Looming high above you, taller than three of the tallest giantmen, this stone giant dominates the surrounding area. The stone giant's skin is a smooth dull grey with mottled brown splotches and its eyes, concealed under a heavy brow, gleam black with hatred.

== Hunting strategies ==
Stone giants fall to the ground when killed, and can crush an adventurer in their path while doing so. Disabling a stone giant and knocking it to the ground before killing it is wise. However, knocking stone giants to the ground can cause them to topple onto you.
An example of a stone giant falling on someone:

The stone giant rumbles in agony as she teeters for a moment, then falls directly at you!
In a vain attempt, you leap to dodge the massive falling creature! The giant strikes you squarely, crushing you beneath her and the ground!
You swing a mithril claidhmore at a stone giant!
AS: +336 vs DS: +146 with AvD: +19 + d100 roll: +89 = +298
... and hits for 74 points of damage!
Hard blow breaks the femur!
The stone giant rumbles in agony as she teeters for a moment, then falls directly at you!
In a futile attempt, Person leaps to dodge the massive falling creature! The giant strikes him squarely, crushing you beneath her and the ground
... 60 points of damage!
Incredible smash to what used to be a stomach!

Even a minor failure to dodge the fall can cause considerable roundtime, here 15 seconds (in addition to the 5-second swing):
You swing a rosy pink imflass claidhmore at a stone giant!
AS: +348 vs DS: +123 with AvD: +19 + d100 roll: +19 = +263
... and hit for 67 points of damage!
Blow ruptures the stomach!
You sense a surge of essence being dragged from the giant and into your multicolored soulstone.
[SMR result: 140 (Open d100: 89)]
The stone giant rumbles in agony as he teeters for a moment, then falls directly at you!
You leap to dodge the massive falling creature, but he strikes you hard, pinning you painfully to the ground!
... 10 points of damage!
Blow to your back cracks several vertebrae.
Roundtime: 15 sec.
The stone giant shudders and goes still.
A stone giant seems to lose an aura of confidence.
The air about a stone giant stops shimmering.
The powerful look leaves a stone giant.
A stone giant returns to normal color.
A stone giant seems to lose some internal strength.
Roundtime: 5 sec.
While they do not have blood for Heal/Harm (1101), or bones for Bone Shatter (1106), they are affected by Empathic Assault (1110). Casting Unbalance on them will stop most of their attacks, and allow you to slowly drain their life.

== Other information ==

In some rooms, [[Major Sanctuary (220)]] will misfire.

Also, if someone attempts to pull you up off the ground it will cause both to plummet over the cliff (in some rooms: u/d).

The giants use lightning as a weapon, which fries the nervous system of the target, injuring or killing them.

Stone giants, like stone trolls, recover quickly from stuns.

It is possible to be a Master of Sweep and be unable to sweep a stone giant. Don't try it, as you will only end up on your knees and stuck in RT when the giant attacks.

Comprised of solid blocks of granite, the immense stone sentinel stands and moves very stiffly. Each portion of its anatomy is chiseled in rectangular pieces with sharp right angles. It is not apparent how this animated construct moves, or how it even stays together, but somehow it does both effectively. The attacks of a stone sentinel carry the weight of tons of rock behind them. Being in the path of one is not an experience to be recommended.

==Hunting strategies==

Make sure to have a way to fight undead in sentinel area. The area has a lot of banshee as well as sentinels.

Finish off banshees quickly unless you can resist their screams...the bind effect makes sentinels much more dangerous.

If possible, cut off a sentinel leg then aim for body. Sentinels do not die from critical blows so you have to do a lot of damage.

Casting Spirit Dispel will remove several protective spells, and make them easier to deal with. They seem to be able to cast while held by the Bind spell, but Silence will stop their spells. They are also affected by the Unbalance spell, as well as Empathic Assault.

==Other information==
Stone Sentinels are stun proof and immune to many death criticals.<br>

Skin is equivalent to ASG 20 (full plate).<br>

They are also unable to be hit by open handed UAC attack need to have a UAC brawling weapon in hand to hit with UAC attacks.<br>

==Behind the Scenes==
The original lore for the sentinels in the [[ICE age|I.C.E. Age]] is that they were one of the malevolent artificial constructs fashioned by the [[Empress Kadaena]]. Following the cataclysm of the [[First Era]] of the [[Shadow World]] history, they fell into disuse as merely dormant statues. They would later be adapted as sentries for the keeps and dark castles of evil powers. Other examples of such constructs include the [[Lesser vruul|Gogor]], [[Shards]], and [[Kaeden]]. While the sentinels in the game appear almost as simple as golems, they have an array of magical properties making them considerably more complex. It might be the case that [[Estrion]] was able to construct these himself rather than acquire them, thus explaining their crude appearance, as the pedestal void was apparently created by him but is a [[Lord of Essaence]] style portal. In itself it is an interesting point to note, with respect to [[Lesser vruul#Behind the Scenes|other]] game specific lore, that the ritual for opening a [[Avatar#Dark Gods|temporary]] unholy gate to Charon ([[Lornon]]) apparently [[Uthex Kathiasas|involves]] Lord of Essaence gate magic.

Symbol of Return

2026-03-21T14:25:52Z

DRAEBSEMAJ: /* Return Locations */ Added the glacier chasm location that you'll go to on the icemule trail

{{Order of Voln navigation}}
'''Step 25'''

The '''Symbol of Return''', governed by Lady [[Lumnis]], is obtained at the twenty fifth step of the [[Order of Voln]]. Invoking this symbol will cause the player and all group members to be instantly transported (aka fogged) to one of several Voln anchor locations depending upon the member's location at the time of use. This is one-way travel only that cannot be targeted. In certain locations, such as [[:File:WL-graveyard.gif|Shadow Valley]] and [[Old Ta'Faendryl]] there are group restrictions and only the member will be transported.

==Syntax==

Symbol of Return

<small>Note: Caution should be used when typing this symbol. If abbreviated to Sym of Ret the member will invoke Symbol of Retribution instead of Symbol of Return.</small>

==Messaging==
First Person (returning to [[Wehnimer's Landing]] Voln monastery courtyard):<br>

<div {{log}}>>symbol of return
Your surroundings blur into a white fog . . .

[Courtyard]

A well maintained and healthy garden occupies the entirety of the courtyard. The air here is cool and crisp, but the bulk of the monastery shelters you from wind and makes the air bracing instead of chilling. In the center of the garden is a natural spring bubbling up several inches above the surface of the encircling pool of crystal clear water. A large stone and iron gate blocks the entrance to the monastery flanked by a statue of a woman carrying a crystal staff and a set of crystalline keys facing a second statue of a kneeling young man bedecked in battle-worn black chain armor. You also see a mottled grey hedgehog, some ambrominas leaf, some woth flower, a large fel tree and a polished marble bench with some stuff on it.</div>

Third Person:

<div {{log}}><Name> blurs into a white fog and vanishes!</div>

==Return Locations==

*Voln monastery ([[Wehnimer's Landing]] area)
*Liabo Plaza ([[Solhaven]] area)
*Tower Ruins (Solhaven trail area)
*Voln ([[Icemule Trace]] area)
*Temple ([[Teras Isle]] area)
*Ledge ([[:File:WL-graveyard.gif|Shadow Valley]]) area
*Glacier Chasm (Glatoph Icemule trail) (Lich: 2557)

==Favor Cost==
{{Spoiler}}

Symbol of Return favor cost is based on the member's level (not Voln rank). See [[Favor#Symbol Use Favor Cost|Table]] for specific examples. Each use has a relative favor cost of 10x [[Symbol of Protection]]. In other words, 1 activation of Sym of Return uses the same amount of favor as 10 activations of Sym of Protection.

===[[Favor]] Required to Obtain Symbol of Return ===

'''Formula: <tt>2400 + (( level<sup>2</sup> × 40) ÷ 3 )</tt>'''

Ex. level 15 member: <tt>2400 + ((15 × 15 × 40) ÷ 3) = 5400 favor</tt>

Ex. level 20 member: <tt>2400 + ((20 × 20 × 40) ÷ 3) = 7733 favor</tt>

==Monk's Teaching and Instruction Highlights==
*[[Lumnis]] showed us how to protect our mind and spirit with the [[Symbol of Transcendence]], and now she has taught us how to return safely to our homes.
*Lumnis gave us the power to return us and our group to a place of safety here within the walls of the brotherhood.

==[[Wehnimer's Landing]] Task ==
To gain [[Lumnis]]' blessing, one must proceed to the black sands beach area (Lich ID: 7626) and locate the hermit who will ask three questions. Success will depend on answering each question correctly.

Node

2026-02-22T13:53:27Z

DRAEBSEMAJ: /* Zul Logoth */ Added room numbers for Hall of Clans, Center

{{TOCright}} A '''node''' is a location where mana flows more freely than most other locations, which has numerous effects. A node increases [[Experience#Absorbing_experience|experience absorption]], [[Mana|mana regeneration]], and [[spirit regeneration]], and it has effects on various other systems such as the chance of [[Enchant (925)|enchanting]] an item. Nodes are not common locations. While some people believe an empath or cleric can detect a node by the use of {{boldmono|[[MEDITATE (verb)|MEDITATE]]}}, successfully meditating does not always indicate it is a node because non-node areas under a sanctuary effect also allow meditation.

A '''super node''' is the term for a room that gives 2 additional points per pulse to the rate of [[Experience#Absorbing_experience|experience absorption]] over that of a basic node. Major gathering locations in every major realm have super node status.

==Public Gathering Places By Location==

A town's central gathering point for adventurers is usually a node; in some towns, due to high traffic or custom, multiple gathering points are in use. These include but are not limited to:

==Other Gathering Places==

===[[CHE]]/[[MHO]]s===
While most nodes and super nodes are public, the Common Room (or equivalent) of a [[CHE]]'s primary house (not annexes) are also super nodes. Most CHE locker annexes in other cities, if not all, are nodes.

[[MHO]] groups could request a super node in place of a regular node for their permanent structure, so long as the node was either in a public room of the structure or the group had a large enough and active enough membership to support the node.
