PUCKTEN: /* Prime Players */

{{RTOC}}[[rare source::true| ]]
SimuCon is the annual Simutronics convention held in St. Louis, Missouri.

The first SimuCon was in 1990, several years prior to DragonRealms' creation, and it was actually called GemCon (for Simutronics biggest game of the time [[GemStone]]).

The next SimuCon was in 1997 and was called SimuCon II. After that all SimuCons were named by the year they were held from SimuCon '98 through SimuCon 2007, though no SimuCon was held in 2006.

In 1999 a large number of players, led by GameMaster Treveri, started a player-run DragonRealms convention in Las Vegas called [[VegasCon]]. The first VegasCon was coincidentally scheduled the same weekend as a similar GemStone meeting in Las Vegas. After 1999 all VegasCons have been planned with both DragonRealms and GemStone at the same location.

===Cancellation===
On March 26th, 2020, it was announced that SimuCon 2020 was canceled.
<blockquote>Hi friends,

We've gone ahead and made the very difficult decision to cancel SimuCon this year. I know it's a long way off still, but we feel it's the best thing to do for our playerbase and everyone's families and friends. We're giving you as much advanced notice as possible so you can do what you need to do with any resources you may have devoted to SimuCon, like airfare or hotel reservations or vacation time.

We're still going to offer non-attendee goodie bags (the in-game swag) and put the funds raised from that into the budget for SimuCon 2021. In addition, we're looking at how we can livestream some events, like round table discussion and the State of Elanthia. We'll keep you posted about how we decide to handle that when it gets a little closer, but the plan is to do at least the SoE when it would have been scheduled in St. Louis.

Item:Exquisitely pale mistglass compact patterned with delicate rose petals

PUCKTEN:

{{Item
|name=exquisitely pale mistglass compact patterned with delicate rose petals
|noun=compact

Once bonded (RUBBED) this cannot be unbonded. It will only function for the first person that rubs it.

* {{com|study}}:
: As you study the mistglass compact, you feel that you could RUB it to make it yours, ANALYZE it to see what it contains, TURN it to select a feature pan, CLEAN it to clean out a feature pan, GAZE at it to see a feature on you, and KISS it to apply the feature.
: This compact currently has 3 pans available to hold features. You can add 1 additional pan by applying a potency crystal to it.
: It also appears that you could add features from common feature-adjusting mirrors to any empty pans using SHOW MY compact TO MY MIRROR, or you could save one of your current features by POINT MY mistglass compact AT {feature} and then STARE MY mistglass compact. The compact will work with the following locations.

hair color hair style
hair length hair quirk
right eye's color left eye's color
skin's color skin
hair streak hair arrangement
nose eye shape
weight height
face dimples
chin ears
distinguishing mark eyes

: An exquisitely pale mistglass compact patterned with delicate rose petals currently has enough charges to use it 3 more times. You can add 3 additional charges to the compact by applying an infuser stone to it.
:* ''Note from GM [[Winna]] on {{tt|study}} variations: "The mistglass compact and the gold compact are the same in function. They were likely put up on Elanthipedia differently because different people contributed to the Elanthipedia feature compact articles. The STUDY on the compact differs depending on the race of the person studying the compact. If you're a S'Kra Mur, it will show you the S'Kra Mur options. Same for the differences of Gor'Togs, Rakash, and Prydaen. The other humanoids have the same general set."

__NOTOC__

==Description==
Standing over twenty feet tall, an ice archon is a being made entirely out of ice and snow, except for its eyes which glow an eerie pale blue color and appear to be the source of its animation. Snow and ice constantly sheds from its massive frame, showering to the ground in waves. It stares forward with an uncaring gaze, although there is a deep-rooted malevolence in its ethereal eyes.

==Recall==
These massive constructs are made entirely out of ice and snow, and cannot survive long in any climate above arctic. Despite the magic fuelling them, these creatures tend to care litle about their surroundings, though they are aggressive to intruders.

Though ice archons are enormous, they are constantly shedding their ice, and thus are very short-lived in their lives. Some believe that these constructs only exist because of a central source of magic that constantly makes more of them.

It is also rumored that ice archons are a product of necromantic experimentation. In an effort to hide their evil deeds, necromancers would experiment on ice, reasoning that it would soon melt afterward. However, a few escaped into snowy reigons where they manage to live on.

===In Depth===

At 1267 lockpicking, and 114 effective agility my trader can pop box the boxes "normal". And they register 3/10 and 4/10 difficulity.

===Special Attacks===
Tremor-like ability:<br>

An ice archon raises its massive icy foot and brings it downward!<br>
The massive impact shakes the ground!<br>
You manage to stay upright despite the tremor.<br>

Stomp: (Breaks legs) <br>

An ice archon raises its massive icy foot and brings it downward!<br>
An ice archon attempts to stomp on your left hand, and you raise your shield to deflect part of the foot so it lands next to you instead of on you.<br>
