Player suggestions for Crafting

MOTHRA: minor typos

Spawning from [https://discord.com/channels/619301383451181075/619364324233838593/1010010554892558376 This post by GM Zadraes on the official Discord] Binu and I (Mahtra) collated the suggestions that players made in that thread, we cleaned them up, re-worded and merged them. The Impact Rating field is entirely subjective, based on our opinion at the time this page is created. Where possible, names of those who suggested were kept, unless multiple people suggested the same/similar things.

|-
| Nideya || Increase access to, and availability of rare materials || low - "would be nice if" || all ||
|-

|-
| Mahtra || Enchanting could do with a speed brazier template. Enchanting could do with not requiring sigil farming (which is extremely painful at the top tiers) The sigil minigame is neat and all, but punishing too. || low - brings braziers in line with other tools that have speed and quality templates || Enchanting ||
|-
| Multiple people || RT reductions (with commensurate rewards reductions?) || low - this would just be nice to have at this stage || all ||
|-
| Scrounger || Custom recipe books so we can scribe commonly used patterns and not need to carry all books around all the time. || low - This could be an awesome MT item... || all ||
|-
| Multiple people || Carving lockpicks brought into Engineering || medium - Thief lockpick carving is a wasted "class" thing at the moment. || Engineering ||
|-
| Malkien || Carreer/Hobby reset option || medium - QoL for incomplete systems || all ||
|-
| Multiple people || Add secondary sigils to enchanting societies || high - allows progression of training || Enchanting ||
|-
| Multiple people || Add herbs to societies: Blue Flowers, Hulij Leaves, Dioica Sap, Belradi Moss, qun pollen (also normalize blue/red flowers across all societies) || high - allows progression of training || Remedies ||
|-
| Inneth || Sigil gathering whilst invisible please || high - necros are locked out of the system altogether || enchanting ||
|-
| Binu/CU || Craftable consumables (pins, oil, lotion, stain, hilts, etc). These not being master crafted causes problems with the higher tier templates combined with low workability materials. || high - high tier recipes are impossible without || multiple crafts ||
|-
| Binu/CU || Separate registers (or sections in the main register) for leather, cloth, bone, stone, wood, and metal. || medium - Akin to other games having crafting dedicated containers || multiple crafts ||
|-
| Binu/CU || Allow crafting of Mortars, bellows, clamps, bowls, and any tool a player may need for crafting || High - some items can be hard to find, raising the barrier of entry into these professions || Remedies, forging ||
|-
| Multiple people || Herb to cure disease. Combo herbs for wounds the way we have cebi and hisan for scars." || High - Help necros out here || Remedies ||
|-
| Multiple people || Do something with advanced marks. Maybe an automated system for people to choose "custom" marks like 2021 HE's gift? || low - This might be a neat TT by itself, but in terms of things broken in crafting... this is low priority || Forging ||
|-
| Multiple people || Allow re-use/combine crafting materials. Stone, bone, leather, cloth || Medium - This is extremely frustrating, especially for rarer materials. So much wastage. || Carving/Tailoring ||

Murrula's Flames quest walkthrough

2022-06-11T20:14:21Z

MOTHRA:

{{spoilers}}
Given by: Father [[Karjon]] in the church of [[Tiger Clan]]

The original version of this walkthrough was put together by Renkxil and reformatted by Dasffion. It was copied to Elanthipedia from the now shuttered DRSecrets website.

===Requirements===
To obtain this spell you need the following:
* 30 Charisma
* 35 Discipline
* [[Item:Holy oil|Holy oil]]
* a feather from the Crossing cleric shop
* 13 altar candles and a way to light them
* holy water
* a decent amount of devotion

===Recommendations===
You need to be able to hit the [[bony fylgja]]. In general, this requires at least a 24 mana cast of [[Harm Horde]] or 45 mana cast of [[Harm Evil]] with a minimum of 35 discipline. After reading the tome (step 3), you will be randomly ambushed by [[bony fylgja]]. If you can kill them outside the void, then you will be fine on the quest. If you can't kill them, find someone to teach you Targeted Magic and guard you while you work on the below. Here are some things you can do to improve your chances of hitting:

* Have a 270 minimum average of Holy Magic and Targeted Magic
* Pick up the Targeted Mastery [[Magical feats|magical feat]]
* [[Cleric_3.0#Alignment|Align]] to a god to get a Targeted Magic bonus
* Use [[Time of the Red Spiral]] to boost your [[Harm Evil]] or [[Harm Horde]] spells
* Get a Moon Mage [[prediction]] on Targeted Magic and/or Holy Magic
* Adjust your {{com|SPELLS}} {{tt|STANCE 100 70 130}}

Other recommendations for the quest include:

* Using [[Major Physical Protection]] and [[Shield of Light]] with an evasion/shield stance give you the best chance to avoid being hit
* Cast [[Protection from Evil]] and [[Minor Physical Protection]] just in case you are hit
* Cast [[Persistence of Mana]] before entering the void to help with mana-intensive casting
* OM will discharge when going through the portal, so don't rely on it for POM, or other spells.

===Walkthrough===
# Talk to Father Karjon in the {{rmap|4a|church of Tiger Clan}}. He's hard to miss. {{com|ASK}} {{tt|Karjon about Murrula's Flames}} and he'll give you a key.
# Head down to the dark spirits (use [[Divine Radiance]] as a light source), and you'll find a room that has a pile of rotting timbers in it. Look for the pile that looks "oddly different". Push on the timbers until the trap door appears. {{com|UNLOCK}} it with the key, {{com|OPEN}} and {{com|GO}} {{tt|trap door}}.
# {{com|Open}} {{tt|tome}}. {{com|READ}} {{tt|tome}}. {{com|Turn}} {{tt|tome}} to change pages and continue reading until the end. There is heavy [[Roundtime|RT]] here, but the area is safe.
# Head to the death spirit area in the {{rmap|60|Forest of Night}} north of Leth Deriel. You may enter through [[Silverclaw Hub]] at any time of day. Begin to {{com|SAY}} {{tt|Findylis}} in every room of the death spirit area.
# Findylis will take you to her tree and talk to you for a while then ask you to kill and raise a dryad.
# Get your holy oil and your feather then head back to the blood dryad and nyad spot. Kill a dryad, cast soul bonding on it, {{com|DIP}} {{tt|feather in holy oil}}, {{com|MARK}} {{tt|dryad with feather}} and then [[Resurrection|raise]] it. If your devotion level is too low, you won't be able to complete this step. Wait for the newly risen dryad to leave the area before heading back to Findylis, or she will not recognize that you completed her task.
#*''MAKE SURE YOU SOUL BOND THE DRYAD.'' If you don't it'll raise a corrupted dryad that will kill you.
# Head back to the same spot and say Findylis again. Here, she will give you a speech, and then ask you to climb her tree and "Master the Echos."
# Climb the tree and {{com|LISTEN}}. Various random musics will start to echo. Each time a type of music plays, it will be a favored type of an aspect of Faenella. Idon (heron), is all drums and percussions. Faenella (wren) is all harps and stringed instruments. Murrula (phoenix) is all flutes and woodwinds. {{com|TOUCH}} the figures who correspond to the music. After you touch the figures enough times correctly a long sequence will begin, and you will receive an egg.
#*You only need to listen once, even if prompted to listen again later.
#*Wait until an egg appears on the altar and pick it up.
# Go down and talk to Findylis again. She will tell you to have the immortals cast their benevolent gaze down upon you, etc. Head to the Crossing Temple.
# The rest of this sequence must be completed in a timed window, or your phoenix will turn back into an egg and you will have to restart at this point. Make sure you have six uninterrupted hours of time on hand.
# Buy thirteen {{ilink|i|altar candle}}s from a cleric shop or the cart-monk on the temple grounds. Head up to the Eyes of the Thirteen and put a lit candle in each of the candlestick next to each of the Thirteen's altars. Once they're all lit hurry down to the {{rmap|2|High altar}} and put your egg on it. If all the candles are still lit, the egg will "hatch" a statue of a phoenix.
# Clean the phoenix with some holy water. It should read something about the starry road. This means, its off to the {{rmap|31a|Zaulfung}} swamp again!
#*Apparently if you do not clean the phoenix at the altar it won't message, but you will be able to complete the quest so long as the phoenix is clean.
# Go to the greater Zaulfung swamp and go to the area on Ranik's map marked "Beak" (lich 10860) (room name: [Zaulfung, Aldauth's Maw]) and climb it.
#*If your climbing skill is lacking, ask a Ranger to cast [[Athleticism]] upon you. 150 Athletics was enough to not need the buff.
# Go all the way down, go all the way north, and climb the crevice. Go up, and climb the spire (rm93-genie). When you get to the top {{com|PUT}} {{tt|phoenix in spire}}. After a short sequence, a portal will open. Get the phoenix from the spire and go through the portal.
#*Once you enter you will not be able to use any of your inventory. Cast [[Persistence of Mana]] before entering the void.
#*Don't drop your phoenix while in the Starry Road. If you do and it disappears, you will be stuck requiring GM intervention.
# Now, you're back in the void. Thirteen total [[bony fylgja]] will spawn each holding a carving for a triptych; kill the bony fylgjas and get the carving that they drop. Affix the carving to the triptych of where that aspect of the god is missing (map with god grouping hints: https://imgur.com/a/nBfxYyZ). For example, if a shark drops, put it on the triptych with the albatross and dolphin, and so on. See the recommendations above for Targeted/Holy Magic and spell cast mana requirements. Suffice to say, if you have the minimum recommended requirements it will take hours to kill them all.
#*You will be naked while in the void, so it is necessary to constantly {{com|RETREAT}} when you are engaged. Shield/Evasion stance with [[Shield of Light]], [[Protection from Evil]], and [[Minor Physical Protection]] will help prevent being one-shot if you do get hit. The safest approach is to not let anything get to melee range. It is rumored to require 500 evasion to avoid getting hit without retreating.
#*There are random stuns in this area that may drag you off to another room or knock you to the ground. BE CAREFUL!
#*RECOMMENDATION: If you have [[Harm Horde]], try to group up multiple bony fylgja in one room and kill them together to save time.
# Once you place all the triptychs, a nebulous rift will open randomly. Go into the nebulous rift.
#*The rift jumps around the area. If you are having trouble finding it stand in the center room and wait for it to come to you.
# A long sequence will happen. Go to the lake, put the phoenix on the monolith, and study it. It will take a while, but keep going. Once you do that, another long sequence, you'll die, and be reborn. Congratulations, the spell is yours.
#*You will use one favor whenever Murrula's Flames triggers, including this first time.

|status=r

}}
[[Category:Player Celestial Compact]]
<br>
<br>

==Description==

You see '''Skaen S'kursk''', a [[S'kra Mur]].<br>
You have slitted Grazhir-white eyes, white scales with a pale silver underbelly and a slender tail.
You are archaic.<br>
You have a tattoo of ominous black symbols on your shoulder.<br>

You are wearing some burnt umber sharmiit'mhhg scalene robes belted with tel'athi links, a silver wirework and pale moonstone sur'nidrel, a coiled bronze clockwork viper pin with slitted topaz eyes, a sleek scalene satchel dyed in graduated grey tones, a smooth black tourmaline ru'at bracelet, some runesmith's gloves branded with cabalistic sigils, a thin animite band prominently displaying a Hekemhhg lazuli, some polished thin-edged zills with silvered esoteric filigree and some fitted shadowy black sandals with detailed straps.

==Alterations==
*some runesmith's gloves branded with cabalistic sigils <br />

*an uaro's'sugi of desert-tan Musparan silk <br/>

*some burnt umber sharmiit'mhhg scalene robes belted with tel'athi links <br />
:Subtly ridged to give the impression of scales across the outer layer, the garment is hemmed with geometrically stylized beaded wood violets and white chrysanthemum embroidery. Interlocking cobras of verdant metal loosely belt the waist of the flowing fabric.

*a sickle-bladed parang with a khor'vela hilt
:Delicate yellow enameled khor'vela blossoms are inlaid in a cascading pattern down the flat of the sharply curved silver-black blade. The severe drop point has a beveled spine to enhance the deadly slicing edge without compromising strength. A simple finger quillon slopes into the hilt of deeply polished khor'vela wood, emphasizing the luster of fine grey woodgrain that is peppered with undigested crystallized bone. The initials "C. M." are impressed into the surface of the metal.

*a silver wirework and pale moonstone sur'nidrel
:The finely woven silver wire delicately embraces an oval moonstone that curves to follow the ridges above the right eye. Dancing S'Kra picked out in shallow bas-relief cavort asymmetrically across the face of the iridescent milky-white stone.

*a cloak pin worked in strangely warped orichalcum
:Complex geometrical formulae pointing toward elementary moongate symbols are cunningly wrought in fine reddish gold wirework upon the cloak pin. The mathematical symbols become twisted and distorted in artistic rendition of the various components of the Moongate spell.

*a weathered beisswurm backpack embroidered with a faded seal of the Celestial Compact
:Originally worked in black thread with silver highlights, the embroidered seal has faded to shades of grey.

*a smooth black tourmaline ru'at bracelet
:The inky, opaque gemstone fades into a pure white circular inclusion. The nebulous circle surrounds a pitch-black sphere nestled in the heart of the band, bearing a striking similarity to the malevolent darkness of the planet Szeldia complete with glowing corona.

*a hornbilled glaes shh'oi'ata
:The provocative curve of the murky twilight glaes hornbill bladed axe head smoothly falls from haft to the nearly translucent cutting edge of the shh'oi'ata. Impressed into the sharply spiked rear punch are the initials, "C.M.". Along the lengthy two-handed Khor'vela wood haft are carved the thick coils of a hooded cobra, curling up to rest it's head upon the axe's shoulder. Serpentine grey scales inlaid with viridian jungle turquoise ring the handle's grips.

*a slim yardstick featuring precise tel'athi-inlaid markings and numerals
:Adroitly inset in the measuring instrument, grass-hued metal divides the flexible but sturdy tool into clearly marked sections allowing the user to make exact calculations. Ingenious hinges allow the item to be neatly folded up for easier storage.

Expertise skill

2022-04-08T04:47:56Z

MOTHRA:

{{RTOC}}'''Expertise''' is the [[guild association is::Barbarian]]-only [[page type is::skill]]. This skill represents the ultimate combat mastery that barbs have.

==Spells and abilities that boost Expertise==
{{#ask:[[Boosts::Expertise skill]]
|?guild association is
|format=ul
|headers=hide
|default=None
}}

==Spells and abilities that decrease Expertise==
{{#ask:[[Debuffs::Expertise skill]]
|?guild association is
|format=ul
|headers=hide
|default=None
}}

==Training==
Expertise is learned from either using [[Combat Maneuvers#Advanced Combat_Maneuvers|Advanced Combat Maneuvers]] (ACM), which will train Expertise no matter the level of the critter you are hunting, or Barbarian Combat Maneuvers (BCM), known as self analyzes, which will only train Expertise if the critter will train the weapon you are using.<br/>
ACM attacks are now instantaneous and no longer have a charge up time.

==Barbarian Combat Maneuvers==
Barbarians now have a unique form of Tactical Combat that uses Expertise instead of the Tactics skill. These BCMs are self-only, cannot be refreshed and give a selective bonus when finished. Each form of ANALYZE unlocks with more Expertise skill.

:{{com|ANALYZE}} <type>
:Barbarians can analyze the specific type (listed below) to begin a self combo. If you forget the combination required, you can ANALYZE <Your Name> to see what attacks are still required to complete the combo. These combinations work very similar to Tactics-based analyze combat maneuvers, except they use Expertise skill and do not require hitting your target to complete the combo. BCMs do not have a strength, and subsequent ANALYZE attempts will be wasted. It is possible to ANALYZE FLAME, ACCURACY, DAMAGE, INTIMIDATION, FATIGUE, BALANCE, VITALITY, RAGE or CALM.<br/><br/>
End Messaging if you do not complete the combo in time: "The battle shifts away from you, ruining any tactical openings you were attempting to exploit."<br/>

Analyze command

MOTHRA:

{{Command
|rp=No
|combat=Yes
|magic=No

|guild=Barbarian
|description=Gather information about crafted items, use in combat to cause a temporary penalty to a type of defense, or used by Barbarians to begin a self combo.
|messaging='''ANALYZE <weapon/armor/crafted item>'''

'''ANALYZE (<engaged enemy>)'''

<u><b>Barbarians</b></u><br />
'''ANALYZE <type>'''
}}
{{RTOC}}
==Game Helpfile==
<pre>ANALYZE <crafted item>
It is possible to analyze crafted items to determine their properties. Depending on your appraisal and crafting skill a person may identify the maker, difficulty of the item, ingredients used, enhancements applied and more.

ANALYZE <unfinished crafted item>
During crafting a person may ANALYZE unfinished items to identify what further actions are required required, and what problems may need correcting.

ANALYZE <engaged enemy>
ANALYZE may also be used on an engaged enemy to attempt a tactical combo. Tactical combo success depends on the user's Tactics skill and require a certain number of moves be performed within a short amount of time. If done a large penalty is applied to the enemy's combat prowess. Additional ANALYZE attempts on the enemy will increase the size of the penalty when the combo is completed, and increase the time allowed to complete it.</pre>

==Crafted Items==
* This command will provide detailed information, including such things as the item's maker. The amount of information provided is based on a count that is invisible to players. The counter is based off the user's own experience at the forge, with items of the same skill as the object having greater weight in the contest.
* For project that reside on a tool while being worked, analyze defaults to analyzing both tool and project with a combined roundtime. You may specify the name of the item being crafted to analyze the in-progress item by itself.
* Some [[techniques]] improve the ability to analyze.

===Levels of Success===
Greatest:<br/>

*You analyze every minute detail of the <''item''> and smile knowingly to yourself.
Craftmanship, difficulty, relative crafter ability, volume, mark<br/>
*You analyze every aspect of the <''item''> and nod as your understanding grows.
Craftmanship, difficulty, relative crafter ability, volume, mark<br/>
*You deeply analyze the <''item''> and pour over its construction.
Craftmanship, difficulty, crafter ability, volume<br/>
*You thoroughly analyze the <''item''>, revealing some of its secrets.
Craftmanship, difficulty, relative crafter ability, durability(tools) <br/>
*You analyze the <''item''> and learn more about its construction.
Craftmanship, difficulty<br/>
*You roughly analyze the <''item''> and make a few observations.
Craftmanship<br />
*You try to analyze the <''item''>, but are unable to discerne hardly anything about it.
Only what it will be when finished/what it is(condition if tool)
<br />

==Combat==

* In combat, this command will provide information on what next combat move(s) should be landed on the creature you are fighting in order to cause a temporary penalty to a type of defense. See [[combo]] for more details.
* Tactical combo success depends on the user's Tactics skill and require a certain number of moves be performed within a short amount of time. If completed, a large penalty is applied to the enemy's combat prowess. Additional {{tt|analyze}} attempts on the enemy will increase the size of the penalty when the combo is completed, and increase the time allowed to complete it.
* Using {{tt|analyze}} without a target in combat works as above, but defaults to the creature you are facing. It requires you to be engaged with at least one enemy, and can apply a variety of effects and effect levels.

==Barbarians==

* Barbarians can analyze themselves to begin a self combo. These work very similar to enemy combos, except they use Expertise skill and can only be advanced by the Barbarian while engaged. Self combos do not have a strength, and subsequent {{tt|analyze}} attempts will be wasted. It is also possible to {{tt|analyze flame}}, {{tt|accuracy}}, {{tt|damage}}, {{tt|intimidation}}, {{tt|fatigue}}, {{tt|balance}}, {{tt|vitality}}, {{tt|rage}}, or {{tt|calm}}.
* This has been referred to as 'analyze self' whereas the typical combat analyze is 'analyze other'.

@Imerald asked me a question over the weekend about bardic screams, and I put it on my list to look at today. His question was.. what are the contests?? Most spells and abilities get released without details like that, but over time players are able to suss it out. That hasn't really happened with screams. Can we know what they do?!

So I looked at it today.. and I couldn't tell. Bardic screams are handled a bit differently than other abilities in that they use special combat attack mechanics (the same mechs that creatures use). I am not skilled enough with the code to follow it through all of those rabbit holes.. but @[[Zadraes]] is! He spent quite a while today digging into it for me.

I present to you:<br>
defiance<br>
-- Initial: (Buffed) charisma is contested against a 1-100 random to determine if you break the stun or not.<br>
-- Pulses: Similar contest, but not as in-your-favor as the initial one.<br>
-- Gets a barrier-like effect to reduce incoming damage for a time -- both a % reduction based on your mojo and then a cap that effectively eliminates low-level damage.

havoc<br>
-- (Buffed) bardic lore with a charisma-based buff (every 5 charisma = 1% bonus) is "attacker's" skill<br>
-- weapon template: impact > puncture > slice || weakest 'impact' of havoc/dissonance/concussive<br>
-- can be evaded, cannot be parried, can be shield blocked, reflex aids the defender, armor doesn't matter and damage isn't done<br>
-- inflicts a balance hit based on how successful the 'hit' was<br>
-- hits that are strong enough can push back engagement range<br>
-- hits that are really strong can knock the target prone<br>
-- if already at missile range, the intent is for it to do an additional balance hit, but GSL math may be buffing their balance instead?

dissonance<br>
-- (Buffed) bardic lore with a charisma-based buff (every 5 charisma = 1% bonus) is "attacker's" skill<br>
-- weapon template: impact > puncture > slice || strongest 'impact' of havoc/dissonance/concussive<br>
-- can be evaded, cannot be parried, can be shield blocked, reflex assists defender, armor helps, damage is done<br>
-- if it hits, it does damage using combat's damage-dealing utility and has a bonused chance to stun the target

concussive<br>
-- (Buffed) bardic lore with a charisma-based buff (every 5 charisma = 1% bonus) is "attacker's" skill<br>
-- weapon template: impact > puncture > slice || middle 'impact' value of havoc/dissonance/concussive<br>
-- can be evaded, cannot be parried, can be shield blocked, reflex aids defender, armor helps, does damage<br>
-- if it hits, it does damage using combat's damage-dealing utility, can stun but not a bonused chance

... now, here you might say "Dissonance?! What the heck is dissonance?!" Well, apparently there's another scream in there that hasn't been released! Once again Zadraes to the rescue. Stand outside and type SCREAM HELP!

@Bard

== Scream Dissonance learned ability messaging ==
An exasperated curly-haired Halfling dashes up to you. She pants heavily trying to recover her breath for several moments. At last, she says, "You would NOT believe the trip I had to find you! Macfrae sent me with a message and a lesson..."

She continues, "As an experienced Bard, hopefully familiar with the guild's screaming techniques, a subtle adjustment to apply dissonant tones to the concussive force of a scream can inflict some nasty head wounds, maybe even enough to momentarily stun your foe!"

She stands awkwardly for a moment, then shrugs and says, "That was it. That was all Macfrae wanted me to convey. Maybe it'll mean something to you." With that, she turns and dashes away once again.

Bardic scream

2022-03-18T03:32:10Z

MOTHRA: /* Dissonance */

{{RTOC}}
After centuries of isolation, the [[Ru'atin Peri'el]] agreed to teach Bards some of what they had preserved of the ancient art of using the voice as both a weapon and a means to focus themselves to accomplish amazing feats. Such an action is not without its price, however. The scream draws from your own [[Bardic_Mojo|inner reserve of strength]], and using it without sufficient cause may leave you too drained to use it or other abilities when you truly do need them

With their superior vocal training, Bards are able to focus their voices to do some extraordinary tasks. Bardic Screams are taught by the Guild and provide a variety of tools to aid the Bard in whatever situation they may come across.

==Syntax==
*{{com|scream}} {{tt|<bardic scream>}}:
:example: {{tt|scream}} {{tt|havoc}}

==Concussive==
* Available upon joining the [[Bard]] guild.
* Basic damage-dealing attack that scales similarly to [[throwing blade]]s.
* Teaches {{skill|Bardic Lore}}, (some) {{skill|Performance}}, and {{skill|Melee Mastery}}.
* 10 second re-use timer.
* (Buffed) Bardic Lore with a [[Charisma]]-based buff (every 5 charisma = 1% bonus) is "attacker's" skill.
* Weapon template: impact > puncture > slice<br>(Middle 'impact' value of havoc/dissonance/concussive.)
* Can be evaded, cannot be parried, can be shield blocked, [[Reflex]] aids defender, armor helps, does damage.
* If it hits, it does damage using combat's damage-dealing utility, can stun but not a bonused chance.

==Havoc==
* Available upon joining the [[Bard]] guild.
* Wave of sound that can unbalance the target or knock them back.
* Chance of knockdown as well if the target loses too much balance.
* Teaches {{skill|Bardic Lore}}, (some) {{skill|Performance}}, and {{skill|Melee Mastery}}.
* 15 second re-use timer.
* (Buffed) Bardic Lore with a [[Charisma]]-based buff (every 5 charisma = 1% bonus) is "attacker's" skill.
* Weapon template: impact > puncture > slice<br>(Weakest 'impact' of havoc/dissonance/concussive.)
* Can be evaded, cannot be parried, can be shield blocked, [[Reflex]] aids the defender, armor doesn't matter and damage isn't done.
* Inflicts a balance hit based on how successful the 'hit' was.
* Hits that are strong enough can push back engagement range.
* Hits that are really strong can knock the target prone.
* If already at missile range, the intent is for it to do an additional balance hit, but GSL math may be buffing their balance instead?

==Defiance==
* Taught at 32nd circle by any [[Bard#Guild_Hall_Locations|Guild Leader]].
* {{com|ASK}} {{tt|<Guild leader> FOR SCREAM}}
* Short duration defense/utility buff that will do the following:
** Attempts to remove a stun, each pulse, which is random based on [[charisma]] (high enough charisma can virtually negate the chance to fail)
** Helps the Bard maintain a minimum of solid balance if not completely prone in combat.
** Reduces incoming damage by both a percentage and a flat amount (can reduce incoming damage to 0), based on the bard's mojo.
* The duration of the ability is based on {{skill|Performance}}.
* Can be used while stunned, webbed, or otherwise immobile.
* You will no longer go hoarse from use but you will lose [[Bardic_Mojo|Mojo]], and thus effectiveness.
* No justice check for disturbing the peace.
* Requires and uses [[Bardic_Mojo|Bardic Mojo]]
* Teaches only {{skill|Bardic Lore}}.
* 70 second re-use timer for experience yield.
* Initial: (Buffed) [[Charisma]] is contested against a 1-100 random to determine if you break the stun or not.
* Pulses: Similar contest, but not as in-your-favor as the initial one.
* Gets a barrier-like effect to reduce incoming damage for a time -- both a % reduction based on your mojo and then a cap that effectively eliminates low-level damage.

==Dissonance==
* (Buffed) Bardic Lore with a [[Charisma]]-based buff (every 5 charisma = 1% bonus) is "attacker's" skill.
* Weapon template: impact > puncture > slice<br>(Strongest 'impact' of havoc/dissonance/concussive.)
* Can be evaded, cannot be parried, can be shield blocked, reflex assists defender, armor helps, damage is done
* If it hits, it does damage using combat's damage-dealing utility and has a bonused chance to stun the target
* 20 second re-use timer.

|summary=A group of adventurers set off in a diplomatic mission to the Spire, expecting little and prepared for battle instead. To their surprise, on their arrival, they were invited into the Temple of the World Dragon within to meet with [[Suulnir]], a priestess claiming to be spiritual advisor to the Dragon Emperor, [[Ael'tharaxus]]. Many questions were asked, most expertly evaded, including questions of her unusual favor, the "glory" the Priests hope to attain, her claims that [[Bards]] are no longer the Priests' enemy, and the strange noises coming from deep below. Ultimately, she was attacked by [[Raikage]], after which point she asked everyone to leave, which they did peacefully.

The voice of an ancient crone echoed through the area, "Your blood will feed the stones!" There was then a loud thud, and a number of stones in the floor and walls suddenly receded. The stones shifted around with a loud rumble, and a series of clicks emanated from behind the masonry. After that, though, there was only silence.

It also had a wire that pulsated in sequence, and it flashed in a sequence of repeating colors. Oddly, there were times when slight deviations appeared in the patterns, for example dropping a color in the flashing sequence. When [[Navesi]] tried singing back the tonal sequence, it gave a loud chirp and changed the sequence. When she tried again, it buzzed loudly, and shortly thereafter exploded.

He believes that the custodians are now a little faster and stronger and "some of their prime functionality appears slightly more independent." He also made it clear that he doesn't believe the portal to Zengmodaleth is their primary means of accessing the Plane of Abiding, and that these invasions are not the fault of any adventurers or the opening of the portal. More discussion was had about experiments that could be done to learn more.

The result was an Aetheric Anomaly that presented as a curiosity to many of the mages present, who each had his or her own perception of its nature. Some theorized it was a portal to the Plane of [[Aether]], though it killed those who entered it. Over the course of a few weeks or months, the anomaly slowly shrank until it disappeared.

Ru'atin Peri'el

2021-09-20T03:06:03Z

MOTHRA: /* Historic Members */

Originally formed in [[Reshalia]] by High Priest of Peri'el [[Maligen]] Shanati, the Ru'atin Peri'el are comprised entirely of female [[S'Kra Mur]]. The group is sometimes referred to as the Sisterhood, the Sisters of Peri'el, the Daughters of Peri'el, the Singers of Peri'el, and the Circle of Peri'el. Note - There is no direct Common translation of the word ru'at, nor the word for those within it (ru'atin). The Sisters are primarily [[Cleric]]s and [[Bard]]s, though there are historic notes proving that others are accepted as well. The group's purpose is to strengthen and aid [[Peri'el]] in her eternal task of keeping the [[World Dragon]] asleep. Entry into the sisterhood is noted to be difficult, even more so in modern days due to their reclusive nature.

==Origins==
The first [[Reshalia|Reshalian]] King, [[Sarkhhl]] Smoneh is noted to have ordered the creation of the Ru'atin Peri'el after he sought answers from the High Priest of [[Hav'roth]] and was told that the earthquakes plaguing Reshalia were due to the World Dragon. The priest told the king that Peri'el must be weakening from her thousands of years spent keeping the creature captive. When the priest returned to his order to confer over a way to stop the earthquakes, it was High Priest Maligen that suggested the mortals help.

Maligen commanded the [[Cleric]]s to seek out other female S'Kra Mur of the priestly and bardic persuasions that venerated Peri'el. Once they had been gathered, Maligen resigned from her positions as High Priestess of Peri'el and became instead, the First Singer or Ur'Kapo([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|First Song]]). Thus, the group was formed around a singular purpose: strengthen and aid the goddess Peri'el in her efforts to keep the World Dragon asleep. The sisters utilized their divine inner strength and powerful voices to sing the songs of the goddess and enhance and supplement her powers.

Once the tale was returned to King Sarkhhl, Maligen and the first of the Ru'atin Peri'el went to Reshalia Island and formed the first Great Sanctuary.

==Location==
For many ages, the Sisters had Great Sanctuaries located throughout [[Kermoria]]. This changed when the [[Dragon Priest (Cult)|Dragon Priests]] of the [[Dragon Priest Empire]] and their leader, [[Dzree]] sought to eradicate them. ([[Dzree]] herself had in her youth, failed to pass the entry examination to become one of the singers.) As a result of the persecution, the only surviving enclave of the singers is found in [[Aesry Surlaenis'a]].

==Positions and Septs==
;Ur'Kapo Peri'el ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|First Song Peri'el]])
The Sisters are led by the First Singer of Peri'el. She is responsible for cultivating the order and serves as the lifeline between the Sisters and Peri'el.

The Ur'Kapo leads the most challenging rituals and the most powerful songs.

;Sara'pon Peri'el ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Voice Peri'el]])
The Voice of Peri'el are those that have earned the Ru'atin the vaunted reputation as the greatest singers. Entry requirements into the Voice are much more daunting.

Most of the rituals of the Sisters are performed by this division, such as The Songs of Renewal and Sustaining are carried out by the Voice of Peri'el.

;Shh'oi Pohokapo ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Great Lady Song]])
The Great Lady of the Song is both a title used to reference Peri'el herself and a distinguished and devout Daughter of her Sept. The Shh'oi Pohokapo is seen as a leader and model for the Sept.

The Shh'oi Pohokapo play a part in the ritual communes of prospective members.

;Pohokapo ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Lady of Song]])
Those within a Sept that have risen above the rank of Kapo.

;Kapo Peri'el ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Song Peri'el]])
The general members of the group are known as Song of Peri'el. The Kapo are both the initiates and those who attend to the most basic chores and tasks. They deal with the society outside the Sisters, provide aid and comfort to the sick and the poor, take in and raise lost orphans, and seek to gain information from the outside.

This division of the Sisters also performs many lower level rituals, such as those songs which do not require the greatest level of skill.

;Qi Peri'el ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Soul Peri'el]])
A subgroup only rumored to exist within the order, this group is said to be mixed into the other groups. The Soul of Peri'el are supposedly charged with the duty of stopping anyone who would seek to wake the World Dragon or harm Peri'el.

===The Four Septs===
;Tuul ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Silver]])
Often quiet and shy, the gentlest of the Ru'atin hold the soprano. They wear robes of silver bordered in black and a circlet of violets.

The Pohokapo of Tuul wears a coiled kingsnake circlet of silver.

;Tan'yi ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Copper]])
The most devoted to Peri'el's music, they play a wide variety of instruments and are singer of the alto line. Those of Tan'yi that are most devoted are rumored to hear the Voice of the goddess more than others. hey wear robes of copper bordered in black and a circlet of violets.

The Pohokapo of Tan'yi wears a coiled kingsnake circlet of copper.

;Malk ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Gold]])
Embodying Peri'el's legendary honor, they revere most the virtues of the tail. Singing the powerful tenor line, they are the proudest of the Ru'atin, and often serve as lawmakers. They wear robes of gold bordered in black and a circlet of violets.

The Pohokapo of Tuul wears a coiled kingsnake circlet of gold.

;Dai ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Steel]])
Valorous warriors, they hold the bass line with a low, rhythmic chant. These warriors have figured in to many battles and their valor is unmatched. They wear robes of steel grey bordered in black and a circlet of violets.

The Pohokapo of Tuul wears a coiled kingsnake circlet of steel.

==Joining the Ru'atin==
There are four ways in which to join the Ru'atin Peri'el:

* Be personally selected by the Ur'Kapo. Those who demonstrate utterly remarkable talents or a strong devotion will often be offered a place.
* Pass the First Test. The first test is only available to a daughter of a member of the Ru'atin Peri'el. This test is known to be the easiest and any daughter will be granted admission should she possess even the slightest aptitude, especially if they are the fourth daughter of a fourth daughter. These daughters are thought of as a divine sign and generally possess the greatest talents.
* Pass the Second Test. This test is only available to orphans who were taken in and raised by the Sisters. It is more difficult than the first, but slightly less strenuous than the final test.
* Pass the Third Test. This test is for those outside of the Ru'atin Peri'el and lacking connection to it, their test is the most difficult of all.

Entry into the Ru'atin begins with a ritual commune. The prospective acolyte travels to a cave deep below the surface of the earth. There, she is cleansed and blessed by the Shh'oi Pohokapo and garbed in robes of white. The petitioner will begin to sing, placing her passion and will into the song. If Peri'el accepts her, she colors the robes, simultaneously accepting her as Ru'atin and placing her into a Sept.

==Practices==
===Accoutrements===
;Brown velvet ribbon or small leather bag filled with earth.
:Many Ru'atin carry or wear these to retain their connections to Hav'roth.
;Small velvet pouch holding the saran'pon'hhs Peri'el
;Pendant with three beads
:Beads of gold, ivory, and iron to represent Hav'roth, Peri'el, and Ushnish are commonly carried by all septs and ranks. It is also common to include a contemplation bag with this pendant.
;Contemplation bag
:A small soft leather satchel filled with sand, sage leaves, dried cactus, and cinnamon. When inhaled, this compound is thought to enhance meditation.
;Songbook
:Commonly kept in a leather satchel.
;Kingsnake ring
:The most noticeable of the accoutrements, it is a slender golden snake that coils around the second largest finger of the right hand. It is presented by the Ur'Kapo upon entry.
;Gold tail jewelry
:The jewelry may be gifts from the devotee's family, while others are given as awards of prestige and become part of everyday wear. The Dai often forgoes jewelry and will instead only wear a wide, flat band of gold unless an affair requires ceremony.
;Other accessories
:Circlet of violets, herb bag, bone-beaded sandals.

===Offerings===
* Peri'el is said to appreciate sage leaves, which are burned on a cleansed brazier and dedicated to her with prayer.
* She also accepts sacrifice from successful hunts and these offerings are often created into a meal and used to feed the poor. A portion of herbs used in the meal is then sacrificed upon an altar. The Ru'atin do not approve of sacrificing an animal or solid food to the goddess, instead holding the belief that Peri'el would wish any food to go to the hungry and not be burned on her altars.

===Ograth Smo'kku'par ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Hand Together]])===
A unique form of ceremonial singing, "hands together" is a duet performed by a main singer called syo'kapo ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|main song]] and a companion singer called fe'kapo ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|companion song]]). The singers will sit closely side by side or facing each other such that their bodies remain in contact and they are able to clasp each others hands. Often, the pair will sit close enough that their knees will touch. While singing, they will move their heads in a swaying motion, as if wanting to touch them together as well.

The singing is shared in such as way that when the main singer has brought a verse to about the third syllable from the end, or last measure, and the supporting singer comes in with her voice, and thus both complete the phrase. Then the second singer repeats the verse alone in a slightly varied way and tone. The main singer alone adds the next text, similarly repeated by the supporting singer, and so on until the song's conclusion

===Songs===
;Songs of Renewal and Sustaining
:Powerful songs that resound with those of Peri'el.
;Praise Song
:An ancient tradition and the founding force of the Ru'atin, this rite is performed at dawn on the Day of Praise by twenty-four total priestesses - six from each of the sept. It is a four-part harmony that can be performed in a smaller group if the faith is great and the parts are divided evenly.
:The Praise Song serves as a conduit to the uninitiated and is not among the most sacred rituals, thus is not performed in the ograth smo'kku'par style.

===Instruments===
;Khurmary ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Breath's journey]])
:The Breath's journey is a small five-stringed lap harp. It is the most common form of communion and is both traditional and the most used instrument for Ru'atin rituals.
;Saran'pon'hhs Peri'el ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Goddess Voice]])
:The Goddess Voice is a steel flute roughly a handspan in length. It possesses a high, mellow sound with a celestial roundness. Use of this flute has grown in popularity. The Tan'yi shun the use of the more modern instrument as untraditional and even somewhat vulgar, at least as performed in a ritual; the sweetness of the instrument is nearly universally revered.

Ru'atin Peri'el

2021-09-20T03:04:52Z

==Joining the Ru'atin==
There are four ways in which to join the Ru'atin Peri'el:

* Be personally selected by the Ur'Kapo. Those who demonstrate utterly remarkable talents or a strong devotion will often be offered a place.
* Pass the First Test. The first test is only available to a daughter of a member of the Ru'atin Peri'el. This test is known to be the easiest and any daughter will be granted admission should she possess even the slightest aptitude, especially if they are the fourth daughter of a fourth daughter. These daughters are thought of as a divine sign and generally possess the greatest talents.
* Pass the Second Test. This test is only available to orphans who were taken in and raised by the Sisters. It is more difficult than the first, but slightly less strenuous than the final test.
* Pass the Third Test. This test is for those outside of the Ru'atin Peri'el and lacking connection to it, their test is the most difficult of all.

Entry into the Ru'atin begins with a ritual commune. The prospective acolyte travels to a cave deep below the surface of the earth. There, she is cleansed and blessed by the Shh'oi Pohokapo and garbed in robes of white. The petitioner will begin to sing, placing her passion and will into the song. If Peri'el accepts her, she colors the robes, simultaneously accepting her as Ru'atin and placing her into a Sept.

==Practices==
===Accoutrements===
;Brown velvet ribbon or small leather bag filled with earth.
:Many Ru'atin carry or wear these to retain their connections to Hav'roth.
;Small velvet pouch holding the saran'pon'hhs Peri'el
;Pendant with three beads
:Beads of gold, ivory, and iron to represent Hav'roth, Peri'el, and Ushnish are commonly carried by all septs and ranks. It is also common to include a contemplation bag with this pendant.
;Contemplation bag
:A small soft leather satchel filled with sand, sage leaves, dried cactus, and cinnamon. When inhaled, this compound is thought to enhance meditation.
;Songbook
:Commonly kept in a leather satchel.
;Kingsnake ring
:The most noticeable of the accoutrements, it is a slender golden snake that coils around the second largest finger of the right hand. It is presented by the Ur'Kapo upon entry.
;Gold tail jewelry
:The jewelry may be gifts from the devotee's family, while others are given as awards of prestige and become part of everyday wear. The Dai often forgoes jewelry and will instead only wear a wide, flat band of gold unless an affair requires ceremony.
;Other accessories
:Circlet of violets, herb bag, bone-beaded sandals.

===Offerings===
* Peri'el is said to appreciate sage leaves, which are burned on a cleansed brazier and dedicated to her with prayer.
* She also accepts sacrifice from successful hunts and these offerings are often created into a meal and used to feed the poor. A portion of herbs used in the meal is then sacrificed upon an altar. The Ru'atin do not approve of sacrificing an animal or solid food to the goddess, instead holding the belief that Peri'el would wish any food to go to the hungry and not be burned on her altars.

===Ograth Smo'kku'par ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Hand Together]])===
A unique form of ceremonial singing, "hands together" is a duet performed by a main singer called syo'kapo ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|main song]] and a companion singer called fe'kapo ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|companion song]]). The singers will sit closely side by side or facing each other such that their bodies remain in contact and they are able to clasp each others hands. Often, the pair will sit close enough that their knees will touch. While singing, they will move their heads in a swaying motion, as if wanting to touch them together as well.

The singing is shared in such as way that when the main singer has brought a verse to about the third syllable from the end, or last measure, and the supporting singer comes in with her voice, and thus both complete the phrase. Then the second singer repeats the verse alone in a slightly varied way and tone. The main singer alone adds the next text, similarly repeated by the supporting singer, and so on until the song's conclusion

===Songs===
;Songs of Renewal and Sustaining
:Powerful songs that resound with those of Peri'el.
;Praise Song
:An ancient tradition and the founding force of the Ru'atin, this rite is performed at dawn on the Day of Praise by twenty-four total priestesses - six from each of the sept. It is a four-part harmony that can be performed in a smaller group if the faith is great and the parts are divided evenly.
:The Praise Song serves as a conduit to the uninitiated and is not among the most sacred rituals, thus is not performed in the ograth smo'kku'par style.

===Instruments===
;Khurmary ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Breath's journey]])
:The Breath's journey is a small five-stringed lap harp. It is the most common form of communion and is both traditional and the most used instrument for Ru'atin rituals.
;Saran'pon'hhs Peri'el ([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|Goddess Voice]])
:The Goddess Voice is a steel flute roughly a handspan in length. It possesses a high, mellow sound with a celestial roundness. Use of this flute has grown in popularity. The Tan'yi shun the use of the more modern instrument as untraditional and even somewhat vulgar, at least as performed in a ritual; the sweetness of the instrument is nearly universally revered.

Ru'atin Peri'el

2021-09-20T03:03:52Z

MOTHRA: /* Origins */

Originally formed in [[Reshalia]] by High Priest of Peri'el [[Maligen]] Shanati, the Ru'atin Peri'el are comprised entirely of female [[S'Kra Mur]]. The group is sometimes referred to as the Sisterhood, the Sisters of Peri'el, the Daughters of Peri'el, the Singers of Peri'el, and the Circle of Peri'el. Note - There is no direct Common translation of the word ru'at, nor the word for those within it (ru'atin). The Sisters are primarily [[Cleric]]s and [[Bard]]s, though there are historic notes proving that others are accepted as well. The group's purpose is to strengthen and aid [[Peri'el]] in her eternal task of keeping the [[World Dragon]] asleep. Entry into the sisterhood is noted to be difficult, even more so in modern days due to their reclusive nature.

==Origins==
The first [[Reshalia|Reshalian]] King, [[Sarkhhl]] Smoneh is noted to have ordered the creation of the Ru'atin Peri'el after he sought answers from the High Priest of [[Hav'roth]] and was told that the earthquakes plaguing Reshalia were due to the World Dragon. The priest told the king that Peri'el must be weakening from her thousands of years spent keeping the creature captive. When the priest returned to his order to confer over a way to stop the earthquakes, it was High Priest Maligen that suggested the mortals help.

Maligen commanded the [[Cleric]]s to seek out other female S'Kra Mur of the priestly and bardic persuasions that venerated Peri'el. Once they had been gathered, Maligen resigned from her positions as High Priestess of Peri'el and became instead, the First Singer or Ur'Kapo([[S'Kra Mur Lexicon|First Song]]). Thus, the group was formed around a singular purpose: strengthen and aid the goddess Peri'el in her efforts to keep the World Dragon asleep. The sisters utilized their divine inner strength and powerful voices to sing the songs of the goddess and enhance and supplement her powers.

Once the tale was returned to King Sarkhhl, Maligen and the first of the Ru'atin Peri'el went to Reshalia Island and formed the first Great Sanctuary.

==Location==
For many ages, the Sisters had Great Sanctuaries located throughout [[Kermoria]]. This changed when the [[Dragon Priest (Cult)|Dragon Priests]] of the [[Dragon Priest Empire]] and their leader, [[Dzree]] sought to eradicate them. ([[Dzree]] herself had in her youth, failed to pass the entry examination to become one of the singers.) As a result of the persecution, the only surviving enclave of the singers is found in [[Aesry Surlaenis'a]].

The First Land Herald/439-04-05

MOTHRA:

{{FLH
|author=Navesi
|date=04/05/21
|gamedate=439-04-05
|headline=Dragon Priest Suulnir Speaks
|article=Yesterday, I rallied the [[Bard]]s and our allies for an attempt at diplomacy with the [[Dragon Priest (Cult)|Dragon Priest]]s. I will admit, when Ayrell proposed speaking peacefully with our ancient enemy, the very one who so recently made a pointed attempt on my life in the sanctum of my guild ([[The First Land Herald/437-09-10|see the Herald article from 437-09-10]]), my blood boiled. However, I have come to respect her dedication to diplomacy and acknowledged that we might at least learn something we could use against our foe. With some Bards voicing agreement and others calling for blood, we came to a compromise: attempt diplomacy first, but make preparations for the battle that would almost certainly ensue.

To our surprise, the [[S'Kra Mur]] who met us, the Ecclesiarch [[Suulnir]], offered peaceful discussion and made no moves to attack us, inviting us instead into the Temple deep within the [[Black Spire]], with its altar carved into the maw of a Dragon. Grudgingly, those present gave voice to their curiosity and stayed their hands. We began by allowing [[Ayrell]] to speak without interruption, and as time grew on and we realized that a true opportunity presented itself, Ayrell stepped back and everyone engaged with Suulnir in an orderly session of questions and answers.

Suulnir first claimed that she represented a new faction of Dragon Priests, one with a "unified purpose." Those who attacked Aesry and the Bard guild were, according to her, of the "old vanguard," and have now "come around to [her] way of thinking," and those who specifically attacked the Bards were no longer "intact." She would later confirm that she does not view the Bard guild as an enemy. However, she denied being the Dragon Priests' leader, saying that the title of Emperor belonged to the Dragon, Ael'tharaxus -- though she would not speak his name. "I am, simply, one who preaches a new way."

About her new way, she gave some hints without saying much. "It has taken thirty years for the [[Ael'tharaxus|Dragon]] to come to full ascendance. His brilliance has given us the largest hope of all, and thus unified purpose. The deaths of [[Hhrsaraa]] and of [[Tenebraus]] were a setback to some, undoubtedly. We have taken the better part of three decades to recover from the fragmentation. But with every setback comes an opportunity. An opportunity to establish a new order among the servants of the Dragon. And the Emperor has finally established himself on a unified throne that stretches an Empire that claims territory from the gates of [[Raven's Point]] to the [[Nirefrei River]], and to [[Steelclaw Clan]]. For the first time in nearly four decades, we have a singular goal. The breeding pits again twist with life. The assassins have sharpened their blades. And now, our Emperor brings us guidance and hope. The children of the Dragon will usher in a new era of enlightenment that you will be honored to witness."

She would later clarify some about this era of enlightenment, saying, "We have a glorious unified purpose -- the creation of something new, something beautiful. A new dawn of reborn magic the likes that have only been seen by the [[Shunned]]. Glorious creation will be wrought, and you will behold the works of new magic that we shall manifest something both brilliant and divine." When Ayrell probed if the glory would be peaceful, she responded, "This glory is not of conquest, no." When asked of [[Necromancy]], she replied, "It is strictly holy, and divine, not some filth to be polluted by demons," and later also stated that the Emperor would not "sully himself" in pursuit of the divine fire himself.

She also clarified that they do not intend to wake the [[World Dragon]], and that the [[Immortals]] will remain "precisely where they are." Nothing would change in relation to our relationship with our Immortals. [[Zamara]] told me later that Suulnir privately revealed to her that the Dragon may also be accepting of followers outside the S'Kra Mur. She also said to Zamara that "the powers of the divine were intriguing when harnessed away from the Immortals."

When I asked what was the need for blood, for which grooves are so clearly built into their altars, Suulnir said, "We have rites that we must maintain, lest we lose our focus." We probed her further on the the tapestry nearby, which reads, "Blood brought the World Dragon forth. Blood will sustain it. Blood will bring the World Dragon forth once again. Those who give themselves freely to the World Dragon will rejoice when the dynasty resumes in cleansing fire." To this she said, "If you also read the tapestry, it states quite clearly that the blood is given willingly. Blood is given to the Divine." Zamara later told me that, before we arrived, she witnessed Suulnir offer both a lizard and a mouse on the altar. They did not glow or vanish as offerings to the Immortals do, though.

Amazingly, Suulnir also claimed to offer the same peace that [[Ael'tharaxus]] offered Ferdahl [[Aemmin]]. "The promise of peace remains. Even here in the Spire, we have kept the word of the Emperor. Much as the Emperor promised we would not attack the city, we have not. I cannot, naturally, speak for all who serve the Dragon, given the schism after the death of Hhrsaraa. But I counter that we have expectations as well, ones that I feel the Dragon did not adequately communicate. Simply, we reserve the right to defend ourselves using any means we see fit, and no wall will stop us, especially not one that simple ruffians could bypass." However, she refused to formalize this treaty, claiming to be simply a spiritual advisor, so I formally requested to meet with the Emperor on behalf of the Bards. Who knows what will come of that.

Mother Whiteburn had the insight to probe the Mur's aura and discovered that she carries "the mark of the divine, in the form of favor." She asked the priestess about this and from which of the Immortals it originated, but Suulnir only said that she did not follow [[Peri'el]]. When later Mother [[Whiteburn]] obtained permission to examine her more thoroughly using the [[Cleric]]al chalice artifact, she discovered that, despite the favor Suulnir carries, none of the Thirteen have granted it. She reads much as one who has obtained favor from the Triquetra or the Great Pack.

[[Angel]] was granted permission to perceive Suulnir as well, and she reported that [[:Category:Holy magic|Holy magic]] clings to her, and that she was ensorcelled with a number of spells: [[Mental Focus]], [[Tranquility]], [[Refresh]], [[Psychic Shield]], [[Sure Footing]], [[Ethereal Shield]], [[Ghost Shroud]], [[Ease Burden]], and [[Lay Ward]]. Curiously, these spells come from several different schools, and I never witnessed anyone casting on her -- most seemed to expire around the same time, too, which brought upon her a strange appearance of disconnection, her mien troubled for a moment. I further questioned Zamara, the one person I knew to speak with her before the group arrived, and she confirmed that she too did not cast upon her.

During our conversation, we noticed more than once a strange grinding noise coming from within the corridors of the Spire, as if a large creature were sliding through hallways much too small for its body in the lower chambers of the citadel. When asked about it, Suulnir replied, "What, you begrudge me my pets? Perhaps one day you will meet them. They are quite lovely; we are working on ensuring that it (sic?) has adequate space."

The talk was cut short by one adventurer known for claiming to be a Dragon Priest, [[Atuen]]. He insulted Suulnir for "succumbing" to us, after which [[Raikage]] leaped out and slew her. Curiously, her corpse trembled, writhing as if propelled by a larger force. A golden serpent rose from her ashes, drawing her back to life. Zamara later told me that she thought she almost saw wings upon the serpent, though I did not see any. Atuen and Raikage were repaid for their actions with consuming naphtha, fired and ignited by sentinels who slipped from the shadows. These were shortly followed by a full unit of armed Dragon Priests.

With a gesture, Suulnir appeared to bring calm. She allowed for us to leave in peace, then, which we did. Though not without more questions than answers.

Bards, we have much to discuss. We will be gathering soon. By the lute and fist, we remember.

MOTHRA: /* Wolf */

{{Spoilers}}

===Raccoon===
If you meet the requirements you can get your very own useless ball off fluff, by doing the following:
*Find some [[Foraging Compendium|corn]], this can be foraged year round in certain locations. Outside [[RanikMap31|ranger tent]] in Haven and [[RanikMap4|clearing]] near the goblin brook are two easy places to find it.
*Travel to [[RanikMap61|Leth Deriel]]. You want to go to the SW most room outside the SE Gate of Leth.
*PUT (yes the syntax matters) the corn on the ground.
*Hide and wait.
*When a baby raccoon comes out of the bushes and starts to eat the corn, APPROACH raccoon.
*Repeat until it does not run away form you, then '''quickly''' SIGNAL RACCOON TO JUMP.
**There are hawks in this room that will eat baby raccoons on the ground.
**Feeding the hawks is endless fun, particularly after you've lost your 20th companion to stupid game mechanics.

===Wolf===
*Acquire some milk. You can buy this in shops or find it in certain places for free on food tables.
*Travel to the cougar area near [[RanikMap5|Wolf Clan]].
*Travel to the room with the trail to climb into ogre area (farthest west from center of cougar area). Lich: 1516 or Genie: 103.

Daytime room desc:

{{RoomDescription|roomname=Dense Forest
|desc=Stray beams of sunlight filter down through the dense, leafy trees, turning the floating dust motes into dancing fairies. The ground rises to the west, and turns rockier, the trees thinning out a bit in the less fertile soil.<br>You also see a steep trail.<br>Obvious exits: east.}}
*While holding the milk, kneel and wait.
*If you meet the requirements, you will receive the following messaging: From nowhere, a wolf pack appears and stops to catch its breath. One of the wolves looks at you and almost seems to smile.
*When the wolf pack appears, APPROACH it.
*Messaging for successful approach: One of the wolf cubs timidly moves towards you while its mother looks on. After a moment the pack moves on while leaving the cub here.

:''[[Kssarh]] slams the book he was reading when you spoke to him and glares at you. "Now look. I've watched you start off as a runt in this guild and work your way up through the ranks. Don't get a big head because I could still demolish you with my pinky!" He pauses, pondering you with uncharacteristic calm, then quietly says, "Still, I'm proud of you. It's time you headed to [[Taisgath]] to learn what it really means to be a Moon Mage."

==Optional: Visit Lomtaun==
;This step is entirely optional.

Travel now to [[Taisgath]] and visit [[Lomtaun]] near the top of the guild tower located on the island.

;>ask [[Lomtaun]] about training
:''[[Lomtaun]] looks up expectantly as you speak to him. "Fate has led you here." He takes several dice from within his robe and begins to roll them curiously along the mosaic. "Time and time again, the dice come up the same. It is as Fate decrees for all Moon Mages, and thus it is now decreed for you. Upon this isle, you will find an entry to a place few dare to go -- a place where the defining lines between the Plane of Probability and the Plane of Abiding are weakest. It is within that place that you will travel, to learn the deeper meaning of what it is to be a Moon Mage. When the three moons are in the sky, seek this understanding, and return here or to another Guildleader to claim your rightful destiny."

=Actually Doing the Quest=
[[Yavash]], [[Xibar]], and [[Katamba]] must all be risen and present in the sky.

;Okay, but how long do I have to wait for this?
:This seems to happen around every eight real life days. When it happens, it will happen several times before they fall out of sync again.

==Moons Are Up?==
Great, go back to Taisgath and travel into the deepest bowels of the [[RanikMap90d|Subterranean Depths]], to the spot labeled on the map as "Arch". (Genie Room #61)

;The Correct Room
<blockquote>[Subterranean Depths, Flooded Cavern]<br>
The water here pools like a silent onyx lake, broken only by the sounds of the incessant dripping that reverberate hollowly around the chamber. At the western edge, a series of worn stone steps lead up from the water's surface to a carved archway bearing three colored stones.<br>
Obvious exits: east.</blockquote>

Once here, perform the following steps:
;EXAMINE ARCH
:''The carved archway is completely sealed, blocked by tightly mortared chunks of basalt. An interesting sigil is carved right in the center, but time has defaced it and made it illegible.

;EXAMINE STONE
:''The stone is square and inset in a similarly shaped opening in the wall. A glistening coating of deep crimson covers the stone, and a simple sigil of some sort is carved in its front-most side.

;PUSH STONE
:''You push a crimson stone into the wall. It settles into place with a solid thunk.<br>Roundtime: 12 seconds.
:Note - It's perfectly okay if your messaging says azure or basalt.

;PUSH OTHER STONE
:''You push an azure stone into the wall. It settles into place with a solid thunk.<br>Roundtime: 12 seconds.
:Note - It's perfectly okay if your messaging says crimson or basalt.

;PUSH THIRD STONE
:''You push a basalt stone into the wall. It settles into place with a solid thunk.<br>The stones blocking the carved archway suddenly melt away in a ripple of light and shadow.<br>Roundtime: 12 seconds.
:Note - It's perfectly okay if your messaging says azure or crimson.

;GO ARCH
:''You reach out and touch the carved archway. A wave of disorientation washes over you briefly, but soon passes. You find yourself in...''
<blockquote>[Subterranean Abditory, Hall of the Artifact]<br>Though spared from the flood that has overtaken the tunnels, this room still suffers from the kind of dampness that permeates the surrounding rock. Shelves holding rotting books line the walls, which have been carved smooth and square. Amidst the useless and forgotten artifacts, however, one object is untouched by both time and moisture. Floating amid this wreckage of knowledge, gently spinning in the precise center of this ancient hall, is a spherical metal artifact. You also see a carved archway.<br>Obvious exits: none.</blockquote>

=The Artifact=
In the Hall of the Artifact, your goal is to have all copper nodules on the artifact depressed and no longer sparking. You achieve this by utilizing the following commands with the artifact.

===LOOK / EXAMINE ARTIFACT===
This will tell you your effective location on the artifact. This will be important for ensuring all nodules are depressed. You should LOOK after each PUSH, PULL, or TOUCH.

;Example
:The artifact floats eerily in the air. Its surface is made of an assortment of various metal plates, including bronze and silver. A ring of eight copper nodules encircles the device, but only four are visible at a time from any one side. Flashing blasts of azure and crimson arc between these nodules regularly.

:Two of the copper nodules are pushed in, but still spark with blue and crimson light.
:One of the copper nodules appears to be depressed, no longer sparking with blue and red light.
:One of the copper nodules protrudes out of the spherical device, sending sparks of azure, crimson and black flinging through the air.

In the example above, the top line of ''Two of the copper nodules are pushed in, but still spark with blue and crimson light.'' relates to your location. When it says ''One'' on the first line, then you are at a location you can use TOUCH.

;The Finished LOOK
:Four of the copper nodules appear to be depressed, no longer sparking with blue and red light.

Note - If you have LOOKed at the ARTIFACT and see ''Four of the copper nodules appear to be depressed, no longer sparking with blue and red light.'' but your TOUCH did not also result in ''The metal artifact begins to hum softly.'', then you must PUSH or PULL the artifact and find the remaining nodules.

===PUSH / PULL ARTIFACT===
These commands will move your location along the artifact. You can use both or you can use only one. Again, LOOK is the command that will be useful. :Tip - If you use PUSH(or PULL) twice without changing the command, you will likely note that the positions of the nodules has changed. This is because there are two "sides" to the artifact. PUSH(or PULL) a third time and you will be back on the "first" side.

;Examples
:You push the metal artifact, rotating it to the right.<br>Roundtime: 2 seconds.
:You pull the metal artifact, rotating it to the left.<br>Roundtime: 2 seconds.

===TOUCH ARTIFACT===
This command is how you manipulate the copper nodules. Each time you are at a location that has ''One copper nodule..'' and does NOT state that it is no longer sparking, then you should TOUCH the artifact. ALWAYS LOOK ARTIFACT after you do this. Sometimes, you can do it twice without using PUSH/PULL.

;Examples
:Successful TOUCH - You lay your hand on the artifact.<br>The depressed nodule on the artifact suddenly stops sparking.<br>With a rapid series of solid thunks, the copper nodules reorganize as some pop out and some suddenly retract.<br>Roundtime: 3 seconds.
;Unsuccessful TOUCH - You lay your hand on the artifact.<br>None of the nodules react.<br>Roundtime: 2 seconds.

;The Final TOUCH
:You lay your hand on the artifact.<br>The depressed nodule on the artifact suddenly stops sparking.<br>With a rapid series of solid thunks, the copper nodules reorganize as some pop out and some suddenly retract.<br>''The metal artifact begins to hum softly.''<br>Roundtime: 3 seconds.

===FOCUS ARTIFACT===
This command is the last one you use. Once you have depressed all of the copper nodules with TOUCH and received the messaging for The Final Touch, you may now FOCUS ARTIFACT. If you try to do so before you finish depressing them all, you will receive a failure message.

;Failure
:You focus your magical senses on a spherical metal artifact.<br>A burning sensation rises up your arms and into your body.<br>You sense an incredibly powerful and complex matrix within the artifact, but it is masked by the sparking of energy from the copper nodules.<br>You learn nothing.<br>Roundtime: 15 seconds.
;Success
:You focus your magical senses on a spherical metal artifact.<br>A burning sensation rises up your arms and into your body.<br>You sense an incredibly powerful and complex matrix within the artifact, which is a beautiful example of Lunar energy.<br>Formula and theory race through your mind, and you suddenly gain an inkling of the binding forces of the cosmos.<br>Roundtime: 15 seconds.

Congratulations, you're done! Go back to your guildleader, or Lomtaun, and ask about training / EXP again.

:''[[Lomtaun]] notices as you approach him, and before you can say a single word, begins to speak. "I foresaw this moment and I knew when you were sent to find the artifact, what the series of events that would happen thereafter would bring. My predictions were true, as Fate would will, for within your eyes I see that knowledge. Still, tell me of your thoughts and experiences with the artifact beneath this island."

[[Lomtaun]] pauses, to see if you caught the reference. "Yes, *four* moons, young one, for [[Grazhir]] was all but destroyed so long ago.

''[[Kssarh]]'s frown curls slowly into a grin as you approach him. "Well now, I've heard you're not so worthless as we were all so sure you were, <Character Name>!" he exclaims. "Tell me what you have learned." In detail, you explain to Kssarh all the intricasies of the artifact on Taisgath, and the insight you've gained from the quest. When you finish the tale, he stares at you with an uncharacteristic smile for several silent moments.

''[[Kssarh]] says, "Congratulations, <Character Name>. You've learned that the stellar bodies form intricate patterns, just like those that drive our spells, our skills, and even our contact with the Probability Plane! Well done."

''[[Kssarh]] continues, "A Moon Mage's power is very deeply linked to everything in the sky. We are Celestial Mages, but it is the four moons which aid us the most." He pauses, as you stare puzzled. "That's right. The four moons, for Grazhir was all but destroyed so long ago. With the understanding you have now, you can latch onto these small fragments rather than die like a worthless guttersnipe on a failed Teleport!" Kssarh pauses to roar with laughter. "Now we can talk about your promotion, but don't expect me to get easier on you now!"

''[[Cherulisa]] closes her eyes and calmly smiles as you explain what you learned from the artifact on Taisgath. Quietly, she listens until you are finished, then opens her eyes to gaze upon you. "Surely, the spirits have chosen well, <Character Name>. Now you understand, don't you? The stellar bodies form intricate patterns, very much like the ones that drive our spells, our skills and our contact with the Plane of Probability. We are bound to the universe, and the universe is bound to us. We are tied to the planets, the stars and the moons."

''[[Cherulisa]] continues, "Our power fluctuates as these heavenly bodies move, but contrary to belief it does not fade when a moon is no longer visible. Look inside yourself, and you'll see this to be true." She pauses to smile as you ponder this statement. "Teleporting can be fatal if cast without a moonbeam... at least to someone who does not understand the nature of the universe. A true Moon Mage such as yourself can latch onto the small fragments of Grazhir that fell to Elanthia to establish an anchor point in lieu of a moonbeam. Congratulations, <Character Name>, for you have learned another lesson of the Ways."

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
''[[Tiv]] steeples his fingers and looks up at your approach. With a warm smile forming on his lips, he speaks before you get a chance to say a word. "Is it strange for an old man to recognize knowledge in a young Elothean's face and to feel joy at his part in bringing about that knowledge? Some would call this shameful pride, but I am not perfect. No, perfection is a journey which even after years of study is some distance off. Tell me, <Character Name>, of your journey to Taisgath." [[Tiv]] leans back and listens as you tell him about the artifact and the quest.

''A moment of silence passes after you have finished the tale, but it is not an awkward nor uneasy one. Finally, [[Tiv]] speaks, his face clearly betraying a sense of calm pride. "Congratulations are in order. You have gained one more key and taken one more step along the path to enlightenment, and with this gift learned much. Now you realize how the intricate patterns of the stellar bodies are very similar to those that drive our spells, that power our skills, and that guide our visions. Our powers are linked to the four moons inextricably; they are as much a part of us as our arms or our minds."

''Tiv pauses, eyes flashing before saying, "Yes, *four* moons. Grazhir was all but destroyed so long ago. With this comprehension and the understanding of how all these patterns interact, you can now latch onto the small fragments of Grazhir rather than die on a failed Teleport."

''"Now," he says, "We shall discuss if you are fated for further advancement."

''Gylwyn smiles brightly at you, "Congratulations, <Character Name>! I knew you could do it! Tell me what you found on Taisgath." She gives you her complete attention as you describe the artifact you found beneath Taisgath. When you complete your tale she says, "Do you understand now why words alone could not encompass this? Just as our art is bound in patterns and systems of order, so are the heavens bound in the same. We are a microcosm of the celestial dance above us, a font of energy and joy that cannot be exhausted."

''She continues, "Just as our name implies, we are connected most of all to the waxing and waning passions of the moons -- all four of them." She lets the number sink in for a moment before continuing, "Though Grazhir fell long ago, something of it remains with us. You can use the sympathetic connection you share with Grazhir to latch on to its shards from a distance. With your awareness as your aegis, you never need to fear a misplaced moonbeam with Teleport again."

''Gylwyn takes a moment to catch her breath, then says, "Now that you know that fundamental truth, we can continue with the matter at hand."

Now you see that the stellar bodies form intricate patterns, very much like the ones that drive our spells, our skills and our contact with the Plane of Probability. We are bound to the universe, and the universe is bound to us. We are tied to the planets, the stars and the moons."

''Continuing, Mortom says, "A Moon Mage's power is so deeply and intently linked to the movement of the stellar bodies, but it does not fade when a moon sets." He holds a mirror up to your face. "Look inside the source of your own power, <Character Name>. You have an understanding now. You can latch onto the small fragments of Grazhir that fell to Elanthia to establish an anchor for your magic -- Teleporting without a moonbeam is no longer fatal, but a boon! Congratulations, for you have learned the most basic lesson of the Ways. You have arrived." Mortom leans back and smiles at you.

''Mortom looks up from admiring himself in a nearby mirror. Smiling with pride, he says, "Excellent, excellent. No longer an initiate, but a true seeker of knowledge."
</div></div>

At this point you will be promoted to 100th provided you meet the experience requirements. If you do not, any guildleader after this point may promote you when your requirements are filled. Congratulations!

=Your New Ability=
You may now cast [[Teleport]] or [[Moongate]] on [[Grazhir]]. This will move you to the closest shard entry point and place you INSIDE the Ways.

You may also cast Teleport on any moon that is NOT up. If you do not have a [[Focus Moonbeam]] for it, you will move to the closest shard entry point, OUTSIDE of the Ways.

Casting Moongate on any moon that is NOT up (excluding Grazhir) will continue to result in a rogue MoonGate.

Credit to MOCKERJB for the usage details of this ability.

==Aesry wilderness rooms==
check if these rooms on aesry are all max wilderness and add their room descriptions to the beseech the dark to sing quest walkthrough page as places to max out bonus:<br>
[Ranger Guild, Cave Mouth]<br>
From a light source nearby, long shadows dance across the sandy floor. Along the eastern wall, something catches the reflection of a flame. The crisp and pleasant night air of the cave carries with it a scent of a warm meal not too far off. You also see a wide crevice.<br>
Obvious exits: north.

[Ranger Guild, Tunnel]<br>
Halfway through the torch-lined tunnel, the ceiling begins to bloat downward, forcing all but the smallest of races to stoop over. Above a small, unattended fire pit, the contents of an iron pot slowly simmer. Gradually the smell of onions, garlic, and some sort of fowl become recognizable, masking the otherwise dank, musty smell of the cave. You also see a trash can and some onionskins.

[Ranger Guild, Main Area]<br>
The low tunnel opens into a magnificent cathedral of stalagmites and stalactites veiled in a thin mist of moisture. Amplified by the acoustics of the cavern, water droplets and their echoes perform a natural symphony. To the north, a natural formation of rocks bridges the chasm. You also see a flat-topped boulder with a guild register on it, a mountain lion and the Ranger Guildleader Marion.<br>
Obvious exits: southwest.

[Ranger Guild, Northern Cavern]<br>
Mushrooms and colorful lichen anchor their roots throughout the crystal formations within the walls, which magnify the natural light in this area. Small boulders allow the visitors to sit quietly and enjoy the beauty of the caves, while a natural spring offers the perfect solution to soothe aching bodies. You also see a rocky bridge.<br>
Obvious exits: none.

[Aesry Surlaenis'a, Hemlock Forest]<br>
In the shadow of the steep cliff rising to the north, the hemlocks grow close together, their branches entwined and woven in a matted mass of snarls. The sky is barely visible overhead and only a wan light penetrates to the needle-covered forest floor. The distant sound of tumbling rocks ricochets dully off the cliff face high overhead where something climbs, or falls.<br>
Obvious paths: north, southwest.

trader player owned shops:
SHOP REMOVE [CUSTOMER] escorts the target customer out of your shop. They will be unable to return to your shop for a specific period of time. By default this is two anlaen, but you can change that using SHOP TIMERS.

If a customer is being especially disruptive, you can use SHOP BLACKLIST [CUSTOMER]. This will place the customer on a 'no entry' list that the guards will keep a close eye on, and they will not allow that customer to enter the shop. A blacklist entry lasts for ten Elanthian weeks (10 RL days) by default, which can be changed using SHOP TIMERS BLACKLIST. There is a non-refundable fee of one silver per Elanthian week for every person you blacklist this way.

If you would like to remove somebody from your blacklist prematurely (whitelist them), you can use SHOP BLACKLIST REMOVE [CUSTOMER]. You will not be refunded your fee for the extra work that the guards had to do to keep an eye out for that customer.

Category:Meditations

2021-06-05T14:04:37Z

MOTHRA: /* Summary of Meditations */

{{RTOC}}
[[Barbarians]] are trained in more than relentless battle, they are trained to apply their will to the world around them.

Meditations are moderate term buffs that are typically initiated outside of combat.

==Syntax==
MEDITATE FLAME - Check your Inner Fire as well as Available Training Sessions.
MEDITATE <ability> - Perform a Barbarian Meditation.
MEDITATE <object> |CRUSH|BASH|SMASH| - Destroys a held magical item.
MEDITATE RESEARCH <ability> - Mentally study and review a Barbarian ability.
MEDITATE STOP - Stop all meditations.
MEDITATE LIST - Show all known Barbarian Meditations.

==Magic Destruction==
A Barbarian needs no magic, and is harmed by the illusion that they do. However, they can also draw strength from the meditative destruction of tainted items, stoking their [[Inner Fire]]. Upon {{com|meditate}}ing on a magical item, they may destroy it any number of ways, with a chance of a minor Inner Fire boost.

The success of the boost seems to be partially based off [[Strength]], and there is the risk of Inner Fire loss, slight damage to body parts from the item's destruction, or no change in Inner Fire.

<b>Note:</b> Currently, only [[runestones]] may be affected this way.

==Trivia==
*They are named after concepts or function.

MOTHRA: /* Points of Interest */

{{#concept:[[race is::halfling||olvi]]}}
{{incomplete|age chart needs data}}{{RTOC}}[[Image:halflings.gif|200px|left|Male and Female Halflings]]

==Play.net Description==
{{Pt|race}}Notorious for their sweet tooth, furry feet, and odd behavior, Halflings are perhaps the most inquisitive and clever of all the sentient races, matched only by the [[Prydaen]] in their tendency to get distracted by what would seem to others to be trivial or inconsequential things. What they lack in strength and discipline they make up for in physical agility; Halflings are uncannily good at getting out of the sticky situations that their own curiosity frequently gets them into.<br />
<br />
It is a common perception in the Realms that Halflings are universally good-natured -- even child-like -- in manner. Halflings have an affected dialect of Common that often involves the use of simple terms and emphatic gesturing which can, on the surface, imply a simpler outlook on life -- perhaps even a naïve one. Historically, however, there have been Halflings who have tackled gravely serious endeavors that ultimately ensured the survival of the Realms. It is perhaps because of this "simpler outlook" that they were able to endure the strain that surely accompanied such undertakings.

==Character Creation==

The Halfling figurine speaks, a bubbly, high-toned voice that is overrun with jovial humor. "Clever Halfling am I! Strength I have not, and height I have not, and really, I'm not all that skilled in magic -- but clever, clever, clever is this one! We are the curious, the ingenious, the solver of riddles! Always have we an eye on the humor in things, for life is too short to be spent on brooding! [[Lanival]] gave all the lands to us, so all places are ours. Our curiosity untangles the knots that bind and finds that which is not yet lost. What we lack in power and height we make up with skill and accuracy and dexterity."<br />
<br />
Though short -- half the size of the [[Human]] and smaller than the [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] -- the Halfling radiates a confidence, merriment, and awareness of the world that makes up for size. Bright eyes twinkle with suppressed laughter.

Alteration

2020-11-10T07:37:07Z

MOTHRA: /* Merchant Sessions */

{{RTOC}}
'''Alterations''' [[page type is::definition|are]] [[GM]] mediated custom changes to a facet of your character, usually an item. In most cases, these alterations are purely cosmetic, but sometimes additional factors can be added.

In addition, there is also a specific type called [[LTB Alterations]] or [[Premium]] alterations and [[Feature alteration]] that have their own special rules.

==Process==
Alterations can come from a variety of sources, but the two most common are merchant sessions and scroll alterations.

===Merchant Sessions===
Most common at festivals, alterers will show up either randomly or at prescheduled times. They will open a list, that when {{com|join}}ed will place your name on said list. The list usually remains open for some time, to allow everyone to join, an occasionally it will remain open during the entire event. But usually, it will be closed after a decent amount of time, preventing any other joiners. At any point if you reconsider your decision to join the list, you may type {{com|leave}} {{tt|list}} to leave the alteration list. If the list has been closed, you will not be able to re{{tt|join}} it.

At this point, the alterer will usually either pick the first name (very uncommon) or a random name from the list (usual) to do work with. It should be noted, '''''getting on the list does not guarantee work''''' unless the alterer specifically states it. Some alterers will only work for five or ten people, others do multi-hour events working for fifty or more.

Like all alterations, all rare materials must be on hand and as well as payment required by the alterer. If your rare material 'fodder' is in many small pieces; compare the total volumes and make an educated guess on what your alteration will require. Put the like-type alteration materials in a simple pouch you won't want back. Keep any other materials separate to make the alterer's life easier.

====Assistants====
It has become more common in recent years for alterers to employ player assistants to do the initial examination of someone's idea, as these people tend to be experienced in the process. They'll help people with incomplete ideas enhance them, pick out any typos or rules violations, and just generally clean up the idea. While it is not required that the assistant's ideas be listened to, it is highly likely the alterer will not look favorably upon complete disregard of their rule corrections.

====Role-playing Considerations====

Role-playing considerations are always in play. This is the case with any live merchant anywhere, regardless of if it happens during a [[:Category:Paid_events|paid event]] or not. '''Live merchants are role-playing events.'''<ref>[[Post:Social Outrage - 12/03/2017 - 13:03]]</ref>

For example, if you're playing a [[Perverse]]-aligned character, it might not go well when you show up to a religious [[Rakash]] merchant.

===Alteration Scrolls===
Scroll alterations are often done either through the [[LTB]] system or as a reward for purchasing an event. These differ in that all contact with the alterer is done via an in-game item, the scroll, and depending on the complexity or requests, may take several days.

Not all alteration scrolls are equal. Depending on the scroll's source, the types of items you can have worked performed on will vary. More complex items require that the merchant processing your request have more clearances — not all GameMasters can work on all items. '''Some items cannot be altered via scroll, period.'''

====LTB Scrolls====
Generally speaking, this type of alteration will consist of a holdable/wearable, non-magical item that isn't heavily scripted. These are always cosmetic changes only.

====Event-Tier Scrolls====
Scrolls obtained through events can (again, ''generally speaking'') be used on more complex items than Long-Term Benefit (premium) scrolls. As with LTB scrolls, any changes would be strictly cosmetic (only be to the tap/look/read, not to the functionality or messaging).

Examples of items you ''might'' be able to alter with Event scrolls but not with LTB scrolls: cambrinth, magical foci, and weapons/armor with flare enchantments.<ref>[[Post:Corn Maze Scrolls and You - 11/08/2020 - 21:02]]</ref>

===Errors & Buyer's Remorse===
'''Alterations are final.''' Once a design is agreed upon that's it. Please ensure that you're happy with the final results before leaving the session. Try not to feel rushed, or that you're holding up the line. Everyone involved in the process wants you to walk away with a product you'll be happy with. Sometimes that can take a while.
* If you're attending a merchant session and cannot agree upon a design the "slot" can be refunded. You're not committed and can walk away. Just ask.
* Items can be re-altered. Where and how you do that depends on what the item is. If it's something that can only be done by a merchant you'll have to resubmit it to a merchant.
* If you have a typo (it happens) you can {{com|ASSIST}} about it.
* If you just want to change something, though, it's treated as a new alteration. Another slot, another scroll, etc.

==Items==

===General Rules===
* The merchant has the final say.
* Merchants generally do not add special mechanics or scripts to items.
* Merchants generally do not change where an item is worn or how much it can hold.
* The short description is ''purely mechanical'', and is how you interact with the item. It is setup 15/15/15, "article,adjective,noun".
:* Players do not have to define this, as it's usually obvious and straightforward. If you have specific preferences, however, please state them to the merchant or their assistant.
* The tap (the name of the item that you see when you type INV HELD) cannot exceed 80 characters (including the leading article a/an/some and spaces)
* The tap cannot contain commas. (Commas serve as separators in inventory lists.)
* The look (what you see when you type LOOK [ITEM]) cannot exceed 512 characters, including spaces and punctuation. (There must be two spaces between sentences.)
* A read (what you see when you type READ [ITEM]) should be no more than 50 characters and 10 words. (Most writing should be in a separate read and not in the tap or look.)
:* Words or phrases in any racial language will have to be verified and may not be possible at all times.
:* Character names are generally not allowed.
:* Phrases and writing should ideally be in the READ and not the LOOK. Be aware that the system automatically appends the phrase "There appears to be something written on it." when the READ is populated, so having written text in both locations (or referring to the READ text in the LOOK) can occasionally produce awkward results.
* If containers are being used as a source for material (and not the item altered), they must be empty.
* Items named after a race are usually not permitted. For instance a Kaldaran shield needs to be specifically described in such a way that it can only be Kaldaran.

====Magic & Lighting====
* The words "rune", "sigil", and "glyph" are reserved for the magic and enchanting systems and are not permitted. Using these on items inherently implies they are magical. Even actual magical items should also not have these terms unless they were originally designed to have runes, sigils, or glyphs on them.
:* Other synonyms, such as "symbols", "markings", or "cursive script" are usually permitted. (Generally, the closest you can get is "symbols resembling celestial sigils" as celestial sigils generally have a defined look.)
* An item can be described as having light bouncing off it. This does not need any special modifiers such as "when the light hits it" or "in the light". It's generally assumed that if a player can see the item, there's enough light around for the item to also sparkle. However, a should not be described as 'brightly lit' all the time.
* Items cannot glow or otherwise emit their own light (unless one of its materials naturally glows). Shimmering and other similar words are acceptable. Even if a gem is described as "glowing", an item should not be made to "glow" by itself. Glowing is generally reserved for scripted or magical items (gaethzen for example).
:: Good: "sparkling", "gleaming", "scintillating", "shining", "glistening", "shimmering", "brilliant", "vivid", etc
:: Bad: "glowing", "pulsating", "burning", "incandescent", "luminescent"
:: Grey area: "luminous", "fiery"

====An Item's History====
The history of the item cannot be described, as a stranger looking at it would have no way of knowing this information:
* It is okay to artificially "age" an item during an alteration. However, the description should be what you can see in front of you -- while it may be apparent that an item has been "torn and then repaired several times", it's impossible to know that it's because a player "got in a fight with an angry hoard of badgers and came out victorious". Write what you see, not what the player knows what happened.
:* A good way to get around this is to make a small scene showing what happened.
:* Bad: "The backpack has been torn several times by angry badgers over the long years, and repaired by the steady hand of Catrox."
:* Better: "The backpack has been torn and repaired several times, apparent from the different threads used in each stitching. A small hoard of angry badgers is painted onto the front."
* As above, descriptions of the cause of damage to an item are not permitted. However, the damage itself is usually acceptable. (For example, you might describe a robe as "scorched" but can't say that the damage was caused by a lightning strike.)
* It is okay to use the word "worn" on an item as long as it's obvious it refers to age instead of it being physically worn. "Old" is also acceptable. The word "antique" should generally be avoided because it implies inflated value. The words "antiqued" or "antiquated" are better.
* Descriptions of the origin, provenance, or chain of ownership of the item are not permitted.
* Bloodstains are okay, but need to be dried blood (which is a rusty brown, not crimson). Where the blood came from should be ambiguous -- IE you should not describe it as "Human" blood or "leucro blood" or "pig blood". Pretty much all blood looks the same.

====How It's Worn====
* Some descriptions should specify "when worn" or similar phrasing to prevent confusion or strangeness when an item is not being worn.
* Items need to be described in a way that it makes sense no matter if it's on a player, in a backpack, stuffed in a vault, or lying on the ground. The item descriptions also need to be gender-neutral, and not use 'his' or 'her' pronouns unless scripted to handle that.
:* The easiest way to get around this rule is to use such as "cut to", "designed to", "made to". It's also acceptable to use "wearer" to some extent, which implies that if there isn't a wearer, the item isn't currently in that state.
:* Avoid: "the silk train drapes to the floor behind her".
:* Better: "the silk train is designed to drape to the floor behind the wearer".
* Also avoid describing the WEARER's body. For instance, "an evening dress cut to reveal the soft skin beneath" does not take into account Prydaens, S'Kra Mur, people with hardened or weathered skin, and so on.

====Style: Races, Locations & Guilds====
Places, provinces, and cities are always capitalized. This includes in items.<br/>
Races are always capitalized. This includes in items. The proper spellings are as follows:
* Human singular, Humans plural, Human race, Human item
* Elf singular, Elves plural, Elven race, Elven item
* Dwarf singular, Dwarves plural, Dwarven race, Dwarven item
* Halfling singular, Halflings plural, Halfling race, Halfling item
* Gor'Tog singular, Gor'Togs plural, Gor'Tog race, Gor'Tog item or Toggish item. Note: Gor'Tog can be informally shortened to "Tog".
* Elothean singular, Elotheans plural, Elothean race, Elothean item
* S'Kra Mur singular, S'Kra Mur plural, S'Kra Mur race, S'Kra item. Note: S'Kra Mur can be informally shortened to "S'Kra".
* Gnome singular, Gnomes plural, Gnome race, Gnomish item
* Kaldar singular, Kaldar plural, Kaldar race, Kaldaran item
* Prydaen singular, Prydaens plural, Prydaen race, Prydaen item
* Rakash singular, Rakash plural, Rakash race, Rakash item
An example of singular, plural, race, and item:
: Singular: He is an Elf.
: Plural: There are four Elves over there.
: Race: The Elven people have many different clans.
: Item: This is an Elven longsword.
Profession names are capitalized when talking about the profession as a whole, but not when talking about an individual. The proper spelling is as follows:
* Paladins' Guild, a paladin
* Barbarians' Guild, a barbarian
* Rangers' Guild, a ranger
* Clerics' Guild, a cleric
* Empaths' Guild, an empath
* Warrior Mage Guild, a warrior mage. "warrior mage" can be informally shortened to "war mage".
* Thieves' Guild, a thief
* Moon Mage Guild, a moon mage
* Bards' Guild, a bard
* Traders' Guild, a trader
* Necromancer Guild, a necromancer. "necromancer" can be shortened to "necro".
* Avoid using "cutesy" names like "pally", "warmie", "teef", "moonie", etc in items except within quotes, preferably within the READ or LOOK.

====Out of Bounds====
* Items cannot dictate how people feel or react. (For example, your armor can't strike fear into the hearts of your enemies.)
* Items cannot imply that they have mechanics they do not have. For example, stalking leathers can be "designed to aid stealth," but they do not actually and cannot be said to aid the wearer in moving about.
* Obvious [[Out of Character|out-of-genre or out-of-character]] references/designs are not permitted.
* Nothing obscene, vulgar, or sexually explicit is permitted.
:* Items in DragonRealms should generally not be more than PG-13. Players wearing "nothing special" are assumed to be wearing very boring underwear. How a player dresses their character is up to them, but items should not be written with an inherently racy undertone to them.
:* Avoid: Garter belt, halter-top, panties, thigh-high fishnet stockings, bra, bikini, boxers, ANY "adult toys"
:* Generally Okay: garter (wedding garter), halter-neck top, bustier, bandeau, chemise, corset, loincloth
:* Avoid collars (outside priest collars used for that purpose). "Choker", "scarf", and "torque" are better alternatives.

===Material Changes===

====General Items====
Generally speaking you can change the base materials of clothing, containers, and fluff items. Don't change the essence of what the item ''fundamentally is''.

====Instruments====
* Instrument material cannot be changed via scroll alterations. If you have a wood instrument it must stay a wood type.
* Only a live alterer can change the composition of an instrument (wood to metal for example).

====Weapons & Armor====
If a specific material is specified in the tap you may not change the item to be constructed of something else entirely. Adding embellishments using secondary materials is fine.
* The item material not changing is mostly for weapons and armor. You can usually move it from the tap to the look, though.
::Example: if you have "a steel sword" you could make it...
::TAP: a long sword with icesteel inlay
::LOOK: The steel of the sword is sharpened to a fine point.
* Partially, this has to do with the fact that different materials create a different template. And, if it is forged and reclaimed, someone down the line could be really confused as to why their silversteel sword gave them a hunk of regular old steel.

===Noun Changes===

====General Items====
A dress can change into a gown – they are both the same thing, usually worn in the same place! A pack can be a rucksack – they're both the same thing, usually worn in the same place! Shoes can be boots, or slippers, or flats, or heels. These changes are ok! A ball can be a globe, a medallion can be a medal. A charm can be a trinket! But if we're changing it, it has to make sense for the item and match the worn place. (A dress could not become a skirt, because those items are worn in different slots.)

Note: An example of an item from years ago with an incorrect worn-place is not justification to make your item a thing it doesn't make sense to be!

Some merchants are willing to change the noun to a racial noun when appropriate. For example, a "robe" might become a "gamantang" or an "odaj."

Always, noun changes are up to the discretion of the merchant. If they say no, that means no.

====Weapons & Armor====
Weapons and armor have templates. Many systems touch them, and they should generally be left alone. When a katana is made it uses a katana template. A sword has a sword template.

'''Now, as a general rule the noun is not alterable.''' There is a slim chance that you may happen across a special merchant who is run by a GM that has the knowledge and ability to see what else a certain template touches, what other systems are effected by the templates, and make modifications so as to not break your thing in the certain circumstances that you touch another one of those systems with it.

The number of GameMasters approved to make these changes on the fly is very low and those with the necessary clearances generally do not have much time for performing alterations.

It’s not a never thing but it is super rare and if the merchant says no that means that they literally can’t.

===Maker's Marks===
====Incorporating Marks====
[[Maker's mark]]s on player-made equipment have some special rules:
* '''If a mark is present on a piece of equipment, it must be incorporated in the new design'''. There are no exceptions, even if the crafter is present to waive the requirement.
* Custom maker's marks must retain their full mark in its original form. A custom mark could theoretically be moved from into the READ, assuming such a change makes sense contextually.
* On standard marks, you do NOT have to keep the exact wording (e.g. "You see the initials 'C. M.' impressed into the surface of the metal"). You can change it to something similar as long as the mark and initials remains on the item.
* If a mark is not present on an item, and you want to add it to the item, the merchant must be able to independently verify who made it. There appears to be a short window of time (a few days) in which it is possible to tell who made it even without a mark.<ref>Personal alteration experience</ref>

====[[Custom Maker's Marks (new)|Custom Mark Creation]]====
* You must provide your own basic stamp. Work cannot be performed on someone else's stamp.
* Design can be no more than 150 characters in length, and will be automatically prefixed with with "the image of" and appended "with impressed into the material's surface" (not counted in character count limit).
* This is an actual, physical marking. The design cannot be animated or magical, nor can it shimmer or shine. There is no guarantee of complete uniqueness — some elements may be shared with other stamps.

===Magical/Scripted Items===

Many items with special magical effects or scripts can only be worked on by certain merchants. Please ask in advance and come prepared with a Plan B in case your merchant cannot work on the item.

Additionally, some items (such as the {{ilink|i|dull serpent earcuff}}) have special alteration rules or cannot be altered at all. If known, such rules or limitations will be described on the relevant item page.

Note: generally, an item cannot have two scripts. Some examples...
* Feature-modifying jewelry can not also function as a magical item hider
* Holy weapons can not have soulstones added.
* The hold-x-items containers cannot have ice-veined leather added.
* Shimmering (color-changing) clothing cannot have additional verbs added.

Examples of items with magical effects or scripts that may require a special merchant:
* ashcloaks
* atmospheric items
* [[cambrinth]]
* [[chakrel]]
* feature-modifying items (see below)
* [[:Category:Flying brooms|flying brooms]] or [[:Category:Flying carpets|flying carpets]]
* [[:Category:Item_hiders#Magical|magical item hiders]] (you may now combine as many hiding mechanics as you want, provided the merchant works on such items)
* [[orlog]]s
* passive stat regenerating items, such as {{ilink|i|dull serpent earcuff|dull serpent earcuffs}}
* [[Pilgrim's badge|pilgrim's badges]] (only the tap can be altered, not the look)
* [[Focus_(item)|ritual foci]]
* [[soulstone|soulstones]] (special verbs may be lost by the addition of a soulstone)
* spell-casting items
* [[vanity pet]]s

===Feature-modifying Items===
;Q - Can they be altered?
:A - Yes, they can be altered, but only the {{tt|TAP}} usually shows up in features, and sometimes (depending on the setup) only the SHORT. Alterers likely will not change that setting in a session.
;Q - Can they be altered via [[LTB]] scroll?
:A - Yes, but probably not "location" change.
;Q - Are there any special rules (character limits, etc)?
:A - No limits other than the normal. Because these can be pushed into the features and pulled out, the {{tt|TAP}} should never mention anything about the features, it should only be the item.
;Q - Is their script stackable with any other scripts (like hiders, etc.)?
:A - Not stackable, but should work with beard jewelry script as well, so you can wear both.

===Titles/Professions in Item Designs===

Unless the profession or title you want to use is listed below, you must display the title to prove that you have earned the right to use it. Additionally, the item design should explain how that title is appropriate. For example, a "legionary's" pack might be designed to be more comfortable on long marches.

====Prohibited Titles====
Some titles are not permitted in items, even if the character can display the title.

* '''ambassador, royal advisor, seneschal, etc.''': This includes any items with names or descriptions that imply royalty or royal appointments.
* '''[[Assassin (symbol)|assassin]], enforcer, hitman, etc.''': This includes any items with crime-related names or descriptions.
* '''commander, corporal, general, sergeant, etc.''': This includes any items with names or descriptions referring to military ranks or insignia (other than "Captain" for ship owners).
* '''galley slave, slave, slaver, etc.''': This includes any items with slavery-related names or descriptions.
* '''sniper, hunter''': This includes any items with sniper- or hunter-related descriptions.
* '''Torturer''': This includes any items with torture-related names or descriptions.

Do not ask for any adornment or description with wording that signifies a special military rank, governmental position, royal connections or appointments. The exception to this rule is the title "captain" for nautical/boat themed items. Any ranks above captain (admiral, etc.) ARE, however, subject to this rule.

Avoid requesting an alteration that mentions a reference to royal ancestors or divine lineage. We want to try to keep historic lore within that which has been approved for the game. Likewise, we have a distinguished list of gods and goddesses and feel there are enough to go around.

===Restricted Materials===
If you wish to use the below materials in an alteration you must provide them. This doesn't cover depictions of the materials (e.g. embroidery of a vela'tohr flower). Some of this information was taken from the list on the [http://sites.google.com/site/dragonrealmsweddings/Home/rare-materials DragonRealms Wedding Team website] and [https://sites.google.com/site/thewitchsworkshop/rare_materials Keishalae's list].

Some materials have special alteration rules or limitations. If known, such rules or limitations will be described on the relevant material page.

Below is a partial list of restricted materials. Please check the relevant material's wiki page for any special materials you may be considering.

====[[Flowers]] & Plants====
Flower-specific guidelines as per GM [[Winna]], Nov 2018: ''Actual flowers need to be provided if actual flowers are intended to be in the altered item. For example, if a person wanted 'an elaborately woven wreath of dusky purple phofe flowers', they would need to provide the flowers. If they only wanted 'an elaborately woven wreath of sculpted silver phofe flowers', they would not need to provide the fresh flowers.''

===Special Techniques & Processes===
Some items are created with special techniques and processes and may have special rules. Items utilizing these processes may not be alterable, or may require a special merchant.

This is not a definitive list. As always, the merchant has the final say.

* [[Firestaining]]
* [[Lifesculpting]]
* [[Bardic Knot|Bardic Knots]]

==Tattoos==
===General Rules===
These are mainly common sense, and shouldn't be considered a comprehensive list. As with all alterations, the alterer has the final say. This list also designed to provide information for Assisted Wedding tattoos, which may be very different than those provided by the average tattoo merchant (the main difference being that wedding tattoos can cover multiple body parts in the description).

Tattoos are available for Queen's and King's weddings. There is a maximum of two per wedding, and they go to the couple only -- so no tat for the mother-in-law. They also count as a verbed item slot.

Generally speaking:
* Tattoos cannot appear to move on their own.
* As with all wedding alterations, they must not be sexually themed or be inappropriate for a family game.
* No tattoos with pictures of people mentioning only their name. How do I know that's your neighbor Samantha on your bicep? I wouldn't, but I would be able to see a blonde with green eyes perched on a boar.
* Tattoos are ink only. No throwing gems on top, scarification, branding, etc.
* Limit for the length of tattoos is approximately 512 characters, spaces included. Don't forget that in DR, we double space between sentences!
* Tattoos must begin with "She/He has a tattoo of" and end with "on his/her (area)".

===Tattoo Rules for Prydaen===
Prydaen tattoos should be kept minimal and on areas where the fur is likely to be thin or sparse (like limbs, wrists, cheeks). Something on a back or chest or the like would never actually show up unless they are bald in that area.

===Valid Areas===
{|
|
* face
* neck
* arm
* chest (male) / shoulder (female)
* back
* leg
* hand
* ankle
* wrist
* tail
* shoulder
|
* forehead
* cheekbone
* thigh

* shins
* knees
* right shin
* left shin
* right knee
* left knee
* scalp (only if a bald race)
|}

==Features==
* [[Feature alteration|Feature Alteration Rules]]

==Titles==
* 2 words, maximum. (Adding connecting words is ok within reason.)
* 20 characters, maximum (may have a very LITTLE wiggle room here)
* Title cannot currently be in the system.
* If your request uses a title that is in the system, you must meet all requirements for that title. If I wanted "Mystic Scythe", for example, I'd need to be able to display the [[Title:Mystic|Mystic]] title to the GM working on it in order to use the title.
* The GM working with you has the final say on the title.
* Please do NOT pick up the custom title pins with only one title in mind. If your initial choice is turned down, there are no refunds on these pins. You should only get a custom title pin if you have numerous potential titles in mind.

==Specific SubTypes==
* [[Embiggening]]: enlarges containers to hold more items
* [[Feature Alteration|Feature]]: changing text features in your character's {{com|look}}
* [[Rebecho]]: adds ties to items

==Writing Tips==
===Show, Don't Tell===
We're in a text-based world, and rely on words to convey the images since graphics are absent. With that in mind: "show, don't tell." Or, to coin a phrase from school: "active versus passive voice."

Let us note here that passive voice is NOT incorrect by any means, and there are many people that prefer passive voice to active voice. It's a bit of a personal fingernail-on-chalkboard for some, and some GMs and Assistants will try and talk you out of it, but it's NOT incorrect. However, the difference is that passive voice tends to "list" things, while active voice tends to "paint a picture". Active voice isn't an easy way to write for a lot of people, but if it's something you can get a handle on, you may find it more pleasant to read through. And, as a bonus, you may find that using active voice trims words out of the description, making it more concise.

===The "Flow" of Your Alteration===
Your inventory is normally in an arranged order, flowing from head to toe in a logical sequence.

Your alteration should probably do the same. There are many options when considering the flow of an item: back to front, front to back, top to bottom. Broad to detailed, or vice versa. It doesn't matter which direction you choose, but choose one and go with it. Consider the following:

: '''Option 1:''' The cloak features a sequined red fox across the back, tail curled and brushing the hem. A ruby clasp framed in gold closes the garment, while red-tipped fox fur lines the hood. Tiny rubies stitched along the hem complement the clasp, and brush the sequined tail. The body of the cloak is lined with snowbeast fur.

: '''Option 2:''' The cloak features a sequined red fox across the back, tail curled and brushing the hem. Red-tipped fox fur lines the hood, blending into the snowbeast fur that lines the body of the cloak. A ruby clasp framed in gold closes the garment, complementing the tiny rubies stitched along the hem.

Both options present the same features, but how does your eye flow in your imagination?

: '''Option 1:''' Back of cloak on the outside, front of the cloak, inside top of the cloak, bottom outside of the cloak to the bottom of the back of the outside of the cloak, inside body of the cloak.

: '''Option 2:''' Back of the cloak, inside of the cloak, front of the cloak, bottom of the cloak.

The eye of your imagination follows a more logical progression with Option 2, making you more inclined to have a full visual picture of the cloak when you are done reading.

|p=>>MOTHRA: Back in June we saw an uzil item. Now uzil has popped up in a few more items at HE. For documentation purposes, what is uzil? What is it's in-character source? Is it required for alterations?

A soft, flowing [[:Category:Fabric|fabric]], [[Uzil|uzil]] was created by a [[Siksraja|Siksrajan]] weaver who said that its name and method of creation came to her in a dream as she napped by the village lake. Careful inclusion of tiny crystalline flecks in the silken threads gives uzil a shimmering appearance reminiscent of the surface of a body of water in the afternoon sun.

Uzil must be provided for [[Alteration|alterations]].

|p=Happy [[Tuesday Tidings|Tuesday]], Elanthians!

This week, [[Cordulia]] is continuing with the new numeric rankings from toggles for those interested in the quick-to-digest format they provide. Reminder that with [[Hollow Eve 436|HE]] going, we're aiming smaller (even for us!), so that HE can have our focus!

This week's additions are a new {{com|toggle|TOGGLE ATTRIBUTES}} option, which was needed to support [[Luck]] rankings in {{com|INFO}}. Those who spend time [[Locksmithing skill|disarming and picking boxes]] will also see difficulty rankings when identifying -- this is tied to the existing {{tt|TOGGLE APPRAISAL}}.

Big thanks to both Cordulia for working on it and to Ynami for the toggle QC!

Next week is a mystery! Wait and see!
