[[Cairnfang Manor]], founded by Lady [[Songie Fillee]], was designed to serve [[Solhaven]], her people, her streets and her spirits. With that in mind the Manor strives to always bring fun events to the town of Solhaven, as well as supporting other groups. The Manor holds regular [[#House Hunts|House Hunts]], helps organize community events, and hosts three festivals each year - [[#Winternights|Winternights]], the [[#Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit|Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit]], and the [[#Seafarer's Festival|Seafarer's Festival]].

==About Cairnfang Manor==
====History====
Founded in 2003, Cairnfang Manor was one of the original Player Hall Organizations. It transitioned to a Meeting Hall Organization in 2007 alongside the other PROs. On April 3, 2011, Cairnfang Manor became the newest member of the Cooperative Houses of Elanthia.
====Statement of Purpose====
As our pledge reminds us, our mission is three fold. Unhindered thinking reflects the ability to think clearly and act without prejudice of race, religious affiliation, or profession. Our hands to the community, indicates the work we do to make Solhaven a place where both the young and the aged are served to make life better for all. Our spirits to greater loyalty means we do everything within our power to promote our beloved Solhaven for the good of all, not just the individual or a certain group. We use our minds, talents, and hearts towards a better Solhaven.

[[/Charter|Cairnfang Manor Charter and By-Laws]]
====Symbols====
:Flag: a Cairnfang Manor banner
Framed by long brilliant peacock feathers is a billowing silk banner emblazoned with a royal blue star and an opalescent flame resting in an open hand. As light catches the material of the flame, it reflects a myriad of colors. The words Intellect, Flame, and Spirit are stitched on three of the sides. Carefully stitched below the star in the most eye-catching thread and in flowing script are the words, "Cairnfang Manor."

:Pin: a golden gemstone-set triad
Cut into the image of an open hand is a sparkling diamond, its palm inlaid with a fiery ruby and scribed with the word, "Flame." Beside it is a sapphire shard in the shape of a slender banner inlaid with a silver star and the word, "Intellect." The final gem of this triad is a vibrant peacock feather cut from a multi-hued stone set with an emerald eye. Gold foil fills the word, "Spirit" etched along the length of the shaft. Each of the carved gems is secured with thin golden bands to a wide metal pin.
====Meetings====
Cairnfang Manor's monthly meeting is held on the second Restday of every month at 8pm EST. The meetings are held in the Cairnfang Manor Meeting Room. Monthly meetings are open to the public; non-members interested in attending may request an escort from a current member or via the Realm ESP channel while in Solhaven.

==Events==
Cairnfang Manor hosts three festivals each year. Songie, who was instrumental in founding Cairnfang Manor, hosted several events in Solhaven shortly after it opened up at the end of 1998. Some of those events are the foundation of current Cairnfang Manor festivals and traditions.

The first Snowball was hosted by Songie just after Solhaven opened up its trade routes to Wehnimer's Landing at the end of 5098, in the winter of early 5099. It became an annual tradition in Solhaven, and eventually Cairnfang Manor expanded beyond it to what is now [[#Winternights|Winternights]] in 5112. Winternights celebrates the community of Solhaven and invites all Solhaven organizations to participate.

The first [[#Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit|Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit]] was also hosted by Songie in late 5100, under the name of the Solhaven Academy of Art Grande Exhibit. Several years later, Cairnfang Manor resurrected the event under its new name, the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit, and has been its formal host since. In 5119, the first additional workshop was introduced to the Art Exhibit, expanding it beyond the central judging event. The Grand Art Exhibit partners with a wide variety organizations that are willing to focus on the visual arts.

The first [[#Seafarer's Festival|Seafarer's Festival]] was hosted by Cairnfang Manor in 5103, shortly after it was officially recognized as an organization. As the Manor's flagship festival, Cairnfang Manor takes the lead on events during it while partnering with other organizations that have ties to the seafaring community.

===House Hunts===
On the third Restday (Sunday) of every month, Cairnfang Manor organizes a monthly hunt for house members and non-members alike. The hunt begins in North Market at 10pm EST, after which the location and target of the hunt will be chosen based on the skill level of that month's attendees. Spells and bounty tasks are shared among those attending.

==Seafarer's Festival==
Dating back to 5103, the annual Seafarer's Festival celebrates the life of the port and its seafaring community. Every summer, visitors to Solhaven are invited to join Cairnfang Manor in fun and games inspired by the town's nautical traditions, culminating in a masked ball held at Cairnfang Manor.

The 5125 festival dates are Thurs 7/24 - Sat 7/26.

This event continued every year until 5112 when Cairnfang Manor extended the festivities into the annual Winternights. Every year, organizations local to Solhaven are invited to take part in the mid-winter festivities by hosting games and events, concluding with the traditional Snowball and occasionally a snowball fight. Escorts will be provided to all events from Solhaven's North Market for those unfamiliar with the city.

==Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit==
The 2025 Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit will run May 7 through May 13.

The first Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit was held in 5100 by the Lady Songie Fillee. The event was intended to celebrate art as well as the community of Solhaven, which had recently reopened trade with the northern frontier. Songie later established Cairnfang Manor and was its first Chairwoman, spearheading efforts to foster the rapidly growing community by her own actions. Cairnfang Manor gladly continues this now-annual tradition of the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit, showcasing works from artists across Elanthia while partnering with other organizations to run workshop events throughout the weeklong exhibit.

The theme of this year's Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit focuses on what '''Home Is...'''

Home can mean many different things depending on the context. Home is a place, or a time, or even a special group of people chosen to be as family. For those artists pursuing an adventuring lifestyle, home is often a respite - a place to rest, recover, and find rejuvenation before their next escapade or their next great work. For some, home is in the past, which has slipped by like the sands of time. For others, it is in the future, a hope or a dream of what might be. And for others still, home is the community that they have built alongside others, a shared vision carefully painted unto reality. The Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit looks homeward this year, and it invites artists across Elanthia to share just what ''Home Is...'' to each and every one.

====Submission Information====
Paintings, drawings, sculptures, and any other physical artwork are acceptable. (Poetry, writing, performances, etc. should be saved for other performance-based events.) The pieces submitted will be judged upon their subject matter, creativity, overall presentation, and relevancy to the Exhibit's theme, so choose something that is of interest to you and give it your all! While subject matter lies in the hands of the creator, we ask that submissions be suitable for viewing by audiences of mixed ages.

All artwork must be submitted in a manner that follows standard {{boldmono|ALTER}} guidelines: 15/15/15 to describe the piece (i.e. a carved,linden-framed,painting), plus a show description for the artwork being displayed taking up no more than 511 characters, including punctuation and double spaces between sentences. An additional long description for the artwork is optional and should be kept fairly short if included. This will ensure all items follow a standard pattern and make for ease in displaying them. In addition, please include the full name of the artist submitting the work as well as a title, if it has one; the artist's name and title do NOT need to be part of the artwork's show description.

Any artwork that does not follow these rules will not be displayed. Some artwork may have minor changes prior to display per QC. See [https://www.sphericalowl.com/gs/alterations.html Owly's Super Useful GemStoneIV Alteration Template] for formatting guidance. Artwork may be preserved as part of Cairnfang Manor's archives on the wiki.

'''Submission Example:'''
<pre{{log2}}>
a linden-framed,charcoal,portrait
Perfectly shaped linden blossoms have been etched into a light-toned frame surrounding a simple group portrait. A small scene of a group of adventures standing by a linden tree has been lovingly rendered in charcoal on smooth paper. The design of the sketch is rather crude and rough by most standards, however certain details of the group are meticulously rendered. It is clear that they are of different races, ages, and come from many walks of life.

All pieces of artwork should be submitted to cairnfangmanor@gmail.com by no later than end of day on '''Friday, March 21, 2025'''. When submitting your piece, please make sure the subject mentions Art Exhibit, that you list the name of the artist submitting the piece, the title of the piece, and the full text description of the artwork. Multiple submissions by a single person (character OR player) are not allowed. Any questions can be sent to the same email address.

Artwork will go on display in Solhaven starting with the Exhibit's Opening Ceremony event and lasting for a full week. Winners will be announced at the Exhibit's Best in Show Awards event. Prizes are awarded to the Best in Show, Second Place, and Third Place entries.

==Frequently Asked Questions==
===How much does SimuCon cost?===
Attendance badges have previously cost $40 when purchased in advance. Tickets are available at the door, but will be more expensive. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

=== Where do I sign up?===

Ticketing will likely be handled via the play.net Box Office when available. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!

===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===

SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2025 Schedule|2025 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.

===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===

SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.

===What equipment should I bring? ===

Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.

===Will I need a car?===

Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.

===What is the weather typically like?===

Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather

===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===

Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.

===What should I wear?===

SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.

=== Is there a pool?===

YES, pack your bathing suit! The Sheraton Westport Plaza has an indoor pool, and their sister property the Sheraton Westport Chalet has an outdoor pool. The Chalet's outdoor pool is very close and is a popular day time destination for attendees. All facilities at both hotels are available to any guest staying at either hotel. There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any. It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.

==Visitor Information==

While the host hotel may very, it is usually held at one of the many convention spaces at or near the Westport Plaza.

==Frequently Asked Questions==
===How much does SimuCon cost?===
Attendance badges cost $40 when purchased in advance. Tickets are available at the door, but will be more expensive. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

=== Where do I sign up?===

Ticketing will likely be handled via the play.net Box Office when available. Please see the [[#Ticketing|Ticketing]] section for more details.

===Who organizes SimuCon?===

Typically GameMasters from Gemstone IV and DragonRealms are the official organizers. However, many players pitch in to plan unofficial events or to offer support. All work is strictly volunteer, so please be sure to thank your organizer team!

===What is it like to attend a SimuCon?===

SimuCon is a gathering of players and GameMasters for Simutronics games, including Gemstone IV and DragonRealms. The convention includes several events, as listed in the [[#2024 Schedule|2024 Schedule]], that are planned by both players and staff. In-between events, attendees typically gather at conference tables similar to a large LAN party to play. Board games and other activities are frequently available as well.

===How many people attend SimuCon and when do they show up?===

SimuCon has experienced a growth spurt over the past three years or so. A current rough estimate would be 100 attendees (GS and DR combined) over the course of the weekend. The main convention days are Thursday through Sunday, although several people arrive on Wednesday and stay through Monday. The convention room is typically setup by Wednesday evening.

===What equipment should I bring? ===

Bring your laptop/computer so that you can play Gemstone during the convention. Internet access and power strips are typically provided. '''Note:''' It is not recommended that you leave your equipment unattended in the conference room.

===Will I need a car?===

Many attendees never leave the hotel. However if you are planning to explore St. Louis, a car is recommended as public transportation options are slim. Lyft and Uber are both operational in St. Louis and are ideal for single trips. For any excursions listed in the schedule, carpool options may be available. A shuttle may be available to and from your hotel for airport travel, but don't forget to bring cash for a tip!

===Is SimuCon family friendly?===

In general, yes. Some attendees do bring children but activities in the convention room may be of limited interest to them. Note the [[#Attractions|Attractions]] section listed below for additional kid-friendly activities available in St. Louis. Please expect to encounter explicit language and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which will increase in the late night hours.

===What is the weather typically like?===

Missouri is nicknamed "Misery" for its hot and humid summers. For a current local forecast, click here: https://www.ksdk.com/weather

===Do I need to bring food or beverages?===

Depending on funds available, basic snacks will be provided. You are generally on your own for meals and can purchase food at the grocery or restaurant options listed in the [[#Dining.2FEating|Dining/Eating]] section. SimuCon is strictly BYOB. Alcohol can be purchased in most grocery stores and gas stations in Missouri.

===What should I wear?===

SimuCon is casual attire unless the schedule for a specific event indicates otherwise. Some events may encourage costumes or themed attire.

=== Is there a pool?===

YES, pack your bathing suit! The Sheraton Westport Plaza has an indoor pool, and their sister property the Sheraton Westport Chalet has an outdoor pool. The Chalet's outdoor pool is very close and is a popular day time destination for attendees. All facilities at both hotels are available to any guest staying at either hotel. There is even a poolside bar with snacks and beverages (open Friday through Sunday), and towel service is available. It is recommended that you pack sunscreen ahead of time, because the hotel and nearby shops do not stock any. It is also recommended that you bring pool noodles, because pool noodles are wicked cool.

==Visitor Information==
The convention is typically held in the St. Louis area, home of Simutronic's headquarters. While the host hotel may very, it is usually held at one of the many convention spaces at or near the Westport Plaza. For specific details on the official hotel, please see the below accommodations list. Also below are some nearby shops and other information for visitors. All distances calculated from the host hotel.

'''Magister Raelee Anza Svala''' is a [[human]] [[wizard]] and member of the [[Hall_of_Mages | Imperial Hall of Mages]] from the [[Chastonia | Earldom of Chastonia]], active in [[Solhaven]] and elsewhere across the continent of [[Elanith]] from 5103 until the present.

==History==
===Early History===
Raelee was born in Lormesta of 5082 in The Swale as the youngest child and only daughter of Grand Magister Redomer Svala III. After demonstrating sufficient potential at a very young age, Raelee began a vigorous program of academics to prepare her to begin her education at the Hall of Mages. Once deemed ready, she began her education in elemental magic at the College of the Hall of Mages in The Swale. At the age of fourteen, Raelee completed the necessary work for her basic certification and registration as a user of elemental magic and continued on to a more advanced track with the goal of joining the ranks of the Magisters as the prior three generations of her paternal ancestors did. Before she began, Raelee arranged to transfer her enrollment to the college located in [[Elstreth]], citing that the degree of supervision she was under in The Swale was constraining her academic progress.

Able to fully dedicate herself to her studies without interference, Raelee flourished in Elstreth. In 5101, after five years of study in Elstreth, Raelee began a sabbatical, citing a desire to travel and broaden her education beyond of the confines at the Hall. Though the exact catalyst for her decision remains unknown, rumors suggested it might relate to the arrest of several members of a local cell of the [[Orders_of_the_Turamzzyrian_Empire#The_Erudites_of_Fash.27lo.27nae | Erudites of Fash'lo'nae]] following an experiment gone awry. Raelee began journeying northward up the Imperial coast, spending a year in [[Tamzyrr]] before continuing north to [[Vornavis]] and pausing her travels in the town of Solhaven in 5103.

==Appearance==
:You see Magister Raelee Svala the Scholar of the Hall of Mages.
:She appears to be a Human from Chastonia.
:She is shorter than average and has a small-boned build. She appears to have come of age. She has distant, gold-flecked snow white eyes and milky white skin. She has long, loosely ringleted copper red hair. She has a slender, porcelain-like countenance, made more striking by the rounded angles of her face.
:She has a quartet of tiny glyphs tattooed vertically along the inside of her left forearm, a pale pattern of gold lines and sigils tattooed up her right arm, an inky black sigil on her wrist, and a complex gold circular tattoo on the back of her right hand.

==Scholarship==
In her professional academic career, Raelee is both an accomplished author and lecturer. She is responsible for many notable works of scholarship:

* [[Solhaven anti-magic (essay) | A Survey of Notable Magical and Anti-Magical Phenomena within Solhaven, Vornavis and Surrounding Lands]] (5115, Modern Era)
* [[Mist Harbor Library Lectures - 2020-11-21 - On Temporal Magic (log)]] (5120, Modern Era)

* [[2024-01-25 A Discourse on the Arkati of Knowledge (log)]] (5124, Modern Era, presented with Issiah for [[The Order of Eternal Light]])

==Vignettes==
Coming soon!

==Familiar==
In her years working in and around Solhaven and Wehnimer's Landing, Raelee's local presence can often be recognized by the presence of her familiar: a pale-faced coppery barn owl.

Physically, the owl is a typical male barn owl specimen. However, he is more more overtly friendly and social with people than one might expect of an owl. In addition, the owl has a penchant for eating sugary pastries, particularly muffins. Yet, the owl appears to suffer no ill-effects from such an unusual diet, perhaps due to his magical nature as a wizard's familiar.

Officially, the owl does not have a name. However, many of the citizens of the towns Raelee frequents have dubbed him with the simple moniker of "Owly."

JADZIABLUE: /* List of Player Guildmasters */ - Adding link to Raelee's from her name in the guildmaster list

<div class="alert alert-info"><center>'''Wednesday nights are [[Guild#Guild Nights|Guild Nights]]'''</center></div>
'''The Wizard's Guild''' is a sanctuary for the further study and training of a [[wizard]], which skills and spells alone cannot provide.

=== Skills ===

* [[FLICK (verb)|Flick]]
:A cantrip used to produce any common item from a worn container. The item must weigh two pounds or less and may not be scripted ([[gem]]s and [[wand]]s are applicable, but food is not).

:(Flick is not actually a "guild skill", but a special verb available specifically to wizards who are members of the guild.)

* [[Alchemy]]
:Composed of three individual guild skill categories, the practice of Alchemy allows the creation of a wide range of magical items, some of which are only available through Alchemy, and others which are also available in shops or via the treasure system.

::These skills are categorized as follows:
:::* [[General Alchemy]] - which concerns itself with the creation of generic alchemical products that are available to all four Alchemist professions, including healing tinctures, mana potions, and ayanad type crystals, among others. It should be noted that General Alchemy is considered the 'master' among these skills, and it is not possible to advance beyond your rank in General Alchemy in either of the other skill categories.

:::* [[wizard potions|Wizard Potions]] - which concerns itself with the creation of liquids which, when poured or drunk, will impart the benefit of a range of Wizard spells, such as defensive spells, [[Elemental Blade (411)]], among others. Potions used for [[Enchant (925)|enchanting]] are also made in Potions training.

:::* [[wizard trinkets|Wizard Trinkets]] - which concerns itself with the creation of solids which, when waved or rubbed or otherwise activated, will impart the benefit of a range of Wizard spells, such as [[Strength (509)|white crystals]], [[Minor Fire (906)|golden wands]], among others.

=== Requirements and Benefits ===

Wizards level 15 and above can join the guild.

Wizards who are a member of the Guild gain access to a special Guild amunet channel.

When advancing through the training ranks, wizards can receive [[experience]] and [[fame]] for completed tasks and promotion to higher ranks.

Promotion to Guildmaster status requires mastery of General Alchemy and a total of 125 skill ranks; once meeting this requirement, the presence of 2 other members who have also met the requirement (whether they are currently a Guildmaster or eligible for promotion themselves) is necessary to execute the promotion. Player Guildmasters can gain [[experience]] and [[fame]] for checking in other Guild members (must be inactive or required to check in in the next 10 days) or for promoting other Guild members to higher ranks. Guildmasters need to drop by the guild once a month - if they don't they'll receive a warning after a month, followed by loss of status after three.

=== Fees ===

It costs 4500 silvers to join the guild, and 1500 per month. You may pay up to three months (90 days) in advance.

Player Guildmasters must check in each month, but pay no fees.

=== Locations ===

* [[Wizard Guild (Icemule Trace)]] - Through a mithril gate on Demons Lane near TC (see map).

* [[Wizard Guild (Kraken's Fall)]] - Located at the intersection of Mantle's Landing and Cranial Crawl, the entrance is the flickering portal and access involves a language puzzle.

* [[Wizard Guild (Kharam Dzu)]] - Located at the very south end of Dragonspine on the east side of town.

* [[Wizard Guild (Mist Harbor)]] - Located in a marble castle on Sea Turtle Lane, Eastern Harbor (#19359). Note--you cannot "go castle" to enter the guild; if you LOOK at the CASTLE, you can see that it has an arched door, so you GO DOOR to enter.

* [[Wizard Guild (River's Rest)]] - Located south of South River Road outside of town, near the Guardians of Sunfist outpost, through a pair of ivy-covered gates.

* [[Wizard Guild (Ta'Illistim)]] - Located through a rounded archway on Moonglae Var, near the airship docks.

* [[Wizard Guild (Ta'Vaalor)]] - There is a faint outline of a doorway on the exterior wall of Guardian Keep at the southern end of Amaranth Court. Instructions for entry are written on the door in elven. To enter, use directed speech in Wizard Guild speech to say to the door, "Wizard."

* [[Wizard Guild (Wehnimer's Landing)]] - Located down a broad path in the shadow of [[Melgorehn's Reach]] outside of town.

* [[Wizard Guild (Zul Logoth)]] - Located through a crystal-inset dark mithril arch in the Ametrine Tunnel.

Solhaven does not have a Wizard Guild at this time. Neither does Cysaegir.

The following was a part of the Mist Harbor Library lecture series, where [[Raelee (prime)|Raelee Svala]] took her second turn as the guest speaker. This was presented on on 1/7/5124. The lecture discussed both formal and informal logic, and demonstrates how logic can accompany the study of magic.

This log has been edited to remove excess noise and chatter.

----

[Library, Meeting Hall - 29806] (u3223132) 
A trio of wide stairs lead down from a wide archway into this brightly lit room. A small podium stands atop a small dais opposite the archway, and several cushioned benches have been arranged throughout the space, each offering an excellent line of sight. A number of elliptical windows line the walls of the hall, and a rich crimson-patterned carpet covers the entirety of the floor underfoot. You also see the Murfey disk, the web-draped Missoni disk, the hammered silver Meliyara disk and a small table with some stuff on it.

Obvious exits: none

Rohese graciously greets, "Good afternoon everyone and a happy new year."

Rohese softly begins, "As the Library's Loremaster, it gives me great pleasure to once again welcome you to another in our lecture series -- now entering its fourth year!"

Rohese softly says, "I see many familiar faces and quite a few new ones."

Rohese nods approvingly.

Speaking to Rohese, Kothos says, "Congratulations on this momentous anniversary, my friend. Loremaster indeed."

Rohese softly says, "Forgive me if you've heard me this before but it doesn't hurt to repeat ..."

Rohese brightly explains, "As I'm sure you are all aware by now, the aim is to provide a platform for imparting knowledge and encouraging discussion."

Rohese smiles.

Rohese gently reminds, "I ask that everyone be considerate to our speaker, as well as those who comment or ask questions."

Rohese wrinkles her nose.

Rohese softly continues, "All opinions are welcome and indeed encouraged, as long as they are courteously expressed."

Rohese excitedly says, "I am especially delighted that our speaker agreed to return and bring in the new year with flair ... or flare."

Rohese softly says, "So without further ado, please give the Magister a warm Library welcome."

Rohese beams at Raelee and claps her hands together in delight!

(Raelee calmly steps up to the podium and takes a position behind it.)

Raelee clearly announces, "Today we are going to discuss a subject that should be at the root of all inquiry, at the root of all attempts to understand the world around us..."

Raelee continues, "...and a subject that in my experience, should be relied upon far more often than it is..."

Raelee bluntly states, "Logic."

Raelee asks, "Define logic? One of you?"

Delindra raises her hand.

Raelee nods at Delindra.

Delindra hesitantly offers, "Reasonableness?"

Raelee echoes, "Reasonableness."

Raelee says, "To elaborate on that..."

Raelee says, "When we describe logic as a science, it can be defined as the study of the principles of correct reasoning or inference."

Raelee says, "When we describe logic as a tool that we use in inquiry, it is a *method* of reasoning or argumentation."

Raelee clearly asks, "And why is logic important in academic inquiry and the pursuit of knowledge?"

Raelee quickly adds, "... and that is a rhetorical question. I am not actually seeking commentary."

Raelee says, "I value the practice of logic so highly because it provides a pathway to formulate correct arguments and correct conclusions without interference by *subjective* influences such as emotion or our personal desires."

Raelee says, "Thus today, I aim to provide you with an introduction to logic as a branch of philosophy as well as demonstrate how it can be applied in inquiry."

Raelee explains, "At the highest level, logic can be divided into two categories: formal and informal."

Raelee says, "There are many ways to describe the difference between these two forms."

Raelee says, "Formal logic evaluates the structure of an argument, informal logic evaluates the content of the argument."

Raelee says, "Or... formal logic takes an argument, converts the content into symbols, and then evaluates that argument according to rigid rules, whereas informal logic utilizes our natural language, acknowledges context and ambiguity, and ultimately can be described as 'everyday reasoning.'."

Raelee explains, "In our day-to-day studies and activities, we are far more likely to engage in informal logic... unless the activity at hand is actually mathematics or a practice that leverages formulae such as the physical or alchemical sciences."

Raelee adds, "... I should note, however, the underpinning of informal logic is the formal form."

Raelee says, "And despite how a thorough command of formal logic can greatly increase one's effective use of informal logic, I am not going to spend much time on the formal today."

Raelee flatly says, "I have been informed that it is a very dry topic, though I do not understand why it is seen as such..."

Raelee narrows her eyes.

Raelee shakes her head, totally at a loss.

(Raelee makes a brief beckoning gesture towards a library assistant. Moments later, the assistant rolls a slate board in, leaving it beside the podium.)

Raelee gives a slight flick of her wrist, and some long translucent chalk suddenly appears in her hand!

Raelee continues, "There are many branches of formal logic... And while my favorite to study is epistemic logic, I am going to introduce propositional logic today instead."

Raelee says, "Propositional logic is, arguably, the simplest form of formal logic."

Raelee says, "This is a very early form of logical study as well - we see examples of it in early Kannalan scholarship, ancient Elven scholarship, and so forth. To my knowledge, the Erithians also separately built a very similar foundation to their own logical scholarship."

Raelee says, "It utilizes propositions, which are statements that are either true or false... and logical operators, such as 'and', 'or', or 'not', to combine and manipulate those propositions."

(Raelee chalks the equation 'C = A ^ B' on the slate board in a quick, but neat hand.)

Raelee says, "Written representations of formal logical arguments do often resemble algebraic equations, in truth."

Raelee says, "Alternatively, one might say algebraic forms follow the path of formal logic and its symbolic language."

(Raelee taps the slate board with a knuckle, as if reinforcing the point.)

Raelee says, "Now, let us take two statements:"

Raelee states, "The fire is burning."

Raelee states, "I am warm."

Raelee says, "We can combine these two statements and say... the fire is burning and I am warm."

Raelee says, "Our first statement, the fire is burning, is symbolized by the letter A in this example. Our second statement, I am warm, is symbolized by the letter B."

Raelee says, "As one might guess, C symbolizes the combined statement."

Raelee says, "And this symbol here," She indicates the '^' symbol on the board with a pointed finger, "represents the conjunction 'and'."

Raelee says, "What this formula means is that C, our combined statement, is only true if both A and B are true."

Raelee says, "The truth of the statement 'the fire is burning and I am warm' relies upon it being true that the fire is burning and it also being true that I am warm."

(Raelee chalks another equation onto the board, below the first: ((A = B) ^ (A=C)) followed by an arrow pointing rightwards towards (B=C).)

Raelee states, "If A equals B and A equals C, then B equals C."

Rohese whimpers.

Raelee surreptitiously glances at Rohese.

Raelee says, "And we can continue to build. We have a symbolic language that covers all manner of conditions such as and, or, if, necessity, possibility, syntactically entails, semantically entails, the negation of both of those, and so forth."

Raelee says, "Thus, we can illustrate complex arguments in this symbolic language and utilize that to prove or disprove their validity."

Kothos says, "Logic is when the conditions are balanced in the argument."

Speaking to Kothos, Raelee says, "Succinctly put."

Raelee says, "Now, I did promise that I would not spend much time on formal logic."

(Raelee shakes her head briefly.)

Raelee says, "... but before I continue on to the informal, I am going to veer away from fact and into opinion."

(Delindra absently pulls a torn piece of parchment out and scribbles something on it with a quill, squinting back and forth between the slate board and her handwriting.)

Delindra works her fingers under her green leather hat and scratches her head.

Raelee says, "As I previously mentioned, we can see the development of these structures occurring separately in ancient scholarship. The Elves and the Erithians were able to develop very similar systems without much known contact or collaboration. We also see this phenomenon in ancient mathematical development."

Raelee says, "I believe that there is likely great meaning in the fact that separate people, separate cultures are able to come to these same conclusions... that these rules are able to be found by any who are looking for them."

Raelee says, "To me, that speaks to the universal truth in logic... or mathematics for that matter."

(Raelee appears lost in thought briefly, and for a fleeting moment she looks almost wistful.)

Raelee schools her face into a neutral expression.

Raelee continues, "... and now on to where I intend to dwell for the next chapter of this lecture: informal logic."

Raelee explains, "Informal logic is the logic we tend to leverage in our everyday lives, whether in argumentation or decision making."

Raelee states, "These are our critical thinking skills."

Raelee says, "Returning to my previous example of 'the fire is burning' and 'I am warm' - if I am too warm, informal logic may lead to a thought process such as..."

Raelee states, "I am too warm because I am near the fire, thus I should move away from the fire."

Raelee asks, "It seems... logical, no?"

Raelee raises an eyebrow.

Yukito signals, "A person could also be suffering from hypothermia. And not feel warm."

Daevian looks over at Raelee and shakes his head.

Kothos says, "It does depend on the rest of the argument."

Daevian nods at Kothos.

Raelee says, "And I shall proceed to the rest of the argument, of course."

Speaking to Kothos, Daevian says, "That was my disagreement with it being logical."

Speaking to Yukito, Raelee says, "Hypothermia, as you suggest, would fall under the category of counterarguments. Which is amongst the nine points of constructing a valid argument."

Yukito nods politely at Raelee.

(Raelee begins visibly counting on her fingers, raising one in turn with each stated component.)

Rohese incredulously murmurs, "Nine."

Rohese takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of her nose.

Raelee clearly says, "We begin with premises."

Ordim mouths, "Oh boy!"

Raelee says, "A premise is a statement in an argument which is accepted to be true for the purpose of the argument and does not need to be proven in context. One such unstated premise in the aforementioned argument might be, 'Fire is warm.'."

Raelee says, "At times, a premise may also be referred to as a given or a given statement."

Raelee says, "In short - these are established facts."

Raelee says, "The fire is burning. Fire is warm. I am too warm."

Raelee continues, "We, of course, end with conclusions."

Raelee states, "I should move away from the fire."

Raelee says, "The rest of the component parts are utilized in reaching the conclusion from the given premises."

Raelee states, "Inference or reasoning."

Raelee says, "This the process we follow to connect these two things. It explains how the evidence in the premises leads to the acceptance or support of the conclusion."

Raelee says, "If fire is warm, and I am warm, perhaps my proximity to the fire is the cause."

Raelee states, "Supporting evidence."

Raelee says, "This consists of facts, examples, data, or other information that reinforces the truth or likelihood of the premises. This is everything we know about the nature of fire and practical examples of that knowledge."

Raelee says, "... such as the effect fire has upon a kettle of water for tea."

Raelee says, "If fire can increase the temperature of water... perhaps it can also increase my own temperature."

Raelee states, "Assumptions."

Raelee says, "These are unstated or implicit premises that are taken for granted but not explicitly mentioned in the argument."

Raelee says, "Such as, we may be assuming the fire is the source of the warmth and not some internal magical process, for example."

The air around Raelee shimmers in a mirage, waves of invisible heat radiating off of her.

Raelee says, "Which is, of course, possible."

Raelee states, "Counterarguments."

Raelee says, "These are not required and may not be used in all cases, but these are opposing viewpoints or objections that may be raised against the argument. Addressing counterarguments strengthens the argument by demonstrating awareness of potential challenges and providing responses to them."

Speaking to Yukito, Raelee says, "Perhaps one might suggest hypothermia, which can be refuted by saying our subject has not been exposed to extreme cold."

Yukito nods at Raelee.

Raelee says, "Or given that the conclusion we are arguing towards is the necessity of moving away from the fire..."

Raelee says, "Perhaps one could suggest extinguishing the fire instead - but then remark that some heat from the fire is necessary and we would be too cold in its absence. Thus, it is more logical to simply reduce our proximity to it."

Raelee states, "Structure."

Raelee says, "This is how we arrange our other components into valid deductive reasoning."

Raelee elaborates, "If we revert back to formal logic for a moment, this is where all of our defined operators come into play. And, or, if, because, and so forth..."

(Raelee clearly enunciates as she mentions various logical operators.)

Raelee says, "I am too warm *because* I am near the fire. Thus, *if* I move away from the fire, I will be less warm."

Raelee states, "Rhetorical devices."

Raelee says, "These are methods to increase the effectiveness of one's argument. They may include analogies, metaphors, or emotional appeals, all designed to persuade."

Raelee mentions, "I prefer to not rely upon these in my own formation of argument, but one might say that is merely my own opinion on method."

Speaking quietly to her well-aged whiskey, Murfey says, "I think I'm going to need more of you for this."

Speaking quietly to Murfey, Kothos says, "It does provide a certain elasticity for these subjects..."

Raelee says, "The necessity of rhetoric is often weighed upon the purpose of the argument - if one intends to persuade, it is useful. If one is evaluating evidence, it may cause deviation from the truth."

Rohese confusedly ponders, "Does the wearing of a blanket introduce a new variable?"

Speaking to Rohese, Raelee says, "It could."

Rohese beams!

Rohese brightly whispers aloud, "I think I understand this!"

Rohese claps her hands together in delight!

Speaking to Rohese, Murfey asks, "Is the blanket on fire?"

Speaking to Rohese, Raelee says, "Even more than you realize, likely. These are principles you likely leverage every day."

Rohese laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement from Murfey.

Raelee states, "Lastly, clarity and precision."

Speaking loudly to Rohese, Delindra whispers aloud, "She's such a good teacher!"

Raelee explains, "Ambiguity can weaken an argument, thus precision in language is essential to a well-constructed argument."

Rohese nods enthusiastically at Delindra!

Raelee surreptitiously glances at Delindra.

Delindra clasps her hand over her mouth.

Raelee says, "I am too warm, thus I should move over there."

Raelee says, "We are now missing the cause and effect due to lack of specificity surrounding reason."

Speaking to Raelee, Kothos says, "They fade into assumptions."

Speaking to Kothos, Raelee says, "Precisely."

(Raelee pauses for a moment, glancing about the room. She then drops her hands into a more relaxed position, curling her previously raised eight fingers and thumb into them.)

Raelee suggests, "Now, provide me with some examples of use of informal logic in the course of pursuit of knowledge?"

Raelee glances expectantly around the room.

Delindra raises her hand.

Raelee nods at Delindra.

Delindra hesitantly suggests, "Forming a hypothesis and testing it?"

(Rohese tentatively raises her hand for a moment then lowers it again.)

Speaking to Delindra, Raelee says, "Yes. Logic is leveraged in that process, both in the formation and in the proving."

Speaking quietly to Delindra, Kothos says, "Experiments."

Speaking to Rohese, Raelee says, "I did see that."

Yukito signals, "Informal... so... um... The books on the shelves should hold a lot of information, therefore I can read them all and become a genius? Everyone says so?"

Speaking to Delindra, Murfey asks, "Isn't a hypotenuse a type of Krynch?"

Speaking to Murfey, Daevian whispers aloud, "Hypothesis, not hypotenuse."

Speaking quietly to Murfey, Delindra admits, "I'm not sure."

Speaking to Murfey, Raelee says, "That is the longest segment in a right triangle, opposite the ninety degree angle."

Speaking to Murfey, Ordim adds, "That was the last lecture actually."

Speaking to Ordim, Murfey says, "That's what I get for missing one."

Raelee says, "And Yukito mentions the idea that books should hold a lot of information, therefore he can read them all and become a genuius."

Daevian says, "Of course, that would depend on what the books are."

Speaking to Yukito, Raelee says, "But that does leave out several variables - such as the quality of information, whether or not they actually hold to what they assumed to do, and the ability of the reader to process and understand that information."

Daevian nods at Raelee.

Yukito agrees with Raelee.

Speaking softly to Yukito, Rohese exclaims, "I had a similar idea!"

Speaking curiously to Raelee, Kothos says, "Measurement, perhaps? So you have a scale for collecting premises."

Speaking to Kothos, Raelee says, "Standards for definition."

Kothos nods at Raelee.

(Raelee rests her hands on the podium again.)

Raelee says, "Carrying on..."

Raelee says, "We might use it in historical inquiry, for example, forming a conclusion about the activities of someone a millennia ago based on what we know of human behavior, existing record, and other evidence at hand."

Speaking to Yukito, Daevian says, "I think it'd be more accurate to say that if you read all the books, you would know more than you knew before you did. Though, there's still variables there..."

Speaking to Daevian, Raelee adds, "... as all books in the established set could, perhaps, only contain information the reader has previously been exposed to, and thus nothing is learned despite the effort."

Speaking to Raelee, Daevian says, "You finished my thought exactly."

Daevian says, "That'd be highly unlikely, though."

Speaking to Daevian, Raelee agrees, "Excellent thought, then."

Raelee says, "The usage does not need to be academic. We might utilize it in the decision making process of purchasing a horse."

Meliyara notes, "Or the author could be biased or incorrect in some way, introducing flaws into the subject matter."

Daevian says, "Even being exposed to the same information you've read before, you could perceive it differently due to experiences since the last time you were exposed to it."

Daevian nods at Raelee.

Raelee says, "I require a horse to travel long distances. This horse is of a breed known for endurance, thus this might be an ideal horse to purchase."

Raelee says, "Many of us are used to making decisions or forming conclusions based on our instinct. It is often said that instinct is the instant form of informal logic - we are acting on numerous unconscious premises that we have come to know the truths of in our lifetimes of experience."

Speaking softly to Raelee, Rohese blurts, "But is it a pretty horse?"

Rohese clasps her hand over her mouth.

Speaking to Rohese, Raelee says, "That is subjective."

Rohese blushes sheepishly to herself.

Raelee says, "Though, we must still take care as instinct can also be drastically influenced by emotion, which can often pull us away from a logical path."

Speaking quietly to Rohese, Kothos says, "Aesthetics play a role, my friend. Agreed."

Raelee says, "... such as subjective, aesthetic qualities."

Raelee glances between Kothos and Rohese.

(Raelee shakes her head faintly.)

Raelee says, "As I have said, the purpose of logic, both in academic inquiry and everyday decision making is to form *correct* arguments based upon truths."

Speaking loudly to Kothos, Delindra whispers aloud, "You helped her make her point perfectly."

Delindra nods approvingly.

(Raelee pauses for a moment and moves away from the podium. She waves a hand over the slate board and releases a small torrent of air, erasing all of the existing chalk from its surface into a cloud of dust.)

Speaking to Delindra, Kothos says, "...yes, I meant to do that."

Kothos flashes a quick grin at Delindra.

Raelee says, "And now I will end this with what some might consider an odd confluence of topics: logic and magic. This is a more detailed attempt to demonstrate usage of both formal and informal logic in the pursuit of a specific study."

Raelee says, "Some might find it ill-fitting that I would speak of these two topics together, as so much of magic is based upon force of will... and the mortal will so often defies logic."

Raelee dryly adds, "... exhaustingly often, really."

Raelee asks, "Yet, there are many patterns in magic, no?"

(Raelee briefly glances about the room, raising both eyebrows as she does.)

Raelee says, "The entire concept of rote magic relies upon us repeating patterns over and over until the mana about us easily folds into them like a well-worn crease in a sheet of parchment."

Kothos says, "Gestures and the verbal components."

Raelee states, "Where patterns exist, logic defines them."

Raelee says, "Alchemy for example, one might say is amongst the best examples of logic applied to magic."

Ordim groans.

Rohese nods enthusiastically at Raelee!

Yukito winces.

Delindra fidgets.

With an empathetic nod, Rohese discreetly takes Yukito's hand in hers and gives it a momentary squeeze.

Raelee dryly asks, "Is this somehow worse than formal logic, now?"

(Delindra appears to be stifling a cringe.)

(Raelee pauses her speech to add another equation to the slate board. It begins with an upwards pointing triangle, then continues with an arrow, some numbers, the letters M and N, a few other symbols, and concludes with an equals sign followed by the letter D.)

Speaking to Raelee, Kothos says, "A sore subject for many, I am sure."

Raelee asks, "Does anyone recognize what this formula represents?"

Raelee glances expectantly around the room.

Meril asks, "Is this one of the alchemical symbols?"

Phanna raises her hand.

Raelee nods at Phanna.

Phanna asks, "Is that extracting a crystal?"

Speaking to Phanna, Raelee says, "It is, yes."

Phanna beams!

Raelee says, "Yes, it is the extraction of what is often colloquially referred to as 'shimmering dust' from an n'ayanad crystal."

Phanna nods thoughtfully.

Yukito stares at Phanna.

Speaking to Meril, Raelee says, "And the triangle does represent fire - we will see it very often in alchemical formulas."

Speaking to Yukito, Phanna whispers aloud, "I spent a lot of time working with alchemy last year."

Raelee says, "We do not often have to consider the logic behind alchemical formulas, or our rote spells, as our predecessors in these practices sorted all of that out generations ago - and we are merely following the path laid for us."

Uniana closes her eyes, leans back her head, and adopts an expression of bored misery.

Raelee says, "Let us consider what these earlier alchemists may have been thinking, though..."

Speaking to Raelee, Kothos says, "Leaving us to simply memorize their successes."

Raelee says, "It is known that if one begins with a n'ayanad crystal, one can reduce it to dust, and re-crystallize it into a cluster of the lesser t'ayanad crystals."

Delindra mumbles, "...how to bore novices into never wanting to practice alchemy ever again..."

Delindra coughs.

Delindra clasps her hand over her mouth.

Speaking to Delindra, Raelee counters, "It might be more appealing with greater understanding of the underlying principles."

Raelee says, "This process can be repeated, creating s'ayanad crystals, and then ayanad crystals. One n'ayanad crystal can ultimately produce eight similarly-sized ayanad crystals."

Raelee asks, "And with that simple eight to one ratio as our given in the formula, surely you can begin to see how early alchemists could begin to make logical inferences and conclusions regarding the effects of different crystal types in alchemical recipes?"

Raelee says, "If an ayanad crystal carries a level of power we shall define as A..."

(Raelee quickly slashes an A onto the slate board with her chalk.)

Raelee continues, "Now consider a mana potion that one can ingest to restore their own internal mana. These are brewed utilizing ayanad crystals."

Raelee asks, "Knowing that an s'ayanad crystal contains twice the power of an ayanad crystal... what is a reasonable inference to make when developing a formula for a stronger mana potion?"

Rohese excitedly whispers aloud, "I understand this!"

Rohese claps her hands together in delight!

(Raelee quirks an eyebrow while glancing about the room expectantly.)

Traiva says, "Twice as effective."

Raelee nods at Traiva.

Speaking cheerfully to Rohese, Rillarie whispers aloud, "I am trying."

Speaking to Traiva, Raelee agrees, "Logical."

Raelee adds, "Of course, it is not actually true that an s'ayanad crystal will create a mana potion with twice the power, as this ignores all other variables at play such as the mana that escapes when heat is applied and other ingredients that we may add to stabilize these reactions..."

Traiva quietly murmurs, "I have my moments."

Raelee says, "But despite that oversimplification, you can begin to see how a logical inference - one that can easily be illustrated propositionally - can be used in the development of our magic, alchemical or otherwise."

Speaking to Raelee, Kothos says, "It's an exponential scale."

Speaking to Kothos, Raelee says, "With variables."

Kothos nods at Raelee.

(Raelee quickly chalks the rest of a logical sequence after the existing A on the board, illustrating that if S equals two A, and if A equals M, then two M must also equal S.)

Raelee asks, "It makes sense, yes?"

(Raelee makes a gesture towards the written notations on the board.)

Raelee continues, "Now let us illustrate how we can also apply these principles in the development of our rote spells."

Raelee mentions, "As I am an elementalist, I will remain in that area for my examples."

Raelee says, "We are aware of the concept of opposing elements: fire and water, air and earth. The opposition of fire and water is often more easily understood, thus let us discuss that."

Raelee says, "When we desire heat, we utilize fire spells, when we desire cold, we utilize water spells, and so on..."

Raelee says, "Fire spells and water spells often contain similar patterns, but we simply invert them for the opposite effect."

(Raelee quickly jots a sequence on the slate board in standard magical notation, beginning with an upward pointing triangle. After she finishes writing, she taps the starting triangle with her knuckle.)

Raelee clearly states, "Fire."

Raelee says, "The rest that follows describes the process of directing a bolt of fire outwards. This is a description of a spell frequently utilized in basic, rote wizardry."

Raelee asks, "Taking the given statement that fire is the opposing element to water, and that water patterns are often the inverse of fire patterns... utilizing logical inference, what do we think might happen if we invert this spell?"

(Raelee quickly chalks another sequence of notation, starting with a downwards pointing triangle, and reversing many of the other symbols that follow.)

Ordim raises his hand.

Raelee nods at Ordim.

Ordim suggests, "Water will come to you?"

Speaking to Ordim, Raelee says, "That is correct."

Ordim adopts an agreeable expression.

Raelee says, "The caster is likely to freeze his or her own arm off, for we also inverted the bits that direct it outwards."

Raelee says, "Thus we learn, that while some patterns should be inverted, logically... others should remain as-is."

Raelee adds, "... many an empath has been required in the early development of spells. Unfortunately, most records also indicate that development of elemental magic predates that of most healing magic... thus that frozen arm may have resulted in permanent disfigurement or worse..."

(Raelee faintly shrugs one shoulder.)

Raelee says, "... but I digress..."

Raelee says, "As I mentioned, magic is brought forth through the force of will, but that means we are willing mana into very specific patterns with very specific effects. Magic is not simply a matter of will combined with mana and imagination."

Raelee says, "Even if you do not recognize or understand the pattern, it is still there."

Raelee says, "... and as I said, where patterns exist, logic exists."

Raelee says, "... thus one can begin to see how the development of rote circles relied upon logical thought processes surrounding cause and effect, particularly given that as one progresses through a circle, we are often building upon patterns utilized in previous spells."

Raelee says, "And in magic, much like in other areas of logic inquiry, we can take different routes to similar conclusions. Consider the spell in my own circle known as Major Fire - the eighth in the circle."

Raelee says, "... now consider the eleventh spell in a spiritual circle, Fire Spirit. Or the casting of Balefire in the sorcerous circles."

Raelee says, "These are three spells that have remarkably similar effects, yet are cast with entirely different methods. If we analyze them more closely, we will see repeating patterns, with Balefire in particular containing threads of the other two."

Raelee says, "... and the combination of those threads results in a similar, but not identical effect due to the other variables at hand."

Raelee says, "If a splash of fire can be achieved through elemental method A, and spiritual method B, then it is logical to believe that shared methods in the two can create similar effect through the hybrid method C."

Raelee says, "... now I could continue down this path for hours, days, or even years - there are scholars who devote their entire lifetime of study not to the application of these principles, but to the definition and understanding of these principles."

Raelee mentions, "... some brilliant treatises have come out of Chantry on the subject."

Raelee says, "Given that we have barely begun to broach the topic of logic, truly, I do not know that I have a neat statement to end this discussion with..."

Raelee says, "Thus, I will simply attempt to reiterate how formalizing our thought processes through logic can aid us greatly in the pursuit of *correct* knowledge, by clearly establishing our conclusions with defined proof and arguments."

Raelee says, "It is the process of defining not what we want, or feel, or think... but the process of defining the truth via formal argument, independent of our own biases."

(Raelee moves away from the slate board and returns to the podium.)

Raelee says, "And that is all I have to say on the topic for today."

Raelee asks, "Have we any questions?"

Rohese softly murmurs, "I would still look for a pretty horse."

Raelee gives a sidelong glance at Rohese.

Speaking to Raelee, Daevian says, "Absolutely fantastic."

Speaking cheerfully to Rohese, Rillarie says, "You and I both."

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Mist Harbor Library Lectures - 2024-01-07 - On Logic (log)}}

The following was a part of the Mist Harbor Library lecture series, where [[Raelee (prime)|Raelee Svala]] took her second turn as the guest speaker. This was presented on on 1/7/5124. The lecture discussed both formal and informal logic, and demonstrates how logic can accompany the study of magic.

This log has been edited to remove excess noise and chatter.

----

[Library, Meeting Hall - 29806] (u3223132) 
A trio of wide stairs lead down from a wide archway into this brightly lit room. A small podium stands atop a small dais opposite the archway, and several cushioned benches have been arranged throughout the space, each offering an excellent line of sight. A number of elliptical windows line the walls of the hall, and a rich crimson-patterned carpet covers the entirety of the floor underfoot. You also see the Murfey disk, the web-draped Missoni disk, the hammered silver Meliyara disk and a small table with some stuff on it.

Obvious exits: none

Rohese graciously greets, "Good afternoon everyone and a happy new year."

Rohese softly begins, "As the Library's Loremaster, it gives me great pleasure to once again welcome you to another in our lecture series -- now entering its fourth year!"

Rohese softly says, "I see many familiar faces and quite a few new ones."

Rohese nods approvingly.

Speaking to Rohese, Kothos says, "Congratulations on this momentous anniversary, my friend. Loremaster indeed."

Rohese softly says, "Forgive me if you've heard me this before but it doesn't hurt to repeat ..."

Rohese brightly explains, "As I'm sure you are all aware by now, the aim is to provide a platform for imparting knowledge and encouraging discussion."

Rohese smiles.

Rohese gently reminds, "I ask that everyone be considerate to our speaker, as well as those who comment or ask questions."

Rohese wrinkles her nose.

Rohese softly continues, "All opinions are welcome and indeed encouraged, as long as they are courteously expressed."

Rohese excitedly says, "I am especially delighted that our speaker agreed to return and bring in the new year with flair ... or flare."

Rohese softly says, "So without further ado, please give the Magister a warm Library welcome."

Rohese beams at Raelee and claps her hands together in delight!

(Raelee calmly steps up to the podium and takes a position behind it.)

Raelee clearly announces, "Today we are going to discuss a subject that should be at the root of all inquiry, at the root of all attempts to understand the world around us..."

Raelee continues, "...and a subject that in my experience, should be relied upon far more often than it is..."

Raelee bluntly states, "Logic."

Raelee asks, "Define logic? One of you?"

Delindra raises her hand.

Raelee nods at Delindra.

Delindra hesitantly offers, "Reasonableness?"

Raelee echoes, "Reasonableness."

Raelee says, "To elaborate on that..."

Raelee says, "When we describe logic as a science, it can be defined as the study of the principles of correct reasoning or inference."

Raelee says, "When we describe logic as a tool that we use in inquiry, it is a *method* of reasoning or argumentation."

Raelee clearly asks, "And why is logic important in academic inquiry and the pursuit of knowledge?"

Raelee quickly adds, "... and that is a rhetorical question. I am not actually seeking commentary."

Raelee says, "I value the practice of logic so highly because it provides a pathway to formulate correct arguments and correct conclusions without interference by *subjective* influences such as emotion or our personal desires."

Raelee says, "Thus today, I aim to provide you with an introduction to logic as a branch of philosophy as well as demonstrate how it can be applied in inquiry."

Raelee explains, "At the highest level, logic can be divided into two categories: formal and informal."

Raelee says, "There are many ways to describe the difference between these two forms."

Raelee says, "Formal logic evaluates the structure of an argument, informal logic evaluates the content of the argument."

Raelee says, "Or... formal logic takes an argument, converts the content into symbols, and then evaluates that argument according to rigid rules, whereas informal logic utilizes our natural language, acknowledges context and ambiguity, and ultimately can be described as 'everyday reasoning.'."

Raelee explains, "In our day-to-day studies and activities, we are far more likely to engage in informal logic... unless the activity at hand is actually mathematics or a practice that leverages formulae such as the physical or alchemical sciences."

Raelee adds, "... I should note, however, the underpinning of informal logic is the formal form."

Raelee says, "And despite how a thorough command of formal logic can greatly increase one's effective use of informal logic, I am not going to spend much time on the formal today."

Raelee flatly says, "I have been informed that it is a very dry topic, though I do not understand why it is seen as such..."

Raelee narrows her eyes.

Raelee shakes her head, totally at a loss.

(Raelee makes a brief beckoning gesture towards a library assistant. Moments later, the assistant rolls a slate board in, leaving it beside the podium.)

Raelee gives a slight flick of her wrist, and some long translucent chalk suddenly appears in her hand!

Raelee continues, "There are many branches of formal logic... And while my favorite to study is epistemic logic, I am going to introduce propositional logic today instead."

Raelee says, "Propositional logic is, arguably, the simplest form of formal logic."

Raelee says, "This is a very early form of logical study as well - we see examples of it in early Kannalan scholarship, ancient Elven scholarship, and so forth. To my knowledge, the Erithians also separately built a very similar foundation to their own logical scholarship."

Raelee says, "It utilizes propositions, which are statements that are either true or false... and logical operators, such as 'and', 'or', or 'not', to combine and manipulate those propositions."

(Raelee chalks the equation 'C = A ^ B' on the slate board in a quick, but neat hand.)

Raelee says, "Written representations of formal logical arguments do often resemble algebraic equations, in truth."

Raelee says, "Alternatively, one might say algebraic forms follow the path of formal logic and its symbolic language."

(Raelee taps the slate board with a knuckle, as if reinforcing the point.)

Raelee says, "Now, let us take two statements:"

Raelee states, "The fire is burning."

Raelee states, "I am warm."

Raelee says, "We can combine these two statements and say... the fire is burning and I am warm."

Raelee says, "Our first statement, the fire is burning, is symbolized by the letter A in this example. Our second statement, I am warm, is symbolized by the letter B."

Raelee says, "As one might guess, C symbolizes the combined statement."

Raelee says, "And this symbol here," She indicates the '^' symbol on the board with a pointed finger, "represents the conjunction 'and'."

Raelee says, "What this formula means is that C, our combined statement, is only true if both A and B are true."

Raelee says, "The truth of the statement 'the fire is burning and I am warm' relies upon it being true that the fire is burning and it also being true that I am warm."

(Raelee chalks another equation onto the board, below the first: ((A = B) ^ (A=C)) followed by an arrow pointing rightwards towards (B=C).)

Raelee states, "If A equals B and A equals C, then B equals C."

Rohese whimpers.

Raelee surreptitiously glances at Rohese.

Raelee says, "And we can continue to build. We have a symbolic language that covers all manner of conditions such as and, or, if, necessity, possibility, syntactically entails, semantically entails, the negation of both of those, and so forth."

Raelee says, "Thus, we can illustrate complex arguments in this symbolic language and utilize that to prove or disprove their validity."

Kothos says, "Logic is when the conditions are balanced in the argument."

Speaking to Kothos, Raelee says, "Succinctly put."

Raelee says, "Now, I did promise that I would not spend much time on formal logic."

(Raelee shakes her head briefly.)

Raelee says, "... but before I continue on to the informal, I am going to veer away from fact and into opinion."

(Delindra absently pulls a torn piece of parchment out and scribbles something on it with a quill, squinting back and forth between the slate board and her handwriting.)

Delindra works her fingers under her green leather hat and scratches her head.

Raelee says, "As I previously mentioned, we can see the development of these structures occurring separately in ancient scholarship. The Elves and the Erithians were able to develop very similar systems without much known contact or collaboration. We also see this phenomenon in ancient mathematical development."

Raelee says, "I believe that there is likely great meaning in the fact that separate people, separate cultures are able to come to these same conclusions... that these rules are able to be found by any who are looking for them."

Raelee says, "To me, that speaks to the universal truth in logic... or mathematics for that matter."

(Raelee appears lost in thought briefly, and for a fleeting moment she looks almost wistful.)

Raelee schools her face into a neutral expression.

Raelee continues, "... and now on to where I intend to dwell for the next chapter of this lecture: informal logic."

Raelee explains, "Informal logic is the logic we tend to leverage in our everyday lives, whether in argumentation or decision making."

Raelee states, "These are our critical thinking skills."

Raelee says, "Returning to my previous example of 'the fire is burning' and 'I am warm' - if I am too warm, informal logic may lead to a thought process such as..."

Raelee states, "I am too warm because I am near the fire, thus I should move away from the fire."

Raelee asks, "It seems... logical, no?"

Raelee raises an eyebrow.

Yukito signals, "A person could also be suffering from hypothermia. And not feel warm."

Daevian looks over at Raelee and shakes his head.

Kothos says, "It does depend on the rest of the argument."

Daevian nods at Kothos.

Raelee says, "And I shall proceed to the rest of the argument, of course."

Speaking to Kothos, Daevian says, "That was my disagreement with it being logical."

Speaking to Yukito, Raelee says, "Hypothermia, as you suggest, would fall under the category of counterarguments. Which is amongst the nine points of constructing a valid argument."

Yukito nods politely at Raelee.

(Raelee begins visibly counting on her fingers, raising one in turn with each stated component.)

Rohese incredulously murmurs, "Nine."

Rohese takes a slow, deep breath then pinches the bridge of her nose.

Raelee clearly says, "We begin with premises."

Ordim mouths, "Oh boy!"

Raelee says, "A premise is a statement in an argument which is accepted to be true for the purpose of the argument and does not need to be proven in context. One such unstated premise in the aforementioned argument might be, 'Fire is warm.'."

Raelee says, "At times, a premise may also be referred to as a given or a given statement."

Raelee says, "In short - these are established facts."

Raelee says, "The fire is burning. Fire is warm. I am too warm."

Raelee continues, "We, of course, end with conclusions."

Raelee states, "I should move away from the fire."

Raelee says, "The rest of the component parts are utilized in reaching the conclusion from the given premises."

Raelee states, "Inference or reasoning."

Raelee says, "This the process we follow to connect these two things. It explains how the evidence in the premises leads to the acceptance or support of the conclusion."

Raelee says, "If fire is warm, and I am warm, perhaps my proximity to the fire is the cause."

Raelee states, "Supporting evidence."

Raelee says, "This consists of facts, examples, data, or other information that reinforces the truth or likelihood of the premises. This is everything we know about the nature of fire and practical examples of that knowledge."

Raelee says, "... such as the effect fire has upon a kettle of water for tea."

Raelee says, "If fire can increase the temperature of water... perhaps it can also increase my own temperature."

Raelee states, "Assumptions."

Raelee says, "These are unstated or implicit premises that are taken for granted but not explicitly mentioned in the argument."

Raelee says, "Such as, we may be assuming the fire is the source of the warmth and not some internal magical process, for example."

The air around Raelee shimmers in a mirage, waves of invisible heat radiating off of her.

Raelee says, "Which is, of course, possible."

Raelee states, "Counterarguments."

Raelee says, "These are not required and may not be used in all cases, but these are opposing viewpoints or objections that may be raised against the argument. Addressing counterarguments strengthens the argument by demonstrating awareness of potential challenges and providing responses to them."

Speaking to Yukito, Raelee says, "Perhaps one might suggest hypothermia, which can be refuted by saying our subject has not been exposed to extreme cold."

Yukito nods at Raelee.

Raelee says, "Or given that the conclusion we are arguing towards is the necessity of moving away from the fire..."

Raelee says, "Perhaps one could suggest extinguishing the fire instead - but then remark that some heat from the fire is necessary and we would be too cold in its absence. Thus, it is more logical to simply reduce our proximity to it."

Raelee states, "Structure."

Raelee says, "This is how we arrange our other components into valid deductive reasoning."

Raelee elaborates, "If we revert back to formal logic for a moment, this is where all of our defined operators come into play. And, or, if, because, and so forth..."

(Raelee clearly enunciates as she mentions various logical operators.)

Raelee says, "I am too warm *because* I am near the fire. Thus, *if* I move away from the fire, I will be less warm."

Raelee states, "Rhetorical devices."

Raelee says, "These are methods to increase the effectiveness of one's argument. They may include analogies, metaphors, or emotional appeals, all designed to persuade."

Raelee mentions, "I prefer to not rely upon these in my own formation of argument, but one might say that is merely my own opinion on method."

Speaking quietly to her well-aged whiskey, Murfey says, "I think I'm going to need more of you for this."

Speaking quietly to Murfey, Kothos says, "It does provide a certain elasticity for these subjects..."

Raelee says, "The necessity of rhetoric is often weighed upon the purpose of the argument - if one intends to persuade, it is useful. If one is evaluating evidence, it may cause deviation from the truth."

Rohese confusedly ponders, "Does the wearing of a blanket introduce a new variable?"

Speaking to Rohese, Raelee says, "It could."

Rohese beams!

Rohese brightly whispers aloud, "I think I understand this!"

Rohese claps her hands together in delight!

Speaking to Rohese, Murfey asks, "Is the blanket on fire?"

Speaking to Rohese, Raelee says, "Even more than you realize, likely. These are principles you likely leverage every day."

Rohese laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement from Murfey.

Raelee states, "Lastly, clarity and precision."

Speaking loudly to Rohese, Delindra whispers aloud, "She's such a good teacher!"

Raelee explains, "Ambiguity can weaken an argument, thus precision in language is essential to a well-constructed argument."

Rohese nods enthusiastically at Delindra!

Raelee surreptitiously glances at Delindra.

Delindra clasps her hand over her mouth.

Raelee says, "I am too warm, thus I should move over there."

Raelee says, "We are now missing the cause and effect due to lack of specificity surrounding reason."

Speaking to Raelee, Kothos says, "They fade into assumptions."

Speaking to Kothos, Raelee says, "Precisely."

(Raelee pauses for a moment, glancing about the room. She then drops her hands into a more relaxed position, curling her previously raised eight fingers and thumb into them.)

Raelee suggests, "Now, provide me with some examples of use of informal logic in the course of pursuit of knowledge?"

Raelee glances expectantly around the room.

Delindra raises her hand.

Raelee nods at Delindra.

Delindra hesitantly suggests, "Forming a hypothesis and testing it?"

(Rohese tentatively raises her hand for a moment then lowers it again.)

Speaking to Delindra, Raelee says, "Yes. Logic is leveraged in that process, both in the formation and in the proving."

Speaking quietly to Delindra, Kothos says, "Experiments."

Speaking to Rohese, Raelee says, "I did see that."

Yukito signals, "Informal... so... um... The books on the shelves should hold a lot of information, therefore I can read them all and become a genius? Everyone says so?"

Speaking to Delindra, Murfey asks, "Isn't a hypotenuse a type of Krynch?"

Speaking to Murfey, Daevian whispers aloud, "Hypothesis, not hypotenuse."

Speaking quietly to Murfey, Delindra admits, "I'm not sure."

Speaking to Murfey, Raelee says, "That is the longest segment in a right triangle, opposite the ninety degree angle."

Speaking to Murfey, Ordim adds, "That was the last lecture actually."

Speaking to Ordim, Murfey says, "That's what I get for missing one."

Raelee says, "And Yukito mentions the idea that books should hold a lot of information, therefore he can read them all and become a genuius."

Daevian says, "Of course, that would depend on what the books are."

Speaking to Yukito, Raelee says, "But that does leave out several variables - such as the quality of information, whether or not they actually hold to what they assumed to do, and the ability of the reader to process and understand that information."

Daevian nods at Raelee.

Yukito agrees with Raelee.

Speaking softly to Yukito, Rohese exclaims, "I had a similar idea!"

Speaking curiously to Raelee, Kothos says, "Measurement, perhaps? So you have a scale for collecting premises."

Speaking to Kothos, Raelee says, "Standards for definition."

Kothos nods at Raelee.

(Raelee rests her hands on the podium again.)

Raelee says, "Carrying on..."

Raelee says, "We might use it in historical inquiry, for example, forming a conclusion about the activities of someone a millennia ago based on what we know of human behavior, existing record, and other evidence at hand."

Speaking to Yukito, Daevian says, "I think it'd be more accurate to say that if you read all the books, you would know more than you knew before you did. Though, there's still variables there..."

Speaking to Daevian, Raelee adds, "... as all books in the established set could, perhaps, only contain information the reader has previously been exposed to, and thus nothing is learned despite the effort."

Speaking to Raelee, Daevian says, "You finished my thought exactly."

Daevian says, "That'd be highly unlikely, though."

Speaking to Daevian, Raelee agrees, "Excellent thought, then."

Raelee says, "The usage does not need to be academic. We might utilize it in the decision making process of purchasing a horse."

Meliyara notes, "Or the author could be biased or incorrect in some way, introducing flaws into the subject matter."

Daevian says, "Even being exposed to the same information you've read before, you could perceive it differently due to experiences since the last time you were exposed to it."

Daevian nods at Raelee.

Raelee says, "I require a horse to travel long distances. This horse is of a breed known for endurance, thus this might be an ideal horse to purchase."

Raelee says, "Many of us are used to making decisions or forming conclusions based on our instinct. It is often said that instinct is the instant form of informal logic - we are acting on numerous unconscious premises that we have come to know the truths of in our lifetimes of experience."

Speaking softly to Raelee, Rohese blurts, "But is it a pretty horse?"

Rohese clasps her hand over her mouth.

Speaking to Rohese, Raelee says, "That is subjective."

Rohese blushes sheepishly to herself.

Raelee says, "Though, we must still take care as instinct can also be drastically influenced by emotion, which can often pull us away from a logical path."

Speaking quietly to Rohese, Kothos says, "Aesthetics play a role, my friend. Agreed."

Raelee says, "... such as subjective, aesthetic qualities."

Raelee glances between Kothos and Rohese.

(Raelee shakes her head faintly.)

Raelee says, "As I have said, the purpose of logic, both in academic inquiry and everyday decision making is to form *correct* arguments based upon truths."

Speaking loudly to Kothos, Delindra whispers aloud, "You helped her make her point perfectly."

Delindra nods approvingly.

(Raelee pauses for a moment and moves away from the podium. She waves a hand over the slate board and releases a small torrent of air, erasing all of the existing chalk from its surface into a cloud of dust.)

Speaking to Delindra, Kothos says, "...yes, I meant to do that."

Kothos flashes a quick grin at Delindra.

Raelee says, "And now I will end this with what some might consider an odd confluence of topics: logic and magic. This is a more detailed attempt to demonstrate usage of both formal and informal logic in the pursuit of a specific study."

Raelee says, "Some might find it ill-fitting that I would speak of these two topics together, as so much of magic is based upon force of will... and the mortal will so often defies logic."

Raelee dryly adds, "... exhaustingly often, really."

Raelee asks, "Yet, there are many patterns in magic, no?"

(Raelee briefly glances about the room, raising both eyebrows as she does.)

Raelee says, "The entire concept of rote magic relies upon us repeating patterns over and over until the mana about us easily folds into them like a well-worn crease in a sheet of parchment."

Kothos says, "Gestures and the verbal components."

Raelee states, "Where patterns exist, logic defines them."

Raelee says, "Alchemy for example, one might say is amongst the best examples of logic applied to magic."

Ordim groans.

Rohese nods enthusiastically at Raelee!

Yukito winces.

Delindra fidgets.

With an empathetic nod, Rohese discreetly takes Yukito's hand in hers and gives it a momentary squeeze.

Raelee dryly asks, "Is this somehow worse than formal logic, now?"

(Delindra appears to be stifling a cringe.)

(Raelee pauses her speech to add another equation to the slate board. It begins with an upwards pointing triangle, then continues with an arrow, some numbers, the letters M and N, a few other symbols, and concludes with an equals sign followed by the letter D.)

Speaking to Raelee, Kothos says, "A sore subject for many, I am sure."

Raelee asks, "Does anyone recognize what this formula represents?"

Raelee glances expectantly around the room.

Meril asks, "Is this one of the alchemical symbols?"

Phanna raises her hand.

Raelee nods at Phanna.

Phanna asks, "Is that extracting a crystal?"

Speaking to Phanna, Raelee says, "It is, yes."

Phanna beams!

Raelee says, "Yes, it is the extraction of what is often colloquially referred to as 'shimmering dust' from an n'ayanad crystal."

Phanna nods thoughtfully.

Yukito stares at Phanna.

Speaking to Meril, Raelee says, "And the triangle does represent fire - we will see it very often in alchemical formulas."

Speaking to Yukito, Phanna whispers aloud, "I spent a lot of time working with alchemy last year."

Raelee says, "We do not often have to consider the logic behind alchemical formulas, or our rote spells, as our predecessors in these practices sorted all of that out generations ago - and we are merely following the path laid for us."

Uniana closes her eyes, leans back her head, and adopts an expression of bored misery.

Raelee says, "Let us consider what these earlier alchemists may have been thinking, though..."

Speaking to Raelee, Kothos says, "Leaving us to simply memorize their successes."

Raelee says, "It is known that if one begins with a n'ayanad crystal, one can reduce it to dust, and re-crystallize it into a cluster of the lesser t'ayanad crystals."

Delindra mumbles, "...how to bore novices into never wanting to practice alchemy ever again..."

Delindra coughs.

Delindra clasps her hand over her mouth.

Speaking to Delindra, Raelee counters, "It might be more appealing with greater understanding of the underlying principles."

Raelee says, "This process can be repeated, creating s'ayanad crystals, and then ayanad crystals. One n'ayanad crystal can ultimately produce eight similarly-sized ayanad crystals."

Raelee asks, "And with that simple eight to one ratio as our given in the formula, surely you can begin to see how early alchemists could begin to make logical inferences and conclusions regarding the effects of different crystal types in alchemical recipes?"

Raelee says, "If an ayanad crystal carries a level of power we shall define as A..."

(Raelee quickly slashes an A onto the slate board with her chalk.)

Raelee continues, "Now consider a mana potion that one can ingest to restore their own internal mana. These are brewed utilizing ayanad crystals."

Raelee asks, "Knowing that an s'ayanad crystal contains twice the power of an ayanad crystal... what is a reasonable inference to make when developing a formula for a stronger mana potion?"

Rohese excitedly whispers aloud, "I understand this!"

Rohese claps her hands together in delight!

(Raelee quirks an eyebrow while glancing about the room expectantly.)

Traiva says, "Twice as effective."

Raelee nods at Traiva.

Speaking cheerfully to Rohese, Rillarie whispers aloud, "I am trying."

Speaking to Traiva, Raelee agrees, "Logical."

Raelee adds, "Of course, it is not actually true that an s'ayanad crystal will create a mana potion with twice the power, as this ignores all other variables at play such as the mana that escapes when heat is applied and other ingredients that we may add to stabilize these reactions..."

Traiva quietly murmurs, "I have my moments."

Raelee says, "But despite that oversimplification, you can begin to see how a logical inference - one that can easily be illustrated propositionally - can be used in the development of our magic, alchemical or otherwise."

Speaking to Raelee, Kothos says, "It's an exponential scale."

Speaking to Kothos, Raelee says, "With variables."

Kothos nods at Raelee.

(Raelee quickly chalks the rest of a logical sequence after the existing A on the board, illustrating that if S equals two A, and if A equals M, then two M must also equal S.)

Raelee asks, "It makes sense, yes?"

(Raelee makes a gesture towards the written notations on the board.)

Raelee continues, "Now let us illustrate how we can also apply these principles in the development of our rote spells."

Raelee mentions, "As I am an elementalist, I will remain in that area for my examples."

Raelee says, "We are aware of the concept of opposing elements: fire and water, air and earth. The opposition of fire and water is often more easily understood, thus let us discuss that."

Raelee says, "When we desire heat, we utilize fire spells, when we desire cold, we utilize water spells, and so on..."

Raelee says, "Fire spells and water spells often contain similar patterns, but we simply invert them for the opposite effect."

(Raelee quickly jots a sequence on the slate board in standard magical notation, beginning with an upward pointing triangle. After she finishes writing, she taps the starting triangle with her knuckle.)

Raelee clearly states, "Fire."

Raelee says, "The rest that follows describes the process of directing a bolt of fire outwards. This is a description of a spell frequently utilized in basic, rote wizardry."

Raelee asks, "Taking the given statement that fire is the opposing element to water, and that water patterns are often the inverse of fire patterns... utilizing logical inference, what do we think might happen if we invert this spell?"

(Raelee quickly chalks another sequence of notation, starting with a downwards pointing triangle, and reversing many of the other symbols that follow.)

Ordim raises his hand.

Raelee nods at Ordim.

Ordim suggests, "Water will come to you?"

Speaking to Ordim, Raelee says, "That is correct."

Ordim adopts an agreeable expression.

Raelee says, "The caster is likely to freeze his or her own arm off, for we also inverted the bits that direct it outwards."

Raelee says, "Thus we learn, that while some patterns should be inverted, logically... others should remain as-is."

Raelee adds, "... many an empath has been required in the early development of spells. Unfortunately, most records also indicate that development of elemental magic predates that of most healing magic... thus that frozen arm may have resulted in permanent disfigurement or worse..."

(Raelee faintly shrugs one shoulder.)

Raelee says, "... but I digress..."

Raelee says, "As I mentioned, magic is brought forth through the force of will, but that means we are willing mana into very specific patterns with very specific effects. Magic is not simply a matter of will combined with mana and imagination."

Raelee says, "Even if you do not recognize or understand the pattern, it is still there."

Raelee says, "... and as I said, where patterns exist, logic exists."

Raelee says, "... thus one can begin to see how the development of rote circles relied upon logical thought processes surrounding cause and effect, particularly given that as one progresses through a circle, we are often building upon patterns utilized in previous spells."

Raelee says, "And in magic, much like in other areas of logic inquiry, we can take different routes to similar conclusions. Consider the spell in my own circle known as Major Fire - the eighth in the circle."

Raelee says, "... now consider the eleventh spell in a spiritual circle, Fire Spirit. Or the casting of Balefire in the sorcerous circles."

Raelee says, "These are three spells that have remarkably similar effects, yet are cast with entirely different methods. If we analyze them more closely, we will see repeating patterns, with Balefire in particular containing threads of the other two."

Raelee says, "... and the combination of those threads results in a similar, but not identical effect due to the other variables at hand."

Raelee says, "If a splash of fire can be achieved through elemental method A, and spiritual method B, then it is logical to believe that shared methods in the two can create similar effect through the hybrid method C."

Raelee says, "... now I could continue down this path for hours, days, or even years - there are scholars who devote their entire lifetime of study not to the application of these principles, but to the definition and understanding of these principles."

Raelee mentions, "... some brilliant treatises have come out of Chantry on the subject."

Raelee says, "Given that we have barely begun to broach the topic of logic, truly, I do not know that I have a neat statement to end this discussion with..."

Raelee says, "Thus, I will simply attempt to reiterate how formalizing our thought processes through logic can aid us greatly in the pursuit of *correct* knowledge, by clearly establishing our conclusions with defined proof and arguments."

Raelee says, "It is the process of defining not what we want, or feel, or think... but the process of defining the truth via formal argument, independent of our own biases."

(Raelee moves away from the slate board and returns to the podium.)

Raelee says, "And that is all I have to say on the topic for today."

Raelee asks, "Have we any questions?"

Rohese softly murmurs, "I would still look for a pretty horse."

Raelee gives a sidelong glance at Rohese.

Speaking to Raelee, Daevian says, "Absolutely fantastic."

Speaking cheerfully to Rohese, Rillarie says, "You and I both."

Fash'lo'nae's Forbidden book

2022-04-19T03:11:32Z

JADZIABLUE: Adding Loresong

{{TOCright}}'''Fash'lo'nae's Forbidden Book''' made its debut at [[Ebon Gate 2019]] as a raffle in [[EGShop:On Wing and Prayer|On Wing and Prayer]]. These books are zesty mundane looking objects initially found with the title "Forbidden Knowledge" written on the cover. When successfully activated via the verb READ (low success chance), the book will apply [[Fash'lo'nae's Gift (1750)]] on the user, which then allows limited access to a variety of spells. The book has a cooldown period before it automatically restores a charge.

==Analyze==
<pre{{log2}}>
You analyze your leather-bound book and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

'''Despite the very normal appearance of a muted ochre leather-bound book, you sense that it is potentially powerful and dangerous.'''

Due to the nature of the book, a merchant may choose to not work on it. Otherwise, this leather-bound book may be altered by a skilled merchant with the following restrictions:

* The noun must remain one of the following: '''book, tome, volume, spellbook, grimoire, codex, or prayerbook.'''
* LONG and SHOW descriptions are allowed but '''this book's appearance must remain reasonably unremarkable and ordinary.''' Nothing too unusual, creepy, beautiful or attention-grabbing.
* The cover may have its title updated but must remain written in common.

This leather-bound book is currently '''Tier 1 of 2''' and has access to the verbs: '''OPEN CLOSE LISTEN READ'''
(Tier unlock 2 adds the verbs PRAISE PUZZLE DISDAIN and confers a small bonus to READ activation success and margin.)
A very rare set of merchants may offer unlocking services for this item.

This particular book will not consume a charge for failed activation attempts. (OR: This particular book will consume a charge for any activation attempt that has a chance to succeed.)

You can tell that the book is as light as it can get.

<pre{{log2}}>
Before the song's magic fades, a presence within the volume awakens and touches your mind. It fills you with a vision...

A bookbinder's workshop fades into view. Stacks of books in varying degrees of progress are piled around the workshop. A wooden contraption, strung with four sewing support cords, sits on a corner of the worktable. In it, several gatherings have already been stitched together, but there is clearly room enough for more. Loose gatherings rest nearby, the folded papers waiting to be stitched together to complete the book in progress.

In the center of the shop, the master bookbinder toils away on their latest project, their face and features obscured. Their fingers work nimbly as they move a folding stick swiftly across the spine of a recently attached leather cover. A myriad of embossing tools have been set aside to be used for embellishing the cover. A stack of finished books sits nearby, in a plethora of varying colors, materials, and embellishments. The title of each book remains conspicuously blank.

The vision fades and the presence falls silent.
</pre>
<pre{{log2}}>
Before the song's magic fades, a presence within the volume awakens and touches your mind. It fills you with a vision...

The scene shifts to a room full of arcane instruments and a group of ritualists gathered around a central worktable. Resting upon the table are the bookbinder's finished works, each without a title. A robed individual leads the group through a complex series of spells, including a ritual of summoning. The books are momentarily bathed in a golden yellow glow followed by a silvery grey cloud of smoke. When the smoke clears, the books appear unchanged except for each bearing the same title: "Forbidden Knowledge."

As the ritual draws to a close, each member of the group gathers a stack of books and leaves the ritual chamber until only the leader remains alone. She turns around to stare directly at you, as if able to sense your presence. The ancient woman mouths the words, "You have much more to learn." She smirks at you and leaves the chamber after the other ritualists.

The vision fades and the presence falls silent.

Before the song's magic fades, a presence within the volume awakens and touches your mind. It fills you with a vision...

The scene shifts to one of the ritualists entering a large library. The figure proceeds to an obscure corner, shelves one of the "Forbidden Knowledge" books, and leaves. The scene shifts again and plays out a similar scenario but with a different ritualist and different library. This repeats a few more times before a different scenario is presented.

A curious individual approaches one of the books, seemingly captivated by it, and touches it. A distant look comes over their face, as they remain motionless for multiple moments. Finally they shake their head, snapping out of the daze, and quickly pocket the book. With a look of determination and a swift pace, the individual exits the library out into the world, their new possession securely hidden away.

The vision fades and the presence falls silent.

</pre>

== Technical Details ==
Information about the book's technical aspects still needs to be added to this page. At this time, it is known there is some manner of custom skill check utilized to activate the item and there are minimum thresholds for level and certain skills that must be met to even make an attempt. The skill check has been said to have a very low success chance and multiple failures are expected before a success.

This book was released with two distinctly noteworthy charge-loss conditions. The full/tolerant presence will only consume a charge for a successful activation. The flawed/punishing presence will consume a charge for any attempt made that could result in success. Attempts that result in automatic failure due to not meeting minimum level/skill threshold will not consume a charge.

All of the books known to be released at EG2019 were Tier 1 and had either 1) a full/tolerant presence (failures don't consume charges) that stored 1 charge and recharged after 24 hours or 2) a flawed/punishing presence (failures can consume charges) that stored 1 charge and recharged after 48 hours.

In addition, encumbrance does NOT factor into the success of the activation, which is similar to but distinct from other means of using 1750.

JADZIABLUE: /* Seafarer's Festival */ - Adding 2022 dates

[[File:Cairnfang.jpg|170px|thumb|right|Our minds to unhindered thinking, our hands to the community, and our spirits to greater loyalty.]]
[[Cairnfang Manor]], founded by Lady [[Songie Fillee]], was designed to serve [[Solhaven]], her people, her streets and her spirits. With that in mind the Manor strives to always bring fun events to the town of Solhaven, as well as supporting other groups. The Manor organizes Solhaven citizens for the Town Fellowship Games, hosts Winternights and the Seafarer's Festival, holds a Grande Art Exhibit, holds regular House Hunts, and teaches classes about the stars and many other things.

The Manor is located NE of the Tentacled Tavern on Bayside.

==About Cairnfang Manor==

===Statement of Purpose===
As our pledge reminds us, our mission is three fold. Unhindered thinking reflects the ability to think clearly and act without prejudice of race, religious affiliation, or profession. Our hands to the community, indicates the work we do to make Solhaven a place where both the young and the aged are served to make life better for all. Our spirits to greater loyalty means we do everything within our power to promote our beloved Solhaven for the good of all, not just the individual or a certain group. We use our minds, talents, and hearts towards a better Solhaven.

===Symbols===

Flag: A Cairnfang Manor Banner
Framed by long brilliant peacock feathers is a billowing silk banner emblazoned with a royal blue star and an opalescent flame resting in an open hand. As light catches the material of the flame, it reflects a myriad of colors. The words Intellect, Flame, and Spirit are stitched on three of the sides. Carefully stitched below the star in the most eye-catching thread and in flowing script are the words, "Cairnfang Manor."

Pin: a golden gemstone-set triad
Cut into the image of an open hand is a sparkling diamond, its palm inlaid with a fiery ruby and scribed with the word, "Flame." Beside it is a sapphire shard in the shape of a slender banner inlaid with a silver star and the word, "Intellect." The final gem of this triad is a vibrant peacock feather cut from a multi-hued stone set with an emerald eye. Gold foil fills the word, "Spirit" etched along the length of the shaft. Each of the carved gems is secured with thin golden bands to a wide metal pin.

===Meetings===
Cairnfang Manor's monthly meeting is held on the second Restday of every month at 8pm EST. The meetings are held in the Cairnfang Manor Meeting Room. Non-members interested in attending may request an escort from a current member.

===Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit===
The first Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit was held in 5100 by the Lady Songie Fillee. The event was intended to celebrate art as well as the community of Solhaven, which had recently reopened trade with the northern frontier. Songie later established Cairnfang Manor and was its first Chairwoman, spearheading efforts to foster the rapidly growing community by her own actions. Cairnfang Manor gladly continues this now-annual tradition of the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit, showcasing works from artists across Elanthia while partnering with other organizations to run workshop events throughout the weeklong exhibit.

====Submission Information====
Paintings, drawings, sculptures, and any other physical artwork are acceptable. (Poetry, writing, performances, etc. should be saved for other performance-based events.) The pieces submitted will be judged upon their subject matter, creativity, and overall presentation, so choose something that is of interest to you and give it your all! While subject matter lies in the hands of the creator, we ask that submissions be suitable for viewing by audiences of mixed ages.

All artwork must be submitted in a manner that follows standard {{boldmono|ALTER}} guidelines: 15/15/15 to describe the piece (i.e. a carved,linden-framed,painting), plus a show description for the artwork being displayed taking up no more than 511 characters, including punctuation and double spaces between sentences. An additional long description for the artwork is optional and should be kept fairly short if included. This will ensure all items follow a standard pattern and make for ease in displaying them. In addition, please include the full name of the artist submitting the work as well as a title, if it has one; the artist's name and title do NOT need to be part of the artwork's show description.

Any artwork that does not follow these rules will not be displayed. Some artwork may have minor changes prior to display per QC. See [https://www.sphericalowl.com/gs/alterations.html Owly's Super Useful GemStoneIV Alteration Template] for formatting guidance.

'''Submission Example:'''
<pre{{log2}}>
a linden-framed,charcoal,portrait
Perfectly shaped linden blossoms have been etched into a light-toned frame surrounding a simple group portrait. A small scene of a group of adventures standing by a linden tree has been lovingly rendered in charcoal on smooth paper. The design of the sketch is rather crude and rough by most standards, however certain details of the group are meticulously rendered. It is clear that they are of different races, ages, and come from many walks of life.
</pre>

All pieces of artwork should be submitted to cairnfangmanor@gmail.com by no later than end of day on '''Tuesday, March 15, 2022'''. When submitting your piece, please make sure the subject reads as Art Exhibit, that you list the name of the artist submitting the piece, the title of the piece, and the full text description of the artwork.

Cairnfang Manor

2022-01-19T07:02:44Z

JADZIABLUE: /* Winternights' Festival */

[[File:Cairnfang.jpg|170px|thumb|right|Our minds to unhindered thinking, our hands to the community, and our spirits to greater loyalty.]]
[[Cairnfang Manor]], founded by Lady [[Songie Fillee]], was designed to serve [[Solhaven]], her people, her streets and her spirits. With that in mind the Manor strives to always bring fun events to the town of Solhaven, as well as supporting other groups. The Manor organizes Solhaven citizens for the Town Fellowship Games, hosts Winternights and the Seafarer's Festival, holds a Grande Art Exhibit, holds regular House Hunts, and teaches classes about the stars and many other things.

The Manor is located NE of the Tentacled Tavern on Bayside.

==About Cairnfang Manor==

===Statement of Purpose===
As our pledge reminds us, our mission is three fold. Unhindered thinking reflects the ability to think clearly and act without prejudice of race, religious affiliation, or profession. Our hands to the community, indicates the work we do to make Solhaven a place where both the young and the aged are served to make life better for all. Our spirits to greater loyalty means we do everything within our power to promote our beloved Solhaven for the good of all, not just the individual or a certain group. We use our minds, talents, and hearts towards a better Solhaven.

===Symbols===

Flag: A Cairnfang Manor Banner
Framed by long brilliant peacock feathers is a billowing silk banner emblazoned with a royal blue star and an opalescent flame resting in an open hand. As light catches the material of the flame, it reflects a myriad of colors. The words Intellect, Flame, and Spirit are stitched on three of the sides. Carefully stitched below the star in the most eye-catching thread and in flowing script are the words, "Cairnfang Manor."

Pin: a golden gemstone-set triad
Cut into the image of an open hand is a sparkling diamond, its palm inlaid with a fiery ruby and scribed with the word, "Flame." Beside it is a sapphire shard in the shape of a slender banner inlaid with a silver star and the word, "Intellect." The final gem of this triad is a vibrant peacock feather cut from a multi-hued stone set with an emerald eye. Gold foil fills the word, "Spirit" etched along the length of the shaft. Each of the carved gems is secured with thin golden bands to a wide metal pin.

===Meetings===
Cairnfang Manor's monthly meeting is held on the second Restday of every month at 8pm EST. The meetings are held in the Cairnfang Manor Meeting Room. Non-members interested in attending may request an escort from a current member.

===Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit===
The first Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit was held in 5099 by the Lady Songie Fillee. The event was intended to celebrate art as well as the community of Solhaven, which had recently reopened trade with the northern frontier. Songie later established Cairnfang Manor and was its first Chairwoman, spearheading efforts to foster the rapidly growing community by her own actions. Cairnfang Manor gladly continues this now-annual tradition of the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit, showcasing works from artists across Elanthia while partnering with other organizations to run workshop events throughout the weeklong exhibit.

====Submission Information====
Paintings, drawings, sculptures, and any other physical artwork are acceptable. (Poetry, writing, performances, etc. should be saved for other performance-based events.) The pieces submitted will be judged upon their subject matter, creativity, and overall presentation, so choose something that is of interest to you and give it your all! While subject matter lies in the hands of the creator, we ask that submissions be suitable for viewing by audiences of mixed ages.

All artwork must be submitted in a manner that follows standard {{boldmono|ALTER}} guidelines: 15/15/15 to describe the piece (i.e. a carved,linden-framed,painting), plus a show description for the artwork being displayed taking up no more than 511 characters, including punctuation and double spaces between sentences. An additional long description for the artwork is optional and should be kept fairly short if included. This will ensure all items follow a standard pattern and make for ease in displaying them. In addition, please include the full name of the artist submitting the work as well as a title, if it has one; the artist's name and title do NOT need to be part of the artwork's show description.

'''Submission Example:'''
<pre{{log2}}>
a linden-framed,charcoal,portrait
Perfectly shaped linden blossoms have been etched into a light-toned frame surrounding a simple group portrait. A small scene of a group of adventures standing by a linden tree has been lovingly rendered in charcoal on smooth paper. The design of the sketch is rather crude and rough by most standards, however certain details of the group are meticulously rendered. It is clear that they are of different races, ages, and come from many walks of life.

JADZIABLUE: /* Winternights' Festival */

[[File:Cairnfang.jpg|170px|thumb|right|Our minds to unhindered thinking, our hands to the community, and our spirits to greater loyalty.]]
[[Cairnfang Manor]], founded by Lady [[Songie Fillee]], was designed to serve [[Solhaven]], her people, her streets and her spirits. With that in mind the Manor strives to always bring fun events to the town of Solhaven, as well as supporting other groups. The Manor organizes Solhaven citizens for the Town Fellowship Games, hosts Winternights and the Seafarer's Festival, holds a Grande Art Exhibit, holds regular House Hunts, and teaches classes about the stars and many other things.

The Manor is located NE of the Tentacled Tavern on Bayside.

==About Cairnfang Manor==

===Statement of Purpose===
As our pledge reminds us, our mission is three fold. Unhindered thinking reflects the ability to think clearly and act without prejudice of race, religious affiliation, or profession. Our hands to the community, indicates the work we do to make Solhaven a place where both the young and the aged are served to make life better for all. Our spirits to greater loyalty means we do everything within our power to promote our beloved Solhaven for the good of all, not just the individual or a certain group. We use our minds, talents, and hearts towards a better Solhaven.

===Symbols===

Flag: A Cairnfang Manor Banner
Framed by long brilliant peacock feathers is a billowing silk banner emblazoned with a royal blue star and an opalescent flame resting in an open hand. As light catches the material of the flame, it reflects a myriad of colors. The words Intellect, Flame, and Spirit are stitched on three of the sides. Carefully stitched below the star in the most eye-catching thread and in flowing script are the words, "Cairnfang Manor."

Pin: a golden gemstone-set triad
Cut into the image of an open hand is a sparkling diamond, its palm inlaid with a fiery ruby and scribed with the word, "Flame." Beside it is a sapphire shard in the shape of a slender banner inlaid with a silver star and the word, "Intellect." The final gem of this triad is a vibrant peacock feather cut from a multi-hued stone set with an emerald eye. Gold foil fills the word, "Spirit" etched along the length of the shaft. Each of the carved gems is secured with thin golden bands to a wide metal pin.

===Meetings===
Cairnfang Manor's monthly meeting is held on the second Restday of every month at 8pm EST. The meetings are held in the Cairnfang Manor Meeting Room. Non-members interested in attending may request an escort from a current member.

===House Hunts===
On the third Restday of every month, Cairnfang Manor organizes a monthly hunt for house members and non-members alike. The hunt begins in North Market at 8pm EST, after which the location and target of the hunt will be chosen based on the skill level of that month's attendees.

===Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit===
The first Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit was held in 5099 by the Lady Songie Fillee. The event was intended to celebrate art as well as the community of Solhaven, which had recently reopened trade with the northern frontier. Songie later established Cairnfang Manor and was its first Chairwoman, spearheading efforts to foster the rapidly growing community by her own actions. Cairnfang Manor gladly continues this now-annual tradition of the Solhaven Grand Art Exhibit, showcasing works from artists across Elanthia while partnering with other organizations to run workshop events throughout the weeklong exhibit.

====Submission Information====
Paintings, drawings, sculptures, and any other physical artwork are acceptable. (Poetry, writing, performances, etc. should be saved for other performance-based events.) The pieces submitted will be judged upon their subject matter, creativity, and overall presentation, so choose something that is of interest to you and give it your all! While subject matter lies in the hands of the creator, we ask that submissions be suitable for viewing by audiences of mixed ages.

All artwork must be submitted in a manner that follows standard {{boldmono|ALTER}} guidelines: 15/15/15 to describe the piece (i.e. a carved,linden-framed,painting), plus a show description for the artwork being displayed taking up no more than 511 characters, including punctuation and double spaces between sentences. An additional long description for the artwork is optional and should be kept fairly short if included. This will ensure all items follow a standard pattern and make for ease in displaying them. In addition, please include the full name of the artist submitting the work as well as a title, if it has one; the artist's name and title do NOT need to be part of the artwork's show description.

Any artwork that does not follow these rules will not be displayed. Some artwork may have minor changes prior to display per QC. See [https://www.sphericalowl.com/gs/alterations.html Owly's Super Useful GemStoneIV Alteration Template] for formatting guidance.

'''Submission Example:'''
<pre{{log2}}>
a linden-framed,charcoal,portrait
Perfectly shaped linden blossoms have been etched into a light-toned frame surrounding a simple group portrait. A small scene of a group of adventures standing by a linden tree has been lovingly rendered in charcoal on smooth paper. The design of the sketch is rather crude and rough by most standards, however certain details of the group are meticulously rendered. It is clear that they are of different races, ages, and come from many walks of life.
</pre>

All pieces of artwork should be submitted to cairnfangmanor@gmail.com by no later than end of day on Tuesday, March 15, 2022. When submitting your piece, please make sure the subject reads as Art Exhibit, that you list the name of the artist submitting the piece, the title of the piece, and the full text description of the artwork.

===Winternights' Festival===

Shortly after the opening of the public trade route between [[Wehnimer's Landing]] and Solhaven in 5098, Cairnfang Founder Lady Songee Filee hosted the first annual Snowball. This event continued every year until 5112 when Cairnfang Manor extended the festivities into the annual Winternights. Every year organizations local to Solhaven are invited to take part in the festivities by hosting games and events, concluding with the traditional Snowball and occasionally a snowball fight.

[[File:Miniraeleefinal.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Raelee Svala and her familiar, as rendered by [[User:MAZEIKISJ | MAZEIKISJ]]]]

'''Magister Raelee Anza Svala''' is a [[human]] [[wizard]] and member of the [[Hall_of_Mages | Imperial Hall of Mages]] from the [[Chastonia | Earldom of Chastonia]], active in [[Solhaven]] and elsewhere across the continent of [[Elanith]] from 5103 until the present.

==History==
===Early History===
Raelee was born in Lormesta of 5082 in The Swale as the youngest child and only daughter of Grand Magister Redomer Svala III. After demonstrating sufficient potential at a very young age, Raelee began a vigorous program of academics to prepare her to begin her education at the Hall of Mages. Once deemed ready, she began her education in elemental magic at the College of the Hall of Mages in The Swale. At the age of fourteen, Raelee completed the necessary work for her basic certification and registration as a user of elemental magic and continued on to a more advanced track with the goal of joining the ranks of the Magisters as the prior three generations of her paternal ancestors did. Before she began, Raelee arranged to transfer her enrollment to the college located in [[Elstreth]], citing that the degree of supervision she was under in The Swale was constraining her academic progress.

Able to fully dedicate herself to her studies without interference, Raelee flourished in Elstreth. In 5101, after five years of study in Elstreth, Raelee began a sabbatical, citing a desire to travel and broaden her education beyond of the confines at the Hall. Though the exact catalyst for her decision remains unknown, rumors suggested it might relate to the arrest of several members of a local cell of the [[Orders_of_the_Turamzzyrian_Empire#The_Erudites_of_Fash.27lo.27nae | Erudites of Fash'lo'nae]] following an experiment gone awry. Raelee began journeying northward up the Imperial coast, spending a year in [[Tamzyrr]] before continuing north to [[Vornavis]] and pausing her travels in the town of Solhaven in 5103.

==Appearance==
:You see Magister Raelee Svala the Scholar of the Hall of Mages.
:She appears to be a Human from Chastonia.
:She is shorter than average and has a small-boned build. She appears to have come of age. She has distant, gold-flecked snow white eyes and milky white skin. She has long, loosely ringleted copper red hair. She has a slender, porcelain-like countenance, made more striking by the rounded angles of her face.
:She has a quartet of tiny glyphs tattooed vertically along the inside of her left forearm, a pale pattern of gold lines and sigils tattooed up her right arm, an inky black sigil on her wrist, and a complex gold circular tattoo on the back of her right hand.

==Scholarship==
In her professional academic career, Raelee is both an accomplished author and lecturer. She is responsible for many notable works of scholarship:

* [[Solhaven anti-magic (essay) | A Survey of Notable Magical and Anti-Magical Phenomena within Solhaven, Vornavis and Surrounding Lands]] (5115, Modern Era)
* [[Mist Harbor Library Lectures - 2020-11-21 - On Temporal Magic (log)]] (5120, Modern Era)

==Vignettes==
Coming soon!

==Familiar==
In her years working in and around Solhaven and Wehnimer's Landing, Raelee's local presence can often be recognized by the presence of her familiar: a pale-faced coppery barn owl.

Physically, the owl is a typical male barn owl specimen. However, he is more more overtly friendly and social with people than one might expect of an owl. In addition, the owl has a penchant for eating sugary pastries, particularly muffins. Yet, the owl appears to suffer no ill-effects from such an unusual diet, perhaps due to his magical nature as a wizard's familiar.

Officially, the owl does not have a name. However, many of the citizens of the towns Raelee frequents have dubbed him with the simple moniker of "Owly."

Alteration

JADZIABLUE: Updating URL in link to Owly's alteration tool

{{TOCright}} The term '''alteration''' refers to a relatively common [[merchant]] service which allows for custom features or for items to be given custom descriptions. Occasionally [[tattoo]] creation or alteration services are also provided, but this is usually by a specialized merchant. Alteration is also used as a generic term for a merchant service (although that has largely been replaced by the term [[GALD]]).

==Item Alteration==
Item descriptions can be customized in one of four ways: [[base description|base]], [[long description|long]], [[show description|show]], and [[READ (verb)|read]] descriptions. Some alteration merchants may only provide a custom base description. This description is also known as the short description, tap description, or the 15/15/15. Some merchants may provide the custom base description in conjunction with either a custom long or show description. Some merchants may add writing to an item using the {{boldmono|READ}} verb.

''Note:'' Common general alterations were once limited to either a long or show description, though some special items (or special merchant services) allowed for both. Items with both a custom long and show description have become more commonplace although they typically require two alteration sessions to acquire - one to add the custom long description and one to add the custom show description.

===Base Description===
{{addmetext}} 

===Long Description===
{{#section:Long description|long description}}

See more information about the [[long description]] with examples at its page.

===Show Description===
The show description can be viewed using the {{boldmono|[[LOOK (verb)|LOOK]]}} verb on the item itself or the person holding the item using the {{boldmono|[[SHOW (verb)|SHOW]]}} verb to someone else. The show description will not appear when {{boldmono|LOOK}}ing at another character's appearance. Show descriptions can be a maximum of 511 characters, and there must be two spaces after the end of a sentence.

{{addmetext}} 

===READ Description===
{{addmetext}} 

==Feature Alteration==
Besides items, players may also get [[character feature|feature]] alterations on characters, adding unusual hair styles and colors, eye shapes, scars, birthmarks or other visual descriptors.

==Alteration Rules==
Player alteration designs can be denied by merchants for both policy and merchant in-character reasons. Merchants will also require players to provide any rare [[:Category:Materials|materials]] (including woods and metals labeled as rare/very rare in official documents, expensive/uncommon gems, and body parts). Players may also provide dyes to merchant to get certain effects such as "glowing." [[alchemy dyes|Glowing colors]] may only be made via [[alchemy]] (the full glowing color must be provided, but can be shortened from, say, "glowing emerald green" to "glowing green").

Standard alteration rules can be seen using the {{boldmono|[[ALTER (verb)|ALTER]]}} verb.

JADZIABLUE: /* Epic Treasure Pile - 25,000 seashells */ - Adding feystone-hued vultite battlesword info

===Gem Pile - 10 seashells===
<pre{{log2}}>[Caligos Isle, Bluff Head Trail] - 26438
Wisps of fog snake along the top of the plateau, sometimes obscuring the narrow path through short green bushes of salal and wax myrtle broken with patches of fragrant wild beach roses. Small glass-encased lanterns light the way along some crooked wooden stairs guided by a shaky rope handrail threaded through the eyes of iron posts. Another layer of coastal marine mist wavers overhead, often hiding and revealing an indigo star-filled sky, mimicking the wave activity on the black sand beach below. You also see a pile of common treasure, a pile of gems, a prominent sign on a flimsy stake, a wan sylvan beachgoer, a large oxidized pail and a narrow trail leading away from the edge of the bluff.
Obvious paths: none</pre>

===Common Treasure Pile - 5 seashells===
<pre{{log2}}>[Caligos Isle, Bluff Head Trail] - 26438
Wisps of fog snake along the top of the plateau, sometimes obscuring the narrow path through short green bushes of salal and wax myrtle broken with patches of fragrant wild beach roses. Small glass-encased lanterns light the way along some crooked wooden stairs guided by a shaky rope handrail threaded through the eyes of iron posts. Another layer of coastal marine mist wavers overhead, often hiding and revealing an indigo star-filled sky, mimicking the wave activity on the black sand beach below. You also see a pile of common treasure, a pile of gems, a prominent sign on a flimsy stake, a wan sylvan beachgoer, a large oxidized pail and a narrow trail leading away from the edge of the bluff.

===Uncommon Treasure Pile - 25 seashells===
<pre{{log2}}>[Caligos Isle, Upper Berm] - 26589
Cresting the slope of the berm, and at the farthest point from the waterline, hardy tufts of beach grass poke up through the dark sand, preventing storms and high winds from eroding the narrow shelf. Close by, a bumbling aelotoi tourist mills about on a raised log platform loosely bound together by strands of torn, dirty cloth. You also see a pile of uncommon treasure, a shallow wooden bin and a prominent sign on a flimsy stake.

===Rare Treasure Pile - 125 seashells===
<pre{{log2}}>[Caligos Isle, Mysterious Crypt] - 28547
A lone stone sarcophagus rests in the center of the crypt, seemingly unscathed by time or abuse. The creation of the passage through the northern wall has all but destroyed a series of runic dwarven scrawlings in the stone, whatever message had been carved there completely illegible due not only to the missing pieces but the cracks and crumbling of the scant remains. All that is left of the once-telling stone lies in crumbled piles crowded in the groove between the crypt wall and floor. You also see a pile of rare treasure.

===Epic Treasure Pile - 10,000 seashells===
<pre{{log2}}>[Caligos Isle, Desolate Islet] - 27641
The landscape of the islet is entirely void of any vegetation and life. The rocky surface is covered in old bones and small white shells. A crumbling stone mausoleum is all that stands on the center of the island. Waves wash up over the shoreline, slowly swallowing the remaining terrain of the islet. You also see the Drekoi disk, a pile of epic treasure and a graveyard of white monir gondolas.

===Epic Treasure Pile - 25,000 seashells===
<pre{{log2}}>[Caligos Isle, Desolate Islet] - 27641
The landscape of the islet is entirely void of any vegetation and life. The rocky surface is covered in old bones and small white shells. A crumbling stone mausoleum is all that stands on the center of the island. Waves wash up over the shoreline, slowly swallowing the remaining terrain of the islet. You also see a pile of epic treasure and a graveyard of white monir gondolas.

JADZIABLUE:

I wanted to ask a question about this phrase: "Kasendra was the highest ranking noble NPC prior to the appearance of Emperor Aurmont at the Valley of Gold."

Is this intended to mean she was the highest-ranking noble NPC ever? Or is it meaning highest ranking at VoG (is that the case)?

If it is the former, that's not entirely accurate... Earl Jovery, who has appeared many times over the years, is not outranked by the daughter of his southern counterpart - as an example. If it is the latter or another meaning, it should probably be rephrased for some additional clarity on the context.

:I do not have an answer for you, but it was FIREPHOENIX that added that statement and if you post on their talk page https://gswiki.play.net/User_talk:FIREPHOENIX it will generate a message for them ("you have a new message") next time they log in to the wiki and will increase the chances of them seeing your question. Also, for adding your wiki ID and date of your text use four ~ in a row (~ ~ ~ ~ without the spaces). This helps quickly follow the flow of the conversation.

JADZIABLUE: JADZIABLUE uploaded a new version of File:MirrorAlone-2017ArtContest-Raelee.jpg

The winning entry for the 2017 Elven Artwork Contest, by the player of Raelee.

This is a portrait of the Argent Mirror, Myasara Illistim, taking a moment alone in the morning, away from the court and away from the practiced formality that's so often demanded of her. A dried black rose is tucked away in the pages of her book, the symbol of Laethe and a reminder of her lost love - Caylio. She allows her mind to wander away from her reading, thinking of him while watching the airships dock in the distance and breathing in the scent of the fresh mournblooms.
