Creatures

2007-09-26T10:24:05Z

Suvok: Added derghir

There are many creatures throughout Yliakum, in here you will find information on both ferocious (and not so ferocious) creatures as well as rogues and other vile characters.

=Wild Animals=

Rarely are wild animals found in large cities except for rats which come and infest the sewers and cellars. These animals are often the best for people seeking to train since they range from simple creatures such as rats to extremely powerful monsters such as ulbernauts. Because of this, some creatures have been brought to the Hydlaa Arena so that various people can fight them without having to look for them.

==Biorlitrosans==

[[Image:biorlitrosans.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
 
==Barn Bouncetail==

[[Image:barn_bouncetail.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
Barn Bouncetails are insects. Although not rare, they are not very common either. Barn Bouncetails originally come from The Barn, the second level, and just like many other insects, they eat plants. However, they seem to like certain kinds of rare flowers in particular, which makes them very much disliked in the gardeners' community. Luckily for gardeners, Barn Bouncetails flee from the odour of consumer pheromones (consumers being one of their natural enemies).
 

==Carkarass==

[[Image:Carkarass.jpg|thumb|Picture is of a once powerful mage who had been transformed into a Poison Carkarass after a failed revenge attempt.]]
Carkarasses are the only type of flying creatures, along with pterosaurs and megarases. They are seldom seen in the world of the living, but many people coming back from the Death Realm claim to have seen some flying around. Not much is known about them; scientists know only that they live in the Death Realm and they fly.

;Appearance: A feathered, flying creature with two tails.

;Strength: Not a hindrance to any experienced adventurer, but amateurs should beware.

;Natural Habitat: They are occasionally seen roaming around the Death Realm
 
===Poison Carkarass===

[[Image:Poison_Carkarass.jpg|thumb|'''Poison Carkarass.''']]
;Appearance: A Poison Carkarass resembles the normal Carkarass. Most people cannot distinguish one from the other

;Strength: Poison Carkarasses are far stronger then normal Carkarasses, so beware when engaging them in combat.

;Natural Habitat: Just like normal Carkarasses, the Poison Carkarasses live in the Death Realm.
 

===Fire Carkarass===

[[Image:fire_carkarass.jpg|thumb|A Fire Carkarass in the Death Realm.]]
;Appearance: Fire Carkarasses are identical in most respects to other Carkarasses, but are easily distinguished by their fiery colour

;Strength: Fire Carkarasses are as strong as Poison Carkarasses

;Natural Habitat: As do all other species of Carkarasses, the Fire Carkarass lives in the Death Realm.

 

==Clackers==

[[Image:Clacker.jpg|thumb|A small clacker]]
Clackers are very closely related to crabs, having a hard exoskeleton, which gives them protection and makes them very robust. Their two front limbs are tipped with razor-sharp blades, which can be used to inflict serious damage on anyone who comes within range.

;Appearance: An insect-like creature resembling an over-sized hermit crab.

;Strength: Fairly stupid and not a serious threat to the experienced.

;Natural Habitat: The arena has a fairly large population of these, but many can be found in the sewers and dungeons throughout Yliakum. Clackers are sometimes hunted for their meat, which is used to prepare many flavourful dishes.
 
===Thunderclackers===

[[Image:thunderclacker.jpg|thumb|A Thunderclacker]]
Unlike common Clackers, Thunderclackers are blue in colour. They also make a great deal more noise, hence the name: thunderclackers.

;Apperance: Physically, they look just like Clackers, save for their their royal blue and silvery grey colouring.

;Strength:

;Natural Habitat: Thunderclackers are found mostly in the wilds, and are quite uncommon near towns.

==Consumers==

[[Image:consumer.jpg|thumb|A Consumer.]]
Consumers are rarely seen and little is known of them. Only in recent years have consumers been spotted in any numbers, and scientists speculate that they arrived via the great pits into which the dead are thrown. They will eat anything that fits into their large, round mouth, and some people claim that consumers have the ability to "upgrade" themselves from what they eat. For example, if they eat intelligent creatures, they will themselves become more intelligent.

;Appearance: A being with a large, insect-like body and a massive maw of needle-like teeth.

;Strength: Consumers are aptly named as they have a constant, ravaging hunger and can eat and digest almost any known substance. It is rumored that the only things consumers cannot digest are certain types of magical weapons and armor, although this information has never been confirmed. Although Consumers have no eyes, they possess the uncanny ability to find prey using some strange sensory organs unknown to the peoples of Yliakum.

;Natural Habitat: Consumers are rare, but can be found in the wilds between Hydlaa and the Eagle Bronze Doors. Some have been spotted near the road between Hydlaa and Ojaveda as well.
 

==Derghir==

[[Image:derghir.jpg|thumb|Picture to be added]]
Derghirs are small creatures with a reletively high intelligence. They are able to construct buildings from what looks like stone and crystal, they also appear to have a social order of some kind. The Derghir also have their own complex language. Some people are able to learn this language and can communicate with the Derghir easily.

;Appearance: A short, humanoid creature with a thick rock-like exoskeloton. They have very large, powerfull claws and the ability to withstand the [[Azure Sun|Crystal's]] radiation better than any other race.

;Strength: Their vuneralbility has not been documented to this date, but it has been estimated that these creatures are hard to kill with conventional weapons due to their rocky exterior. Blunt weapons such as [[clubs]] and [[maces]] are thought to be more effective.

;Natural Habitat: They have been observed through observatory telescopes as living on the Azure Sun itself. Recently however, they have settled on the surface in small villiages.
 

==Gawerts==

[[Image:gawert.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
 
==Gobbles==

[[Image:gobble.jpg|thumb|An image of a gobble edited to reveal its true appearance.]]
Gobbles are unpleasant creatures living in Hydlaa's sewers and probably other dark places. They are semi-intelligent and display a certain amount of cunning. It is said among scientists that they can even speak to each other. Their long limbs allow them to run quickly, either to fight or flee.

;Appearance: A short, humanoid creature with mottled skin and a nasty disposition, these beings can be dangerous to the young and inexperienced. Although they have limited intelligence, it is believed that one might communicate with them if one speaks their native tongue.

;Strength:

;Natural Habitat: They have been found in the labyrinthine sewers of Hydlaa City.
 
===Eagle Gobbles===

[[Image:eagle_gobble.jpg|thumb|An Eagle Gobble in the wild]]
Eagle Gobbles, members of the 'Eagle' Clan of Gobbles, are identical in build to the common gobble, but adorn themselves with tattoos and, sometimes, jewelery. This body decoration is indicative of their fairly high degree of intelligence.

;Appearance: Similar to the common gobble, Eagle Gobbles can be distinguished by their distinctive red tattoos and tendency to wear jewelery.

;Strength: Unknown.

;Natural Habitat: Eagle Gobbles are found in the wild areas of Yliakum.

===Serpent Gobbles===

[[Image:serpent_gobble.jpg|thumb|A Serpent Gobble in the Nature]]
Serpent Gobbles are members of the 'Serpent' Clan of Gobbles. It is believed that their custom of wearing more jewelery than other Gobbles is to signify their higher degree of intelligence.

;Appearance: They are identical in physiognomy to the common Gobble, but with striking orange skin, the occasional tattoo and an abundance of jewelery.

;Strength:

;Natural Habitat: Serpent Gobbles can be found in all wild areas.
 

==Grendol==

[[Image:Grendol.jpg|thumb|A Grendol creature in the Arena]]
;Appearance: A foul beast that reeks of death.

;Strength: Although it is not very intelligent, it has very heavy limbs which can easily inflict serious damage to most unskilled fighters.

;Natural Habitat: This abomination dwells in dungeons and dark places, preying upon the unwary. Most are of a malignant nature, although there are rumors about the existence of an intelligent, neutral being resembling a Grendol existing somewhere in one of the nether realms.
 
==Rats==
[[Image:rat.jpg|thumb|I one-eyed rat found in the sewers]]
The most common vile creature in Yliakum, rats have become a pest in the large towns. They proliferate where food is freely available, and always seem able to find some way to get it. They will eat the rotting corpses in sewers as well as the fresh meet in someone's cupboard. They have been known to attack people if they got too close, however they are generally so inoffensive that kids often tease them just for fun.

;Appearance: Rats in this world are quite large and covered with greyish fur. They have one eye and a skinny tail. They use their sharp teeth to attack, and while a Rat's bite can be quite painful, it does not inflict too much damage.

;Strength: Because they are quite easy to defeat, fighting them is a good way for the weaker adventurer to gain experience.

;Natural Habitat: Rats can be found in the sewers of Hydlaa, or in the warehouse district of Ojaveda.
 
===Wrathrats===

[[Image:wrathrat.jpg|thumb|A wrathrat in the death realm]]
Wrathrats are very much like common rats in shape, however, their appearance is dramatically different. Only half of the head has flesh, the rest is skeleton; their bodies are skinned, bare muscles are open to the air and held together in places with coarse stitchings. It is unsure whether they feed or not since they do not seem to be alive in the natural sense. Some speculate that a sorcerer cast a spell upon some rats, dooming them never to rest in peace.

;Appearance: Wrathrats have the same physical shape as common rats, but their fur is of a bloody red and and their skin adheres to their skeleton by only a few stitches here and there.

;Strength: Wrathrats are far more powerful then common rats; their big claws can inflict serious damage to the careless or unskilled fighter.

;Natural Habitat: Unlike common rats, wrathrats live in the Death Realm, and have never been seen in Yliakum.
 

==Tefusang==

[[Image:Tefusang.jpg|thumb|A Tefusang creature in the Arena]]
;Appearance: A large nasty beast with leathery skin, horned appendages and two large tentacles hanging from the torso.

;Strength: The potential strength of this breed varies widely, ranging from average to almost supernatural. Because it is hard to judge the level of threat from just the appearance, the wise adventurer should be wary when approaching one of these creatures. Tefusang's leathery skin and teeth are valued for both armor and alchemical formulas and can fetch a modest price from many merchants.

;Natural Habitat: Tefusangs are seen throught Yliakum. Although fairly common, they tend to avoid highly populated places, preferring areas which are rarely accessed. There is also a colony which has been brought to the arena for anyone who would like to match his or her skill against one.
 
===Marfusang===

[[Image:marfusang.jpg|thumb|A Marfusang.]]
 

==Tloke==

[[Image:tloke.jpb|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
 
==Trepor==

[[Image:Trepor.jpg|thumb|A Trepor creature in the arena]]
;Appearance: An intelligent and hostile creature resembling a spider, but with a human face.

;Strength: Trepors are foul beings. It is rumored that some are able to use magic. Trepors are difficult, but not impossible to slay.

;Natural Habitat: Trepors dwell in the wilds for the most part, although a colony was established in the Hydlaa Arena for training purposes. One can fetch a very nice fee for the hearts of these monsters from 'animal parts' merchants.
 

==Ulbernauts==

[[Image:ulbernaut.jpg|thumb|An ulbernaut]]
;Appearance: Ulbernauts are vicious and extremely powerful beasts; their parts are valued for many things; their hides and claws are highly valuable to 'fur and animal parts' traders, while their hearts are prized by magicians and priests as a component of ritual magic.

;Strength: One of the deadliest creatures in all of Yliakum, Ulbernauts stand over four meters tall, have two massively clawed arms, a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth and a thick coat of shaggy, nearly impenetrable fur. They can strike with lightning speed at close range, but they are slow moving. Even the most experienced adventurer treads lightly in close proximity to one of these beasts.

;Natural Habitat: Rarely encountered, they tend to nest in places far from civilization.
 

=Domesticated Animals=

Domesticated animals are creatures which have been adapted to work or to just provide company. Of the latter, the most common species are the Groffel and the Yulbar. However, there are some people who might want a clacker for a pet. Animals like the Pterosaur, the Goujah and the Megaras aren't often kept as pets, but as working beasts they are quite practical.
==Goujah==

[[Image:goujah.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
The goujah is a kind of draft animal, often used to transport heavy material from one town to an other, or provide the motive power for a winch.

''NOTE: Not much is known about the Goujah as the Dev team has not released much information about them''
 

==Groffel==

[[Image:Groffel.jpg|thumb|A domestic Groffel]]
Groffels are usually summoned from the Netherworld by the use of magical rings. They are known for their high intelligence, and are sometimes used to carry messages from one place to another. Furthermore, it is believed they can assist in mining operations and act as guard animals. However, for the most part, they are simply kept as pets. It is rumoured that as they grow older and larger they develop the ability to fly, but as no one has been able to keep a Groffel in captivity long enough, this has never been proved.

;Appearance: It is a bizarre motley of fur and feathers, possessing a beak, talons, hind hoofs and small wings.

;Strength: A Groffel has the strength of a small child.

;Natural Habitat: Domesticated Groffels are usually summoned from the Netherworld.
 

==Kikiri==

[[Image:kikiri.jpg|thumb|A Kikiri]]
Kikiris are small chook-like animals. They have wings, however they are rarely seen flying. Kikiris are often killed and eaten at festivities, making them quite common in farms, however, having said this, they can also be found in people's backyard, scratching to find food and unearthing flowers at the same time.
;Appearance: A small bird much like our world's chicken.

;Strength: Kikiris can be fairly easily killed, however they can provide good training for kids learning how to attack.

;Natural Habitat: Kikiris' natural habitat is unknown, they might have been in Yliakum from before it was uninhabited or they might have been taken in Yliakum with the first settlers.
 

==Megaras==

[[Image:megaras.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
Megaras are large bat-like flying creatures dating from even before the pterosaur. They are only found in Yliakum, and therefore, some scientists believe that they have been genetically mutated by the Crystal. Megaras are stronger and tougher then pterosaurs making them ideal to carry goods, however, they cannot carry people nor can they transport precious goods since they are too rough. Just like with pterosaurs, a person can only have in his or her possession one megaras.
 
==Pterosaur==

[[Image:pterosaur.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
Pterosaurs are large, flying creatures used to carry a single passenger. They are a species of reptiles which have developed a membrane in order to fly. in average, Pterosaurs are about three to six metres.They are Riding a Pterosaur is the most luxurious, most expensive and quickest way of traveling. Luxurious because you get to sit the whole time while admiring the view and expensive because the Pterosaurs have to be trained for about 3 years before they can carry anyone safely. It is also a very quick firstly because you are flying, but also because it is possible to fly from one level to another without passing by the Winch. In order to avoid air congestion, a person can only have in his or her possession one pterosaur.
 
==Yulbar==

[[Image:yulbar.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
Yulbars are currently only found when magical rings are used to summon them. Yulbars are sometimes used to help mine ores and attack wild animals. Groffels are usually kept for enjoyment and unlike the Groffel, it is not used to carry messages often.

;Appearance: A small amphibious looking creature with rounded spikes on its back

;Strength: Possesses the strength of a small child

;Natural Habitat: Domesticated Yulbars are usually summoned from the Netherworld
 

=Malicious Characters=

People seeking a fight can not only attack various creatures, they can also try to kill rogues, mercenaries and other vile characters. Some of this lot are extremely powerful and hard to vanquish, whereas others are weak enough to be defeated with little or no skill.

==Brigands==

[[Image:Brigand.jpg|thumb|'''picture to be added''']]
Brigands, like thugs and rogues, are vile characters who loiter around merchants and steal whatever they can, whenever they can.

;Appearance: Most bandits disguise themselves as ordinary civilians to get near merchants and make themselves hard to spot in a crowd.

;Strength:

;Location: Although bandits steal items, they are mostly seen in remote areas.
 

==Gladiators==

[[Image:kranglad.jpg|thumb|A Kran Gladiator in the Arena]]

Gladiators are characters eager to fight anything that moves. Some may even pursue people to satisfy their desire for combat.

;Strength: Because of their constant training, they are highly skilled in the use of weapons.

;Location: Mercenaries are employed by the Arena.
 

==Rogues==

[[Image:Rogue.jpg|thumb|A Rogue in the Arena]]
Rogues are the most common type of vile character in Yliakum. Some will drop precious items, while others are only good for the combat experience. What's more, it is impossible to judge from their appearance whether they are strong or not.

;Appearance: Rogues are normally dark clothed characters. They can sometimes be seen with a weapon in hand, but they prefer to keep them concealed.

;Strength: Some rogues can be very powerful, while others can be extremely easy to kill.

;Location: Rogues are mainly found in places where things can be stolen, or in the dark, mysterious regions. They are seldom seen out in the open.

Dsar of Akkaio

2007-08-23T12:40:05Z

Suvok: Made mistake - fixing

[[Image:Ojaveda.jpg|300px|thumb|The Dsar of Akkaio]]
The Dsar of Akkaio is the largest [[Dsar]] in [[Ojaveda]] and currently the only one open to the public. It is run by the Akkaio pack of [[Enkidukai]]. The Dsar is located east of [[Hydlaa]], a road starts from Hydlaa's [[Hydlaa/East Gate|East Gate]], and ends at Ojaveda's [[Akkaio/West Gate|West Gate]]. It, as is the rest of the Dsars, on the first level of Yliakum. Akkaio is one of the central trading Dsars and contains two districts, The [[Steel Bazaar]] and the [[Warehouse District]]. Many items can be obtained from Akkaio from all over Yliakum. This Dsar is currently the spawn point of the Enkidukai race, it is the only Dsar that has been created so far and was introduced at the release of [[Crystal Blue]].

=Geography=

Akkaio is located on the first level. It is found south-west of the [[Bronze Doors]] region and the [[Stone Labyrinths]] and east of Hydlaa, the capital city of [[Yliakum]]. Akkaio, as part of Ojaveda, is on the level closest to the [[Crystal]], meaning it has more light than other levels. Because of the fertility of the first level and the amount of light that Akkaio is given, Akkaio, just as many other Dsars, is surrounded by farms and lives of their trade. They trade mostly with the [[Hammerwielders]], whom they have a good relationship with.

===Newb Note===

Ojaveda is out of the way, there is nowhere to go at the moment that will require you to pass through Ojaveda. However, this is the spawn point of the Enkidukai race, and you will need to get your bearings.

* To get to Hydlaa, exit Ojaveda from the West Gate in the Steel Bazaar. Continue down the road all the way and you will reach the West Gate of Hydlaa

* To get to the Magic Shop, Go to Hydlaa using the above instructions and exit Hydlaa from the north gate - from the center plaza with the Laanx Statue, look toward a tall brown tower and make your way towards it. After exiting through the gate, continue through the forest path and then take the right fork as soon as you see it.

* To get to the Bronze Doors, Go to Hydlaa using the above instructions and exit Hydlaa from the north gate - from the center plaza with the Laanx Statue, look toward a tall brown tower and make your way towards it, but take the left fork instead of the right. The way can be long, but just follow the road.

=Points of Interest=

==The Steel Bazaar==

===Th' Broken Door===

The most respected tavern on the first level. Brado runs a large Tavern in Akkaio selling many varieties of alcoholic drinks and food. Brado however has a rat problem in his celler and has become the first port of call for budding adventurers.

===Trasoks Smithy===

Regarded as superior to Harnquist's Smithy in Hydlaa, Trasok the [[dwarf]] own a smithy in Akkaio and sells and teaches many weapons and [[crafting]] techniques.

===Toda's Store===

==The Warehouse District==

===Mikana Trading Company===

===The Huts===

The Enkidukai spawn point. All Enkidukai characters spawn in this area, near the huts of important Enkidukai.

=Development=

Akkaio was released in the Crystal Blue release of [[PlaneShift]]. More Dsars of Ojaveda will be released over time, the IC reason is that the other Dsars were closed due to a quarantine, this is however a rumour that has little extra facts. The Akkaio pack of Enkidukai were implemented as a skin for Enkidukai race in the release of [[Crystal Blue 0.3.019]].

Stone Labyrinths

2007-07-13T20:03:17Z

Suvok: Added picture and links

[[Image:Bronzedoors.jpg|thumb|The [[Bronze Doors]], leading to the mysterious labyrinths]]

[[The Bronze Doors]], located along the perimeter of the [[first le]]vel, access the Stone Labyrinths, a complex of both natural and artificial caves as ancient as the town itself. It is sure that some of them lead to places similar to [[Yliakum]] and even to the surface, but nobody ever came back to report such a discovery. The Stone Labyrinths are one of the sources of food and resources for the city.

Inhabitants of Yliakum hunt not only the animals inside these caves for their edible meat and warm furs, but also [[fungi]], [[molds]], and [[saprophytes]]. These plants cannot be found elsewhere, since there are no other suitable environments for them, and their curative and helpful properties are valuable to the people. Like all places, there are also more pernicious and aggressive creatures living here as well from each of the four natural kingdoms. Hunters and gatherers must keep an eye out for these predators, who create an obstacle for those who venture in the less controlled and more dangerous tunnels of the Stone Labyrinths. As always in places of danger, great sources of wealth are just waiting in these caves for someone clever enough to find and profit from them.

Creatures

2007-07-12T16:17:56Z

Suvok: Recaptioned incorrect Kiriki picture.

There are many creatures throughout Yliakum, in here you will find information on both ferocious (and not so ferocious) creatures as well as rogues and other vile characters.

=Wild Animals=

Rarely are wild animals found in large cities except for rats which come and infest the sewers and cellars. These animals are often the best for people seeking to train since they range from simple creatures such as rats to extremely powerful monsters such as ulbernauts. Because of this, some creatures have been brought to the Hydlaa Arena so that various people can fight them without having to look for them.

==Biorlitrosans==

[[Image:biorlitrosans.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
 
==Barn Bouncetail==

[[Image:barn_bouncetail.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
Barn Bouncetails are insects. Although not rare, they are not very common easy. Barn Bouncetails originally come from The Barn, the second level. Just like many other insects, they eat plants, however they seem to like some kind of rare flowers, making them very much disliked in the gardener's community. Luckily for gardeners, Barn Bouncetails flee at the odour of consumer pheromones, since consumers are one of their natural enemy.

Carkarass are the only type of flying creatures along with pterosaurs and megarases.

==Clackers==

[[Image:Clacker.jpg|thumb|A small clacker]]

;Appearance: An instect-like creature resembling an over-sized hermit crab.

;Strength: Fairly stupid and not a serious threat to persons of experience.

;Natural Habitat: The arena has a fairly large population of these, but many are also found in sewers and dungeons throughout Yliakum. Clackers are sometimes hunted for their meat, which is used to prepare many flavourful dishes.
 
==Consumers==

[[Image:consumer.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
Consumer are rarely seen and little is known from them. It has been only in recent years that consumer have been seen, and scientists speculate that they arrived via the great pits in which the dead are thrown. They will eat anything which fits in their large, round mouth, and it is believed that they have the ability to "upgrade" themselves from what they eat. For example, if they eat intelligent creatures, they will themselves become more intelligent.

;Appearance: A being with a large, caterpillar like torso and a massive maw of needle-like teeth.

;Strength: Consumers are aptly named due to the fact that they can eat and digest almost any known substance and have a constant, ravaging hunger. It is rumored that the only thing consumers cannot digest are certain types of magical weapons and armor, although this information has never been confirmed first hand. Although Consumers have no eyes, they possess an uncanny ability to find prey using the strange sensory organs attached to their torso.

;Natural Habitat: Consumers are rare, but can be found in the wilds between Hydlaa and the Bronze Doors. Some have been spotted on the Ojaroad.
 
==Gawerts==
[[Image:gawert.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
 
==Gobbles==

[[Image:gobble.jpg|thumb|An image of a gobble edited to reveal its true appearance]]
Gobbles are dark creatures living in Hydlaa's sewers and probably other dark places. Unlike popular believes, they are very smart, and it is said among scientists that they can even speak to each other. Their longs limbs allow them to run quickly as well as to attack any creatures passing by.

==Marfusang==

[[Image:marfusang.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
 
==Rats==
[[Image:rat.jpg|thumb|I one-eyed rat found in the sewers]]
Most certainly the commonest creature in Yliakum, rats have become a pest in the large towns. They proliferate where food is freely available, and tend to always find a way to it. They will eat the rotting corpses in sewers as well as the fresh meet in someone's cupboard. They will attack people if they get too close, however they are so inoffensive that kids often tease them just for fun.

;Appearance: Rats in this world are quite large creatures with greyish fur. They have one eye and a skinny tail. They attack you with their sharp teeth, a Rat's bite can be quite painful, though it does not deal too much damage to you.

;Strength: Due to the fact that they are quite easy to defeat, they are a good start for weaker fighters to get some experience and practice.

;Natural Habitat: Rats can be found in the sewers of Hydlaa or the warehouse district of Ojaveda.
 
===Wrathrats===

[[Image:wrathrat.jpg|thumb|I one-eyed rat found in the sewers]]
Wrathrats are very much like rats, in fact, it is not well known what differentiates them. They are not much stronger nor any more aggressive then normal rats, however, Wrathrats are uniquely found in the Death Realm. Some speculate that they are rat's souls lost in the Death Realm, looking for a way out, however, this would mean that we should find other creatures.

;Appearance: Wrathrats and common rats are very hard to differentiate, since they look exactly the same.

;Strength: Wrathrats seem to be more powerful then common rats, however it is still easy to defeat them.

;Natural Habitat: Unlike the common rats, they live in the Death Realm, and they have never been seen in Yliakum.

[[Image:Tefusang.jpg|thumb|A Tefusang creature in the Arena]]
;Appearance: A large nasty beast with leathery skin, horned appendages, and two large tentacles hanging from their torso.

;Strength: The potential strength of this breed varies widely, ranging from average to almost supernatural strength. A good adventurer would be wary when approaching one of these creatures, because it is hard to judge the level of threat just from appearance. Tefusang's leathery skin and teeth are valued for both armor and alchemical formulas and can fetch a modest price from many merchants.

;Natural Habitat: Tefusangs are seen throught Yliakum. Although fairly common, they tend to avoid highly populated places and prefer areas which are rarely accessed. There is also a colony which has been brought to the arena for anyone who would like to train.

[[Image:Trepor.jpg|thumb|A Trepor creature in the arena]]
;Appearance: An intelligent and hostile creature resembling a spider, but with a human face.

;Strength: Trepors are foul beings and some are even rumored to be able to use magic. Trepors are difficult, but not impossible to slay.

;Natural Habitat: They dwell in the wilds for the most part, although a colony of them was established for training purposes in the Hydlaa Arena. One can fetch a very nice fee for the hearts of these monsters from animal part merchants.
 
==Ulbernauts==

[[Image:ulbernaut.jpg|thumb|An ulbernaut]]
;Appearance: Ulbernauts are vicious and extremely powerful beasts.

;Strength: One of the deadliest creatures in all of Yliakum, Ulbernauts stand over four meters tall, have two massively clawed arms, a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth, a thick coat of near impenetrable shaggy fur, and they can strike at close range with lightning speed. Their one weakness is that they are slow to move across terrain. Even the most experienced adventurer treads lightly around these beasties.

;Natural Habitat: Rarely encountered, they tend to nest in places far from civilization.

Ulbernauts parts are valued for many things. Their hides and claws are highly valuable to fur and animal part traders, while their hearts are prized by magicians and priests as a component for ritual magic.
 
=Domesticated Animals=

Domesticated animals are creatures which have been adapted to work or to just hold company. The most common animals to hold company are the Groffel and the Yulbar, however some people might want a pet clacker.

;Appearance: Kikiris are small, chook-like animals.

;Strength: Kikiris can be fairly easily killed, however they can provide good training for kids learning how to attack.

;Natural Habitat: Kikiris' natural habitat is unknown, they might have been in Yliakum from before it was uninhabited or they might have been taken in Yliakum whith the first settlers.
 

==Megaras==

[[Image:megaras.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
Megaras are large bat-like flying creatures dating from even before the pterosaur. They are only found in Yliakum, and therefore, some scientists believe that they have been genetically mutated by the Crystal. Megaras are stronger and tougher then pterosaurs making them ideal to carry goods, however, they cannot carry people nor can they transport precious goods since they are too rough. Just like with pterosaurs, a person can only have in his or her possession one megaras.
 
==Pterosaur==

[[Image:pterosaur.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
Pterosaurs are large, flying creatures used to carry a single passenger.

Luxurious because you get to sit the whole time while admiring the view and expensive because the Pterosaurs have to be trained for about 3 years before they can carry anyone safely. It is also a very quick firstly because you are flying, but also because it is possible to fly from one level to another without passing by the Winch. In order to avoid air congestion, a person can only have in his or her possession one pterosaur.
 
==Yulbar==

[[Image:yulbar.jpg|thumb|'''Picture to be added''']]
Yulbars are currently only found when magical rings are used to summon them. Yulbars are sometimes used to help mine ores and attack wild animals. Groffels are usually kept for enjoyment and unlike the Groffel, it is not used to carry messages often.

;Natural Habitat: Domesticated Yulbars are usually summoned from the Netherworld

==Brigands==

[[Image:Brigand.jpg|thumb|'''picture to be added''']]
Brigands, just like thugs and rogues, also vile characters, looming around merchants and steeling anything whenever an opportunity presents itself.

;Appearance: Most bandits disguise as normal civilians in order to get near merchants, which can make them hard to spot in a crowd.

;Strength:

;Location: Although bandits steal items, they are mostly seen in remote areas.

Hydlaa

2007-07-08T16:21:51Z

Suvok: Added 'The Arena' to the points of interest on the Hydlaa page

[[Image:Hydlaacity.jpg|thumb|500px|right|The City of Hydlaa at Dawn]]
Hydlaa (''pronounced Heèd-láh''), the capital city of Yliakum. 
This page will tell you about the Capital City of Yliakum. It is where all races except the Enkidukai will spawn for the the first time and when they die. This will guide you through the setting behind the city and the names and purposes of some places. This should help people be able to roleplay their character with more ease after knowing the setting behind their home and so new players will be able to get their bearings.

=Introduction=
[[Image:hyd.jpg|thumb|The North Gate and the Windowless Tower]]
Hydlaa is the capital city of Yliakum and is mainly the home to the [[Ylian]]s and [[Xacha]]s of Yliakum. The sprawling city is found on the first level of Yliakum, the level that was closest to the Azure Crystal. Hydlaa is protected by giant stone walls and gates and defended the City Militia. Famous landmarks define Hydlaa's skyline. The Windowless Tower juts out, a huge mysterious hollow tower, containing only stairs and ladders for one to climb to the top. The Iron Temple of Laanx can also be seen as the second tallest structure in Hydlaa. There it houses the clergy of Laanx and The Book of Names. Underneath Hydlaa can be found labyrinths almost as vast as the city surface, the dungeons leading from the Laanx Temple and the sewage systems form a major part of Hydlaa. Many a warrior started out in these places, some of the mysteries have still not been discovered.

===? New Players Information ?===
Hydlaa is the spawn point for all races except the [[Enkidukai]] (cat-looking people). Different races spawn in different parts around the city

=History and Mythology=

===The Origin of Hydlaa===
Hydlaa is said to have been constructed by the original natives of Yliakum, comprising of the [[Kran]] and [[Lemur]]s. It was named after the powerful Glyph that Laanx and Talad had used to create their people. Under Talad's guidance, Hydlaa was soon populated by Ylians and [[Enkidukai]]s who had recently migrated to Yliakum from their lands via the Stone Labyrinths. After the appearance of the portals, more races made Hydlaa their home. The buildings that were built in the city were made in the Ylian and Xacha style, with the exception of some, like the [[Dermorian]] garden in East Hydlaa.

===The Ylian Takeover===
At the beginning of the fifth epoch it is noted that the new races of Yliakum quickly realized that there was no food for them all to share. The top two levels were regarded as the only levels that were fertile enough to farm. Ylians soon claimed the first level for themselves, refusing to share with other races. They built fences and walls, and began to look at books about armies and armed defense. The Enkidukai that lived in the same area were driven away and this was considered an intrusion in their freedom. Hydlaa became a Ylian city for a short while before Talad was able to stabilize the conflict.

===The Followers of Laanx===
[[Image:irontemple.jpg|thumb|The Iron Temple of Laanx]]
During the fifth epoch, a group of Xachas, led by a young man named Galeran Tarbius, created a faith based around the Book of Names that was supposedly written by Laanx. Galeran was blessed with endless charisma and willpower and was able to transfer the fanatical religion of his group to others. Galeran led the Xacha cult to Yliakum were they settled on the first level and erected the Iron Temple in Hydlaa.

=Geography=
Hydlaa is located on the first level. It is found south of the Bronze Doors region and the Stone Labyrinths and west of Ojaveda, the [[Enkidukai]]'s city. It is surrounded by large cliffs and is actually found on the innermost rim of the level, where giant Winches can be found as transportation from level to level. Hydlaa is on the level closest to the Crystal, meaning it has more light than other levels, it also is more susceptible to the crystals radiation.

===? New Players Information ?===
Hydlaa is the center of all travel. The places that you may want to get too nearly always takes you through Hydlaa to get there.

*To get to Ojaveda, exit Hydlaa from the east gate, in the same sector as Jayose's library, and follow the road across the Ojaroad Plains. It's a long walk, but eventually you will find the dsar of Akkaio, one of many dsars that make up Ojaveda city.

*To get to the Magic Shop, exit Hydlaa from the north gate - from the center plaza with the Laanx Statue, look toward a tall brown tower and make your way towards it. After exiting through the gate, continue through the forest path and then take the right fork as soon as you see it.

*To get to the Bronze Doors, exit Hydlaa from the north gate - from the center plaza with the Laanx Statue, look toward a tall brown tower and make your way towards it, but take the left fork instead of the right. The way can be long, but just follow the road.

=Points of Interest=
==Hydlaa Plaza==
The City Center of Hydlaa

===Harnquist's Smithy===
Hydlaa's most experienced and most famous crafter, Harnquist, runs the smithy in the Hydlaa Plaza. There, ores and metals can be crafted and refined to create weapons and armour, Harnquist also buys and sells these products. Along with mining and smithing tools.

===The Windowless Tower===
[[Image:windowless.jpg|thumb|The Windowless Tower]]
The giant mysterious tower sticking out like a sore thumb. Many theories have been made about the towers origins, none can be proved. Some say that it was built and houses the Octarch Engineering Academy. Due to its iron sructure, another theory suggests it was built by a Xacha sect that did not follow Laanx.

===The Iron Temple===
The second largest building in Hydlaa. The Iron Temple is home to the clergy of Laanx and the Book of Names. Followers of Laanx gather in this building to pray and worship their god.

===The Kada-El Tavern===
A bar in the higher levels of Hydlaa. Good food, drink and bedding can be found and purchased there. Owned by Kada-El and run now by the citizens and the new bartender that has been appointed there.

===The Arena===
A giant fortress can be found just off the Hydlaa Plaza through an old and long tunnel. There can be found many people from all over Yliakum who come to the Arena to train their skills. It houses many savage creatures such as Trepors and Tefusangs. Rogues and mercanarys and the more galent gladiators can be found, some employed by the Arena, some their for the fight. A dangerous place that is not the weak hearted. Merchants can also be found within the walls, selling a variety of items.

===The Hydlaa Sewers===
[[Image:Gobble.jpg|thumb|A gobble in the sewers. Lightened to reveal true appearance]]
The sewer system of Hydlaa is full of a variety of [[creatures]], such as rats, gobbles and tefusangs. These sewers run all around the bowels of Hydlaa, dripping with sewage and decaying monsters that have been fought and killed. Many seasoned warriors today started out by killing even the rats in this structure.

===The Laanx Dungeons===
A labyrinth found underneath the Iron Temple. The dungeons spread all around the foundations of Hydlaa. This maze of tunnels lead to all kinds of places, such as the Windowless Tower itself. It is full of creatures such as Clackers and Grendols, and inhabited by Thugs and Rogues.

===? New Players Information ?===
The Sewer is full of rats and easy prey, it is recommended that you start there if you are looking to be a warrior.

='''Ideas and Approaches'''=
As you know, the main purpose of this wiki is to maintain the given docs on the [[Main_Page]]. Aside from that it could provide some space for other ideas and uses for which the forums might not be appropriate for. 
If you have an idea for supplemental use, feel free to put it here and discuss. 
''For a new idea, please use the '''+''' next to the '''edit''' button.

== Guild Pages ==

What would be said to having Guild Pages?

I think it would be a good idea if Guild Leaders could make a page on the Wiki for their Guild. Not necessarily for advertising purposes, but just solid, general information about the guild including rules, hierarchy, mission, site links, joining requirements, setting behind it. Perhaps these pages should be entirely in-character. This should of course be policed by other users.

Obviously, there are other places to do this, like on the forums, but this is a Wiki, highlighting information about PlaneShift and I think that the different Guilds would be a good addition.

Maybe rules should be set in place about what type of Guilds are allowed. [http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=27729.0 Newly formed and outlandish guilds] should be restricted from creating a page, whereas a [http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=26108.0 respected and older guild] may.

This is of course an idea to be built on.

Roleplay Guide

2007-06-10T11:28:44Z

Suvok: Transfered the RP guide to Wiki

==PlaneShift Roleplay Guide==

Let's make a pact before starting: I will make it short, but you will read it completely. If you want to have a good experience inside our virtual world, it's important that you grasp all the concepts behind Roleplay.
 
 
The beauty of a virtual world it's similar to the beauty of a book, where you imagine the places that are described and, during the time you read it, you start to believe it's real, you participate to the story, you immerse into the description and into the plot. Imagination is what makes the difference, and if you start picturing certain characters, you will enjoy the book more.
 
 
In an online world, many things are similar to a book: there are fantasy places, characters, monsters, evil and good creatures, a story and many small plots, event and such. Most important of all we give you the chance to create a character, giving you much more freedom to interact and participate. To achieve that in a book you could write few additional chapters of your favorite book that describe the adventures of an additional character, you could describe his past, give certain spikes to his attitudes to make it interesting, invent his clothing style, his behaviors and attitudes.
 
 
In PlaneShift you can create a new character and have him participate to the virtual world.
 
 
What's of critical importance is that the character you will create in game is NOT yourself. He is another being with his wills and aims and fears and joys. You have to keep this separation as strong as possible to successfully roleplay.
 
 
Let's check what the dictionary says about roleplay:
 
 
Role play: To assume or represent in a drama; act out
 
 
That's exactly the point. You are asked to create a character, to think about his personality and goals, and then to act out, like if you was on a stage performing in a theatre. The more you are able to make it real for yourself and for others, the more you are achieving the purposes of roleplay.
 
 
Ok, now you may ask what the beauty of it is. In my opinion the beauty is to re-recreate a much as possible a fantasy medieval world that's full of life thanks to the people acting in it. Making it seems real, to be the most immersive experience ever, something a movie or a book will never give you.
 
 
As you may imagine it's not easy, because many people will not collaborate to this task, and "reality" in the virtual world can easily be disrupted by someone saying: "Is this a good game?".
 
 
You may be interested in what's allowed and what's not in terms of behavior and speech for a good roleplay. The answer is very simple: everything that your character will do is allowed, with his knowledge, his intelligence, his attitudes. When you have him speak, think to what he knows, not what YOU know. He can make jokes, but medieval or fantasy jokes. He should not be a hero at all costs, he can be lazy or chat all day, just have him do this with his brain.
 
 
If you start looking at the PlaneShift world this way, things will be a lot more enjoyable, and there will be a lot more to do than just going for monsters hunting or getting rich in game.
 
 
The kran looks at the written page, tilting his head a bit and scratching the top with his left hand. - "Well, I never been a novelist, but that should do it, I guess." He stands up from the giant crystal table, picks a thick cloak and looks outside the window of his sculptured stone house. He concentrates a bit and thanks to his magic vision, he reaches the Hydlaa plaza.

Suvok: Added description and New Player Info

[[Image:Hydlaacity.jpg|thumb|500px|right|The City of Hydlaa at Dawn]]
Hydlaa (''pronounced Heèd-láh''), the capital city of Yliakum. 
This page will tell you about the Capital City of Yliakum. It is where all races except the Enkidukai will spawn for the the first time and when they die. This will guide you through the setting behind the city and the names and purposes of some places. This should help people be able to roleplay their character with more ease after knowing the setting behind their home and so new players will be able to get their bearings.

=Introduction=
[[Image:hyd.jpg|thumb|The North Gate and the Windowless Tower]]
Hydlaa is the capital city of Yliakum and is mainly the home to the [[Ylian]]s and [[Xacha]]s of Yliakum. The sprawling city is found on the first level of Yliakum, the level that was closest to the Azure Crystal. Hydlaa is protected by giant stone walls and gates and defended the City Militia. Famous landmarks define Hydlaa's skyline. The Windowless Tower juts out, a huge mysterious hollow tower, containing only stairs and ladders for one to climb to the top. The Iron Temple of Laanx can also be seen as the second tallest structure in Hydlaa. There it houses the clergy of Laanx and The Book of Names. Underneath Hydlaa can be found labyrinths almost as vast as the city surface, the dungeons leading from the Laanx Temple and the sewage systems form a major part of Hydlaa. Many a warrior started out in these places, some of the mysteries have still not been discovered.

===? New Players Information ?===
Hydlaa is the spawn point for all races except the [[Enkidukai]] (cat-looking people). Different races spawn in different parts around the city

=History and Mythology=

===The Origin of Hydlaa===
Hydlaa is said to have been constructed by the original natives of Yliakum, comprising of the [[Kran]] and [[Lemur]]s. It was named after the powerful Glyph that Laanx and Talad had used to create their people. Under Talad's guidance, Hydlaa was soon populated by Ylians and [[Enkidukai]]s who had recently migrated to Yliakum from their lands via the Stone Labyrinths. After the appearance of the portals, more races made Hydlaa their home. The buildings that were built in the city were made in the Ylian and Xacha style, with the exception of some, like the [[Dermorian]] garden in East Hydlaa.

===The Ylian Takeover===
At the beginning of the fifth epoch it is noted that the new races of Yliakum quickly realized that there was no food for them all to share. The top two levels were regarded as the only levels that were fertile enough to farm. Ylians soon claimed the first level for themselves, refusing to share with other races. They built fences and walls, and began to look at books about armies and armed defense. The Enkidukai that lived in the same area were driven away and this was considered an intrusion in their freedom. Hydlaa became a Ylian city for a short while before Talad was able to stabilize the conflict.

===The Followers of Laanx===
[[Image:irontemple.jpg|thumb|The Iron Temple of Laanx]]
During the fifth epoch, a group of Xachas, led by a young man named Galeran Tarbius, created a faith based around the Book of Names that was supposedly written by Laanx. Galeran was blessed with endless charisma and willpower and was able to transfer the fanatical religion of his group to others. Galeran led the Xacha cult to Yliakum were they settled on the first level and erected the Iron Temple in Hydlaa.

=Geography=
Hydlaa is located on the first level. It is found south of the Bronze Doors region and the Stone Labyrinths and west of Ojaveda, the [[Enkidukai]]'s city. It is surrounded by large cliffs and is actually found on the innermost rim of the level, where giant Winches can be found as transportation from level to level. Hydlaa is on the level closest to the Crystal, meaning it has more light than other levels, it also is more susceptible to the crystals radiation.

===? New Players Information ?===
Hydlaa is the center of all travel. The places that you may want to get too nearly always takes you through Hydlaa to get there.

*To get to Ojaveda, exit Hydlaa from the east gate, in the same sector as Jayose's library, and follow the road across the Ojaroad Plains. It's a long walk, but eventually you will find the dsar of Akkaio, one of many dsars that make up Ojaveda city.

*To get to the Magic Shop, exit Hydlaa from the north gate - from the center plaza with the Laanx Statue, look toward a tall brown tower and make your way towards it. After exiting through the gate, continue through the forest path and then take the right fork as soon as you see it.

*To get to the Bronze Doors, exit Hydlaa from the north gate - from the center plaza with the Laanx Statue, look toward a tall brown tower and make your way towards it, but take the left fork instead of the right. The way can be long, but just follow the road.

The giant mysterious tower sticking out like a sore thumb. Many theories have been made about the towers origins, none can be proved.

The sewer system of Hydlaa is full of a variety of [[creatures]], such as rats, gobbles and tefusangs. These sewers run all around the bowels of Hydlaa, dripping with sewage and decaying monsters that have been fought and killed. Many seasoned warriors today started out by killing even the rats in this structure.

===The Laanx Dungeons===
A labyrinth found underneath the Iron Temple. The dungeons spread all around the foundations of Hydlaa. This maze of tunnels lead to all kinds of places, such as the Windowless Tower itself. It is full of creatures such as Clackers and Grendols, and inhabited by Thugs and Rogues.

The Sewer is full of rats and easy prey, it is recommended that you start there if you are looking to be a warrior.

Suvok: Tom Spencers User page

Greetings. I am Suvok. This is my user page. Don't expect me to elaborate on this too much. I'm only an addicted PS gamer after all.

=Out Of Character=
'''Name:''' Thomas Spencer 
'''D.O.B:''' 11/01/1992 
'''Nationality:''' British 
'''Location:''' Perth, Australia 

Greetings. My name is Tom Spencer. I live in Perth, Australia. I am originally from the south of the UK before we moved to Aus almost 2 years ago. I currently attend [http://www.ggs.wa.edu.au Guildford Grammar School] and I am in Year 10. Just to show off, I will tell you that I have won the Computing/ICT Award for my year group 4 years running, in different schools. I also came 3rd in Western Australia in the RoboCup Junior Challenge and won the Dassult Systems - SolidWords Design Award in recognition for my CAD/CAM skills in the Formula One Design Competition. Nuff' bragging. 
Anyway. I'm addicted to PlaneShift but I lack the...er...patience that others seem to have in the field of training your character. To be honest, you will never find a worst gamer on the face of the Earth than me. I fit into the category of quiting the game as soon as I lose. And just to round it up, I'm good and enjoy strategy games.

=PlaneShift=

I stumbled over PlaneShift's lump in the internet almost year ago. I pride myself on being part of the minority that started their PlaneShift experience after reading the rules and understanding the idea behind Roleplay.

==Current Characters==

===Suvok Fanatis===

'''Race:''' Ylian 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 73 
'''Religion:''' Laanx 
'''Siblings:''' Jomlad Fanatis (Diseased) 
'''Guilds:''' [http://yrm.11.forumer.com Black Sun Union], [http://knowledge-seekers.tk Knowledge Seekers] (current) 
'''Appearance:''' An elderly Ylian with a long white beard. He is almost completely covered by a long brown cloak, the hood pulled down his face down to his long crooked nose. The sleeves are slightly lighter, as if something has been etched out of the fabric. He carries a long, thin wooden staff. The staff seems fragile, yet he seems o be constantly leaning on it. It seems to be held together with tree vines. 
'''History:''' After being born and raised in the bronze doors region, Suvok's family house has attacked and overturned by a pack of bloodthirsty Tefusangs. Suvok, at the age of 8, ran from the carnage to be rescued by the Shadow Squadron on their patrol around the region. Suvok was then after raised in the Bronze Doors Fortress, later to be ejected and sent to Hydlaa after his dismal fighting skills were displayed. His apparent fear of large creatures set him apart from the other training soldiers, obviously not a warriors phobia. Suvok went about his own way as he got to Hydlaa. He worked for 40 years as a freelance trader. Any self-respecting citizen of Hydlaa could tell that he was not good at it, his rags and thin wirery frame clearly displayed his wealth. At the age of 50, he was convinced to join the Research Department of the Yliakum Republican Movement. Clearly to vent his anger at the Octarch's and the corrupt soldiers that had not been at their post to save his family. Soon, The Yliakum republican Movement advanced further and was renamed, restructured and repopulated. Suvok was now a professor in the Novari Institute of the Black Sun Proggressist Union. Suvok soon came to a realization. He did not believe in his guilds aim. He was doing it in order to get a revenge that he could never obtain. He left the guild, asking his friend, Tentis Halid, to fill in for him in the Institute. Suvok, the false professor, then returned to his old career of being a trader. Unfortunately, his age creeping up on him, he was unable to travel great distances between cities often. Thus ruining his trader status. As a desperate act, he finally put forward his application to the Knowledge Seekers. An act that he had wanted to do all of his life. He was accepted as an initiate, he quickly passed his initiation and became a full Student of History in the Faculty of Yliaties. Since then, he has fell ill of an infection in his leg after a injury sustained from running away from a particularly angry rogue in Ojaveda. His leg was amputated by Levrus, he now wears a wooden leg, hidden under his cloak.
 
 
Suvok Fanatis is my main character. He is currently studying history with the [http://www.knowledge-seekers.tk Knowledge Seekers] Guild. Personally, I think Suvok is my best character. Definitely my favourite.
 
 
===Tentis Halid===

'''Race:''' Ynnwn 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 36 
'''Religion:''' Laanx 
'''Siblings:''' None 
'''Guilds:''' [http://yrm.11.forumer.com Black Sun Union] 
'''Appearance:''' A tall Ynnwn with very smart clothing on. Quite thin, yet he towers over most of his kind. He carries a satchel over his shoulder, bulging with scrolls. He wears a belt, flasks are attached all round his waist. He wears a beaten battle mask to hide his face. Through the eyepieces, you can see that one eye is blind, the other is bloodshot and the skin seems scared. 
'''History:''' Not much can be said. Raised in the northern wildness, lived in Hydlaa for 10 years. An experienced alchemist, renowned in his community. Now works for the Black Sum Union as Suvok's replacement. Due to stupid experimenting while Tenetis was young, his boiling mixture steamed and blew up into his face. He now wears a mask to hide the scarring.

Tentis was primarily created to fill in Suvok's place in the guild he left. Although after I created him, I have developed a good character for him.
 
 
===Klyss===

'''Race:''' Klyros 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' Unknown 
'''Religion:''' None 
'''Siblings:''' Unknown 
'''Guilds:''' None 
'''Appearance:''' A very strange looking Klyros. Extremely skinny, his bones seems abnormally shaped. His darker shade of blue suggests bruising and scarring. His skeleton seems to be strangely developed. 
'''History:''' Nothing is known of Klyss' history. All he remembers is waking up in the Hydlaa fountain one day. Klyss speaks in 3rd person, much to the annoyance of the people he speaks with (and to bad RPers). Klyss's mental status can be equated to a young child, although it is his lack of social skills and strange grammar that sets his apart from the rest of Hydlaa. Klyss was found dead recently in an ale barrel at the Kada-El Tavern. Strange circumstances...do you know how this came about?

Klyss is my 'special' character. Everybody has an insane Klyros deep down, you've just got to let it show itself. Even though Klyss is dead, you never know when I might need him..hehehe

==Deleted Characters==

===Yalfi Kellp===

'''Race:''' Stonebreaker 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 27 
'''Religion:''' Talad 
'''Siblings:''' 4 other brothers 
'''Guilds:''' None 

Yalfi was my first character. Being the naive newb that I was, I made him an apple salesman. Obviously, it didn't get off the ground. Yalfi now lingers around the death realm, waving to people who pass his and has regualr chats with the ''DG or the DR''

===Kahan Rantath===

'''Race:''' Stonebreaker 
'''Gender:''' Male 
'''Age:''' 36 
'''Religion:''' Talad 
'''Siblings:''' Horden Rantath (disowned) 
'''Guilds:''' [http://theoutlaws.ath.cx The Outlaws] 

Kahan was my next attempt. He was promoted several time due to loyalty to the status of Rogue. I deleted him after I realized I had no patience whatsoever to train him.

===Dalat Tabei===

'''Race:''' Kran 
'''Gender:''' Male/Kran 
'''Age:''' 60 
'''Religion:''' Talad 
'''Siblings:''' 
'''Guilds:''' 

Dalat was an experiment. Dalat claimed ingame and on the forums that he was a prophet of Talad. This was all within the settings as it was purely a claim. People have the right to disbelieve him and there was no proof. I was planning on then starting a guild or disciples, but it never got off the ground. I sometimes create him again now and then when needed.

==GM Events==

Here, I will compose a list of GM Events I have been involved in.

===Saving a mage===
[[Image:Carkarass.jpg|thumb|Picture of the mage Demorias, flying through the streets of Hydlaa for help.]]
In the Plaza, a Carkarass suddenly appears flying around the Hydlaa Smithy. The Carkarass can speak and claims to be a powerful mage that was transformed into a Carkarass after a failed revenge attempt. The mage claimed that he had lived out his punishment and that he needed help to become Ylian again. He asked for volunteers to go out into the wilderness and find Mett, the man who he had tried to get revenge upon for stealing his wife-to-be. We were then to trick or come to an agreement with Mett to obtain a Polymorph Glyph.
To my knowledge, me (as Suvok Fanatis), Arunis Redwings and Oggner, as a group, were the only people to find Mett. Mett told us to get some Ulbernaut Hides for him, unfortunately, only Arunis was a good fighter, so we went to the volcano to kill some Ulbers with Arunis' fighting skills, Suvok ability to summon arrows to distract while Arunis healed himself and Oggners ability to crash when the Summon Arrow spell was conjured. After about 30 grueling minutes we came back to Mett to find him gone. Then, as if by magic he suddenly appears and issues Oggner with 50PP and leaves without saying a word. Oggner then reports having tells from the mage, requesting us to return to the Plaza. When we get to the plaza, we find that the Gm Event seemed to have disappeared entirely. And that is all we know...if you could shed any light on this strange event, please do.
