visitors to enjoy the tropical paradise of Hara'jaal. At first she was given a room in [[Var'Quel]] Manor which locked only from the outside and was completely warded from magic use. After proving herself a decently ruthless and reasonably shameless criminal she was allowed to rent a treehouse outside of the [[Enclave]] walls.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

The latter half of year 406 AV was a trying time for Atazai. In [[Mer'kresh]] the [[Allvar]] family began to apply pressure to get her to side
with them in Council matters. The Council itself was constantly calling on her to accept higher roles and more responsibility. But of these situations she resisted, and thus garnered disapproval from the Allvars.

Meanwhile, Baron [[Var'Quel]] sought to turn her completely away from M'riss and bring her into the Black Sash fleet. He threatened to seize her tree-house and her scroll stash in her room at his Manor. She renounced her Rissan citizenship and broke her last contract with the Rissan Council, and it was enough to appease the Baron for a time.

She decided she needed to simplify her life and get back to her roots; exploration of land and sea. The next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

==Atazai Coffins: Of Coons and Reefs==

In the year 410, After Victory, Atazai made minor news by purchasing the surname Coffins. The purchase created a minor stir on the mainland, as the name was purchased from the family's patriarch Hackett Coffins, husband of the infamous Gravelord [[Zerreck]] Arkarm of the [[Arkarm Crime Family]]. Details of the price paid have not been released but it has been rumored to have included a number of items or artifacts Zai recovered from the ocean waters near [[M'riss]] and [[Hara'Jaal]].

Shortly after she acquired her new surname word began spreading that she had offered herself up as a sacrifice to [[Zachriedek]], God of ill-fortune and bad luck. It wasn't long before she began mingling again with the normal populations on the mainland, especially in the town of [[Riverhaven]], and made the claim that she was a Chosen Prophet of [[Zachriedek]]. Her claims have been accepted by numerous Clerics and Paladins.

The full extent of her relationship with the [[Var'Quel]]'s, the Black Sash, and Hara'Jaal are still matters of some speculation, but it has become well known that she acts as an unofficial ecologist. In this capacity Zai monitors and protects the inshore waters, the beaches and near-shore waters and reefs, and the reefs along the deep water boundary where the continental shelf falls away to the oceanic abyss.

==Atazai: Still a Moon Magess==

Atazai was chosen to be the official Representative of the [[Progeny of Tezirah]] for the [[Moon Mage Conclaves]] of 412. She participated in the group prediction that resulted in dark visions and an attack of shadow creatures that included an as yet unknown [[Shadowy Umbral Colossus]]. She survived the Conclave and the attack.

Experiences at that Conclave effected a change in her personal philosophies and she soon announced that she was retiring from petty spars, scraps, skirmishes, and tussles to focus on her environmental and cosmological research. The shadows and secrets in and around her life, up til then, had been explored and cataloged. She had reached Guild Transcendence. She had braided the vines and piled the rocks. It had come time to figure out the natures of things.

==Reshal Wedding==

Some time in the winter of 412-413 Atazai began feeling compulsions to swim out into the [[Reshal Sea]], miles from land, and just... drift.

Her first trip began in [[Tyvager Bay]] on a slack high tide. [[Corsairs]] of the [[Enclave]] reported that they saw her lay backside-down, closed her eyes, and ride the Reshal tide out to sea. Once more she vanished from Kermorian records and accounts, save for a story told by the captain and crew of a [[House Dne]] merchant ship off the south coast of [[Surlaenis'a]] that tells of the body of an [[Elothean]] woman clad in vestments of the sea and encircled by clouds of microscopic bio-luminescent creatures floating nearby on a windless night. A dinghy was deployed to collect the body but as the sailors rowed close they claim the woman's head, crowned in coral and seaweed, turn to them and smiled before sinking slowly into the depths with a lingering glow.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

The latter half of year 406 AV was a trying time for Atazai. In [[Mer'kresh]] the [[Allvar]] family began to apply pressure to get her to side
with them in Council matters. The Council itself was constantly calling on her to accept higher roles and more responsibility. But of these situations she resisted, and thus garnered disapproval from the Allvars.

Meanwhile, Baron [[Var'Quel]] sought to turn her completely away from M'riss and bring her into the Black Sash fleet.

Details of the price paid have not been released but it has been rumored to have included a number of items or artifacts Zai recovered from the ocean waters near [[M'riss]] and [[Hara'Jaal]].

Shortly after she acquired her new surname word began spreading that she had offered herself up as a sacrifice to [[Zachriedek]], God of ill-fortune and bad luck. It wasn't long before she began mingling again with the normal populations on the mainland, especially in the town of [[Riverhaven]], and made the claim that she was a Chosen Prophet of [[Zachriedek]]. Her claims have been accepted by numerous Clerics and Paladins.

The full extent of her relationship with the [[Var'Quel]]'s, the Black Sash, and Hara'Jaal are still matters of some speculation, but it has become well known that she acts as an unofficial ecologist. In this capacity Zai monitors and protects the inshore waters, the beaches and near-shore waters and reefs, and the reefs along the deep water boundary where the continental shelf falls away to the oceanic abyss.

==Atazai: Still a Moon Magess==

Atazai was chosen to be the official Representative of the [[Progeny of Tezirah]] for the [[Moon Mage Conclaves]] of 412. She participated in the group prediction that resulted in dark visions and an attack of shadow creatures that included an as yet unknown [[Shadowy Umbral Colossus]]. She survived the Conclave and the attack.

Experiences at that Conclave effected a change in her personal philosophies and she soon announced that she was retiring from petty spars, scraps, skirmishes, and tussles to focus on her environmental and cosmological research. The shadows and secrets in and around her life, up til then, had been explored and cataloged. She had reached Guild Transcendence. She had braided the vines and piled the rocks. It had come time to figure out the natures of things.

==Early Life==

Zai was born somewhere near [[Steelclaw Clan]], north of [[Shard]]. Upon seeing her pale, almost translucent eyes and deep black hair the Midwife called for the baby to be killed immediately. Her parents agreed but could not find the will to kill the infant outright, instead abandoning it deep in the fallow fields east of Shard.

Her own memories start when she was four and believed the couple raising her in the Middens were her parents. Her 'mother' was a custodian to a minor Rivercrossing importer while her 'father' cleaned horse stalls for a prominent Horse Care company. These two professions put her in contact with a wide array of people and influences, chief among which was a Gor'tog thief named Uskul who became a patron of hers. Uskul visited Crossing at least once a month to buy and sell horses and to relay information on caravan schedules, manifests, rosters, and routes to his guild.

Uskul funded the private education of a number of Middens children in an attempt to cull future leaders of the district. By age thirteen Zai figured out her 'parents' weren't her real parents but felt no need to search for them. She ran away from home and began running interference for a few gangs, always trying to play the middle and come out on top. Her refusal to either be guilded or join a criminal organization led to the Thieves Guild deporting her to the island of [[Surlaenis]].

This forced move was the major turning point in her life. Within fifteen roisaen on the island she had to knife a man who attempted to jump her, and fifteen rois later she was offered a shore gig for a pirate outfit based on [[Hara'jaal]]. The offer was interrupted by two Tribunal Dragoons who recognized one of the pirates and she was escorted to the safety of the Sentinels.

The Moon Mages of the Sentinels took her in and gave her legitimate work yet she was drawn to the underbelly of that tropical paradise. She did personal work for a time, crawling through mountains and jungle to map out as many illegal still and crop locations as possible. She gathered information on who ran the operations and who smuggled the goods off the island before setting up her own meetings with prominent local criminals.

At the age of fifteen Zai assissted a mediator in action and territory disputes between the four main criminal elements based on Surlaenis. The talks were a success to all four parties and to the local government and the mediator trickled small credit down to Zai. Just before her sixteenth birthday she was offered an off the book off the record position with the Surlaenis Moon Mage guild to gather information and carry out small tasks they could not be associated with.

Within a year she petitioned to become a Guilded Moon Mage, and though her superiors agreed she should be accepted they asked that she travel to the mainland to join, where there was more access to training for a young warrior. She didn't need any funding, but when they offered she took it, finding this a perfect chance to cut out on Surlaenis before she got pulled into its affairs any deeper.

==Atazai the Lunar Magician==

Zai was accepted into the Moon Mage guild by Guildleader [[Tiv]] in 392 AV after a long discussion over the various paths a lunar magician can take in life. Tiv gave Zai the names of a few Moon Mages he felt would be good influences for her spirit.

While on Surlaenis she had become accoustomed to periods of extremely bad luck; once in the guild she began exploring writings and theories of luck and Fate. These studies helped lead to the strong faith in Luck, and thus in the Aspect [[Zachriedek]], that she developed.

Though first centered around [[Riverhaven]] she soon began exploring the wilds nearby. After being swept down the Faldesu almost to [[Throne City]] and the inlet she began spending considerable amounts of time swimming. Before she gained her twentieth circle in the guild she was able to swim the [[Faldesu River]] and, with help, the [[Jantspyre River]].

She spent most of her early career traveling the mainland persuing magical and academic studies. During this period she maintained a good reputation in the guild as a straight flyer, having left her criminal ways behind. This lull in her spirit was ended when she met [[Latathi]], a wizard of a somewhat ill-repute for murder and anarchy. After spending a brief time in [[Mer'Kresh]] under his direction she came back to the mainland and began vigorously working her combat skills.

==Atazai the Warrior==

With no immediate desire to live in [[Crossing]] again she accepted a room from Guildleader [[Tiv]] and resisted joining the [[Crystal Hand]]. When her combat training was beginning to lag she then resisted the move to [[Reshalia]] her contemporaries were taking, instead traveling during war-time to [[Hibarnhvidar]] where she did what she could to assist the city against the armies of [[Lyras]].

After the war Zai stuck around the western province renting a room at Momma's Bed and Breakfast by the month and working with local Officials to maintain outbreaks of bucca, imps, and cave trolls. Months passed and the Coon in her guided her to the valley of Vela'tohr and His altar there. At the time there was a problem with the flora and fauna of the area, all affected by a sickly curse, so she honed her battle skills further defoliating blood-vines and maiden's tresses and obliterating cursed dryads and nyads.

During the winter of 395 a cursed clan of ogres descended on Vela'tohr intent on slaughtering everyone they could find. The onslaught was fierce and a strange infection began to spread among the defenders. The main body of defenders had come from [[Hibarnhvidar]] to aid but soon fell back to the city fearing the new disease. A small group led by the Dwarven Cleric [[Vecuto]], which included Zai and the Empath Marssi, gained stealthy access to the depths of the ogre caves and met battle with a [[Bone Elf]], his [[S'kra Mur]] apprentice, and their risen.

Though the Elf was defeated it took a great toll on Vecuto, and they found the apprentice to be a much tougher challenge than the master. Eventually the group took the S'kra woman as prisoner and set off to take her back to Vecuto's Guild in the valley. Marssi had healed the party of all physical ailments and Vecuto had cleared them of ill spiritual affects, yet on the way back to the Guild four members of the group grew fell and set upon the rest slaying half the party in an incensed rage and freeing the tempermental S'kra alchemist who spat curses fled into the wilderness.

==Atazai the Unknown Criminal==

Some months passed as she roamed the western province and when the dreams of the ocean began she felt the time came to leave. A stay in [[Shard]] did not comfort her so she made it very brief before travelling north to [[Crossing]]. As it is to many adventurers, the city was a bad influence on her.

While keeping rogue [[Forest Geni]] and [[atik'et]] populations under control she fell back into the violence and chaos of the street life. Zai joined the Magen Road Gang (an applicant alongside her trusted friend Marssi Darssi who became the Face of the Gang) filling the role of Moderator when there were workable disputes in town, keeping herself out of the illegal side of Gang operations. This gig didn't last too long; the Gang parted ways after [[House Magen]] came under scrutiny for various financial misnomers that surfaced in tax records. No connections to [[House Magen]] and the Magen Street Gang were ever verified, though the Gang seemed to have unlimited funds during their run and many of their criminal members escaped sentencing on charges of murder, racketeering, extortion, and bribery.

The Gang split up, most of the higher profile members moving south of the [[Segoltha River]] while the more common thugs integrated themselves into other [[Crossing]] criminal organizations. Atazai decided instead to move back to [[Qi'Reshalia]]. Her dreams of the ocean had gotten intense, real intense, and the mainland side of the [[Reshal Sea]] was not cutting it.

She arrived back on [[Surlaenis]] for the first time in three years, renting a bungalow on the sea cliffs over looking the Reshal. Finally her dreams settled and she found peace of mind again. The island held part of her past, so she soon found all manner of people coming to her recalling debts and favors from her teenage years. The pestering was fine at first but she was soon waking in foul moods and refusing to leave the remote cliffs. Release from these annoyances came in the form of a formal invitation to meet with certain members of the Council of [[Mer'kresh]].

==Atazai the Known Criminal==

It is assumed she accepted the Council's invitation, as she hired a caretaker for her bungalow and vanished from [[Surlaenis]]. For a few months she was absent from any news of adventure or politics or criminal activity.

The next record of her comes in records of a citizenship change to [[M'riss]] and the purchase of a shack on [[Fever Point]]. This was followed by official announcements that Zai was on the Council's payroll as a tour guide and dive master, leading tourists on excursions across [[Torbis Sanhalas Bay]] and [[Belarritaco Bay]] showcasing the abundant marine and coral life and leading safaris through the jungles of [[M'riss]].

Along with her mundane jobs under the Council she was also voted onto the Board of the Fever Point Home Owner's Association which, though it has known ties to the Council seems to work as an independent criminal outfit that takes up where the Council would (publicly) rather not. Basing herself there on the Point, she made to reconnect with her old mentor Latathi but found he had been afflicted with a strange mental malady, so severe he seemed like a different person. It was fortunate, as she turned to the Warlock [[Asrion]], a former member of the [[Goose Family Crime Syndicate]] for moon mage matters.

A year and a half passed without much incident. Zai kept a low and legal profile, though there were rumors that she and [[Asrion]] were asked by the Council to cease an experiment in the [[Dunes of Despair]] that reports indicate "may have caused massive explosions in the desert that hurled a number of [[Armadillo]] as far as the jungles around the Altanen River". No evidence was accumulated against the two, though the occurrence of several [[Armadillo]] rampaging through the [[Caracal]] and [[Lun'Shele Trekhalo]] jungles is well documented.

Her seat on the FPHOA Board gave Zai an opportunity to improve her reputation with the Council of Mer'kresh without being enmeshed in their inner squabbles and to increase the role [[Fever Point]] played in the [[Qi]] smuggling trade and led to the Council offering her a position with the Kresh Portage. She accepted and began work as a Face for the Portage.

Zai held this position for over a year and her employment consisted primarily of supervising the loading and unloading of legitimate ships, dealing with ship captains, and overseeing cargo checks by the respective Portages. Within that year she began taking off-island contracts in the same capacity, primarily in [[Rivercrossing]], [[Riverhaven]], and [[Ratha]]. Periodically she would be arrested and taken into custody and fed generic questions about smuggling, errors in ledgers and manifests, suspicions of bribery, and details of [[Reshal Sea]] pirate movements.

Sometime in 406 AV she was on duty in [[Rivercrossing]] when two crates containing contraband liquor and herbs were discovered. After an anlas of questioning she was jailed for two weeks before being deported to [[Mer'kresh]]. After a small, private hearing with the Council she was placed on paid suspension and asked to keep a low profile when visiting the mainland.

While on suspension from Council employ Zai took a contract with the [[Enclave]] as a Tourism Agent and began travelling the mainland in an attempt to bring visitors to enjoy the tropical paradise of Hara'jaal. At first she was given a room in [[Var'Quel]] Manor which locked only from the outside and was completely warded from magic use. After proving herself a decently ruthless and reasonably shameless criminal she was allowed to rent a treehouse outside of the [[Enclave]] walls.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

The latter half of year 406 AV was a trying time for Atazai. In [[Mer'kresh]] the [[Allvar]] family began to apply pressure to get her to side
with them in Council matters. The Council itself was constantly calling on her to accept higher roles and more responsibility. But of these situations she resisted, and thus garnered disapproval from the Allvars.

Meanwhile, Baron [[Var'Quel]] sought to turn her completely away from M'riss and bring her into the Black Sash fleet. He threatened to seize her tree-house and her scroll stash in her room at his Manor. She renounced her Rissan citizenship and broke her last contract with the Rissan Council, and it was enough to appease the Baron for a time.

She decided she needed to simplify her life and get back to her roots; exploration of land and sea. The next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

==Atazai Coffins: Of Coons and Reefs==

In the year 410, After Victory, Atazai made minor news by purchasing the surname Coffins. The purchase created a minor stir on the mainland, as the name was purchased from the family's patriarch Hackett Coffins, husband of the infamous Gravelord [[Zerreck]] Arkarm of the [[Arkarm Crime Family]]. Details of the price paid have not been released but it has been rumored to have included a number of items or artifacts Zai recovered from the ocean waters near [[M'riss]] and [[Hara'Jaal]].

Shortly after she acquired her new surname word began spreading that she had offered herself up as a sacrifice to [[Zachriedek]], God of ill-fortune and bad luck. It wasn't long before she began mingling again with the normal populations on the mainland, especially in the town of [[Riverhaven]], and made the claim that she was a Chosen Prophet of [[Zachriedek]]. Her claims have been accepted by numerous Clerics and Paladins.

The full extent of her relationship with the [[Var'Quel]]'s, the Black Sash, and Hara'Jaal are still matters of some speculation, but it has become well known that she acts as an unofficial ecologist. In this capacity Zai monitors and protects the inshore waters, the beaches and near-shore waters and reefs, and the reefs along the deep water boundary where the continental shelf falls away to the oceanic abyss.

==Description==
The starcrasher resembles an unfortunate cross between a ten-legged arachnid and a colorful starfish, though it moves like neither. Its integument looks fibrous and prismatic, coaxing your eyes to slide off every time they try to get a fix.

==Recall==
Native to the [[Plane of Probability]], the starcrashers and [[Starlight harbinger|starlight harbingers]] are lesser incarnations of physics. Like most interlopers from that plane, their usual method of interaction is violent and inexplicably hostile. You have heard of such creatures occasionally keeping company with [[Traders]] and [[Moon Mages]]. Despite its expected hostility, this particular starcrasher's maddened behavior is quite extraordinary, almost... Elanthian in a way. You think it may be susceptible to forbidden [[Teleologic Sorcery]].

They are known to cast [[Telekinetic Storm]], [[Moongate]], and [[Starcrash]].

==Notes==
* 'Maddened' starcrashers must be [[Uncurse|uncursed]] before mundane weapons or spells will work against them. High sorcery spells will still be effective, even against the maddened.

* They're currently considered constructs for empaths using mundane weapons, but this is a bug that will be fixed.

* Empaths can manipulate them, but they will not attack each other.

* Only drops ores as nuggets or bars

* Will madden, which makes them immune to all attacks except some high sorcery spells. Must be uncursed to be attackable again.

* Will spawn invisible. No problem seeing them with 270 perception.

==Messaging==
* A tiny starcrasher spins violently, swinging its legs from side to side!

* A tiny starcrasher bends its legs into an angular, arcane gesture.
* Bright points with luminous tails are strewn across the evening sky, falling.

* Bruised probability about a tiny maddened starcrasher causes your spell pattern to cease being a pattern, devoid of meaning and power.

* Your sorcery exploits the bruised probability and threads every corner of the maddened starcrasher's being with your iron will.

* A tiny starcrasher decomposes into indistinct contours that become part of the environment.

BORGHEST2: /* Some sea-green plate armor masterfully engraved with an underwater battle scene */

Unique items owned by [[Atazai]] Coffins.

==A shimmery diving robe of watersilk==

Tinted to an aesthetically pleasing shade of aquamarine, the fabric of the robe drapes languidly over the wearer's form. Cunningly tailored to fit close to the body, the garment's length and construction allows for unhindered movement whether on land or under water. Small, neat stitching in black thread adorns the hemlines, contrasting the fabric elegantly. Tacked into the neckline, a gremlin appears with intricate contours done in shadow embroidery.

* Gift from a branch of the Allvar family operations, given for five years of service.

==A dive master's scythe with a thin glaes blade==

The haft of the weapon is carved from a single piece of water-aged cypress, while the narrow glaes blade is strangely curved and etched with a plethora of grooves and channels to allow it to slice unhindered through water. The haft is engraved with an entwined motif of swimming selkies and merrows, which stand out brightly from the salt-stained backdrop. Faint lettering is etched into the wood near the blade.
There appears to be something written on it.

A dive master's scythe reads:
"I cut through the depths."

* Gift from the Riverhaven Portage, given as a birthday present.

==Some sea-green plate armor masterfully engraved with an underwater battle scene==

An epic battle is engraved in sections across the entirety of the armor. Selkies and merrow writhe and grapple up each greave and cuisse. Drowned corpses claw and bite at frenzied sharks on the vambraces. A pod of Reshal porpoise engage a marauding group of giant squid across the cuirass. Two patient mantis shrimp stalk a huge stone crab across the backplate.

* Gift from the Black Sash Fleet, given for 15 years of bumming around [[Hara'jaal]].

==A haralun medallion shaped like a tentacled mass surrounding a bloodmist garnet eye==

A lone bloodmist garnet gleams like a bloody eye at the center of countless haralun tentacles that are crafted to appear as if in motion when light plays across it.
There appears to be something written on it.

A haralun medallion reads:
"There is no light in the deepest of depths."

* Gift from the Moon Mage Guild, given for representing the Progeny of Tezirah at the Moon Mage Conclave of 412.

==A highly adjustable stargazer's sling chair==

Supple gloomwood branches form the collapsible frame for the chair. Lengths of braided river grass serve to bind the wood together while strips of compressed kelp form a tight netting that comprises the combined back and seat. Almost hidden from view is a complex network of levers that allow the chair to be adjusted or folded.

* Gift from the Moon Mage Guild, given for representing the Progeny of Tezirah at the Moon Mage Conclave of 412.

==An enflowered silk sarong==

The multilayered flowers have been preserved and cunningly imbedded into the fabric of the sarong. White water lilies, crimson sharktooth blossoms, and green orchids comprise the bulk of the colors and are interspersed with prime examples of king protea and aldam lorma blossoms, deep purple phofe flowers, bright red jungle lilies, and vibrant dolphin flowers. A Taisidon sunset garnet is set to clasp the material at the base of the wearer's neck, while two seastar tourmalines secure it at the left hip.

* Gift from Lilidona Kersharin, given for becoming her highest paying customer.

Lengths of braided river grass serve to bind the wood together while strips of compressed kelp form a tight netting that comprises the combined back and seat. Almost hidden from view is a complex network of levers that allow the chair to be adjusted or folded.

* Gift from the Moon Mage Guild, given for representing the Progeny of Tezirah at the Moon Mage Conclave of 412.

The multilayered flowers have been preserved and cunningly imbedded into the fabric of the sarong. White water lilies, crimson sharktooth blossoms, and green orchids comprise the bulk of the colors and are interspersed with prime examples of king protea and aldam lorma blossoms, deep purple phofe flowers, bright red jungle lilies, and vibrant dolphin flowers. A Taisidon sunset garnet is set to clasp the material at the base of the wearer's neck, while two seastar tourmalines secure it at the left hip.

* Gift from Lilidona Kersharin, given for becoming her highest paying customer.

BORGHEST2: /* A shimmery diving robe of watersilk */

Unique items owned by [[Atazai]] Coffins.

==A shimmery diving robe of watersilk==

Tinted to an aesthetically pleasing shade of aquamarine, the fabric of the robe drapes languidly over the wearer's form. Cunningly tailored to fit close to the body, the garment's length and construction allows for unhindered movement whether on land or under water. Small, neat stitching in black thread adorns the hemlines, contrasting the fabric elegantly. Tacked into the neckline, a gremlin appears with intricate contours done in shadow embroidery.

* Gift from a branch of the Allvar family operations, given for five years of service.

==A dive master's scythe with a thin glaes blade==

The haft of the weapon is carved from a single piece of water-aged cypress, while the narrow glaes blade is strangely curved and etched with a plethora of grooves and channels to allow it to slice unhindered through water. The haft is engraved with an entwined motif of swimming selkies and merrows, which stand out brightly from the salt-stained backdrop. Faint lettering is etched into the wood near the blade.
There appears to be something written on it.

A dive master's scythe reads:
"I cut through the depths."

* Gift from [[Daralaendra]] Suanealaena, given as a birthday present.

==Some sea-green plate armor masterfully engraved with an underwater battle scene==

An epic battle is engraved in sections across the entirety of the armor. Selkies and merrow writhe and grapple up each greave and cuisse. Drowned corpses claw and bite at frenzied sharks on the vambraces. A pod of Reshal porpoise engage a marauding group of giant squid across the cuirass. Two patient mantis shrimp stalk a huge stone crab across the backplate.

* Gift from the Black Sash Fleet, given for 15 years in the service of [[Hara'jaal]].

==A haralun medallion shaped like a tentacled mass surrounding a bloodmist garnet eye==

A lone bloodmist garnet gleams like a bloody eye at the center of countless haralun tentacles that are crafted to appear as if in motion when light plays across it.
There appears to be something written on it.

A haralun medallion reads:
"There is no light in the deepest of depths."

* Gift from the Moon Mage Guild, given for representing the Progeny of Tezirah at the Moon Mage Conclave of 412.

==Early Life==

Zai was born somewhere near [[Steelclaw Clan]], north of [[Shard]]. Upon seeing her pale, almost translucent eyes and deep black hair the Midwife called for the baby to be killed immediately. Her parents agreed but could not find the will to kill the infant outright, instead abandoning it deep in the fallow fields east of Shard.

Her own memories start when she was four and believed the couple raising her in the Middens were her parents. Her 'mother' was a custodian to a minor Rivercrossing importer while her 'father' cleaned horse stalls for a prominent Horse Care company. These two professions put her in contact with a wide array of people and influences, chief among which was a Gor'tog thief named Uskul who became a patron of hers. Uskul visited Crossing at least once a month to buy and sell horses and to relay information on caravan schedules, manifests, rosters, and routes to his guild.

Uskul funded the private education of a number of Middens children in an attempt to cull future leaders of the district. By age thirteen Zai figured out her 'parents' weren't her real parents but felt no need to search for them. She ran away from home and began running interference for a few gangs, always trying to play the middle and come out on top. Her refusal to either be guilded or join a criminal organization led to the Thieves Guild deporting her to the island of [[Surlaenis]].

This forced move was the major turning point in her life. Within fifteen roisaen on the island she had to knife a man who attempted to jump her, and fifteen rois later she was offered a shore gig for a pirate outfit based on [[Hara'jaal]]. The offer was interrupted by two Tribunal Dragoons who recognized one of the pirates and she was escorted to the safety of the Sentinels.

The Moon Mages of the Sentinels took her in and gave her legitimate work yet she was drawn to the underbelly of that tropical paradise. She did personal work for a time, crawling through mountains and jungle to map out as many illegal still and crop locations as possible. She gathered information on who ran the operations and who smuggled the goods off the island before setting up her own meetings with prominent local criminals.

At the age of fifteen Zai assissted a mediator in action and territory disputes between the four main criminal elements based on Surlaenis. The talks were a success to all four parties and to the local government and the mediator trickled small credit down to Zai. Just before her sixteenth birthday she was offered an off the book off the record position with the Surlaenis Moon Mage guild to gather information and carry out small tasks they could not be associated with.

Within a year she petitioned to become a Guilded Moon Mage, and though her superiors agreed she should be accepted they asked that she travel to the mainland to join, where there was more access to training for a young warrior. She didn't need any funding, but when they offered she took it, finding this a perfect chance to cut out on Surlaenis before she got pulled into its affairs any deeper.

==Atazai the Lunar Magician==

Zai was accepted into the Moon Mage guild by Guildleader [[Tiv]] in 392 AV after a long discussion over the various paths a lunar magician can take in life. Tiv gave Zai the names of a few Moon Mages he felt would be good influences for her spirit.

While on Surlaenis she had become accoustomed to periods of extremely bad luck; once in the guild she began exploring writings and theories of luck and Fate. These studies helped lead to the strong faith in Luck, and thus in the Aspect [[Zachriedek]], that she developed.

Though first centered around [[Riverhaven]] she soon began exploring the wilds nearby. After being swept down the Faldesu almost to [[Throne City]] and the inlet she began spending considerable amounts of time swimming. Before she gained her twentieth circle in the guild she was able to swim the [[Faldesu River]] and, with help, the [[Jantspyre River]].

She spent most of her early career traveling the mainland persuing magical and academic studies. During this period she maintained a good reputation in the guild as a straight flyer, having left her criminal ways behind. This lull in her spirit was ended when she met [[Latathi]], a wizard of a somewhat ill-repute for murder and anarchy. After spending a brief time in [[Mer'Kresh]] under his direction she came back to the mainland and began vigorously working her combat skills.

==Atazai the Warrior==

With no immediate desire to live in [[Crossing]] again she accepted a room from Guildleader [[Tiv]] and resisted joining the [[Crystal Hand]]. When her combat training was beginning to lag she then resisted the move to [[Reshalia]] her contemporaries were taking, instead traveling during war-time to [[Hibarnhvidar]] where she did what she could to assist the city against the armies of [[Lyras]].

After the war Zai stuck around the western province renting a room at Momma's Bed and Breakfast by the month and working with local Officials to maintain outbreaks of bucca, imps, and cave trolls. Months passed and the Coon in her guided her to the valley of Vela'tohr and His altar there. At the time there was a problem with the flora and fauna of the area, all affected by a sickly curse, so she honed her battle skills further defoliating blood-vines and maiden's tresses and obliterating cursed dryads and nyads.

During the winter of 395 a cursed clan of ogres descended on Vela'tohr intent on slaughtering everyone they could find. The onslaught was fierce and a strange infection began to spread among the defenders. The main body of defenders had come from [[Hibarnhvidar]] to aid but soon fell back to the city fearing the new disease. A small group led by the Dwarven Cleric [[Vecuto]], which included Zai and the Empath Marssi, gained stealthy access to the depths of the ogre caves and met battle with a [[Bone Elf]], his [[S'kra Mur]] apprentice, and their risen.

Though the Elf was defeated it took a great toll on Vecuto, and they found the apprentice to be a much tougher challenge than the master. Eventually the group took the S'kra woman as prisoner and set off to take her back to Vecuto's Guild in the valley. Marssi had healed the party of all physical ailments and Vecuto had cleared them of ill spiritual affects, yet on the way back to the Guild four members of the group grew fell and set upon the rest slaying half the party in an incensed rage and freeing the tempermental S'kra alchemist who spat curses fled into the wilderness.

==Atazai the Unknown Criminal==

Some months passed as she roamed the western province and when the dreams of the ocean began she felt the time came to leave. A stay in [[Shard]] did not comfort her so she made it very brief before travelling north to [[Crossing]]. As it is to many adventurers, the city was a bad influence on her.

While keeping rogue [[Forest Geni]] and [[atik'et]] populations under control she fell back into the violence and chaos of the street life. Zai joined the Magen Road Gang (an applicant alongside her trusted friend Marssi Darssi who became the Face of the Gang) filling the role of Moderator when there were workable disputes in town, keeping herself out of the illegal side of Gang operations. This gig didn't last too long; the Gang parted ways after [[House Magen]] came under scrutiny for various financial misnomers that surfaced in tax records. No connections to [[House Magen]] and the Magen Street Gang were ever verified, though the Gang seemed to have unlimited funds during their run and many of their criminal members escaped sentencing on charges of murder, racketeering, extortion, and bribery.

The Gang split up, most of the higher profile members moving south of the [[Segoltha River]] while the more common thugs integrated themselves into other [[Crossing]] criminal organizations. Atazai decided instead to move back to [[Qi'Reshalia]]. Her dreams of the ocean had gotten intense, real intense, and the mainland side of the [[Reshal Sea]] was not cutting it.

She arrived back on [[Surlaenis]] for the first time in three years, renting a bungalow on the sea cliffs over looking the Reshal. Finally her dreams settled and she found peace of mind again. The island held part of her past, so she soon found all manner of people coming to her recalling debts and favors from her teenage years. The pestering was fine at first but she was soon waking in foul moods and refusing to leave the remote cliffs. Release from these annoyances came in the form of a formal invitation to meet with certain members of the Council of [[Mer'kresh]].

==Atazai the Known Criminal==

It is assumed she accepted the Council's invitation, as she hired a caretaker for her bungalow and vanished from [[Surlaenis]]. For a few months she was absent from any news of adventure or politics or criminal activity.

The next record of her comes in records of a citizenship change to [[M'riss]] and the purchase of a shack on [[Fever Point]]. This was followed by official announcements that Zai was on the Council's payroll as a tour guide and dive master, leading tourists on excursions across [[Torbis Sanhalas Bay]] and [[Belarritaco Bay]] showcasing the abundant marine and coral life and leading safaris through the jungles of [[M'riss]].

Along with her mundane jobs under the Council she was also voted onto the Board of the Fever Point Home Owner's Association which, though it has known ties to the Council seems to work as an independent criminal outfit that takes up where the Council would (publicly) rather not. Basing herself there on the Point, she made to reconnect with her old mentor Latathi but found he had been afflicted with a strange mental malady, so severe he seemed like a different person. It was fortunate, as she turned to the Warlock [[Asrion]], a former member of the [[Goose Family Crime Syndicate]] for moon mage matters.

A year and a half passed without much incident. Zai kept a low and legal profile, though there were rumors that she and [[Asrion]] were asked by the Council to cease an experiment in the [[Dunes of Despair]] that reports indicate "may have caused massive explosions in the desert that hurled a number of [[Armadillo]] as far as the jungles around the Altanen River". No evidence was accumulated against the two, though the occurrence of several [[Armadillo]] rampaging through the [[Caracal]] and [[Lun'Shele Trekhalo]] jungles is well documented.

Her seat on the FPHOA Board gave Zai an opportunity to improve her reputation with the Council of Mer'kresh without being enmeshed in their inner squabbles and to increase the role [[Fever Point]] played in the [[Qi]] smuggling trade and led to the Council offering her a position with the Kresh Portage. She accepted and began work as a Face for the Portage.

Zai held this position for over a year and her employment consisted primarily of supervising the loading and unloading of legitimate ships, dealing with ship captains, and overseeing cargo checks by the respective Portages. Within that year she began taking off-island contracts in the same capacity, primarily in [[Rivercrossing]], [[Riverhaven]], and [[Ratha]]. Periodically she would be arrested and taken into custody and fed generic questions about smuggling, errors in ledgers and manifests, suspicions of bribery, and details of [[Reshal Sea]] pirate movements.

Sometime in 406 AV she was on duty in [[Rivercrossing]] when two crates containing contraband liquor and herbs were discovered. After an anlas of questioning she was jailed for two weeks before being deported to [[Mer'kresh]]. After a small, private hearing with the Council she was placed on paid suspension and asked to keep a low profile when visiting the mainland.

While on suspension from Council employ Zai took a contract with the [[Enclave]] as a Tourism Agent and began travelling the mainland in an attempt to bring visitors to enjoy the tropical paradise of Hara'jaal. At first she was given a room in [[Var'Quel]] Manor which locked only from the outside and was completely warded from magic use. After proving herself a decently ruthless and reasonably shameless criminal she was allowed to rent a treehouse outside of the [[Enclave]] walls.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

The latter half of year 406 AV was a trying time for Atazai. In [[Mer'kresh]] the [[Allvar]] family began to apply pressure to get her to side
with them in Council matters. The Council itself was constantly calling on her to accept higher roles and more responsibility. But of these situations she resisted, and thus garnered disapproval from the Allvars.

Meanwhile, Baron [[Var'Quel]] sought to turn her completely away from M'riss and bring her into the Black Sash fleet. He threatened to seize her tree-house and her scroll stash in her room at his Manor. She renounced her Rissan citizenship and broke her last contract with the Rissan Council, and it was enough to appease the Baron for a time.

She decided she needed to simplify her life and get back to her roots; exploration of land and sea. The next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

==Atazai Coffins: Of Coons and Reefs==

In the year 410, After Victory, Atazai made minor news by purchasing the surname Coffins. The purchase created a minor stir on the mainland, as the name was purchased from the family's patriarch Hackett Coffins, husband of the infamous Gravelord [[Zerreck]] Arkarm of the [[Arkarm Crime Family]]. Details of the price paid have not been released but it has been rumored to have included a number of items or artifacts Zai recovered from the ocean waters near [[M'riss]] and [[Hara'Jaal]].

Shortly after she acquired her new surname word began spreading that she had offered herself up as a sacrifice to [[Zachriedek]], God of ill-fortune and bad luck. It wasn't long before she began mingling again with the normal populations on the mainland, especially in the town of [[Riverhaven]], and made the claim that she was a Chosen Prophet of [[Zachriedek]]. Her claims have been accepted by numerous Clerics and Paladins.

The full extent of her relationship with the [[Var'Quel]]'s, the Black Sash, and Hara'Jaal are still matters of some speculation, but it has become well known that she acts as an unofficial ecologist. In this capacity Zai monitors and protects the inshore waters, the beaches and near-shore waters and reefs, and the reefs along the deep water boundary where the continental shelf falls away to the oceanic abyss.

==Atazai: Still a Moon Magess==

Atazai was chosen to be the official Representative of the [[Progeny of Tezirah]] for the [[Moon Mage Conclaves]] of 412. She participated in the group prediction that resulted in dark visions and an attack of shadow creatures that included an as yet unknown [[Shadowy Umbral Colossus]]. She survived the Conclave and the attack.

Within that year she began taking off-island contracts in the same capacity, primarily in [[Rivercrossing]], [[Riverhaven]], and [[Ratha]]. Periodically she would be arrested and taken into custody and fed generic questions about smuggling, errors in ledgers and manifests, suspicions of bribery, and details of [[Reshal Sea]] pirate movements.

Sometime in 406 AV she was on duty in [[Rivercrossing]] when two crates containing contraband liquor and herbs were discovered. After an anlas of questioning she was jailed for two weeks before being deported to [[Mer'kresh]]. After a small, private hearing with the Council she was placed on paid suspension and asked to keep a low profile when visiting the mainland.

While on suspension from Council employ Zai took a contract with the [[Enclave]] as a Tourism Agent and began travelling the mainland in an attempt to bring visitors to enjoy the tropical paradise of Hara'jaal. At first she was given a room in [[Var'Quel]] Manor which locked only from the outside and was completely warded from magic use. After proving herself a decently ruthless and reasonably shameless criminal she was allowed to rent a treehouse outside of the [[Enclave]] walls.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

The latter half of year 406 AV was a trying time for Atazai. In [[Mer'kresh]] the [[Allvar]] family began to apply pressure to get her to side
with them in Council matters. The Council itself was constantly calling on her to accept higher roles and more responsibility. But of these situations she resisted, and thus garnered disapproval from the Allvars.

Meanwhile, Baron [[Var'Quel]] sought to turn her completely away from M'riss and bring her into the Black Sash fleet. He threatened to seize her tree-house and her scroll stash in her room at his Manor. She renounced her Rissan citizenship and broke her last contract with the Rissan Council, and it was enough to appease the Baron for a time.

She decided she needed to simplify her life and get back to her roots; exploration of land and sea. The next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

==Atazai Coffins: Of Coons and Reefs==

In the year 410, After Victory, Atazai made minor news by purchasing the surname Coffins. The purchase created a minor stir on the mainland, as the name was purchased from the family's patriarch Hackett Coffins, husband of the infamous Gravelord [[Zerreck]] Arkarm of the [[Arkarm Crime Family]]. Details of the price paid have not been released but it has been rumored to have included a number of items or artifacts Zai recovered from the ocean waters near [[M'riss]] and [[Hara'Jaal]].

Shortly after she acquired her new surname word began spreading that she had offered herself up as a sacrifice to [[Zachriedek]], God of ill-fortune and bad luck. It wasn't long before she began mingling again with the normal populations on the mainland, especially in the town of [[Riverhaven]], and made the claim that she was a Chosen Prophet of [[Zachriedek]]. Her claims have been accepted by numerous Clerics and Paladins.

The full extent of her relationship with the [[Var'Quel]]'s, the Black Sash, and Hara'Jaal are still matters of some speculation, but it has become well known that Baron Kylan has made her the chief Ecologist of Hara'Jaal. In this capacity Zai monitors and protects the inshore waters, the beaches and near-shore waters and reefs, and the reefs along the deep water boundary where the continental shelf falls away to the oceanic abyss.

In the year 411 Mayor [[Bressail]] of [[Riverhaven]] hired Atazai on a contract by contract basis to assess the environmental state of that stretch of the [[Faldesu River]]. She was also seen in the outflow of the [[Faldesu Delta]] for three straight weeks, perhaps on contract from [[Throne City]] to assess any dredging that might be needed as a part of Throne City's upcoming rebuilding.

==Atazai: Still a Moon Magess==

Atazai was chosen to be the official Representative of the [[Progeny of Tezirah]] for the [[Moon Mage Conclaves]] of 412. She participated in the group prediction that resulted in dark visions and an attack of shadow creatures that included an as yet unknown [[Shadowy Umbral Colossus]]. She survived the Conclave and the attack.

BORGHEST2:

==What is roleplaying?==
Roleplaying (also known as RP) is acting out your fictional character's personality, motivations, and actions instead of those of you the player. It can be grand or small-scale, but the experience is very fun for many players!

This page is intended as a resource that DragonRealms players can use to help foster and build the RP community, and to house useful information both for brand new players and established players to feel more confident in how they can jump into RP in DR.

See [[Out of Character]] and [[OOC Euphemisms]] for behavior that may be considered objectionable among role-players.

==How do I find others to roleplay with?==
There are a number of [[Popular Gathering Places|popular gathering places]] throughout Elanthia where characters regularly socialize. Some are more permanent fixtures or more highly trafficked than others.

You can also talk to other characters ICly over long distances via:
* [[Gwethdesuan]]s, known popularly as "gweths". Gweths can be purchased from other PCs.
* [[Item:Albredine crystal ring|Albredine crystal rings]], often simply called crystal rings. These can be purchased from static shops in the game.
* [[Item:Colorless albredine ring|Various colored albredine rings]], which will allow group talk between anyone who has a ring attuned to the same color. These are sometimes dropped by creatures, and can be purchased in static shops in game.
* The [[Thoughtcast]] spell. This spell allows the caster to send a message directly to another and communicate with the target using {{tt|think to}} for a very short time.
* A warrior mage's [[Familiar|familiar]], which can relay messages from its master.
* Some other special items, such as [[Gwererest shell|gwererest shells]] and [[:Category:Whisper_charms|whisper charms]] (also called "bird charms").

==Characters actively involved in roleplay==
*Only add ''your own characters''' or the characters of players who have specifically asked to be added here.
*Limit each character to '''no more than 10''' focuses or affiliations. If you need to elaborate further, feel free to do so on your character's personal page.
*The [[Genie roleplayer highlights]] can be useful for identifying those willing to RP in game.

==Early Life==

Zai was born somewhere near [[Steelclaw Clan]], north of [[Shard]]. Upon seeing her pale, almost translucent eyes and deep black hair the Midwife called for the baby to be killed immediately. Her parents agreed but could not find the will to kill the infant outright, instead abandoning it deep in the fallow fields east of Shard.

Her own memories start when she was four and believed the couple raising her in the Middens were her parents. Her 'mother' was a custodian to a minor Rivercrossing importer while her 'father' cleaned horse stalls for a prominent Horse Care company. These two professions put her in contact with a wide array of people and influences, chief among which was a Gor'tog thief named Uskul who became a patron of hers. Uskul visited Crossing at least once a month to buy and sell horses and to relay information on caravan schedules, manifests, rosters, and routes to his guild.

Uskul funded the private education of a number of Middens children in an attempt to cull future leaders of the district. By age thirteen Zai figured out her 'parents' weren't her real parents but felt no need to search for them. She ran away from home and began running interference for a few gangs, always trying to play the middle and come out on top. Her refusal to either be guilded or join a criminal organization led to the Thieves Guild deporting her to the island of [[Surlaenis]].

This forced move was the major turning point in her life. Within fifteen roisaen on the island she had to knife a man who attempted to jump her, and fifteen rois later she was offered a shore gig for a pirate outfit based on [[Hara'jaal]]. The offer was interrupted by two Tribunal Dragoons who recognized one of the pirates and she was escorted to the safety of the Sentinels.

The Moon Mages of the Sentinels took her in and gave her legitimate work yet she was drawn to the underbelly of that tropical paradise. She did personal work for a time, crawling through mountains and jungle to map out as many illegal still and crop locations as possible. She gathered information on who ran the operations and who smuggled the goods off the island before setting up her own meetings with prominent local criminals.

At the age of fifteen Zai assissted a mediator in action and territory disputes between the four main criminal elements based on Surlaenis. The talks were a success to all four parties and to the local government and the mediator trickled small credit down to Zai. Just before her sixteenth birthday she was offered an off the book off the record position with the Surlaenis Moon Mage guild to gather information and carry out small tasks they could not be associated with.

Within a year she petitioned to become a Guilded Moon Mage, and though her superiors agreed she should be accepted they asked that she travel to the mainland to join, where there was more access to training for a young warrior. She didn't need any funding, but when they offered she took it, finding this a perfect chance to cut out on Surlaenis before she got pulled into its affairs any deeper.

==Atazai the Lunar Magician==

Zai was accepted into the Moon Mage guild by Guildleader [[Tiv]] in 392 AV after a long discussion over the various paths a lunar magician can take in life. Tiv gave Zai the names of a few Moon Mages he felt would be good influences for her spirit.

While on Surlaenis she had become accoustomed to periods of extremely bad luck; once in the guild she began exploring writings and theories of luck and Fate. These studies helped lead to the strong faith in Luck, and thus in the Aspect [[Zachriedek]], that she developed.

Though first centered around [[Riverhaven]] she soon began exploring the wilds nearby. After being swept down the Faldesu almost to [[Throne City]] and the inlet she began spending considerable amounts of time swimming. Before she gained her twentieth circle in the guild she was able to swim the [[Faldesu River]] and, with help, the [[Jantspyre River]].

She spent most of her early career traveling the mainland persuing magical and academic studies. During this period she maintained a good reputation in the guild as a straight flyer, having left her criminal ways behind. This lull in her spirit was ended when she met [[Latathi]], a wizard of a somewhat ill-repute for murder and anarchy. After spending a brief time in [[Mer'Kresh]] under his direction she came back to the mainland and began vigorously working her combat skills.

==Atazai the Warrior==

With no immediate desire to live in [[Crossing]] again she accepted a room from Guildleader [[Tiv]] and resisted joining the [[Crystal Hand]]. When her combat training was beginning to lag she then resisted the move to [[Reshalia]] her contemporaries were taking, instead traveling during war-time to [[Hibarnhvidar]] where she did what she could to assist the city against the armies of [[Lyras]].

After the war Zai stuck around the western province renting a room at Momma's Bed and Breakfast by the month and working with local Officials to maintain outbreaks of bucca, imps, and cave trolls. Months passed and the Coon in her guided her to the valley of Vela'tohr and His altar there. At the time there was a problem with the flora and fauna of the area, all affected by a sickly curse, so she honed her battle skills further defoliating blood-vines and maiden's tresses and obliterating cursed dryads and nyads.

During the winter of 395 a cursed clan of ogres descended on Vela'tohr intent on slaughtering everyone they could find. The onslaught was fierce and a strange infection began to spread among the defenders. The main body of defenders had come from [[Hibarnhvidar]] to aid but soon fell back to the city fearing the new disease. A small group led by the Dwarven Cleric [[Vecuto]], which included Zai and the Empath Marssi, gained stealthy access to the depths of the ogre caves and met battle with a [[Bone Elf]], his [[S'kra Mur]] apprentice, and their risen.

Though the Elf was defeated it took a great toll on Vecuto, and they found the apprentice to be a much tougher challenge than the master. Eventually the group took the S'kra woman as prisoner and set off to take her back to Vecuto's Guild in the valley. Marssi had healed the party of all physical ailments and Vecuto had cleared them of ill spiritual affects, yet on the way back to the Guild four members of the group grew fell and set upon the rest slaying half the party in an incensed rage and freeing the tempermental S'kra alchemist who spat curses fled into the wilderness.

==Atazai the Unknown Criminal==

Some months passed as she roamed the western province and when the dreams of the ocean began she felt the time came to leave. A stay in [[Shard]] did not comfort her so she made it very brief before travelling north to [[Crossing]]. As it is to many adventurers, the city was a bad influence on her.

While keeping rogue [[Forest Geni]] and [[atik'et]] populations under control she fell back into the violence and chaos of the street life. Zai joined the Magen Road Gang (an applicant alongside her trusted friend Marssi Darssi who became the Face of the Gang) filling the role of Moderator when there were workable disputes in town, keeping herself out of the illegal side of Gang operations. This gig didn't last too long; the Gang parted ways after [[House Magen]] came under scrutiny for various financial misnomers that surfaced in tax records. No connections to [[House Magen]] and the Magen Street Gang were ever verified, though the Gang seemed to have unlimited funds during their run and many of their criminal members escaped sentencing on charges of murder, racketeering, extortion, and bribery.

The Gang split up, most of the higher profile members moving south of the [[Segoltha River]] while the more common thugs integrated themselves into other [[Crossing]] criminal organizations. Atazai decided instead to move back to [[Qi'Reshalia]]. Her dreams of the ocean had gotten intense, real intense, and the mainland side of the [[Reshal Sea]] was not cutting it.

She arrived back on [[Surlaenis]] for the first time in three years, renting a bungalow on the sea cliffs over looking the Reshal. Finally her dreams settled and she found peace of mind again. The island held part of her past, so she soon found all manner of people coming to her recalling debts and favors from her teenage years. The pestering was fine at first but she was soon waking in foul moods and refusing to leave the remote cliffs. Release from these annoyances came in the form of a formal invitation to meet with certain members of the Council of [[Mer'kresh]].

==Atazai the Known Criminal==

It is assumed she accepted the Council's invitation, as she hired a caretaker for her bungalow and vanished from [[Surlaenis]]. For a few months she was absent from any news of adventure or politics or criminal activity.

The next record of her comes in records of a citizenship change to [[M'riss]] and the purchase of a shack on [[Fever Point]]. This was followed by official announcements that Zai was on the Council's payroll as a tour guide and dive master, leading tourists on excursions across [[Torbis Sanhalas Bay]] and [[Belarritaco Bay]] showcasing the abundant marine and coral life and leading safaris through the jungles of [[M'riss]].

Along with her mundane jobs under the Council she was also voted onto the Board of the Fever Point Home Owner's Association which, though it has known ties to the Council seems to work as an independent criminal outfit that takes up where the Council would (publicly) rather not. Basing herself there on the Point, she made to reconnect with her old mentor Latathi but found he had been afflicted with a strange mental malady, so severe he seemed like a different person. It was fortunate, as she turned to the Warlock [[Asrion]], a former member of the [[Goose Family Crime Syndicate]] for moon mage matters.

A year and a half passed without much incident. Zai kept a low and legal profile, though there were rumors that she and [[Asrion]] were asked by the Council to cease an experiment in the [[Dunes of Despair]] that reports indicate "may have caused massive explosions in the desert that hurled a number of [[Armadillo]] as far as the jungles around the Altanen River". No evidence was accumulated against the two, though the occurrence of several [[Armadillo]] rampaging through the [[Caracal]] and [[Lun'Shele Trekhalo]] jungles is well documented.

Her seat on the FPHOA Board gave Zai an opportunity to improve her reputation with the Council of Mer'kresh without being enmeshed in their inner squabbles and to increase the role [[Fever Point]] played in the [[Qi]] smuggling trade and led to the Council offering her a position with the Kresh Portage. She accepted and began work as a Face for the Portage.

Zai held this position for over a year and her employment consisted primarily of supervising the loading and unloading of legitimate ships, dealing with ship captains, and overseeing cargo checks by the respective Portages. Within that year she began taking off-island contracts in the same capacity, primarily in [[Rivercrossing]], [[Riverhaven]], and [[Ratha]]. Periodically she would be arrested and taken into custody and fed generic questions about smuggling, errors in ledgers and manifests, suspicions of bribery, and details of [[Reshal Sea]] pirate movements.

Sometime in 406 AV she was on duty in [[Rivercrossing]] when two crates containing contraband liquor and herbs were discovered. After an anlas of questioning she was jailed for two weeks before being deported to [[Mer'kresh]]. After a small, private hearing with the Council she was placed on paid suspension and asked to keep a low profile when visiting the mainland.

While on suspension from Council employ Zai took a contract with the [[Enclave]] as a Tourism Agent and began travelling the mainland in an attempt to bring visitors to enjoy the tropical paradise of Hara'jaal. At first she was given a room in [[Var'Quel]] Manor which locked only from the outside and was completely warded from magic use. After proving herself a decently ruthless and reasonably shameless criminal she was allowed to rent a treehouse outside of the [[Enclave]] walls.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

The latter half of year 406 AV was a trying time for Atazai. In [[Mer'kresh]] the [[Allvar]] family began to apply pressure to get her to side
with them in Council matters. The Council itself was constantly calling on her to accept higher roles and more responsibility. But of these situations she resisted, and thus garnered disapproval from the Allvars.

Meanwhile, Baron [[Var'Quel]] sought to turn her completely away from M'riss and bring her into the Black Sash fleet. He threatened to seize her tree-house and her scroll stash in her room at his Manor. She renounced her Rissan citizenship and broke her last contract with the Rissan Council, and it was enough to appease the Baron for a time.

She decided she needed to simplify her life and get back to her roots; exploration of land and sea. The next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

==Atazai Coffins: Of Coons and Reefs==

In the year 410, After Victory, Atazai made minor news by purchasing the surname Coffins. The purchase created a minor stir on the mainland, as the name was purchased from the family's patriarch Hackett Coffins, husband of the infamous Gravelord [[Zerreck]] Arkarm of the [[Arkarm Crime Family]]. Details of the price paid have not been released but it has been rumored to have included a number of items or artifacts Zai recovered from the ocean waters near [[M'riss]] and [[Hara'Jaal]].

Shortly after she acquired her new surname word began spreading that she had offered herself up as a sacrifice to [[Zachriedek]], God of ill-fortune and bad luck. It wasn't long before she began mingling again with the normal populations on the mainland, especially in the town of [[Riverhaven]], and made the claim that she was a Chosen Prophet of [[Zachriedek]]. Her claims have been accepted by numerous Clerics and Paladins.

The full extent of her relationship with the [[Var'Quel]]'s, the Black Sash, and Hara'Jaal are still matters of some speculation, but it has become well known that Baron Kylan has made her the chief Ecologist of Hara'Jaal. In this capacity Zai monitors and protects the inshore waters, the beaches and near-shore waters and reefs, and the reefs along the deep water boundary where the continental shelf falls away to the oceanic abyss.

In the year 411 Mayor [[Bressail]] of [[Riverhaven]] hired Atazai on a contract by contract basis to assess the environmental state of that stretch of the [[Faldesu River]]. She was also seen in the outflow of the [[Faldesu Delta]] for three straight weeks, perhaps on contract from [[Throne City]] to assess any dredging that might be needed as a part of Throne City's upcoming rebuilding.

==Atazai: Still a Moon Magess==

Atazai was chosen to be the official Representative of the [[Progeny of Tezirah]] for the [[Moon Mage Conclaves]] of 412. She participated in the group prediction that resulted in dark visions and an attack of shadow creatures that included an as yet unknown [[Shadowy Umbral Colossus]]. She survived the Conclave and the attack.

==Early Life==

Zai was born somewhere near [[Steelclaw Clan]], north of [[Shard]]. Upon seeing her pale, almost translucent eyes and deep black hair the Midwife called for the baby to be killed immediately. Her parents agreed but could not find the will to kill the infant outright, instead abandoning it deep in the fallow fields east of Shard.

Her own memories start when she was four and believed the couple raising her in the Middens were her parents. Her 'mother' was a custodian to a minor Rivercrossing importer while her 'father' cleaned horse stalls for a prominent Horse Care company. These two professions put her in contact with a wide array of people and influences, chief among which was a Gor'tog thief named Uskul who became a patron of hers. Uskul visited Crossing at least once a month to buy and sell horses and to relay information on caravan schedules, manifests, rosters, and routes to his guild.

Uskul funded the private education of a number of Middens children in an attempt to cull future leaders of the district. By age thirteen Zai figured out her 'parents' weren't her real parents but felt no need to search for them. She ran away from home and began running interference for a few gangs, always trying to play the middle and come out on top. Her refusal to either be guilded or join a criminal organization led to the Thieves Guild deporting her to the island of [[Surlaenis]].

This forced move was the major turning point in her life. Within fifteen roisaen on the island she had to knife a man who attempted to jump her, and fifteen rois later she was offered a shore gig for a pirate outfit based on [[Hara'jaal]]. The offer was interrupted by two Tribunal Dragoons who recognized one of the pirates and she was escorted to the safety of the Sentinels.

The Moon Mages of the Sentinels took her in and gave her legitimate work yet she was drawn to the underbelly of that tropical paradise. She did personal work for a time, crawling through mountains and jungle to map out as many illegal still and crop locations as possible. She gathered information on who ran the operations and who smuggled the goods off the island before setting up her own meetings with prominent local criminals.

At the age of fifteen Zai assissted a mediator in action and territory disputes between the four main criminal elements based on Surlaenis. The talks were a success to all four parties and to the local government and the mediator trickled small credit down to Zai. Just before her sixteenth birthday she was offered an off the book off the record position with the Surlaenis Moon Mage guild to gather information and carry out small tasks they could not be associated with.

Within a year she petitioned to become a Guilded Moon Mage, and though her superiors agreed she should be accepted they asked that she travel to the mainland to join, where there was more access to training for a young warrior. She didn't need any funding, but when they offered she took it, finding this a perfect chance to cut out on Surlaenis before she got pulled into its affairs any deeper.

==Atazai the Lunar Magician==

Zai was accepted into the Moon Mage guild by Guildleader [[Tiv]] in 392 AV after a long discussion over the various paths a lunar magician can take in life. Tiv gave Zai the names of a few Moon Mages he felt would be good influences for her spirit.

While on Surlaenis she had become accoustomed to periods of extremely bad luck; once in the guild she began exploring writings and theories of luck and Fate. These studies helped lead to the strong faith in Luck, and thus in the Aspect [[Zachriedek]], that she developed.

Though first centered around [[Riverhaven]] she soon began exploring the wilds nearby. After being swept down the Faldesu almost to [[Throne City]] and the inlet she began spending considerable amounts of time swimming. Before she gained her twentieth circle in the guild she was able to swim the [[Faldesu River]] and, with help, the [[Jantspyre River]].

She spent most of her early career traveling the mainland persuing magical and academic studies. During this period she maintained a good reputation in the guild as a straight flyer, having left her criminal ways behind. This lull in her spirit was ended when she met [[Latathi]], a wizard of a somewhat ill-repute for murder and anarchy. After spending a brief time in [[Mer'Kresh]] under his direction she came back to the mainland and began vigorously working her combat skills.

==Atazai the Warrior==

With no immediate desire to live in [[Crossing]] again she accepted a room from Guildleader [[Tiv]] and resisted joining the [[Crystal Hand]]. When her combat training was beginning to lag she then resisted the move to [[Reshalia]] her contemporaries were taking, instead traveling during war-time to [[Hibarnhvidar]] where she did what she could to assist the city against the armies of [[Lyras]].

After the war Zai stuck around the western province renting a room at Momma's Bed and Breakfast by the month and working with local Officials to maintain outbreaks of bucca, imps, and cave trolls. Months passed and the Coon in her guided her to the valley of Vela'tohr and His altar there. At the time there was a problem with the flora and fauna of the area, all affected by a sickly curse, so she honed her battle skills further defoliating blood-vines and maiden's tresses and obliterating cursed dryads and nyads.

During the winter of 395 a cursed clan of ogres descended on Vela'tohr intent on slaughtering everyone they could find. The onslaught was fierce and a strange infection began to spread among the defenders. The main body of defenders had come from [[Hibarnhvidar]] to aid but soon fell back to the city fearing the new disease. A small group led by the Dwarven Cleric [[Vecuto]], which included Zai and the Empath Marssi, gained stealthy access to the depths of the ogre caves and met battle with a [[Bone Elf]], his [[S'kra Mur]] apprentice, and their risen.

Though the Elf was defeated it took a great toll on Vecuto, and they found the apprentice to be a much tougher challenge than the master. Eventually the group took the S'kra woman as prisoner and set off to take her back to Vecuto's Guild in the valley. Marssi had healed the party of all physical ailments and Vecuto had cleared them of ill spiritual affects, yet on the way back to the Guild four members of the group grew fell and set upon the rest slaying half the party in an incensed rage and freeing the tempermental S'kra alchemist who spat curses fled into the wilderness.

==Atazai the Unknown Criminal==

Some months passed as she roamed the western province and when the dreams of the ocean began she felt the time came to leave. A stay in [[Shard]] did not comfort her so she made it very brief before travelling north to [[Crossing]]. As it is to many adventurers, the city was a bad influence on her.

While keeping rogue [[Forest Geni]] and [[atik'et]] populations under control she fell back into the violence and chaos of the street life. Zai joined the Magen Road Gang (an applicant alongside her trusted friend Marssi Darssi who became the Face of the Gang) filling the role of Moderator when there were workable disputes in town, keeping herself out of the illegal side of Gang operations. This gig didn't last too long; the Gang parted ways after [[House Magen]] came under scrutiny for various financial misnomers that surfaced in tax records. No connections to [[House Magen]] and the Magen Street Gang were ever verified, though the Gang seemed to have unlimited funds during their run and many of their criminal members escaped sentencing on charges of murder, racketeering, extortion, and bribery.

The Gang split up, most of the higher profile members moving south of the [[Segoltha River]] while the more common thugs integrated themselves into other [[Crossing]] criminal organizations. Atazai decided instead to move back to [[Qi'Reshalia]]. Her dreams of the ocean had gotten intense, real intense, and the mainland side of the [[Reshal Sea]] was not cutting it.

She arrived back on [[Surlaenis]] for the first time in three years, renting a bungalow on the sea cliffs over looking the Reshal. Finally her dreams settled and she found peace of mind again. The island held part of her past, so she soon found all manner of people coming to her recalling debts and favors from her teenage years. The pestering was fine at first but she was soon waking in foul moods and refusing to leave the remote cliffs. Release from these annoyances came in the form of a formal invitation to meet with certain members of the Council of [[Mer'kresh]].

==Atazai the Known Criminal==

It is assumed she accepted the Council's invitation, as she hired a caretaker for her bungalow and vanished from [[Surlaenis]]. For a few months she was absent from any news of adventure or politics or criminal activity.

The next record of her comes in records of a citizenship change to [[M'riss]] and the purchase of a shack on [[Fever Point]]. This was followed by official announcements that Zai was on the Council's payroll as a tour guide and dive master, leading tourists on excursions across [[Torbis Sanhalas Bay]] and [[Belarritaco Bay]] showcasing the abundant marine and coral life and leading safaris through the jungles of [[M'riss]].

Along with her mundane jobs under the Council she was also voted onto the Board of the Fever Point Home Owner's Association which, though it has known ties to the Council seems to work as an independent criminal outfit that takes up where the Council would (publicly) rather not. Basing herself there on the Point, she made to reconnect with her old mentor Latathi but found he had been afflicted with a strange mental malady, so severe he seemed like a different person. It was fortunate, as she turned to the Warlock [[Asrion]], a former member of the [[Goose Family Crime Syndicate]] for moon mage matters.

A year and a half passed without much incident. Zai kept a low and legal profile, though there were rumors that she and [[Asrion]] were asked by the Council to cease an experiment in the [[Dunes of Despair]] that reports indicate "may have caused massive explosions in the desert that hurled a number of [[Armadillo]] as far as the jungles around the Altanen River". No evidence was accumulated against the two, though the occurrence of several [[Armadillo]] rampaging through the [[Caracal]] and [[Lun'Shele Trekhalo]] jungles is well documented.

Her seat on the FPHOA Board gave Zai an opportunity to improve her reputation with the Council of Mer'kresh without being enmeshed in their inner squabbles and to increase the role [[Fever Point]] played in the [[Qi]] smuggling trade and led to the Council offering her a position with the Kresh Portage. She accepted and began work as a Face for the Portage.

Zai held this position for over a year and her employment consisted primarily of supervising the loading and unloading of legitimate ships, dealing with ship captains, and overseeing cargo checks by the respective Portages. Within that year she began taking off-island contracts in the same capacity, primarily in [[Rivercrossing]], [[Riverhaven]], and [[Ratha]]. Periodically she would be arrested and taken into custody and fed generic questions about smuggling, errors in ledgers and manifests, suspicions of bribery, and details of [[Reshal Sea]] pirate movements.

Sometime in 406 AV she was on duty in [[Rivercrossing]] when two crates containing contraband liquor and herbs were discovered. After an anlas of questioning she was jailed for two weeks before being deported to [[Mer'kresh]]. After a small, private hearing with the Council she was placed on paid suspension and asked to keep a low profile when visiting the mainland.

While on suspension from Council employ Zai took a contract with the [[Enclave]] as a Tourism Agent and began travelling the mainland in an attempt to bring visitors to enjoy the tropical paradise of Hara'jaal. At first she was given a room in [[Var'Quel]] Manor which locked only from the outside and was completely warded from magic use. After proving herself a decently ruthless and reasonably shameless criminal she was allowed to rent a treehouse outside of the [[Enclave]] walls.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

She decided she needed to simplify her life and get back to her roots; exploration of land and sea. The next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

In the year 410, After Victory, Atazai made minor news by purchasing the surname Coffins.

Her claims have been accepted by numerous Clerics and Paladins.

In this capacity Zai monitors and protects the inshore waters, the beaches and near-shore waters and reefs, and the reefs along the deep water boundary where the continental shelf falls away to the oceanic abyss.

Unique items owned by [[Atazai]] Coffins.

==A shimmery diving robe of watersilk==

Tinted to an aesthetically pleasing shade of aquamarine, the fabric of the robe drapes languidly over the wearer's form. Cunningly tailored to fit close to the body, the garment's length and construction allows for unhindered movement whether on land or under water. Small, neat stitching in black thread adorns the hemlines, contrasting the fabric elegantly. Tacked into the neckline, a gremlin appears with intricate contours done in shadow embroidery.

* Gift from the Allvar family, given for five years of service.

==A dive master's scythe with a thin glaes blade==

The haft of the weapon is carved from a single piece of water-aged cypress, while the narrow glaes blade is strangely curved and etched with a plethora of grooves and channels to allow it to slice unhindered through water. The haft is engraved with an entwined motif of swimming selkies and merrows, which stand out brightly from the salt-stained backdrop. Faint lettering is etched into the wood near the blade.
There appears to be something written on it.

A dive master's scythe reads:
"I cut through the depths."

* Gift from [[Daralaendra]] Suanealaena, given as a birthday present.

==Some sea-green plate armor masterfully engraved with an underwater battle scene==

An epic battle is engraved in sections across the entirety of the armor. Selkies and merrow writhe and grapple up each greave and cuisse. Drowned corpses claw and bite at frenzied sharks on the vambraces. A pod of Reshal porpoise engage a marauding group of giant squid across the cuirass. Two patient mantis shrimp stalk a huge stone crab across the backplate.

* Gift from the Black Sash Fleet, given for 15 years in the service of [[Hara'jaal]].

==A haralun medallion shaped like a tentacled mass surrounding a bloodmist garnet eye==

A lone bloodmist garnet gleams like a bloody eye at the center of countless haralun tentacles that are crafted to appear as if in motion when light plays across it.
There appears to be something written on it.

A haralun medallion reads:
"There is no light in the deepest of depths."

* Gift from the Moon Mage Guild, given for representing the Progeny of Tezirah at the Moon Mage Conclave of 412.

==A highly adjustable stargazer's sling chair==

Supple gloomwood branches form the collapsible frame for the chair. Lengths of braided river grass serve to bind the wood together while strips of compressed kelp form a tight netting that comprises the combined back and seat. Almost hidden from view is a complex network of levers that allow the chair to be adjusted or folded.

* Gift from the Moon Mage Guild, given for representing the Progeny of Tezirah at the Moon Mage Conclave of 412.

==An enflowered silk sarong==

The multilayered flowers have been preserved and cunningly imbedded into the fabric of the sarong. White water lilies, crimson sharktooth blossoms, and green orchids comprise the bulk of the colors and are interspersed with prime examples of king protea and aldam lorma blossoms, deep purple phofe flowers, bright red jungle lilies, and vibrant dolphin flowers. A Taisidon sunset garnet is set to clasp the material at the base of the wearer's neck, while two seastar tourmalines secure it at the left hip.

* Gift from Lilidona Kersharin, given for becoming her highest paying customer.

<b>Abira Sohrac</b> is the owner of Sohrac's Gembuyers.

==Appearance==
You see gembuyer Abira Sohrac, an Elothean woman with shoulder-length silver hair framing a heartshaped face and light blue eyes. Tall and graceful, she bends slightly as she focuses on her work, her gaze intent as her tapered fingers move quickly over the gemstones in her sorting tray. Her simply-cut daygown of pale grey silk provides an elegant contrast to the platinum-set star sapphire at her throat and matched bracelets flashing at her wrists.

==Atmospherics==
* A dignified young S'Kra clad in richly embroidered robes steps towards the counter, bowing and offering a little suede sack to the gembuyer. Smiling, she accepts it and pours a rainbowed cascade of gemstones into another sorting tray, exclaiming, "Nido'a, R'khar! You've been hunting again, I see!"

* A pair of mudcaked and slightly tipsy barbarians stumble in, waving coffers of gems and singing hunting songs. Although Abira maintains her cool composure as she begins to assess their treasure, you notice her lightly touch the bejeweled hilts of a pair of little throwing daggers tucked into her sleeves, and you wonder just what this regal Elothean is capable of.

* With a delicate pair of gold forceps, Abira holds an emerald to the light to look for tiny imperfections, setting its deep-green reflection sparkling against the walls of the room.

* Abira stands and stretches, moving quietly about the room to flick imaginary specks of dust off of gleaming glass cases, adjust the shutters, and angle lamps so as to enhance the appearance of the gems on display.

* A dark-cloaked woman strides through the door. Abira blanches and moves quickly to take her elbow and usher her back out, softly hissing "You know you're not to bring that business here when customers are present!"

* Absent-mindedly tucking an errant strand of silver hair behind one ear, the Elothean squints thoughtfully at a little opal, pushing it to a corner of the sorting-tray.

==Responses to Questions==
* Baron - A flush rises to her cheeks, and she pauses momentarily before quietly saying, "He is a man much misunderstood."
Abira shrugs.

Tall and graceful, she bends slightly as she focuses on her work, her gaze intent as her tapered fingers move quickly over the gemstones in her sorting tray.

The immola resembles a troll in build, but the similarities end there. Large, curling black horns protrude from its broad forehead, and dark ridges shade beady black eyes. The most outstanding feature is his boil-covered skin. Streaks of fiery-colored veins sit close to the surface, rupturing occasionally and leaking the immola's overheated blood. Between this and his penchant for violence, the immola is not a pretty sight.

==Messaging==
A folsi immola looks itself over, scratching at old injuries and searching for new.

A folsi immola smears a handful of phlegm over its wounds which miraculously begin to close up.

==Early Life==

Zai was born somewhere near [[Steelclaw Clan]], north of [[Shard]]. Upon seeing her pale, almost translucent eyes and deep black hair the Midwife called for the baby to be killed immediately. Her parents agreed but could not find the will to kill the infant outright, instead abandoning it deep in the fallow fields east of Shard.

Her own memories start when she was four and believed the couple raising her in the Middens were her parents. Her 'mother' was a custodian to a minor Rivercrossing importer while her 'father' cleaned horse stalls for a prominent Horse Care company. These two professions put her in contact with a wide array of people and influences, chief among which was a Gor'tog thief named Uskul who became a patron of hers. Uskul visited Crossing at least once a month to buy and sell horses and to relay information on caravan schedules, manifests, rosters, and routes to his guild.

Uskul funded the private education of a number of Middens children in an attempt to cull future leaders of the district. By age thirteen Zai figured out her 'parents' weren't her real parents but felt no need to search for them. She ran away from home and began running interference for a few gangs, always trying to play the middle and come out on top. Her refusal to either be guilded or join a criminal organization led to the Thieves Guild deporting her to the island of [[Surlaenis]].

This forced move was the major turning point in her life. Within fifteen roisaen on the island she had to knife a man who attempted to jump her, and fifteen rois later she was offered a shore gig for a pirate outfit based on [[Hara'jaal]]. The offer was interrupted by two Tribunal Dragoons who recognized one of the pirates and she was escorted to the safety of the Sentinels.

The Moon Mages of the Sentinels took her in and gave her legitimate work yet she was drawn to the underbelly of that tropical paradise. She did personal work for a time, crawling through mountains and jungle to map out as many illegal still and crop locations as possible. She gathered information on who ran the operations and who smuggled the goods off the island before setting up her own meetings with prominent local criminals.

At the age of fifteen Zai assissted a mediator in action and territory disputes between the four main criminal elements based on Surlaenis. The talks were a success to all four parties and to the local government and the mediator trickled small credit down to Zai. Just before her sixteenth birthday she was offered an off the book off the record position with the Surlaenis Moon Mage guild to gather information and carry out small tasks they could not be associated with.

Within a year she petitioned to become a Guilded Moon Mage, and though her superiors agreed she should be accepted they asked that she travel to the mainland to join, where there was more access to training for a young warrior. She didn't need any funding, but when they offered she took it, finding this a perfect chance to cut out on Surlaenis before she got pulled into its affairs any deeper.

==Atazai the Lunar Magician==

Zai was accepted into the Moon Mage guild by Guildleader [[Tiv]] in 392 AV after a long discussion over the various paths a lunar magician can take in life. Tiv gave Zai the names of a few Moon Mages he felt would be good influences for her spirit.

While on Surlaenis she had become accoustomed to periods of extremely bad luck; once in the guild she began exploring writings and theories of luck and Fate. These studies helped lead to the strong faith in Luck, and thus in the Aspect [[Zachriedek]], that she developed.

Though first centered around [[Riverhaven]] she soon began exploring the wilds nearby. After being swept down the Faldesu almost to [[Throne City]] and the inlet she began spending considerable amounts of time swimming. Before she gained her twentieth circle in the guild she was able to swim the [[Faldesu River]] and, with help, the [[Jantspyre River]].

She spent most of her early career traveling the mainland persuing magical and academic studies. During this period she maintained a good reputation in the guild as a straight flyer, having left her criminal ways behind. This lull in her spirit was ended when she met [[Latathi]], a wizard of a somewhat ill-repute for murder and anarchy. After spending a brief time in [[Mer'Kresh]] under his direction she came back to the mainland and began vigorously working her combat skills.

==Atazai the Warrior==

With no immediate desire to live in [[Crossing]] again she accepted a room from Guildleader [[Tiv]] and resisted joining the [[Crystal Hand]]. When her combat training was beginning to lag she then resisted the move to [[Reshalia]] her contemporaries were taking, instead traveling during war-time to [[Hibarnhvidar]] where she did what she could to assist the city against the armies of [[Lyras]].

After the war Zai stuck around the western province renting a room at Momma's Bed and Breakfast by the month and working with local Officials to maintain outbreaks of bucca, imps, and cave trolls. Months passed and the Coon in her guided her to the valley of Vela'tohr and His altar there. At the time there was a problem with the flora and fauna of the area, all affected by a sickly curse, so she honed her battle skills further defoliating blood-vines and maiden's tresses and obliterating cursed dryads and nyads.

During the winter of 395 a cursed clan of ogres descended on Vela'tohr intent on slaughtering everyone they could find. The onslaught was fierce and a strange infection began to spread among the defenders. The main body of defenders had come from [[Hibarnhvidar]] to aid but soon fell back to the city fearing the new disease. A small group led by the Dwarven Cleric [[Vecuto]], which included Zai and the Empath Marssi, gained stealthy access to the depths of the ogre caves and met battle with a [[Bone Elf]], his [[S'kra Mur]] apprentice, and their risen.

Though the Elf was defeated it took a great toll on Vecuto, and they found the apprentice to be a much tougher challenge than the master. Eventually the group took the S'kra woman as prisoner and set off to take her back to Vecuto's Guild in the valley. Marssi had healed the party of all physical ailments and Vecuto had cleared them of ill spiritual affects, yet on the way back to the Guild four members of the group grew fell and set upon the rest slaying half the party in an incensed rage and freeing the tempermental S'kra alchemist who spat curses fled into the wilderness.

==Atazai the Unknown Criminal==

Some months passed as she roamed the western province and when the dreams of the ocean began she felt the time came to leave. A stay in [[Shard]] did not comfort her so she made it very brief before travelling north to [[Crossing]]. As it is to many adventurers, the city was a bad influence on her.

While keeping rogue [[Forest Geni]] and [[atik'et]] populations under control she fell back into the violence and chaos of the street life. Zai joined the Magen Road Gang (an applicant alongside her trusted friend Marssi Darssi who became the Face of the Gang) filling the role of Moderator when there were workable disputes in town, keeping herself out of the illegal side of Gang operations. This gig didn't last too long; the Gang parted ways after [[House Magen]] came under scrutiny for various financial misnomers that surfaced in tax records. No connections to [[House Magen]] and the Magen Street Gang were ever verified, though the Gang seemed to have unlimited funds during their run and many of their criminal members escaped sentencing on charges of murder, racketeering, extortion, and bribery.

The Gang split up, most of the higher profile members moving south of the [[Segoltha River]] while the more common thugs integrated themselves into other [[Crossing]] criminal organizations. Atazai decided instead to move back to [[Qi'Reshalia]]. Her dreams of the ocean had gotten intense, real intense, and the mainland side of the [[Reshal Sea]] was not cutting it.

She arrived back on [[Surlaenis]] for the first time in three years, renting a bungalow on the sea cliffs over looking the Reshal. Finally her dreams settled and she found peace of mind again. The island held part of her past, so she soon found all manner of people coming to her recalling debts and favors from her teenage years. The pestering was fine at first but she was soon waking in foul moods and refusing to leave the remote cliffs. Release from these annoyances came in the form of a formal invitation to meet with certain members of the Council of [[Mer'kresh]].

==Atazai the Known Criminal==

It is assumed she accepted the Council's invitation, as she hired a caretaker for her bungalow and vanished from [[Surlaenis]]. For a few months she was absent from any news of adventure or politics or criminal activity.

The next record of her comes in records of a citizenship change to [[M'riss]] and the purchase of a shack on [[Fever Point]]. This was followed by official announcements that Zai was on the Council's payroll as a tour guide and dive master, leading tourists on excursions across [[Torbis Sanhalas Bay]] and [[Belarritaco Bay]] showcasing the abundant marine and coral life and leading safaris through the jungles of [[M'riss]].

Along with her mundane jobs under the Council she was also voted onto the Board of the Fever Point Home Owner's Association which, though it has known ties to the Council seems to work as an independent criminal outfit that takes up where the Council would (publicly) rather not. Basing herself there on the Point, she made to reconnect with her old mentor Latathi but found he had been afflicted with a strange mental malady, so severe he seemed like a different person. It was fortunate, as she turned to the Warlock [[Asrion]], a former member of the [[Goose Family Crime Syndicate]] for moon mage matters.

A year and a half passed without much incident. Zai kept a low and legal profile, though there were rumors that she and [[Asrion]] were asked by the Council to cease an experiment in the [[Dunes of Despair]] that reports indicate "may have caused massive explosions in the desert that hurled a number of [[Armadillo]] as far as the jungles around the Altanen River". No evidence was accumulated against the two, though the occurrence of several [[Armadillo]] rampaging through the [[Caracal]] and [[Lun'Shele Trekhalo]] jungles is well documented.

Her seat on the FPHOA Board gave Zai an opportunity to improve her reputation with the Council of Mer'kresh without being enmeshed in their inner squabbles and to increase the role [[Fever Point]] played in the [[Qi]] smuggling trade and led to the Council offering her a position with the Kresh Portage. She accepted and began work as a Face for the Portage.

Zai held this position for over a year and her employment consisted primarily of supervising the loading and unloading of legitimate ships, dealing with ship captains, and overseeing cargo checks by the respective Portages. Within that year she began taking off-island contracts in the same capacity, primarily in [[Rivercrossing]], [[Riverhaven]], and [[Ratha]]. Periodically she would be arrested and taken into custody and fed generic questions about smuggling, errors in ledgers and manifests, suspicions of bribery, and details of [[Reshal Sea]] pirate movements.

Sometime in 406 AV she was on duty in [[Rivercrossing]] when two crates containing contraband liquor and herbs were discovered. After an anlas of questioning she was jailed for two weeks before being deported to [[Mer'kresh]]. After a small, private hearing with the Council she was placed on paid suspension and asked to keep a low profile when visiting the mainland.

While on suspension from Council employ Zai took a contract with the [[Enclave]] as a Tourism Agent and began travelling the mainland in an attempt to bring visitors to enjoy the tropical paradise of Hara'jaal. At first she was given a room in [[Var'Quel]] Manor which locked only from the outside and was completely warded from magic use. After proving herself a decently ruthless and reasonably shameless criminal she was allowed to rent a treehouse outside of the [[Enclave]] walls.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

The latter half of year 406 AV was a trying time for Atazai. In [[Mer'kresh]] the [[Allvar]] family began to apply pressure to get her to side
with them in Council matters. The Council itself was constantly calling on her to accept higher roles and more responsibility. But of these situations she resisted, and thus garnered disapproval from the Allvars.

Meanwhile, Baron [[Var'Quel]] sought to turn her completely away from M'riss and bring her into the Black Sash fleet. He threatened to seize her tree-house and her scroll stash in her room at his Manor. She renounced her Rissan citizenship and broke her last contract with the Rissan Council, and it was enough to appease the Baron for a time.

She decided she needed to simplify her life and get back to her roots; exploration of land and sea. The next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

==Atazai Coffins: Of Coons and Reefs==

In the year 410, After Victory, Atazai made minor news by purchasing the surname Coffins. The purchase created a minor stir on the mainland, as the name was purchased from the family's patriarch Hackett Coffins, husband of the infamous Gravelord [[Zerreck]] Arkarm of the [[Arkarm Crime Family]]. Details of the price paid have not been released but it has been rumored to have included a number of items or artifacts Zai recovered from the ocean waters near [[M'riss]] and [[Hara'Jaal]].

Shortly after she acquired her new surname word began spreading that she had offered herself up as a sacrifice to [[Zachriedek]], God of ill-fortune and bad luck. It wasn't long before she began mingling again with the normal populations on the mainland, especially in the town of [[Riverhaven]], and made the claim that she was a Chosen Prophet of [[Zachriedek]]. Her claims have been accepted by numerous Clerics and Paladins.

The full extent of her relationship with the [[Var'Quel]]'s, the Black Sash, and Hara'Jaal are still matters of some speculation, but it has become well known that Baron Kylan has made her the chief Ecologist of Hara'Jaal. In this capacity Zai monitors and protects the inshore waters, the beaches and near-shore waters and reefs, and the reefs along the deep water boundary where the continental shelf falls away to the oceanic abyss.

In the year 411 Mayor [[Bressail]] of [[Riverhaven]] hired Atazai on a contract by contract basis to assess the environmental state of that stretch of the [[Faldesu River]]. She was also seen in the outflow of the [[Faldesu Delta]] for three straight weeks, perhaps on contract from [[Throne City]] to assess any dredging that might be needed as a part of Throne City's upcoming rebuilding.

==Atazai: Still a Moon Magess==

Atazai was chosen to be the official Representative of the [[Progeny of Tezirah]] for the [[Moon Mage Conclaves]] of 412. She participated in the group prediction that resulted in dark visions and an attack of shadow creatures that included an as yet unknown [[Shadowy Umbral Colossus]]. She survived the Conclave and the attack.

This gig didn't last too long; the Gang parted ways after [[House Magen]] came under scrutiny for various financial misnomers that surfaced in tax records. No connections to [[House Magen]] and the Magen Street Gang were ever verified, though the Gang seemed to have unlimited funds during their run and many of their criminal members escaped sentencing on charges of murder, racketeering, extortion, and bribery.

The Gang split up, most of the higher profile members moving south of the [[Segoltha River]] while the more common thugs integrated themselves into other [[Crossing]] criminal organizations. Atazai decided instead to move back to [[Qi'Reshalia]]. Her dreams of the ocean had gotten intense, real intense, and the mainland side of the [[Reshal Sea]] was not cutting it.

She arrived back on [[Surlaenis]] for the first time in three years, renting a bungalow on the sea cliffs over looking the Reshal. Finally her dreams settled and she found peace of mind again. The island held part of her past, so she soon found all manner of people coming to her recalling debts and favors from her teenage years. The pestering was fine at first but she was soon waking in foul moods and refusing to leave the remote cliffs. Release from these annoyances came in the form of a formal invitation to meet with certain members of the Council of [[Mer'kresh]].

==Atazai the Known Criminal==

It is assumed she accepted the Council's invitation, as she hired a caretaker for her bungalow and vanished from [[Surlaenis]]. For a few months she was absent from any news of adventure or politics or criminal activity.

The next record of her comes in records of a citizenship change to [[M'riss]] and the purchase of a shack on [[Fever Point]]. This was followed by official announcements that Zai was on the Council's payroll as a tour guide and dive master, leading tourists on excursions across [[Torbis Sanhalas Bay]] and [[Belarritaco Bay]] showcasing the abundant marine and coral life and leading safaris through the jungles of [[M'riss]].

Along with her mundane jobs under the Council she was also voted onto the Board of the Fever Point Home Owner's Association which, though it has known ties to the Council seems to work as an independent criminal outfit that takes up where the Council would (publicly) rather not. Basing herself there on the Point, she made to reconnect with her old mentor Latathi but found he had been afflicted with a strange mental malady, so severe he seemed like a different person. It was fortunate, as she turned to the Warlock [[Asrion]], a former member of the [[Goose Family Crime Syndicate]] for moon mage matters.

A year and a half passed without much incident. Zai kept a low and legal profile, though there were rumors that she and [[Asrion]] were asked by the Council to cease an experiment in the [[Dunes of Despair]] that reports indicate "may have caused massive explosions in the desert that hurled a number of [[Armadillo]] as far as the jungles around the Altanen River". No evidence was accumulated against the two, though the occurrence of several [[Armadillo]] rampaging through the [[Caracal]] and [[Lun'Shele Trekhalo]] jungles is well documented.

Her seat on the FPHOA Board gave Zai an opportunity to improve her reputation with the Council of Mer'kresh without being enmeshed in their inner squabbles and to increase the role [[Fever Point]] played in the [[Qi]] smuggling trade and led to the Council offering her a position with the Kresh Portage. She accepted and began work as a Face for the Portage.

Zai held this position for over a year and her employment consisted primarily of supervising the loading and unloading of legitimate ships, dealing with ship captains, and overseeing cargo checks by the respective Portages. Within that year she began taking off-island contracts in the same capacity, primarily in [[Rivercrossing]], [[Riverhaven]], and [[Ratha]]. Periodically she would be arrested and taken into custody and fed generic questions about smuggling, errors in ledgers and manifests, suspicions of bribery, and details of [[Reshal Sea]] pirate movements.

Sometime in 406 AV she was on duty in [[Rivercrossing]] when two crates containing contraband liquor and herbs were discovered. After an anlas of questioning she was jailed for two weeks before being deported to [[Mer'kresh]]. After a small, private hearing with the Council she was placed on paid suspension and asked to keep a low profile when visiting the mainland.

While on suspension from Council employ Zai took a contract with the [[Enclave]] as a Tourism Agent and began travelling the mainland in an attempt to bring visitors to enjoy the tropical paradise of Hara'jaal. At first she was given a room in [[Var'Quel]] Manor which locked only from the outside and was completely warded from magic use. After proving herself a decently ruthless and reasonably shameless criminal she was allowed to rent a treehouse outside of the [[Enclave]] walls.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

The latter half of year 406 AV was a trying time for Atazai. In [[Mer'kresh]] the [[Allvar]] family began to apply pressure to get her to side
with them in Council matters. The Council itself was constantly calling on her to accept higher roles and more responsibility. But of these situations she resisted, and thus garnered disapproval from the Allvars.

Meanwhile, Baron [[Var'Quel]] sought to turn her completely away from M'riss and bring her into the Black Sash fleet. He threatened to seize her tree-house and her scroll stash in her room at his Manor. She renounced her Rissan citizenship and broke her last contract with the Rissan Council, and it was enough to appease the Baron for a time.

She decided she needed to simplify her life and get back to her roots; exploration of land and sea. The next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

==Atazai Coffins: Of Coons and Reefs==

In the year 410, After Victory, Atazai made minor news by purchasing the surname Coffins. The purchase created a minor stir on the mainland, as the name was purchased from the family's patriarch Hackett Coffins, husband of the infamous Gravelord [[Zerreck]] Arkarm of the [[Arkarm Crime Family]]. Details of the price paid have not been released but it has been rumored to have included a number of items or artifacts Zai recovered from the ocean waters near [[M'riss]] and [[Hara'Jaal]].

Shortly after she acquired her new surname word began spreading that she had offered herself up as a sacrifice to [[Zachriedek]], God of ill-fortune and bad luck. It wasn't long before she began mingling again with the normal populations on the mainland, especially in the town of [[Riverhaven]], and made the claim that she was a Chosen Prophet of [[Zachriedek]]. Her claims have been accepted by numerous Clerics and Paladins.

The full extent of her relationship with the [[Var'Quel]]'s, the Black Sash, and Hara'Jaal are still matters of some speculation, but it has become well known that Baron Kylan has made her the chief Ecologist of Hara'Jaal. In this capacity Zai monitors and protects the inshore waters, the beaches and near-shore waters and reefs, and the reefs along the deep water boundary where the continental shelf falls away to the oceanic abyss.

In the year 411 Mayor [[Bressail]] of [[Riverhaven]] hired Atazai on a contract by contract basis to assess the environmental state of that stretch of the [[Faldesu River]]. She was also seen in the outflow of the [[Faldesu Delta]] for three straight weeks, perhaps on contract from [[Throne City]] to assess any dredging that might be needed as a part of Throne City's upcoming rebuilding.

==Atazai: Still a Moon Magess==

Atazai was chosen to be the official Representative of the [[Progeny of Tezirah]] for the [[Moon Mage Conclaves]] of 412. She participated in the group prediction that resulted in dark visions and an attack of shadow creatures that included an as yet unknown [[Shadowy Umbral Colossus]]. She survived the Conclave and the attack.

==Description==

You are Atazai Coffins, Pit Whelp, an Elothean.<br />
You have tilted almond-shaped emerald eyes. Your deep purple-streaked black hair is long and thick, and is worn in a youthful style with a length of woven seagrass twined with ocean-hued selmor roses wound around the head to secure it. You have tanned skin.<br />
You are tall for an Elothean.<br />
You are an adult.<br />
You have a tattoo of a skeleton dancing on a bed of fiery coals on your ankle.<br />

You are in perfect deep water diving and swimming shape.<br />

You are wearing some leather clear-lensed goggles, a haralun medallion shaped like a tentacled mass surrounding a bloodmist garnet eye, a silk-covered chest harness, a shimmery diving robe of watersilk, a voluminous sea green watersilk cloak edged with tiny white seed pearls, a sea blue bag, a dive master's scythe with a thin glaes blade, a highly adjustable stargazer's sling chair, a salt-encrusted targe, a woven hemp wristlet, a sand dollar hip-chain, a coral-beaded anklet accented with green glaes sea turtles and some delicate leather sandals with narrow shell-trimmed straps.<br />

==Early Life==

Zai was born somewhere near [[Steelclaw Clan]], north of [[Shard]]. Upon seeing her pale, almost translucent eyes and deep black hair the Midwife called for the baby to be killed immediately. Her parents agreed but could not find the will to kill the infant outright, instead abandoning it deep in the fallow fields east of Shard.

Her own memories start when she was four and believed the couple raising her in the Middens were her parents. Her 'mother' was a custodian to a minor Rivercrossing importer while her 'father' cleaned horse stalls for a prominent Horse Care company. These two professions put her in contact with a wide array of people and influences, chief among which was a Gor'tog thief named Uskul who became a patron of hers. Uskul visited Crossing at least once a month to buy and sell horses and to relay information on caravan schedules, manifests, rosters, and routes to his guild.

Uskul funded the private education of a number of Middens children in an attempt to cull future leaders of the district. By age thirteen Zai figured out her 'parents' weren't her real parents but felt no need to search for them. She ran away from home and began running interference for a few gangs, always trying to play the middle and come out on top. Her refusal to either be guilded or join a criminal organization led to the Thieves Guild deporting her to the island of [[Surlaenis]].

This forced move was the major turning point in her life. Within fifteen roisaen on the island she had to knife a man who attempted to jump her, and fifteen rois later she was offered a shore gig for a pirate outfit based on [[Hara'jaal]]. The offer was interrupted by two Tribunal Dragoons who recognized one of the pirates and she was escorted to the safety of the Sentinels.

The Moon Mages of the Sentinels took her in and gave her legitimate work yet she was drawn to the underbelly of that tropical paradise. She did personal work for a time, crawling through mountains and jungle to map out as many illegal still and crop locations as possible. She gathered information on who ran the operations and who smuggled the goods off the island before setting up her own meetings with prominent local criminals.

At the age of fifteen Zai assissted a mediator in action and territory disputes between the four main criminal elements based on Surlaenis. The talks were a success to all four parties and to the local government and the mediator trickled small credit down to Zai. Just before her sixteenth birthday she was offered an off the book off the record position with the Surlaenis Moon Mage guild to gather information and carry out small tasks they could not be associated with.

Within a year she petitioned to become a Guilded Moon Mage, and though her superiors agreed she should be accepted they asked that she travel to the mainland to join, where there was more access to training for a young warrior. She didn't need any funding, but when they offered she took it, finding this a perfect chance to cut out on Surlaenis before she got pulled into its affairs any deeper.

==Atazai the Lunar Magician==

Zai was accepted into the Moon Mage guild by Guildleader [[Tiv]] in 392 AV after a long discussion over the various paths a lunar magician can take in life. Tiv gave Zai the names of a few Moon Mages he felt would be good influences for her spirit.

While on Surlaenis she had become accoustomed to periods of extremely bad luck; once in the guild she began exploring writings and theories of luck and Fate. These studies helped lead to the strong faith in Luck, and thus in the Aspect [[Zachriedek]], that she developed.

Though first centered around [[Riverhaven]] she soon began exploring the wilds nearby. After being swept down the Faldesu almost to [[Throne City]] and the inlet she began spending considerable amounts of time swimming. Before she gained her twentieth circle in the guild she was able to swim the [[Faldesu River]] and, with help, the [[Jantspyre River]].

She spent most of her early career traveling the mainland persuing magical and academic studies. During this period she maintained a good reputation in the guild as a straight flyer, having left her criminal ways behind. This lull in her spirit was ended when she met [[Latathi]], a wizard of a somewhat ill-repute for murder and anarchy. After spending a brief time in [[Mer'Kresh]] under his direction she came back to the mainland and began vigorously working her combat skills.

==Atazai the Warrior==

With no immediate desire to live in [[Crossing]] again she accepted a room from Guildleader [[Tiv]] and resisted joining the [[Crystal Hand]]. When her combat training was beginning to lag she then resisted the move to [[Reshalia]] her contemporaries were taking, instead traveling during war-time to [[Hibarnhvidar]] where she did what she could to assist the city against the armies of [[Lyras]].

After the war Zai stuck around the western province renting a room at Momma's Bed and Breakfast by the month and working with local Officials to maintain outbreaks of bucca, imps, and cave trolls. Months passed and the Coon in her guided her to the valley of Vela'tohr and His altar there. At the time there was a problem with the flora and fauna of the area, all affected by a sickly curse, so she honed her battle skills further defoliating blood-vines and maiden's tresses and obliterating cursed dryads and nyads.

During the winter of 395 a cursed clan of ogres descended on Vela'tohr intent on slaughtering everyone they could find. The onslaught was fierce and a strange infection began to spread among the defenders. The main body of defenders had come from [[Hibarnhvidar]] to aid but soon fell back to the city fearing the new disease. A small group led by the Dwarven Cleric [[Vecuto]], which included Zai and the Empath Marssi, gained stealthy access to the depths of the ogre caves and met battle with a [[Bone Elf]], his [[S'kra Mur]] apprentice, and their risen.

Though the Elf was defeated it took a great toll on Vecuto, and they found the apprentice to be a much tougher challenge than the master. Eventually the group took the S'kra woman as prisoner and set off to take her back to Vecuto's Guild in the valley. Marssi had healed the party of all physical ailments and Vecuto had cleared them of ill spiritual affects, yet on the way back to the Guild four members of the group grew fell and set upon the rest slaying half the party in an incensed rage and freeing the tempermental S'kra alchemist who spat curses fled into the wilderness.

==Atazai the Unknown Criminal==

Some months passed as she roamed the western province and when the dreams of the ocean began she felt the time came to leave. A stay in [[Shard]] did not comfort her so she made it very brief before travelling north to [[Crossing]]. As it is to many adventurers, the city was a bad influence on her.

While keeping rogue [[Forest Geni]] and [[atik'et]] populations under control she fell back into the violence and chaos of the street life. Zai joined the Magen Road Gang (an applicant alongside her trusted friend Marssi Darssi who became the Face of the Gang) filling the role of Moderator when there were workable disputes in town, keeping herself out of the illegal side of Gang operations. This gig didn't last too long; the Gang parted ways after [[House Magen]] came under scrutiny for various financial misnomers that surfaced in tax records. No connections to [[House Magen]] and the Magen Street Gang were ever verified, though the Gang seemed to have unlimited funds during their run and many of their criminal members escaped sentencing on charges of murder, racketeering, extortion, and bribery.

The Gang split up, most of the higher profile members moving south of the [[Segoltha River]] while the more common thugs integrated themselves into other [[Crossing]] criminal organizations. Atazai decided instead to move back to [[Qi'Reshalia]]. Her dreams of the ocean had gotten intense, real intense, and the mainland side of the [[Reshal Sea]] was not cutting it.

She arrived back on [[Surlaenis]] for the first time in three years, renting a bungalow on the sea cliffs over looking the Reshal. Finally her dreams settled and she found peace of mind again. The island held part of her past, so she soon found all manner of people coming to her recalling debts and favors from her teenage years. The pestering was fine at first but she was soon waking in foul moods and refusing to leave the remote cliffs. Release from these annoyances came in the form of a formal invitation to meet with certain members of the Council of [[Mer'kresh]].

==Atazai the Known Criminal==

It is assumed she accepted the Council's invitation, as she hired a caretaker for her bungalow and vanished from [[Surlaenis]]. For a few months she was absent from any news of adventure or politics or criminal activity.

The next record of her comes in records of a citizenship change to [[M'riss]] and the purchase of a shack on [[Fever Point]]. This was followed by official announcements that Zai was on the Council's payroll as a tour guide and dive master, leading tourists on excursions across [[Torbis Sanhalas Bay]] and [[Belarritaco Bay]] showcasing the abundant marine and coral life and leading safaris through the jungles of [[M'riss]].

Along with her mundane jobs under the Council she was also voted onto the Board of the Fever Point Home Owner's Association which, though it has known ties to the Council seems to work as an independent criminal outfit that takes up where the Council would (publicly) rather not. Basing herself there on the Point, she made to reconnect with her old mentor Latathi but found he had been afflicted with a strange mental malady, so severe he seemed like a different person. It was fortunate, as she turned to the Warlock [[Asrion]], a former member of the [[Goose Family Crime Syndicate]] for moon mage matters.

A year and a half passed without much incident. Zai kept a low and legal profile, though there were rumors that she and [[Asrion]] were asked by the Council to cease an experiment in the [[Dunes of Despair]] that reports indicate "may have caused massive explosions in the desert that hurled a number of [[Armadillo]] as far as the jungles around the Altanen River". No evidence was accumulated against the two, though the occurrence of several [[Armadillo]] rampaging through the [[Caracal]] and [[Lun'Shele Trekhalo]] jungles is well documented.

Her seat on the FPHOA Board gave Zai an opportunity to improve her reputation with the Council of Mer'kresh without being enmeshed in their inner squabbles and to increase the role [[Fever Point]] played in the [[Qi]] smuggling trade and led to the Council offering her a position with the Kresh Portage. She accepted and began work as a Face for the Portage.

Zai held this position for over a year and her employment consisted primarily of supervising the loading and unloading of legitimate ships, dealing with ship captains, and overseeing cargo checks by the respective Portages. Within that year she began taking off-island contracts in the same capacity, primarily in [[Rivercrossing]], [[Riverhaven]], and [[Ratha]]. Periodically she would be arrested and taken into custody and fed generic questions about smuggling, errors in ledgers and manifests, suspicions of bribery, and details of [[Reshal Sea]] pirate movements.

Sometime in 406 AV she was on duty in [[Rivercrossing]] when two crates containing contraband liquor and herbs were discovered. After an anlas of questioning she was jailed for two weeks before being deported to [[Mer'kresh]]. After a small, private hearing with the Council she was placed on paid suspension and asked to keep a low profile when visiting the mainland.

While on suspension from Council employ Zai took a contract with the [[Enclave]] as a Tourism Agent and began travelling the mainland in an attempt to bring visitors to enjoy the tropical paradise of Hara'jaal. At first she was given a room in [[Var'Quel]] Manor which locked only from the outside and was completely warded from magic use. After proving herself a decently ruthless and reasonably shameless criminal she was allowed to rent a treehouse outside of the [[Enclave]] walls.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

The latter half of year 406 AV was a trying time for Atazai. In [[Mer'kresh]] the [[Allvar]] family began to apply pressure to get her to side
with them in Council matters. The Council itself was constantly calling on her to accept higher roles and more responsibility. But of these situations she resisted, and thus garnered disapproval from the Allvars.

Meanwhile, Baron [[Var'Quel]] sought to turn her completely away from M'riss and bring her into the Black Sash fleet. He threatened to seize her tree-house and her scroll stash in her room at his Manor. She renounced her Rissan citizenship and broke her last contract with the Rissan Council, and it was enough to appease the Baron for a time.

She decided she needed to simplify her life and get back to her roots; exploration of land and sea. The next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

==Atazai Coffins: Of Coons and Reefs==

In the year 410, After Victory, Atazai made minor news by purchasing the surname Coffins. The purchase created a minor stir on the mainland, as the name was purchased from the family's patriarch Hackett Coffins, husband of the infamous Gravelord [[Zerreck]] Arkarm of the [[Arkarm Crime Family]]. Details of the price paid have not been released but it has been rumored to have included a number of items or artifacts Zai recovered from the ocean waters near [[M'riss]] and [[Hara'Jaal]].

Shortly after she acquired her new surname word began spreading that she had offered herself up as a sacrifice to [[Zachriedek]], God of ill-fortune and bad luck. It wasn't long before she began mingling again with the normal populations on the mainland, especially in the town of [[Riverhaven]], and made the claim that she was a Chosen Prophet of [[Zachriedek]]. Her claims have been accepted by numerous Clerics and Paladins.

The full extent of her relationship with the [[Var'Quel]]'s, the Black Sash, and Hara'Jaal are still matters of some speculation, but it has become well known that Baron Kylan has made her the chief Ecologist of Hara'Jaal. In this capacity Zai monitors and protects the inshore waters, the beaches and near-shore waters and reefs, and the reefs along the deep water boundary where the continental shelf falls away to the oceanic abyss.

In the year 411 Mayor [[Bressail]] of [[Riverhaven]] hired Atazai on a contract by contract basis to assess the environmental state of that stretch of the [[Faldesu River]]. She was also seen in the outflow of the [[Faldesu Delta]] for three straight weeks, perhaps on contract from [[Throne City]] to assess any dredging that might be needed as a part of Throne City's upcoming rebuilding.

==Atazai: Still a Moon Magess==

Atazai was chosen to be the official Representative of the [[Progeny of Tezirah]] for the [[Moon Mage Conclaves]] of 412. She participated in the group prediction that resulted in dark visions and an attack of shadow creatures that included an as yet unknown [[Shadowy Umbral Colossus]]. She survived the Conclave and the attack.

The Zone Map is a tool that can be used to calculate direction and distance between two different rooms. It is of primary use to Moon Mages, but has application for other systems that work over a distance like [[familiars]], gwething, the {{com|BEFRIEND}} verb, and viewing the physical scale of the world. See the [[Travel map]] for a not-to-scale overview of the major travel routes between locations.

==Basics==
===Basic Concepts===
*Each room in the game is designated as part of a "zone." These zones have been said to represent about 100 miles of distance.
*This zone designation is what is used to calculate distance and direction between any two rooms in the game.
*Everything on this page is based on player observation about how the system works. As such it is only an approximation, albeit a good one, of how distance and direction between two rooms is determined. Most of the information was gleaned from the [[Coordinate Chart]] program.
*The zones were determined primarily by triangulation using two characters and the BEFRIEND list. Confirmation of distance in many cases was done by using Locate based shifts and Moon Gating.
:''Note: Ocean squares are not included in the above map since the normal methods of finding direction and distance do not work while on ships.''

*Primarily used by the {{com|BEFRIEND}}, [[Item:Worn_and_tattered_map|treasure map]], and severe [[weather]] systems.
*Any zones in the same row or column as a given zone are said to be due north, east, south, or west of that zone.
*Any zones not in the same row or column as a given zone are said to be either northwest, northeast, southwest, or southeast of that zone.

===Distance===
*Distance between any two given zones is calculated by using the Pythagorean Theorum.
*Since the game deals in integers, the result is rounded down.
::d = floor [ sqrt ( x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 ) ] , where x is the horizontal displacement and y is the vertical displacement between the zones.
*For those who don't wish to do the math, the table on the right shows the distances in a visual format.

==Specific Uses==
===Telepathic Range===
*Telepathic items and abilities all have a maximum range given in numbers of zones:
{| class="wikitable"

| Jadeite Gweth || align="center" | 0
|-
| Kyanite Gweth || align="center" | Unlimited
|-
| Albredine Crystal Ring || align="center" |Unlimited
|-
| Colorless Albredine Ring || align="center" |Unlimited
|-
| [[Thoughtcast]] || align="center" | Unlimited based on Skill and Mana
|}

===[[Shift Moonbeam]]===

====With [[Locate]]====
*This feat is limited to a a fairly short distance. At 620 utility and 90 mana (out of 100 possible) I have shifted from Ratha to Throne City. This is two zones across the ocean. It is unclear how much the oceans affect shifing.
*Distance is calculated between your location and that of your Locate target. Your moonbeam's location does not factor in at all.
=====Shifting Oddities=====
*Shortcut: Ilaya Taipa <---> Hibarnhvidar <---> Ain Ghazal
:*Both the dock in Ilaya Taipa and the dock in the Himineldar just east of Hibarnvidar are in the same zone as Ain Ghazal, allowing a locate shift of effectively 2 to 4 zones.
*Shortcut: Throne City <---> Riverhaven, Knife Clan
:*The dock just outside Throne City is in the same zone as Riverhaven making it possible to reach these two areas via a Locate shift without needing to use the turtle and running down to Langenfirth.
*Shortcut: Muspar'i <---> Hvaral, Fornsted, Therenborough, Rossman's Landing, El'Bains Stop, Marauders
:*The docks on the Muspar'i side are in the same zone as Hvaral and Fornsted making it possible to Locate shift to and from all the listed zones.
*Shortcut: Rakash Village <---> P5 Cleric Guild, Hag's Crag, Vela'tohr Wood
:*These two zones create a quick shortcut between P2 and P5 if you can find someone to [[Locate]]-shift to.
*Shortcut: Dirge <---> Throne City
:*Easy shifting access from Throne City proper to the Crossing area.
*Shortcut: Ratha <---> Mer'kresh, M'riss, Hara'jaal
:*The permanent Moongate in Phelim's Temple on Ratha takes you directly to Taisgath putting you within Locate shift range of the above islands. Handy way to avoid a long boat trip.
*Shortcut: Knife Clan <---> Gwenalion Fens
:*Easy shifting access between Langenfirth/Therenborough and the Crossing area.
:*An alternate option is to travel to the south side of the Riverhaven Ferry.
*Barrier: Road between Shard Ranger Guild and Gryphons
:*There is a 2 zone break along this road just before arriving in gryphons that makes it harder to Locate shift across it.
:*This barrier is there even if you and your target are right at the breakpoint and can peer at eachother in the next room over.

====WIth gestures====
*Shifting by using GESTURE <direction/portal> can be done at any range.
*The distance is calculated between your location and your moonbeam's location.
*The distance is also modified by the same island factor that modifies Moongating.

===[[Moongate]]===

Swimming skill

2014-10-09T05:47:14Z

BORGHEST2:

{{UpdateDR3|Swimming ability info should be migrated into [[Athletics skill]].}}
{{Obsolete|Swimming skill no longer exists; was combined into [[Athletics skill]].}}
The '''Swimming [[page type is::skill]]''' is the [[:Category:Survival Skillset|survival skill]] that measures your ability to move through bodies of water under your own power. Large, rushing rivers like the [[Jantspyre River|Jantspyre]] or the [[Faldesu River|Faldesu]] require a fair or large amount of skill to cross safely, while more placid waters such as the [[Arthe Dale]] swimming hole are much less challenging. Still others are little more than large puddles that only get your feet wet (e.g. the little brook you wade through on your way to and from [[Wolf Clan]]). Generally, the strength of the water's current and its depth determine how difficult it is to swim in a certain area. Before taking the plunge, these can be estimated by using the command {{com|Appraise command#Direction|APPRAISE <direction>}} to study the waters in the direction you wish to travel.

'''Swimming''' also allows [[Barbarians|Barbarians]] to use their [[:Category:Barbarian Dances|Dances]] while in water.

Your success in swimming in a particular body of water depends on several factors. Besides swimming skill, your [[Strength (stat)|Strength]], [[Stamina (stat)|Stamina]], [[encumbrance]], armor [[hindrance]], and injuries play a role. Note that in earlier years swimming while encumbered would increase your learning while swimming, but this is no longer the case.

Under [[DR 3.0]], Swimming and [[Climbing skill|Climbing]] will be combined into the new {{skill|Athletics}}.

==Description==

You are Atazai Coffins, Prophet of Zachriedek, an Elothean.<br />
You have tilted almond-shaped emerald eyes. Your deep purple-streaked black hair is long and thick, and is worn in a youthful style with a length of woven seagrass twined with ocean-hued selmor roses wound around the head to secure it. You have tanned skin.<br />
You are tall for an Elothean.<br />
You are an adult.<br />
You have a tattoo of a skeleton dancing on a bed of fiery coals on your ankle.<br />

You are in perfect deep water diving and swimming shape.<br />

You are wearing some leather clear-lensed goggles, a haralun medallion shaped like a tentacled mass surrounding a bloodmist garnet eye, a silk-covered chest harness, a shimmery diving robe of watersilk, a voluminous sea green watersilk cloak edged with tiny white seed pearls, a sea blue bag, a dive master's scythe with a thin glaes blade, a highly adjustable stargazer's sling chair, a salt-encrusted targe, a woven hemp wristlet, a sand dollar hip-chain, a coral-beaded anklet accented with green glaes sea turtles and some delicate leather sandals with narrow shell-trimmed straps.<br />

==Early Life==

Zai was born somewhere near [[Steelclaw Clan]], north of [[Shard]]. Upon seeing her pale, almost translucent eyes and deep black hair the Midwife called for the baby to be killed immediately. Her parents agreed but could not find the will to kill the infant outright, instead abandoning it deep in the fallow fields east of Shard.

Her own memories start when she was four and believed the couple raising her in the Middens were her parents. Her 'mother' was a custodian to a minor Rivercrossing importer while her 'father' cleaned horse stalls for a prominent Horse Care company. These two professions put her in contact with a wide array of people and influences, chief among which was a Gor'tog thief named Uskul who became a patron of hers. Uskul visited Crossing at least once a month to buy and sell horses and to relay information on caravan schedules, manifests, rosters, and routes to his guild.

Uskul funded the private education of a number of Middens children in an attempt to cull future leaders of the district. By age thirteen Zai figured out her 'parents' weren't her real parents but felt no need to search for them. She ran away from home and began running interference for a few gangs, always trying to play the middle and come out on top. Her refusal to either be guilded or join a criminal organization led to the Thieves Guild deporting her to the island of [[Surlaenis]].

This forced move was the major turning point in her life. Within fifteen roisaen on the island she had to knife a man who attempted to jump her, and fifteen rois later she was offered a shore gig for a pirate outfit based on [[Hara'jaal]]. The offer was interrupted by two Tribunal Dragoons who recognized one of the pirates and she was escorted to the safety of the Sentinels.

The Moon Mages of the Sentinels took her in and gave her legitimate work yet she was drawn to the underbelly of that tropical paradise. She did personal work for a time, crawling through mountains and jungle to map out as many illegal still and crop locations as possible. She gathered information on who ran the operations and who smuggled the goods off the island before setting up her own meetings with prominent local criminals.

At the age of fifteen Zai assissted a mediator in action and territory disputes between the four main criminal elements based on Surlaenis. The talks were a success to all four parties and to the local government and the mediator trickled small credit down to Zai. Just before her sixteenth birthday she was offered an off the book off the record position with the Surlaenis Moon Mage guild to gather information and carry out small tasks they could not be associated with.

Within a year she petitioned to become a Guilded Moon Mage, and though her superiors agreed she should be accepted they asked that she travel to the mainland to join, where there was more access to training for a young warrior. She didn't need any funding, but when they offered she took it, finding this a perfect chance to cut out on Surlaenis before she got pulled into its affairs any deeper.

==Atazai the Lunar Magician==

Zai was accepted into the Moon Mage guild by Guildleader [[Tiv]] in 392 AV after a long discussion over the various paths a lunar magician can take in life. Tiv gave Zai the names of a few Moon Mages he felt would be good influences for her spirit.

While on Surlaenis she had become accoustomed to periods of extremely bad luck; once in the guild she began exploring writings and theories of luck and Fate. These studies helped lead to the strong faith in Luck, and thus in the Aspect [[Zachriedek]], that she developed.

Though first centered around [[Riverhaven]] she soon began exploring the wilds nearby. After being swept down the Faldesu almost to [[Throne City]] and the inlet she began spending considerable amounts of time swimming. Before she gained her twentieth circle in the guild she was able to swim the [[Faldesu River]] and, with help, the [[Jantspyre River]].

She spent most of her early career traveling the mainland persuing magical and academic studies. During this period she maintained a good reputation in the guild as a straight flyer, having left her criminal ways behind. This lull in her spirit was ended when she met [[Latathi]], a wizard of a somewhat ill-repute for murder and anarchy. After spending a brief time in [[Mer'Kresh]] under his direction she came back to the mainland and began vigorously working her combat skills.

==Atazai the Warrior==

With no immediate desire to live in [[Crossing]] again she accepted a room from Guildleader [[Tiv]] and resisted joining the [[Crystal Hand]]. When her combat training was beginning to lag she then resisted the move to [[Reshalia]] her contemporaries were taking, instead traveling during war-time to [[Hibarnhvidar]] where she did what she could to assist the city against the armies of [[Lyras]].

After the war Zai stuck around the western province renting a room at Momma's Bed and Breakfast by the month and working with local Officials to maintain outbreaks of bucca, imps, and cave trolls. Months passed and the Coon in her guided her to the valley of Vela'tohr and His altar there. At the time there was a problem with the flora and fauna of the area, all affected by a sickly curse, so she honed her battle skills further defoliating blood-vines and maiden's tresses and obliterating cursed dryads and nyads.

During the winter of 395 a cursed clan of ogres descended on Vela'tohr intent on slaughtering everyone they could find. The onslaught was fierce and a strange infection began to spread among the defenders. The main body of defenders had come from [[Hibarnhvidar]] to aid but soon fell back to the city fearing the new disease. A small group led by the Dwarven Cleric [[Vecuto]], which included Zai and the Empath Marssi, gained stealthy access to the depths of the ogre caves and met battle with a [[Bone Elf]], his [[S'kra Mur]] apprentice, and their risen.

Though the Elf was defeated it took a great toll on Vecuto, and they found the apprentice to be a much tougher challenge than the master. Eventually the group took the S'kra woman as prisoner and set off to take her back to Vecuto's Guild in the valley. Marssi had healed the party of all physical ailments and Vecuto had cleared them of ill spiritual affects, yet on the way back to the Guild four members of the group grew fell and set upon the rest slaying half the party in an incensed rage and freeing the tempermental S'kra alchemist who spat curses fled into the wilderness.

==Atazai the Unknown Criminal==

Some months passed as she roamed the western province and when the dreams of the ocean began she felt the time came to leave. A stay in [[Shard]] did not comfort her so she made it very brief before travelling north to [[Crossing]]. As it is to many adventurers, the city was a bad influence on her.

While keeping rogue [[Forest Geni]] and [[atik'et]] populations under control she fell back into the violence and chaos of the street life. Zai joined the Magen Road Gang (an applicant alongside her trusted friend Marssi Darssi who became the Face of the Gang) filling the role of Moderator when there were workable disputes in town, keeping herself out of the illegal side of Gang operations. This gig didn't last too long; the Gang parted ways after [[House Magen]] came under scrutiny for various financial misnomers that surfaced in tax records. No connections to [[House Magen]] and the Magen Street Gang were ever verified, though the Gang seemed to have unlimited funds during their run and many of their criminal members escaped sentencing on charges of murder, racketeering, extortion, and bribery.

The Gang split up, most of the higher profile members moving south of the [[Segoltha River]] while the more common thugs integrated themselves into other [[Crossing]] criminal organizations. Atazai decided instead to move back to [[Qi'Reshalia]]. Her dreams of the ocean had gotten intense, real intense, and the mainland side of the [[Reshal Sea]] was not cutting it.

She arrived back on [[Surlaenis]] for the first time in three years, renting a bungalow on the sea cliffs over looking the Reshal. Finally her dreams settled and she found peace of mind again. The island held part of her past, so she soon found all manner of people coming to her recalling debts and favors from her teenage years. The pestering was fine at first but she was soon waking in foul moods and refusing to leave the remote cliffs. Release from these annoyances came in the form of a formal invitation to meet with certain members of the Council of [[Mer'kresh]].

==Atazai the Known Criminal==

It is assumed she accepted the Council's invitation, as she hired a caretaker for her bungalow and vanished from [[Surlaenis]]. For a few months she was absent from any news of adventure or politics or criminal activity.

The next record of her comes in records of a citizenship change to [[M'riss]] and the purchase of a shack on [[Fever Point]]. This was followed by official announcements that Zai was on the Council's payroll as a tour guide and dive master, leading tourists on excursions across [[Torbis Sanhalas Bay]] and [[Belarritaco Bay]] showcasing the abundant marine and coral life and leading safaris through the jungles of [[M'riss]].

Along with her mundane jobs under the Council she was also voted onto the Board of the Fever Point Home Owner's Association which, though it has known ties to the Council seems to work as an independent criminal outfit that takes up where the Council would (publicly) rather not. Basing herself there on the Point, she made to reconnect with her old mentor Latathi but found he had been afflicted with a strange mental malady, so severe he seemed like a different person. It was fortunate, as she turned to the Warlock [[Asrion]], a former member of the [[Goose Family Crime Syndicate]] for moon mage matters.

A year and a half passed without much incident. Zai kept a low and legal profile, though there were rumors that she and [[Asrion]] were asked by the Council to cease an experiment in the [[Dunes of Despair]] that reports indicate "may have caused massive explosions in the desert that hurled a number of [[Armadillo]] as far as the jungles around the Altanen River". No evidence was accumulated against the two, though the occurrence of several [[Armadillo]] rampaging through the [[Caracal]] and [[Lun'Shele Trekhalo]] jungles is well documented.

Her seat on the FPHOA Board gave Zai an opportunity to improve her reputation with the Council of Mer'kresh without being enmeshed in their inner squabbles and to increase the role [[Fever Point]] played in the [[Qi]] smuggling trade and led to the Council offering her a position with the Kresh Portage. She accepted and began work as a Face for the Portage.

Zai held this position for over a year and her employment consisted primarily of supervising the loading and unloading of legitimate ships, dealing with ship captains, and overseeing cargo checks by the respective Portages. Within that year she began taking off-island contracts in the same capacity, primarily in [[Rivercrossing]], [[Riverhaven]], and [[Ratha]]. Periodically she would be arrested and taken into custody and fed generic questions about smuggling, errors in ledgers and manifests, suspicions of bribery, and details of [[Reshal Sea]] pirate movements.

Sometime in 406 AV she was on duty in [[Rivercrossing]] when two crates containing contraband liquor and herbs were discovered. After an anlas of questioning she was jailed for two weeks before being deported to [[Mer'kresh]]. After a small, private hearing with the Council she was placed on paid suspension and asked to keep a low profile when visiting the mainland.

While on suspension from Council employ Zai took a contract with the [[Enclave]] as a Tourism Agent and began travelling the mainland in an attempt to bring visitors to enjoy the tropical paradise of Hara'jaal. At first she was given a room in [[Var'Quel]] Manor which locked only from the outside and was completely warded from magic use. After proving herself a decently ruthless and reasonably shameless criminal she was allowed to rent a treehouse outside of the [[Enclave]] walls.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

The latter half of year 406 AV was a trying time for Atazai. In [[Mer'kresh]] the [[Allvar]] family began to apply pressure to get her to side
with them in Council matters. The Council itself was constantly calling on her to accept higher roles and more responsibility. But of these situations she resisted, and thus garnered disapproval from the Allvars.

Meanwhile, Baron [[Var'Quel]] sought to turn her completely away from M'riss and bring her into the Black Sash fleet. He threatened to seize her tree-house and her scroll stash in her room at his Manor. She renounced her Rissan citizenship and broke her last contract with the Rissan Council, and it was enough to appease the Baron for a time.

She decided she needed to simplify her life and get back to her roots; exploration of land and sea. The next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

==Atazai Coffins: Of Coons and Reefs==

In the year 410, After Victory, Atazai made minor news by purchasing the surname Coffins. The purchase created a minor stir on the mainland, as the name was purchased from the family's patriarch Hackett Coffins, husband of the infamous Gravelord [[Zerreck]] Arkarm of the [[Arkarm Crime Family]]. Details of the price paid have not been released but it has been rumored to have included a number of items or artifacts Zai recovered from the ocean waters near [[M'riss]] and [[Hara'Jaal]].

Shortly after she acquired her new surname word began spreading that she had offered herself up as a sacrifice to [[Zachriedek]], God of ill-fortune and bad luck. It wasn't long before she began mingling again with the normal populations on the mainland, especially in the town of [[Riverhaven]], and made the claim that she was a Chosen Prophet of [[Zachriedek]]. Her claims have been accepted by numerous Clerics and Paladins.

The full extent of her relationship with the [[Var'Quel]]'s, the Black Sash, and Hara'Jaal are still matters of some speculation, but it has become well known that Baron Kylan has made her the chief Ecologist of Hara'Jaal. In this capacity Zai monitors and protects the inshore waters, the beaches and near-shore waters and reefs, and the reefs along the deep water boundary where the continental shelf falls away to the oceanic abyss.

In the year 411 Mayor [[Bressail]] of [[Riverhaven]] hired Atazai on a contract by contract basis to assess the environmental state of that stretch of the [[Faldesu River]]. She was also seen in the outflow of the [[Faldesu Delta]] for three straight weeks, perhaps on contract from [[Throne City]] to assess any dredging that might be needed as a part of Throne City's upcoming rebuilding.

==Atazai: Still a Moon Magess==

Atazai was chosen to be the official Representative of the [[Progeny of Tezirah]] for the [[Moon Mage Conclaves]] of 412. She participated in the group prediction that resulted in dark visions and an attack of shadow creatures that included an as yet unknown [[Shadowy Umbral Colossus]]. She survived the Conclave and the attack.

Meanwhile, Baron [[Var'Quel]] sought to turn her completely away from M'riss and bring her into the Black Sash fleet. He threatened to seize her tree-house and her scroll stash in her room at his Manor. She renounced her Rissan citizenship and broke her last contract with the Rissan Council, and it was enough to appease the Baron for a time.

She decided she needed to simplify her life, and so she got back to her roots. Exploration or land and sea. For the next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

You are tall for an Elothean.<br />
You are an adult.<br />
You have a tattoo of a skeleton dancing on a bed of fiery coals on your ankle.<br />

You are in perfect deep water diving and swimming shape.<br />

You are wearing some leather clear-lensed goggles, a haralun medallion shaped like a tentacled mass surrounding a bloodmist garnet eye, a silk-covered chest harness, a shimmery diving robe of watersilk, a voluminous sea green watersilk cloak edged with tiny white seed pearls, a sea blue bag, a dive master's scythe with a thin glaes blade, a highly adjustable stargazer's sling chair, a salt-encrusted targe, a woven hemp wristlet, a sand dollar hip-chain, a coral-beaded anklet accented with green glaes sea turtles and some delicate leather sandals with narrow shell-trimmed straps.<br />

==Early Life==

Zai was born somewhere near [[Steelclaw Clan]], north of [[Shard]]. Upon seeing her pale, almost translucent eyes and deep black hair the Midwife called for the baby to be killed immediately. Her parents agreed but could not find the will to kill the infant outright, instead abandoning it deep in the fallow fields east of Shard.

Her own memories start when she was four and believed the couple raising her in the Middens were her parents. Her 'mother' was a custodian to a minor Rivercrossing importer while her 'father' cleaned horse stalls for a prominent Horse Care company. These two professions put her in contact with a wide array of people and influences, chief among which was a Gor'tog thief named Uskul who became a patron of hers. Uskul visited Crossing at least once a month to buy and sell horses and to relay information on caravan schedules, manifests, rosters, and routes to his guild.

Uskul funded the private education of a number of Middens children in an attempt to cull future leaders of the district. By age thirteen Zai figured out her 'parents' weren't her real parents but felt no need to search for them. She ran away from home and began running interference for a few gangs, always trying to play the middle and come out on top. Her refusal to either be guilded or join a criminal organization led to the Thieves Guild deporting her to the island of [[Surlaenis]].

This forced move was the major turning point in her life. Within fifteen roisaen on the island she had to knife a man who attempted to jump her, and fifteen rois later she was offered a shore gig for a pirate outfit based on [[Hara'jaal]]. The offer was interrupted by two Tribunal Dragoons who recognized one of the pirates and she was escorted to the safety of the Sentinels.

The Moon Mages of the Sentinels took her in and gave her legitimate work yet she was drawn to the underbelly of that tropical paradise. She did personal work for a time, crawling through mountains and jungle to map out as many illegal still and crop locations as possible. She gathered information on who ran the operations and who smuggled the goods off the island before setting up her own meetings with prominent local criminals.

At the age of fifteen Zai assissted a mediator in action and territory disputes between the four main criminal elements based on Surlaenis. The talks were a success to all four parties and to the local government and the mediator trickled small credit down to Zai. Just before her sixteenth birthday she was offered an off the book off the record position with the Surlaenis Moon Mage guild to gather information and carry out small tasks they could not be associated with.

Within a year she petitioned to become a Guilded Moon Mage, and though her superiors agreed she should be accepted they asked that she travel to the mainland to join, where there was more access to training for a young warrior. She didn't need any funding, but when they offered she took it, finding this a perfect chance to cut out on Surlaenis before she got pulled into its affairs any deeper.

==Atazai the Lunar Magician==

Zai was accepted into the Moon Mage guild by Guildleader [[Tiv]] in 392 AV after a long discussion over the various paths a lunar magician can take in life. Tiv gave Zai the names of a few Moon Mages he felt would be good influences for her spirit.

While on Surlaenis she had become accoustomed to periods of extremely bad luck; once in the guild she began exploring writings and theories of luck and Fate. These studies helped lead to the strong faith in Luck, and thus in the Aspect [[Zachriedek]], that she developed.

Though first centered around [[Riverhaven]] she soon began exploring the wilds nearby. After being swept down the Faldesu almost to [[Throne City]] and the inlet she began spending considerable amounts of time swimming. Before she gained her twentieth circle in the guild she was able to swim the [[Faldesu River]] and, with help, the [[Jantspyre River]].

She spent most of her early career traveling the mainland persuing magical and academic studies. During this period she maintained a good reputation in the guild as a straight flyer, having left her criminal ways behind. This lull in her spirit was ended when she met [[Latathi]], a wizard of a somewhat ill-repute for murder and anarchy. After spending a brief time in [[Mer'Kresh]] under his direction she came back to the mainland and began vigorously working her combat skills.

==Atazai the Warrior==

With no immediate desire to live in [[Crossing]] again she accepted a room from Guildleader [[Tiv]] and resisted joining the [[Crystal Hand]]. When her combat training was beginning to lag she then resisted the move to [[Reshalia]] her contemporaries were taking, instead traveling during war-time to [[Hibarnhvidar]] where she did what she could to assist the city against the armies of [[Lyras]].

After the war Zai stuck around the western province renting a room at Momma's Bed and Breakfast by the month and working with local Officials to maintain outbreaks of bucca, imps, and cave trolls. Months passed and the Coon in her guided her to the valley of Vela'tohr and His altar there. At the time there was a problem with the flora and fauna of the area, all affected by a sickly curse, so she honed her battle skills further defoliating blood-vines and maiden's tresses and obliterating cursed dryads and nyads.

During the winter of 395 a cursed clan of ogres descended on Vela'tohr intent on slaughtering everyone they could find. The onslaught was fierce and a strange infection began to spread among the defenders. The main body of defenders had come from [[Hibarnhvidar]] to aid but soon fell back to the city fearing the new disease. A small group led by the Dwarven Cleric [[Vecuto]], which included Zai and the Empath Marssi, gained stealthy access to the depths of the ogre caves and met battle with a [[Bone Elf]], his [[S'kra Mur]] apprentice, and their risen.

Though the Elf was defeated it took a great toll on Vecuto, and they found the apprentice to be a much tougher challenge than the master. Eventually the group took the S'kra woman as prisoner and set off to take her back to Vecuto's Guild in the valley. Marssi had healed the party of all physical ailments and Vecuto had cleared them of ill spiritual affects, yet on the way back to the Guild four members of the group grew fell and set upon the rest slaying half the party in an incensed rage and freeing the tempermental S'kra alchemist who spat curses fled into the wilderness.

==Atazai the Unknown Criminal==

Some months passed as she roamed the western province and when the dreams of the ocean began she felt the time came to leave. A stay in [[Shard]] did not comfort her so she made it very brief before travelling north to [[Crossing]]. As it is to many adventurers, the city was a bad influence on her.

While keeping rogue [[Forest Geni]] and [[atik'et]] populations under control she fell back into the violence and chaos of the street life. Zai joined the Magen Road Gang (an applicant alongside her trusted friend Marssi Darssi who became the Face of the Gang) filling the role of Moderator when there were workable disputes in town, keeping herself out of the illegal side of Gang operations. This gig didn't last too long; the Gang parted ways after [[House Magen]] came under scrutiny for various financial misnomers that surfaced in tax records. No connections to [[House Magen]] and the Magen Street Gang were ever verified, though the Gang seemed to have unlimited funds during their run and many of their criminal members escaped sentencing on charges of murder, racketeering, extortion, and bribery.

The Gang split up, most of the higher profile members moving south of the [[Segoltha River]] while the more common thugs integrated themselves into other [[Crossing]] criminal organizations. Atazai decided instead to move back to [[Qi'Reshalia]]. Her dreams of the ocean had gotten intense, real intense, and the mainland side of the [[Reshal Sea]] was not cutting it.

She arrived back on [[Surlaenis]] for the first time in three years, renting a bungalow on the sea cliffs over looking the Reshal. Finally her dreams settled and she found peace of mind again. The island held part of her past, so she soon found all manner of people coming to her recalling debts and favors from her teenage years. The pestering was fine at first but she was soon waking in foul moods and refusing to leave the remote cliffs. Release from these annoyances came in the form of a formal invitation to meet with certain members of the Council of [[Mer'kresh]].

==Atazai the Known Criminal==

It is assumed she accepted the Council's invitation, as she hired a caretaker for her bungalow and vanished from [[Surlaenis]]. For a few months she was absent from any news of adventure or politics or criminal activity.

The next record of her comes in records of a citizenship change to [[M'riss]] and the purchase of a shack on [[Fever Point]]. This was followed by official announcements that Zai was on the Council's payroll as a tour guide and dive master, leading tourists on excursions across [[Torbis Sanhalas Bay]] and [[Belarritaco Bay]] showcasing the abundant marine and coral life and leading safaris through the jungles of [[M'riss]].

Along with her mundane jobs under the Council she was also voted onto the Board of the Fever Point Home Owner's Association which, though it has known ties to the Council seems to work as an independent criminal outfit that takes up where the Council would (publicly) rather not. Basing herself there on the Point, she made to reconnect with her old mentor Latathi but found he had been afflicted with a strange mental malady, so severe he seemed like a different person. It was fortunate, as she turned to the Warlock [[Asrion]], a former member of the [[Goose Family Crime Syndicate]] for moon mage matters.

A year and a half passed without much incident. Zai kept a low and legal profile, though there were rumors that she and [[Asrion]] were asked by the Council to cease an experiment in the [[Dunes of Despair]] that reports indicate "may have caused massive explosions in the desert that hurled a number of [[Armadillo]] as far as the jungles around the Altanen River". No evidence was accumulated against the two, though the occurrence of several [[Armadillo]] rampaging through the [[Caracal]] and [[Lun'Shele Trekhalo]] jungles is well documented.

Her seat on the FPHOA Board gave Zai an opportunity to improve her reputation with the Council of Mer'kresh without being enmeshed in their inner squabbles and to increase the role [[Fever Point]] played in the [[Qi]] smuggling trade and led to the Council offering her a position with the Kresh Portage. She accepted and began work as a Face for the Portage.

Zai held this position for over a year and her employment consisted primarily of supervising the loading and unloading of legitimate ships, dealing with ship captains, and overseeing cargo checks by the respective Portages. Within that year she began taking off-island contracts in the same capacity, primarily in [[Rivercrossing]], [[Riverhaven]], and [[Ratha]]. Periodically she would be arrested and taken into custody and fed generic questions about smuggling, errors in ledgers and manifests, suspicions of bribery, and details of [[Reshal Sea]] pirate movements.

Sometime in 406 AV she was on duty in [[Rivercrossing]] when two crates containing contraband liquor and herbs were discovered. After an anlas of questioning she was jailed for two weeks before being deported to [[Mer'kresh]]. After a small, private hearing with the Council she was placed on paid suspension and asked to keep a low profile when visiting the mainland.

While on suspension from Council employ Zai took a contract with the [[Enclave]] as a Tourism Agent and began travelling the mainland in an attempt to bring visitors to enjoy the tropical paradise of Hara'jaal. At first she was given a room in [[Var'Quel]] Manor which locked only from the outside and was completely warded from magic use. After proving herself a decently ruthless and reasonably shameless criminal she was allowed to rent a treehouse outside of the [[Enclave]] walls.

In the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden, 406 AV, the suspension was lifted and the Council reinstated her as a Face and shipping Inspector while commending her handling of the incident.

==Atazai: Out of Work==

The latter half of year 406 AV was a trying time for Atazai. In [[Mer'kresh]] the [[Allvar]] family began to apply pressure to get her to side

She decided she needed to simplify her life, and so she got back to her roots. Exploration or land and sea. For the next four years were spent in constant camping and travel. Without citizenship, and always with a way back to Hara'jaal, Atazai fell out of public visibility once more.

A sinister Maelshyvean hierophant surges with a bloody crimson aura as a writhing ebony tentacle lashes out of its robes and strikes out at you!

The caps on this creature seems VERY high. -Moderator [[User:Caraamon|Caraamon Makdasi]]<sup>([[User talk:Caraamon|talk]])</sup> 20:38, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

From personal experience I'd say this critter effectively caps at 650, but ymmv.

After 3.0 the spells changed. So far I've only identified strange arrow and huldah's pall, the others fail against my Lay Ward spell so I don't know what they are yet. -[[User:Tenike|Tenike]]

Compared to how they were listed, 700-800, they have been downgraded quite a bit. They are teaching combats fine in the mid 600's but evasion (highest combat) is locking slower with Hierophants than it does in Resuscitants. 630 evasion, 550 shield, no buffs, they get low class attack messages almost every swing. "In a weak and directionless display of aggression", "Ineptly", all of those. I'll try and get someone in the 500's to come down with me, but right now I am going to edit them to 550-700.--[[User:BORGHEST2|BORGHEST2]] ([[User talk:BORGHEST2|talk]]) 12:32, 5 June 2014 (CDT)
