== Change log formatting to be compatible with visual edit ==

Most of the inline logs on the wiki currently use <nowiki><pre></nowiki> tags to preserve formatting. This seems to have a compatibility problem with the Visual Edit functionality which sometimes erases tags and makes pages unreadable until it is fixed by editing the source. It is also somewhat unwieldy when editors have to include a margin-right, the pages look normal on wide desktop monitors but can be scrunched on mobile.

Suggestion for an alternative: add an extra leading space before every line in the log and (optionally) wrap it in a <nowiki><div style="font-size: smaller"></nowiki> element for the font size. The leading spaces will make the wiki parser treat it as preformatted text without the need for a <nowiki><pre></nowiki> tag and it behaves nicely with Visual Edit.

:Specific to the visual editor bug stripping <code><nowiki></pre></nowiki></code> from articles.. After evaluating and testing where this is happening most frequently, it appears that if there is text ''immediately before'' <code><nowiki></pre></nowiki></code>, then the visual editor will not strip the preformatted text markups. This bug only impacts the closing markups, not the opening <code><nowiki><pre{{log2}}></nowiki></code> or similar. My recommendation is to use <code><nowiki></pre></nowiki></code> on the same line as the end of the preformatted text instead of on a line by itself. This prevents it from being stripped from the visual editor. This information has also been relayed to the GM wiki team. I realize that this does not impact your suggestion regarding the scenario with margin-right.

== Set up a food shop page for the Drakeshade Cafe on Ornath ==

I noticed that the Drakeshade Cafe on Ornath (7142115) does not have an eatery/food shop page set up for it on the wiki. If someone could create the page itself, I'm happy to fill it out. [[User:JESSEDAI|JESSEDAI]] ([[User talk:JESSEDAI|talk]]) 12:22, 19 November 2025 (CST)
:For any interested in adding any new Town Shops to the wiki, the [[Gswiki:Style guide/Town shops|Town Shops style guide]] has all of the information on how to do so. It also links to the [[Form:Town shop|Town Shop form]] at the bottom of the style guide, which helps make this process significantly easier even for those new to using the Gswiki.

[[File:Sleeping_Drake_Harbor_and_Bericsaba_Market.png|400px|thumb|right|This is an image of Sleeping Drake Harbor, Agora Promenade, Tower of Pentas, and the Bericsaba Market by Alosaka]]

=== Current History ===
For centuries, extreme mana storms kept the [[:category:Isle of Ornath|Isle of Ornath]] isolated from the surrounding continents, its shores known only to the shipwrecked, pirates subdued by the Xetaki, and scholars drawn by the promise of the [[Library of Biblia]]. With no safe passage for trade or travel, the island relied entirely on [[Chronomages]]; even for the goats and sheep that became the backbone of their livelihood.

That isolation began to wane in 5124, when, for the first time in generations, spring, summer, and autumn passed without the relentless threat of mercurial and often deadly storms. As the island weathered its first winter free from their grasp, a newfound jubilation took root, and with the arrival of spring, the people of Ornath stepped forward to share their world with the outside realm.

In early Olaesta of 5125, Sleeping Drake Harbor was officially opened to visitors, marking a new era for the island and its people.

=== People ===
The Isle of Ornath's population is largely composed of those drawn -- or stranded -- by fate: shipwreck survivors, pirates who found peace under the Xetaki, and scholars seeking the storied halls of the Library of Biblia. Over time, these disparate groups have formed a diverse, if unconventional, community.

The island's inhabitants primarily include:

* Humans
* Elves
* Half-elves
* Half-krolvin
* Burghal Gnomes
* Dark Elves (though they remain rare)

While a small number of dark elves reside on Ornath, they are few and far between. Most arrived in pursuit of greater knowledge, choosing to stay for reasons as varied as island life itself.

A small, native population of Burghal Gnomes also calls Ornath home, their presence dating back generations to a shipwreck that left their ancestors stranded. Though their numbers remain modest, occasional marriages to mainland gnomes have helped sustain their community.

He has fostered more oyster beds during his time on the beaches and has even replenished his supply of jewelry that can house pearls. You can find him in the Wavesong Grotto.

|religion=[[Kai]]
|affiliations= [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]] and [[Rising Phoenix]]
|spouse= [[Evialla]]
|instance= Prime
}}

==History==
===Early years (Spring 5094)===
Geijon came to the landing in search of his father Gaq and his elven uncle Yeesiouler. Geijon was named after his uncle Geion who died fighting a troll tribe the past winter. They were from a giantkin tribe in the [[Dragonspine Mountains]]. Geijon had found his way into the Landing in early spring or summer of 5094 or 5095, but due to his learning and borderline illiteracy the date has become vague. He was skilled as a warrior owing to his upbringing and tribe, but due to age he was observant and spent a great deal of time in the Town Square absorbing the culture and differences from tribe life. This led to a lot of discussions around the well and the gradual adoption of a kind of orphan culture the Landing had at the time that included a significant amount of similarly affected youths. Mother and Father Rumbleskin then brothers and sisters Avantos, Morandas, and Evia to name a few of the sprawling numbers.

His closest friends became Cryheart, Evia and Sporati as they would delve into the catacombs to fight rats then out to the gates beyond to fight [[Kobold]]s, [[Hobgoblin]]s and eventually the graveyard [[undead]] where Gaq would reconnect with Geijon and introduce him to Aonghus and Cudjo of the House of the [[Rising Phoenix]] within the courtyard of the [[Order of Voln]].

Geijon jumped into the mission of releasing the undead for the Order of Voln. Similarly he was trying to understand the differences of [[Unlife]] within his House structure in how it was a demonic force that created the Undead. Much of the graveyard writings and the tomb had inscriptions as he delved into the [[The Graveyard]] with Thrudh and Zyanna. The Order had been teaching a form of martial arts most called Voln Fu along with a broadsword and shield on a day to day basis. He slowly started reading based on a need to understand magic and the inscriptions in the graveyard and books in the House Phoenix library. He dedicated his life to fighting the Undead and traveled accordingly to their known locations either for exploration or to deliver their spirits to peaceful rest.

Then the [http://www.gshousephoenix.com/Enlightenment/Library/Lore/FirstGriffinWar.php "First Griffin Sword"] broke out..

===Steps (5096-5098)===
Several significant events happened during these years. Geijon's first wartime experience and several more would shape his experiences and in a way, expertise in war. The first war of note being the Griffin Sword War. Led by four generals or "Hands" of the dark Lornon Arkati, Sheru, V'tull, Mularos and Luukos. These attacks lasted weeks into months as minions of the Dark Gods assaulted the gates of the Landing. Many died, blessedly to have deeds with Lorminstra to rejoin the fray. Eventually Thalior and others were able to slay the generals and push the dark forces back beyond the realm, but it would leave an ever lasting impression on Geijon about aspects of power and wartime service.

Geijon's elevation as an Officer in the [[House of the Rising Phoenix]] with Waldo2, Cynric, Hyssopp, and several others as Treasurer. The House roster swelled significantly in these years and other officers would serve in the intervening years such as Sylvine, an adopted uncle married to Lady Kate, and Eahlstan. The House was expanded to accomodate and it's missions including the Protectors to fight swelling wartime forces and a refocus of the Houses mission in general.

The Warrior Guild was established around this time and Geijon took to battering barriers, berserk training and warcry work along with Ruffelin, Shadowkatt and others who would go on to be the earliest masters of the guild along with long talks and fighting Berr at the puglist pit.

It was first around then that he had heard of the Order of the Silver Gryphon. He sought out others to know more about the recently established organization and went back to [[Ruffelin]] who he had trained with who was willing to share as he had become a member himself. Eventually Geijon was honored to be invited as a guest, which led to Sir Ruffelin squiring him within the Order.

Cryheart and Evia would later join as well, squired by Sir Ruffelin and Sir Hyoko respectively, as well and Gaq, who squired with Waldo2. Both the Order and Phoenix are cornerstones of Geijon's attitude and viewpoint as north stars through virtue, sacrifice and resiliency.

In more leisurely times the first two Juggernauts, Icemule's being particularly eventful, and cutting the trail to Solhaven in addition to his marriage to the sorceress Evialla Violetskye were highlights of these years.

==[[Griffin Sword Saga]]==
War returns, as it always does, never ending by those who want to take and not give.

At the onset of these events Geijon was battle tested and a veteran of large battles, tactical engagements and warfare. Having fought in the majority of regional engagements in and around [[Wehnimer's Landing]], [[Solhaven]] and [[Icemule Trace]]. He had fought on the fringes of the First Griffin Sword War, then against [[The Vvrael]] and the sacrifice of the Chosen finalizing with [[The Demon Queen of Castle Anwyn]].

His involvement in various organizations thus often focused on preparedness to defend, protect and shelter as well as survive and defeat the threat. If not leading those efforts, he was advocating for them.

Of note [[Germinal]] and he spent untold hours on combat awareness and moving large groups in coordination with the Wehnimer's Guard, Northern Fury, and the DDR from Teras.

He thought people were well prepared and tested. The Second Griffin War would change everything he thought he knew.

[[Image:Geijon charging trees.jpg|thumb|Geijon as rendered by [[Tisket]]]]

|religion=[[Kai]]
|affiliations= [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]] and [[Rising Phoenix]]
|spouse= [[Evialla]]
|instance= Prime
}}

==History==
===Early years (Spring 5094)===
Geijon came to the landing in search of his father Gaq and his elven uncle Yeesiouler. Geijon was named after his uncle Geion who died fighting a troll tribe the past winter. They were from a giantkin tribe in the [[Dragonspine Mountains]]. Geijon had found his way into the Landing in early spring or summer of 5094 or 5095, but due to his learning and borderline illiteracy the date has become vague. He was skilled as a warrior owing to his upbringing and tribe, but due to age he was observant and spent a great deal of time in the Town Square absorbing the culture and differences from tribe life. This led to a lot of discussions around the well and the gradual adoption of a kind of orphan culture the Landing had at the time that included a significant amount of similarly affected youths. Mother and Father Rumbleskin then brothers and sisters Avantos, Morandas, and Evia to name a few of the sprawling numbers.

His closest friends became Cryheart, Evia and Sporati as they would delve into the catacombs to fight rats then out to the gates beyond to fight [[Kobold]]s, [[Hobgoblin]]s and eventually the graveyard [[undead]] where Gaq would reconnect with Geijon and introduce him to Aonghus and Cudjo of the House of the [[Rising Phoenix]] within the courtyard of the [[Order of Voln]].

Geijon jumped into the mission of releasing the undead for the Order of Voln. Similarly he was trying to understand the differences of [[Unlife]] within his House structure in how it was a demonic force that created the Undead. Much of the graveyard writings and the tomb had inscriptions as he delved into the [[The Graveyard]] with Thrudh and Zyanna. The Order had been teaching a form of martial arts most called Voln Fu along with a broadsword and shield on a day to day basis. He slowly started reading based on a need to understand magic and the inscriptions in the graveyard and books in the House Phoenix library. He dedicated his life to fighting the Undead and traveled accordingly to their known locations either for exploration or to deliver their spirits to peaceful rest.

Then the [http://www.gshousephoenix.com/Enlightenment/Library/Lore/FirstGriffinWar.php "First Griffin Sword"] broke out..

===Steps (5096-5098)===
Several significant events happened during these years. Geijon's first wartime experience and several more would shape his experiences and in a way, expertise in war. The first war of note being the Griffin Sword War. Led by four generals or "Hands" of the dark Lornon Arkati, Sheru, V'tull, Mularos and Luukos. These attacks lasted weeks into months as minions of the Dark Gods assaulted the gates of the Landing. Many died, blessedly to have deeds with Lorminstra to rejoin the fray. Eventually Thalior and others were able to slay the generals and push the dark forces back beyond the realm, but it would leave an ever lasting impression on Geijon about aspects of power and wartime service.

Geijon's elevation as an Officer in the [[House of the Rising Phoenix]] with Waldo2, Cynric, Hyssopp, and several others as Treasurer. The House roster swelled significantly in these years and other officers would serve in the intervening years such as Sylvine, an adopted uncle married to Lady Kate, and Eahlstan. The House was expanded to accomodate and it's missions including the Protectors to fight swelling wartime forces and a refocus of the Houses mission in general.

The Warrior Guild was established around this time and Geijon took to battering barriers, berserk training and warcry work along with Ruffelin, Shadowkatt and others who would go on to be the earliest masters of the guild along with long talks and fighting Berr at the puglist pit.

It was first around then that he had heard of the Order of the Silver Gryphon. He sought out others to know more about the recently established organization and went back to [[Ruffelin]] who he had trained with who was willing to share as he had become a member himself. Eventually Geijon was honored to be invited as a guest, which led to Sir Ruffelin squiring him within the Order.

Cryheart and Evia would later join as well, squired by Sir Ruffelin and Sir Hyoko respectively, as well and Gaq, who squired with Waldo2. Both the Order and Phoenix are cornerstones of Geijon's attitude and viewpoint as north stars through virtue, sacrifice and resiliency.

In more leisurely times the first two Juggernauts, Icemule's being particularly eventful, and cutting the trail to Solhaven in addition to his marriage to the sorceress Evialla Violetskye were highlights of these years.

==Griffin Sword Saga (2002-2008)==
War returns, as it always does, never ending by those who want to take and not give.

==The Cataclysm==
Solhaven sinks.
