GS4-XYNWEN: /* New Updates:2026 */

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
'''Nerve staves''' were created by [[User:GS4-REIDYN|GM Reidyn]] and released during the inaugural run of [[:Category:Duskruin|Duskruin]]. They were sold in [[BVShop:Old Farmhouse|The Old Farmhouse]], which was closed after the June 2018 Duskruin run. In 2026, the script was updated by GM Xynwen with a new Tier 5, and an auction-level Tier 6.

Their effectiveness relies on tiered affinity with their user. Until full affinity is achieved, the user will suffer backlash affects along with its benefits.

Nerve staves are one of the few items that can provide a "get out of jail" button with the {{boldmono|BERSERK}} verb available at Tier 4.

Enhancives are associated with the Muscle Memory flare. Adding the scrip to existing runestaffs is available though [[HESS]] certificates, as are the unlocks.

|analyze= 
You analyze your stormcloud-hued runestaff and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:

SCRIPT DETAILS
<nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki>
The runestaff has a mechanical (combat) script which provides three basic types of functionality that can be broken down into the following categories:

'''{{blue|AFFINITY}}''' - A special, custom 'bonding' like mechanism. Any given item can share an Affinity with only one person at a time. Affinity is gained by wielding the item and landing successful hits against like level foes.

'''{{blue|BACKLASH}}''' - Potential negative effects, including immobilization, stuns, and nervous system damage, that can occur at random. As the wielder's Affinity with the item grows, the chance of a Backlash occurring are reduced.

'''{{blue|FLARES}}''' - Off-the-Shelf, this item comes with a 'Muscle Memory' flare that, when triggered, will temporarily enhance the wielder's Combat Maneuver Ranks. The magnitude of the enhancement is based on the degree of Affinity shared with the wielder, while the frequency of the the flare is determined by the item's tier.

Unlocked items also possess the potential for an offensive 'Misery Unleashed' flare. This flare can ONLY be triggered when the the item is wielded against like level foes by someone with whom a COMPLETE Affinity is shared.

ITEM DETAILS
<nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki>
This is a tiered item that is currently Tier 4 of 4, which results in a 35% chance for the Muscle Memory flare to trigger when used against like level foes. It also has the following verbs available: CLENCH, TOUCH, STARE, LISTEN, and BERSERK.

The stormcloud-hued runestaff shares a complete Affinity with you! This will result in a bonus of 10 to Combat Maneuver Ranks being applied when the Muscle Memory flare is successfully triggered.

ALTERATION GUIDELINES
<nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki>

This stormcloud-hued runestaff may be freely altered by any merchant who is comfortable doing so, with the following caveat: The runestaff was formed of special saplings that were trained to grow around one another. In order to reflect this, it should always contain the word 'twisted', 'braided', 'helical', or something similiar in its TAP description.

| Tapping into your <runestaff>'s power, a raw and primal force fills you with borrowed strength.<br>You struggle with an uncanny degree of strength and shake off the stun!<br><br>The surge of power radiating from your <runestaff> courses through you carrying you to your feet!
| <Name> struggles with an uncanny degree of strength and shakes off the stun!<br><Name> springs upright with remarkable agility!
|}

==Additional Information==
===Affinity===
A custom sort of attunement and bonding affects the benefits and penalties conferred by the runestaff. The first successful hit against a like level foe while wielding the runestaff will result in the staff attuning to the wielder. For lack of a better term, that person is then the owner of the runestaff. Affinity status can be checked via {{boldmono|ANALYZE}}.

Once the runestaff has attuned, Affinity points begin to accrue when further successful hits against like level foes are landed while wielding the runestaff, where one hit equals one point. There are five ranks in total (analyze messaging is in parenthesis):
:'''Level 1''': 1-199 points (slight affinity)
:'''Level 2''': 200-999 points (partial affinity)
:'''Level 3''': 1000-2999 points (moderate affinity)
:'''Level 4''': 3000-9999 points (considerable affinity)
:'''Level 5''': 10000 points

Affinity can be worked off and works in essentially the exact same way as gaining it does only in reverse. If a successful hit is landed against a like level foe by anyone other than the current owner then an Affinity point will be lost instead of gained. Affinity would only begin to accrue again once all the Affinity for the previous owner had been worked off. It is not meant to be easy but absolutely possible if some one wants to badly enough.

If you watch closely enough, messaging is available to indicate changes in affinity:
<pre{{log2}}>
You channel at a huge fire elemental.
A single dim, violet globe springs to life in your left hand. With a flick of your left wrist, the globe dances through the air toward a huge fire elemental!
CS: +533 - TD: +406 + CvA: +25 + d100: +14 == +166
Warding failed!
The orb squarely impacts a huge fire elemental, discharging the violet energy over its entire being for 65 points of damage!
The violet energy pulses for an additional 45 points of damage ...
... 27 points of damage ...
... 13 points of damage ...
... 6 points of damage ...
... dissipating with a final discharge of 3 points of damage!
You and your staff now enjoy a moderate affinity.

A surge of power flows through your fireleaf staff and courses through you, the sensation at once familiar and foreign, and lends an uncanny invigoration to your muscles.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
</pre>

===Backlash===
Until such a time that a full Affinity is shared between a runestaff and its owner, there will exist a small chance for backlashes to occur. As Affinity levels are gained the likelihood of these backlashes occurring decreases until being eliminated completely at full Affinity. The Backlash timer fires every 1 1/2 minutes while the runestaff is held. The base chance for a Backlash to occur is 4% at Affinity level 1 and decreases 1% per Affinity level gained.

Fine Print: Backlashes are much more likely to occur when the runestaff if being wielded by someone other than its current owner.

There are three distinct types of Backlashes that can occur:

:'''Pain''': 5-10 second stun
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous red filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. Instantly, each nerve and fiber within your being is alight with incandescent pain. Moments stretch into eternity, until a final wave of unbearable suffering crashes over you and leaves you reeling and stunned!</pre>

:'''Paralyze''': 5-10 second immobilization
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous black filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. In response, a powerful discordance emerges from somewhere deep within your core and permeates every cell. Suddenly a stranger to your own body, you are quickly overwhelmed and are rendered unable to move!</pre>

:'''Shock''': Nervous System Damage
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous white filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. A subtle, almost electric, force ripples through you, the current awakening a vague tingling within. Building rapidly, the faint tingling gives way to intense, wracking convulsions that subside only after the build up is released in a jarring explosion within your very nervous system.</pre>

===Flares===
There are two basic flare types. The baseline defensive flare is available on Tier 1(OTS) runestaffs. A second offensive flare is available on Tier 2 and above runestaffs that share a full Affinity with their wielder.

'''Muscle Memory Flare''': Grants a brief Combat Maneuver ranks enhancive benefit. Baseline chance for flare to trigger is 20%, with each unlocked Tier providing an additional 5%. Baseline benefit is +5 CM Ranks at Affinity level 1, +6 at Affinity level 2, +7 at Affinity level 3, +8 at Affinity level 4, and +10 at Affinity level 5.

'''Misery Unleashed Flare''': Offensive flare that essentially redirects the Backlash effects towards foes. The standard flare rate formula is used to determine if a flare will occur, and then a second roll is used to determine which flare effect will be used with some flares being more likely to occur.

:'''Pain''': 70% - Random Impact Criticals
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous red filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach a <critter>, they unleash a wave unmitigated pain upon the object of their wrath.</pre>

:'''Paralyze''': 20% - 6-12 seconds RT
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous black filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach a <critter>, they unleash an overpowering cacophony of sensation upon the object of their wrath and render <it> unable to move!</pre>

:'''Shock''': 10% - Electrical Criticals to the dome
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous white filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach $X1, they unleash a powerful surge of electrical current upon the object of their wrath!</pre>

===Ambient Messaging===
The following ambients are available but the tier requirements are not known.
<pre{{log2}}>
A faint hum, felt rather than heard, emanates from your <runestaff> and is echoed from somewhere deep within your core.
</pre>

'''Nerve staves''' were created by [[User:GS4-REIDYN|GM Reidyn]] and released during the inaugural run of [[:Category:Duskruin|Duskruin]]. They were sold in [[BVShop:Old Farmhouse|The Old Farmhouse]], which was closed after the June 2018 Duskruin run. In 2026, the script was updated by GM Xynwen with a new Tier 5, and an auction-level Tier 6.

Their effectiveness relies on tiered affinity with their user. Until full affinity is achieved, the user will suffer backlash affects along with its benefits.

Nerve staves are one of the few items that can provide a "get out of jail" button with the {{boldmono|BERSERK}} verb available at Tier 4.

Enhancives are associated with the Muscle Memory flare. Adding the scrip to existing runestaffs is available though [[HESS]] certificates, as are the unlocks.

SCRIPT DETAILS
<nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki>
The runestaff has a mechanical (combat) script which provides three basic types of functionality that can be broken down into the following categories:

'''{{blue|AFFINITY}}''' - A special, custom 'bonding' like mechanism. Any given item can share an Affinity with only one person at a time. Affinity is gained by wielding the item and landing successful hits against like level foes.

'''{{blue|BACKLASH}}''' - Potential negative effects, including immobilization, stuns, and nervous system damage, that can occur at random. As the wielder's Affinity with the item grows, the chance of a Backlash occurring are reduced.

'''{{blue|FLARES}}''' - Off-the-Shelf, this item comes with a 'Muscle Memory' flare that, when triggered, will temporarily enhance the wielder's Combat Maneuver Ranks. The magnitude of the enhancement is based on the degree of Affinity shared with the wielder, while the frequency of the the flare is determined by the item's tier.

Unlocked items also possess the potential for an offensive 'Misery Unleashed' flare. This flare can ONLY be triggered when the the item is wielded against like level foes by someone with whom a COMPLETE Affinity is shared.

ITEM DETAILS
<nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki>
This is a tiered item that is currently Tier 4 of 4, which results in a 35% chance for the Muscle Memory flare to trigger when used against like level foes. It also has the following verbs available: CLENCH, TOUCH, STARE, LISTEN, and BERSERK.

The stormcloud-hued runestaff shares a complete Affinity with you! This will result in a bonus of 10 to Combat Maneuver Ranks being applied when the Muscle Memory flare is successfully triggered.

ALTERATION GUIDELINES
<nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki>

This stormcloud-hued runestaff may be freely altered by any merchant who is comfortable doing so, with the following caveat: The runestaff was formed of special saplings that were trained to grow around one another. In order to reflect this, it should always contain the word 'twisted', 'braided', 'helical', or something similiar in its TAP description.

==Additional Information==
===Affinity===
A custom sort of attunement and bonding affects the benefits and penalties conferred by the runestaff. The first successful hit against a like level foe while wielding the runestaff will result in the staff attuning to the wielder. For lack of a better term, that person is then the owner of the runestaff. Affinity status can be checked via {{boldmono|ANALYZE}}.

Once the runestaff has attuned, Affinity points begin to accrue when further successful hits against like level foes are landed while wielding the runestaff, where one hit equals one point. There are five ranks in total (analyze messaging is in parenthesis):
:'''Level 1''': 1-199 points (slight affinity)
:'''Level 2''': 200-999 points (partial affinity)
:'''Level 3''': 1000-2999 points (moderate affinity)
:'''Level 4''': 3000-9999 points (considerable affinity)
:'''Level 5''': 10000 points

Affinity can be worked off and works in essentially the exact same way as gaining it does only in reverse. If a successful hit is landed against a like level foe by anyone other than the current owner then an Affinity point will be lost instead of gained. Affinity would only begin to accrue again once all the Affinity for the previous owner had been worked off. It is not meant to be easy but absolutely possible if some one wants to badly enough.

If you watch closely enough, messaging is available to indicate changes in affinity:
<pre{{log2}}>
You channel at a huge fire elemental.
A single dim, violet globe springs to life in your left hand. With a flick of your left wrist, the globe dances through the air toward a huge fire elemental!

... dissipating with a final discharge of 3 points of damage!

A surge of power flows through your fireleaf staff and courses through you, the sensation at once familiar and foreign, and lends an uncanny invigoration to your muscles.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
</pre>

===Backlash===
Until such a time that a full Affinity is shared between a runestaff and its owner, there will exist a small chance for backlashes to occur. As Affinity levels are gained the likelihood of these backlashes occurring decreases until being eliminated completely at full Affinity. The Backlash timer fires every 1 1/2 minutes while the runestaff is held. The base chance for a Backlash to occur is 4% at Affinity level 1 and decreases 1% per Affinity level gained.

Fine Print: Backlashes are much more likely to occur when the runestaff if being wielded by someone other than its current owner.

There are three distinct types of Backlashes that can occur:

:'''Pain''': 5-10 second stun
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous red filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. Instantly, each nerve and fiber within your being is alight with incandescent pain. Moments stretch into eternity, until a final wave of unbearable suffering crashes over you and leaves you reeling and stunned!</pre>

:'''Paralyze''': 5-10 second immobilization
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous black filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. In response, a powerful discordance emerges from somewhere deep within your core and permeates every cell. Suddenly a stranger to your own body, you are quickly overwhelmed and are rendered unable to move!</pre>

:'''Shock''': Nervous System Damage
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous white filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. A subtle, almost electric, force ripples through you, the current awakening a vague tingling within. Building rapidly, the faint tingling gives way to intense, wracking convulsions that subside only after the build up is released in a jarring explosion within your very nervous system.</pre>

===Flares===
There are two basic flare types. The baseline defensive flare is available on Tier 1(OTS) runestaffs. A second offensive flare is available on Tier 2 and above runestaffs that share a full Affinity with their wielder.

'''Muscle Memory Flare''': Grants a brief Combat Maneuver ranks enhancive benefit. Baseline chance for flare to trigger is 20%, with each unlocked Tier providing an additional 5%. Baseline benefit is +5 CM Ranks at Affinity level 1, +6 at Affinity level 2, +7 at Affinity level 3, +8 at Affinity level 4, and +10 at Affinity level 5.

'''Misery Unleashed Flare''': Offensive flare that essentially redirects the Backlash effects towards foes. The standard flare rate formula is used to determine if a flare will occur, and then a second roll is used to determine which flare effect will be used with some flares being more likely to occur.

:'''Pain''': 70% - Random Impact Criticals
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous red filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach a <critter>, they unleash a wave unmitigated pain upon the object of their wrath.</pre>

:'''Paralyze''': 20% - 6-12 seconds RT
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous black filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach a <critter>, they unleash an overpowering cacophony of sensation upon the object of their wrath and render <it> unable to move!</pre>

:'''Shock''': 10% - Electrical Criticals to the dome
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous white filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach $X1, they unleash a powerful surge of electrical current upon the object of their wrath!</pre>

===Ambient Messaging===

GS4-XYNWEN:

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
'''Nerve staves''' were created by [[User:GS4-REIDYN|GM Reidyn]] and released during the inaugural run of [[:Category:Duskruin|Duskruin]]. They were sold in [[BVShop:Old Farmhouse|The Old Farmhouse]], which was closed after the June 2018 Duskruin run. In 2026, the script was updated by GM Xynwen with a new Tier 5, and an auction-level Tier 6.

Their effectiveness relies on tiered affinity with their user. Until full affinity is achieved, the user will suffer backlash affects along with its benefits.

Nerve staves are one of the few items that can provide a "get out of jail" button with the {{boldmono|BERSERK}} verb available at Tier 4.

Enhancives are associated with the Muscle Memory flare. Adding the scrip to existing runestaffs is available though [[HESS]] certificates, as are the unlocks.

SCRIPT DETAILS
<nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki>
The runestaff has a mechanical (combat) script which provides three basic types of functionality that can be broken down into the following categories:

'''{{blue|AFFINITY}}''' - A special, custom 'bonding' like mechanism. Any given item can share an Affinity with only one person at a time. Affinity is gained by wielding the item and landing successful hits against like level foes.

'''{{blue|BACKLASH}}''' - Potential negative effects, including immobilization, stuns, and nervous system damage, that can occur at random. As the wielder's Affinity with the item grows, the chance of a Backlash occurring are reduced.

'''{{blue|FLARES}}''' - Off-the-Shelf, this item comes with a 'Muscle Memory' flare that, when triggered, will temporarily enhance the wielder's Combat Maneuver Ranks. The magnitude of the enhancement is based on the degree of Affinity shared with the wielder, while the frequency of the the flare is determined by the item's tier.

Unlocked items also possess the potential for an offensive 'Misery Unleashed' flare. This flare can ONLY be triggered when the the item is wielded against like level foes by someone with whom a COMPLETE Affinity is shared.

ITEM DETAILS
<nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki>
This is a tiered item that is currently Tier 4 of 4, which results in a 35% chance for the Muscle Memory flare to trigger when used against like level foes. It also has the following verbs available: CLENCH, TOUCH, STARE, LISTEN, and BERSERK.

The stormcloud-hued runestaff shares a complete Affinity with you! This will result in a bonus of 10 to Combat Maneuver Ranks being applied when the Muscle Memory flare is successfully triggered.

ALTERATION GUIDELINES
<nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki>

This stormcloud-hued runestaff may be freely altered by any merchant who is comfortable doing so, with the following caveat: The runestaff was formed of special saplings that were trained to grow around one another. In order to reflect this, it should always contain the word 'twisted', 'braided', 'helical', or something similiar in its TAP description.

==Additional Information==
===Affinity===
A custom sort of attunement and bonding affects the benefits and penalties conferred by the runestaff. The first successful hit against a like level foe while wielding the runestaff will result in the staff attuning to the wielder. For lack of a better term, that person is then the owner of the runestaff. Affinity status can be checked via {{boldmono|ANALYZE}}.

Once the runestaff has attuned, Affinity points begin to accrue when further successful hits against like level foes are landed while wielding the runestaff, where one hit equals one point. There are five ranks in total (analyze messaging is in parenthesis):
:'''Level 1''': 1-199 points (slight affinity)
:'''Level 2''': 200-999 points (partial affinity)
:'''Level 3''': 1000-2999 points (moderate affinity)
:'''Level 4''': 3000-9999 points (considerable affinity)
:'''Level 5''': 10000 points

Affinity can be worked off and works in essentially the exact same way as gaining it does only in reverse. If a successful hit is landed against a like level foe by anyone other than the current owner then an Affinity point will be lost instead of gained. Affinity would only begin to accrue again once all the Affinity for the previous owner had been worked off. It is not meant to be easy but absolutely possible if some one wants to badly enough.

If you watch closely enough, messaging is available to indicate changes in affinity:
<pre{{log2}}>

===Backlash===
Until such a time that a full Affinity is shared between a runestaff and its owner, there will exist a small chance for backlashes to occur. As Affinity levels are gained the likelihood of these backlashes occurring decreases until being eliminated completely at full Affinity. The Backlash timer fires every 1 1/2 minutes while the runestaff is held. The base chance for a Backlash to occur is 4% at Affinity level 1 and decreases 1% per Affinity level gained.

Fine Print: Backlashes are much more likely to occur when the runestaff if being wielded by someone other than its current owner.

There are three distinct types of Backlashes that can occur:

:'''Pain''': 5-10 second stun
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous red filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. Instantly, each nerve and fiber within your being is alight with incandescent pain. Moments stretch into eternity, until a final wave of unbearable suffering crashes over you and leaves you reeling and stunned!</pre>

:'''Paralyze''': 5-10 second immobilization
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous black filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. In response, a powerful discordance emerges from somewhere deep within your core and permeates every cell. Suddenly a stranger to your own body, you are quickly overwhelmed and are rendered unable to move!</pre>

:'''Shock''': Nervous System Damage
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous white filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and bore viciously into your wrist and palm. A subtle, almost electric, force ripples through you, the current awakening a vague tingling within. Building rapidly, the faint tingling gives way to intense, wracking convulsions that subside only after the build up is released in a jarring explosion within your very nervous system.</pre>

===Flares===
There are two basic flare types. The baseline defensive flare is available on Tier 1(OTS) runestaffs. A second offensive flare is available on Tier 2 and above runestaffs that share a full Affinity with their wielder.

'''Muscle Memory Flare''': Grants a brief Combat Maneuver ranks enhancive benefit. Baseline chance for flare to trigger is 20%, with each unlocked Tier providing an additional 5%. Baseline benefit is +5 CM Ranks at Affinity level 1, +6 at Affinity level 2, +7 at Affinity level 3, +8 at Affinity level 4, and +10 at Affinity level 5.

'''Misery Unleashed Flare''': Offensive flare that essentially redirects the Backlash effects towards foes. The standard flare rate formula is used to determine if a flare will occur, and then a second roll is used to determine which flare effect will be used with some flares being more likely to occur.

:'''Pain''': 70% - Random Impact Criticals
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous red filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach a <critter>, they unleash a wave unmitigated pain upon the object of their wrath.</pre>

:'''Paralyze''': 20% - 6-12 seconds RT
<pre{{log2}}>Several thin, fibrous black filaments erupt from your <runestaff> and swirl around each other in a chaotic dance. Straining to reach a <critter>, they unleash an overpowering cacophony of sensation upon the object of their wrath and render <it> unable to move!</pre>

talatien and vantael from the new [[Ta'Ardenai]] lore: "While originally designed to be independent city-state enclaves with shared land between, this notion of '''talatien''', or "cities of independent cooperation" was quickly abandoned for the more traditional '''vantael''', or "small cooperating kingdoms or nations."" [[User:LUNATUNES|LUNATUNES]] ([[User talk:LUNATUNES|talk]]) 23:20, 20 August 2024 (CDT)

igno skaellim meaning "identity unknown" from [[Lines_of_Blood:_A_History_of_the_Gnomes#Origins]]. [[User:LUNATUNES|LUNATUNES]] ([[User talk:LUNATUNES|talk]]) 10:02, 27 July 2025 (CDT)

"Frae Naira vers Deiam, Jae esais bevre Tua ae te Draekeche." == "From Dusk til Dawn, I stand between thee and the darkness." This is taken directly from multiple objects in game, documented among them being the [[shimmering glaesine orb]] that was given out at the conclusion of the Vismi'irkha/day-night questlines. The phrase was portrayed as the original motto of House Illistim and is noted as being an Elven phrase as the language was spoken/written 50,000 years before the current setting. [[User:HATESHI|HATESHI]] ([[User talk:HATESHI|talk]]) 21:16, 21 July 2022 (CDT)

These are probably all examples of words in ancient Elven:
:: raen utuva nole = "Wandering to find wisdom" - [[History of Dwarves#Introduction|History of Dwarves: Introduction]] (implied to be ancient from "ancient tongue of the scholars", unclear how ancient or if that could refer to something like a scholar guildspeak)
:: igno skaellim = "identity unknown" - [[Lines of Blood: A History of the Gnomes#Origins|Lines of Blood: A History of the Gnomes]] (implied to be much more than 10,000 years ago, [[Timeline of Elanthian History]] corroborates -4,500 as being a much later date)
:: sylvisterai = "one who embraces -- or marries -- the forest." - [[History of the Sylvan Elves#Chapter One - Early History, Approximately ca. -130,000 to ca. -60,000|History of the Sylvan Elves]] (has to be very early; other words in that document are probably Sylvan)
:: Note: Evolution of that language, to the point of ancient forms being difficult to translate, is explicitly stated in the carbuncle entry of [[Elanthian Gems]]. The rate of Elven language drift to distant similarity is somewhat framed by Faendryl and Dhe'nar-si in [[Dark Elven languages]].

These are apparently all the same language by inspection. It isn't clear if it is the same language as the Linsandrych Illistim "From Dusk til Dawn" quote. But if it is not some form of elven from that Vishmiir period conflict with the Elves then I have no idea what language it is supposed to be:
:: "Oralach'lan'da at'anoi, ta Marlu vismi'ir!" - unknown translation; vismi'irkha was the ancient name of the Vishmiir, known from when the elves banished them; found in the loresong for [[urglaes-set pitted silver talisman]] from Hunt for History, probably very very ancient
:: * "Anor'lan'da ta vismi'irkha! Edasva'da a'anoi!" - unknown translations; Thalenn, NPC from [[The Vishmiir|Vishmiir event]]; the Vishmiir are defined in the [[History of Fash'lo'nae]] document to have been extraplanar beings (undead) struggled against by the Elven Empire
::* "Anor'lan'data vismi'irkha, edasva'da e'asah a'anoi!" - Thalenn
::* "Anor'lan'da ta vismi'irkha edasva'da!" - Thalenn
::* Note: The "Frae Naira vers Deiam, Jae esais bevre Tua ae te Draekeche." line was used by the Alazne NPC during the Vishmiir quest night/day system release ritual when the world seemed to stop spinning, because the Gwilthain NPC banished "night" instead of "sight". This line was the (ancient?) motto of House Illistim according to former GM Lyredaen. Modern mottoes seem to be given as crest statements in [[The Layman's Guide to Elven Heraldry]].
:: "~ Dha baes'irin dha shi ta liat shi hestos i siath a shidar ~ Oraesh'lan dha laediach ta geilach ~ Oraesh'lan'da ta Gosaena ~" - Unknown translations; Real Room ID #2162016 , on the grey stone slab. The Graveyard is an ICE Age area in its original parts/story, but the Wormwood Slough expansion of the bog was added much later post-ICE. Original story was approximately 6,300 years ago, but its age / timing is undefined now. The words at least are probably supposed to be much older than the Graveyard. The Bandur character had used ancient languages in the original story.

*The elven word for the carbuncle gem is "ilaeryse", which is also a word meaning "infirmity." The word "carbuncle" is even less appealing in Common, for the Common word "carbuncle" may mean either the carbuncle gem or a pus-filled skin boil. From [[Elanthian Gems]]. [[User:LUNATUNES|LUNATUNES]] ([[User talk:LUNATUNES|talk]]) 09:11, 22 July 2022 (CDT)
*Native speakers of Common use "chalcedony" only to refer to the white form of the stone in question. As the literal word "chalcedony" is elven in origin, matters grow even more complicated when elven definitions are included, and jewelers try to be extremely precise in cross-culture trading to avoid winding up with a shipment of onyx and agate when a shipment of white chalcedony is intended. From [[Elanthian Gems]]. [[User:LUNATUNES|LUNATUNES]] ([[User talk:LUNATUNES|talk]]) 09:11, 22 July 2022 (CDT)
*Before the two cultures initiated trade, "cordierite" was the Common name for a specific gem, and "lathaer selphare" was the elven name for the same gem. From [[Elanthian Gems]]. [[User:LUNATUNES|LUNATUNES]] ([[User talk:LUNATUNES|talk]]) 09:11, 22 July 2022 (CDT)
*"There was a great ranger who knew the secret paths and hidden ways of the Wyrdeep. He guarded our borders and tended the land, and in return, the Wyrdeep ensured that his dragon-bone arrows flew true to their marks without fail. His life's companion was a great white wolf called Nyin'niel, which means "Snow's Heart." From [[Elves of Wyrdeep]] [[User:LUNATUNES|LUNATUNES]] ([[User talk:LUNATUNES|talk]]) 18:26, 22 July 2022 (CDT)
*The elven cultures almost universally consider a bookworm in a positive light, and their term, ataelel or "ink drinker," [...]. From [[Library Mouse]] [[User:LUNATUNES|LUNATUNES]] ([[User talk:LUNATUNES|talk]]) 00:50, 23 July 2022 (CDT)
*He named it a geld-aradlaiel, literally meaning "seer-stone" but it was quickly shortened to geldaralad, "stone of truth.". From [[Ferroniere]] [[User:LUNATUNES|LUNATUNES]] ([[User talk:LUNATUNES|talk]]) 01:00, 23 July 2022 (CDT)
*The navigation skill itself is called "Brou Setche" by the elves, and is a learned skill that requires lengthy training. [[Ilyan Cloud]] [[User:LUNATUNES|LUNATUNES]] ([[User talk:LUNATUNES|talk]]) 17:57, 23 July 2022 (CDT)

Alter fodder

2026-03-18T16:59:40Z

GS4-XYNWEN: /* Glass */

{{TOCright}}
'''Alter fodder''' is a colloquial term for items of various rare [[materials]] kept by players primarily for use in [[alteration]]s. [[Alter|Alteration guidelines]] 40-45 focus on materials and outline the requirement to provide a merchant with alter fodder when making certain modifications to items.

''Gemstones'' noted as Rarity 7 or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. ''All other materials'' noted as Rarity 8 ("very rare") or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. This information can also be viewed on the [[:Category:Materials#Material Rarity and Use Tables|Material Rarity and Use Tables]]. The quantity of alter fodder needed may depend on the particular item being worked on.

Items made of rare materials may be found in the treasure system or rarely purchased in certain shops and kept or traded between players for use as alter fodder. "Pure" alter fodder items, that have no other use except to be provided for alteration, may be purchased at [[Ebon Gate]], however they have been available as prizes from various games in the past. The Antiquarian found at Ebon Gate in [[EHShop:Antiquarian Manor|Antiquarian Manor]], will allow for the conversion of items into pure alter fodder, while the [[Antiquarian's Apparatus]], found at same can be used to store alter fodder efficiently.

Some materials will always be unsuitable for use in alterations due to their innate properties. For example, Rift gems with special properties are not suitable for alterations (doomstones, Eye-of-Koar emeralds, firemote orbs, oblivion quartz, midnight blue riftstones, shadowglass orbs). Adamantine, coraesine, kroderine, urnon, and zelnorn cannot be added as adornments due to their unique and innate qualities, with the exception of being used as an accent for combat items that share the material's innate qualities. Using {{boldmono|INSPECT}} on an item made of a given material will include an additional line if that material needs to be provided as alteration fodder, if it cannot be used as fodder, and if it cannot be dyed. See the [[#Restricted Materials|Restricted Materials]] section for more information.

[[Sadie]] is capable of accepting alter fodder via the [[mail system]].

'''Disclaimer''': The below lists are incomplete.

===Fabrics, Leathers & Pelts===
Fabric, leather, and pelts noted as Rarity 8 ("very rare") or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. Some materials of this type might not have a rarity number designation but are considered very rare due to their lore.

From ''"Glassworking and Glassblowing: A Comprehensive Examination of Elanthian Glass Techniques Across the Ages"'' by Isharaj Calikan, Scholar Apprentice, Order of the Sky and Cloud

=== Achvlas and Zokivlas ===
While dwarves are more well-known for mining and artisanal expertise around metals and glaes, there are always those whose craftsmanship extends to other areas. Deep within the mountains, the Gem-Eaters of the Oltregek, in cooperation with the Moss-Weavers of the Ralgrenek<ref>In Dwarven, Taklaftil and Zokveregs, respectively (capitalization is optional when speaking of the groups and their members)</ref>, use their unusual skills to create two unique dwarven glasses: ''achvlas'' and ''zokivlas.''

''Achvlas'' <br>
Glassworkers of the Taklaftil use alchemically distilled tinctures of specific gems along with infusions of liquefied moss provided by the Zokveregs while their glass is molten to create a glass known as achvlas. Achvlas is a rare type of glass that holds a scent<ref>See also the section on Ardenai flower glasses for a similar glassworking style</ref>; the scent is dependent upon the gems used, and the specifics are a closely guarded secret.

Achvlas has several uses, including as small metal-framed glass disks placed in trunks or drawers as either a pest-deterrent or a means of enhancing the scent of fabric contained within. The aroma is increased when exposed to gentle heat, so some dwarves will hang a pane of achvlas in front of a fireplace or near a stove. Candles can be placed within achvlas candle vases to activate the glass's scent, though care must be taken if combined with a scented candle, as they can easily clash in unexpected and unwelcome ways.

A small conclave of ale-makers is experimenting with storing beer in specially created achvlas jugs designed to infuse specific scents into the alcohol in unique ways. This practice remains niche, but its practitioners hope it gains popularity over time.

Achvlas takes a dye well, and the Taklaftil are kept busy fulfilling orders and innovating new uses.

''Zokivlas'' <br>
Known in Common as moss-glass, zokivlas is glass that incorporates moss, typically intricately woven into patterns. Done in panes, the threads of moss serve to strengthen the glass a bit and also to reduce glass-related injuries when it does break, as the moss clings to the shards, making them easier to find and softening the sharp edges.

Zokivlas is not limited to panes, however, and moss-glass trinkets are common with the Ralgrenek. The Oltregek gem-eaters provide a tincture that allows zokivlas to have the faint scent of fresh moss growing in a damp cavern, and the Ralgrenek moss-weavers incorporate this in various measures, depending upon either the artist's personal desire or the customer placing the order.

In vases and other trinkets, the moss becomes more artistic and less functional (though it is important to note that even in the panes, the use of moss is aesthetically pleasing), and one will see other cavern flora make their way into the glass -- lichen and tiny mushrooms being most common, all expertly worked together. Special treatments render the glass undyeable, as the clarity of the glass is important in showcasing the art woven within.

'''''On The Gem-Eaters and Moss-Weavers of the Dwarven Clans'''''<br>
'''Gem-Eaters:''' An unusual condition occurs from time to time in the Oltregek clan, wherein a dwarf has a compulsion to eat the very gems the clan is so famous for mining. These dwarves, known as taklaftil, are able to ascertain unique uses for the various gems by tasting them. Eating solid gemstone, however, is hard on the teeth, and over the centuries, the taklaftil have refined their processes in order to meet the needs of their compulsion.

According to them, each gem has a unique use when ingested by a gem-eater, and this use varies somewhat depending on whether the gem is crushed to dust before eating, rendered into a tincture via alchemy for drinking, shattered into smaller pieces for chewing, or if one works on chewing down the entire gem without these methods. For a truly gifted taklaftil, even merely licking or sucking upon a gem can release some of its unique powers, but it is greatly limited.

As an example, a taklaftil who eats a clear citrine experiences improved vision that allows them to see better in the dark, with the range being a small boost to seeing in the pitch black as if it were daylight, and if combined with a green citrine, the gem-eaters claim they can see through rock to find gemstone deposits. Other combinations assist in finding veins of mithril, and so on.

Their study of their compulsion has led them to become some of the pre-eminent alchemists for gemstone-related needs, including possible medicinal uses. The selling and drinking of gem-derived tinctures for a variety of ailments waxes and wanes in usage with non-taklaftils, but currently this folk medicine is seeing a surge in popularity in various Oltregek communities.

'''Moss-Weavers & The Ivelerek:''' Within deep-dwelling Ralgrenek communities, the zokveregs, in addition to being preeminent weavers of moss and the crafters of moss-glass, are highly superstitious and live in small enclaves set apart from their fellow clan members. Many of them believe both they and the taklaftil have been touched by the Ivelerek ('touched by' having various definitions depending on who is defining -- cursed, blessed, controlled, etc.). According to the moss-weavers, the Ivelerek are a lost clan of dwarves that dug too deeply, disturbed something they should not have, and were transformed. They are doomed to stay far below even the deepest of mines and tunnels, and legend has it that the Ivelrek's caverns are magical places filled with glowing mushrooms the size of houses, veins of rare and undiscovered ores thicker than the most rotund dwarf's middle, and varieties of moss the likes of which have never been seen.

The Ivelrek purportedly have clusters of luminescent toadstools growing from their heads, tendrils of moss and fungi naturally entwined within their beards, and patches of lichen scattered across their body. It is said they only rise above their impossibly deep caverns to claim a lost miner and make them one of their own (there are many variations on myths like this amongst the dwarven clans to account for lost miners, but the Ivelrek is strictly a Ralgrenek belief), or to guide a lost dwarf to safety (often in a dream or vision). Colloquially, the Ivelrek are known as the Lost Dwarves or the Moss Brethren.

Some Ralgrenek enclaves celebrate a holiday known as Iveltan, wherein town leaders send a representative as deep as possible to leave food, drink, mining tools, and several pieces of zokivlas as an offering to the Ivelrek. The offering area is chosen carefully for its remoteness and depth, and it is strictly forbidden to be visited except on the offering day.<ref>See also [[Elanthian Holidays/Hibernal Holidays#Iveltan: Appeasing the Moss Brethern|Hibernal Holidays]]</ref>

=== Driftglass and Riverglass ===
Amongst the Vanadre Chiras, the [[Driftglass Fayre of Van Anicola| Anicola]] are the preeminent creators of driftglass. Inspired by seaglass (and taking its name from an obsolete term for it), driftglass is created when bits of glass are worn down in river and lake beds. While other cultures may use this methodology occasionally, the best-known source of driftglass comes from the Vanadre Chiras, and more specifically, Van Anicola. Indeed, it is not considered true driftglass unless it comes from the Anicola's special caches on the Isle of Four Winds.

Like its seaglass counterpart, driftglass is not blown. Pre-existing glass items are broken or cut, sometimes into rough figures, and then placed in riverbeds and lakes. These are left for years, if not a decade or more, as patience, time, and perhaps a bit of alchemical assistance are all required for the original glass's transformation into driftglass.

Across the years, the glass is naturally tumbled by the water's movement, wearing itself against water, rock, and shore until it is polished to a high sheen. Driftglass lacks the frosted nature of seaglass, but the Anicola have perfected their driftglass process; the finished product is pulled from the waters bearing a distinctive moire pattern across the surface.

While over the years driftglass has come to be used solely for the river or lake glass crafted by Van Anicola on the Isle of Four Winds, there are non-driftglass alternatives. It is still predominantly the provenance of the Vanadre Chiras, and it is typically called "riverglass" even if its origins are within a lake. Riverglass lacks driftglass's moire pattern, but like both it and seaglass, riverglass has been weathered and tumbled into a recognizably separate entity from regular glass.

''Van Anicola Traditions''<br>
Van Anicola has several traditions and activities around driftglass, only a few of which are well-known. For example, if an artisan dies with existing caches, the van will ensure it is retrieved only when ready, so the artist's last work is complete. Special care is taken with these, and distribution of the driftglass is a decision left to the artist's stated intentions or to their closest friends and family.

When a child displays an interest in driftglass, they are taken to the Isle of Four Winds to place their first cache and brought back a decade later to retrieve it. If a child is unable to return, a family member or designee will do so for them. In those rare cases when a child has died, however, a family member or designee will retrieve it during the next visit, even if it is unready. It is seen as a representation of the unfinished life. It may be worked into remembrance art, but that is dependent upon the family. Some will scatter it along the road as they travel, others will keep it in a small keepsake chest, and so on.

It is believed there are several 'training' areas throughout the jungle, and after their special 'first cache,' children may return and use these areas, as will adults who are experimenting with various techniques. These areas are often considered a free-for-all, with some caches being seeded by the van for children and others to practice. The resulting driftglass is typically a bit rougher and more utilitarian, but it can still be traded and sold.

=== Evashiran Alchemical Glassworking ===
Evashirans' expertise in alchemy and their penchant for experimentation yield numerous unique advancements in several areas, and glassworking is one such area. The Order of Crystalline Song (Lyx'Sianla) holds the secrets to several techniques, including ''stekla'', ''perytla'', and ''evissila''.

More commonly known as 'echo glass,' stekla holds faint sounds, the whispering echoes of the original sound. It is difficult to create, requiring several disciplines of glassworking, magic, and alchemy working together to capture a sound or voice in a particular moment during its crafting (this also means the artisans and everything else must be perfectly silent in the final magical moments). At its simplest, echo glass will 'echo' a single word or noise, but the top artisans have managed short phrases.

A stekla installation often consists of several pieces of stekla holding different phrases to 'release' in a set order, resulting in glass recitations of poetry or song. When combined with perytla or 'chime glass,' art installations become a melodic orchestration of visual and auditory delights.

Perytla uses several scientific techniques along with alchemical expertise to craft glass that will create its own musical chiming sounds when external stimuli, such as wind, water, or touch are applied. This allows for several landscaping experiences, such as placing perytla sculptures in windy areas or in water displays, to create musical interludes while walking through a garden.

While both stekla and perytla are more frequently seen in larger sculptures used for art installations and displays, there are smaller occurrences of these glasses. A loved one, for example, may commission a pendant or trinket of stekla which will, when triggered, echo a whispered endearment. Small perytla statuettes and baubles may be carried for luck or sentiment as well; holding them up to the wind or gently exhaling on them will activate their inherent sounds.

A bit more prosaic, but still beautiful, is evissila. This is also known as iris glass or glow glass because of its use of meviriel (mana irises) and the resultant glow effect. While evissila may be crafted to allow for the turning on or off the glow, in its most famous state, it begins to glow at sunset and stops at sunrise, all on its own. This phenomenon occurs regardless of geographic location or time of year, and being inside (including deep within caves and the like) has no impact on its ability to know when to glow or not.

The most common use for evissila is to light areas that should always be softly lit, such as hallways and the like. It is also an excellent lighting solution for libraries as it holds none of the danger of flame, and the light itself may be colored differently upon creation to match the best sort of light to the circumstances. Traveling Evashiran may carry smaller pieces with them as reminders of home, but these pieces tend to be luminescent without the fine precision of larger, more permanent pieces.

=== The Flower Glasses of Ta'Ardenai ===
Amongst the Ardenai, there exists a glassworking style that is the envy of many an artisan; known as the flower glasses of Ta'Ardenai, these glasses hold floral scents. Similar to the dwarven-made achvlas, these glasses are typically used in containers that store linens and other cloth items as a replacement of, or enhancement to, sachets.

''Aelthiel'' is the primary term for the flower glasses, and there are two sub-categories -- naethiel (or roseglass) and nysthiel (or violetglass). Naethiel is used to describe aelthiel that uses roses. It does not take a dye, and the process of creating it renders the glass a pale pink. It is typically intensely rose-scented, and artisans can imbue it with specific and distinct rose varietals. Nysthiel, always a pale violet hue, describes aelthiel made from violets, and it also can be tailored to the scent of specific sorts of violets, such as wood violets.

Aelthiel that has not been specially crafted into naethiel or nysthiel will take a dye, and all three are incredibly durable. Other common uses of aelthiel are small trinkets and stained glass art, often framed by locally sourced woods, which is hung from windows.

''An Aside: The Unusual Obsession with Vegetable Vases''<br>
When speaking of Ardenai glasswork, one would be remiss if they did not bring up the unusual and quirky fashion that swept across the Elven Nations a few thousand years ago -- celery vases.

It started in Ta'Ardenai, where wealthier Ardenai began displaying stalks of celery in glass vases, often intricately etched or press-patterned, but always crystal clear to showcase the beautiful greens of the celery. It quickly spread, for reasons inexplicable to most modern aesthetics, and soon, artisans were churning out hundreds of celery vases. No noble entry way or dining room was complete without a vase of ornately displayed celery, especially in the winter, when the obtaining of such fresh vegetation would be a more difficult endeavor.

Other elven houses picked up on this fashion statement, and a few tried to make it their own by showcasing other vegetables. Some enterprising artisans tried to create a demand for carrot vases (slightly smaller and meant to display bundles of carrots with leafy green tops spilling over a flared top), while other attempts were made at finding display options for turnips, eggplants, and, oddly enough, the plain potato. Smaller versions of celery vases known as asparagus urns had a mild success, along with the formerly mentioned carrot versions, but beyond that, nothing held the fashion forward crowd's attention like the celery vase. Its popularity waned after several decades, but the artistry of the celery vases produced during that time remain.

=== Fractured Glasses: Coveglass and Briarglass ===
While numerous glassworkers do a style of "fractured" glass, two cultures, Paradis halflings and Seareach humans, have taken the art to new levels. Originally, leaders of Seareach attempted to call this signature glass artistry ''seaglass'', but they were ultimately unsuccessful given the fact the term was already in use and quite popular. Once they realized this was going to be an unsuccessful endeavor, they pivoted to ''coveglass'', as the first artisan to make coveglass successfully hailed from Brisker's Cove.

Interestingly enough, the alternate name of the Paradis version of this glass,''sarvith'', is "briarglass," and it is also named after a famous cove town -- in this case, Briarmoon Cove, where a gathering of halfling artisans created the unique techniques that go into this popular style of fractured glass.

Fractured glass (also known as crackled glass or ice glass) involves taking a hot glass product, plunging it in icy cold water just enough to create thin fractures, then quickly placing it back in the fire while blowing to ensure the cracks remain. The quench-heat-blow cycle can be repeated multiple times, which impacts the crackling effect. The final result produces a patterning akin to that of a crocodile hide.<ref> Attempts to call it crocodile glass were made by a few reptilean enthusiasts, but the name never caught on.</ref>

Sarvith artisans have perfected the technique of controlling the fracture, enabling them to create actual patterns and designs with these minute breaks rather than settling for the standard crocodilian look. The most renowned modern blower of briarglass controls her fracturing so well that she can guide the glass into detailed landscape scenes across her panes and vases.

Similar to sarvith, coveglass hits new heights in the fractured glass category with its durability (one can drop a coveglass vase, and it rarely breaks) and its patterning. Coveglass artists change their quenching technique slightly, and rather than a crocodile skin pattern, the end result can either be a fish scale look or a spiraled "crashing wave" appearance. This oceanic influence has earned it the nickname of "mermaid glass."

'''''On Wendwillows and Coveglass'''''
Wendwillow forest gnomes frequently purchase coveglass, commissioning sturdy glass blades for their story knives (''yaruviq''). These knives are not used for any sort of combat and are strictly ceremonial. Wendwillows have a tradition of telling stories aided by images drawn in riverbanks, snow, or sand. They use the yaruviq to aid in the carving, and when the tale is done, the flat of the blade erases the fleeting artwork.

Traditional yaruviq are crafted from antler, bone, or wood, and they are typically unadorned except for wavy patterns etched into the blade to mimic the sweeping motions used when clearing the story carvings. Changing the wooden blade for a coveglass one is a newer development but one readily accepted by many Wendwillow storytellers. The wave-like pattern on the glass naturally fits with their carving tradition, and its durability allows for years of use if well-cared for.

=== Glasses of the Grot'karesh ===
Being less nomadic than many of their kindred brethren, the Hammer Clan often serves as the initiating impetus for advances in skills such as glassblowing that do not lend themselves well for wandering lifestyles. Working from their fortress city of Kilaniraj on the slopes of Asharikan Mountain, artisans of all types are hard at work innovating as well as keeping old traditions alive and relevant. Giantman may not be as known for glass artistry as they are for their metalworking, especially with zorchar, but there are numerous skilled artisans working magic (sometimes literally) with glass today.

'''Zorsikan and Zarrkat:''' Zorsikan is a Grot'karesh glass specialty that involves the intricate working of molten zorchar into the glass. These threads of zorchar form patterns, symbols, or Saramar runes within the glass, and the final product will sometimes send lightning-like sparks within the glass. These sparks are contained by the glass and pose no danger to those in their vicinity unless the glass has been improperly blown.

Together with magical and alchemy experts, a specialized type of zorsikan is often made as well. Known as zarrkat, the interior threads of zorchar are shaped into Saramar runes governing magical actions, and the final zarrkat product may be used for the purposes the runes indicate. Common uses are for perimeter traps that fire when undead cross an invisible barrier between two like-activated zarrkat totems. However, individual talismans imbued with defensive and offensive magic are also frequently requested.

A zorsikan workshop is a dangerous place, as working zorchar into the glass is a delicate and complex process. Accidents happen frequently, and artisans take numerous precautions. Completed products are set into a protected room and monitored for two weeks. Unstable zorsikan will explode within hours typically, so holding them for several days ensures their safety prior to distribution.

'''Ishkaj:''' Also known as 'seeker glass,' ishkaj is made with ash and sand brought from afar by the Ishan (or Wandering Ones). The artisan etches protective runes into the glass from the interior, so the runes cannot be worn down with handling. This allegedly gives extra protections from undead and demonic forces, but its efficacy is mostly in the belief and comfort it provides. Ishan often wear ishkaj talismans, and they may gift ishkaj trinkets to friends and family to serve as a remembrance of their time together. There is a brisk trade of seeker glass as well, and wandering giantman may bring extra ishkaj jewelry and baubles with them to barter along the way.

=== Zehet'jad: A Dhe'nari Poison Glass ===
Zehet'jad (literally 'poison glass') refers to a family of glasses worked with additives from nature's most poisonous, venomous, and toxic creatures. The additives range from the painful but non-lethal venom of several snakes and lizards to the quickest killing toxins found in the natural world (such as from certain jellyfish and cone snails) and everything in between. The most used version comes from the poison dart frogs found in the nearby jungles.

The glass itself is always tinged a vivid green hue, but other colors may be worked in as accents. It lends itself best to small items and trinkets (jewelry and the like, nothing too large). In the hands of an expert artisan, the poisons added to the glass are rendered inert. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if the z'heta (as it is colloquially known) has been crafted appropriately other than by touching it.

The glassmakers themselves do not touch their z'heta with bare hands; indeed, it is a tradition strictly adhered to that no one but the intended owner of the art object do so. It then becomes a matter of both trust and bravery. Typically, miscrafted z'heta will show its errors within minutes of first touch, but it can take up to several days if the mistakes were slight, and the poison diluted. Experts say that the true test of a z'heta's proper craftsmanship is if the owner can wear it against their skin for sixty-six days straight and suffer no adverse effects.

Naturally, the wearing of z'heta is seen by many to be a badge of courage, but for others, it is a testament to folly, partaking of danger when none is necessary. In addition, there are whispers and rumors surrounding z'heta, claiming that the poisons within may be activated by methods known only to the artisan and the recipient, and that it can thus be used as a tool for subtle assassinations long after a piece of the poison glass has been deemed safe. The Dhe'nar remain silent on that hypothesis.

Regardless, properly inert z'heta is a lovely addition to Elanthia's panoply of cultural glassworking.

Many of them believe both they and the taklaftil have been touched by the Ivelerek ('touched by' having various definitions depending on who is defining -- cursed, blessed, controlled, etc.). According to the moss-weavers, the Ivelerek are a lost clan of dwarves that dug too deeply, disturbed something they should not have, and were transformed. They are doomed to stay far below even the deepest of mines and tunnels, and legend has it that the Ivelrek's caverns are magical places filled with glowing mushrooms the size of houses, veins of rare and undiscovered ores thicker than the most rotund dwarf's middle, and varieties of moss the likes of which have never been seen.

Riverglass lacks driftglass's moire pattern, but like both it and seaglass, riverglass has been weathered and tumbled into a recognizably separate entity from regular glass.

''Van Anicola Traditions''<br>
Van Anicola has several traditions and activities around driftglass, only a few of which are well-known. For example, if an artisan dies with existing caches, the van will ensure it is retrieved only when ready, so the artist's last work is complete. Special care is taken with these, and distribution of the driftglass is a decision left to the artist's stated intentions or to their closest friends and family.

When a child displays an interest in driftglass, they are taken to the Isle of Four Winds to place their first cache and brought back a decade later to retrieve it. If a child is unable to return, a family member or designee will do so for them. In those rare cases when a child has died, however, a family member or designee will retrieve it during the next visit, even if it is unready. It is seen as a representation of the unfinished life. It may be worked into remembrance art, but that is dependent upon the family. Some will scatter it along the road as they travel, others will keep it in a small keepsake chest, and so on.

It is believed there are several 'training' areas throughout the jungle, and after their special 'first cache,' children may return and use these areas, as will adults who are experimenting with various techniques. These areas are often considered a free-for-all, with some caches being seeded by the van for children and others to practice. The resulting driftglass is typically a bit rougher and more utilitarian, but it can still be traded and sold.

=== Evashiran Alchemical Glassworking ===
Evashirans' expertise in alchemy and their penchant for experimentation yield numerous unique advancements in several areas, and glassworking is one such area. The Order of Crystalline Song (Lyx'Sianla) holds the secrets to several techniques, including ''stekla'', ''perytla'', and ''evissila''.

More commonly known as 'echo glass,' stekla holds faint sounds, the whispering echoes of the original sound. It is difficult to create, requiring several disciplines of glassworking, magic, and alchemy working together to capture a sound or voice in a particular moment during its crafting (this also means the artisans and everything else must be perfectly silent in the final magical moments). At its simplest, echo glass will 'echo' a single word or noise, but the top artisans have managed short phrases.

A stekla installation often consists of several pieces of stekla holding different phrases to 'release' in a set order, resulting in glass recitations of poetry or song. When combined with perytla or 'chime glass,' art installations become a melodic orchestration of visual and auditory delights.

Perytla uses several scientific techniques along with alchemical expertise to craft glass that will create its own musical chiming sounds when external stimuli, such as wind, water, or touch are applied. This allows for several landscaping experiences, such as placing perytla sculptures in windy areas or in water displays, to create musical interludes while walking through a garden.

While both stekla and perytla are more frequently seen in larger sculptures used for art installations and displays, there are smaller occurrences of these glasses. A loved one, for example, may commission a pendant or trinket of stekla which will, when triggered, echo a whispered endearment. Small perytla statuettes and baubles may be carried for luck or sentiment as well; holding them up to the wind or gently exhaling on them will activate their inherent sounds.

A bit more prosaic, but still beautiful, is evissila. This is also known as iris glass or glow glass because of its use of meviriel (mana irises) and the resultant glow effect. While evissila may be crafted to allow for the turning on or off the glow, in its most famous state, it begins to glow at sunset and stops at sunrise, all on its own. This phenomenon occurs regardless of geographic location or time of year, and being inside (including deep within caves and the like) has no impact on its ability to know when to glow or not.

The most common use for evissila is to light areas that should always be softly lit, such as hallways and the like. It is also an excellent lighting solution for libraries as it holds none of the danger of flame, and the light itself may be colored differently upon creation to match the best sort of light to the circumstances. Traveling Evashiran may carry smaller pieces with them as reminders of home, but these pieces tend to be luminescent without the fine precision of larger, more permanent pieces.

=== The Flower Glasses of Ta'Ardenai ===
Amongst the Ardenai, there exists a glassworking style that is the envy of many an artisan; known as the flower glasses of Ta'Ardenai, these glasses hold floral scents. Similar to the dwarven-made achvlas, these glasses are typically used in containers that store linens and other cloth items as a replacement of, or enhancement to, sachets.

''Aelthiel'' is the primary term for the flower glasses, and there are two sub-categories -- naethiel (or roseglass) and nysthiel (or violetglass). Naethiel is used to describe aelthiel that uses roses. It does not take a dye, and the process of creating it renders the glass a pale pink. It is typically intensely rose-scented, and artisans can imbue it with specific and distinct rose varietals. Nysthiel, always a pale violet hue, describes aelthiel made from violets, and it also can be tailored to the scent of specific sorts of violets, such as wood violets.

Aelthiel that has not been specially crafted into naethiel or nysthiel will take a dye, and all three are incredibly durable. Other common uses of aelthiel are small trinkets and stained glass art, often framed by locally sourced woods, which is hung from windows.

''An Aside: The Unusual Obsession with Vegetable Vases''<br>
When speaking of Ardenai glasswork, one would be remiss if they did not bring up the unusual and quirky fashion that swept across the Elven Nations a few thousand years ago -- celery vases.

It started in Ta'Ardenai, where wealthier Ardenai began displaying stalks of celery in glass vases, often intricately etched or press-patterned, but always crystal clear to showcase the beautiful greens of the celery. It quickly spread, for reasons inexplicable to most modern aesthetics, and soon, artisans were churning out hundreds of celery vases. No noble entry way or dining room was complete without a vase of ornately displayed celery, especially in the winter, when the obtaining of such fresh vegetation would be a more difficult endeavor.

Other elven houses picked up on this fashion statement, and a few tried to make it their own by showcasing other vegetables. Some enterprising artisans tried to create a demand for carrot vases (slightly smaller and meant to display bundles of carrots with leafy green tops spilling over a flared top), while other attempts were made at finding display options for turnips, eggplants, and, oddly enough, the plain potato. Smaller versions of celery vases known as asparagus urns had a mild success, along with the formerly mentioned carrot versions, but beyond that, nothing held the fashion forward crowd's attention like the celery vase. Its popularity waned after several decades, but the artistry of the celery vases produced during that time remain.

=== Fractured Glasses: Coveglass and Briarglass ===
While numerous glassworkers do a style of "fractured" glass, two cultures, Paradis halflings and Seareach humans, have taken the art to new levels. Originally, leaders of Seareach attempted to call this signature glass artistry ''seaglass'', but they were ultimately unsuccessful given the fact the term was already in use and quite popular. Once they realized this was going to be an unsuccessful endeavor, they pivoted to ''coveglass'', as the first artisan to make coveglass successfully hailed from Brisker's Cove.

Interestingly enough, the alternate name of the Paradis version of this glass,''sarvith'', is "briarglass," and it is also named after a famous cove town -- in this case, Briarmoon Cove, where a gathering of halfling artisans created the unique techniques that go into this popular style of fractured glass.

Fractured glass (also known as crackled glass or ice glass) involves taking a hot glass product, plunging it in icy cold water just enough to create thin fractures, then quickly placing it back in the fire while blowing to ensure the cracks remain. The quench-heat-blow cycle can be repeated multiple times, which impacts the crackling effect. The final result produces a patterning akin to that of a crocodile hide.<ref> Attempts to call it crocodile glass were made by a few reptilean enthusiasts, but the name never caught on.</ref>

Sarvith artisans have perfected the technique of controlling the fracture, enabling them to create actual patterns and designs with these minute breaks rather than settling for the standard crocodilian look. The most renowned modern blower of briarglass controls her fracturing so well that she can guide the glass into detailed landscape scenes across her panes and vases.

Similar to sarvith, coveglass hits new heights in the fractured glass category with its durability (one can drop a coveglass vase, and it rarely breaks) and its patterning. Coveglass artists change their quenching technique slightly, and rather than a crocodile skin pattern, the end result can either be a fish scale look or a spiraled "crashing wave" appearance. This oceanic influence has earned it the nickname of "mermaid glass."

'''''On Wendwillows and Coveglass'''''
Wendwillow forest gnomes frequently purchase coveglass, commissioning sturdy glass blades for their story knives (''yaruviq''). These knives are not used for any sort of combat and are strictly ceremonial. Wendwillows have a tradition of telling stories aided by images drawn in riverbanks, snow, or sand. They use the yaruviq to aid in the carving, and when the tale is done, the flat of the blade erases the fleeting artwork.

Traditional yaruviq are crafted from antler, bone, or wood, and they are typically unadorned except for wavy patterns etched into the blade to mimic the sweeping motions used when clearing the story carvings. Changing the wooden blade for a coveglass one is a newer development but one readily accepted by many Wendwillow storytellers. The wave-like pattern on the glass naturally fits with their carving tradition, and its durability allows for years of use if well-cared for.

=== Glasses of the Grot'karesh ===
Being less nomadic than many of their kindred brethren, the Hammer Clan often serves as the initiating impetus for advances in skills such as glassblowing that do not lend themselves well for wandering lifestyles. Working from their fortress city of Kilaniraj on the slopes of Asharikan Mountain, artisans of all types are hard at work innovating as well as keeping old traditions alive and relevant. Giantman may not be as known for glass artistry as they are for their metalworking, especially with zorchar, but there are numerous skilled artisans working magic (sometimes literally) with glass today.

'''Zorsikan and Zarrkat:''' Zorsikan is a Grot'karesh glass specialty that involves the intricate working of molten zorchar into the glass. These threads of zorchar form patterns, symbols, or Saramar runes within the glass, and the final product will sometimes send lightning-like sparks within the glass. These sparks are contained by the glass and pose no danger to those in their vicinity unless the glass has been improperly blown.

Together with magical and alchemy experts, a specialized type of zorsikan is often made as well. Known as zarrkat, the interior threads of zorchar are shaped into Saramar runes governing magical actions, and the final zarrkat product may be used for the purposes the runes indicate. Common uses are for perimeter traps that fire when undead cross an invisible barrier between two like-activated zarrkat totems. However, individual talismans imbued with defensive and offensive magic are also frequently requested.

A zorsikan workshop is a dangerous place, as working zorchar into the glass is a delicate and complex process. Accidents happen frequently, and artisans take numerous precautions. Completed products are set into a protected room and monitored for two weeks. Unstable zorsikan will explode within hours typically, so holding them for several days ensures their safety prior to distribution.

'''Ishkaj:''' Also known as 'seeker glass,' ishkaj is made with ash and sand brought from afar by the Ishan (or Wandering Ones). The artisan etches protective runes into the glass from the interior, so the runes cannot be worn down with handling. This allegedly gives extra protections from undead and demonic forces, but its efficacy is mostly in the belief and comfort it provides. Ishan often wear ishkaj talismans, and they may gift ishkaj trinkets to friends and family to serve as a remembrance of their time together. There is a brisk trade of seeker glass as well, and wandering giantman may bring extra ishkaj jewelry and baubles with them to barter along the way.

=== Zehet'jad: A Dhe'nari Poison Glass ===
Zehet'jad (literally 'poison glass') refers to a family of glasses worked with additives from nature's most poisonous, venomous, and toxic creatures. The additives range from the painful but non-lethal venom of several snakes and lizards to the quickest killing toxins found in the natural world (such as from certain jellyfish and cone snails) and everything in between. The most used version comes from the poison dart frogs found in the nearby jungles.

The glass itself is always tinged a vivid green hue, but other colors may be worked in as accents. It lends itself best to small items and trinkets (jewelry and the like, nothing too large). In the hands of an expert artisan, the poisons added to the glass are rendered inert. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if the z'heta (as it is colloquially known) has been crafted appropriately other than by touching it.

The glassmakers themselves do not touch their z'heta with bare hands; indeed, it is a tradition strictly adhered to that no one but the intended owner of the art object do so. It then becomes a matter of both trust and bravery. Typically, miscrafted z'heta will show its errors within minutes of first touch, but it can take up to several days if the mistakes were slight, and the poison diluted. Experts say that the true test of a z'heta's proper craftsmanship is if the owner can wear it against their skin for sixty-six days straight and suffer no adverse effects.

Naturally, the wearing of z'heta is seen by many to be a badge of courage, but for others, it is a testament to folly, partaking of danger when none is necessary. In addition, there are whispers and rumors surrounding z'heta, claiming that the poisons within may be activated by methods known only to the artisan and the recipient, and that it can thus be used as a tool for subtle assassinations long after a piece of the poison glass has been deemed safe. The Dhe'nar remain silent on that hypothesis.

Regardless, properly inert z'heta is a lovely addition to Elanthia's panoply of cultural glassworking.

=== Achvlas and Zokivlas ===
While dwarves are more well-known for mining and artisanal expertise around metals and glaes, there are always those whose craftsmanship extends to other areas. Deep within the mountains, the Gem-Eaters of the Oltregek, in cooperation with the Moss-Weavers of the Ralgrenek<ref>In Dwarven, Taklaftil and Zokveregs, respectively (capitalization is optional when speaking of the groups and their members)</ref>, use their unusual skills to create two unique dwarven glasses: ''achvlas'' and ''zokivlas.''

''Achvlas'' <br>
Glassworkers of the Taklaftil use alchemically distilled tinctures of specific gems along with infusions of liquefied moss provided by the Zokveregs while their glass is molten to create a glass known as achvlas. Achvlas is a rare type of glass that holds a scent<ref>See also the section on Ardenai flower glasses for a similar glassworking style</ref>; the scent is dependent upon the gems used, and the specifics are a closely guarded secret.

Achvlas has several uses, including as small metal-framed glass disks placed in trunks or drawers as either a pest-deterrent or a means of enhancing the scent of fabric contained within. The aroma is increased when exposed to gentle heat, so some dwarves will hang a pane of achvlas in front of a fireplace or near a stove. Candles can be placed within achvlas candle vases to activate the glass's scent, though care must be taken if combined with a scented candle, as they can easily clash in unexpected and unwelcome ways.

A small conclave of ale-makers is experimenting with storing beer in specially created achvlas jugs designed to infuse specific scents into the alcohol in unique ways. This practice remains niche, but its practitioners hope it gains popularity over time.

Achvlas takes a dye well, and the Taklaftil are kept busy fulfilling orders and innovating new uses.

''Zokivlas'' <br>
Known in Common as moss-glass, zokivlas is glass that incorporates moss, typically intricately woven into patterns. Done in panes, the threads of moss serve to strengthen the glass a bit and also to reduce glass-related injuries when it does break, as the moss clings to the shards, making them easier to find and softening the sharp edges.

Zokivlas is not limited to panes, however, and moss-glass trinkets are common with the Ralgrenek. The Oltregek gem-eaters provide a tincture that allows zokivlas to have the faint scent of fresh moss growing in a damp cavern, and the Ralgrenek moss-weavers incorporate this in various measures, depending upon either the artist's personal desire or the customer placing the order.

In vases and other trinkets, the moss becomes more artistic and less functional (though it is important to note that even in the panes, the use of moss is aesthetically pleasing), and one will see other cavern flora make their way into the glass -- lichen and tiny mushrooms being most common, all expertly worked together. Special treatments render the glass undyeable, as the clarity of the glass is important in showcasing the art woven within.

'''''On The Gem-Eaters and Moss-Weavers of the Dwarven Clans'''''<br>
'''Gem-Eaters:''' An unusual condition occurs from time to time in the Oltregek clan, wherein a dwarf has a compulsion to eat the very gems the clan is so famous for mining. These dwarves, known as taklaftil, are able to ascertain unique uses for the various gems by tasting them. Eating solid gemstone, however, is hard on the teeth, and over the centuries, the taklaftil have refined their processes in order to meet the needs of their compulsion.

According to them, each gem has a unique use when ingested by a gem-eater, and this use varies somewhat depending on whether the gem is crushed to dust before eating, rendered into a tincture via alchemy for drinking, shattered into smaller pieces for chewing, or if one works on chewing down the entire gem without these methods. For a truly gifted taklaftil, even merely licking or sucking upon a gem can release some of its unique powers, but it is greatly limited.

As an example, a taklaftil who eats a clear citrine experiences improved vision that allows them to see better in the dark, with the range being a small boost to seeing in the pitch black as if it were daylight, and if combined with a green citrine, the gem-eaters claim they can see through rock to find gemstone deposits. Other combinations assist in finding veins of mithril, and so on.

Their study of their compulsion has led them to become some of the pre-eminent alchemists for gemstone-related needs, including possible medicinal uses. The selling and drinking of gem-derived tinctures for a variety of ailments waxes and wanes in usage with non-taklaftils, but currently this folk medicine is seeing a surge in popularity in various Oltregek communities.

'''Moss-Weavers & The Ivelerek:''' Within deep-dwelling Ralgrenek communities, the zokveregs, in addition to being preeminent weavers of moss and the crafters of moss-glass, are highly superstitious and live in small enclaves set apart from their fellow clan members. Many of them believe both they and the taklaftil have been touched by the Ivelerek ('touched by' having various definitions depending on who is defining -- cursed, blessed, controlled, etc.). According to the moss-weavers, the Ivelerek are a lost clan of dwarves that dug too deeply, disturbed something they should not have, and were transformed. They are doomed to stay far below even the deepest of mines and tunnels, and legend has it that the Ivelrek's caverns are magical places filled with glowing mushrooms the size of houses, veins of rare and undiscovered ores thicker than the most rotund dwarf's middle, and varieties of moss the likes of which have never been seen.

The Ivelrek purportedly have clusters of luminescent toadstools growing from their heads, tendrils of moss and fungi naturally entwined within their beards, and patches of lichen scattered across their body. It is said they only rise above their impossibly deep caverns to claim a lost miner and make them one of their own (there are many variations on myths like this amongst the dwarven clans to account for lost miners, but the Ivelrek is strictly a Ralgrenek belief), or to guide a lost dwarf to safety (often in a dream or vision). Colloquially, the Ivelrek are known as the Lost Dwarves or the Moss Brethren.

Some Ralgrenek enclaves celebrate a holiday known as Iveltan, wherein town leaders send a representative as deep as possible to leave food, drink, mining tools, and several pieces of zokivlas as an offering to the Ivelrek. The offering area is chosen carefully for its remoteness and depth, and it is strictly forbidden to be visited except on the offering day.<ref>See also [https://gswiki.play.net/Elanthian_Holidays/Hibernal_Holidays#Iveltan:_Appeasing_the_Moss_Brethern Hibernal Holidays]</ref>

=== Driftglass and Riverglass ===
Amongst the Vanadre Chiras, the [[Driftglass Fayre of Van Anicola| Anicola]] are the preeminent creators of driftglass. Inspired by seaglass (and taking its name from an obsolete term for it), driftglass is created when bits of glass are worn down in river and lake beds. While other cultures may use this methodology occasionally, the best-known source of driftglass comes from the Vanadre Chiras, and more specifically, Van Anicola. Indeed, it is not considered true driftglass unless it comes from the Anicola's special caches on the Isle of Four Winds.

Like its seaglass counterpart, driftglass is not blown. Pre-existing glass items are broken or cut, sometimes into rough figures, and then placed in riverbeds and lakes. These are left for years, if not a decade or more, as patience, time, and perhaps a bit of alchemical assistance are all required for the original glass's transformation into driftglass.

Across the years, the glass is naturally tumbled by the water's movement, wearing itself against water, rock, and shore until it is polished to a high sheen. Driftglass lacks the frosted nature of seaglass, but the Anicola have perfected their driftglass process; the finished product is pulled from the waters bearing a distinctive moire pattern across the surface.

While over the years driftglass has come to be used solely for the river or lake glass crafted by Van Anicola on the Isle of Four Winds, there are non-driftglass alternatives. It is still predominantly the provenance of the Vanadre Chiras, and it is typically called "riverglass" even if its origins are within a lake. Riverglass lacks driftglass's moire pattern, but like both it and seaglass, riverglass has been weathered and tumbled into a recognizably separate entity from regular glass.

''Van Anicola Traditions''<br>
Van Anicola has several traditions and activities around driftglass, only a few of which are well-known. For example, if an artisan dies with existing caches, the van will ensure it is retrieved only when ready, so the artist's last work is complete. Special care is taken with these, and distribution of the driftglass is a decision left to the artist's stated intentions or to their closest friends and family.

When a child displays an interest in driftglass, they are taken to the Isle of Four Winds to place their first cache and brought back a decade later to retrieve it. If a child is unable to return, a family member or designee will do so for them. In those rare cases when a child has died, however, a family member or designee will retrieve it during the next visit, even if it is unready. It is seen as a representation of the unfinished life. It may be worked into remembrance art, but that is dependent upon the family. Some will scatter it along the road as they travel, others will keep it in a small keepsake chest, and so on.

It is believed there are several 'training' areas throughout the jungle, and after their special 'first cache,' children may return and use these areas, as will adults who are experimenting with various techniques. These areas are often considered a free-for-all, with some caches being seeded by the van for children and others to practice. The resulting driftglass is typically a bit rougher and more utilitarian, but it can still be traded and sold.

=== Evashiran Alchemical Glassworking ===
Evashirans' expertise in alchemy and their penchant for experimentation yield numerous unique advancements in several areas, and glassworking is one such area. The Order of Crystalline Song (Lyx'Sianla) holds the secrets to several techniques, including ''stekla'', ''perytla'', and ''evissila''.

More commonly known as 'echo glass,' stekla holds faint sounds, the whispering echoes of the original sound. It is difficult to create, requiring several disciplines of glassworking, magic, and alchemy working together to capture a sound or voice in a particular moment during its crafting (this also means the artisans and everything else must be perfectly silent in the final magical moments). At its simplest, echo glass will 'echo' a single word or noise, but the top artisans have managed short phrases.

A stekla installation often consists of several pieces of stekla holding different phrases to 'release' in a set order, resulting in glass recitations of poetry or song. When combined with perytla or 'chime glass,' art installations become a melodic orchestration of visual and auditory delights.

Perytla uses several scientific techniques along with alchemical expertise to craft glass that will create its own musical chiming sounds when external stimuli, such as wind, water, or touch are applied. This allows for several landscaping experiences, such as placing perytla sculptures in windy areas or in water displays, to create musical interludes while walking through a garden.

While both stekla and perytla are more frequently seen in larger sculptures used for art installations and displays, there are smaller occurrences of these glasses. A loved one, for example, may commission a pendant or trinket of stekla which will, when triggered, echo a whispered endearment. Small perytla statuettes and baubles may be carried for luck or sentiment as well; holding them up to the wind or gently exhaling on them will activate their inherent sounds.

A bit more prosaic, but still beautiful, is evissila. This is also known as iris glass or glow glass because of its use of meviriel (mana irises) and the resultant glow effect. While evissila may be crafted to allow for the turning on or off the glow, in its most famous state, it begins to glow at sunset and stops at sunrise, all on its own. This phenomenon occurs regardless of geographic location or time of year, and being inside (including deep within caves and the like) has no impact on its ability to know when to glow or not.

The most common use for evissila is to light areas that should always be softly lit, such as hallways and the like. It is also an excellent lighting solution for libraries as it holds none of the danger of flame, and the light itself may be colored differently upon creation to match the best sort of light to the circumstances. Traveling Evashiran may carry smaller pieces with them as reminders of home, but these pieces tend to be luminescent without the fine precision of larger, more permanent pieces.

=== The Flower Glasses of Ta'Ardenai ===
Amongst the Ardenai, there exists a glassworking style that is the envy of many an artisan; known as the flower glasses of Ta'Ardenai, these glasses hold floral scents. Similar to the dwarven-made achvlas, these glasses are typically used in containers that store linens and other cloth items as a replacement of, or enhancement to, sachets.

''Aelthiel'' is the primary term for the flower glasses, and there are two sub-categories -- naethiel (or roseglass) and nysthiel (or violetglass). Naethiel is used to describe aelthiel that uses roses. It does not take a dye, and the process of creating it renders the glass a pale pink.

Aelthiel that has not been specially crafted into naethiel or nysthiel will take a dye, and all three are incredibly durable. Other common uses of aelthiel are small trinkets and stained glass art, often framed by locally sourced woods, which is hung from windows.

Traditional yaruviq are crafted from antler, bone, or wood, and they are typically unadorned except for wavy patterns etched into the blade to mimic the sweeping motions used when clearing the story carvings. Changing the wooden blade for a coveglass one is a newer development but one readily accepted by many Wendwillow storytellers. The wave-like pattern on the glass naturally fits with their carving tradition, and its durability allows for years of use if well-cared for.

=== Glasses of the Grot'karesh ===
Being less nomadic than many of their kindred brethren, the Hammer Clan often serves as the initiating impetus for advances in skills such as glassblowing that do not lend themselves well for wandering lifestyles. Working from their fortress city of Kilaniraj on the slopes of Asharikan Mountain, artisans of all types are hard at work innovating as well as keeping old traditions alive and relevant. Giantman may not be as known for glass artistry as they are for their metalworking, especially with zorchar, but there are numerous skilled artisans working magic (sometimes literally) with glass today.

'''Zorsikan and Zarrkat:''' Zorsikan is a Grot'karesh glass specialty that involves the intricate working of molten zorchar into the glass. These threads of zorchar form patterns, symbols, or Saramar runes within the glass, and the final product will sometimes send lightning-like sparks within the glass. These sparks are contained by the glass and pose no danger to those in their vicinity unless the glass has been improperly blown.

Together with magical and alchemy experts, a specialized type of zorsikan is often made as well. Known as zarrkat, the interior threads of zorchar are shaped into Saramar runes governing magical actions, and the final zarrkat product may be used for the purposes the runes indicate. Common uses are for perimeter traps that fire when undead cross an invisible barrier between two like-activated zarrkat totems. However, individual talismans imbued with defensive and offensive magic are also frequently requested.

A zorsikan workshop is a dangerous place, as working zorchar into the glass is a delicate and complex process. Accidents happen frequently, and artisans take numerous precautions. Completed products are set into a protected room and monitored for two weeks. Unstable zorsikan will explode within hours typically, so holding them for several days ensures their safety prior to distribution.

'''Ishkaj:''' Also known as 'seeker glass,' ishkaj is made with ash and sand brought from afar by the Ishan (or Wandering Ones). The artisan etches protective runes into the glass from the interior, so the runes cannot be worn down with handling. This allegedly gives extra protections from undead and demonic forces, but its efficacy is mostly in the belief and comfort it provides. Ishan often wear ishkaj talismans, and they may gift ishkaj trinkets to friends and family to serve as a remembrance of their time together. There is a brisk trade of seeker glass as well, and wandering giantman may bring extra ishkaj jewelry and baubles with them to barter along the way.

=== Zehet'jad: A Dhe'narsi Poison Glass ===
Zehet'jad (literally 'poison glass') refers to a family of glasses worked with additives from nature's most poisonous, venomous, and toxic creatures. The additives range from the painful but non-lethal venom of several snakes and lizards to the quickest killing toxins found in the natural world (such as from certain jellyfish and cone snails) and everything in between. The most used version comes from the poison dart frogs found in the nearby jungles.

The glass itself is always tinged a vivid green hue, but other colors may be worked in as accents. It lends itself best to small items and trinkets (jewelry and the like, nothing too large). In the hands of an expert artisan, the poisons added to the glass are rendered inert. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if the z'heta (as it is colloquially known) has been crafted appropriately other than by touching it.

The glassmakers themselves do not touch their z'heta with bare hands; indeed, it is a tradition strictly adhered to that no one but the intended owner of the art object do so. It then becomes a matter of both trust and bravery. Typically, miscrafted z'heta will show its errors within minutes of first touch, but it can take up to several days if the mistakes were slight, and the poison diluted. Experts say that the true test of a z'heta's proper craftsmanship is if the owner can wear it against their skin for sixty-six days straight and suffer no adverse effects.

Naturally, the wearing of z'heta is seen by many to be a badge of courage, but for others, it is a testament to folly, partaking of danger when none is necessary. In addition, there are whispers and rumors surrounding z'heta, claiming that the poisons within may be activated by methods known only to the artisan and the recipient, and that it can thus be used as a tool for subtle assassinations long after a piece of the poison glass has been deemed safe. The Dhe'nar remain silent on that hypothesis.

Regardless, properly inert z'heta is a lovely addition to Elanthia's panoply of cultural glassworking.

=== Achvlas and Zokivlas ===
While dwarves are more well-known for mining and artisanal expertise around metals and glaes, there are always those whose craftsmanship extends to other areas. Deep within the mountains, the Gem-Eaters of the Oltregek, in cooperation with the Moss-Weavers of the Ralgrenek<ref>In Dwarven, Taklaftil and Zokveregs, respectively (capitalization is optional when speaking of the groups and their members)</ref>, use their unusual skills to create two unique dwarven glasses: ''achvlas'' and ''zokivlas.''

''Achvlas'' <br>
Glassworkers of the Taklaftil use alchemically distilled tinctures of specific gems along with infusions of liquefied moss provided by the Zokveregs while their glass is molten to create a glass known as achvlas. Achvlas is a rare type of glass that holds a scent<ref>See also the section on Ardenai flower glasses for a similar glassworking style</ref>; the scent is dependent upon the gems used, and the specifics are a closely guarded secret.

Achvlas has several uses, including as small metal-framed glass disks placed in trunks or drawers as either a pest-deterrent or a means of enhancing the scent of fabric contained within. The aroma is increased when exposed to gentle heat, so some dwarves will hang a pane of achvlas in front of a fireplace or near a stove. Candles can be placed within achvlas candle vases to activate the glass's scent, though care must be taken if combined with a scented candle, as they can easily clash in unexpected and unwelcome ways.

A small conclave of ale-makers is experimenting with storing beer in specially created achvlas jugs designed to infuse specific scents into the alcohol in unique ways. This practice remains niche, but its practitioners hope it gains popularity over time.

Achvlas takes a dye well, and the Taklaftil are kept busy fulfilling orders and innovating new uses.

''Zokivlas'' <br>
Known in Common as moss-glass, zokivlas is glass that incorporates moss, typically intricately woven into patterns. Done in panes, the threads of moss serve to strengthen the glass a bit and also to reduce glass-related injuries when it does break, as the moss clings to the shards, making them easier to find and softening the sharp edges.

Zokivlas is not limited to panes, however, and moss-glass trinkets are common with the Ralgrenek. The Oltregek gem-eaters provide a tincture that allows zokivlas to have the faint scent of fresh moss growing in a damp cavern, and the Ralgrenek moss-weavers incorporate this in various measures, depending upon either the artist's personal desire or the customer placing the order.

In vases and other trinkets, the moss becomes more artistic and less functional (though it is important to note that even in the panes, the use of moss is aesthetically pleasing), and one will see other cavern flora make their way into the glass -- lichen and tiny mushrooms being most common, all expertly worked together. Special treatments render the glass undyeable, as the clarity of the glass is important in showcasing the art woven within.

'''''On The Gem-Eaters and Moss-Weavers of the Dwarven Clans'''''<br>
'''Gem-Eaters:''' An unusual condition occurs from time to time in the Oltregek clan, wherein a dwarf has a compulsion to eat the very gems the clan is so famous for mining. These dwarves, known as taklaftil, are able to ascertain unique uses for the various gems by tasting them. Eating solid gemstone, however, is hard on the teeth, and over the centuries, the taklaftil have refined their processes in order to meet the needs of their compulsion.

According to them, each gem has a unique use when ingested by a gem-eater, and this use varies somewhat depending on whether the gem is crushed to dust before eating, rendered into a tincture via alchemy for drinking, shattered into smaller pieces for chewing, or if one works on chewing down the entire gem without these methods. For a truly gifted taklaftil, even merely licking or sucking upon a gem can release some of its unique powers, but it is greatly limited.

As an example, a taklaftil who eats a clear citrine experiences improved vision that allows them to see better in the dark, with the range being a small boost to seeing in the pitch black as if it were daylight, and if combined with a green citrine, the gem-eaters claim they can see through rock to find gemstone deposits. Other combinations assist in finding veins of mithril, and so on.

Their study of their compulsion has led them to become some of the pre-eminent alchemists for gemstone-related needs, including possible medicinal uses. The selling and drinking of gem-derived tinctures for a variety of ailments waxes and wanes in usage with non-taklaftils, but currently this folk medicine is seeing a surge in popularity in various Oltregek communities.

'''Moss-Weavers & The Ivelerek:''' Within deep-dwelling Ralgrenek communities, the zokveregs, in addition to being preeminent weavers of moss and the crafters of moss-glass, are highly superstitious and live in small enclaves set apart from their fellow clan members. Many of them believe both they and the taklaftil have been touched by the Ivelerek ('touched by' having various definitions depending on who is defining -- cursed, blessed, controlled, etc.). According to the moss-weavers, the Ivelerek are a lost clan of dwarves that dug too deeply, disturbed something they should not have, and were transformed. They are doomed to stay far below even the deepest of mines and tunnels, and legend has it that the Ivelrek's caverns are magical places filled with glowing mushrooms the size of houses, veins of rare and undiscovered ores thicker than the most rotund dwarf's middle, and varieties of moss the likes of which have never been seen.

The Ivelrek purportedly have clusters of luminescent toadstools growing from their heads, tendrils of moss and fungi naturally entwined within their beards, and patches of lichen scattered across their body. It is said they only rise above their impossibly deep caverns to claim a lost miner and make them one of their own (there are many variations on myths like this amongst the dwarven clans to account for lost miners, but the Ivelrek is strictly a Ralgrenek belief), or to guide a lost dwarf to safety (often in a dream or vision). Colloquially, the Ivelrek are known as the Lost Dwarves or the Moss Brethren.

Some Ralgrenek enclaves celebrate a holiday known as Iveltan, wherein town leaders send a representative as deep as possible to leave food, drink, mining tools, and several pieces of zokivlas as an offering to the Ivelrek. The offering area is chosen carefully for its remoteness and depth, and it is strictly forbidden to be visited except on the offering day.<ref>See also [https://gswiki.play.net/Elanthian_Holidays/Hibernal_Holidays#Iveltan:_Appeasing_the_Moss_Brethern Hibernal Holidays]</ref>

=== Driftglass and Riverglass ===
Amongst the Vanadre Chiras, the [[Driftglass Fayre of Van Anicola| Anicola]] are the preeminent creators of driftglass. Inspired by seaglass (and taking its name from an obsolete term for it), driftglass is created when bits of glass are worn down in river and lake beds. While other cultures may use this methodology occasionally, the best-known source of driftglass comes from the Vanadre Chiras, and more specifically, Van Anicola. Indeed, it is not considered true driftglass unless it comes from the Anicola's special caches on the Isle of Four Winds.

Like its seaglass counterpart, driftglass is not blown. Pre-existing glass items are broken or cut, sometimes into rough figures, and then placed in riverbeds and lakes. These are left for years, if not a decade or more, as patience, time, and perhaps a bit of alchemical assistance are all required for the original glass's transformation into driftglass.

Across the years, the glass is naturally tumbled by the water's movement, wearing itself against water, rock, and shore until it is polished to a high sheen. Driftglass lacks the frosted nature of seaglass, but the Anicola have perfected their driftglass process; the finished product is pulled from the waters bearing a distinctive moire pattern across the surface.

While over the years driftglass has come to be used solely for the river or lake glass crafted by Van Anicola on the Isle of Four Winds, there are non-driftglass alternatives. It is still predominantly the provenance of the Vanadre Chiras, and it is typically called "riverglass" even if its origins are within a lake. Riverglass lacks driftglass's moire pattern, but like both it and seaglass, riverglass has been weathered and tumbled into a recognizably separate entity from regular glass.

''Van Anicola Traditions''<br>
Van Anicola has several traditions and activities around driftglass, only a few of which are well-known. For example, if an artisan dies with existing caches, the van will ensure it is retrieved only when ready, so the artist's last work is complete. Special care is taken with these, and distribution of the driftglass is a decision left to the artist's stated intentions or to their closest friends and family.

When a child displays an interest in driftglass, they are taken to the Isle of Four Winds to place their first cache and brought back a decade later to retrieve it. If a child is unable to return, a family member or designee will do so for them. In those rare cases when a child has died, however, a family member or designee will retrieve it during the next visit, even if it is unready. It is seen as a representation of the unfinished life. It may be worked into remembrance art, but that is dependent upon the family. Some will scatter it along the road as they travel, others will keep it in a small keepsake chest, and so on.

It is believed there are several 'training' areas throughout the jungle, and after their special 'first cache,' children may return and use these areas, as will adults who are experimenting with various techniques. These areas are often considered a free-for-all, with some caches being seeded by the van for children and others to practice. The resulting driftglass is typically a bit rougher and more utilitarian, but it can still be traded and sold.

=== Evashiran Alchemical Glassworking ===
Evashirans' expertise in alchemy and their penchant for experimentation yield numerous unique advancements in several areas, and glassworking is one such area. The Order of Crystalline Song (Lyx'Sianla) holds the secrets to several techniques, including ''stekla'', ''perytla'', and ''evissila''.

More commonly known as 'echo glass,' stekla holds faint sounds, the whispering echoes of the original sound. It is difficult to create, requiring several disciplines of glassworking, magic, and alchemy working together to capture a sound or voice in a particular moment during its crafting (this also means the artisans and everything else must be perfectly silent in the final magical moments). At its simplest, echo glass will 'echo' a single word or noise, but the top artisans have managed short phrases.

A stekla installation often consists of several pieces of stekla holding different phrases to 'release' in a set order, resulting in glass recitations of poetry or song. When combined with perytla or 'chime glass,' art installations become a melodic orchestration of visual and auditory delights.

Perytla uses several scientific techniques along with alchemical expertise to craft glass that will create its own musical chiming sounds when external stimuli, such as wind, water, or touch are applied. This allows for several landscaping experiences, such as placing perytla sculptures in windy areas or in water displays, to create musical interludes while walking through a garden.

While both stekla and perytla are more frequently seen in larger sculptures used for art installations and displays, there are smaller occurrences of these glasses. A loved one, for example, may commission a pendant or trinket of stekla which will, when triggered, echo a whispered endearment. Small perytla statuettes and baubles may be carried for luck or sentiment as well; holding them up to the wind or gently exhaling on them will activate their inherent sounds.

A bit more prosaic, but still beautiful, is evissila. This is also known as iris glass or glow glass because of its use of meviriel (mana irises) and the resultant glow effect. While evissila may be crafted to allow for the turning on or off the glow, in its most famous state, it begins to glow at sunset and stops at sunrise, all on its own. This phenomenon occurs regardless of geographic location or time of year, and being inside (including deep within caves and the like) has no impact on its ability to know when to glow or not.

The most common use for evissila is to light areas that should always be softly lit, such as hallways and the like. It is also an excellent lighting solution for libraries as it holds none of the danger of flame, and the light itself may be colored differently upon creation to match the best sort of light to the circumstances. Traveling Evashiran may carry smaller pieces with them as reminders of home, but these pieces tend to be luminescent without the fine precision of larger, more permanent pieces.

=== The Flower Glasses of Ta'Ardenai ===
Amongst the Ardenai, there exists a glassworking style that is the envy of many an artisan; known as the flower glasses of Ta'Ardenai, these glasses hold floral scents. Similar to the dwarven-made achvlas, these glasses are typically used in containers that store linens and other cloth items as a replacement of, or enhancement to, sachets.

''Aelthiel'' is the primary term for the flower glasses, and there are two sub-categories -- naethiel (or roseglass) and nysthiel (or violetglass). Naethiel is used to describe aelthiel that uses roses. It does not take a dye, and the process of creating it renders the glass a pale pink. It is typically intensely rose-scented, and artisans can imbue it with specific and distinct rose varietals. Nysthiel, always a pale violet hue, describes aelthiel made from violets, and it also can be tailored to the scent of specific sorts of violets, such as wood violets.

Aelthiel that has not been specially crafted into naethiel or nysthiel will take a dye, and all three are incredibly durable. Other common uses of aelthiel are small trinkets and stained glass art, often framed by locally sourced woods, which is hung from windows.

''An Aside: The Unusual Obsession with Vegetable Vases''<br>
When speaking of Ardenai glasswork, one would be remiss if they did not bring up the unusual and quirky fashion that swept across the Elven Nations a few thousand years ago -- celery vases.

It started in Ta'Ardenai, where wealthier Ardenai began displaying stalks of celery in glass vases, often intricately etched or press-patterned, but always crystal clear to showcase the beautiful greens of the celery. It quickly spread, for reasons inexplicable to most modern aesthetics, and soon, artisans were churning out hundreds of celery vases. No noble entry way or dining room was complete without a vase of ornately displayed celery, especially in the winter, when the obtaining of such fresh vegetation would be a more difficult endeavor.

Other elven houses picked up on this fashion statement, and a few tried to make it their own by showcasing other vegetables. Some enterprising artisans tried to create a demand for carrot vases (slightly smaller and meant to display bundles of carrots with leafy green tops spilling over a flared top), while other attempts were made at finding display options for turnips, eggplants, and, oddly enough, the plain potato. Smaller versions of celery vases known as asparagus urns had a mild success, along with the formerly mentioned carrot versions, but beyond that, nothing held the fashion forward crowd's attention like the celery vase. Its popularity waned after several decades, but the artistry of the celery vases produced during that time remain.

=== Fractured Glasses: Coveglass and Briarglass ===
While numerous glassworkers do a style of "fractured" glass, two cultures, Paradis halflings and Seareach humans, have taken the art to new levels. Originally, leaders of Seareach attempted to call this signature glass artistry ''seaglass'', but they were ultimately unsuccessful given the fact the term was already in use and quite popular. Once they realized this was going to be an unsuccessful endeavor, they pivoted to ''coveglass'', as the first artisan to make coveglass successfully hailed from Brisker's Cove.

Interestingly enough, the alternate name of the Paradis version of this glass,''sarvith'', is "briarglass," and it is also named after a famous cove town -- in this case, Briarmoon Cove, where a gathering of halfling artisans created the unique techniques that go into this popular style of fractured glass.

Fractured glass (also known as crackled glass or ice glass) involves taking a hot glass product, plunging it in icy cold water just enough to create thin fractures, then quickly placing it back in the fire while blowing to ensure the cracks remain. The quench-heat-blow cycle can be repeated multiple times, which impacts the crackling effect. The final result produces a patterning akin to that of a crocodile hide.<ref> Attempts to call it crocodile glass were made by a few reptilean enthusiasts, but the name never caught on.</ref>

Sarvith artisans have perfected the technique of controlling the fracture, enabling them to create actual patterns and designs with these minute breaks rather than settling for the standard crocodilian look. The most renowned modern blower of briarglass controls her fracturing so well that she can guide the glass into detailed landscape scenes across her panes and vases.

Similar to sarvith, coveglass hits new heights in the fractured glass category with its durability (one can drop a coveglass vase, and it rarely breaks) and its patterning. Coveglass artists change their quenching technique slightly, and rather than a crocodile skin pattern, the end result can either be a fish scale look or a spiraled "crashing wave" appearance. This oceanic influence has earned it the nickname of "mermaid glass."

'''''On Wendwillows and Coveglass'''''
Wendwillow forest gnomes frequently purchase coveglass, commissioning sturdy glass blades for their story knives (''yaruviq''). These knives are not used for any sort of combat and are strictly ceremonial. Wendwillows have a tradition of telling stories aided by images drawn in riverbanks, snow, or sand. They use the yaruviq to aid in the carving, and when the tale is done, the flat of the blade erases the fleeting artwork.

Traditional yaruviq are crafted from antler, bone, or wood, and they are typically unadorned except for wavy patterns etched into the blade to mimic the sweeping motions used when clearing the story carvings. Changing the wooden blade for a coveglass one is a newer development but one readily accepted by many Wendwillow storytellers. The wave-like pattern on the glass naturally fits with their carving tradition, and its durability allows for years of use if well-cared for.

=== Glasses of the Grot'karesh ===
Being less nomadic than many of their kindred brethren, the Hammer Clan often serves as the initiating impetus for advances in skills such as glassblowing that do not lend themselves well for wandering lifestyles. Working from their fortress city of Kilaniraj on the slopes of Asharikan Mountain, artisans of all types are hard at work innovating as well as keeping old traditions alive and relevant. Giantman may not be as known for glass artistry as they are for their metalworking, especially with zorchar, but there are numerous skilled artisans working magic (sometimes literally) with glass today.

'''Zorsikan and Zarrkat:''' Zorsikan is a Grot'karesh glass specialty that involves the intricate working of molten zorchar into the glass. These threads of zorchar form patterns, symbols, or Saramar runes within the glass, and the final product will sometimes send lightning-like sparks within the glass. These sparks are contained by the glass and pose no danger to those in their vicinity unless the glass has been improperly blown.

Together with magical and alchemy experts, a specialized type of zorsikan is often made as well. Known as zarrkat, the interior threads of zorchar are shaped into Saramar runes governing magical actions, and the final zarrkat product may be used for the purposes the runes indicate. Common uses are for perimeter traps that fire when undead cross an invisible barrier between two like-activated zarrkat totems. However, individual talismans imbued with defensive and offensive magic is also frequently requested.

A zorsikan workshop is a dangerous place, as working zorchar into the glass is a delicate and complex process. Accidents happen frequently, and artisans take numerous precautions. Completed products are set into a protected room and monitored for two weeks. Unstable zorsikan will explode within hours typically, so holding them for several days ensures their safety prior to distribution.

'''Ishkaj:''' Also known as 'seeker glass,' ishkaj is made with ash and sand brought from afar by the Ishan (or Wandering Ones). The artisan etches protective runes into the glass from the interior, so the runes cannot be worn down with handling. This allegedly gives extra protections from undead and demonic forces, but its efficacy is mostly in the belief and comfort it provides. Ishan often wear ishkaj talismans, and they may gift ishkaj trinkets to friends and family to serve as a remembrance of their time together. There is a brisk trade of seeker glass as well, and wandering giantman may bring extra ishkaj jewelry and baubles with them to barter along the way.

=== Zehet'jad: A Dhe'narsi Poison Glass ===
Zehet'jad (literally 'poison glass') refers to a family of glasses worked with additives from nature's most poisonous, venomous, and toxic creatures. The additives range from the painful but non-lethal venom of several snakes and lizards to the quickest killing toxins found in the natural world (such as from certain jellyfish and cone snails) and everything in between.

In the hands of an expert artisan, the poisons added to the glass are rendered inert.

Experts say that the true test of a z'heta's proper craftsmanship is if the owner can wear it against their skin for sixty-six days straight and suffer no adverse effects.

Naturally, the wearing of z'heta is seen by many to be a badge of courage, but for others, it is a testament to folly, partaking of danger when none is necessary. In addition, there are whispers and rumors surrounding z'heta, claiming that the poisons within may be activated by methods known only to the artisan and the recipient, and that it can thus be used as a tool for subtle assassinations long after a piece of the poison glass has been deemed safe. The Dhe'nar remain silent on that hypothesis.

Regardless, properly inert z'heta is a lovely addition to Elanthia's panoply of cultural glassworking.

Elanthian Holidays

2026-03-17T18:05:41Z

GS4-XYNWEN: /* OOC Information/Notes */

{{official-document}}

A gathering of Elanthian holidays.

== Holidays of Elanthia ==
Celebrate. Honor. Remember. Connect.

These are but a handful of the reasons why people gather and how ceremonies, holidays, and celebrations are formed. Throughout Elanthia, there are numerous such gatherings. Traditions are formed around commonalities, and these can be geographically inclined, family-based, or important to those of particular cultures or races. Some even seem to carry across all these lines with at least recognition for a handful of holidays and important dates.

Throughout 5124, seasonal compilations of celebrations and holidays will be released. As with most things, there may be individuals, even large groups of individuals, who do not ascribe to their particular group's preferred celebrations and holidays, and there will always be people who celebrate in their own way and style. These compilations then, serve as a repository of information, but one should not assume an individual would adhere to this practice simply because their town or race does.

=== Holidays by Season ===
* [[Elanthian Holidays/Vernal Holidays| Vernal, or Spring, Holidays]]
* [[Elanthian Holidays/Estival Holidays| Estival, or Summer, Holidays]]

Alter fodder

2026-03-17T18:02:56Z

GS4-XYNWEN: /* Glass */

{{TOCright}}
'''Alter fodder''' is a colloquial term for items of various rare [[materials]] kept by players primarily for use in [[alteration]]s. [[Alter|Alteration guidelines]] 40-45 focus on materials and outline the requirement to provide a merchant with alter fodder when making certain modifications to items.

''Gemstones'' noted as Rarity 7 or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. ''All other materials'' noted as Rarity 8 ("very rare") or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. This information can also be viewed on the [[:Category:Materials#Material Rarity and Use Tables|Material Rarity and Use Tables]]. The quantity of alter fodder needed may depend on the particular item being worked on.

Items made of rare materials may be found in the treasure system or rarely purchased in certain shops and kept or traded between players for use as alter fodder. "Pure" alter fodder items, that have no other use except to be provided for alteration, may be purchased at [[Ebon Gate]], however they have been available as prizes from various games in the past. The Antiquarian found at Ebon Gate in [[EHShop:Antiquarian Manor|Antiquarian Manor]], will allow for the conversion of items into pure alter fodder, while the [[Antiquarian's Apparatus]], found at same can be used to store alter fodder efficiently.

Some materials will always be unsuitable for use in alterations due to their innate properties. For example, Rift gems with special properties are not suitable for alterations (doomstones, Eye-of-Koar emeralds, firemote orbs, oblivion quartz, midnight blue riftstones, shadowglass orbs). Adamantine, coraesine, kroderine, urnon, and zelnorn cannot be added as adornments due to their unique and innate qualities, with the exception of being used as an accent for combat items that share the material's innate qualities. Using {{boldmono|INSPECT}} on an item made of a given material will include an additional line if that material needs to be provided as alteration fodder, if it cannot be used as fodder, and if it cannot be dyed. See the [[#Restricted Materials|Restricted Materials]] section for more information.

[[Sadie]] is capable of accepting alter fodder via the [[mail system]].

===Fabrics, Leathers & Pelts===
Fabric, leather, and pelts noted as Rarity 8 ("very rare") or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. Some materials of this type might not have a rarity number designation but are considered very rare due to their lore.

===Metals===
Metals noted as Rarity 8 ("very rare") or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. Some materials of this type might not have a rarity number designation but are considered very rare due to their lore.

Some metals have restrictions on use due to their unique and innate qualities. See also [[Alter#ALTER 41: Materials - Rarity|{{boldmono|ALTER}} 41: Materials - Rarity]] and [[Alter#ALTER 44: Materials - Metals|{{boldmono|ALTER}} 44: Materials - Metals]].

==Material Rarity==
{{Main|Alter#ALTER 41: Materials - Rarity}}
{{#section:Alter|rarity}}

==Restricted Materials==
As detailed in [[Alter#ALTER 44: Materials - Metals|{{boldmono|ALTER 44}}]], some materials are restricted use. To use these restricted materials as accents for item alterations specifically requires alter fodder that {{boldmono|INSPECTs}} as being mainly crafted out of the source material. Various additional limitations and restrictions for use may apply depending on the material. Known examples of restricted materials include: krodera, black ora, white ora, black alloy, white alloy, urglaes, and coraesine.

Material is free to be used in alterations without needing fodder. Metal Rarity 07:
<pre{{log2}}>You carefully inspect your vaalin lockpick.

You determine that you could not wear the lockpick.

It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of vaalin, a rare metal.</pre>

Material requires fodder to be used in alterations and may only be used as an accent. Wood Rarity 08:
<pre{{log2}}>You carefully inspect your fireleaf runestaff.

After a careful inspection you determine that a fireleaf runestaff is a rune staff and requires skill in twohanded weapons to use effectively.

It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of fireleaf, a very rare wood. It would need to be supplied to be used in an alteration and may only be used as an accent.</pre>

Material may not be used in alterations as fodder. Additionally, material cannot be dyed due to its properties. Metal Rarity 10:
<pre{{log2}}>You carefully inspect your low steel falcata.

After a careful inspection you determine that a low steel falcata is a falchion and requires skill in edged weapons to use effectively.

It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of low steel, an extremely rare metal. It cannot be used in alterations. This material cannot be dyed.</pre>

==Disallowed Materials==
Some materials are disallowed because they reference real world locations historical figures. This includes but is not limited to:
* Cashmere

Alter fodder

2026-03-17T17:59:49Z

GS4-XYNWEN: /* Glass */

{{TOCright}}
'''Alter fodder''' is a colloquial term for items of various rare [[materials]] kept by players primarily for use in [[alteration]]s. [[Alter|Alteration guidelines]] 40-45 focus on materials and outline the requirement to provide a merchant with alter fodder when making certain modifications to items.

''Gemstones'' noted as Rarity 7 or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. ''All other materials'' noted as Rarity 8 ("very rare") or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. This information can also be viewed on the [[:Category:Materials#Material Rarity and Use Tables|Material Rarity and Use Tables]]. The quantity of alter fodder needed may depend on the particular item being worked on.

Items made of rare materials may be found in the treasure system or rarely purchased in certain shops and kept or traded between players for use as alter fodder. "Pure" alter fodder items, that have no other use except to be provided for alteration, may be purchased at [[Ebon Gate]], however they have been available as prizes from various games in the past. The Antiquarian found at Ebon Gate in [[EHShop:Antiquarian Manor|Antiquarian Manor]], will allow for the conversion of items into pure alter fodder, while the [[Antiquarian's Apparatus]], found at same can be used to store alter fodder efficiently.

Some materials will always be unsuitable for use in alterations due to their innate properties. For example, Rift gems with special properties are not suitable for alterations (doomstones, Eye-of-Koar emeralds, firemote orbs, oblivion quartz, midnight blue riftstones, shadowglass orbs). Adamantine, coraesine, kroderine, urnon, and zelnorn cannot be added as adornments due to their unique and innate qualities, with the exception of being used as an accent for combat items that share the material's innate qualities. Using {{boldmono|INSPECT}} on an item made of a given material will include an additional line if that material needs to be provided as alteration fodder, if it cannot be used as fodder, and if it cannot be dyed. See the [[#Restricted Materials|Restricted Materials]] section for more information.

[[Sadie]] is capable of accepting alter fodder via the [[mail system]].

== Material List ==
'''Disclaimer''': The below lists are incomplete.

===Fabrics, Leathers & Pelts===
Fabric, leather, and pelts noted as Rarity 8 ("very rare") or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. Some materials of this type might not have a rarity number designation but are considered very rare due to their lore.

===Metals===
Metals noted as Rarity 8 ("very rare") or higher always require alter fodder to be provided. Some materials of this type might not have a rarity number designation but are considered very rare due to their lore.

Some metals have restrictions on use due to their unique and innate qualities. See also [[Alter#ALTER 41: Materials - Rarity|{{boldmono|ALTER}} 41: Materials - Rarity]] and [[Alter#ALTER 44: Materials - Metals|{{boldmono|ALTER}} 44: Materials - Metals]].

=== Achvlas and Zokivlas ===
While dwarves are more well-known for mining and artisanal expertise around metals and glaes, there are always those whose craftsmanship extends to other areas. Deep within the mountains, the Gem-Eaters of the Oltregek, in cooperation with the Moss-Weavers of the Ralgrenek<ref>In Dwarven, Taklaftil and Zokveregs, respectively (capitalization is optional when speaking of the groups and their members)</ref>, use their unusual skills to create two unique dwarven glasses: ''achvlas'' and ''zokivlas.''

''Achvlas'' <br>
Glassworkers of the Taklaftil use alchemically distilled tinctures of specific gems along with infusions of liquefied moss provided by the Zokveregs while their glass is molten to create a glass known as achvlas. Achvlas is a rare type of glass that holds a scent<ref>See also the section on Ardenai flower glasses for a similar glassworking style</ref>; the scent is dependent upon the gems used, and the specifics are a closely guarded secret.

Achvlas has several uses, including as small metal-framed glass disks placed in trunks or drawers as either a pest-deterrent or a means of enhancing the scent of fabric contained within. The aroma is increased when exposed to gentle heat, so some dwarves will hang a pane of achvlas in front of a fireplace or near a stove. Candles can be placed within achvlas candle vases to activate the glass's scent, though care must be taken if combined with a scented candle, as they can easily clash in unexpected and unwelcome ways.

A small conclave of ale-makers is experimenting with storing beer in specially created achvlas jugs designed to infuse specific scents into the alcohol in unique ways. This practice remains niche, but its practitioners hope it gains popularity over time.

Achvlas takes a dye well, and the Taklaftil are kept busy fulfilling orders and innovating new uses.

''Zokivlas'' <br>
Known in Common as moss-glass, zokivlas is glass that incorporates moss, typically intricately woven into patterns. Done in panes, the threads of moss serve to strengthen the glass a bit and also to reduce glass-related injuries when it does break, as the moss clings to the shards, making them easier to find and softening the sharp edges.

Zokivlas is not limited to panes, however, and moss-glass trinkets are common with the Ralgrenek. The Oltregek gem-eaters provide a tincture that allows zokivlas to have the faint scent of fresh moss growing in a damp cavern, and the Ralgrenek moss-weavers incorporate this in various measures, depending upon either the artist's personal desire or the customer placing the order.

In vases and other trinkets, the moss becomes more artistic and less functional (though it is important to note that even in the panes, the use of moss is aesthetically pleasing), and one will see other cavern flora make their way into the glass -- lichen and tiny mushrooms being most common, all expertly worked together. Special treatments render the glass undyeable, as the clarity of the glass is important in showcasing the art woven within.

'''''On The Gem-Eaters and Moss-Weavers of the Dwarven Clans'''''<br>
'''Gem-Eaters:''' An unusual condition occurs from time to time in the Oltregek clan, wherein a dwarf has a compulsion to eat the very gems the clan is so famous for mining. These dwarves, known as taklaftil, are able to ascertain unique uses for the various gems by tasting them. Eating solid gemstone, however, is hard on the teeth, and over the centuries, the taklaftil have refined their processes in order to meet the needs of their compulsion.

According to them, each gem has a unique use when ingested by a gem-eater, and this use varies somewhat depending on whether the gem is crushed to dust before eating, rendered into a tincture via alchemy for drinking, shattered into smaller pieces for chewing, or if one works on chewing down the entire gem without these methods. For a truly gifted taklaftil, even merely licking or sucking upon a gem can release some of its unique powers, but it is greatly limited.

As an example, a taklaftil who eats a clear citrine experiences improved vision that allows them to see better in the dark, with the range being a small boost to seeing in the pitch black as if it were daylight, and if combined with a green citrine, the gem-eaters claim they can see through rock to find gemstone deposits. Other combinations assist in finding veins of mithril, and so on.

Their study of their compulsion has led them to become some of the pre-eminent alchemists for gemstone-related needs, including possible medicinal uses. The selling and drinking of gem-derived tinctures for a variety of ailments waxes and wanes in usage with non-taklaftils, but currently this folk medicine is seeing a surge in popularity in various Oltregek communities.

'''Moss-Weavers & The Ivelerek:''' Within deep-dwelling Ralgrenek communities, the zokveregs, in addition to being preeminent weavers of moss and the crafters of moss-glass, are highly superstitious and live in small enclaves set apart from their fellow clan members. Many of them believe both they and the taklaftil have been touched by the Ivelerek ('touched by' having various definitions depending on who is defining -- cursed, blessed, controlled, etc.). According to the moss-weavers, the Ivelerek are a lost clan of dwarves that dug too deeply, disturbed something they should not have, and were transformed. They are doomed to stay far below even the deepest of mines and tunnels, and legend has it that the Ivelrek's caverns are magical places filled with glowing mushrooms the size of houses, veins of rare and undiscovered ores thicker than the most rotund dwarf's middle, and varieties of moss the likes of which have never been seen.

The Ivelrek purportedly have clusters of luminescent toadstools growing from their heads, tendrils of moss and fungi naturally entwined within their beards, and patches of lichen scattered across their body. It is said they only rise above their impossibly deep caverns to claim a lost miner and make them one of their own (there are many variations on myths like this amongst the dwarven clans to account for lost miners, but the Ivelrek is strictly a Ralgrenek belief), or to guide a lost dwarf to safety (often in a dream or vision). Colloquially, the Ivelrek are known as the Lost Dwarves or the Moss Brethren.

Some Ralgrenek enclaves celebrate a holiday known as Iveltan, wherein town leaders send a representative as deep as possible to leave food, drink, mining tools, and several pieces of zokivlas as an offering to the Ivelrek. The offering area is chosen carefully for its remoteness and depth, and it is strictly forbidden to be visited except on the offering day.<ref>See also [https://gswiki.play.net/Elanthian_Holidays/Hibernal_Holidays#Iveltan:_Appeasing_the_Moss_Brethern Hibernal Holidays]</ref>

=== Driftglass and Riverglass ===
Amongst the Vanadre Chiras, the [[Driftglass Fayre of Van Anicola| Anicola]] are the preeminent creators of driftglass. Inspired by seaglass (and taking its name from an obsolete term for it), driftglass is created when bits of glass are worn down in river and lake beds. While other cultures may use this methodology occasionally, the best-known source of driftglass comes from the Vanadre Chiras, and more specifically, Van Anicola. Indeed, it is not considered true driftglass unless it comes from the Anicola's special caches on the Isle of Four Winds.

Like its seaglass counterpart, driftglass is not blown. Pre-existing glass items are broken or cut, sometimes into rough figures, and then placed in riverbeds and lakes. These are left for years, if not a decade or more, as patience, time, and perhaps a bit of alchemical assistance are all required for the original glass's transformation into driftglass.

Across the years, the glass is naturally tumbled by the water's movement, wearing itself against water, rock, and shore until it is polished to a high sheen. Driftglass lacks the frosted nature of seaglass, but the Anicola have perfected their driftglass process; the finished product is pulled from the waters bearing a distinctive moire pattern across the surface.

While over the years driftglass has come to be used solely for the river or lake glass crafted by Van Anicola on the Isle of Four Winds, there are non-driftglass alternatives. It is still predominantly the provenance of the Vanadre Chiras, and it is typically called "riverglass" even if its origins are within a lake. Riverglass lacks driftglass's moire pattern, but like both it and seaglass, riverglass has been weathered and tumbled into a recognizably separate entity from regular glass.

''Van Anicola Traditions''<br>
Van Anicola has several traditions and activities around driftglass, only a few of which are well-known. For example, if an artisan dies with existing caches, the van will ensure it is retrieved only when ready, so the artist's last work is complete. Special care is taken with these, and distribution of the driftglass is a decision left to the artist's stated intentions or to their closest friends and family.

When a child displays an interest in driftglass, they are taken to the Isle of Four Winds to place their first cache and brought back a decade later to retrieve it. If a child is unable to return, a family member or designee will do so for them. In those rare cases when a child has died, however, a family member or designee will retrieve it during the next visit, even if it is unready. It is seen as a representation of the unfinished life. It may be worked into remembrance art, but that is dependent upon the family. Some will scatter it along the road as they travel, others will keep it in a small keepsake chest, and so on.

It is believed there are several 'training' areas throughout the jungle, and after their special 'first cache,' children may return and use these areas, as will adults who are experimenting with various techniques. These areas are often considered a free-for-all, with some caches being seeded by the van for children and others to practice. The resulting driftglass is typically a bit rougher and more utilitarian, but it can still be traded and sold.

=== Evashiran Alchemical Glassworking ===
Evashirans' expertise in alchemy and their penchant for experimentation yield numerous unique advancements in several areas, and glassworking is one such area. The Order of Crystalline Song (Lyx'Sianla) holds the secrets to several techniques, including ''stekla'', ''perytla'', and ''evissila''.

More commonly known as 'echo glass,' stekla holds faint sounds, the whispering echoes of the original sound. It is difficult to create, requiring several disciplines of glassworking, magic, and alchemy working together to capture a sound or voice in a particular moment during its crafting (this also means the artisans and everything else must be perfectly silent in the final magical moments). At its simplest, echo glass will 'echo' a single word or noise, but the top artisans have managed short phrases.

A stekla installation often consists of several pieces of stekla holding different phrases to 'released' in a set order, resulting in glass recitations of poetry or song. When combined with perytla or 'chime glass,' art installations become a melodic orchestration of visual and auditory delights.

Perytla uses several scientific techniques along with alchemical expertise to craft glass that will create its own musical chiming sounds when external stimuli, such as wind, water, or touch are applied. This allows for several landscaping experiences, such as placing perytla sculptures in windy areas or in water displays, to create musical interludes while walking through a garden.

While both stekla and perytla are more frequently seen in larger sculptures used for art installations and displays, there are smaller occurrences of these glasses. A loved one, for example, may commission a pendant or trinket of stekla which will, when triggered, echo a whispered endearment. Small perytla statuettes and baubles may be carried for luck or sentiment as well; holding them up to the wind or gently exhaling on them will activate their inherent sounds.

A bit more prosaic, but still beautiful, is evissila. This is also known as iris glass or glow glass because of its use of meviriel (mana irises) and the resultant glow effect. While evissila may be crafted to allow for the turning on or off the glow, in its most famous state, it begins to glow at sunset and stops at sunrise, all on its own. This phenomenon occurs regardless of geographic location or time of year, and being inside (including deep within caves and the like) has no impact on its ability to know when to glow or not.

The most common use for evissila is to light areas that should always be softly lit, such as hallways and the like. It is also an excellent lighting solution for libraries as it holds none of the danger of flame, and the light itself may be colored differently upon creation to match the best sort of light to the circumstances. Traveling Evashiran may carry smaller pieces with them as reminders of home, but these pieces tend to be luminescent without the fine precision of larger, more permanent pieces.

=== The Flower Glasses of Ta'Ardenai ===
Amongst the Ardenai, there exists a glassworking style that is the envy of many an artisan; known as the flower glasses of Ta'Ardenai, these glasses hold floral scents. Similar to the dwarven-made achvlas, these glasses are typically used in containers that store linens and other cloth items as a replacement of, or enhancement to, sachets.

''Aelthiel'' is the primary term for the flower glasses, and there are two sub-categories -- naethiel (or roseglass) and nysthiel (or violetglass). Naethiel is used to describe aelthiel that uses roses. It does not take a dye, and the process of creating it renders the glass a pale pink. It is typically intensely rose-scented, and artisans can imbue it with specific and distinct rose varietals. Nysthiel, always a pale violet hue, describes aelthiel made from violets, and it also can be tailored to the scent of specific sorts of violets, such as wood violets.

Aelthiel that has not been specially crafted into naethiel or nysthiel will take a dye, and all three are incredibly durable. Other common uses of aelthiel are small trinkets and stained glass art, often framed by locally sourced woods, which is hung from windows.

''An Aside: The Unusual Obsession with Vegetable Vases''<br>
When speaking of Ardenai glasswork, one would be remiss if they did not bring up the unusual and quirky fashion that swept across the Elven Nations a few thousand years ago -- celery vases.

It started in Ta'Ardenai, where wealthier Ardenai began displaying stalks of celery in glass vases, often intricately etched or press-patterned, but always crystal clear to showcase the beautiful greens of the celery. It quickly spread, for reasons inexplicable to most modern aesthetics, and soon, artisans were churning out hundreds of celery vases. No noble entry way or dining room was complete without a vase of ornately displayed celery, especially in the winter, when the obtaining of such fresh vegetation would be a more difficult endeavor.

Other elven houses picked up on this fashion statement, and a few tried to make it their own by showcasing other vegetables. Some enterprising artisans tried to create a demand for carrot vases (slightly smaller and meant to display bundles of carrots with leafy green tops spilling over a flared top), while other attempts were made at finding display options for turnips, eggplants, and, oddly enough, the plain potato. Smaller versions of celery vases known as asparagus urns had a mild success, along with the formerly mentioned carrot versions, but beyond that, nothing held the fashion forward crowd's attention like the celery vase. Its popularity waned after several decades, but the artistry of the celery vases produced during that time remain.

=== Fractured Glasses: Coveglass and Briarglass ===
While numerous glassworkers do a style of "fractured" glass, two cultures, Paradis halflings and Seareach humans, have taken the art to new levels. Originally, leaders of Seareach attempted to call this signature glass artistry ''seaglass'', but they were ultimately unsuccessful given the fact the term was already in use and quite popular. Once they realized this was going to be an unsuccessful endeavor, they pivoted to ''coveglass'', as the first artisan to make coveglass successfully hailed from Brisker's Cove.

Interestingly enough, the alternate name of the Paradis version of this glass,''sarvith'', is "briarglass," and it is also named after a famous cove town -- in this case, Briarmoon Cove, where a gathering of halfling artisans created the unique techniques that go into this popular style of fractured glass.

Fractured glass (also known as crackled glass or ice glass) involves taking a hot glass product, plunging it in icy cold water just enough to create thin fractures, then quickly placing it back in the fire while blowing to ensure the cracks remain. The quench-heat-blow cycle can be repeated multiple times, which impacts the crackling effect. The final result produces a patterning akin to that of a crocodile hide.<ref> Attempts to call it crocodile glass were made by a few reptilean enthusiasts, but the name never caught on.</ref>

Sarvith artisans have perfected the technique of controlling the fracture, enabling them to create actual patterns and designs with these minute breaks rather than settling for the standard crocodilian look. The most renowned modern blower of briarglass controls her fracturing so well that she can guide the glass into detailed landscape scenes across her panes and vases.

Similar to sarvith, coveglass hits new heights in the fractured glass category with its durability (one can drop a coveglass vase, and it rarely breaks) and its patterning. Coveglass artists change their quenching technique slightly, and rather than a crocodile skin pattern, the end result can either be a fish scale look or a spiraled "crashing wave" appearance. This oceanic influence has earned it the nickname of "mermaid glass."

'''''On Wendwillows and Coveglass'''''
Wendwillow forest gnomes frequently purchase coveglass, commissioning sturdy glass blades for their story knives (''yaruviq''). These knives are not used for any sort of combat and are strictly ceremonial. Wendwillows have a tradition of telling stories aided by images drawn in riverbanks, snow, or sand. They use the yaruviq to aid in the carving, and when the tale is done, the flat of the blade erases the fleeting artwork.

Traditional yaruviq are crafted from antler, bone, or wood, and they are typically unadorned except for wavy patterns etched into the blade to mimic the sweeping motions used when clearing the story carvings. Changing the wooden blade for a coveglass one is a newer development but one readily accepted by many Wendwillow storytellers. The wave-like pattern on the glass naturally fits with their carving tradition, and its durability allows for years of use if well-cared for.

=== Glasses of the Grot'karesh ===
Being less nomadic than many of their kindred brethren, the Hammer Clan often serves as the initiating impetus for advances in skills such as glassblowing that do not lend themselves well for wandering lifestyles. Working from their fortress city of Kilaniraj on the slopes of Asharikan Mountain, artisans of all types are hard at work innovating as well as keeping old traditions alive and relevant. Giantman may not be as known for glass artistry as they are for their metalworking, especially with zorchar, but there are numerous skilled artisans working magic (sometimes literally) with glass today.

'''Zorsikan and Zarrkat:''' Zorsikan is a Grot'karesh glass specialty that involves the intricate working of molten zorchar into the glass. These threads of zorchar form patterns, symbols, or Saramar runes within the glass, and the final product will sometimes send lightning-like sparks within the glass. These sparks are contained by the glass and pose no danger to those in their vicinity unless the glass has been improperly blown.

Together with magical and alchemy experts, a specialized type of zorsikan is often made as well. Known as zarrkat, the interior threads of zorchar are shaped into Saramar runes governing magical actions, and the final zarrkat product may be used for the purposes the runes indicate. Common uses are for perimeter traps that fire when undead cross an invisible barrier between two like-activated zarrkat totems. However, individual talismans imbued with defensive and offensive magic is also frequently requested.

A zorsikan workshop is a dangerous place, as working zorchar into the glass is a delicate and complex process. Accidents happen frequently, and artisans take numerous precautions. Completed products are set into a protected room and monitored for two weeks. Unstable zorsikan will explode within hours typically, so holding them for several days ensures their safety prior to distribution.

'''Ishkaj:''' Also known as 'seeker glass,' ishkaj is made with ash and sand brought from afar by the Ishan (or Wandering Ones). The artisan etches protective runes into the glass from the interior, so the runes cannot be worn down with handling. This allegedly gives extra protections from undead and demonic forces, but its efficacy is mostly in the belief and comfort it provides. Ishan often wear ishkaj talismans, and they may gift ishkaj trinkets to friends and family to serve as a remembrance of their time together. There is a brisk trade of seeker glass as well, and wandering giantman may bring extra ishkaj jewelry and baubles with them to barter along the way.

=== Zehet'jad: A Dhe'narsi Poison Glass ===
Zehet'jad (literally 'poison glass') refers to a family of glasses worked with additives from nature's most poisonous, venomous, and toxic creatures. The additives range from the painful but non-lethal venom of several snakes and lizards to the quickest killing toxins found in the natural world (such as from certain jellyfish and cone snails) and everything in between. The most used version comes from the poison dart frogs found in the nearby jungles.

The glass itself is always tinged a vivid green hue, but other colors may be worked in as accents. It lends itself best to small items and trinkets (jewelry and the like, nothing too large). In the hands of an expert artisan, the poisons added to the glass are rendered inert. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if the z'heta (as it is colloquially known) has been crafted appropriately other than by touching it.

The glassmakers themselves do not touch their z'heta with bare hands; indeed, it is a tradition strictly adhered to that no one but the intended owner of the art object do so. It then becomes a matter of both trust and bravery. Typically, miscrafted z'heta will show its errors within minutes of first touch, but it can take up to several days if the mistakes were slight, and the poison diluted. Experts say that the true test of a z'heta's proper craftsmanship is if the owner can wear it against their skin for sixty-six days straight and suffer no adverse effects.

Naturally, the wearing of z'heta is seen by many to be a badge of courage, but for others, it is a testament to folly, partaking of danger when none is necessary. In addition, there are whispers and rumors surrounding z'heta, claiming that the poisons within may be activated by methods known only to the artisan and the recipient, and that it can thus be used as a tool for subtle assassinations long after a piece of the poison glass has been deemed safe. The Dhe'nar remain silent on that hypothesis.

Regardless, properly inert z'heta is a lovely addition to Elanthia's panoply of cultural glassworking.

=== Achvlas and Zokivlas ===
While dwarves are more well-known for mining and artisanal expertise around metals and glaes, there are always those whose craftsmanship extends to other areas. Deep within the mountains, the Gem-Eaters of the Oltregek, in cooperation with the Moss-Weavers of the Ralgrenek<ref>In Dwarven, Taklaftil and Zokveregs, respectively (capitalization is optional when speaking of the groups and their members)</ref>, use their unusual skills to create two unique dwarven glasses: ''achvlas'' and ''zokivlas.''

''Achvlas'' <br>
Glassworkers of the Taklaftil use alchemically distilled tinctures of specific gems along with infusions of liquefied moss provided by the Zokveregs while their glass is molten to create a glass known as achvlas. Achvlas is a rare type of glass that holds a scent<ref>See also the section on Ardenai flower glasses for a similar glassworking style</ref>; the scent is dependent upon the gems used, and the specifics are a closely guarded secret.

Achvlas has several uses, including as small metal-framed glass disks placed in trunks or drawers as either a pest-deterrent or a means of enhancing the scent of fabric contained within. The aroma is increased when exposed to gentle heat, so some dwarves will hang a pane of achvlas in front of a fireplace or near a stove. Candles can be placed within achvlas candle vases to activate the glass's scent, though care must be taken if combined with a scented candle, as they can easily clash in unexpected and unwelcome ways.

A small conclave of ale-makers is experimenting with storing beer in specially created achvlas jugs designed to infuse specific scents into the alcohol in unique ways. This practice remains niche, but its practitioners hope it gains popularity over time.

Achvlas takes a dye well, and the Taklaftil are kept busy fulfilling orders and innovating new uses.

''Zokivlas'' <br>
Known in Common as moss-glass, zokivlas is glass that incorporates moss, typically intricately woven into patterns. Done in panes, the threads of moss serve to strengthen the glass a bit and also to reduce glass-related injuries when it does break, as the moss clings to the shards, making them easier to find and softening the sharp edges.

Zokivlas is not limited to panes, however, and moss-glass trinkets are common with the Ralgrenek. The Oltregek gem-eaters provide a tincture that allows zokivlas to have the faint scent of fresh moss growing in a damp cavern, and the Ralgrenek moss-weavers incorporate this in various measures, depending upon either the artist's personal desire or the customer placing the order.

In vases and other trinkets, the moss becomes more artistic and less functional (though it is important to note that even in the panes, the use of moss is aesthetically pleasing), and one will see other cavern flora make their way into the glass -- lichen and tiny mushrooms being most common, all expertly worked together. Special treatments render the glass undyeable, as the clarity of the glass is important in showcasing the art woven within.

'''''On The Gem-Eaters and Moss-Weavers of the Dwarven Clans'''''<br>
'''Gem-Eaters:''' An unusual condition occurs from time to time in the Oltregek clan, wherein a dwarf has a compulsion to eat the very gems the clan is so famous for mining. These dwarves, known as taklaftil, are able to ascertain unique uses for the various gems by tasting them. Eating solid gemstone, however, is hard on the teeth, and over the centuries, the taklaftil have refined their processes in order to meet the needs of their compulsion.

According to them, each gem has a unique use when ingested by a gem-eater, and this use varies somewhat depending on whether the gem is crushed to dust before eating, rendered into a tincture via alchemy for drinking, shattered into smaller pieces for chewing, or if one works on chewing down the entire gem without these methods. For a truly gifted taklaftil, even merely licking or sucking upon a gem can release some of its unique powers, but it is greatly limited.

As an example, a taklaftil who eats a clear citrine experiences improved vision that allows them to see better in the dark, with the range being a small boost to seeing in the pitch black as if it were daylight, and if combined with a green citrine, the gem-eaters claim they can see through rock to find gemstone deposits. Other combinations assist in finding veins of mithril, and so on.

Their study of their compulsion has led them to become some of the pre-eminent alchemists for gemstone-related needs, including possible medicinal uses. The selling and drinking of gem-derived tinctures for a variety of ailments waxes and wanes in usage with non-taklaftils, but currently this folk medicine is seeing a surge in popularity in various Oltregek communities.

'''Moss-Weavers & The Ivelerek:''' Within deep-dwelling Ralgrenek communities, the zokveregs, in addition to being preeminent weavers of moss and the crafters of moss-glass, are highly superstitious and live in small enclaves set apart from their fellow clan members. Many of them believe both they and the taklaftil have been touched by the Ivelerek ('touched by' having various definitions depending on who is defining -- cursed, blessed, controlled, etc.). According to the moss-weavers, the Ivelerek are a lost clan of dwarves that dug too deeply, disturbed something they should not have, and were transformed. They are doomed to stay far below even the deepest of mines and tunnels, and legend has it that the Ivelrek's caverns are magical places filled with glowing mushrooms the size of houses, veins of rare and undiscovered ores thicker than the most rotund dwarf's middle, and varieties of moss the likes of which have never been seen.

The Ivelrek purportedly have clusters of luminescent toadstools growing from their heads, tendrils of moss and fungi naturally entwined within their beards, and patches of lichen scattered across their body. It is said they only rise above their impossibly deep caverns to claim a lost miner and make them one of their own (there are many variations on myths like this amongst the dwarven clans to account for lost miners, but the Ivelrek is strictly a Ralgrenek belief), or to guide a lost dwarf to safety (often in a dream or vision). Colloquially, the Ivelrek are known as the Lost Dwarves or the Moss Brethren.

Some Ralgrenek enclaves celebrate a holiday known as Iveltan, wherein town leaders send a representative as deep as possible to leave food, drink, mining tools, and several pieces of zokivlas as an offering to the Ivelrek. The offering area is chosen carefully for its remoteness and depth, and it is strictly forbidden to be visited except on the offering day.<ref>See also [https://gswiki.play.net/Elanthian_Holidays/Hibernal_Holidays#Iveltan:_Appeasing_the_Moss_Brethern Hibernal Holidays]</ref>

=== Driftglass and Riverglass ===
Amongst the Vanadre Chiras, the [[Driftglass Fayre of Van Anicola| Anicola]] are the preeminent creators of driftglass. Inspired by seaglass (and taking its name from an obsolete term for it), driftglass is created when bits of glass are worn down in river and lake beds. While other cultures may use this methodology occasionally, the best-known source of driftglass comes from the Vanadre Chiras, and more specifically, Van Anicola. Indeed, it is not considered true driftglass unless it comes from the Anicola's special caches on the Isle of Four Winds.

Like its seaglass counterpart, driftglass is not blown. Pre-existing glass items are broken or cut, sometimes into rough figures, and then placed in riverbeds and lakes. These are left for years, if not a decade or more, as patience, time, and perhaps a bit of alchemical assistance are all required for the original glass's transformation into driftglass.

Across the years, the glass is naturally tumbled by the water's movement, wearing itself against water, rock, and shore until it is polished to a high sheen. Driftglass lacks the frosted nature of seaglass, but the Anicola have perfected their driftglass process; the finished product is pulled from the waters bearing a distinctive moire pattern across the surface.

While over the years driftglass has come to be used solely for the river or lake glass crafted by Van Anicola on the Isle of Four Winds, there are non-driftglass alternatives. It is still predominantly the provenance of the Vanadre Chiras, and it is typically called "riverglass" even if its origins are within a lake. Riverglass lacks driftglass's moire pattern, but like both it and seaglass, riverglass has been weathered and tumbled into a recognizably separate entity from regular glass.

''Van Anicola Traditions''<br>
Van Anicola has several traditions and activities around driftglass, only a few of which are well-known. For example, if an artisan dies with existing caches, the van will ensure it is retrieved only when ready, so the artist's last work is complete. Special care is taken with these, and distribution of the driftglass is a decision left to the artist's stated intentions or to their closest friends and family.

When a child displays an interest in driftglass, they are taken to the Isle of Four Winds to place their first cache and brought back a decade later to retrieve it. If a child is unable to return, a family member or designee will do so for them. In those rare cases when a child has died, however, a family member or designee will retrieve it during the next visit, even if it is unready. It is seen as a representation of the unfinished life. It may be worked into remembrance art, but that is dependent upon the family. Some will scatter it along the road as they travel, others will keep it in a small keepsake chest, and so on.

It is believed there are several 'training' areas throughout the jungle, and after their special 'first cache,' children may return and use these areas, as will adults who are experimenting with various techniques. These areas are often considered a free-for-all, with some caches being seeded by the van for children and others to practice. The resulting driftglass is typically a bit rougher and more utilitarian, but it can still be traded and sold.

=== Evashiran Alchemical Glassworking ===
Evashirans' expertise in alchemy and their penchant for experimentation yield numerous unique advancements in several areas, and glassworking is one such area. The Order of Crystalline Song (Lyx'Sianla) holds the secrets to several techniques, including ''stekla'', ''perytla'', and ''evissila''.

More commonly known as 'echo glass,' stekla holds faint sounds, the whispering echoes of the original sound. It is difficult to create, requiring several disciplines of glassworking, magic, and alchemy working together to capture a sound or voice in a particular moment during its crafting (this also means the artisans and everything else must be perfectly silent in the final magical moments). At its simplest, echo glass will 'echo' a single word or noise, but the top artisans have managed short phrases.

A stekla installation often consists of several pieces of stekla holding different phrases to 'released' in a set order, resulting in glass recitations of poetry or song. When combined with perytla or 'chime glass,' art installations become a melodic orchestration of visual and auditory delights.

Perytla uses several scientific techniques along with alchemical expertise to craft glass that will create its own musical chiming sounds when external stimuli, such as wind, water, or touch are applied. This allows for several landscaping experiences, such as placing perytla sculptures in windy areas or in water displays, to create musical interludes while walking through a garden.

While both stekla and perytla are more frequently seen in larger sculptures used for art installations and displays, there are smaller occurrences of these glasses. A loved one, for example, may commission a pendant or trinket of stekla which will, when triggered, echo a whispered endearment. Small perytla statuettes and baubles may be carried for luck or sentiment as well; holding them up to the wind or gently exhaling on them will activate their inherent sounds.

A bit more prosaic, but still beautiful, is evissila. This is also known as iris glass or glow glass because of its use of meviriel (mana irises) and the resultant glow effect. While evissila may be crafted to allow for the turning on or off the glow, in its most famous state, it begins to glow at sunset and stops at sunrise, all on its own. This phenomenon occurs regardless of geographic location or time of year, and being inside (including deep within caves and the like) has no impact on its ability to know when to glow or not.

The most common use for evissila is to light areas that should always be softly lit, such as hallways and the like. It is also an excellent lighting solution for libraries as it holds none of the danger of flame, and the light itself may be colored differently upon creation to match the best sort of light to the circumstances. Traveling Evashiran may carry smaller pieces with them as reminders of home, but these pieces tend to be luminescent without the fine precision of larger, more permanent pieces.

=== The Flower Glasses of Ta'Ardenai ===
Amongst the Ardenai, there exists a glassworking style that is the envy of many an artisan; known as the flower glasses of Ta'Ardenai, these glasses hold floral scents. Similar to the dwarven-made achvlas, these glasses are typically used in containers that store linens and other cloth items as a replacement of, or enhancement to, sachets.

''Aelthiel'' is the primary term for the flower glasses, and there are two sub-categories -- naethiel (or roseglass) and nysthiel (or violetglass). Naethiel is used to describe aelthiel that uses roses. It does not take a dye, and the process of creating it renders the glass a pale pink. It is typically intensely rose-scented, and artisans can imbue it with specific and distinct rose varietals. Nysthiel, always a pale violet hue, describes aelthiel made from violets, and it also can be tailored to the scent of specific sorts of violets, such as wood violets.

Aelthiel that has not been specially crafted into naethiel or nysthiel will take a dye, and all three are incredibly durable. Other common uses of aelthiel are small trinkets and stained glass art, often framed by locally sourced woods, which is hung from windows.

''An Aside: The Unusual Obsession with Vegetable Vases''<br>
When speaking of Ardenai glasswork, one would be remiss if they did not bring up the unusual and quirky fashion that swept across the Elven Nations a few thousand years ago -- celery vases.

The wave-like pattern on the glass naturally fits with their carving tradition, and its durability allows for years of use if well-cared for.

Working from their fortress city of Kilaniraj on the slopes of Asharikan Mountain, artisans of all types are hard at work innovating as well as keeping old traditions alive and relevant. Giantman may not be as known for glass artistry as they are for their metalworking, especially with zorchar, but there are numerous skilled artisans working magic (sometimes literally) with glass today.

'''Zorsikan and Zarrkat:''' Zorsikan is a Grot'karesh glass specialty that involves the intricate working of molten zorchar into the glass. These threads of zorchar form patterns, symbols, or Saramar runes within the glass, and the final product will sometimes send lightning-like sparks within the glass. These sparks are contained by the glass and pose no danger to those in their vicinity unless the glass has been improperly blown.

Together with magical and alchemy experts, a specialized type of zorsikan is often made as well. Known as zarrkat, the interior threads of zorchar are shaped into Saramar runes governing magical actions, and the final zarrkat product may be used for the purposes the runes indicate.

There is a brisk trade of seeker glass as well, and wandering giantman may bring extra ishkaj jewelry and baubles with them to barter along the way.

=== Zehet'jad: A Dhe'narsi Poison Glass ===
Zehet'jad (literally 'poison glass') refers to a family of glasses worked with additives from nature's most poisonous, venomous, and toxic creatures. The additives range from the painful but non-lethal venom of several snakes and lizards to the quickest killing toxins found in the natural world (such as from certain jellyfish and cone snails) and everything in between. The most used version comes from the poison dart frogs found in the nearby jungles.

The glass itself is always tinged a vivid green hue, but other colors may be worked in as accents. It lends itself best to small items and trinkets (jewelry and the like, nothing too large). In the hands of an expert artisan, the poisons added to the glass are rendered inert. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if the z'heta (as it is colloquially known) has been crafted appropriately other than by touching it.

The glassmakers themselves do not touch their z'heta with bare hands; indeed, it is a tradition strictly adhered to that no one but the intended owner of the art object do so. It then becomes a matter of both trust and bravery. Typically, miscrafted z'heta will show its errors within minutes of first touch, but it can take up to several days if the mistakes were slight, and the poison diluted. Experts say that the true test of a z'heta's proper craftsmanship is if the owner can wear it against their skin for sixty-six days straight and suffer no adverse effects.

Naturally, the wearing of z'heta is seen by many to be a badge of courage, but for others, it is a testament to folly, partaking of danger when none is necessary. In addition, there are whispers and rumors surrounding z'heta, claiming that the poisons within may be activated by methods known only to the artisan and the recipient, and that it can thus be used as a tool for subtle assassinations long after a piece of the poison glass has been deemed safe. The Dhe'nar remain silent on that hypothesis.

Regardless, properly inert z'heta is a lovely addition to Elanthia's panoply of cultural glassworking.

Elanthian Holidays/Hibernal Holidays

GS4-XYNWEN: /* Iveltan: Appeasing the Moss Brethern */

{{official-document}}
{{TOCright}}

A selection of various winter celebrations found across Elanthia. This collection encompasses ceremonies from the winter solstice to just before the vernal equinox.

== Eorgaen ==

=== Solstice Sea Shanty Serenade ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Solstice Sea Shanty Serenade
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' On or near the winter solstice
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Denizens of the flotilla
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' the Great Piratical Flotilla
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' The annual Solstice Sea Shanty Serenade is one of winter's best events for the seafaring musically inclined. Throughout the day, contestants will showcase their unique takes on old sea shanties, introduce the flotilla to new shanties, and (of course) drink heavily. By evening, the best of the best will have been selected, and the top several will compete for the title.

: It is tradition to teach everyone the various shanties, so that when ships set sail again, they will carry new shanties across the seas. Many claim that the longest lasting, most popular sea shanties of various cultures all originated with the flotilla's solstice serenade, but that boast is unproven. Regardless, the event itself is a relaxing affair (as relaxing as one can get on a flotilla of pirates) with food, drink, and song flowing freely.

: In addition, sailors are often superstitious folk, and they pay their due to Charl and Niima during this time as well, ensuring that old shanties are song and offerings to the oceans made.

:''Piratical Philanthropy:'' While not a holiday, per se, it would be remiss to not note the outpouring of philanthropy that occurs during this time as well. Just before winter solstice, numerous donations mysteriously appear on the docks of ports across Elanthia, all earmarked for orphanages, and it is rumored these come from those who call the flotilla home. However, if pressed, these pirates and privateers of the perilous seas will emphatically deny such largess, even if caught with colorfully wrapped packages at their feet. Dockmasters the world over ensures these offerings make it to the orphanages, pragmatically removing the more dangerous gifts, such as weaponry and grog.

=== Vespertine Phantasmagoria===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' The Vespertine Phantasmagoria
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Winter solstice through Lornon’s Eve
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Faendryl
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' New Ta'Faendryl
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' On the winter solstice of the northern hemisphere there is a strange disturbance on the Dark Moon. It becomes increasingly red over the next ten or eleven days, from the night of utmost darkness, until the blood red of Lornon’s Eve. This is a time when the flows of essence become unusually chaotic, when the veils are weaker, and the undead are most prone to uprising. There is perhaps nowhere more severely disrupted in this way than the cursed lands of Rhoska-Tor, the old places of the Ur-Daemon, which have been haunted with undeath since the Age of Darkness.

:With the increase in mana storms around the wound in reality that was once Maelshyve, New Ta’Faendryl is basked in nocturnal lights from the wastes, not unlike auroras from below rather than the skies on high. From the horizon the city is serenaded with banshee wails and moaning spirits; the blackened and barren plains below, flooded with undeath, born of the dark power of that realm.

:Out of this a holiday emerged from the shadowmancers of New Ta’Faendryl making spectral light shows in the night sky over the city. This is now known as the Vespertine Phantasmagoria. The phantasmagoria is famous for its processions of imaginary spectres in the streets, as well as increasingly elaborate or surreal works of illusion, which dance around the glowing backdrop of the palace at night. High society is enraptured at this time of year with midnight masques, with the most lavish dances held in the manors of the upper classes. These “vespertine balls” are the stage of much intrigue and social climbing, especially among the wealthy and powerful, and serve as the high season for the Faendryl fashion houses.

:The Patriarch hosts grandiose operas in the underground amphitheaters below the surface city. These were retrofitted from caverns that had once been used for subterranean farming, with their artificial lighting of crystals, before more fertile lands on the surface had been seized for the imperium. Orchestra pits for the musicians and illusionists make use of the superior acoustic and lighting qualities of these chambers for producing highly elaborate stagecraft. Operas are performed in multiple languages, varying with the time and place of the setting or the races of the characters, with themes centered on the glories of House Faendryl.

:Most often this is a theatrical depiction of the vanquishing of Despana and the destruction of the black keep of Maelshyve. This is no coincidence as the Armata will spend this week corralling and herding the unsettled undead around the ruins of Maelshyve in the valley below the city. While this horde is not as big as the original, varying in size each year, it is enough to be dangerous.

:When Lornon’s Eve has reached its climax, the Armata makes a show of re-enacting the Battle of Maelshyve for spectators, unleashing hordes of the demonic into the Vale of Darkness. The undead have no instinct to assault the unliving demons, which have no souls, and are prone to obey or follow the more powerful forces of darkness. The demonic have no such inhibitions and tear apart the undead in black flames of carnage and utter violence of destruction. With the veils at their weakest and most unstable, sorcerers “tickle the dragon’s tail” on the unhealing rift of Maelshyve, a kind of dark catalyst that sets off an immense explosion of balefire from the collapse of valencial instabilities. The blasted plains are scorched in a fast moving wall of greenish-black flames, billowing and rising with heat, forming an infernal pillar of devastation where Maelshyve once stood.

:Though this will rip through the fiends and the undead with ungodly force, annihilating most of what haunts that forsaken place, the Armata does not bother banishing what it summoned. Whatever survives is let loose into the wasteland. These demons and their undead entourage will be deadly to the terrorists and dark cults who dwell in Rhoska-Tor, or else will break further north toward the Demonwall. The Basilica no longer goes out of its way to suppress malevolent forces if they are only a threat to humans, whether abominations of the wastes, or dangerous factions such as the Horned Cabal or demon worshippers. This is punishment for the attempted genocide by Empress Selantha II and Sentinel Happersett, and the ill-fated Duke Nyrmont of Kezmon Isle, when the Turamzzyrian Empire invaded in what the humans call the Third Elven War. Thus, the Faendryl make a point of refreshing “the Scourge” for them in this way every year.

=== Senreisit Eve ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Senreisit Eve
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Late Eorgaen
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Winedotters
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' Ta'Illistim
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' Held on the first Feastday after Solstice, Senreisit Eve is a bit of a dodgy annual market held in an underground warehouse that is part of Verkwiel, the burghal gnome enclave of Ta'Illistim. It is one of the rare times outsiders are allowed even a glimpse of the enclave, and that alone makes Senreisit a popular event. The name loosely translates to Lost Gears, though perhaps more accurately it should be called Stolen Gears, since "senra" is Gnomish for stolen.

:At the event, sellers hawk numerous wares, including repurposed clockwork and other tinkered items. This gives the evening its name, as, historically, these were items pilfered from the trash bins of Ta'Illistim. In more modern times, the pilfering is minimized, and instead, the items are obtained in barter or trade with the residents of the city-state. However, it is also a time for burghal gnomes to dig deep within their own families' dusty vaults and storage areas, and it is this that is the biggest draw for the Illistim -- the chance for a true, rare find.

:Not all Winedotters in Illistim appreciate Senreisit; many find the slightly dubious provenance of many of the items to be distasteful and worry it will reflect poorly on all Winedotters. At one point, there was an attempt to "upgrade" the experience, but it seems the elves of Ta'Illistim rather enjoyed having an evening to go below ground and search through somewhat questionable goods in the hopes of an amazing find, so the slightly seedy nature of Senreisit remains.

===Quenayd Pala Gyrrdha'ta===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Quenayd Pala Gyrrdha'ta, roughly translated to Family Gathering Week
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Week leading up to Winter Solstice
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Aelotoi
: '''Where is is celebrated:''' Cysaegir
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' Beginning on the first day of the week leading up to the Winter Solstice, aelotians will gather together with their families and friends to celebrate the upcoming holiday. During this time, stories of the past year, often exaggerated, are shared in prose or song and serve as the inspiration for quilt square patterns. Each square is sewn to display highlights of the tale, and may be simple or incredibly detailed, depending on the skill of the one crafting it. Once complete, the squares may be joined in one of two ways:
:* If the square(s) are meant to be gifted to the most senior of the family, they will be added onto a quilt already completed in the past.
:* A new quilt may be sewn from the squares if it is meant to be gifted to an expectant couple awaiting the birth of their first child in order to begin the story of their family.

: ''On Story Quilts''
:There is an intricate dance of meaning between the various components of the aelotian word for their art form of story quilts -- "ayrsah'leril." To fully grasp it, one must start at the beginning with the word for story itself, "suta'katayr'sah." Literally translated as "imagination's safe haven time," the full term is very rarely used, and instead, aelotoi will use either "katayr" or "ayrsah." Katayr refers to most stories and tales, both oral and written, while ayrsah is reserved for epic ballads and tales and lengthier story cycles.

:Next is "letheril," the term for quilt. This is from "cylleth," or the art of sewing, and "meril," which means forever. It is believed the name derives from the practice of passing down these items from generation to generation, something that is ever easier in Elanthia, but its importance is rooted in their time in Bre'Naere when materials and time were rare and precious.

:Finally, we come to ayrsah'leril -- using the story term most associated with story cycles and a shortening of the word for quilt. The term itself showcases the importance of story quilts in aelotoi life; these are important, generation-spanning works of art.

=== Kah'lewas ===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Kah'lewas
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Throughout Eorgaen
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Iyo, but has been adopted throughout Isle of the Four Winds
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Isle of the Four Winds, Mist Harbor
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' In the Iyo community, individuals practice a tradition known as Kah'lewas (Kah meaning nest or safe place and lewas meaning giving or blessing) or more commonly, "Nest Blessing," where gifts are secretly left in one another’s homes, often by night or when no one is around to see the giver.

: The inspiration for this custom is a small bird that makes it home in the monsoon jungle on the Isle of the Four Winds that has a unique behavior among the fauna of the island. The olysos bird is a small, songbird with pale green and blue feathers along its back and a dark golden breast. Its narrow, slender beak is tipped with a mote of white. This bird drops seeds, fruit, or other food items into neighboring birds' nests, perhaps out of abundance or generosity.

: For the Iyo, Nest Blessing is a way to share good fortune, blessings, and sustenance without the expectation of acknowledgment or direct reciprocation. Each gift is chosen thoughtfully, often something handcrafted, foraged, or uniquely suited to the recipient’s needs or preferences. It might be a woven basket of rare fruit, a beautiful shell, medicinal herbs, or a finely crafted tool. They adorn their homes with small woven or carved bird symbols to show respect and gratitude for the inspiration these birds provide. Leaving these gifts anonymously is considered especially important, as it mirrors the birds’ quiet, unassuming generosity and reinforces humility. This custom not only strengthens community bonds but also fosters a culture of giving for the joy of it, allowing each person to feel supported and valued by their fellow tribe members.

: Over time, many who live on the Isle of the Four Winds have adopted this holiday and all of its customs, and look forward to sharing the celebration with the native tribes.

=== Ta'Ardenai: Hibernal Court Celebrations ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Heralds of the Long Dark, Stormriders of the Creeping Forest, and Serenades of the Snowdrop
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Throughout the winter season
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Ardenai elves
: '''Where is it celebrated:''' Ta'Ardenai
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' At the start of this court's session, seven snow buntings with royal blue ribbons tied to their legs are released. The three ceremonies of the Hibernal Court are Heralds of the Long Dark, Stormriders of the Creeping Forest, and Serenades of the Snowdrop.

: ''For more detail, see the Hibernal Court section of the [[Ta'Ardenai/Seasonal Courts|Ta'Ardenai Seasonal Courts]] document.''

== Lormesta ==

=== Eyra Ayd Bre'Drenlo Dyrhka Kerirdim ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Ayd Bre'Drenlo Dyrhka Kerirdim, roughly translated into "First Day of Driving Away Hated Enemies"
: '''Date of the Holiday/Celebration: First day of Lormesta'''
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Aelotoi
: '''Where is it celebrated:''' Primarily Cysaegir
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' Following [[#Quenayd Pala Gyrrdha'ta|Quenayd Pala Gyrrdha'ta]], the aelotoi begin to prepare for Eyra Ayd Bre'Drenlo Dyrhka Kerirdim, the first hunt of the year in which the aelotoi gather into large parties in order to engage and dispatch kiramon. In most cases, this is the inaugural hunt for those who have reached adolescence the prior year and is considered a step into adulthood. At no point is the youth to engage in their first hunt on their own, as tradition dictates such a step to be celebrated by close relatives and friends. Following the hunt, the aelotoi feast and share their various trophies with those unable to attend.

=== Iveltan: Appeasing the Moss Brethern ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Iveltan
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' 1st of Lormestra
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Ralgrenek dwarves
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' Various
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' Ralgrenek lore states that lost dwarves become the Ivelerek, a mythical clan that exists in the deepest, most unreachable caverns of Elanthia (for more information see [[Glassworking/Part Three | the Ivelrek section here]]).

: Several Ralgrenek communities and enclaves begin the new year by celebrating Iveltan. A trio of dwarves trek down a little-traveled tunnel, typically one that goes deeper than others and is often considered dangerous. When the tunnel becomes impassable, the trio leaves offerings for the Moss Brethern, including food and tools.

:After the trio returns from their journey, the tunnel is blockaded to keep others away and allow the Lost Ones to accept their offering. The community toasts the trio, speaks remembrances for any friends lost in the caverns during the last year, and then turns to more celebratory measures, such as drinking, eating, and unbridled revelry.

:The Ralgrenek never had a need to build their own large cities, so they often find themselves surrounded by other dwarven cultures. While the lore of the Ivelerek is a Ralgrenek creation, others will join the Iveltan celebration or use it as an excuse for localized parties throughout the settlement.

=== Frozen Dead Elf Days ===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Frozen Dead Elf Days
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Second week of Lormesta
:'''Who celebrates it:''' The town of Connedale
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Barony of Dragach
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' The residents of Connedale in the barony of Dragach have learned to embrace and celebrate the harsh winters of the nearby Dragonspine mountains. Used to informing the friends and family of travelers that their loved one will not be returning to them has given the Connedale populace a somewhat darkly comedic love for life and its celebration. Nowhere is this more apparent than their annual "Frozen Dead Elf Days," held in second week of Lormesta.

:Once upon a time, when a traveler's body was found and not yet identified, it was common practice to place the corpse on ice until such a time as friends or family came looking, or the spring thaw came (at which point, records were made, personal belongings preserved, and the body properly disposed of). During this time, approximately a hundred years ago, an elf was found dead of (apparently) natural causes. With elven relationships not exactly stellar, the town decided it best to maintain the elf on ice for longer than normal. For the next decade, the dead elf was kept in deep cold storage while attempts were made to find family or friends.

:About ten years into the dead elf's storage, a group of drunken townsfolk decided to take the frozen corpse out for some fun. They absconded with the body and went sledding, much to the chagrin of the town elders and much to the delight of virtually everyone else. Travelers, even a handful of hardy elves trekking through that winter, clamored for a chance to have a sketch done with the dead elf and a sled.

:And from there, it just... snowballed. Worried about actually offending the elves or the Arkati or the spirits of the wind (Connedale places great import and superstition upon its harsh winds), the elf itself was finally given a proper burial. The event, however, was not.

:Frozen Dead Elf Days is a week-long event that draws visitors from across Elanthia to partake in absolutely ridiculous activities at outrageous prices that assist the economy of Dragach, especially Connedale, for months to come. While many pilgrimage to Lanark Falls in better weather, during Frozen Dead Elf Days, participants flock to the waters to see who can last the longest naked in its frigid pools.

:There are sledding competitions, snowball wars, dangerous winter hikes, coffin races down the main street, and more. When outdoor activities are impossible, indoor contests abound as well, mostly focused around drinking or brawling.

:Throughout it all, there is the opportunity to get a sketch done with that year's "frozen dead elf." Travelers throughout the year are encouraged to sign an agreement with Connedale to serve as the festival's mascot should the worst come to pass. In return, if "chosen," the deceased star of Frozen Dead Elf Days will be encased in ice and displayed all winter then buried appropriately in spring. Their named heir will receive a compensatory sum as well. Should there be no actual corpse that year (which rarely happens), a resident will typically play dead during set times.

:Like most town-based festivals, good food, good drink, and overall merriment abound, and numerous vendors sell wares and commemorative items.

=== Starveling's Succor===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Starveling's Succor
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' 31st of Lormesta (January 31st)
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Half-elves, primarily.
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' In and around Ta'Nalfein
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' More memorial than celebration, the tradition of Starveling's Succor honors the lost half-elven settlement of Feagh and its citizens, which fell to orc incursions and winter starvation. In the centuries since the tradition's inception, it has come to focus on supporting the underprivileged and feeding the hungry. Modern observances vary, but they commonly include leaving a fresh loaf of bread on one's doorstep or the sharing of food with friends and strangers alike. Those who observe will set an extra place at their table that evening, ready to welcome in whosoever knocks on their door, and give them a full belly and a warm place to sleep. Some prominent individuals in the city and in the outlying villages are known to host feasts on Lormesta 31st, though not all make mention of Feagh or the Starveling's Succor tradition. All through the winter, several pubs in Ta'Nalfein serve a hot cider and rum drink they call Ysandra's Tales or, alternately, Ysandra's Tears.

== Fashanos ==

=== Day of Voaris and Laethe===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' [[Day of Voaris and Laethe]]
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' 14th day of Fashanos
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Global
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Global
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' See detailed page.

=== Day of the Forlorn Poet===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Day of the Forlorn Poet
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Throughout Fashanos
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Elves
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Global
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' The Day of the Forlorn Poet celebrates the written word and opportunities for would-be writers and up-and-coming songsmiths to showcase their talent… or lack thereof, typically their works read or sung aloud by a neutral third party who is encouraged to imbibe spirits by those gathered.

:The story of the Forlorn Poet has various origins, some Vaalorians swearing it was a pair of legionnaires, whilst Loenthrans believe it could be no other than a pair of inebriated artists to encourage such a ridiculous spectacle. The identities of the two parties involved in the story are typically contested over several drinks in celebration of the holiday, and one must caution themselves before launching into such a polarizing debate.

:However, the framework of the story is always the same. A pair of elves, each secretly in love with the other, hires a spirited songsmith to serenade their beloved. Unbeknownst to each elf, they have hired the same songsmith, an individual familiar with confusion and very familiar with an evening of inebriation.

:The elves write heartfelt proclamations of love and friendship, the prose pouring over the folded pages stuffed into the songsmith's cape. The bard stumbles centerstage at the local tavern, strumming his lute as he blurrily procures one of the sheets of parchment, singing a melodic tribute to the wonders of young love… or so he thought.

:In reality, the befuddled bard played a rousing tune upon his frayed broomstick, his voice a cacophony of started cat, several guffaws, and the occasional burp. The elves, upon witnessing the assault on the taverngoers eardrums, decided to take matters into their own hands and professed their feelings once they escaped the songsmith serenading a peahen who had mistakenly wandered into the tavern.

:Each year, friends and kin elect The Forlorn Poet, the designation one of honor and light-hearted ribbing. The Poet is gifted a variety of spirits alongside folded pages neatly penned with the name of the intended recipient. In turn, The Poet must ensure that the words on the page are properly conveyed to the recipient through their preferred method of performance. All in good fun, past Poets have presented their pages through interpretive dance, a mosaic of empty wine bottles, and one dramatic retelling utilizing a Poet's pet maedat as the protagonist.

=== Passions of the Departure===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' The Passions of the Departure; The Wandering (Zhu’shom); Harrowing of the Wasteland
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Middle of Fashanos
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Dhe'nar
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Sharath, Eh'lah
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' The jungles of the Dhe’nar empire border the Southron Wastes, where the climate transitions rapidly from the wetness of the tropics into the unforgiving desert. In the winter following the heavy rains as the winds shift, when the southern seas are cooler and the storms are fewer and weaker, harvesting from the perennial growth is interrupted by droughts. This impacts the Duk’sa in the wilds and the villages beyond the Forest of Ash, more than Sharath itself, where the Khanshael farm mushrooms deep underground.

:In the Rebuilding following the fall of Sharath, this time of fasting became a ritual in homage to the Departure, when the Dhe’nar struggled to survive in the wastelands. This would eventually be twisted upside down in Eh’lah, with extravagant carnivals and gluttonous excesses of feasting, as the southern rainforest hits its growth spurt when clouds are not blocking the sun.

:These festivals are known for their passion plays. There are dramatic imitations of Noi’sho’rah issuing his prophetic execration, condemning Elves who do not follow the Way, and the Ascent when he joined the Arkati. His follower Tahlad Tsi’shalar, which loosely means “the best disciple”, futilely argues against the sundering of the Elves. Tahlad is unable to sway the stock villain, Korthyr Faendryl, who invites boos and hisses from the crowd. In the settlement of Eh’lah it is not unheard of for some visiting Faendryl, such as traders of the Emporion, to watch these plays and enjoy them out of dark humor, as well as having a cultural familiarity and mutual appreciation for vilifying scapegoats.

:It is historically controversial when the ancestors of the Dhe’nar actually departed. The Illistim Chroniclers put it shortly after the discovery of Ithnishmyn by the Houses, when the sylvans were harassed by slavers and religious cults seeking converts. This was around fifty thousand years ago when Yshryth Faendryl was exiling dissidents from the Empire. The Dhe’nar instead traditionally have the Departure closer to sixty thousand years ago, before the Illistim Chronicles existed, with Tahlad as the uncle of a young and brash Korthyr who was leading a movement of separation.

:Regardless, the exodus to what is now called Rhoska-Tor is indisputable, where the Dhe’nar were tested with hardships and hunger in a land of darkness. Out of this evolved a second ritual of the passions, the Zhu’shom, meaning the Wandering. It is a dangerous pilgrimage into the wasteland undertaken by some Dhe’nar when they are seeking to prove themselves in adulthood.

:The vast majority of the Dhe’nar population is in the worker caste, having not been chosen by the temple or the shadowy conscriptors, nor having been successful if offered or volunteered for trials into the warrior caste when they were children. But Noi’sho’rah said the Way is open to all, always, even for those who have lost it. This dissatisfaction or resentment sometimes finds its outlet in Dhe’nar who will harrow the wasteland to prove their strength. They are not trained for such a journey. Though it is sometimes performed by warriors or mages of the higher castes for their own reasons.

:In the Wandering the pilgrims of the Firstborn will travel to Sharath, where the Great Mountain is said to have risen through the tomb of Tahlad. They travel north into the central Southron Wastes, which is very hazardous, even in the winter months. This terrain is highly geologically unstable, being prone to landslides, or even flash flooding especially in the slot canyons.

:In tracing back the path of the Departure, these wanderers must not only survive the deadly indigenous creatures of the central wastes, and those tribes or races who have hostility with the Dhe’nar, they must travel toward the outer reaches of Rhoska-Tor where the land itself is saturated in dark power. It is far more likely that they will encounter creatures of darkness as they move further east, including undead and the demonic, or the twisted and mutated aberrations of that terrible haunted realm.

:There they seek the supposed place where Tahlad died, having never lived to see the promised land. Legend holds the ground burst forth with volcanic rock as Tahlad wept blood beholding his final vision, wherein he foresaw the Fall of Sharath, his followers having failed to heed the divine warning that would end in the Great Mountain. It is a tortured black monolith of basalt fused with shards of veil iron and urglaes, called the “Tears of Tahlad”, which leaves a distinct mark by searing the flesh. They must touch the “Despair of the Gods”, burning it into their skin, while reciting the words of the prophet: ''“Here we return to our beliefs, and we stand firm always.”''

:Though many of these wanderers will not survive, either journeying to the black spire or returning to Sharath, many did not survive the Departure. Those who return with the mark are celebrated for their devotion to the Way. Those who failed to walk with power become part of the story of their people.

=== The Feast of Remembrance and Reconciliation ===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' The Feast of Remembrance and Reconciliation
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' After the start of the new year, typically in early Fashanos because it takes time to get word of the Feast to adventurous wanderers.

:'''Who celebrates it:''' Bandits and adventurers in and around Kraken's Fall

:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Kraken's Fall

:'''A short description of the holiday:''' Each new year as an adventurer or bandit is treacherous, whether on land or across the seas. While the turning of the calendar presents new opportunities for conquest and loot, they also are a glorious and sobering reminder of those whom we have loved and fought, both alongside and across swords. Because one thing all adventurers and bandits share is a hard life of conflict, where friends and alliances are quickly made... and potentially dissolved just as quickly.

:Oral narratives and scraps of parchment around Kraken's Fall tell of a day just after the start of each new year where pirates and bandits put aside quarrels and come together for a day of feasting, friendly fighting, stories, song, and remembrance. This is a day for bragging about the great hauls taken in during the previous year, for memorializing those lost in pursuit of treasure, for tall tales and the magnification of nascent legends, and of all manner of boasting, feasting, drinking, and camaraderie. Because, while tomorrow is uncertain, this day and night are about life.

:Over the years, versions of this feast have been recorded: long pirate tables replete with stolen foods; demure adventurers breaking bread with strident bandits, sharing their greatest boasts from the previous year; a chance for enemies to come together and, over many bottles of rum, ponder why exactly they are fighting; and, a communal toast for a prosperous year that they may boast of in feasts to come.

== Charlatos ==

=== Peahen's Picnic ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Peahen's Picnic
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Weekends of the month of Charlatos
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Elves, Enjoyers of Picnicking
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' Gardens and Lawns
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' The arrival of the spring season is heralded by the blooming of flora, the melting of snow… and the screaming of peahens. In a rumored attempt to appease the screeching of the beloved peafowl, several picnickers took it upon themselves to create a "decoy" picnic spread, including several fluffy cushions and a small string quartet, successfully luring the birds away from their own celebrations.

: Thus began the celebration of the Peahen's Picnic. Throughout the month of Charlatos, elves and their guests spend their afternoons enjoying the newly bloomed gardens and lawns across the Elven Nations, playing games upon the grass and sharing in elaborate picnics. Always nearby is an accompanying picnic for feathered fellows, furry animals, and scaled companions, a celebration (or bribe) for creatures we call friends.

=== Wrath of the Drake ===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Wrath of the Drake
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Second Weekend of Charlatos
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Ornathians
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Sleeping Drake Harbor

: Held annually on the last full weekend of Charlatos in Sleeping Drake Harbor, Wrath of the Drake honors Fash'lo'nae, the Grandfather of Knowledge, and the fire, both literal and intellectual, that he gifted to mortals, despite the objections of the Great Drakes and other Arkati. The heart of the festival is a torch race up the travertine cliffs to one side of the Spine of Koar, where competitors must overcome Nine Hazards to bring fire to the edge of the Agora Promenade.

: The day begins with the arrival of contestants and spectators from across the island. Outlying farmsteads send representatives, and the harbor fills with revelers as the morning is spent in debate and storytelling, where scholars, tricksters, and firebrands share tales of forbidden wisdom, lost knowledge, and the ever-present pursuit of truth. Fire-eaters, flame dancers, and masked performers take to the streets, ensuring no mind remains unstirred and no heart untested.

: At the third hour past midday, competitors gather at the base of the Spine of Koar, each carrying a lit torch. The goal: deliver fire to the peak, where a great wrought-iron brazier of firewood awaits ignition. The path is fraught with Nine Hazards, each a test of wit, agility, or sheer determination.

: The Hazards are:
# The Assassin's Ambush – Several acrobats costumed as Onar attempt to snatch competitors' torches.
# Harbingers of Lumnis – Stilt-walking parrots squawk riddles, blocking passage until answered.
# The Drake's Tail – A sweeping rope obstacle mimicking a drake's thrashing tail.
# Rolling Barrels – Large barrels tumble down the steps, forcing nimble footwork.
# Shifting Pennants – Billowing flags and banners obscure the path, a test of instinct and memory.
# Sheeted Spectres – Large white sheets mask the way, disorienting runners and representing the fog that can cloud a mind.
# Echoing Wisdom – Competitors must repeat whispered phrases, but tricksters offer false words to deceive them.
# The Scholar's Leap – A gap in the stairs requires a well-timed leap or risk being delayed by mischievous scholars.
# The Great Drake's Maw – A massive Koar costume blocks the final stretch, opening only for those who offer fire or knowledge.

: The first competitor to reach the summit and ignite the brazier is declared the victor, though no prize beyond prestige is given.

: As night falls, the fire is carried back down, and the festival concludes with a grand bonfire, where the people of Ornath drink, debate, and revel beneath the firelit sky, celebrating the gifts of Fash'lo'nae and the eternal pursuit of knowledge.

: While originally a single-day event, Wrath of the Drake has expanded in recent years into a three-day festival, incorporating preliminary games, performances, and additional challenges inspired by the Nine Hazards.

=== The Bluebell Battle ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' The Bluebell Battle (less commonly, Skirmish of the Lilacs)
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Late Charlatos, just before the spring equinox
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Humans
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' Selanthia
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' The Viscountess Amelyrrelia Winterkiss-Tittleberry and the Grand Lady Vetaxette Sootleby made history in 5003 over what has become known as The Bluebell Battle. At the end of the winter season, the nobility that often wintered in luxurious properties outside Tamzyrr were known to throw elaborate balls and parties to celebrate the impending spring. Unfortunately for the women in question (and fortunately for future historians and everyone else), the season of 5003 took a somewhat violent turn.

:The women, most bosomy of friends until the historic event, jointly planned ''the'' event of the season, a three-day artistic extravaganza capped by an elaborate ball with Tamzyrr's finest musicians vying for the honor to play their latest compositions as anyone who was ''anyone'' would be in attendance and patronages would be flowing.

:The week before the event, however, the two women argued most foully over the Flower Parade. Once alike in thoughts and deeds, Amelyrrelia and Vetaxette fought bitterly over the arrangement of flowers. It came down, historians say, to bluebells versus hothouse-grown lilacs. The Viscountess favored the naturally blossoming bluebells, gathered in abundance from her many gardens, while Grand Lady Vetaxette insisted on using her greenhouse's overflowing lilac blossoms.

:So vexed and inflexible were these women, that it came to rapiers at teatime. Finding the tight corsets and binding fabrics of their gowns a hinderance, both women ripped them off and, entirely topless, proceeded to sword fight by the Winterkiss-Tittleberry lily pond and in front of dozens of women serving on a planning committee that had heretofore been remarkably respectable and somewhat boring.

:Grand Lady Vetaxette won the duel with a slash to Viscountess Amelyrrelia's arm, settling the matter on lilacs. However, in a grand gesture, she stated the bluebells, daisies, and buttercups Amelyrrelia so wanted would be included. No one quite knew why such a compromise could not have been reached beforehand, but it certainly served to increase the popularity of a somewhat waning event.

:For the next several years, the two women were asked to recreate their duel, and they obliged until well in their 80s. By then, the tradition was set, and now, every year, the Bluebell Battle is waged.

:Noble women vie for the honor to be chosen to duel in modern days, with any confirmed relation to either of the original combatants being given precedent. The Winterkiss-Tittleberry lily pond still exists, and the duel is recreated, followed by a flower parade and a grand ball.

:So entertaining and long-reaching was the tale, that many such celebrations crop up around Selanthia (and sometimes even in neighboring areas of the Empire). It may just be a topless duel in late March in one town, but in another, it is a topless duel atop a float as a parade rolls down cobblestone streets.

:Tradition states that artistic patronages follow these events, and the entire affair is now a joyous celebration of art, music, and gardening (and for many women, an excuse to learn swordplay on the slight chance they are chosen to duel).

=== Birthday of Ghorsa Borthuum ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Birthday of Ghorsa Borthuum
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' 27th of Charlatos
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Teras Isle
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' Kharam-Dzu
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' The birthday of Ghorsa Borthuum has been celebrated since the founding of Teras Isle, when the search for the lost Kezmonian lands blew his flying balloon ship off course. As the founder of the Borthuum Clan, Borthuum Mining Company, and attributed with the discovery of glaes, Ghorsa's legacy hallmarks and testifies to the strength of dwarven ambition and undaunted courage.

:Dwarves of the Borthuum Clan often take a tour of the Stormbrow Gallery on this day and honor their founder with a toast during their meals. Most families will have one or more recount Ghorsa's adventures as they recall it being told to them, passed on from generation to generation. These recounted tales have remained consistent among the dwarves on Teras Isle, and any discrepancies are quickly remedied to ensure his story remains true for future tellings.

:Children of the Borthuum families are gifted small toys, crafted into symbolic representations of the journey that led to the discovery of Teras Isle.

Glassworking/Part Three

GS4-XYNWEN: Protected "Glassworking/Part Three" ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))

{{official-document}}
== Artisanal Glasses of Elanthia: Part 3 ==
''From the desk of Isienaka, Chief Scholar of Atan Irith'' <br>

Below are additional excerpts from Isharaj Calikan's dissertation on glasswork to serve as a companion to the other excerpts previously shared, [[Glassworking | Artisanal Glasses of Elanthia]] and [[Glassworking/A Continuation | its continuation]]. Please enjoy.

== From Chapter 6: Culturally or Regionally Significant Techniques and Styles ==
From ''"Glassworking and Glassblowing: A Comprehensive Examination of Elanthian Glass Techniques Across the Ages"'' by Isharaj Calikan, Scholar Apprentice, Order of the Sky and Cloud

=== Achvlas and Zokivlas ===
While dwarves are more well-known for mining and artisanal expertise around metals and glaes, there are always those whose craftsmanship extends to other areas. Deep within the mountains, the Gem-Eaters of the Oltregek, in cooperation with the Moss-Weavers of the Ralgrenek<ref>In Dwarven, Taklaftil and Zokveregs, respectively (capitalization is optional when speaking of the groups and their members)</ref>, use their unusual skills to create two unique dwarven glasses: ''achvlas'' and ''zokivlas.''

''Achvlas'' <br>
Glassworkers of the Taklaftil use alchemically distilled tinctures of specific gems along with infusions of liquefied moss provided by the Zokveregs while their glass is molten to create a glass known as achvlas. Achvlas is a rare type of glass that holds a scent<ref>See also the section on Ardenai flower glasses for a similar glassworking style</ref>; the scent is dependent upon the gems used, and the specifics are a closely guarded secret.

Achvlas has several uses, including as small metal-framed glass disks placed in trunks or drawers as either a pest-deterrent or a means of enhancing the scent of fabric contained within. The aroma is increased when exposed to gentle heat, so some dwarves will hang a pane of achvlas in front of a fireplace or near a stove. Candles can be placed within achvlas candle vases to activate the glass's scent, though care must be taken if combined with a scented candle, as they can easily clash in unexpected and unwelcome ways.

A small conclave of ale-makers is experimenting with storing beer in specially created achvlas jugs designed to infuse specific scents into the alcohol in unique ways. This practice remains niche, but its practitioners hope it gains popularity over time.

Achvlas takes a dye well, and the Taklaftil are kept busy fulfilling orders and innovating new uses.

''Zokivlas'' <br>
Known in Common as moss-glass, zokivlas is glass that incorporates moss, typically intricately woven into patterns. Done in panes, the threads of moss serve to strengthen the glass a bit and also to reduce glass-related injuries when it does break, as the moss clings to the shards, making them easier to find and softening the sharp edges.

Zokivlas is not limited to panes, however, and moss-glass trinkets are common with the Ralgrenek. The Oltregek gem-eaters provide a tincture that allows zokivlas to have the faint scent of fresh moss growing in a damp cavern, and the Ralgrenek moss-weavers incorporate this in various measures, depending upon either the artist's personal desire or the customer placing the order.

In vases and other trinkets, the moss becomes more artistic and less functional (though it is important to note that even in the panes, the use of moss is aesthetically pleasing), and one will see other cavern flora make their way into the glass -- lichen and tiny mushrooms being most common, all expertly worked together. Special treatments render the glass undyeable, as the clarity of the glass is important in showcasing the art woven within.

'''''On The Gem-Eaters and Moss-Weavers of the Dwarven Clans'''''<br>
'''Gem-Eaters:''' An unusual condition occurs from time to time in the Oltregek clan, wherein a dwarf has a compulsion to eat the very gems the clan is so famous for mining. These dwarves, known as taklaftil, are able to ascertain unique uses for the various gems by tasting them. Eating solid gemstone, however, is hard on the teeth, and over the centuries, the taklaftil have refined their processes in order to meet the needs of their compulsion.

According to them, each gem has a unique use when ingested by a gem-eater, and this use varies somewhat depending on whether the gem is crushed to dust before eating, rendered into a tincture via alchemy for drinking, shattered into smaller pieces for chewing, or if one works on chewing down the entire gem without these methods. For a truly gifted taklaftil, even merely licking or sucking upon a gem can release some of its unique powers, but it is greatly limited.

As an example, a taklaftil who eats a clear citrine experiences improved vision that allows them to see better in the dark, with the range being a small boost to seeing in the pitch black as if it were daylight, and if combined with a green citrine, the gem-eaters claim they can see through rock to find gemstone deposits. Other combinations assist in finding veins of mithril, and so on.

Their study of their compulsion has led them to become some of the pre-eminent alchemists for gemstone-related needs, including possible medicinal uses. The selling and drinking of gem-derived tinctures for a variety of ailments waxes and wanes in usage with non-taklaftils, but currently this folk medicine is seeing a surge in popularity in various Oltregek communities.

'''Moss-Weavers & The Ivelerek:''' Within deep-dwelling Ralgrenek communities, the zokveregs, in addition to being preeminent weavers of moss and the crafters of moss-glass, are highly superstitious and live in small enclaves set apart from their fellow clan members. Many of them believe both they and the taklaftil have been touched by the Ivelerek ('touched by' having various definitions depending on who is defining -- cursed, blessed, controlled, etc.). According to the moss-weavers, the Ivelerek are a lost clan of dwarves that dug too deeply, disturbed something they should not have, and were transformed. They are doomed to stay far below even the deepest of mines and tunnels, and legend has it that the Ivelrek's caverns are magical places filled with glowing mushrooms the size of houses, veins of rare and undiscovered ores thicker than the most rotund dwarf's middle, and varieties of moss the likes of which have never been seen.

The Ivelrek purportedly have clusters of luminescent toadstools growing from their heads, tendrils of moss and fungi naturally entwined within their beards, and patches of lichen scattered across their body. It is said they only rise above their impossibly deep caverns to claim a lost miner and make them one of their own (there are many variations on myths like this amongst the dwarven clans to account for lost miners, but the Ivelrek is strictly a Ralgrenek belief), or to guide a lost dwarf to safety (often in a dream or vision). Colloquially, the Ivelrek are known as the Lost Dwarves or the Moss Brethren.

Some Ralgrenek enclaves celebrate a holiday known as Iveltan, wherein town leaders send a representative as deep as possible to leave food, drink, mining tools, and several pieces of zokivlas as an offering to the Ivelrek. The offering area is chosen carefully for its remoteness and depth, and it is strictly forbidden to be visited except on the offering day.<ref>See also [https://gswiki.play.net/Elanthian_Holidays/Hibernal_Holidays#Iveltan:_Appeasing_the_Moss_Brethern Hibernal Holidays]</ref>

=== Driftglass and Riverglass ===
Amongst the Vanadre Chiras, the [[Driftglass Fayre of Van Anicola| Anicola]] are the preeminent creators of driftglass. Inspired by seaglass (and taking its name from an obsolete term for it), driftglass is created when bits of glass are worn down in river and lake beds. While other cultures may use this methodology occasionally, the best-known source of driftglass comes from the Vanadre Chiras, and more specifically, Van Anicola. Indeed, it is not considered true driftglass unless it comes from the Anicola's special caches on the Isle of Four Winds.

Like its seaglass counterpart, driftglass is not blown. Pre-existing glass items are broken or cut, sometimes into rough figures, and then placed in riverbeds and lakes. These are left for years, if not a decade or more, as patience, time, and perhaps a bit of alchemical assistance are all required for the original glass's transformation into driftglass.

Across the years, the glass is naturally tumbled by the water's movement, wearing itself against water, rock, and shore until it is polished to a high sheen. Driftglass lacks the frosted nature of seaglass, but the Anicola have perfected their driftglass process; the finished product is pulled from the waters bearing a distinctive moire pattern across the surface.

While over the years driftglass has come to be used solely for the river or lake glass crafted by Van Anicola on the Isle of Four Winds, there are non-driftglass alternatives. It is still predominantly the provenance of the Vanadre Chiras, and it is typically called "riverglass" even if its origins are within a lake. Riverglass lacks driftglass's moire pattern, but like both it and seaglass, riverglass has been weathered and tumbled into a recognizably separate entity from regular glass.

''Van Anicola Traditions''<br>
Van Anicola has several traditions and activities around driftglass, only a few of which are well-known. For example, if an artisan dies with existing caches, the van will ensure it is retrieved only when ready, so the artist's last work is complete. Special care is taken with these, and distribution of the driftglass is a decision left to the artist's stated intentions or to their closest friends and family.

When a child displays an interest in driftglass, they are taken to the Isle of Four Winds to place their first cache and brought back a decade later to retrieve it. If a child is unable to return, a family member or designee will do so for them. In those rare cases when a child has died, however, a family member or designee will retrieve it during the next visit, even if it is unready. It is seen as a representation of the unfinished life. It may be worked into remembrance art, but that is dependent upon the family. Some will scatter it along the road as they travel, others will keep it in a small keepsake chest, and so on.

It is believed there are several 'training' areas throughout the jungle, and after their special 'first cache,' children may return and use these areas, as will adults who are experimenting with various techniques. These areas are often considered a free-for-all, with some caches being seeded by the van for children and others to practice. The resulting driftglass is typically a bit rougher and more utilitarian, but it can still be traded and sold.

=== Evashiran Alchemical Glassworking ===
Evashirans' expertise in alchemy and their penchant for experimentation yield numerous unique advancements in several areas, and glassworking is one such area. The Order of Crystalline Song (Lyx'Sianla) holds the secrets to several techniques, including ''stekla'', ''perytla'', and ''evissila''.

More commonly known as 'echo glass,' stekla holds faint sounds, the whispering echoes of the original sound. It is difficult to create, requiring several disciplines of glassworking, magic, and alchemy working together to capture a sound or voice in a particular moment during its crafting (this also means the artisans and everything else must be perfectly silent in the final magical moments). At its simplest, echo glass will 'echo' a single word or noise, but the top artisans have managed short phrases.

A stekla installation often consists of several pieces of stekla holding different phrases to 'released' in a set order, resulting in glass recitations of poetry or song. When combined with perytla or 'chime glass,' art installations become a melodic orchestration of visual and auditory delights.

Perytla uses several scientific techniques along with alchemical expertise to craft glass that will create its own musical chiming sounds when external stimuli, such as wind, water, or touch are applied. This allows for several landscaping experiences, such as placing perytla sculptures in windy areas or in water displays, to create musical interludes while walking through a garden.

While both stekla and perytla are more frequently seen in larger sculptures used for art installations and displays, there are smaller occurrences of these glasses. A loved one, for example, may commission a pendant or trinket of stekla which will, when triggered, echo a whispered endearment. Small perytla statuettes and baubles may be carried for luck or sentiment as well; holding them up to the wind or gently exhaling on them will activate their inherent sounds.

A bit more prosaic, but still beautiful, is evissila. This is also known as iris glass or glow glass because of its use of meviriel (mana irises) and the resultant glow effect. While evissila may be crafted to allow for the turning on or off the glow, in its most famous state, it begins to glow at sunset and stops at sunrise, all on its own. This phenomenon occurs regardless of geographic location or time of year, and being inside (including deep within caves and the like) has no impact on its ability to know when to glow or not.

The most common use for evissila is to light areas that should always be softly lit, such as hallways and the like. It is also an excellent lighting solution for libraries as it holds none of the danger of flame, and the light itself may be colored differently upon creation to match the best sort of light to the circumstances. Traveling Evashiran may carry smaller pieces with them as reminders of home, but these pieces tend to be luminescent without the fine precision of larger, more permanent pieces.

=== The Flower Glasses of Ta'Ardenai ===
Amongst the Ardenai, there exists a glassworking style that is the envy of many an artisan; known as the flower glasses of Ta'Ardenai, these glasses hold floral scents. Similar to the dwarven-made achvlas, these glasses are typically used in containers that store linens and other cloth items as a replacement of, or enhancement to, sachets.

''Aelthiel'' is the primary term for the flower glasses, and there are two sub-categories -- naethiel (or roseglass) and nysthiel (or violetglass). Naethiel is used to describe aelthiel that uses roses. It does not take a dye, and the process of creating it renders the glass a pale pink. It is typically intensely rose-scented, and artisans can imbue it with specific and distinct rose varietals. Nysthiel, always a pale violet hue, describes aelthiel made from violets, and it also can be tailored to the scent of specific sorts of violets, such as wood violets.

Aelthiel that has not been specially crafted into naethiel or nysthiel will take a dye, and all three are incredibly durable. Other common uses of aelthiel are small trinkets and stained glass art, often framed by locally sourced woods, which is hung from windows.

''An Aside: The Unusual Obsession with Vegetable Vases''<br>
When speaking of Ardenai glasswork, one would be remiss if they did not bring up the unusual and quirky fashion that swept across the Elven Nations a few thousand years ago -- celery vases.

It started in Ta'Ardenai, where wealthier Ardenai began displaying stalks of celery in glass vases, often intricately etched or press-patterned, but always crystal clear to showcase the beautiful greens of the celery. It quickly spread, for reasons inexplicable to most modern aesthetics, and soon, artisans were churning out hundreds of celery vases. No noble entry way or dining room was complete without a vase of ornately displayed celery, especially in the winter, when the obtaining of such fresh vegetation would be a more difficult endeavor.

Other elven houses picked up on this fashion statement, and a few tried to make it their own by showcasing other vegetables. Some enterprising artisans tried to create a demand for carrot vases (slightly smaller and meant to display bundles of carrots with leafy green tops spilling over a flared top), while other attempts were made at finding display options for turnips, eggplants, and, oddly enough, the plain potato. Smaller versions of celery vases known as asparagus urns had a mild success, along with the formerly mentioned carrot versions, but beyond that, nothing held the fashion forward crowd's attention like the celery vase. Its popularity waned after several decades, but the artistry of the celery vases produced during that time remain.

=== Fractured Glasses: Coveglass and Briarglass ===
While numerous glassworkers do a style of "fractured" glass, two cultures, Paradis halflings and Seareach humans, have taken the art to new levels. Originally, leaders of Seareach attempted to call this signature glass artistry ''seaglass'', but they were ultimately unsuccessful given the fact the term was already in use and quite popular. Once they realized this was going to be an unsuccessful endeavor, they pivoted to ''coveglass'', as the first artisan to make coveglass successfully hailed from Brisker's Cove.

Interestingly enough, the alternate name of the Paradis version of this glass,''sarvith'', is "briarglass," and it is also named after a famous cove town -- in this case, Briarmoon Cove, where a gathering of halfling artisans created the unique techniques that go into this popular style of fractured glass.

Fractured glass (also known as crackled glass or ice glass) involves taking a hot glass product, plunging it in icy cold water just enough to create thin fractures, then quickly placing it back in the fire while blowing to ensure the cracks remain. The quench-heat-blow cycle can be repeated multiple times, which impacts the crackling effect. The final result produces a patterning akin to that of a crocodile hide.<ref> Attempts to call it crocodile glass were made by a few reptilean enthusiasts, but the name never caught on.</ref>

Sarvith artisans have perfected the technique of controlling the fracture, enabling them to create actual patterns and designs with these minute breaks rather than settling for the standard crocodilian look. The most renowned modern blower of briarglass controls her fracturing so well that she can guide the glass into detailed landscape scenes across her panes and vases.

Similar to sarvith, coveglass hits new heights in the fractured glass category with its durability (one can drop a coveglass vase, and it rarely breaks) and its patterning. Coveglass artists change their quenching technique slightly, and rather than a crocodile skin pattern, the end result can either be a fish scale look or a spiraled "crashing wave" appearance. This oceanic influence has earned it the nickname of "mermaid glass."

'''''On Wendwillows and Coveglass'''''
Wendwillow forest gnomes frequently purchase coveglass, commissioning sturdy glass blades for their story knives (''yaruviq''). These knives are not used for any sort of combat and are strictly ceremonial. Wendwillows have a tradition of telling stories aided by images drawn in riverbanks, snow, or sand. They use the yaruviq to aid in the carving, and when the tale is done, the flat of the blade erases the fleeting artwork.

Traditional yaruviq are crafted from antler, bone, or wood, and they are typically unadorned except for wavy patterns etched into the blade to mimic the sweeping motions used when clearing the story carvings. Changing the wooden blade for a coveglass one is a newer development but one readily accepted by many Wendwillow storytellers. The wave-like pattern on the glass naturally fits with their carving tradition, and its durability allows for years of use if well-cared for.

=== Glasses of the Grot'karesh ===
Being less nomadic than many of their kindred brethren, the Hammer Clan often serves as the initiating impetus for advances in skills such as glassblowing that do not lend themselves well for wandering lifestyles. Working from their fortress city of Kilaniraj on the slopes of Asharikan Mountain, artisans of all types are hard at work innovating as well as keeping old traditions alive and relevant. Giantman may not be as known for glass artistry as they are for their metalworking, especially with zorchar, but there are numerous skilled artisans working magic (sometimes literally) with glass today.

'''Zorsikan and Zarrkat:''' Zorsikan is a Grot'karesh glass specialty that involves the intricate working of molten zorchar into the glass. These threads of zorchar form patterns, symbols, or Saramar runes within the glass, and the final product will sometimes send lightning-like sparks within the glass. These sparks are contained by the glass and pose no danger to those in their vicinity unless the glass has been improperly blown.

Together with magical and alchemy experts, a specialized type of zorsikan is often made as well. Known as zarrkat, the interior threads of zorchar are shaped into Saramar runes governing magical actions, and the final zarrkat product may be used for the purposes the runes indicate. Common uses are for perimeter traps that fire when undead cross an invisible barrier between two like-activated zarrkat totems. However, individual talismans imbued with defensive and offensive magic is also frequently requested.

A zorsikan workshop is a dangerous place, as working zorchar into the glass is a delicate and complex process. Accidents happen frequently, and artisans take numerous precautions. Completed products are set into a protected room and monitored for two weeks. Unstable zorsikan will explode within hours typically, so holding them for several days ensures their safety prior to distribution.

'''Ishkaj:''' Also known as 'seeker glass,' ishkaj is made with ash and sand brought from afar by the Ishan (or Wandering Ones). The artisan etches protective runes into the glass from the interior, so the runes cannot be worn down with handling. This allegedly gives extra protections from undead and demonic forces, but its efficacy is mostly in the belief and comfort it provides. Ishan often wear ishkaj talismans, and they may gift ishkaj trinkets to friends and family to serve as a remembrance of their time together. There is a brisk trade of seeker glass as well, and wandering giantman may bring extra ishkaj jewelry and baubles with them to barter along the way.

=== Zehet'jad: A Dhe'narsi Poison Glass ===
Zehet'jad (literally 'poison glass') refers to a family of glasses worked with additives from nature's most poisonous, venomous, and toxic creatures. The additives range from the painful but non-lethal venom of several snakes and lizards to the quickest killing toxins found in the natural world (such as from certain jellyfish and cone snails) and everything in between. The most used version comes from the poison dart frogs found in the nearby jungles.

The glass itself is always tinged a vivid green hue, but other colors may be worked in as accents. It lends itself best to small items and trinkets (jewelry and the like, nothing too large). In the hands of an expert artisan, the poisons added to the glass are rendered inert. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if the z'heta (as it is colloquially known) has been crafted appropriately other than by touching it.

The glassmakers themselves do not touch their z'heta with bare hands; indeed, it is a tradition strictly adhered to that no one but the intended owner of the art object do so. It then becomes a matter of both trust and bravery. Typically, miscrafted z'heta will show its errors within minutes of first touch, but it can take up to several days if the mistakes were slight, and the poison diluted. Experts say that the true test of a z'heta's proper craftsmanship is if the owner can wear it against their skin for sixty-six days straight and suffer no adverse effects.

Naturally, the wearing of z'heta is seen by many to be a badge of courage, but for others, it is a testament to folly, partaking of danger when none is necessary. In addition, there are whispers and rumors surrounding z'heta, claiming that the poisons within may be activated by methods known only to the artisan and the recipient, and that it can thus be used as a tool for subtle assassinations long after a piece of the poison glass has been deemed safe. The Dhe'nar remain silent on that hypothesis.

Regardless, properly inert z'heta is a lovely addition to Elanthia's panoply of cultural glassworking.

=== Achvlas and Zokivlas ===
While dwarves are more well-known for mining and artisanal expertise around metals and glaes, there are always those whose craftsmanship extends to other areas. Deep within the mountains, the Gem-Eaters of the Oltregek, in cooperation with the Moss-Weavers of the Ralgrenek<ref>In Dwarven, Taklaftil and Zokveregs, respectively (capitalization is optional when speaking of the groups and their members)</ref>, use their unusual skills to create two unique dwarven glasses: ''achvlas'' and ''zokivlas.''

''Achvlas'' <br>
Glassworkers of the Taklaftil use alchemically distilled tinctures of specific gems along with infusions of liquefied moss provided by the Zokveregs while their glass is molten to create a glass known as achvlas. Achvlas is a rare type of glass that holds a scent<ref>See also the section on Ardenai flower glasses for a similar glassworking style</ref>; the scent is dependent upon the gems used, and the specifics are a closely guarded secret.

Achvlas has several uses, including as small metal-framed glass disks placed in trunks or drawers as either a pest-deterrent or a means of enhancing the scent of fabric contained within. The aroma is increased when exposed to gentle heat, so some dwarves will hang a pane of achvlas in front of a fireplace or near a stove. Candles can be placed within achvlas candle vases to activate the glass's scent, though care must be taken if combined with a scented candle, as they can easily clash in unexpected and unwelcome ways.

A small conclave of ale-makers is experimenting with storing beer in specially created achvlas jugs designed to infuse specific scents into the alcohol in unique ways. This practice remains niche, but its practitioners hope it gains popularity over time.

Achvlas takes a dye well, and the Taklaftil are kept busy fulfilling orders and innovating new uses.

''Zokivlas'' <br>
Known in Common as moss-glass, zokivlas is glass that incorporates moss, typically intricately woven into patterns. Done in panes, the threads of moss serve to strengthen the glass a bit and also to reduce glass-related injuries when it does break, as the moss clings to the shards, making them easier to find and softening the sharp edges.

Zokivlas is not limited to panes, however, and moss-glass trinkets are common with the Ralgrenek. The Oltregek gem-eaters provide a tincture that allows zokivlas to have the faint scent of fresh moss growing in a damp cavern, and the Ralgrenek moss-weavers incorporate this in various measures, depending upon either the artist's personal desire or the customer placing the order.

In vases and other trinkets, the moss becomes more artistic and less functional (though it is important to note that even in the panes, the use of moss is aesthetically pleasing), and one will see other cavern flora make their way into the glass -- lichen and tiny mushrooms being most common, all expertly worked together. Special treatments render the glass undyeable, as the clarity of the glass is important in showcasing the art woven within.

'''''On The Gem-Eaters and Moss-Weavers of the Dwarven Clans'''''<br>
'''Gem-Eaters:''' An unusual condition occurs from time to time in the Oltregek clan, wherein a dwarf has a compulsion to eat the very gems the clan is so famous for mining. These dwarves, known as taklaftil, are able to ascertain unique uses for the various gems by tasting them. Eating solid gemstone, however, is hard on the teeth, and over the centuries, the taklaftil have refined their processes in order to meet the needs of their compulsion.

According to them, each gem has a unique use when ingested by a gem-eater, and this use varies somewhat depending on whether the gem is crushed to dust before eating, rendered into a tincture via alchemy for drinking, shattered into smaller pieces for chewing, or if one works on chewing down the entire gem without these methods. For a truly gifted taklaftil, even merely licking or sucking upon a gem can release some of its unique powers, but it is greatly limited.

As an example, a taklaftil who eats a clear citrine experiences improved vision that allows them to see better in the dark, with the range being a small boost to seeing in the pitch black as if it were daylight, and if combined with a green citrine, the gem-eaters claim they can see through rock to find gemstone deposits. Other combinations assist in finding veins of mithril, and so on.

Their study of their compulsion has led them to become some of the pre-eminent alchemists for gemstone-related needs, including possible medicinal uses. The selling and drinking of gem-derived tinctures for a variety of ailments waxes and wanes in usage with non-taklaftils, but currently this folk medicine is seeing a surge in popularity in various Oltregek communities.

'''Moss-Weavers & The Ivelerek:''' Within deep-dwelling Ralgrenek communities, the zokveregs, in addition to being preeminent weavers of moss and the crafters of moss-glass, are highly superstitious and live in small enclaves set apart from their fellow clan members. Many of them believe both they and the taklaftil have been touched by the Ivelerek ('touched by' having various definitions depending on who is defining -- cursed, blessed, controlled, etc.). According to the moss-weavers, the Ivelerek are a lost clan of dwarves that dug too deeply, disturbed something they should not have, and were transformed. They are doomed to stay far below even the deepest of mines and tunnels, and legend has it that the Ivelrek's caverns are magical places filled with glowing mushrooms the size of houses, veins of rare and undiscovered ores thicker than the most rotund dwarf's middle, and varieties of moss the likes of which have never been seen.

The Ivelrek purportedly have clusters of luminescent toadstools growing from their heads, tendrils of moss and fungi naturally entwined within their beards, and patches of lichen scattered across their body. It is said they only rise above their impossibly deep caverns to claim a lost miner and make them one of their own (there are many variations on myths like this amongst the dwarven clans to account for lost miners, but the Ivelrek is strictly a Ralgrenek belief), or to guide a lost dwarf to safety (often in a dream or vision). Colloquially, the Ivelrek are known as the Lost Dwarves or the Moss Brethren.

Some Ralgrenek enclaves celebrate a holiday known as Iveltan, wherein town leaders send a representative as deep as possible to leave food, drink, mining tools, and several pieces of zokivlas as an offering to the Ivelrek. The offering area is chosen carefully for its remoteness and depth, and it is strictly forbidden to be visited except on the offering day.<ref>See also [https://gswiki.play.net/Elanthian_Holidays/Hibernal_Holidays#Iveltan:_Appeasing_the_Moss_Brethern Hibernal Holidays]</ref>

=== Driftglass and Riverglass ===
Amongst the Vanadre Chiras, the [[Driftglass Fayre of Van Anicola| Anicola]] are the preeminent creators of driftglass. Inspired by seaglass (and taking its name from an obsolete term for it), driftglass is created when bits of glass are worn down in river and lake beds. While other cultures may use this methodology occasionally, the best-known source of driftglass comes from the Vanadre Chiras, and more specifically, Van Anicola. Indeed, it is not considered true driftglass unless it comes from the Anicola's special caches on the Isle of Four Winds.

Like its seaglass counterpart, driftglass is not blown. Pre-existing glass items are broken or cut, sometimes into rough figures, and then placed in riverbeds and lakes. These are left for years, if not a decade or more, as patience, time, and perhaps a bit of alchemical assistance are all required for the original glass's transformation into driftglass.

Across the years, the glass is naturally tumbled by the water's movement, wearing itself against water, rock, and shore until it is polished to a high sheen. Driftglass lacks the frosted nature of seaglass, but the Anicola have perfected their driftglass process; the finished product is pulled from the waters bearing a distinctive moire pattern across the surface.

While over the years driftglass has come to be used solely for the river or lake glass crafted by Van Anicola on the Isle of Four Winds, there are non-driftglass alternatives. It is still predominantly the provenance of the Vanadre Chiras, and it is typically called "riverglass" even if its origins are within a lake. Riverglass lacks driftglass's moire pattern, but like both it and seaglass, riverglass has been weathered and tumbled into a recognizably separate entity from regular glass.

''Van Anicola Traditions''<br>
Van Anicola has several traditions and activities around driftglass, only a few of which are well-known. For example, if an artisan dies with existing caches, the van will ensure it is retrieved only when ready, so the artist's last work is complete. Special care is taken with these, and distribution of the driftglass is a decision left to the artist's stated intentions or to their closest friends and family.

When a child displays an interest in driftglass, they are taken to the Isle of Four Winds to place their first cache and brought back a decade later to retrieve it. If a child is unable to return, a family member or designee will do so for them. In those rare cases when a child has died, however, a family member or designee will retrieve it during the next visit, even if it is unready. It is seen as a representation of the unfinished life. It may be worked into remembrance art, but that is dependent upon the family. Some will scatter it along the road as they travel, others will keep it in a small keepsake chest, and so on.

It is believed there are several 'training' areas throughout the jungle, and after their special 'first cache,' children may return and use these areas, as will adults who are experimenting with various techniques. These areas are often considered a free-for-all, with some caches being seeded by the van for children and others to practice. The resulting driftglass is typically a bit rougher and more utilitarian, but it can still be traded and sold.

=== Evashiran Alchemical Glassworking ===
Evashirans' expertise in alchemy and their penchant for experimentation yield numerous unique advancements in several areas, and glassworking is one such area. The Order of Crystalline Song (Lyx'Sianla) holds the secrets to several techniques, including ''stekla'', ''perytla'', and ''evissila''.

More commonly known as 'echo glass,' stekla holds faint sounds, the whispering echoes of the original sound. It is difficult to create, requiring several disciplines of glassworking, magic, and alchemy working together to capture a sound or voice in a particular moment during its crafting (this also means the artisans and everything else must be perfectly silent in the final magical moments). At its simplest, echo glass will 'echo' a single word or noise, but the top artisans have managed short phrases.

A stekla installation often consists of several pieces of stekla holding different phrases to 'released' in a set order, resulting in glass recitations of poetry or song. When combined with perytla or 'chime glass,' art installations become a melodic orchestration of visual and auditory delights.

Perytla uses several scientific techniques along with alchemical expertise to craft glass that will create its own musical chiming sounds when external stimuli, such as wind, water, or touch are applied. This allows for several landscaping experiences, such as placing perytla sculptures in windy areas or in water displays, to create musical interludes while walking through a garden.

While both stekla and perytla are more frequently seen in larger sculptures used for art installations and displays, there are smaller occurrences of these glasses. A loved one, for example, may commission a pendant or trinket of stekla which will, when triggered, echo a whispered endearment. Small perytla statuettes and baubles may be carried for luck or sentiment as well; holding them up to the wind or gently exhaling on them will activate their inherent sounds.

A bit more prosaic, but still beautiful, is evissila. This is also known as iris glass or glow glass because of its use of meviriel (mana irises) and the resultant glow effect. While evissila may be crafted to allow for the turning on or off the glow, in its most famous state, it begins to glow at sunset and stops at sunrise, all on its own. This phenomenon occurs regardless of geographic location or time of year, and being inside (including deep within caves and the like) has no impact on its ability to know when to glow or not.

The most common use for evissila is to light areas that should always be softly lit, such as hallways and the like. It is also an excellent lighting solution for libraries as it holds none of the danger of flame, and the light itself may be colored differently upon creation to match the best sort of light to the circumstances. Traveling Evashiran may carry smaller pieces with them as reminders of home, but these pieces tend to be luminescent without the fine precision of larger, more permanent pieces.

=== The Flower Glasses of Ta'Ardenai ===
Amongst the Ardenai, there exists a glassworking style that is the envy of many an artisan; known as the flower glasses of Ta'Ardenai, these glasses hold floral scents. Similar to the dwarven-made achvlas, these glasses are typically used in containers that store linens and other cloth items as a replacement of, or enhancement to, sachets.

''Aelthiel'' is the primary term for the flower glasses, and there are two sub-categories -- naethiel (or roseglass) and nysthiel (or violetglass). Naethiel is used to describe aelthiel that uses roses. It does not take a dye, and the process of creating it renders the glass a pale pink. It is typically intensely rose-scented, and artisans can imbue it with specific and distinct rose varietals. Nysthiel, always a pale violet hue, describes aelthiel made from violets, and it also can be tailored to the scent of specific sorts of violets, such as wood violets.

Aelthiel that has not been specially crafted into naethiel or nysthiel will take a dye, and all three are incredibly durable. Other common uses of aelthiel are small trinkets and stained glass art, often framed by locally sourced woods, which is hung from windows.

''An Aside: The Unusual Obsession with Vegetable Vases''<br>
When speaking of Ardenai glasswork, one would be remiss if they did not bring up the unusual and quirky fashion that swept across the Elven Nations a few thousand years ago -- celery vases.

It started in Ta'Ardenai, where wealthier Ardenai began displaying stalks of celery in glass vases, often intricately etched or press-patterned, but always crystal clear to showcase the beautiful greens of the celery. It quickly spread, for reasons inexplicable to most modern aesthetics, and soon, artisans were churning out hundreds of celery vases. No noble entry way or dining room was complete without a vase of ornately displayed celery, especially in the winter, when the obtaining of such fresh vegetation would be a more difficult endeavor.

Other elven houses picked up on this fashion statement, and a few tried to make it their own by showcasing other vegetables. Some enterprising artisans tried to create a demand for carrot vases (slightly smaller and meant to display bundles of carrots with leafy green tops spilling over a flared top), while other attempts were made at finding display options for turnips, eggplants, and, oddly enough, the plain potato. Smaller versions of celery vases known as asparagus urns had a mild success, along with the formerly mentioned carrot versions, but beyond that, nothing held the fashion forward crowd's attention like the celery vase. Its popularity waned after several decades, but the artistry of the celery vases produced during that time remain.

=== Fractured Glasses: Coveglass and Briarglass ===
While numerous glassworkers do a style of "fractured" glass, two cultures, Paradis halflings and Seareach humans, have taken the art to new levels. Originally, leaders of Seareach attempted to call this signature glass artistry ''seaglass'', but they were ultimately unsuccessful given the fact the term was already in use and quite popular. Once they realized this was going to be an unsuccessful endeavor, they pivoted to ''coveglass'', as the first artisan to make coveglass successfully hailed from Brisker's Cove.

Interestingly enough, the alternate name of the Paradis version of this glass,''sarvith'', is "briarglass," and it is also named after a famous cove town -- in this case, Briarmoon Cove, where a gathering of halfling artisans created the unique techniques that go into this popular style of fractured glass.

Fractured glass (also known as crackled glass or ice glass) involves taking a hot glass product, plunging it in icy cold water just enough to create thin fractures, then quickly placing it back in the fire while blowing to ensure the cracks remain. The quench-heat-blow cycle can be repeated multiple times, which impacts the crackling effect. The final result produces a patterning akin to that of a crocodile hide.<ref> Attempts to call it crocodile glass were made by a few reptilean enthusiasts, but the name never caught on.</ref>

Sarvith artisans have perfected the technique of controlling the fracture, enabling them to create actual patterns and designs with these minute breaks rather than settling for the standard crocodilian look. The most renowned modern blower of briarglass controls her fracturing so well that she can guide the glass into detailed landscape scenes across her panes and vases.

Similar to sarvith, coveglass hits new heights in the fractured glass category with its durability (one can drop a coveglass vase, and it rarely breaks) and its patterning. Coveglass artists change their quenching technique slightly, and rather than a crocodile skin pattern, the end result can either be a fish scale look or a spiraled "crashing wave" appearance. This oceanic influence has earned it the nickname of "mermaid glass."

'''''On Wendwillows and Coveglass'''''
Wendwillow forest gnomes frequently purchase coveglass, commissioning sturdy glass blades for their story knives (''yaruviq''). These knives are not used for any sort of combat and are strictly ceremonial. Wendwillows have a tradition of telling stories aided by images drawn in riverbanks, snow, or sand. They use the yaruviq to aid in the carving, and when the tale is done, the flat of the blade erases the fleeting artwork.

Traditional yaruviq are crafted from antler, bone, or wood, and they are typically unadorned except for wavy patterns etched into the blade to mimic the sweeping motions used when clearing the story carvings. Changing the wooden blade for a coveglass one is a newer development but one readily accepted by many Wendwillow storytellers. The wave-like pattern on the glass naturally fits with their carving tradition, and its durability allows for years of use if well-cared for.

=== Glasses of the Grot'karesh ===
Being less nomadic than many of their kindred brethren, the Hammer Clan often serves as the initiating impetus for advances in skills such as glassblowing that do not lend themselves well for wandering lifestyles. Working from their fortress city of Kilaniraj on the slopes of Asharikan Mountain, artisans of all types are hard at work innovating as well as keeping old traditions alive and relevant. Giantman may not be as known for glass artistry as they are for their metalworking, especially with zorchar, but there are numerous skilled artisans working magic (sometimes literally) with glass today.

'''Zorsikan and Zarrkat:''' Zorsikan is a Grot'karesh glass specialty that involves the intricate working of molten zorchar into the glass. These threads of zorchar form patterns, symbols, or Saramar runes within the glass, and the final product will sometimes send lightning-like sparks within the glass. These sparks are contained by the glass and pose no danger to those in their vicinity unless the glass has been improperly blown.

Together with magical and alchemy experts, a specialized type of zorsikan is often made as well. Known as zarrkat, the interior threads of zorchar are shaped into Saramar runes governing magical actions, and the final zarrkat product may be used for the purposes the runes indicate. Common uses are for perimeter traps that fire when undead cross an invisible barrier between two like-activated zarrkat totems. However, individual talismans imbued with defensive and offensive magic is also frequently requested.

A zorsikan workshop is a dangerous place, as working zorchar into the glass is a delicate and complex process. Accidents happen frequently, and artisans take numerous precautions. Completed products are set into a protected room and monitored for two weeks. Unstable zorsikan will explode within hours typically, so holding them for several days ensures their safety prior to distribution.

'''Ishkaj:''' Also known as 'seeker glass,' ishkaj is made with ash and sand brought from afar by the Ishan (or Wandering Ones). The artisan etches protective runes into the glass from the interior, so the runes cannot be worn down with handling. This allegedly gives extra protections from undead and demonic forces, but its efficacy is mostly in the belief and comfort it provides. Ishan often wear ishkaj talismans, and they may gift ishkaj trinkets to friends and family to serve as a remembrance of their time together. There is a brisk trade of seeker glass as well, and wandering giantman may bring extra ishkaj jewelry and baubles with them to barter along the way.

=== Zehet'jad: A Dhe'narsi Poison Glass ===
Zehet'jad (literally 'poison glass') refers to a family of glasses worked with additives from nature's most poisonous, venomous, and toxic creatures. The additives range from the painful but non-lethal venom of several snakes and lizards to the quickest killing toxins found in the natural world (such as from certain jellyfish and cone snails) and everything in between. The most used version comes from the poison dart frogs found in the nearby jungles.

The glass itself is always tinged a vivid green hue, but other colors may be worked in as accents. It lends itself best to small items and trinkets (jewelry and the like, nothing too large). In the hands of an expert artisan, the poisons added to the glass are rendered inert. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if the z'heta (as it is colloquially known) has been crafted appropriately other than by touching it.

The glassmakers themselves do not touch their z'heta with bare hands; indeed, it is a tradition strictly adhered to that no one but the intended owner of the art object do so. It then becomes a matter of both trust and bravery. Typically, miscrafted z'heta will show its errors within minutes of first touch, but it can take up to several days if the mistakes were slight, and the poison diluted. Experts say that the true test of a z'heta's proper craftsmanship is if the owner can wear it against their skin for sixty-six days straight and suffer no adverse effects.

Naturally, the wearing of z'heta is seen by many to be a badge of courage, but for others, it is a testament to folly, partaking of danger when none is necessary. In addition, there are whispers and rumors surrounding z'heta, claiming that the poisons within may be activated by methods known only to the artisan and the recipient, and that it can thus be used as a tool for subtle assassinations long after a piece of the poison glass has been deemed safe. The Dhe'nar remain silent on that hypothesis.

Regardless, properly inert z'heta is a lovely addition to Elanthia's panoply of cultural glassworking.

Special care is taken with these, and distribution of the driftglass is a decision left to the artist's stated intentions or to their closest friends and family.

When a child displays an interest in driftglass, they are taken to the Isle of Four Winds to place their first cache and brought back a decade later to retrieve it. If a child is unable to return, a family member or designee will do so for them. In those rare cases when a child has died, however, a family member or designee will retrieve it during the next visit, even if it is unready. It is seen as a representation of the unfinished life. It may be worked into remembrance art, but that is dependent upon the family. Some will scatter it along the road as they travel, others will keep it in a small keepsake chest, and so on.

It is believed there are several 'training' areas throughout the jungle, and after their special 'first cache,' children may return and use these areas, as will adults who are experimenting with various techniques. These areas are often considered a free-for-all, with some caches being seeded by the van for children and others to practice. The resulting driftglass is typically a bit rougher and more utilitarian, but it can still be traded and sold.

=== Evashiran Alchemical Glassworking ===
Evashirans' expertise in alchemy and their penchant for experimentation yield numerous unique advancements in several areas, and glassworking is one such area. The Order of Crystalline Song (Lyx'Sianla) holds the secrets to several techniques, including ''stekla'', ''perytla'', and ''evissila''.

More commonly known as 'echo glass,' stekla holds faint sounds, the whispering echoes of the original sound. It is difficult to create, requiring several disciplines of glassworking, magic, and alchemy working together to capture a sound or voice in a particular moment during its crafting (this also means the artisans and everything else must be perfectly silent in the final magical moments). At its simplest, echo glass will 'echo' a single word or noise, but the top artisans have managed short phrases.

A stekla installation often consists of several pieces of stekla holding different phrases to 'released' in a set order, resulting in glass recitations of poetry or song. When combined with perytla or 'chime glass,' art installations become a melodic orchestration of visual and auditory delights.

Perytla uses several scientific techniques along with alchemical expertise to craft glass that will create its own musical chiming sounds when external stimuli, such as wind, water, or touch are applied. This allows for several landscaping experiences, such as placing perytla sculptures in windy areas or in water displays, to create musical interludes while walking through a garden.

While both stekla and perytla are more frequently seen in larger sculptures used for art installations and displays, there are smaller occurrences of these glasses. A loved one, for example, may commission a pendant or trinket of stekla which will, when triggered, echo a whispered endearment. Small perytla statuettes and baubles may be carried for luck or sentiment as well; holding them up to the wind or gently exhaling on them will activate their inherent sounds.

A bit more prosaic, but still beautiful, is evissila. This is also known as iris glass or glow glass because of its use of meviriel (mana irises) and the resultant glow effect. While evissila may be crafted to allow for the turning on or off the glow, in its most famous state, it begins to glow at sunset and stops at sunrise, all on its own. This phenomenon occurs regardless of geographic location or time of year, and being inside (including deep within caves and the like) has no impact on its ability to know when to glow or not.

The most common use for evissila is to light areas that should always be softly lit, such as hallways and the like. It is also an excellent lighting solution for libraries as it holds none of the danger of flame, and the light itself may be colored differently upon creation to match the best sort of light to the circumstances. Traveling Evashiran may carry smaller pieces with them as reminders of home, but these pieces tend to be luminescent without the fine precision of larger, more permanent pieces.

=== The Flower Glasses of Ta'Ardenai ===
Amongst the Ardenai, there exists a glassworking style that is the envy of many an artisan; known as the flower glasses of Ta'Ardenai, these glasses hold floral scents. Similar to the dwarven-made achvlas, these glasses are typically used in containers that store linens and other cloth items as a replacement of, or enhancement to, sachets.

''Aelthiel'' is the primary term for the flower glasses, and there are two sub-categories -- naethiel (or roseglass) and nysthiel (or violetglass). Naethiel is used to describe aelthiel that uses roses. It does not take a dye, and the process of creating it renders the glass a pale pink. It is typically intensely rose-scented, and artisans can imbue it with specific and distinct rose varietals. Nysthiel, always a pale violet hue, describes aelthiel made from violets, and it also can be tailored to the scent of specific sorts of violets, such as wood violets.

Aelthiel that has not been specially crafted into naethiel or nysthiel will take a dye, and all three are incredibly durable. Other common uses of aelthiel are small trinkets and stained glass art, often framed by locally sourced woods, which is hung from windows.

''An Aside: The Unusual Obsession with Vegetable Vases''<br>
When speaking of Ardenai glasswork, one would be remiss if they did not bring up the unusual and quirky fashion that swept across the Elven Nations a few thousand years ago -- celery vases.

It started in Ta'Ardenai, where wealthier Ardenai began displaying stalks of celery in glass vases, often intricately etched or press-patterned, but always crystal clear to showcase the beautiful greens of the celery. It quickly spread, for reasons inexplicable to most modern aesthetics, and soon, artisans were churning out hundreds of celery vases. No noble entry way or dining room was complete without a vase of ornately displayed celery, especially in the winter, when the obtaining of such fresh vegetation would be a more difficult endeavor.

Other elven houses picked up on this fashion statement, and a few tried to make it their own by showcasing other vegetables. Some enterprising artisans tried to create a demand for carrot vases (slightly smaller and meant to display bundles of carrots with leafy green tops spilling over a flared top), while other attempts were made at finding display options for turnips, eggplants, and, oddly enough, the plain potato. Smaller versions of celery vases known as asparagus urns had a mild success, along with the formerly mentioned carrot versions, but beyond that, nothing held the fashion forward crowd's attention like the celery vase. Its popularity waned after several decades, but the artistry of the celery vases produced during that time remain.

=== Fractured Glasses: Coveglass and Briarglass ===
While numerous glassworkers do a style of "fractured" glass, two cultures, Paradis halflings and Seareach humans, have taken the art to new levels. Originally, leaders of Seareach attempted to call this signature glass artistry ''seaglass'', but they were ultimately unsuccessful given the fact the term was already in use and quite popular. Once they realized this was going to be an unsuccessful endeavor, they pivoted to ''coveglass'', as the first artisan to make coveglass successfully hailed from Brisker's Cove.

Interestingly enough, the alternate name of the Paradis version of this glass,''sarvith'', is "briarglass," and it is also named after a famous cove town -- in this case, Briarmoon Cove, where a gathering of halfling artisans created the unique techniques that go into this popular style of fractured glass.

Fractured glass (also known as crackled glass or ice glass) involves taking a hot glass product, plunging it in icy cold water just enough to create thin fractures, then quickly placing it back in the fire while blowing to ensure the cracks remain. The quench-heat-blow cycle can be repeated multiple times, which impacts the crackling effect. The final result produces a patterning akin to that of a crocodile hide.<ref> Attempts to call it crocodile glass were made by a few reptilean enthusiasts, but the name never caught on.</ref>

Sarvith artisans have perfected the technique of controlling the fracture, enabling them to create actual patterns and designs with these minute breaks rather than settling for the standard crocodilian look. The most renowned modern blower of briarglass controls her fracturing so well that she can guide the glass into detailed landscape scenes across her panes and vases.

Similar to sarvith, coveglass hits new heights in the fractured glass category with its durability (one can drop a coveglass vase, and it rarely breaks) and its patterning. Coveglass artists change their quenching technique slightly, and rather than a crocodile skin pattern, the end result can either be a fish scale look or a spiraled "crashing wave" appearance. This oceanic influence has earned it the nickname of "mermaid glass."

'''''On Wendwillows and Coveglass'''''
Wendwillow forest gnomes frequently purchase coveglass, commissioning sturdy glass blades for their story knives (''yaruviq''). These knives are not used for any sort of combat and are strictly ceremonial. Wendwillows have a tradition of telling stories aided by images drawn in riverbanks, snow, or sand. They use the yaruviq to aid in the carving, and when the tale is done, the flat of the blade erases the fleeting artwork.

Traditional yaruviq are crafted from antler, bone, or wood, and they are typically unadorned except for wavy patterns etched into the blade to mimic the sweeping motions used when clearing the story carvings. Changing the wooden blade for a coveglass one is a newer development but one readily accepted by many Wendwillow storytellers. The wave-like pattern on the glass naturally fits with their carving tradition, and its durability allows for years of use if well-cared for.

=== Glasses of the Grot'karesh ===
Being less nomadic than many of their kindred brethren, the Hammer Clan often serves as the initiating impetus for advances in skills such as glassblowing that do not lend themselves well for wandering lifestyles. Working from their fortress city of Kilaniraj on the slopes of Asharikan Mountain, artisans of all types are hard at work innovating as well as keeping old traditions alive and relevant. Giantman may not be as known for glass artistry as they are for their metalworking, especially with zorchar, but there are numerous skilled artisans working magic (sometimes literally) with glass today.

'''Zorsikan and Zarrkat:''' Zorsikan is a Grot'karesh glass specialty that involves the intricate working of molten zorchar into the glass. These threads of zorchar form patterns, symbols, or Saramar runes within the glass, and the final product will sometimes send lightning-like sparks within the glass. These sparks are contained by the glass and pose no danger to those in their vicinity unless the glass has been improperly blown.

Together with magical and alchemy experts, a specialized type of zorsikan is often made as well. Known as zarrkat, the interior threads of zorchar are shaped into Saramar runes governing magical actions, and the final zarrkat product may be used for the purposes the runes indicate. Common uses are for perimeter traps that fire when undead cross an invisible barrier between two like-activated zarrkat totems. However, individual talismans imbued with defensive and offensive magic is also frequently requested.

A zorsikan workshop is a dangerous place, as working zorchar into the glass is a delicate and complex process. Accidents happen frequently, and artisans take numerous precautions. Completed products are set into a protected room and monitored for two weeks. Unstable zorsikan will explode within hours typically, so holding them for several days ensures their safety prior to distribution.

'''Ishkaj:''' Also known as 'seeker glass,' ishkaj is made with ash and sand brought from afar by the Ishan (or Wandering Ones). The artisan etches protective runes into the glass from the interior, so the runes cannot be worn down with handling. This allegedly gives extra protections from undead and demonic forces, but its efficacy is mostly in the belief and comfort it provides. Ishan often wear ishkaj talismans, and they may gift ishkaj trinkets to friends and family to serve as a remembrance of their time together. There is a brisk trade of seeker glass as well, and wandering giantman may bring extra ishkaj jewelry and baubles with them to barter along the way.

=== Zehet'jad: A Dhe'narsi Poison Glass ===
Zehet'jad (literally 'poison glass') refers to a family of glasses worked with additives from nature's most poisonous, venomous, and toxic creatures. The additives range from the painful but non-lethal venom of several snakes and lizards to the quickest killing toxins found in the natural world (such as from certain jellyfish and cone snails) and everything in between. The most used version comes from the poison dart frogs found in the nearby jungles.

The glass itself is always tinged a vivid green hue, but other colors may be worked in as accents. It lends itself best to small items and trinkets (jewelry and the like, nothing too large). In the hands of an expert artisan, the poisons added to the glass are rendered inert. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell if the z'heta (as it is colloquially known) has been crafted appropriately other than by touching it.

The glassmakers themselves do not touch their z'heta with bare hands; indeed, it is a tradition strictly adhered to that no one but the intended owner of the art object do so. It then becomes a matter of both trust and bravery. Typically, miscrafted z'heta will show its errors within minutes of first touch, but it can take up to several days if the mistakes were slight, and the poison diluted. Experts say that the true test of a z'heta's proper craftsmanship is if the owner can wear it against their skin for sixty-six days straight and suffer no adverse effects.

Naturally, the wearing of z'heta is seen by many to be a badge of courage, but for others, it is a testament to folly, partaking of danger when none is necessary. In addition, there are whispers and rumors surrounding z'heta, claiming that the poisons within may be activated by methods known only to the artisan and the recipient, and that it can thus be used as a tool for subtle assassinations long after a piece of the poison glass has been deemed safe. The Dhe'nar remain silent on that hypothesis.

Regardless, properly inert z'heta is a lovely addition to Elanthia's panoply of cultural glassworking.

Elanthian Holidays/Hibernal Holidays

A selection of various winter celebrations found across Elanthia. This collection encompasses ceremonies from the winter solstice to just before the vernal equinox.

== Eorgaen ==

=== Solstice Sea Shanty Serenade ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Solstice Sea Shanty Serenade
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' On or near the winter solstice
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Denizens of the flotilla
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' the Great Piratical Flotilla
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' The annual Solstice Sea Shanty Serenade is one of winter's best events for the seafaring musically inclined. Throughout the day, contestants will showcase their unique takes on old sea shanties, introduce the flotilla to new shanties, and (of course) drink heavily. By evening, the best of the best will have been selected, and the top several will compete for the title.

: It is tradition to teach everyone the various shanties, so that when ships set sail again, they will carry new shanties across the seas. Many claim that the longest lasting, most popular sea shanties of various cultures all originated with the flotilla's solstice serenade, but that boast is unproven. Regardless, the event itself is a relaxing affair (as relaxing as one can get on a flotilla of pirates) with food, drink, and song flowing freely.

: In addition, sailors are often superstitious folk, and they pay their due to Charl and Niima during this time as well, ensuring that old shanties are song and offerings to the oceans made.

:''Piratical Philanthropy:'' While not a holiday, per se, it would be remiss to not note the outpouring of philanthropy that occurs during this time as well. Just before winter solstice, numerous donations mysteriously appear on the docks of ports across Elanthia, all earmarked for orphanages, and it is rumored these come from those who call the flotilla home. However, if pressed, these pirates and privateers of the perilous seas will emphatically deny such largess, even if caught with colorfully wrapped packages at their feet. Dockmasters the world over ensures these offerings make it to the orphanages, pragmatically removing the more dangerous gifts, such as weaponry and grog.

=== Vespertine Phantasmagoria===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' The Vespertine Phantasmagoria
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Winter solstice through Lornon’s Eve
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Faendryl
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' New Ta'Faendryl
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' On the winter solstice of the northern hemisphere there is a strange disturbance on the Dark Moon. It becomes increasingly red over the next ten or eleven days, from the night of utmost darkness, until the blood red of Lornon’s Eve. This is a time when the flows of essence become unusually chaotic, when the veils are weaker, and the undead are most prone to uprising. There is perhaps nowhere more severely disrupted in this way than the cursed lands of Rhoska-Tor, the old places of the Ur-Daemon, which have been haunted with undeath since the Age of Darkness.

:With the increase in mana storms around the wound in reality that was once Maelshyve, New Ta’Faendryl is basked in nocturnal lights from the wastes, not unlike auroras from below rather than the skies on high. From the horizon the city is serenaded with banshee wails and moaning spirits; the blackened and barren plains below, flooded with undeath, born of the dark power of that realm.

:Out of this a holiday emerged from the shadowmancers of New Ta’Faendryl making spectral light shows in the night sky over the city. This is now known as the Vespertine Phantasmagoria. The phantasmagoria is famous for its processions of imaginary spectres in the streets, as well as increasingly elaborate or surreal works of illusion, which dance around the glowing backdrop of the palace at night. High society is enraptured at this time of year with midnight masques, with the most lavish dances held in the manors of the upper classes. These “vespertine balls” are the stage of much intrigue and social climbing, especially among the wealthy and powerful, and serve as the high season for the Faendryl fashion houses.

:The Patriarch hosts grandiose operas in the underground amphitheaters below the surface city. These were retrofitted from caverns that had once been used for subterranean farming, with their artificial lighting of crystals, before more fertile lands on the surface had been seized for the imperium. Orchestra pits for the musicians and illusionists make use of the superior acoustic and lighting qualities of these chambers for producing highly elaborate stagecraft. Operas are performed in multiple languages, varying with the time and place of the setting or the races of the characters, with themes centered on the glories of House Faendryl.

:Most often this is a theatrical depiction of the vanquishing of Despana and the destruction of the black keep of Maelshyve. This is no coincidence as the Armata will spend this week corralling and herding the unsettled undead around the ruins of Maelshyve in the valley below the city. While this horde is not as big as the original, varying in size each year, it is enough to be dangerous.

:When Lornon’s Eve has reached its climax, the Armata makes a show of re-enacting the Battle of Maelshyve for spectators, unleashing hordes of the demonic into the Vale of Darkness. The undead have no instinct to assault the unliving demons, which have no souls, and are prone to obey or follow the more powerful forces of darkness. The demonic have no such inhibitions and tear apart the undead in black flames of carnage and utter violence of destruction. With the veils at their weakest and most unstable, sorcerers “tickle the dragon’s tail” on the unhealing rift of Maelshyve, a kind of dark catalyst that sets off an immense explosion of balefire from the collapse of valencial instabilities. The blasted plains are scorched in a fast moving wall of greenish-black flames, billowing and rising with heat, forming an infernal pillar of devastation where Maelshyve once stood.

:Though this will rip through the fiends and the undead with ungodly force, annihilating most of what haunts that forsaken place, the Armata does not bother banishing what it summoned. Whatever survives is let loose into the wasteland. These demons and their undead entourage will be deadly to the terrorists and dark cults who dwell in Rhoska-Tor, or else will break further north toward the Demonwall. The Basilica no longer goes out of its way to suppress malevolent forces if they are only a threat to humans, whether abominations of the wastes, or dangerous factions such as the Horned Cabal or demon worshippers. This is punishment for the attempted genocide by Empress Selantha II and Sentinel Happersett, and the ill-fated Duke Nyrmont of Kezmon Isle, when the Turamzzyrian Empire invaded in what the humans call the Third Elven War. Thus, the Faendryl make a point of refreshing “the Scourge” for them in this way every year.

=== Senreisit Eve ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Senreisit Eve
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Late Eorgaen
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Winedotters
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' Ta'Illistim
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' Held on the first Feastday after Solstice, Senreisit Eve is a bit of a dodgy annual market held in an underground warehouse that is part of Verkwiel, the burghal gnome enclave of Ta'Illistim. It is one of the rare times outsiders are allowed even a glimpse of the enclave, and that alone makes Senreisit a popular event. The name loosely translates to Lost Gears, though perhaps more accurately it should be called Stolen Gears, since "senra" is Gnomish for stolen.

:At the event, sellers hawk numerous wares, including repurposed clockwork and other tinkered items. This gives the evening its name, as, historically, these were items pilfered from the trash bins of Ta'Illistim. In more modern times, the pilfering is minimized, and instead, the items are obtained in barter or trade with the residents of the city-state. However, it is also a time for burghal gnomes to dig deep within their own families' dusty vaults and storage areas, and it is this that is the biggest draw for the Illistim -- the chance for a true, rare find.

:Not all Winedotters in Illistim appreciate Senreisit; many find the slightly dubious provenance of many of the items to be distasteful and worry it will reflect poorly on all Winedotters. At one point, there was an attempt to "upgrade" the experience, but it seems the elves of Ta'Illistim rather enjoyed having an evening to go below ground and search through somewhat questionable goods in the hopes of an amazing find, so the slightly seedy nature of Senreisit remains.

===Quenayd Pala Gyrrdha'ta===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Quenayd Pala Gyrrdha'ta, roughly translated to Family Gathering Week
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Week leading up to Winter Solstice
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Aelotoi
: '''Where is is celebrated:''' Cysaegir
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' Beginning on the first day of the week leading up to the Winter Solstice, aelotians will gather together with their families and friends to celebrate the upcoming holiday. During this time, stories of the past year, often exaggerated, are shared in prose or song and serve as the inspiration for quilt square patterns. Each square is sewn to display highlights of the tale, and may be simple or incredibly detailed, depending on the skill of the one crafting it. Once complete, the squares may be joined in one of two ways:
:* If the square(s) are meant to be gifted to the most senior of the family, they will be added onto a quilt already completed in the past.
:* A new quilt may be sewn from the squares if it is meant to be gifted to an expectant couple awaiting the birth of their first child in order to begin the story of their family.

: ''On Story Quilts''
:There is an intricate dance of meaning between the various components of the aelotian word for their art form of story quilts -- "ayrsah'leril." To fully grasp it, one must start at the beginning with the word for story itself, "suta'katayr'sah." Literally translated as "imagination's safe haven time," the full term is very rarely used, and instead, aelotoi will use either "katayr" or "ayrsah." Katayr refers to most stories and tales, both oral and written, while ayrsah is reserved for epic ballads and tales and lengthier story cycles.

:Next is "letheril," the term for quilt. This is from "cylleth," or the art of sewing, and "meril," which means forever. It is believed the name derives from the practice of passing down these items from generation to generation, something that is ever easier in Elanthia, but its importance is rooted in their time in Bre'Naere when materials and time were rare and precious.

:Finally, we come to ayrsah'leril -- using the story term most associated with story cycles and a shortening of the word for quilt. The term itself showcases the importance of story quilts in aelotoi life; these are important, generation-spanning works of art.

=== Kah'lewas ===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Kah'lewas
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Throughout Eorgaen
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Iyo, but has been adopted throughout Isle of the Four Winds
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Isle of the Four Winds, Mist Harbor
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' In the Iyo community, individuals practice a tradition known as Kah'lewas (Kah meaning nest or safe place and lewas meaning giving or blessing) or more commonly, "Nest Blessing," where gifts are secretly left in one another’s homes, often by night or when no one is around to see the giver.

: The inspiration for this custom is a small bird that makes it home in the monsoon jungle on the Isle of the Four Winds that has a unique behavior among the fauna of the island. The olysos bird is a small, songbird with pale green and blue feathers along its back and a dark golden breast. Its narrow, slender beak is tipped with a mote of white. This bird drops seeds, fruit, or other food items into neighboring birds' nests, perhaps out of abundance or generosity.

: For the Iyo, Nest Blessing is a way to share good fortune, blessings, and sustenance without the expectation of acknowledgment or direct reciprocation. Each gift is chosen thoughtfully, often something handcrafted, foraged, or uniquely suited to the recipient’s needs or preferences. It might be a woven basket of rare fruit, a beautiful shell, medicinal herbs, or a finely crafted tool. They adorn their homes with small woven or carved bird symbols to show respect and gratitude for the inspiration these birds provide. Leaving these gifts anonymously is considered especially important, as it mirrors the birds’ quiet, unassuming generosity and reinforces humility. This custom not only strengthens community bonds but also fosters a culture of giving for the joy of it, allowing each person to feel supported and valued by their fellow tribe members.

: Over time, many who live on the Isle of the Four Winds have adopted this holiday and all of its customs, and look forward to sharing the celebration with the native tribes.

=== Ta'Ardenai: Hibernal Court Celebrations ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Heralds of the Long Dark, Stormriders of the Creeping Forest, and Serenades of the Snowdrop
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Throughout the winter season
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Ardenai elves
: '''Where is it celebrated:''' Ta'Ardenai
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' At the start of this court's session, seven snow buntings with royal blue ribbons tied to their legs are released. The three ceremonies of the Hibernal Court are Heralds of the Long Dark, Stormriders of the Creeping Forest, and Serenades of the Snowdrop.

: ''For more detail, see the Hibernal Court section of the [[Ta'Ardenai/Seasonal Courts|Ta'Ardenai Seasonal Courts]] document.''

== Lormesta ==

=== Eyra Ayd Bre'Drenlo Dyrhka Kerirdim ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Ayd Bre'Drenlo Dyrhka Kerirdim, roughly translated into "First Day of Driving Away Hated Enemies"
: '''Date of the Holiday/Celebration: First day of Lormesta'''
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Aelotoi
: '''Where is it celebrated:''' Primarily Cysaegir
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' Following [[#Quenayd Pala Gyrrdha'ta|Quenayd Pala Gyrrdha'ta]], the aelotoi begin to prepare for Eyra Ayd Bre'Drenlo Dyrhka Kerirdim, the first hunt of the year in which the aelotoi gather into large parties in order to engage and dispatch kiramon. In most cases, this is the inaugural hunt for those who have reached adolescence the prior year and is considered a step into adulthood. At no point is the youth to engage in their first hunt on their own, as tradition dictates such a step to be celebrated by close relatives and friends. Following the hunt, the aelotoi feast and share their various trophies with those unable to attend.

=== Iveltan: Appeasing the Moss Brethern ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Iveltan
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' 1st of Lormestra
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Ralgrenek dwarves
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' Various
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' Ralgrenek lore states that lost dwarves become the Ivelerek, a mythical clan that exists in the deepest, most unreachable caverns of Elanthia (for more information see [[Erithi/Glassworking Part Three | the Ivelrek section here]]).

: Several Ralgrenek communities and enclaves begin the new year by celebrating Iveltan. A trio of dwarves trek down a little-traveled tunnel, typically one that goes deeper than others and is often considered dangerous. When the tunnel becomes impassable, the trio leaves offerings for the Moss Brethern, including food and tools.

:After the trio returns from their journey, the tunnel is blockaded to keep others away and allow the Lost Ones to accept their offering. The community toasts the trio, speaks remembrances for any friends lost in the caverns during the last year, and then turns to more celebratory measures, such as drinking, eating, and unbridled revelry.

:The Ralgrenek never had a need to build their own large cities, so they often find themselves surrounded by other dwarven cultures. While the lore of the Ivelerek is a Ralgrenek creation, others will join the Iveltan celebration or use it as an excuse for localized parties throughout the settlement.

=== Frozen Dead Elf Days ===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Frozen Dead Elf Days
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Second week of Lormesta
:'''Who celebrates it:''' The town of Connedale
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Barony of Dragach
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' The residents of Connedale in the barony of Dragach have learned to embrace and celebrate the harsh winters of the nearby Dragonspine mountains. Used to informing the friends and family of travelers that their loved one will not be returning to them has given the Connedale populace a somewhat darkly comedic love for life and its celebration. Nowhere is this more apparent than their annual "Frozen Dead Elf Days," held in second week of Lormesta.

:Once upon a time, when a traveler's body was found and not yet identified, it was common practice to place the corpse on ice until such a time as friends or family came looking, or the spring thaw came (at which point, records were made, personal belongings preserved, and the body properly disposed of). During this time, approximately a hundred years ago, an elf was found dead of (apparently) natural causes. With elven relationships not exactly stellar, the town decided it best to maintain the elf on ice for longer than normal. For the next decade, the dead elf was kept in deep cold storage while attempts were made to find family or friends.

:About ten years into the dead elf's storage, a group of drunken townsfolk decided to take the frozen corpse out for some fun. They absconded with the body and went sledding, much to the chagrin of the town elders and much to the delight of virtually everyone else. Travelers, even a handful of hardy elves trekking through that winter, clamored for a chance to have a sketch done with the dead elf and a sled.

:And from there, it just... snowballed. Worried about actually offending the elves or the Arkati or the spirits of the wind (Connedale places great import and superstition upon its harsh winds), the elf itself was finally given a proper burial. The event, however, was not.

:Frozen Dead Elf Days is a week-long event that draws visitors from across Elanthia to partake in absolutely ridiculous activities at outrageous prices that assist the economy of Dragach, especially Connedale, for months to come. While many pilgrimage to Lanark Falls in better weather, during Frozen Dead Elf Days, participants flock to the waters to see who can last the longest naked in its frigid pools.

:There are sledding competitions, snowball wars, dangerous winter hikes, coffin races down the main street, and more. When outdoor activities are impossible, indoor contests abound as well, mostly focused around drinking or brawling.

:Throughout it all, there is the opportunity to get a sketch done with that year's "frozen dead elf." Travelers throughout the year are encouraged to sign an agreement with Connedale to serve as the festival's mascot should the worst come to pass. In return, if "chosen," the deceased star of Frozen Dead Elf Days will be encased in ice and displayed all winter then buried appropriately in spring. Their named heir will receive a compensatory sum as well. Should there be no actual corpse that year (which rarely happens), a resident will typically play dead during set times.

:Like most town-based festivals, good food, good drink, and overall merriment abound, and numerous vendors sell wares and commemorative items.

=== Starveling's Succor===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Starveling's Succor
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' 31st of Lormesta (January 31st)
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Half-elves, primarily.
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' In and around Ta'Nalfein
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' More memorial than celebration, the tradition of Starveling's Succor honors the lost half-elven settlement of Feagh and its citizens, which fell to orc incursions and winter starvation. In the centuries since the tradition's inception, it has come to focus on supporting the underprivileged and feeding the hungry. Modern observances vary, but they commonly include leaving a fresh loaf of bread on one's doorstep or the sharing of food with friends and strangers alike. Those who observe will set an extra place at their table that evening, ready to welcome in whosoever knocks on their door, and give them a full belly and a warm place to sleep. Some prominent individuals in the city and in the outlying villages are known to host feasts on Lormesta 31st, though not all make mention of Feagh or the Starveling's Succor tradition. All through the winter, several pubs in Ta'Nalfein serve a hot cider and rum drink they call Ysandra's Tales or, alternately, Ysandra's Tears.

== Fashanos ==

=== Day of Voaris and Laethe===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' [[Day of Voaris and Laethe]]
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' 14th day of Fashanos
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Global
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Global
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' See detailed page.

=== Day of the Forlorn Poet===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Day of the Forlorn Poet
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Throughout Fashanos
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Elves
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Global
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' The Day of the Forlorn Poet celebrates the written word and opportunities for would-be writers and up-and-coming songsmiths to showcase their talent… or lack thereof, typically their works read or sung aloud by a neutral third party who is encouraged to imbibe spirits by those gathered.

:The story of the Forlorn Poet has various origins, some Vaalorians swearing it was a pair of legionnaires, whilst Loenthrans believe it could be no other than a pair of inebriated artists to encourage such a ridiculous spectacle. The identities of the two parties involved in the story are typically contested over several drinks in celebration of the holiday, and one must caution themselves before launching into such a polarizing debate.

:However, the framework of the story is always the same. A pair of elves, each secretly in love with the other, hires a spirited songsmith to serenade their beloved. Unbeknownst to each elf, they have hired the same songsmith, an individual familiar with confusion and very familiar with an evening of inebriation.

:The elves write heartfelt proclamations of love and friendship, the prose pouring over the folded pages stuffed into the songsmith's cape. The bard stumbles centerstage at the local tavern, strumming his lute as he blurrily procures one of the sheets of parchment, singing a melodic tribute to the wonders of young love… or so he thought.

:In reality, the befuddled bard played a rousing tune upon his frayed broomstick, his voice a cacophony of started cat, several guffaws, and the occasional burp. The elves, upon witnessing the assault on the taverngoers eardrums, decided to take matters into their own hands and professed their feelings once they escaped the songsmith serenading a peahen who had mistakenly wandered into the tavern.

:Each year, friends and kin elect The Forlorn Poet, the designation one of honor and light-hearted ribbing. The Poet is gifted a variety of spirits alongside folded pages neatly penned with the name of the intended recipient. In turn, The Poet must ensure that the words on the page are properly conveyed to the recipient through their preferred method of performance. All in good fun, past Poets have presented their pages through interpretive dance, a mosaic of empty wine bottles, and one dramatic retelling utilizing a Poet's pet maedat as the protagonist.

=== Passions of the Departure===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' The Passions of the Departure; The Wandering (Zhu’shom); Harrowing of the Wasteland
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Middle of Fashanos
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Dhe'nar
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Sharath, Eh'lah
:'''A short description of the holiday:''' The jungles of the Dhe’nar empire border the Southron Wastes, where the climate transitions rapidly from the wetness of the tropics into the unforgiving desert. In the winter following the heavy rains as the winds shift, when the southern seas are cooler and the storms are fewer and weaker, harvesting from the perennial growth is interrupted by droughts. This impacts the Duk’sa in the wilds and the villages beyond the Forest of Ash, more than Sharath itself, where the Khanshael farm mushrooms deep underground.

:In the Rebuilding following the fall of Sharath, this time of fasting became a ritual in homage to the Departure, when the Dhe’nar struggled to survive in the wastelands. This would eventually be twisted upside down in Eh’lah, with extravagant carnivals and gluttonous excesses of feasting, as the southern rainforest hits its growth spurt when clouds are not blocking the sun.

:These festivals are known for their passion plays. There are dramatic imitations of Noi’sho’rah issuing his prophetic execration, condemning Elves who do not follow the Way, and the Ascent when he joined the Arkati. His follower Tahlad Tsi’shalar, which loosely means “the best disciple”, futilely argues against the sundering of the Elves. Tahlad is unable to sway the stock villain, Korthyr Faendryl, who invites boos and hisses from the crowd. In the settlement of Eh’lah it is not unheard of for some visiting Faendryl, such as traders of the Emporion, to watch these plays and enjoy them out of dark humor, as well as having a cultural familiarity and mutual appreciation for vilifying scapegoats.

:It is historically controversial when the ancestors of the Dhe’nar actually departed. The Illistim Chroniclers put it shortly after the discovery of Ithnishmyn by the Houses, when the sylvans were harassed by slavers and religious cults seeking converts. This was around fifty thousand years ago when Yshryth Faendryl was exiling dissidents from the Empire. The Dhe’nar instead traditionally have the Departure closer to sixty thousand years ago, before the Illistim Chronicles existed, with Tahlad as the uncle of a young and brash Korthyr who was leading a movement of separation.

:Regardless, the exodus to what is now called Rhoska-Tor is indisputable, where the Dhe’nar were tested with hardships and hunger in a land of darkness. Out of this evolved a second ritual of the passions, the Zhu’shom, meaning the Wandering. It is a dangerous pilgrimage into the wasteland undertaken by some Dhe’nar when they are seeking to prove themselves in adulthood.

:The vast majority of the Dhe’nar population is in the worker caste, having not been chosen by the temple or the shadowy conscriptors, nor having been successful if offered or volunteered for trials into the warrior caste when they were children. But Noi’sho’rah said the Way is open to all, always, even for those who have lost it. This dissatisfaction or resentment sometimes finds its outlet in Dhe’nar who will harrow the wasteland to prove their strength. They are not trained for such a journey. Though it is sometimes performed by warriors or mages of the higher castes for their own reasons.

:In the Wandering the pilgrims of the Firstborn will travel to Sharath, where the Great Mountain is said to have risen through the tomb of Tahlad. They travel north into the central Southron Wastes, which is very hazardous, even in the winter months. This terrain is highly geologically unstable, being prone to landslides, or even flash flooding especially in the slot canyons.

:In tracing back the path of the Departure, these wanderers must not only survive the deadly indigenous creatures of the central wastes, and those tribes or races who have hostility with the Dhe’nar, they must travel toward the outer reaches of Rhoska-Tor where the land itself is saturated in dark power. It is far more likely that they will encounter creatures of darkness as they move further east, including undead and the demonic, or the twisted and mutated aberrations of that terrible haunted realm.

:There they seek the supposed place where Tahlad died, having never lived to see the promised land. Legend holds the ground burst forth with volcanic rock as Tahlad wept blood beholding his final vision, wherein he foresaw the Fall of Sharath, his followers having failed to heed the divine warning that would end in the Great Mountain. It is a tortured black monolith of basalt fused with shards of veil iron and urglaes, called the “Tears of Tahlad”, which leaves a distinct mark by searing the flesh. They must touch the “Despair of the Gods”, burning it into their skin, while reciting the words of the prophet: ''“Here we return to our beliefs, and we stand firm always.”''

:Though many of these wanderers will not survive, either journeying to the black spire or returning to Sharath, many did not survive the Departure. Those who return with the mark are celebrated for their devotion to the Way. Those who failed to walk with power become part of the story of their people.

=== The Feast of Remembrance and Reconciliation ===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' The Feast of Remembrance and Reconciliation
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' After the start of the new year, typically in early Fashanos because it takes time to get word of the Feast to adventurous wanderers.

:'''Who celebrates it:''' Bandits and adventurers in and around Kraken's Fall

:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Kraken's Fall

:'''A short description of the holiday:''' Each new year as an adventurer or bandit is treacherous, whether on land or across the seas. While the turning of the calendar presents new opportunities for conquest and loot, they also are a glorious and sobering reminder of those whom we have loved and fought, both alongside and across swords. Because one thing all adventurers and bandits share is a hard life of conflict, where friends and alliances are quickly made... and potentially dissolved just as quickly.

:Oral narratives and scraps of parchment around Kraken's Fall tell of a day just after the start of each new year where pirates and bandits put aside quarrels and come together for a day of feasting, friendly fighting, stories, song, and remembrance. This is a day for bragging about the great hauls taken in during the previous year, for memorializing those lost in pursuit of treasure, for tall tales and the magnification of nascent legends, and of all manner of boasting, feasting, drinking, and camaraderie. Because, while tomorrow is uncertain, this day and night are about life.

:Over the years, versions of this feast have been recorded: long pirate tables replete with stolen foods; demure adventurers breaking bread with strident bandits, sharing their greatest boasts from the previous year; a chance for enemies to come together and, over many bottles of rum, ponder why exactly they are fighting; and, a communal toast for a prosperous year that they may boast of in feasts to come.

== Charlatos ==

=== Peahen's Picnic ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Peahen's Picnic
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Weekends of the month of Charlatos
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Elves, Enjoyers of Picnicking
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' Gardens and Lawns
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' The arrival of the spring season is heralded by the blooming of flora, the melting of snow… and the screaming of peahens. In a rumored attempt to appease the screeching of the beloved peafowl, several picnickers took it upon themselves to create a "decoy" picnic spread, including several fluffy cushions and a small string quartet, successfully luring the birds away from their own celebrations.

: Thus began the celebration of the Peahen's Picnic. Throughout the month of Charlatos, elves and their guests spend their afternoons enjoying the newly bloomed gardens and lawns across the Elven Nations, playing games upon the grass and sharing in elaborate picnics. Always nearby is an accompanying picnic for feathered fellows, furry animals, and scaled companions, a celebration (or bribe) for creatures we call friends.

=== Wrath of the Drake ===
:'''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Wrath of the Drake
:'''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Second Weekend of Charlatos
:'''Who celebrates it:''' Ornathians
:'''Where is it celebrated:''' Sleeping Drake Harbor

: Held annually on the last full weekend of Charlatos in Sleeping Drake Harbor, Wrath of the Drake honors Fash'lo'nae, the Grandfather of Knowledge, and the fire, both literal and intellectual, that he gifted to mortals, despite the objections of the Great Drakes and other Arkati. The heart of the festival is a torch race up the travertine cliffs to one side of the Spine of Koar, where competitors must overcome Nine Hazards to bring fire to the edge of the Agora Promenade.

: The day begins with the arrival of contestants and spectators from across the island. Outlying farmsteads send representatives, and the harbor fills with revelers as the morning is spent in debate and storytelling, where scholars, tricksters, and firebrands share tales of forbidden wisdom, lost knowledge, and the ever-present pursuit of truth. Fire-eaters, flame dancers, and masked performers take to the streets, ensuring no mind remains unstirred and no heart untested.

: At the third hour past midday, competitors gather at the base of the Spine of Koar, each carrying a lit torch. The goal: deliver fire to the peak, where a great wrought-iron brazier of firewood awaits ignition. The path is fraught with Nine Hazards, each a test of wit, agility, or sheer determination.

: The Hazards are:
# The Assassin's Ambush – Several acrobats costumed as Onar attempt to snatch competitors' torches.
# Harbingers of Lumnis – Stilt-walking parrots squawk riddles, blocking passage until answered.
# The Drake's Tail – A sweeping rope obstacle mimicking a drake's thrashing tail.
# Rolling Barrels – Large barrels tumble down the steps, forcing nimble footwork.
# Shifting Pennants – Billowing flags and banners obscure the path, a test of instinct and memory.
# Sheeted Spectres – Large white sheets mask the way, disorienting runners and representing the fog that can cloud a mind.
# Echoing Wisdom – Competitors must repeat whispered phrases, but tricksters offer false words to deceive them.
# The Scholar's Leap – A gap in the stairs requires a well-timed leap or risk being delayed by mischievous scholars.
# The Great Drake's Maw – A massive Koar costume blocks the final stretch, opening only for those who offer fire or knowledge.

: The first competitor to reach the summit and ignite the brazier is declared the victor, though no prize beyond prestige is given.

: As night falls, the fire is carried back down, and the festival concludes with a grand bonfire, where the people of Ornath drink, debate, and revel beneath the firelit sky, celebrating the gifts of Fash'lo'nae and the eternal pursuit of knowledge.

: While originally a single-day event, Wrath of the Drake has expanded in recent years into a three-day festival, incorporating preliminary games, performances, and additional challenges inspired by the Nine Hazards.

=== The Bluebell Battle ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' The Bluebell Battle (less commonly, Skirmish of the Lilacs)
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' Late Charlatos, just before the spring equinox
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Humans
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' Selanthia
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' The Viscountess Amelyrrelia Winterkiss-Tittleberry and the Grand Lady Vetaxette Sootleby made history in 5003 over what has become known as The Bluebell Battle. At the end of the winter season, the nobility that often wintered in luxurious properties outside Tamzyrr were known to throw elaborate balls and parties to celebrate the impending spring. Unfortunately for the women in question (and fortunately for future historians and everyone else), the season of 5003 took a somewhat violent turn.

:The women, most bosomy of friends until the historic event, jointly planned ''the'' event of the season, a three-day artistic extravaganza capped by an elaborate ball with Tamzyrr's finest musicians vying for the honor to play their latest compositions as anyone who was ''anyone'' would be in attendance and patronages would be flowing.

:The week before the event, however, the two women argued most foully over the Flower Parade. Once alike in thoughts and deeds, Amelyrrelia and Vetaxette fought bitterly over the arrangement of flowers. It came down, historians say, to bluebells versus hothouse-grown lilacs. The Viscountess favored the naturally blossoming bluebells, gathered in abundance from her many gardens, while Grand Lady Vetaxette insisted on using her greenhouse's overflowing lilac blossoms.

:So vexed and inflexible were these women, that it came to rapiers at teatime. Finding the tight corsets and binding fabrics of their gowns a hinderance, both women ripped them off and, entirely topless, proceeded to sword fight by the Winterkiss-Tittleberry lily pond and in front of dozens of women serving on a planning committee that had heretofore been remarkably respectable and somewhat boring.

:Grand Lady Vetaxette won the duel with a slash to Viscountess Amelyrrelia's arm, settling the matter on lilacs. However, in a grand gesture, she stated the bluebells, daisies, and buttercups Amelyrrelia so wanted would be included. No one quite knew why such a compromise could not have been reached beforehand, but it certainly served to increase the popularity of a somewhat waning event.

:For the next several years, the two women were asked to recreate their duel, and they obliged until well in their 80s. By then, the tradition was set, and now, every year, the Bluebell Battle is waged.

:Noble women vie for the honor to be chosen to duel in modern days, with any confirmed relation to either of the original combatants being given precedent. The Winterkiss-Tittleberry lily pond still exists, and the duel is recreated, followed by a flower parade and a grand ball.

:So entertaining and long-reaching was the tale, that many such celebrations crop up around Selanthia (and sometimes even in neighboring areas of the Empire). It may just be a topless duel in late March in one town, but in another, it is a topless duel atop a float as a parade rolls down cobblestone streets.

:Tradition states that artistic patronages follow these events, and the entire affair is now a joyous celebration of art, music, and gardening (and for many women, an excuse to learn swordplay on the slight chance they are chosen to duel).

=== Birthday of Ghorsa Borthuum ===
: '''Name of Holiday/Celebration:''' Birthday of Ghorsa Borthuum
: '''Date of Holiday/Celebration:''' 27th of Charlatos
: '''Who celebrates it:''' Teras Isle
: '''Where it is celebrated:''' Kharam-Dzu
: '''A short description of the holiday:''' The birthday of Ghorsa Borthuum has been celebrated since the founding of Teras Isle, when the search for the lost Kezmonian lands blew his flying balloon ship off course. As the founder of the Borthuum Clan, Borthuum Mining Company, and attributed with the discovery of glaes, Ghorsa's legacy hallmarks and testifies to the strength of dwarven ambition and undaunted courage.

:Dwarves of the Borthuum Clan often take a tour of the Stormbrow Gallery on this day and honor their founder with a toast during their meals. Most families will have one or more recount Ghorsa's adventures as they recall it being told to them, passed on from generation to generation. These recounted tales have remained consistent among the dwarves on Teras Isle, and any discrepancies are quickly remedied to ensure his story remains true for future tellings.

:Children of the Borthuum families are gifted small toys, crafted into symbolic representations of the journey that led to the discovery of Teras Isle.

Glassworking

2026-03-17T17:22:24Z

GS4-XYNWEN: /* Additional Information */

{{official-document|Title='''Artisanal Glasses of Elanthia'''}}

''Release Notes: Created by GM Xynwen and released on May 5, 2022''<br>

== Artisanal Glasses of Elanthia==
''From the desk of Isienaka, Chief Scholar of Atan Irith'' <br>

Below is an excerpt from a budding scholar's dissertation on glasswork I felt may be of interest to my colleagues across the sea.

During my travels, I've come across several artisanal glassworking methods, and I wished to share this excerpt on some of the more unusual practices, for any as fascinated as I by the unique ways art takes form across our races and cultures.

Glass can oft be taken for granted now. It seems simple enough -- melted sand crafted into transparency as a window for our lives. Beyond simple utility, however, there is craft and the people who create art where once only function stood. From a secretive guild in Ta'Loenthra to skilled Winedotters, from the Yachan Dai to the sea herself, we find numerous examples of glass artistry. Here are but a few examples for your reading pleasure.

=== From Chapter 6: Culturally or Regionally Significant Techniques and Styles ===
From ''"Glassworking and Glassblowing: A Comprehensive Examination of Elanthian Glass Techniques Across the Ages"'' by Isharaj Calikan, Scholar Apprentice, Order of the Sky and Cloud<ref>The [[Sky and Cloud | ''Order of the Sky and Cloud'']] is an academic sect originating out of Eloth-Ra. Its members tend to focus on studies outside Atan Irith and are encouraged to travel widely before submitting any dissertations.</ref>

==== Arathiel ====
''Arathiel'', also known as ''firefly glass'', is a glass technique originating with master glassmakers in Ta'Loenthra. It is a closely held secret of an ancient glassworkers' guild known as the ''Court of Amethyst Fire'', and it is highly coveted by artisans of all sorts. Many have attempted to replicate the style, but none have succeeded; arathiel remains firmly within the purview of its guild, and they release in quantities of their own choosing in a timeframe of their own making.

Flame-like iridescence sparks inside each arathiel piece, typically a shade darker than the object's glass. Thus, a lavender arathiel bead may have a violet flame at its depths, or a pink trinket with a fuchsia flame, for example. When working in untinted glass, the natural spark is a bright green luminescence reminiscent of the firefly that gives arathiel its nickname. Each artisan capable of producing arathiel is considered deeply skilled, but a true arathiel master can work the inner flame into any hue they desire regardless of the rest of the object's color.

Some thickness in glass is requisite when crafting arathiel, so it will not be found in sheets or thin works, but rather in beads, charms, pendants, and trinkets for display. The nature of its creation necessitates smaller objects; anything larger than an elven child's hand will not hold the flame and becomes nothing more than pretty craftwork any skilled glassworker could create.

''A Note on the Court of Amethyst Fire''
The Court is a secretive and elite guild dating back several thousand years. Membership is proffered by its leader, the Amethyst Flame, after approval by the Court's Firefly Council. Children showing specific skillsets may be recruited and trained from a young age (especially skilled children of current members), but most commonly, membership comes from masters of other glassworking guilds who are recruited away when the Court seeks them out.

While membership in the Court is not a secret, the names of the Amethyst Flame and the Firefly Council are. This precludes sycophants from attempting to ingratiate themselves with the powers of the Court.

Upon initiation, each guild member receives a small brand of a firefly over an inked amethyst flame on their inner left wrist. It is said that special alchemy goes into the flame's ink, allowing imitations to be caught and dealt with. In the rare case someone is ejected from the guild, an "x" is branded over their guild mark, so all other guilds know they have been found lacking. It is whispered, however, that very few live to actually be removed, as guild secrets must be kept at all costs.

==== Winedotter Specialties ====
Artisans of the Winedotter bloodline from Ta'Loenthra have developed a few of their own specialty glasses to great acclaim, and it is whispered that perhaps the elven works owe a great deal to Winedotter ingenuity.

===== ''Aragles''s =====
''Aragless'' started out as an attempt to break the secret recipe for arathiel. The attempts were unsuccessful, but the end result equally beautiful. Made using alchemy, a touch of wizardry, and ancient glass techniques lost to the elves but retained and improved by Winedotters, aragless glimmers if there is even a hint of ambient light. The glass itself can be a variety of shades, but the glimmering effect is either gold, silver, or copper, depending on the materials used in creation.

It is often used in lanterns or lamps -- a single flame inside an aragless lantern gets amplified by a hundredfold. Trinkets made of aragless are also coveted and often stored in ornate, velvet-lined clockwork boxes when not displayed. Given the special nature of aragless, individual items made from it are smaller in scale. Anything larger than a small pane of lantern glass or a palm-sized trinket (as gnomes measure palms), and the aragless begins to lose its glimmering.

===== ''Vergless'' =====
Requiring masterful understanding of knitting, clockwork machinery, and glasswork, a ''vergless'' artisan creates stunning artwork of knitted glass. Intricate geared mechanisms are outfitted with heatproof needles, while copper vats hold molten glass. The artist coordinates the weaving of these molten strands with the clockwork needles into the desired piece of art. The resulting product has clearly identifiable knitted stitches and patterns. The most skilled workers of vergless craft intricate figurines or hangings, the glass stitching still readily apparent. Hand-worked vergless without the use of machinery is possible, but typically limited to small pieces that resemble actual knitted works, such as a small scarf or a pair of mittens.

Working in vergless requires significant advanced planning, with detailed drawings and schematics for the machines, glasses, and any dyes. The vergless artisan must work tirelessly until the piece is completed, or else plan on making several small vergless components and melding them together. The latter is frowned upon in most vergless circles, but it is not unheard of. It is always apparent where the melding occurs, and greater value is placed on unmelded pieces.

The largest work of vergless is believed to be "The Clockwork Wall" on display in a museum in Ta'Nalfein<ref>The location of "The Clockwork Wall" in Ta'Nalfein is a source of great consternation amongst Loenthran museum officials, but it was personally donated by the artist, and she refuses to display it in Ta'Loenthra for unknown reasons.</ref>. Done entirely in painstakingly small needles to create tiny stitches, "The Clockwork Wall" depicts the vergless creation process, complete with artist, machine and needles, and in-process product. It spans an entire wall and appears to be one unbroken project, as no fusing of pieces together is evident. The artist, Gretchelle Vyindote, has only this to say about it: "This piece is 'process creates art creates process yielding art,' as is apparent to anyone looking at it."

==== Seaglass ====
Seaglass (or sea glass) typically refers to the broken bits of glass that wash up on the beach after being polished and naturally frosted by the waves of the ocean. It comes in all colors, and most skilled artisans will work with what the sea has left them rather than trying to force it to their own needs.

For example, in Atan Irith, an ''irijveil'' is a seaglass anklet worn by sailors and lovers of the sea. Woven from an intricate blend of thin leather or suede strips, sometimes interspersed with thin, pliable metals, the irijveil is dotted with seaglass beads and charms and is said to impart luck to its wearer.

A Winedotter glassworker from a long line of skilled artisans possesses an ancient parchment describing an Ashrim elf wearing "the traditional seaglass ring of protection of his people." From the text of the parchment, one can glean the ring itself was carved with Ashrim runes and inset with polished seaglass. The phrase "his people" is ambiguous but more than likely references a clan, guild, or sailing cohort -- popular enough to be well-known at the time but not representative of Ashrim culture as a whole.

Along the margins of the parchment, someone other than the author has written, "''geldithe''?" The parchment's current owner believes that this refers to the name of that type of ring. In Elven, "geld" is often used to reference stone of some sort (see also the geldarald), and "-ithe" has strong similarities to parts of ancient elven terms for large bodies of water. Further research found one reference to a geldithe worn for luck by an Ashrim sailor; this was in an old journal in a private collection in Ta'Ardenai. Both texts appear to be contemporaneous with Ashrim times; as such, after review, it is felt that a geldithe is a seaglass-inset ring worn by some Ashrim for luck and/or protection.

==== Skyglass ====
Erithi glassworkers use similar techniques as found across Elanthia, but there are distinct styles, of course, and in the Yachan Dai, a unique specialty, ''skyglass'', was developed. Its erithi term is ''va'eloth,'' but oddly enough, many erithi prefer the Common translation of skyglass to the erithi. At its simplest explanation, skyglass is specially treated glass inlaid with slivers of jadewood to create a window with intricate designs.

To understand skyglass, one must first understand its components.

''Jadewood'' <br>
In the mountains of Atan Irith grows a type of modwir known as jadewood, named for the color of its wood. The heartwood of a jadewood modwir is a dark jade green with a silvery cast to its grain, and it is a common material amongst the erithi for woodworking and adornments. It also possesses inherent properties that, when combined with the right bit of alchemy, strengthen the finished skyglass windows.

''Jadewood Oil'' <br>
When pressed, the wood produces a fragrant oil with several uses, including incense, bath oils, and perfumes, as well as for woodworking and in the making of skyglass.

Jadewood oil used for personal products, such as incense, candles, and bath oils, has a fresh, evergreen scent, somewhat akin to cedar twisted with bergamot. Alchemically treated jadewood oil is used for woodworking and skyglass, its naturally green tint made clear and its scent gone.

For woodworking, it adds a lustrous sheen to the wood and provides a protective barrier to the finished product. When mixed with molten glass, it serves to strengthen the finished product, rendering the finished glass unnaturally strong and resistant to breakage.

''Creating Skyglass'' <br>
The basic premise behind skyglass is to create a pane of glass imbued with jadewood oil, and while it is still molten, work in bits of polished jadewood to create an intricate design. The finished pane is then optimally placed for sunlight to strike it and create a shadow of the design on a floor or wall of the building. The projected design is considered part of the artistic process, and great care is taken in the positioning of the projection and its surroundings; designs on walls and ceilings are created to enhance the skyglass shadow.

''Skyglass Usage'' <br>
Many public buildings in the cities of Atan Irith exhibit a skyglass window or two. Perhaps the most famous is found in Eloth-Ra at the library. When the sun hits the window set high in the library’s atrium, the entire far wall is covered in shadow bookcases filled with books, some even bearing readable titles. Another building holds a skyglass recreation of the city outlined against the mountains, while a third is known for its detailed recreation of a lotus-filled lake.

If infamous is more one's style, then no better example can be found than the one at a notorious inn of pleasures in Nathal-Ra. With a domed glass ceiling over the foyer, the inn features several skyglass panes casting twining figures upon the tiled floor. The floor is arranged so that the shadows hit white marble and are each surrounded by crimson marble in a decadent display of shadow and color. As the light moves, so too do the figures.

And finally, for sheer intricacy, the summer home of a master skyglass artisan has six skyglass panels arranged to hit the sun at different times to create a cascade of knotwork shadows framing pictures hung about the walls. As the sun changes, the knotwork shadows appear to flow from one picture to the next.

''Skyglass in Miniature'' <br>
Recently, artisans have taken to recreating famous skyglass window designs in smaller pendant forms to be used in necklaces, earrings, and other adornments. While this trend lacks the artistic shadow component of traditional skyglass windows, it has been embraced as an evolution of the art form, and many erithi who travel enjoy taking a piece of home with them in the form of skyglass jewelry.

{{Otheruses4|the Pet Rock item script released in 2026|the older "pet rock" from the Premium Festival|Toy geode}}
'''Pet Rocks''' are a tiered fluff pet toy that debuted as part of the February 2026 [[Duskruin]] run.

Not to be confused with [[toy geode]]s, the Pet Rocks are built upon the same system that brings you [[Teadragon pet|teadragons]] and a host of other pets. They were created by GM Xynwen.

The first time you bind/summon a pet rock, you will be awarded a unique post-name title: Sentinel of the Skirmishing Stone.

=== Altering FAQ ===
Adding in info from questions asked in discord, etc.

* At its heart, this is a pet rock. The loresong gives some wiggle room to allow for why it's different rocks and gems, but that doesn't mean every single thing will work.
* If something drops from the gem system, will it work?
** Not always. There are a lot of things that aren't gems, per se, in that system
* It's in a gem document, is it okay?
** Usually, as long as it is a rock-like gem (so not everything)
* What sorts of gems for the noun of the pet rock?
** Something easily discernible as a gem (ruby, sapphire, emerald, agate) would make sense as the noun. A gem with an odd noun (shard, eye, cabochon, chunk) would not work. The gem itself might work, but it's not going to use the noun that you get when the system drops one of those. So if you found "a dark blue amber shard" in the system and thought 'oooh cool gem to use', your pet rock wouldn't be "a dark blue amber shard" but it could be "a dark blue amber pebble".
* '''Disallowed List'''
** Petrified, glass, bone, coral, shell items
** Non-rock-like nouns (so things like shard, eye, cabochon, chunk, etc.) - see previous question also

You forage briefly and manage to find a handful of plump black mulberries!

Lady Iliyaas just arrived.

You blink at Iliyaas.

You see Lady Iliyaas.

She appears to be a Sylvankind.
She is tall. She appears to be young. She has vacant dark fawn eyes and ghostly white skin. She has long straight, sleek obsidian-hued hair. She has a refined face, a round nose and angular cheekbones. A web of inky black veins stretches along her brow and borders her eyes.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a citrine-cored faceted emerald pendant, a sigil-etched silvery white longcloak, some flowing white lotus silk robes, some silvered vine armbands, and a pair of engraved black urglaes thumb rings.

Iliyaas blinks at you.

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "Hello there."

Iliyaas says, "Hello Yardie."

Iliyaas stands in front of a circular pool.

Iliyaas kneels down.

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "I'm not used to seeing visitors, but I suppose it's nice to see them around."

You put a handful of plump black mulberries in your buffed leather pack.

You put a handful of plump black mulberries in your buffed leather pack.

You remove a burnished bronze still from in your buffed leather pack.

You carefully place your bronze still on the ground alongside you.

Iliyaas asks, "You do not have friends?"

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "Not too many, but I do, yes."

Iliyaas reaches into the depths of her longcloak, pinches something between her fingers, and sprinkles it into the circular pool. Several colorful fish swim quickly to the edge, nibbling at the food.

Iliyaas nods.

Iliyaas says, "I have heard that, in life, there is value in the quality, not the quantity."

Speaking to Iliyaas, you agree, "So true. I have been...blessed to have them in my life. They accept me despite my....odd nature."

Iliyaas says, "Those that we surround ourselves with are very important."

You nod at Iliyaas.

Iliyaas asks, "You are odd?"

Iliyaas asks, "In which way?"

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "For a Faendryl, many would say yes. Well, I try to look at the brighter side of matters when it comes to individuals."

Iliyaas says, "This..."

Iliyaas ponders.

Iliyaas asks, "Is optimism the word?"

You nod at Iliyaas.

Iliyaas nods.

Iliyaas asks, "This optimism defines you as odd?"

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "I try to be. Nervous. Fearful. But optimism.. Oh, to some, sure. But the first two do so."

Iliyaas says, "There is no weakness is nervousness or fear. Only if you allow them to immobilize you."

Iliyaas says, "Nervousness simply means something is important to you."

Iliyaas says, "I would say that defines you as mortal. Not odd."

Iliyaas says, "It is the creatures that have no fear that we should concern ourselves with."

Iliyaas says, "In all worlds."

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "You seem to understand me and my nervous nature better than most. I have to ask...have we met before? You knew what I was called."

Iliyaas says, "We have not."

You blink at Iliyaas.

Iliyaas says, "You may call me Iliyaas."

Speaking nervously to Iliyaas, you repeat, "Iliyass."

Iliyaas says, "No."

Iliyaas says, "Iliyaas."

You blink at Iliyaas.

Speaking to Iliyaas, you enunciate, "Iliyass."

Iliyaas shakes her head.

Iliyaas asks, "Do you know me?"

You blink at Iliyaas.

You look at Iliyaas and shake your head.

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "I am....well, I courted a Sylvan once, and I have a few friends, but....I don't know many."

Your cheeks flush with a deep shade of red.

You fidget.

Iliyaas nods.

Iliyaas says, "That is nice to hear and feel."

You grin at Iliyaas.

Iliyaas says, "Some have been afraid of me."

Iliyaas says, "Since my arrival."

Speaking to Iliyaas, you ask, "Why is that?"

Iliyaas says, "Elidal said they might."

You blink at Iliyaas.

Iliyaas says, "Because you are not alone in your oddness, Yardie. Many are nervous. Many are afraid."

Speaking to Iliyaas, you agree, "It is....well it is a difficult time, yes. We fear what we don't understand. And mentioning Elidal, yes, many of us have fears."

Iliyaas says, "He is a good man."

Iliyaas asks, "But he is blank. Do you understand what I mean?"

Speaking to Iliyaas, you guess, "Inexperienced?"

Iliyaas nods.

Iliyaas says, "He is like metal, pulled from the earth. Smooth in areas, jagged in others."

Iliyaas says, "But shapeless."

Iliyaas says, "Fire shall forge metal into many, many things."

Iliyaas asks, "The long shape of a blade?"

Iliyaas asks, "The sturdy bulwark of a shield?"

Iliyaas asks, "Or the heavy burden of chains?"

You nod understandingly at Iliyaas.

Iliyaas says, "It is important that Elidal sees the value in quality over quantity as well."

Iliyaas says, "It is important that he is shaped to be a better human than some."

Iliyaas says, "Than most."

Iliyaas asks, "Do you agree?"

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "I got that impression when he approached the Thorns. Rough in his position, but willing to listen. Willing to learn."

Iliyaas nods.

Speaking to Iliyaas, you muse, "Maybe we all need to be better."

Iliyaas says, "Of course."

Iliyaas asks, "Do you call this place home?"

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "It is like home here, in the garden and in the Spire. I live her from time to time."

Speaking to Iliyaas, you correct, "Live, rather."

Iliyaas says, "I would like to meet with those who call this place home."

Speaking to Iliyaas, you ask, "The Spire?"

Iliyaas nods.

Iliyaas says, "Not this moment."

Iliyaas says, "Soon."

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "I can...I can ask around for the Faend...."

Iliyaas stands up.

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "I will arrange for it."

Iliyaas nods.

Iliyaas says, "It has been nice meeting you, Yardie."

You bow to Iliyaas.

Speaking to Iliyaas, you say, "The honor is mine, Iliyass."

Iliyaas says, "Closer."

You amusedly mutter, "Though I will need to learn how to pronounce your name."

Iliyaas nods.

Lady Iliyaas just went through a winding pathway.

Deer mount

2026-03-04T20:29:37Z

GS4-XYNWEN:

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
'''Deer''' mounts, which are classified as '''cervidae''' type mounts, were released during the 2021 run of [[Rumor Woods]] as the third mount available for the [[Mount System|mount system]]. Deer are summoned by straps, which are a [[summoning item]] that stores their information but is considered a separate item. There are three tiers of deer mounts: [[#Common|common]], [[#Uncommon|uncommon]], and [[#Rare|rare]]. Some uncommon deer nouns have restrictions on which races can ride them as a mount, which is drawn from [[A Tale of Companionship]]. All deer mounts share a similar set up with their appearance. As with other mounts, deer can be given a name visible to the owner with a [[Potion of Naming]], available at [[Evermore Hollow]]. Common deer can be unlocked to the uncommon tier via [[Uncommon Mount Foods]], expanding their verb messaging, ambient message, and available feature options. The [[View From a Stag saddle]] is a highly scripted saddle that can be used with a deer mount.
{{TOC limit|2}}
==Appearance==
<pre{{log2}}>
Standing approximately ''34 inches high'' at the top of the shoulder, the deer has a ''slender face'' and ''tapered ears''. Her ''compact body'' is covered in a ''thin'', ''light brown coat'', and she has a ''short'', ''beige tail''. She has ''muscular legs'' that culminate in ''cloven hooves'', and a ''small pair of spike antlers'' sits upon her head.

Uncommon mounts are the second most expensive option when considering purchase. They have more options available for noun choices, as well as a wider array of feature alterations at the [[RWShop:Ostler's Den|Ostler]]. Their appearance is similar to the common tier. Some uncommon deer nouns have restrictions on which races can ride them as a mount, which is drawn from [[A Tale of Companionship]].

;Available Nouns
* antelope - [[Burghal gnome]], [[Forest gnome]], and [[Halfling]] only
* caribou
* elk
* gazelle - [[Sylvankind]] only
* muntjac - [[Dwarf]] only
* moose - [[Giantman]] only
* reindeer

Common deer can be unlocked to the uncommon tier via [[Uncommon Mount Foods]], expanding their verb messaging, ambient message, and available feature options.

{{itemtier 
|tier=Rare 
|itemsummary= 
Rare mounts are the highest tier available for purchase and offer additional verbs unavailable at common or uncommon tiers. Rare deer mounts have unique features for their appearance, which '''cannot''' be changed at the Ostler as the additional verbs are specialized to the design. They are also only available during their initial run, and are normally discontinued in concurrent runs. For 2021, the rare deer mounts were '''hart''' and '''hind'''. Both the hart and the hind were also sold at the 5th anniversary of Rumor Woods in 2023.

;Male - a regal pristine white hart
<pre{{log2}}>Majestic and regal, the hart stands 60 inches at the shoulder and has a sleek body that is covered in a pristine white coat of downy soft, short hair. Wide, crystalline green eyes dominate his elegant face, which is flanked by pointed, upright ears and crowned by an impressive, golden rack of branching antlers. His powerful frame culminates in golden, cloven hooves and a longish tail that is just a shade creamier in hue than his coat.</pre>

===Special Ability===
As with all rare mounts, the hart and hind have special abilities unique to them. Associated with one of their random ambient messages, a hart or hind may scrape their antlers on nearby trees until a bit of bark is peeled off, dropping to the ground. The bark is compatible with systems that utilize tree bark, such as [[Imbue (614)]]. The type of tree bark scraped off is dependent on the room's [[climate]] and [[terrain]] settings.
<pre{{log2}}>Glancing around her, a regal pristine white hind makes her way over to a nearby beech tree tree and lowers her head, raking an impressive, golden rack of branching antlers across the bark, which fragments as it falls free from the trunk. A single piece of ''beech tree bark'' remains largely intact, however.</pre>

Herblore Tome of Elanthia

2026-03-04T20:28:35Z

GS4-XYNWEN:

<table><tr valign="top"><td>
An '''herblore tome''' is a scripted book used to determine the herbs in the rooms in a select region. These tomes are old items, the last of which were auctioned at the [[Solstice Dreams]] event in 2005. The tomes were updated in 2023 to account for the functionality of the original tomes being made obsolete by the introduction of {{boldmono|[[FORAGE]] SENSE}}.
{{TOC limit|2}}

==Analyze==
<pre{{log2}}>
You analyze your blue tome and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

Originally for the 5100 auction, a tattered tome is an Herblore Tome of Elanthia.
This is the Herblore Tome for Wehnimer's Landing, the only one of its kind. You could:
LOOK: - When open, this tells you what page it is open to; when closed, it tells you what town it's made for.
READ: - Provides information on foraged items, including appropriate terrains and climates; any official flora documentation; and any Flora Language documentation if applicable.
TURN: - Locate a particular forageable found in the tome's realm.
TURN {my tome} TO [{keyword} | INDEX | PICTURE]
GAZE: - Survey the current area looking for the selected forageable.
PONDER: - Check the immediate area looking for the selected forageable.
PROD: - Toggle whether the Real Room ID displays in PONDER (Off)
FLUFF: - You could OPEN, CLOSE, TOUCH, CLEAN, CLENCH, FLIP, NOD, and TICKLE the tome.
USE: - When held and open, the tome will:
- Be referenced in movement messaging if your movement style is normal (you have a movement style set and will not see the messaging).
- Alert you when you enter a room that satisfied an active Adventurer's Guild foraging bounty.
- Alert you when you enter a room that a forageable selected via TURN grows in.
- Negate the held-item foraging penalty and provide a 25% foraging bonus.

Alterations of the long and/or show description are fine, but it must remain some type of intact book with pages. The realm cannot be changed.

==Additional Information==
===2023 Updates===
In 2023, Herblore Tomes were updated. The pictorial index is still available, showing all [[foraged item]]s that grow in one room. The 50 hard-coded pages have been replaced with a dynamic search of all foraged items available in the tome's realm. When each entry is read, it will list the [[climate]] and [[terrain]] appropriate for the foraged item, any entry from the [[Elanthian Flora Guide]], and any entry from [[Speech Unspoken: The Language of Flowers]].

{{boldmono|[[GAZE]]}} will show whether the selected forageable is present in the particular room and if it is foraged out. {{boldmono|[[PONDER]]}} will show where in the immediate area (maybe the same {{boldmono|[[LOCATION]]}}, maybe not, depending on how the area was built) the forageable grows. Moving while holding the tome with a forageable selected will alert you when you enter a room that the forageable grows in. If you have an active foraging bounty task in the tome's realm, when you hold the tome it will alert you without you needing to select it first. The movement messaging is overridden if you have a movement style selected. All benefits apply in the tome's realm only.

When holding the tome while foraging, the negative bonus stemming from having only one hand free is removed, and a +25 bonus is granted.

===Instructions===
{{boldmono|[[TURN]]}} your tome {{boldmono|TO}} a keyword, {{boldmono|INDEX}}, or {{boldmono|PICTURES}}. The keyword is the name of any foraged item. If the foraged item is found within the realm covered by your tome, you will either receive a list of partial matches or turn to the appropriate page.

<pre{{log2}}>
>turn my tome to tom
You flip through the pages of your kraken-motif tome, looking for "tomato" growing in Wehnimer's Landing, and find entries for a green tomato, a striped tomato, a red tomato, a yellow tomato, and an orange tomato.
>turn my tome to red tom
You flip through the pages of your kraken-motif tome, looking for "red tomato" growing in Wehnimer's Landing, and find the page for a red tomato. You can now READ about it, GAZE around to see if it is found here, or PONDER if it could be found nearby.
>READ
You refer to the section of your kraken-motif tome on a red tomato. This vegetable can grow in temperate climates with cultivated environment terrains. It only grows outside.

A widely cultivated plant having edible, fleshy, and usually red fruit. Comes in several varieties and sizes from cherry to larger than a giantkin's hand. Rare versions produce yellow, orange, green, blackish, and striped fruits. Delicious fresh and raw, especially when sliced and slightly salted. Used in cooking to create sauces. Paste made from the fruit can also serve as a thickener.
>GAZE
As you gaze around looking for a red tomato, you can find no hint of what you are looking for. You consult your kraken-motif tome and note that it could not be found in this plain dirt environment terrain.

flip: - When it's closed, this is fluff messaging; when opened, it allows the holder to FLIP PAGE or FLIP PAGE # to go directly to that page. The books have pages numbered 1 - 50, 1 being a clickable index, and 50 being the picture "tell all" page..
glance: - If opened, it tells the name of the current page.
clean: - Fluff messaging.
clench: - Fluff messaging.
nod: - Fluff messaging.
tap: - Fluff messaging.

Each page contains information about the specific herb. Below is [[acantha leaf]] as an example:
<pre{{log2}}>
Acantha is one of several herbs in a group which will heal mild concussion damage when eaten (the leaves are the most beneficial). It can be found in a wide range of climates, from near-desert conditions to moist ocean beaches.
</pre>

Page 50 is a pictorial index. When used in a room with items that can be foraged, the pictorial index will appear as below:
<pre{{log2}}>
This page is devoid of words, save for the small caption under each of the countless images of plants, roots, and other flora.

Glancing at the page full of pictures of herbs, the calamia fruit, haphip root, trollear mushroom, soft white mushroom, withered black mushroom, daggerstalk mushroom, flathead mushroom, genkew mushroom, blue trafel mushroom, wild gooseberry, water chestnut, stalk of cattail, small wild rose, lady slipper blossom, wood violet, pepperthorn root, wavepetal blossom, bolmara lichen, talneo root, wingstem root, bur-clover root, pink peppercorn, black peppercorn, vanilla bean, cumin seeds, and star anise pictures light up.
</pre>
In a room without items that can be foraged, the pictorial index shows only the top line.

GS4-XYNWEN:

This page is to help people find the things they need for [[Adventurer's Guild]] tasks. Or really, for any other tasks you'd like.

Maps of areas can be found with terrain and climate info for each room are have been compiled and are available elsewhere.<ref>[http://www.outdoorelanthia.com/maps/ Outdoor Elanthia maps]</ref>

==Table Usage==
As should be described on the [[forage]] page, each item can be found in one (or more) type of [[climate]] and [[terrain]]. The world is composed of several different climates (arid, arid temperate, cold damp, cold dry, freshwater, glacial, hot damp, humid, moist, saltwater, snowy arctic, and temperate). Each of these is divided into several terrain types (barren scrub, coniferous, cultivated, deciduous, grassland, hard flat, hilly, mountainous, plain dirt, riparian, rough, sandy, tropical forest, muddy wetlands, and subterranean). The beauty of this, is that it does not matter the time, [[LOCATION (verb)|location]], [[realm]], or day; each combination of climate and terrain will have a certain type of herb(s) growing.

Therefore, this table need only contain the item, climate, terrain, and number of [[bounty point]]s. Then, if Character A gets assigned to forage blueberries in the catacombs, he need only look at this table, and see that Character B got assigned to forage for blueberries in Bonespear, found them in humid climate and rough terrain, and entered them here, then Character A can then look on his handy maps and see that there are a few rooms of the catacombs that are humid and rough, and forage just in those rooms.

<i>Note: for consistency, can we arbitrarily handle things that can show up in different climates AND terrains how I've started the acantha leaf one? So some items will have multiple rows, but each row will only contain a single climate.</i>

{{top}}

==Unknown Climate/Terrain==
If you are unable to determine the climate or terrain of the location from which you obtained your item, there is a secondary table on [[Talk:Foraging locations|this page]] where you can add a detailed description of the rooms in which you found the item you were looking for and some friendly ranger with too much time on their hands may go through, find the climate/terrain, and move that information here.

==Description==
{{CompactTOC}}
=== A ===
[[File:arcticmoss.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Arctic Moss]]
'''Arctic Moss''': A silvery-grey moss with a short, thick fern-like texture, often found clinging to trees or soil near areas with some moisture. Can be foraged in the wild and eaten raw, or shredded into a salad.

=== B ===
[[File:Basal.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Basal Moss]]
'''Basal Moss''': <section begin=basal-description />Grey-green in color, this short-tufted moss is routinely sold for its medicinal properties and may also be foraged wild.<section end=basal-description /> <section begin=basal-use />When consumed, basal moss can repair minor bruising, cuts, and scrapes to the eyes, chest, and abdominal area.<section end=basal-use /> <section begin=basal-climateterrain />It grows primarily in temperate climates on the bark of deciduous trees.<section end=basal-climateterrain />

[[File:blackhook.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Black Hook Mushroom]]
'''Black Hook Mushroom''': Shallow dark grey cap with black hook-like flourishes spaced out along the edge with dark gills. Sought after for its showy caps.

[[File:blacktrafel.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Black Trafel Mushroom]]
'''Black Trafel Mushroom ''': A black frilly-edged cap bearing soft white spots identifies this delicious mushroom, treasured for soups, stews, and an aside to game meats.

[[File:bluetrafel.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Blue Trafel Mushroom]]
'''Blue Trafel Mushroom''': A blue-grey frilly-capped mushroom with cream spots. Not to be confused with its cousin, the black trafel mushroom.

'''Bolmara''': A verdigris-hued lichen that favors huge outcroppings of granite and quartz composites. When ground in sufficient quantity, and steeped in alcohol, the essence can be blended with other ingredients to create a healing potion, helpful for major nerve system damage.

=== D ===
'''Daggerstalk Mushroom''': Pointed stalks with blade-shaped caps, the mushroom is silvery in hue

=== E ===
[[File:Ephlox.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Ephlox Moss]]

''...as revealed from an unearthed journal...''

== Foreword by Grezzele Stredelys ==

When we were both of an age to seek our fortunes in the world, my sister and I traveled far from the lands of our particular Araime tribe of giantkin. We used our skill with weaponry to ease our way, becoming mercenaries of a sort. Thus it was not unexpected that death should find us upon a battlefield, but it was unexpected that one of us would be resurrected as someone other than who she originally was.

My sister was "fielded" by the Vaikalimara and secretly restored to life to be one amongst their number. From that day she who was always closest to my soul was lost to me, and also from that day I vowed to find out all I could of her "new life" within those of the Kindred known as "War Daughters of the Mist." Yet their ways are secret, their tribes reclusive. Thus I could discover nothing until I heard by chance of a document held by the Grot'karesh Clan.

I am not by natural inclination nor skilled in the arts of a thief. Yet steal this document I did. Do not question me as to how; I would only lie about the circumstances in any case. But this document, replete with how it came into the hands of The Preceptors, I reveal to all giantkin now as a means of closure for those like me who lost one of their blood to initiation within the clan of the Vaikalimara.

== Introductory Notes by the Preceptors of the Grot'karesh Clan ==

The following writings were found in a cave in the eastern Dragonspine Mountains. Though the author of the journal revealed herself within its stretched-hide pages to be a member of the Vaikalimara Clan of giantkin, the initial truth is that she was one of our own Grot'karesh kindred. A scholar to her bones, she had conceived of a means to gain information regarding the hidden lifestyle of "the Mistborn," as those of the Vaikalimara refer to themselves. She arranged her own death upon more than one battlefield to be sure, until at last she was successfully "fielded." Old letters secured in the archives state the original plan she presented to the Preceptors was for become one with the Vaikalimara, live amongst them, record their ways, and then come back to her own with her gained insight. Alas, she never returned to her original people, a testament to the ultimate lure of the Vaikalimara rituals. Yet somewhere in her clouded mind remained the vestige of her fundamental purpose. Accordingly, she initiated a journal of her experiences within the culture of the Vaikalimara and eventually left it in a cave in the eastern Dragonspine. There it was discovered many decades later by one of our clansmen.

The formal grammar and verb style of the Saramar Runes employed in the manuscript's writing, confirmed it as the effort of the one-time Grot'karesh scholar, and so it was reverently handed over to us, the Preceptors, for safekeeping as part of our historical annals. It has been reserved from the view of all but a select few due to doubts regarding the writer's mental acumen at the time of its composition, doubts that might sully the status of her previous distinguished works. Yet, whatever questions might be raised as to the clarity of the chronicler's mind, there is no doubt the document does serve to provide an intimate look into the very reclusive society of the Vaikalimara giantkin.

== The Recovered Writings of Grebena Nysabir ==

What is sanity? Can it be quantified? Declared as an absolute truth with no possibility of any deviation from that unconditional reality? I do not know the answer to this question. I am not even sure I seek that answer any longer.

The dream of my birth remains strong in me...

Banshees surround me, wildly screaming. And then the others, those others who are alien beings from some other place, are summoned forth by the slender ones with the pointed ears.
Everywhere there is blood. Everywhere there is death. And for me there is only pain, pain so intense I cannot help but scream as wildly as the banshees did before me.
Suddenly I am transported, physically lifted, as a strained voice fills every space around me. "Mishka, stay with us," it begs.
…Yet I am not Mishka. I know I am not someone called Mishka... Or am I?
I scream a final time not just in agony but in confusion as well, and then I am born.
The shaman smiles at me, "Welcome to life, one now born into the name of Grebena Nysabir, one now to know the secrets of the Mistborn."

"Who is Mishka?" I find myself asking wearily, my body still aching from some recent if unremembered trauma and my nostrils assailed by the bilious odor of oozing trollear mushrooms burning in a nearby brazier.

"Mishka is all of us," replies the shaman with another smile.

Mishka is all of us.

That alone is the one thing I can readily declare as absolute truth. No matter that Mishka was a giantkin of Wsalamir origins whose last breath lies beyond the boundaries of physical memory of any now living. No matter that Mishka fought against mass legions of undead long since vanquished. No matter that she faced the others in numbers never since seen. No matter that her sanity fled from her with the unnatural complications of her battle wounds. She was the first of us. She will be the last of us. She is all of us.

Mishka was purposely selected, as I was purposely selected. As, in truth, all of us are purposely selected. Through some ancient shared internal dream of her are we all born, we of the Vaikalimara.

Zelia laid her touch, her nigrashe as we call it, upon Mishka on a fine spring night after the giantkin had wandered away from all she had known to that point as family and tribe. Having been caught in a series of thorn bushes that tangled themselves into her clothes, Mishka wearily settled herself by a stream, using a small handaxe she carried on her person to cut free the tenacious nettles that clung to fabric. Wielding the blade upon the barbs stuck deep into her tunic, her fingers slipped, slicing shallowly across her chest. She parted the blouse to dab the stinging wound with cold liquid from the spring, and saw reflected in the water the trail of blood that traced outward from the cut. Suddenly a mist rose, thick yet strangely warm, clouding the air, making vision uncertain… until Mishka looked straight up into the heavens. And there, sharp and clear and true, rose the six stars of the constellation known as The Handmaidens.

Mishka stared awestruck at those distinct points of light above her, noting that the design of the blood trickling slowly from the somewhat long though not deep wound in her chest matched the pattern of the constellation. She threw her head back in wonder and found words coming unbidden to her lips, words she had never before spoken and words she did not herself know, but which with all the surety of epiphany referenced those six stars shining with eye-catching brilliance in the misty sky above.

"Myzori," she recited in a voice slow and soft, reflective of her mesmerized state.

"The most amazed," she heard a voice not her own patiently expound as a sharp thorn incised itself without pain within the flesh low on her left calf, near where the non-healing old wound of Maelshyve still festered.

"Eyzori," Mishka's own voice continued.

"The most forgiven," the other voice followed once more, as another thorn imbedded itself painlessly perhaps a thumb-length to the left of the former stab.

"Loxori," again Mishka spoke.

"The most protected," the other voice intoned as a third thorn stuck in her flesh a half-thumb-length above the second.

"Ioxori," Mishka's dazed recitation went on.

"The most enlightened," the soft voice crooned as a fourth thorn cut into Mishka's flesh a thumb-length above the third.

"Kuvori," the giantkin quietly verbalized almost as if giving sound to a prayer.

"The most respected," the other voice stated its piece as a fifth thorn wedged itself a half-thumb-length to the left of the fourth.

"Auvori," finalized Mishka in a strong voice as a feeling of total calm and absolute belonging overtook her.

"The most beloved," rose the final words of the voice as a sixth thorn trapped itself the most deeply of all approximately a thumb-length down from the fifth.

Mishka stared down at the delineation of The Handmaidens upon her left calf. With wonder she traced thin lines between the thorns with the tip of her handaxe: amazed to forgiven, forgiven to protected, protected to enlightened, enlightened to respected, respected to beloved, beloved back to protected. Dipping her hands in the stream, Mishka then rinsed clean of gore this touch of Zelia, this nigrashe, the spiky spines floating away into the water. And it is said that the nigrashe healed instantly into the gentle lines of the scar pattern that bound Mishka to the Goddess of the Moons from that day forth, with the sixth thorn prick, as well as the line connecting that marking to the fifth puncture, standing out more prominently than the rest in the raised outline.

I now list the names of the three tribes of the Vaikalimara as they were taught me when I was a newborn, thrust through the sacred mist into the bosom of Zeymor and consecrated through a nigrashe incised upon my left shoulder into the strata of Eyzori, most forgiven...

Vaukor of Auvori and Kuvori
Xiolor of Ioxori and Loxori
Zeymor of Eyzori and Myzori

These names, and more importantly the revealed names of the six stars of the constellation upon which they are based, are sacrosanct and should be spoken but rarely and always with reverence.

Each tribe of the three shares equal representation of two particular stars of The Handmaidens, epitomized in the particular formation of the strongest scar tissue of the nigrashe. Two shamans guide each tribe, one from each strata, as chosen from the groupings of a particular star which consecration places any of the Mistborn.

Though we do not seek out the other tribes of Vaikalimara to attest to the continuance of this state of truth, it has been accepted from the beginning. The communally passed dreams present Mishka, handmaiden tied to Auvori, the most beloved, being joined in the first tribe by Arenari, handmaiden tied to Kuvori, the most respected. Arenari was once of the T'Kirem Clan and, after her death in battle, was fielded by Mishka upon the instruction of Zelia. The Goddess of the Moons also charged Mishka to trace the nigrashe upon Arenari's right thigh with thorns and with axe blade, leaving the fifth thorn prick, as well as the axe-blade-incised line connecting that fifth wound to the sixth, as the most prominent in the cluster. Arenari's was the first true fielding amongst the Mistborn.

And so it was that Vaukor became the first tribe and, when the time comes for all to end, Vaukor will be the last.
-----

Sometimes one touched by Zelia through a nigrashe has a long devotion or particular association with another Arkati or Lesser Divine. Thus her soul is split between an old dedication and the nigrashe of Zelia. These Mistborn are the nesarir.

The secondary dedication of a nesarir is called a nigrashu and is a private matter of faith. Sometimes Zelia embraces the nigrashu of a nesarir and sometimes she resents such, testing such a Mistborn more than others whose service is unclouded.
-----

From birth all Vaikalimara are taught the skills of the axe. This universal training has historical significance. Arenari was a renowned proficient with the double-bit axe. In close combat she would adeptly wield one such weapon in each hand, and just as adeptly throw one from either hand to engage in more distance-initiated struggles. Thus, as Mishka is honored in the ritualistic dream of birth, Arenari is honored in the ritualistic weaponry instruction of a Mistborn.

Yet, Vaikalimara are free to choose their paths in life. Not all are required to become expert warriors with the axe. The ways and means of magic are open to them for exploration, as are the ways and means of other forms of arms. The Path in life a Vaikalimara ultimately chooses has much to do with the dominance of one particular serri-serri over another within the individual's internal and external being.
-----
Through the intervention of Zelia, the five senses of physical being are extended in the Vaikalimara to include abstract qualities. These extended senses are referred to as the serri-serri, and they strongly influence various paths taken in life.

Hearing becomes auserri. It encompasses the inner spiritual hearing of those of a clerical persuasion that is evidenced in their understanding of the holy voices that ride the wind. It also holds sway over the enhanced physical hearing of those of the bardic bent as evidenced in their internal timing with the rhythm and tempo of the natural world.

Sight becomes voserri. It encompasses the inner mental sight of those who choose to discipline themselves within the framework of this world through the practice of monkish austerity, and those who choose to recreate the framework of this world through the processes of savant awareness. It also holds sway over the enhanced physical sight of those with a roguish demeanor, evidenced in their advantageous use of stealth and sleight-of-hand.

Smell becomes fiserri. It encompasses the innate ability of those with wizardly skills to intuitively sniff out the strengths and weaknesses of the inert elements of the natural world, including even time itself. It also holds sway over the enhanced sense of smell with which those with rangerly talents are able to instinctively classify all living elements of the natural world.

Taste becomes geserri. It encompasses the innate intellectual palate of those with sorcerous skills to savor unusual interactions between the natural and unnatural worlds. It also holds sway over the enhanced gusto with which those who display talents that declare them holy warriors, paladins of the gods, internally devour perceived injustices within any realm.

Touch becomes daserri. It encompasses the spiritual and mental connection those with empathic powers develop with others through physical or emotional contact. It also holds sway over the strong grip warriors maintain with the external connectors to their physical prowess, that is their weaponry.
-----
Contact of the Vaikalimara with other beings of the natural world is purposely limited. Our life is centered upon the deity who bestows the nigrashe upon us. Therefore, we seek no association with any others but those of our own tribe, so that our service remains ever true and unquestioning.

However, on rare occasions one of the Vaikalimara will receive a mission requiring a period of living among others outside of the tribe. Such a mission is not always quantifiable with regard to set deeds or even a set timeframe, with some missions lasting but hours and some many decades. Indeed, the precise aspects of the mission often seem fluid in nature to the Mistborn herself, as one cannot expect to fully know the mind of Zelia.

Such missions come forth in dreams, as does much of the commanding of the Vaikalimara by the chosen deity. Interpretation of such dreams must be left to the shamans. Once it is determined a particular Mistborn is to venture forth from worldly isolation, she must stay away from her tribe until she receives a repeat dream of birth as a signal her mission is complete. Then and only then may she return to the bosom of the tribe.

It is not unheard of for an adolescent in the tribe to receive a mission, but more commonly they are bestowed upon Vaikalimara who have come of age. Oftentimes, though not exclusively, those called to missions beyond the scope of the tribe's seclusion are nesarir, as Zelia chooses in her own way to fully test their dedication.
-----
The position of the shamans of the tribe as direct representatives of their specific stars and thus handmaidens of Zelia in the fullest sense is never to be questioned. Their powerful nigrashe provide them with insights no others of the tribe possess. Alone born in full spiritual maturity, only they hold sway over the Three Great Mysteries that comprise the core of Vaikalimara religious beliefs.

The shamans do not rise into their positions by some means of progressive ascension; rather they are born into them. From the moment they share in the dream of birth, it is apparent who they are. Zelia arranges all so another shaman emerges from amongst the fielded only when a previous shaman is about to be released from service to enter the final quiet clasped within Gosaena's arms. That such event comes only when needful is one aspect of the first Great Mystery, that mystery itself being the prerogative of the fielding.

All Vaikalimara who have come of age take part in the fielding, but it is the shamans who consecrate each Mistborn through nigrashe and who are granted visions on the placement of a newborn within the strata of the tribe. And it is they who faithfully declare when a new shaman has arisen from among the fielded, thus releasing from service one of their own to travel alone into the wilderness, away from the tribe, to make her final journey beyond the Ebon Gate.

The Second of the Great Mysteries is the summoning forth of the mystical properties of the trollear mushroom. Only shamans know the secret of preparing these mushrooms to take advantage of their full supernatural capacities, though all Vaikalimara learn the use of the prepared mushrooms to bring about blessed dreams. The trollear is the lifeblood of all blessed dreams of the Mistborn.

The last of the Great Mysteries deals with the interpretation of blessed dreams. This is the sole province of shamans, and is the only one of the mysteries that is not shared in some aspect with all members of the tribe. This is because only within shamans are all the serri-serri equally strong. In them no one sense dominates. Thus for them the meaning of dreams is unclouded by predilection to any singularly enhanced sense.
-----
Mishka had been wounded upon the battlefield when she was chosen to receive her nigrashe. Arenari had been dead upon the battlefield when she was chosen to receive hers. From that time to this, such has always been how the touch has come: to the wounded or the dead upon a field of battle. Such will be how the touch comes into all eternity, by this method of selection referred to as the fielding.

We Vaikalimara are guided through the blessed dreams of a shaman to a place of fresh combat, where the wounded yet lie untended and the dead yet lie unresurrected. There, in a thick fog brought forth by the shamans to shield our movements from prying eyes, we search for those of our own race and sex upon whom to perform the ritual for identification. If successful identification is made, the giantkin is borne off the field by four Mistborn: one at each shoulder and one at each knee. She is taken to a predetermined and adequately hidden location, healed and/or raised as is needful, and consecrated with the incision of the nigrashe by a shaman.

And then she is born.
-----
It was Arenari who first was granted knowledge of how to prepare the trollear mushroom to sacred purpose.

Her nigrashe lacked the gentling of Zelia's madness that served as precursor to that of Mishka; thus she had regrets about leaving behind her old life. Isolation from all she had known and all she had loved was difficult for her to accept. Zelia therefore sent Kuon as a messenger to guide her toward the discovery of the numinous properties of the trollear.

What process transforms the mushroom into its most mystical form will forever remain restricted information within the framework of the second Great Mystery. Once Arenari learned this method, she found burning the mushrooms in a brazier eased not only her profound melancholy but vanquished all her regrets about giving up her past life. In dream, she then passed awareness of the divinely inspired technique on to Mishka. Now that process is shared in dream with each and every shaman of the Vaikalimara, while the prescribed sacred use of the transformed mushroom is shared with each and every member of the clan.
-----
Blessed dreams, dreams relating to service, all come to be through the auspices of the trollear mushroom. All interpretations of such dreams come to be through the facilitation of the shamans.

Mishka was the first to realize she could interpret dreams sanctified by the use of prepared trollear mushrooms. She found as well that concentrating on such spiritual translations filled her with an exultation of all the senses. It left her temporarily weak, yet giddy with inexplicable happiness. She urged Arenari to attempt the process, and Arenari too found her senses overcome with a powerful euphoria that could only be described as holy.

However, these first two shamans soon discovered that not all others brought into their fold were able to achieve such rapture by dream scrutiny; that in fact attempting such left most depressed and severely disoriented. Thus did it become known as an ability reserved for full handmaidens of Zelia, sanctified by their representation of a particular star of the Goddess of the Moons' constellation.

Mishka, in short order, created the speech pattern used for others to relate blessed dreams to their shamans as that formulaic model of recitation discharged from her consciousness the mental wanderings to which the whispering of Zelia normally left her prone. Thus, a dream sanctified in its receipt by use of the trollear mushroom is spoken to the shaman in a ritualistic singsong voice, the specialized cadence of vocalization taught each Vaikalimara as a newborn. The rhythmic tonal quality of the narration serves to clear the mind of the shaman of all extraneous thoughts, allowing her to concentrate fully on the content of the dream by utilizing as a conduit the unique combination of strengths inherent in her serri-serri.

It is one of the Three Great Mysteries that any shaman is capable of unraveling the full meaning of a blessed dream of any Vaikalimara. The dreamer need not be of the strata relating to the shaman's own star, or even of that tribe. However, it is common practice to seek out the shaman of her own tribe who is tied to the dreamer's own strata for formal sacramental enlightenment regarding a blessed dream.
-----
All days spent in service are holy to the Vaikalimara. No single one stands above another in the sense of the clan's overall observance. To us as individuals within the strata there are three main events in life that are cause for great spiritual rejoicing: birth, singulation of a serri-serri, and finally coming of age.

Each of these events marks the commencement of a specific stage of life for a Vaikalimara, these three stages being newborn, adolescence, and adulthood. Such life stages for a Mistborn have naught to do with physical development and all to do with spiritual development.

The birth of all life transpires through trauma; it is no different for a Vaikalimara. The dream of birth is violent and frightening, painful and confusing. One awakens from it wearied, yet somehow curious to commence one’s journey in a new world.

With first breath comes the potent odor of burning trollear, an odor nauseating to unaccustomed newborn senses. Soon that scent will become an intoxicating perfume to her, but in the beginning it riles the stomach and irritates the nerves.

The shaman of her stratum within the tribe greets her with her newly bestowed name. Her blessed dream of who the newborn is within the tribe determines the newborn’s kegritsha, which in turn determines her familial name. Her given name is the shaman's prerogative alone to choose, though oftentimes she will consult with the most spiritually senior member of the newborn’s new family to see if she has some particular preference. Her name before the birth will elude her memory during these first hours as the numen of the trollear works to full sacramental purpose.

The members of the newborn’s kegritsha hold a private celebration to mark her coming into the world. After the shaman reveals her fresh nigrashe to them, they reverently rub over that sacred mark a holy oil formed from a mash of the trollear that will aid in proper scarring. They sing songs of the history of the Mistborn as they carry her on a pallet to lie under the light of The Handmaidens as they glow in the spring sky. They keep vigil over the new one all throughout that first night.

Only a shaman is born to full spiritual maturity. All other Mistborn must grow into such in stages. As a newborn, untried and not yet ready for full service, she learns the most fundamental of skills to function in life. She is taught the singsong cadence of dream recounting. She begins training with the axe. She repeats by rote the respectful recitation of the names of the three tribes of the Vaikalimara and the six stars of The Handmaidens. Most importantly, she is educated in the sacred use of the trollear mushroom.

The newborn has no specific duties within the tribe as she lives secluded within her kegritsha during this time. The only expectation put upon her is to come to understand the great task to which she has been called. The trollear is there to keep her from dwelling upon a past that matters not at all, with those of her kegritsha providing her with the mushroom on a near constant basis. She is encouraged by her family at this point in her life to use the mushrooms much more frequently than she will in later years. Thus she quickly finds the distinctive aroma of it burning in a brazier loses its off-putting qualities, and in fact provides her a spiritual experience like no other.

The amount of actual time that comprises this stage of life for a Vaikalimara, like all the stages in life for us, is not predetermined. A Mistborn remains a newborn until the most spiritually senior member of her kegritsha declares to the shaman of her stratum that she is ready to undergo the ritual of singulation of a serri-serri and thus enter adolescence.
-----
Singulation of a serri-serri too is difficult and painful, though its trauma is far different than that of birth. The risk of death underscores the ritual and the trollear lies at its core, though in a way separate from the mushroom's use for the mind clearing and spirit cleansing of the newborn.

During the ceremony of singulation, for the first and only time in her life, a Vaikalimara will consume a portion of prepared trollear. Using a sanctified athame, her shaman cuts a mere sliver of mushroom from the whole and places it upon the tongue of the candidate. Prayers are uttered to Zelia by the candidate's kegritsha, who are all in attendance, and then the newborn swallows that tiny slice of mushroom.

In that moment, as a violent sickness overtakes her body, the Vaikalimara is a newborn no more. Her reaction to the numen will bring forth the specificity of her future path in life. So the shaman waits for the full results of that reaction, a process that usually takes no more than several hours. It is only when the initial effects of the retching nausea have run their full course that the secondary reaction of the candidate finally comes to light. It is the secondary reaction, which occurs only after death and subsequent resurrection, that determines which of the five serri-serri is dominant within her physical body and thus within her spiritual being. A temporary unnatural either sensitivity or insensitivity to input that must be processed by a particular sense is what forms such a secondary reaction. As an example: a ringing the ears or a loss of hearing for a small window of time indicates the governance of auserri.

The kegritsha of the candidate then present her with a gift of a dedicated pouch for containment of a personal store of prepared trollear mushrooms. Elaborately decorated by each member of her family with a personal mark and known as a vylkaran, this pouch represents the Mistborn’s completed passage into adolescence. For most Vaikalimara, a private store of sacred mushrooms is a holy reminder of their service that they choose to keep always near at hand. For others, the mushrooms seem far too divine to be kept so customarily close during the everyday routines of daily living. If a Mistborn of either adolescent or adult status (such is forbidden a newborn) chooses to carry such a personal store, it is always placed in the vylkaran and only in the vylkaran.

Never again will a Mistborn eat of the blessed trollear. Any attempt to do so in circumstances other than the formal sacrament of singulation is sacrilege and punishable by unresurrected death.

Once singulation has revealed what serri-serri rules within the adolescent, an initial exploration period of a few months’ duration commences regarding the several paths influenced by that serri-serri. After that point, the adolescent decides which of those paths suits her best and her lessons then center solely upon the one chosen path, as well as the religious and historical teachings necessary to ready her for the journey into adulthood and spiritual maturity.

An adolescent Vaikalimara does have specific duties within the tribe. Adolescents are the keepers of all things necessary for the physical survival of the tribe's members. They are the gatherers and growers of foodstuffs, the butchers and cooks, the spinners and weavers of cloth, the garment-makers and cobblers, the carvers and forgers, the tanners and builders.

Thus are the adolescents the working limbs of the body of the clan even as its shamans comprise the governing head and as the adults are the beating heart and life-organ containing torso of that body.
-----
The coming of age for a Vaikalimara marks a life that has reached the goal of spiritual maturity. Such is not a goal that can be based upon a worldly calendar. Thus, the stage of adolescence can last but a single year for some Mistborn and several decades for others. There is no stigma attached to a longer period of adolescence, as there is none attached to a longer existence as a newborn. Some Vaikalimara will be expert at their path in life by the time they come of age; some will only be functional in their chosen path by such time. Zelia requires servants of all professional proficiencies.

The passage into adulthood requires that the candidate has studied well the tenets of clan belief and history. The shaman of the candidate's own stratum determines competence in these matters. The shaman's latitude in her judgment of the candidate's readiness to come of age is great, but her decision with regard to that ultimate readiness is definitive.

Because of the flexibility of the shaman's scope with regard to the ritual of coming of age, no two such sacraments are ever exactly the same. Whatever the tests prove to be, once they are passed the shaman hands the candidate a short-bladed, double-bit, ceremonial handaxe and a deeply hooded, grey, flax cloth cloak, indicating she is to take part in her first fielding as an adult within the tribe.

The process of fielding has been with the Vaikalimara since the beginning. Though Zelia herself fielded Mishka, clan members have themselves fielded all other Mistborn since. Mishka fielded Arenari. Mishka and Arenari alternated fielding the remaining four representatives of the stars who were to become the first shamans of the other two tribes of the Vaikalimara: Saliere, the most enlightened; Caaiea, the most protected; Toliia, the most forgiven; Pytria, the most amazed. Once there existed six Mistborn for each star -- one shaman and five of the lower strata, Zelia through blessed dreams,advised the women to split into three separate groups, the three tribes each of two stars, and for each tribe to then wander on their own and field others into their tribes as future dreams would instruct.

Though the prerogative of the fielding is one of the Three Great Mysteries, the actual procedure remains relatively simple. During the spring, when the constellation of The Handmaidens is viewable in the night sky, a shaman of the tribe receives a blessed dream revealing the location of a battlefield that will soon yield wounded and dead giantkin. All the adults of the tribe travel en masse to that place of revelation. As night falls, the shamans call forth a mystical fog to shield the actions of the Vaikalimara. It is said that the others of our race understand the meaning of the fog and take caution not to interfere with the holiness of the fielding, but as to the truth of that I cannot say. I can only say that in the entire history of the Mistborn no fielding has ever been interrupted by the hostile actions of any giantkin.

The Vaikalimara then traverse the field, seeking out the severely wounded and the dead. At the body of each fallen giantkin, one Mistborn will pause and remove any armor or other coverings from the chest of that fallen one. Then the Vaikalimara will adeptly wield her ceremonial handaxe to make a shallow cut to the length of perhaps a halfling's foot diagonally over the heart of the fallen one, initiating the angle of the wound from the same side as the location of her own nigrashe. Thus would I, with my nigrashe on my left shoulder, cut from left to right diagonally across the chest of the fallen one.

If the bleeding from the score in the flesh of the fallen one flows in the rough pattern of The Handmaidens, the Vaikalimara knows she has come upon one touched that night by Zelia. Thus the fallen one is lifted by four Mistborn of the stratum and taken from the field to a predetermined secret site where both shamans will study the night sky. That shaman who first spots the blazing of her own star amongst the six of the constellation, a signal as to which stratum this chosen is considered part, will then use the trollear to receive a blessed dream as to where the nigrashe should be placed on the body of the newly touched one. The incising of the nigrashe with thorns and with axe-blade then comes under the jurisdiction of the particular shaman into whose stratum within the tribe the touched one will be born to new life.

Adult life for a Vaikalimara is always about service, whether participating in a fielding, gathering the sacred trollear for the shamans' preparation, or performing tasks desired by Zelia in some form or another. All things Zelia wishes done strictly within the bounds of the mortal world will be placed upon the shoulders of the Mistborn. Some tasks are easy to understand as to purpose; others are not. Still, a Vaikalimara will never question service. She will never demand reasons for Zelia's commands. And for this absolute loyalty will she ever know she will never walk this world alone.

A tiny mithril anvil will grant the user the ability to change a weapon to another within the same category (OHE, OHB, etc.) Reforging into a claidhmore is not possible, but you can reforge out of it and lose 40 CER. Some restrictions may apply, especially in the case of scripted items. All conversion requests will be reviewed before final approval and could result in the inability to reforge the requested weapon. If the item has over 20 CER, the reforged weapon will be reduced to 20 CER. Both the old and new weapon must use exactly the same weapon skill. In addition, the new weapon will be reforged into the new base and use an appropriate noun for that base. Some scripts will prevent a weapon from being reforged, including Arcane Sidearms.

{{RoomDescription|
|roomname=Scrip Shop, Meditation Room
|desc=Quarantined from the chaos of the adjacent chamber, sizable throws of snow leopard fur line both the floor and walls, meticulously aligned to create a hypnotizing pattern of dark spots. Stone pedestals inlaid with ur-barath sconces bear candles that release a gentle, soothing fragrance into the air, erasing all evidence of the musty scent in neighboring areas. White fur rugs form a circle inside the pedestal boundary, each one spaced far enough from the next to allow for adequate distancing. You also see a perky bearded dabbler and a beaded curtain.

<nowiki>
A perky bearded dabbler says, "I can remove certain properties on many items. ASK ME about REMOVE to see what kinds of things I'm able to do for you. My standard fee is 5000 bloodscrip, but for a script that has no mechanical value whatsoever, I will charge you only 1000 bloodscrip. The script must be one that I am familiar with, so if I am not, I'll have to get permission first. It shouldn't take too long, though."
</nowiki>
<noinclude>
Elegantly barrel-chested and graced with a flowing mane of flaxen tresses, a perky bearded dabbler is short of stature and nimble. Her eyes reflect a good-natured flirtatiousness that is expressed in her ready smile and the gentle sway of her hips. A plethora of bejeweled braids adorns her chin, though they have been parted into two groups to better show off her barely buttoned shirt, which is tucked into a pair of form-fitting leather trousers.

Heavy, hole-ridden sheets of green velvet loosely cover a series of pristine wooden crates, the fabric pooling across the knitted rugs covering the dusty planks. A pair of driftwood-carved sculptures flank a gilt-painted curio in the far corner, the open doors draped in a fine layer of brittle cobwebs.

GS4-XYNWEN: /* Skill Level Information */

{{TOCright}}
== Origami System Overview ==
[[The Art of Origami]] introduced the origami system in 2022.

The origami system utilizes the {{boldmono|[[:Verb:ORIGAMI|ORIGAMI]]}} verb. In order to utilize it, you will need to unlock the skill with an origami master NPC. Origami master NPCs are currently found in [[RWShop:The Folded Lotus|The Folded Lotus]] at [[:Category:Rumor Woods|Rumor Woods]], [[EHShop:The Ghostly Lotus|The Ghostly Lotus]] at [[:Category:Ebon Gate Festival|Ebon Gate]], and [[BVShop:The Bloody Lotus|The Bloody Lotus]] at [[:Category:Duskruin|Duskruin]]. At that point, you will be Unskilled in origami.

[[Origami Paper]] is required to utilize the origami system. [[Origami Kit]]s hold paper inside and, when unlocked, can apply further fluff verb traps to the paper contained within. Paper, kits, and various [[origami patterns]] can be purchased at the same locations as the various NPC origami masters.

Gaining ranks in the origami skill requires practice. The amount of ranks gained is time-restricted, with a limit both on how quickly ranks can be gained in succession and on how many ranks can be gained per day. Attempting to gain too many ranks in quick succession will lead to a papercut, preventing use of the origami system until it has healed. Paper cuts do not cause a mechanical injury. They cannot be healed by an empath or with herbs; healing them just takes a bit of time.

At first, your designs may not be as recognizable as you desire, but as you get some practice under your [[Erithi Clothing#Vatanura|vatanura]], you'll be able to visit the master and become more skilled.

==Origami Skill Levels ==
There are multiple skill levels, and each one will require some practice with origami before the origami master will let you move up.

=== Teacher and Professor ===
These two new levels were introduced at Rumor Woods 2025, and they will allow some ability for players to teach other players.

'''Teachers''' gain a unique pre-name title of "Origami Instructor" and a new pattern upon unlocking that rank of ''an origami Rumor Woods''. If someone has already unlocked the origami skill, anyone at Teacher level can advance them to Basic, Proficient, and Advanced, using {{boldmono|ORIGAMI TEACH}}.

'''Professors''' gain a unique post-name title of "Professor of Origami". Characters that are an [[erithi]], [[Nalfein]] (elf or half-elf), or [[burghal gnome]] also get unique post-name titles of "Master of Intricate Patience" and "Master of the Folded Ways". As a professor, you can initiate someone into the ways of origami (aka, unlocking the skill for them and setting them at Unskilled). In addition, you are able to advance people to Skilled and Adept levels. Any level above Adept will still require the Origami Master NPCs (or the purchased instructions from the NPC).

== Origami Patterns ==
There are several [[origami patterns]] for each skill level. While most are purchased, there may be other ways to obtain patterns, too. An origami practitioner must be at least the same skill level as the pattern in order to learn it. It is possible to purchase pattern instructions (unlock certificates) from an origami master so that the pattern can be learned at a later time one more skill is gained.

=== Origami Glue ===
Unlocked when you reach Adept level in Origami, this allows you to permanently affix your folded object. There is no additional cost or training needed for this -- if you have Adept level or above already, or when you attain that level, you will have the ability to use {{boldmono|ORIGAMI GLUE}}. This feature is scheduled for release to coincide with Rumor Woods in 2025.

== Xynwen's General Guide to Origami ==
Written 2022-06-23<br>
Please feel free to update or create better guides on a sub-page and link here as you learn more about it.

# Visit the origami master NPC in The Folded Lotus at Rumor Woods
# {{boldmono|ASK MASTER ABOUT LEARN}} to unlock the origami skill
#* '''Note:''' You can purchase instructions for patterns and skill unlocks as physical items to be used later, so you can use them after the event (or so you can gift them to people). However, you must personally unlock the skill with the NPC.
#* While paper and different patterns may be available outside of Rumor Woods, training in the skill is currently limited to Rumor Woods, Ebon Gate, and Duskruin
# {{boldmono|ASK MASTER ABOUT PATTERN}} to get the syntax for the various ways to display patterns for sale by that NPC
# Buy at least 1 pattern at the unskilled level from the master
# Buy some paper in the store and {{boldmono|PLUCK}} one sheet off to use
# Type {{boldmono|ORIGAMI}} by itself for info on the verb
# {{boldmono|ORIGAMI FOLD {PATTERN MNEMONIC}}} will fold your sheet of paper
#* Example: {{boldmono|ORIGAMI FOLD MOUSE}} will fold your paper into an origami mouse
# {{boldmono|ORIGAMI UNFOLD}} will unfold the origami object in your hand and revert it back to paper so you can fold again
#* Remember: each sheet of origami paper can be folded and unfolded 5 times before it is unusable for origami
# When ready to train, visit the master again and {{boldmono|ASK MASTER ABOUT ADVANCE}}
#* Make sure you have at least one pattern for that skill level so your folding counts toward training up

Other Notes:
* If you go too fast, you may get some paper cuts
* After awhile, you may get tired if you try to do too many in a day
* If you want your paper to be "zestier" so you can do more fluff verb actions with it, you can get an origami kit and unlock it
** See [[Origami Paper]] and [[Origami Kit]] for more information

== Credits ==
* Elysani: ideas, patterns, messaging, and overall awesomeness
* Haliste: all the hard coding credit goes to Haliste and her amazing skills! In addition, she feature creeped the system a lot to make it even better than originally planned.
* Xynwen: original system layout and concept, patterns, ideas, and minor coding (paper and kit)!
* Ethereal: all the hard coding credits from 2025 go to Ethereal! Woo!

Meeting Hall Organization

2026-02-16T15:18:02Z

GS4-XYNWEN: /* Contacting the MHO GM */

{{official-document}}

Welcome to the GemStone IV Meeting Hall Organizations wiki section. Here you will find in-depth information regarding how to successfully operate an MHO in the land of Elanthia. A great deal of thanks is due to GMs Mitra, Reidyn, Kenstrom, Haliste, Elysani, and all the other wonderful GMs who have worked tirelessly for the benefit of all MHOs over the years, without whom this site would not be possible.

''Note:'' Certain pages will be locked down as official documentation on MHOs, but most pages will remain open for player updates and editing as per usual.

= Meeting Hall Organizations =

A Meeting Hall Organization ("MHO") is an organization run by the players of GemStone IV. Any group with a defined purpose which is open to new members and engages in activities which involve the greater community is eligible to form an MHO.

MHOs are run out of a Town Meeting Hall, which provides a location for member groups to meet as well as services that aid in the running of events and activities. Each Hall contains several reservable meeting rooms, a place to rent services such as food carts and themed tents, a shop to purchase unique group insignia and other supplies, and a private tavern. The Hall also allows groups to issue news items and event announcements. Some services are available immediately upon joining, others become available after time and demonstrated community involvement.

== MHO Information ==
* [[Meeting Hall Organization/Official MHO Guide | The Official MHO Guide]]
** This is the official guidance document for MHOs and replaces the website
* [[Meeting Hall Organization/MHO News | MHO News and other Information]]
** A place for staff to put MHO news, announcements, etc.

** Information on each town's MHO Hall
* [[Meeting Hall Organization/MHO Information | MHO Information]]
** A place for players to add MHO information and links to other MHO-related page

== Contacting the MHO GM ==
'''Current MHO GM:''' GM Xynwen

The MHO GM should always be contacted using the shared email address: GS4-MHO@play.net. This email address includes the MHO GM + others who serve as back-up, so it is important to use it.

'''Email Best Practices:'''<br>
* Descriptive, yet succinct, email subject header that includes your MHO's name (or its abbreviation)
** Best Practice Example: [MHOs]Order of Xynwen: Officer Change Issues
* Include your MHO, PC name, and contact email in the body of the email
* All questions, concerns, suggestions are welcome!
* If you think of additional things to add to a request immediately after sending, reply/forward your original email and add those details rather than starting a whole new email chain. This makes tracking it much easier.

Tea Mages

{{official-document}}

== Divination: The Art of the Tea Mages ==
This work is a collaboration with [[Ceibhfhionn Malficum | Stellate Ceibhfhionn Malficum]] of the Order of SPECTRE and SHADOW, a witch diviner of some note. I had approached her in late 5124 regarding a little known erithi divination technique, and she had found hints of these tea mages in Elanith, hidden amongst the Fishmongers' Wives. Together, we were able to earn the trust of these groups, and after much convincing, gain permission to share our findings more widely through lectures and the publication of this treatise.

It is my great wish that you enjoy learning about this unique melding of human and erithi divination sub-cultures.

~ Isienaka, Chief Scholar of Atan Irith

=== A History of the Tea Mages ===
The erithi divination art of [https://gswiki.play.net/Divination:_A_Comprehensive_Guide#Erithians aganiri] has been the primary method of seeking guidance amongst erithi seers for as long as we can remember, and most likely even longer than that. While it is the most common, accurate, and well-known of erithi divination and seer-seeking techniques, it is by no means the only one. Several hundred years ago, a small group of practitioners began calling themselves "te'raithir," which roughly translates to "tea soul mage." The generally accepted Common name is tea mage.

This small subset of erithi mages and seers believed that there was magic in reading a person’s soul and finding their perfect blend of tea. They posited that once provided with the perfect blend, a person's lot in life could be greatly improved (greatly improved being loosely defined as better health, gaining wealth, and so on). Most considered it relative charlatanism, and despite the acceptance of typical erithi seers and divination by many, the mages who practiced tea magic were dismissed as ludicrous.

Therefore, many of these tea mages left Atan Irith and hid themselves on Elanith disguised as simply unusual elves. As like draws to like, outcasts draw to outcasts, and many of the tea mages found themselves drawn to the Fishmongers’ Wives of the Turamzzyrian Empire, a group of people who also claimed to be seers, telling fortunes by the drawing of tiles.<ref>An excellent source on Fishmongers' Wives can be found in Seledwyn Var'Taliesin's masterful work, [[Divination: A Comprehensive Guide | A Comprehensive Guide to Divination in Elanthia]].</ref>

Time passed, and love matches were made between these two groups. While procreation was rare, it was not impossible, and thus over time, half-human/half-erithi offspring were brought into the fold. These offspring most often look like typical half-elves (sometimes with slightly unusual eyes), but they can also resemble solely one parent or the other and present as fully human or fully erithi.

The Elantih tea mages have mostly been found in coastal human cities and villages, where Fishmongers’ Wives have historically resided. Their practice is not a recognized form of divination by any scholar and are indeed only myth to some and not heard of by most until recently.

=== Artistic Differences: Atan Irith and Elanith ===
The methods employed by tea mages of Atan Irith and those of Elanith have diverged somewhat over the years, with the te'raithir of the Empire blending their practice with that of the tile-tellers of the Fishmongers' Wives.

While fairly rare for some time in Atan Irith, there have always been small groups practicing tea magics, mostly in smaller villages and isolated areas. In recent years, however, there has been a sudden rise in interest, and tea mage shops are being found even in the cities of Atan Irith. The Atan Irith te'raithir relies on spellwork and the "reading" of a customer until the seer has determined the three "soul tastes" of the individual. These soul tastes are then interpreted into tea ingredients, and the tea mage will create a blend based on this. The recipient is to drink that tea once a day to improve their fortune, and they should return to the tea mage as needed to purchase more.

In the human empire, a tea mage has a special teabowl filled with tiles. The person seeking their blend meets with the mage and discusses many things. After much ritual, three tiles are chosen. These tiles represent the three ingredients that best fit the tea the seeker should drink for whatever issue divination assistance was sought. The meaning of the tiles varies between practitioners, so there is no one comprehensive dictionary of tile divination definitions nor what tea ingredient they represent.

While there is a similar tiering aspect to the readings (usually based upon amount of silvers willing to be spent), the Empire readings are more frequently aimed at specific outcomes, whereas the erithi readings are more generally focused on the individual's overall good fortune and well-being. The latter is predicated upon the belief that if one takes care of the whole, then the specifics will follow, not vice versa.

''Types of Readings:''<br>
* ''General'': The seeker will fit into a handful of basic categories, and they will be encouraged to purchase off-the-shelf, premixed teas best suited to their personalities
* ''Ordinary'': This reading is a bit more detailed, and the teas are a bit more expensive, but they are still off-the-shelf, albeit more specific to the individual.
* ''Personal'': For a much larger fee, a tea mage can work in more detail. From there, a customized tea is provided. These aren’t available off-the-shelf, but a blend may be used by more than one person.
* ''Unique'': In addition to the deeply personal reading, the tea mage takes care to create a totally unique blend for their client. They will often name this concoction as well, inspiration coming from the reading itself. While it is possible another tea mage in another area may inadvertently replicate a blend, within a singular community, the tea mages keep these unique for each individual.

=== Seeking the Soul: An Atan Irith Ritual Experience ===
''This being a firsthand account by a patron of a te'raithir in Nathal-Ra, as told to Scholar Isienaka''
: I entered a plain facade located off an alley in Nathal-Ra and found myself in a cozy and welcoming shop. Packets of tea blends rested neatly upon a series of shelves, along with neatly labeled canisters of leaves and other ingredients. A few raidanlu scurried about, chirruping in greeting even as the te'raithir came through a heavily embroidered silk curtain to meet me.

:I was nervous, for I knew this was not an accepted means of divination, but I was at my wit's end. My fortunes and health had been erratic for months, and nothing seemed to help. Seeing my discomfort and unsurety, the tea mage smiled warmly, bade me sit, and offered me a cup of blackberry oolong,<ref>Oolong is a unique tea leaf, and while we have lost the meaning of the word, erithi have inherently known how to grow and dry oolong since arriving on Atan Irith.</ref> my favorite. We talked for quite awhile, as I shared my story and concerns.

:Once the teapot was empty, the te'raithir cast several spells about me. I know little in the ways of magic, but it felt soothing deep within my soul -- like a silvery light was winding its way through to my very heart.<ref>Erithi mages decry this process, adamant it is pure charlatanism, but they do admit that at least no true harm is done</ref> Several times during the process, my te'raithir seemed to be disconnected from the corporeal world and gazed at me with incredible intensity.

:Finally, the mage stopped her casting and closed her eyes, sighing softly. She told me gently she had Seen into my soul and was now able to help me. Oolong, leaves dried under a summer's sun, mountain tea harvested in moonlight, and a simple yuzu-infused black tea, each mixed in equal parts and sprinkled with dried ghostvine blossoms. This, she claimed, would allow me to right my soul and mend my heart, bringing me fully to the potential I had heretofore been missing.

:She crafted this blend and sent me on my way with the admonition I drink one teabowl of it daily and return for a reading when I ran out.

:I have returned thrice so far, as I feel remarkably better and more in balance than I have in years. My health has improved, and I have begun my training as a librarian, long my desire in life. I started out a true skeptic, and perhaps visiting a te'raithir is not for everyone, but it was the right choice for me.

=== Tempting the Tiles: A Turamzzyrian Tea Mage's Process ===
''This being a first-hand account of Stellate Malficum's experiences, in her own words.''

:In a cramped and dingy shop near the docks of to-be-nameless port town in the Empire, I had my first reading by a tea mage. The cluttered interior was as a far cry from the serenity of such places that exist in Atan Irith, based on Isienaka's tales, but this is to be expected, given the outcast status most had in the Empire for so long. There were bowls of tiles crammed alongside dusty books and tins of tea leaves, and in another room, my tea mage's husband, a Fishmonger's Wife, consulted quietly with one of his patrons. Indeed, the entire shop was a multi-functional family establishment. The front room welcomed customers, selling baked goods and teas, with the tea mage and tile-reading rooms just off to the side. In the rear, off the kitchen, a cousin sold her catches of the day, and upstairs, the whole family resided -- the husbands, a cousin and his wife and young child, and a veritable herd of cats (ever thoughtful, Isienaka brought several common teadragons with him, and I gifted my tea mage with one after my reading; he was appreciative of this reminder of a home shore he had not yet seen but worried how the cats may take the lizardly intruder. He need not have worried; when I returned to interview friends and family, I found it had quickly established itself as head of the cats, ruling the roost with adorable chirrups and purrs).

:Ah, but my experience! I tried hard to ensure my natural seer abilities would not interfere with whatever workings my tea mage had in store for me, and I opened myself to the experience. First, we talked. He sat me at a table, peppering me with questions about myself and my needs. Eventually, we decided divining for a tea to assist me in my work would be best. I have been stymied in my quest to learn more of divination techniques when applied to Naidem, and it was on my mind as we were close to being able to return for 5125.

:Some tea mages only have one set of tiles, mine told me, but he was a collector and believed in different sets for different people. Thus, he spent a bit of time divining which bowl of tiles to use. Finally, he pulled out a battered chest filled with worn ivory tiles. The designs and symbols were once of bright hue, I could tell, but the reds and greens and yellows had faded. It was his mother's set, he explained. She was a Fishmongers' Wife with a long family history of the practice, and the tiles had been passed down through several generations. She had fallen in love with an erithi te'raithir, and they melded their divination and their lives together. When it was clear their son shared their gifts, she passed her precious tiles on to him.

:Tiles in front of him, my tea mage lit several sticks of incense and studied them intently. At last, he closed his eyes and pulled forth three tiles -- a six-pipped tile etched with a crimson dragon, a tile demarcated with a single diagonal slash, and finally, a single-pipped yellow rose tile. According to him, the combination of these meant I was seeking with intent but needed a better focus. From there, he extrapolated that I would need a tea designed to increase my focus without interfering with my own Sight. He provided a blend of rosemary, blackberry leaves, and laentesa<ref>As an interesting side note, the word for tea in Elven, Erithi, Inyexi, and Gnomish are all very similar (tesat, te, and ti), and all cultures tend to use the Common, 'tea', just as often as their own language's word. It is believed among erithi scholars that the commonality ties back to what is known as the Scholar's Tongue. We hypothesize that "tea" is actually their term for it, and it became ubiquitous across numerous races and cultures.</ref>, the Nalfein pan-roasted green tea.

:He did give me enough for several months, but he admonished me to seek out another reading if I felt my circumstances had changed or if I needed more tea.

:I must admit, the drinking of the tea has brought me great comfort, but I have not felt any different with my gift, nor has my research taken any greater strides. The actual ritual of meeting with a tea mage was much the same -- a pleasant experience, but not much else.

:Let me be clear, however, this does not mean it is not a valid form of divination. Seer-seeking is at the best of times a fickle and contrary mistress, and this is a field that needs more study. These groups, the tea mages and Fishmongers' Wives, both seem to take their craft seriously, and while there may be a bad apple or two here and there, the goal is not charlatanism but helping people, and to that end, I will happily drink my tea and open my inner eye to its possibilities.

''On Tiles:'' While some tiles may be newer and made specifically for tea mages, these are still most often tiles of Fishmongers' Wives. As previously noted in other works, these tiles vary from practitioner to practitioner, as do the meanings. There are card-like varieties, with four suits and roughly ten numerals. However, in other areas, they are color-coded or symbol-coded and often include up to twelve pips.

Most tiles are made of bone from whatever animal was available, with cherished sets being ivory (and very rarely gemstone). As the awareness of tea mages rises, so too does the commerce of these tiles. Fishmongers' Wives and Empire tea mages are bombarded with requests for selling their personal sets, and since all to a person refuse, artisans have taken it upon themselves to craft new ones for sale to non-practitioners. In a few port cities, the nobility have taken to commissioning elaborate sets made of precious gems and metals, and some seers will provide inspiration for designs for the right price.

|'''A Note on the Scholar's Tongue:''' Thought to be a coded language used by scholars across several races and/or knowledge-based guilds to communicate, the scholar's tongue<ref>Debate on whether this is a language requiring capitalization rages amidst the grammatically inclined, so you will see both Scholar's Tongue and scholar's tongue, among other names, such as lorespeak or lore language.</ref> remains mostly a mystery, even to modern day scholars. If there are guilds that still know the ancient techniques (and one must believe there are), it is kept a closely guarded secret still. However, there are a few extant examples, such as "raen utuva nole" (wandering to find wisdom)<ref>Found in [[History of Dwarves]] by [[Lutiernse Angalamor Illistim]]</ref> and "igno skaellim" (identity unknown)<ref>As written in [[Lines of Blood: A History of the Gnomes]], a scholarly dissertation on forest and burghal gnomes</ref>, peppered throughout history documents.

How this influences the word for tea in Erithi is a cause for debate. Some see it as proof that the erithi originated somewhere in Elanthia and, with Arkati intervention, found themselves in Atan Irith without historical memories. Others feel that perhaps the scholar's tongue is actually influenced by the Arkati themselves, and thus, proof they had some presence on Agan Irith, wherever that may be. In short, theories abound, but answers are lacking.

As an aside, while the erithi may not have a full history with the scholar's tongue, we are no strangers to coded language, especially amongst the tea guilds and traders. It is still the practice for a tea family or guild to code their special blends and processing methods so competitors cannot replicate their uniqueness. One prominent tea guild is known for encoding recipes under the guise of lewd limericks and bawdy sea shanties, while another has created their own floral language to convey their secrets, shipping various flowers and herbs ahead of tea shipments to provide instruction to their factors. One guild has even adopted using the colorful and symbol-filled tiles of a popular erithi game<ref>Satonga is a tile-based game, like dominoes, but with more intricate combinations and using symbols and colors rather than pips. It has numerous variations and is quite popular throughout Atan Irith</ref> as a code.
