Additional adjustments made by Berkana LeJardine)]]<br /> <br /> Luminary '''Berkana LeJardine-Faendryl,''' the Enigma and Scourge of Eorgina, is a dark elven sorceress and devout follower of [[Eorgina]]. She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her practicing tasseography at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with House Brigatta's cook — when not prowling around in the Sanctum or the Hinterwild.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship. The acolyte had a major break with reality and was never seen again — something that likely highly pleased [[Eorgina]]. During an invasion of [[vathor]] in [[Ta'Illistim]], she watched dispassionately from the rooftop garden of the Moonglae Inn with then-lover, Mithumbras, as the city burned while they both sipped wine, a small smile playing upon her lips, knowing that her Queen would delight in this turn of events.<br /> <br /> Berkana served as co-chairperson of House Brigatta from early 5012 until almost exactly 11 years later, when she passed the keys to her good friend and successor, [[Lylia]] Rashere. She still enjoys the comfort there, and within her retreat in the Villa Brigatta garden on Teras Isle.<br /> <br /> == '''Relationships''' ==<br /> There are very few men that have kept Berkana interested. She was in the company of Cosgrave Temaraire for about two-and-a-half years, which ended in 5106. There was a very brief fling of a few weeks with Picler Ralduvian before his untimely disappearance in 5112. She engaged in some mild flirtations since that time, until she met [[Faendryl]] Aurach Moonshadew in 5114. Their two-year relationship ended tumultuously in the spring of 5116, and she left his home in [[Ta'Illistim]] to return to the familiarity of the Landing, where she met [[Talinvor]], a [[Dhe'nar]]. After several weeks of trying to tempt him, she asked to become his shira'qa, and spent another two years by his side until he released her in Fashanos 5118. <br /> <br /> In Koaratos of 5119, Berkana reacquainted socially with Blades Clanners, and they were often together for the next several months... until he wandered off again near the start of 5120.<br /> <br /> There had only been one man who had captured her heart completely -— Mithumbras Soulcraft. He had been a constant in her life since late 5097 until he left Elanthia in late 5117, having often wandered off from time to time, but always returning, and returning to her. Beyond that, casual encounters were exceedingly rare, as delight without some lasting care and affection was unrewarding and unsatisfying.<br /> <br /> Then... during the first half of Ivastaen 5121, [[Telagan_(prime)|Telagan]] Vangauri, who had also returned from a long voyage, crossed paths with Berkana (who he'd met many years ago). They've been creating mayhem and mischief ever since, wherever they go.<br /> <br /> Few women can get past their envy and jealousy to become friends with Berkana, but those who do find they have a very loyal and trusted friend. Many may find her risqué wardrobe, cunning wit, brazen forwardness, and fierce attitude intimidating — though she'll cloak her demeanor in a veil of politeness while assessing weaknesses — much like a cat watching her prey.<br /> <br /> Berkana considers herself to be highly intuitive, with a good ability to assess people for their honesty and genuineness. If she finds someone is a liar or insincere, she'll either outwardly continue to be polite, yet keep a safe distance from them, or she'll excise them out of her life without a word. To engage in deception, unless by devious plan, would otherwise be a waste of time, as well as of no service to Eorgina.<br /> <br /> == '''Controversies''' ==<br /> While serving as the Head Priestess for the Circle of the Grey Moon (Order of Eorgina), an impulsive and brash acolyte continuously pushed Berkana for an undue promotion despite displaying beliefs and behaviors increasingly incongruent with the Order. In a cold move, upon yet another demand to be elevated from the acolyte, Berkana turned to one of the novitiates standing nearby, elevated her to Priestess instead, and divested herelf of all the trappings of the office of High Priestess, bestowing them on the newly appointed head of the Order. The acolyte, after pitching a fit of pique, was never seen again, and Berkana adopted a quiet retreat of worship.<br /> <br /> While performing during the first [[Revelia Carnivale|Revelia Carnivale]] in the year 5121, Berkana, [[Xanthium_(prime)|Xanthium]], and [[Kothos_(prime)|Kothos]] displayed their dance/fire dance and aerial silks skills in the House Brigatta gardens. Toward the end of her show, Berkana's silks caught fire and singed the great banyan tree. If one examines it closely, they might still see the scorching.<br /> <br /> == '''Appearance''' ==<br /> As of the 10th day of Lormesta in the year 5126:<br /> :You see Luminary Berkana LeJardine Faendryl the Scourge of Eorgina.<br /> :<br /> :She is slightly taller than average and has a willowy yet curvaceous figure.

She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her practicing tasseography at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with House Brigatta's cook — when not prowling around in the Sanctum or the Hinterwild.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship. The acolyte had a major break with reality and was never seen again — something that likely highly pleased [[Eorgina]]. During an invasion of [[vathor]] in [[Ta'Illistim]], she watched dispassionately from the rooftop garden of the Moonglae Inn with Mithumbras, as the city burned while they both sipped wine, a small smile playing upon her lips, knowing that her Queen would delight in this turn of events.<br /> <br /> Berkana served as co-chairperson of House Brigatta from early 5012 until almost exactly 11 years later, when she passed the keys to her good friend and successor, [[Lylia]] Rashere. She still enjoys the comfort there, and within her retreat in the Villa Brigatta garden on Teras Isle.<br /> <br /> == '''Relationships''' ==<br /> There are very few men that have kept Berkana interested. She was in the company of Cosgrave Temaraire for about two-and-a-half years, which ended in 5106. There was a very brief fling of a few weeks with Picler Ralduvian before his untimely disappearance in 5112. She engaged in some mild flirtations since that time, until she met [[Faendryl]] Aurach Moonshadew in 5114. Their two-year relationship ended in the spring of 5116, and she left his home in [[Ta'Illistim]] to return to the Landing, where she met [[Talinvor]], a [[Dhe'nar]]. After several weeks of trying to tempt him, she asked to become his shira'qa, and spent another two years by his side until he released her in Fashanos 5118. <br /> <br /> In Koaratos of 5119, Berkana reacquainted socially with Blades Clanners, and they were often together for the next several months... until he wandered off again at the start of 5120.<br /> <br /> There was only one man who had captured her heart completely — Mithumbras Soulcraft. He had been a constant in her life since late 5097 until he left Elanthia in late 5117, having often wandered off from time to time, but always returning. Beyond that, casual encounters were exceedingly rare, as delight without some lasting affection was unrewarding and unsatisfying.<br /> <br /> Then... during the first half of Ivastaen 5121, [[Telagan_(prime)|Telagan]] Vangauri, who had also returned from a long voyage, crossed paths with Berkana (who he'd met many years ago). They've been creating mayhem and mischief since, wherever they go.<br /> <br /> Few women can get past their envy and jealousy to become friends with Berkana, but those who do find they have a very loyal and trusted friend. Many may find her risqué wardrobe, cunning wit, brazen forwardness, and fierce attitude intimidating — though she'll cloak her demeanor in a veil of politeness while assessing weaknesses — much like a cat watching her prey.<br /> <br /> Berkana considers herself to be highly intuitive, with a good ability to assess people for their honesty and genuineness. If she finds someone is a liar or insincere, she'll either outwardly continue to be polite, yet keep a safe distance from them, or she'll excise them out of her life without a word. To engage in deception, unless by devious plan, would otherwise be a waste of time, as well as of no service to Eorgina.<br /> <br /> == '''Controversies''' ==<br /> While serving as the Head Priestess for the Circle of the Grey Moon (Order of Eorgina), an impulsive and brash acolyte continuously pushed Berkana for an undue promotion despite displaying beliefs and behaviors increasingly incongruent with the Order. In a cold move, upon yet another demand to be elevated from the acolyte, Berkana turned to one of the novitiates standing nearby, elevated her to Priestess instead, and divested herelf of all the trappings of the office of High Priestess, bestowing them on the newly appointed head of the Order. The acolyte, after pitching a fit of pique, was never seen again, and Berkana adopted a quiet retreat of worship.<br /> <br /> While performing during the first [[Revelia Carnivale|Revelia Carnivale]] in the year 5121, Berkana, [[Xanthium_(prime)|Xanthium]], and [[Kothos_(prime)|Kothos]] displayed their dance/fire dance and aerial silks skills in the House Brigatta gardens. Toward the end of her show, Berkana's silks caught fire and singed the great banyan tree.

She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her practicing tasseography at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with House Brigatta's cook — when not prowling around in the Sanctum or the Hinterwild.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication.

She appears to be in the flower of life. She has sultry kohl-lashed, silver-limned venom green eyes and flawless, soft ivory skin.

Additional adjustments made by Berkana LeJardine)]]<br /> <br /> Luminary '''Berkana LeJardine-Faendryl,''' the Enigma and Scourge of Eorgina, is a dark elven sorceress and devout follower of [[Eorgina]]. She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her practicing tasseography at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with House Brigatta's cook — when not prowling around in the Sanctum or the Hinterwild.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship. The acolyte had a major break with reality and was never seen again — something that likely highly pleased [[Eorgina]]. During an invasion of [[vathor]] in [[Ta'Illistim]], she watched dispassionately from the rooftop garden of the Moonglae Inn with Mithumbras, as the city burned while they both sipped wine, a small smile playing upon her lips, knowing that her Queen would delight in this turn of events.<br /> <br /> Berkana served as co-chairperson of House Brigatta from early 5012 until almost exactly 11 years later, when she passed the keys to her good friend and successor, [[Lylia]] Rashere. She still enjoys the comfort there, and within her retreat in the Villa Brigatta garden on Teras Isle.<br /> <br /> == '''Relationships''' ==<br /> There are very few men that have kept Berkana interested. She was in the company of Cosgrave Temaraire for about two-and-a-half years, which ended in 5106. There was a very brief fling of a few weeks with Picler Ralduvian before his untimely disappearance in 5112. She engaged in some mild flirtations since that time, until she met [[Faendryl]] Aurach Moonshadew in 5114. Their two-year relationship ended in the spring of 5116, and she left his home in [[Ta'Illistim]] to return to the Landing, where she met [[Talinvor]], a [[Dhe'nar]]. After several weeks of trying to tempt him, she asked to become his shira'qa, and spent another two years by his side until he released her in Fashanos 5118. <br /> <br /> In Koaratos of 5119, Berkana reacquainted socially with Blades Clanners, and they were often together for the next several months... until he wandered off again at the start of 5120.<br /> <br /> There was only one man who had captured her heart completely — Mithumbras Soulcraft. He had been a constant in her life since late 5097 until he left Elanthia in late 5117, having often wandered off from time to time, but always returning. Beyond that, casual encounters were exceedingly rare, as delight without some lasting affection was unrewarding and unsatisfying.<br /> <br /> Then... during the first half of Ivastaen 5121, [[Telagan_(prime)|Telagan]] Vangauri, who had also returned from a long voyage, crossed paths with Berkana (who he'd met many years ago).

Additional adjustments made by Berkana LeJardine)]]<br /> <br /> Luminary '''Berkana LeJardine-Faendryl,''' the Enigma and Scourge of Eorgina, is a dark elven sorceress and devout follower of [[Eorgina]]. She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her practicing tasseography at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with House Brigatta's cook — when not prowling around in the Sanctum.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship. The acolyte had a major break with reality and was never seen again — something that likely highly pleased [[Eorgina]]. During an invasion of [[vathor]] in [[Ta'Illistim]], she watched dispassionately from the rooftop garden of the Moonglae Inn with Mithumbras, as the city burned while they both sipped wine, a small smile playing upon her lips, knowing that her Queen would delight in this turn of events.<br /> <br /> Berkana served as co-chairperson of House Brigatta from early 5012 until almost exactly 11 years later, when she passed the keys to her good friend and successor, [[Lylia]] Rashere. She still enjoys the comfort there, and within her retreat in the Villa Brigatta garden on Teras Isle.<br /> <br /> == '''Relationships''' ==<br /> There are very few men that have kept Berkana interested. She was in the company of Cosgrave Temaraire for about two-and-a-half years, which ended in 5106. There was a very brief fling of a few weeks with Picler Ralduvian before his untimely disappearance in 5112. She engaged in some mild flirtations since that time, until she met [[Faendryl]] Aurach Moonshadew in 5114. Their two-year relationship ended in the spring of 5116, and she left his home in [[Ta'Illistim]] to return to the Landing, where she met [[Talinvor]], a [[Dhe'nar]]. After several weeks of trying to tempt him, she asked to become his shira'qa, and spent another two years by his side until he released her in Fashanos 5118. <br /> <br /> In Koaratos of 5119, Berkana reacquainted socially with Blades Clanners, and they were often together for the next several months... until he wandered off again at the start of 5120.<br /> <br /> There was only one man who had captured her heart completely, and he had been in and out of her life since late 5097 until late 5117, and has often wandered off for years at a time. Beyond that, casual encounters were exceedingly rare, as delight without some lasting affection was unrewarding and unsatisfying.<br /> <br /> Then... during the first half of Ivastaen 5121, [[Telagan_(prime)|Telagan]] Vangauri, who had also returned from a long voyage, crossed paths with Berkana (who he'd met many years ago). They've been creating mayhem and mischief wherever they go.<br /> <br /> Few women can get past their envy and jealousy to become friends with Berkana, but those who do find they have a very loyal and trusted friend. Many may find her risqué wardrobe, cunning wit, brazen forwardness, and fierce attitude intimidating — though she'll cloak her demeanor in a veil of politeness while assessing weaknesses — much like a cat watching her prey.<br /> <br /> Berkana considers herself to be highly intuitive, with a good ability to assess people for their honesty and genuineness. If she finds someone is a liar or insincere, she'll either outwardly continue to be polite, yet keep a safe distance from them, or she'll excise them out of her life without a word. To engage in deception, unless by devious plan, would otherwise be a waste of time, as well as of no service to Eorgina.<br /> <br /> == '''Controversies''' ==<br /> While serving as the Head Priestess for the Circle of the Grey Moon (Order of Eorgina), an impulsive and brash acolyte continuously pushed Berkana for an undue promotion despite displaying beliefs and behaviors increasingly incongruent with the Order. In a cold move, upon yet another demand to be elevated from the acolyte, Berkana turned to one of the novitiates standing nearby, elevated her to Priestess instead, and divested herelf of all the trappings of the office of High Priestess, bestowing them on the newly appointed head of the Order. The acolyte, after pitching a fit of pique, was never seen again, and Berkana adopted a quiet retreat of worship.<br /> <br /> While performing during the first [[Revelia Carnivale|Revelia Carnivale]] in the year 5121, Berkana, [[Xanthium_(prime)|Xanthium]], and [[Kothos_(prime)|Kothos]] displayed their dance/fire dance and aerial silks skills in the House Brigatta gardens. Toward the end of her show, Berkana's silks caught fire and singed the great banyan tree.

<p>LAVENDER: /* Silverwolf, Reddwolf and Glima */</p> <hr /> <div>{{TOCright}}'''Halcyon Hills''' is a large creature-free area located outside of the [[Wehnimer's Landing]] gates, just south of [[Melgorehn's Reach]].

The marble has been intricately feathered to form the bodies of each swan, with sinuously carved necks raised in an expression of strength and elegance. Each swan faces the other, with heads bowed slightly, so that the necks form the shape of a heart. The lower part of each swan melds into black marble, forming a base that is engraved with roses embedded with pink resin. A flourish of recessed carved leaves adorn the front and sides. There appears to be something written on the base.<br /> <br /> Carved into the marble, it reads:<br /> <br /> &quot;In remembrance of Lissanne, the embodiment of the warrior spirit and Demianna, from whom we will continue to draw strength. Forever in our hearts.&quot;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> ===Zzentar===<br /> ;A polished marble statue<br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> Chiseled in white marble with streaks of red and grey is the image of a [[dark elf|dark elven]] mage. With his gaze directed skyward, a gentle smile plays across his features. To his chest is clutched a slender, etched runestaff. Delicately carved from thin, red-streaked marble, a raised banner furls above him and drapes across one shoulder. At the base of the statue rests an elegantly scribed plaque.<br /> <br /> In the Common language, it reads:<br /> <br /> In Memory of our dear friend Zzentar, who generously shared his knowledge and friendship across these lands. <br /> ~~He will live on in the hearts of all those touched by his gentle spirit.~~<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> ===Bisco===<br /> ;A large dark granite statue<br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> Shaped from smooth dark granite, the statue is that of a short [[giantman]] with thin hair sprouting out wildly from all directions of his head, and a baker's apron stretched across an enormously rotund belly. His marbled eyes sparkle and his lips are chiseled into an eternal, whimsical smile while his hand clutches a large beer stein.<br /> <br /> There appears to be something written on it.<br /> <br /> Positioned before the statue's feet is a biscuit-shaped stone plaque that reads, &quot;In Remembrance of Bisco. The heat of a thousand kilns could never rival the warmth your memory holds in our hearts.&quot;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> ===Kali Sablefen -- Leaping Falls===<br /> ;A carved granite gravestone<br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> _______________<br /> / \<br /> | |<br /> | Here Lies One |<br /> | Who Was Much |<br /> | Beloved |<br /> | |<br /> | 5060 - 5103 |<br /> | |<br /> | |<br /> _|_______________|_<br /> <br /> There appears to be something written on it.<br /> <br /> In the Common language, it reads:<br /> <br /> Here Lies One<br /> Who Was Much<br /> Beloved<br /> <br /> 5060 - 5103<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Dame [[Wanton (prime)|Wanton Destruction]] -- Gladiator Falls ===<br /> ;A statue<br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> The figure is tall and its graceful head slightly bowed. Resting on the pommel of a magnificent sword, its hands are slightly crossed, with arms held loosely at its side. While the statue is obviously female, it projects all the finest qualities of both genders: strength, beauty, benevolence, and wisdom.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Lady Daryann Stormrider -- Archer Falls===<br /> ;Nothing at this time<br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ===GM Fawn===<br /> ;A statue<br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> Carved from stone, the statue of a doe stands serenely within the meadow grass and wildflowers. The head is lifted, surveying the far horizon, and its ears are pricked. While the doe's posture suggests a brief moment of contemplation, the sculpture's classic style and weathered stone convey an ageless permanence.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> ===Silverwolf, Reddwolf, and Glima===<br /> ;A smooth gray granite bench <br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> Smooth gray granite gives bulk to the well-worn bench. Gracing the seat at one end, a lean wolf lays quietly, the details of face and fur lined in hammered silver, and a great wolf has been crafted of polished red coral on the opposite side. Between these two kneels a shadowed figure drawn in ebon and onyx. Glinting darkly at his throat is a ruby fire elemental talisman. The word &quot;Beloved&quot; is hidden among the trees that form a subtle background for the two regal beasts and their shadowed friend.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Twoflame Widdershins===<br /> ;A polished marble statue<br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> Carved from white marble is a figure resembling a female half-elven rogue with long curly hair. The figure holds a silver plaque and at the base of the statue are a flock of ducks. Being held by the hand of the statue, a silver plaque reads, &quot;God love a duck!&quot;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> ===Tom Zelinski===<br /> Tom was a co-founder of [[Simutronics]].<br /> ;A leaf-covered wooden cabin<br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> [Tomas' Office]<br /> You're standing within the study of '''the Legendary Tomas'''. Rich and ancient walls of polished modwir wood softens and slightly darkens the glow of several tall candles scattered about.

<p>LAVENDER: /* Kali */</p> <hr /> <div>{{TOCright}}'''Halcyon Hills''' is a large creature-free area located outside of the [[Wehnimer's Landing]] gates, just south of [[Melgorehn's Reach]]. The area hosts memorials to [[character]]s of players who have passed in real life. <br /> <br /> Players are reminded that all items left in this area are likely in memory of someone.<br /> <br /> The [[Legend of Halcyon Hills]] explains its existence.<br /> <br /> ==Behind the Scenes==<br /> When it opened about 2003, the [[GameMaster]]s decided to not put names on any of the memorials; thus, anything in the area that is a flower, tree, bench, or bier is a memorial to someone.

The marble has been intricately feathered to form the bodies of each swan, with sinuously carved necks raised in an expression of strength and elegance. Each swan faces the other, with heads bowed slightly, so that the necks form the shape of a heart. The lower part of each swan melds into black marble, forming a base that is engraved with roses embedded with pink resin. A flourish of recessed carved leaves adorn the front and sides. There appears to be something written on the base.<br /> <br /> Carved into the marble, it reads:<br /> <br /> &quot;In remembrance of Lissanne, the embodiment of the warrior spirit and Demianna, from whom we will continue to draw strength. Forever in our hearts.&quot;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> ===Zzentar===<br /> ;A polished marble statue<br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> Chiseled in white marble with streaks of red and grey is the image of a [[dark elf|dark elven]] mage. With his gaze directed skyward, a gentle smile plays across his features. To his chest is clutched a slender, etched runestaff. Delicately carved from thin, red-streaked marble, a raised banner furls above him and drapes across one shoulder. At the base of the statue rests an elegantly scribed plaque.<br /> <br /> In the Common language, it reads:<br /> <br /> In Memory of our dear friend Zzentar, who generously shared his knowledge and friendship across these lands. <br /> ~~He will live on in the hearts of all those touched by his gentle spirit.~~<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> ===Bisco===<br /> ;A large dark granite statue<br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> Shaped from smooth dark granite, the statue is that of a short [[giantman]] with thin hair sprouting out wildly from all directions of his head, and a baker's apron stretched across an enormously rotund belly.

The head is lifted, surveying the far horizon, and its ears are pricked. While the doe's posture suggests a brief moment of contemplation, the sculpture's classic style and weathered stone convey an ageless permanence.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> ===Silverwolf, Reddwolf and Glima===<br /> ;A smooth gray granite bench <br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> Smooth gray granite gives bulk to the well-worn bench. Gracing the seat at one end, a lean wolf lays quietly, the details of face and fur lined in hammered silver, and a great wolf has been crafted of polished red coral on the opposite side. Between these two kneels a shadowed figure drawn in ebon and onyx. Glinting darkly at his throat is a ruby fire elemental talisman. The word &quot;Beloved&quot; is hidden among the trees that form a subtle background for the two regal beasts and their shadowed friend.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> ===Twoflame Widdershins===<br /> ;A polished marble statue<br /> &lt;pre{{log2}}&gt;<br /> Carved from white marble is a figure resembling a female half-elven rogue with long curly hair.

<p>LAVENDER: /* Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell */</p> <hr /> <div>{{spell<br /> | mnemonic = MSUMMON<br /> | base_dur = 1200 sec<br /> | add_dur = +60 sec per [[Sorcerer Base|rank]]<br /> | span = [[Refreshable]], special<br /> | type = Utility<br /> | subtype = Summoning<br /> | skill = None<br /> | components = None, [[Runestone]]<br /> | availability = None<br /> | navigation = {{Sorcerer base navigation}}<br /> }}<br /> __TOC__<br /> In one swift motion, the demonologist pierces the [[veil]] between [[valence]]s, seeks a suitable [[Demon|being]] to enslave for menial chores, pulls them through the tear, and finally links them to their original existence so they may be returned there. [[Rune]]s are used as the focus for this magic, and more complex [[rune]]s can be used to target more specific [[Demon archetype|archetypes]] of [[minor demon]]s.<br /> <br /> Once summoned into this realm, these servants are capable of performing a myriad of [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|utility functions]] such as carrying the sorcerer's [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] which will allow them to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. Other highlights include carrying [[Minor Summoning (725)#Carrying Items|objects]], [[Minor Summoning (725)#Holding Coins|silvers]], and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|mana]], or [[Minor Summoning (725)#Find a Character|finding]] and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Deliver a Message|delivering messages to]] other characters, and even [[Minor Summoning (725)#Guard &amp; Cease|guarding]] their master's pockets from [[Pickpocketing|thieves]]. Demons summoned by this spell are ''not'' dangerous unless retaliating at a pickpocket, and otherwise cannot participate in the [[combat system]].<br /> <br /> === Usage ===<br /> * &lt;TT&gt;PREP 725|[[CAST]] {[[runestone]]}&lt;/tt&gt;, or &lt;tt&gt;PREP 725|SUMMON {DEMON}&lt;/tt&gt; to initiate. <br /> *To summon a specific demon, hyphenate the rune then the demon. SUMMON LORAE'TYR-IGAESHA, for example. You may also enter SUMMON by itself to display a list. Using {{mono|[[SUMMON]] {DEMON} }}will incur a 50% success rate penalty (see below).<br /> * The &lt;tt&gt;[[TELL (verb)|TELL MDEMON]]&lt;/tt&gt; command displays a full list of commands for the demon. Each [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|ability]] is also outlined within this article.<br /> <br /> === Demon Link &amp; Expiration ===<br /> <br /> Originally, demonologists used the link as a threat to keep the demon in line. Severing the link would strand the demon forever, unable to return home. This version of the magic is designed with safeguards against such an act, otherwise punishable by death. Thus the caster may [[Minor Summoning (725)#Leave|terminate the link]] at any time, returning the demon to its original plane. The link will be broken automatically if the caster dies or when the spell expires. Once having summoned, the caster may not summon again for five minutes due to the exertion caused by interplanar summoning. If the summoner fails a cast, they may not attempt again for ten full minutes.<br /> <br /> Two [[lesser demon]]s, the [[abyran'ra]] and the [[oculoth]] have the ability and motivation to break your control upon a [[minor demon]]. While the abyran'ra will only attempt to break your control over [[abyran|abyran'a]] and [[abyran|abyran'sa]] demons, the oculoth will attempt to break your control over any type of demon. However, it is not a guarantee that they will break it. The primary factor for fending off this attempt is Demonology ranks. If you lose, your connection to your demon will break, and you will be severely stunned. If you succeed, you are left unharmed, and the demon who attempted it will be stunned instead. The oculoth, given its nature as a more magically inclined demon, is more skilled at breaking the connection than an abyran'ra. In the case of a [[lithe black abyran'ra]] attempting to break a sorcerer's link with an [[abyran'sa]], it has been demonstrated that 200 Demonology ranks are required to successfully push back against the attempt with 100% certainty; it appears that [[Sorcerer Base]] ranks, [[Aura]], and [[Wisdom]] may also make secondary contributions to resisting the abyran'ra.<br /> <br /> '''The link is [[refreshable]] to the original duration by rubbing a [[vakra (rune)|vakra]] runestone.'''<br /> <br /> === Success Rate and Lore Benefits ===<br /> <br /> Summoning a demon '''with a runestone''' and '''within a summoning chamber''' will provide the following chances:<br /> <br /> *Valence runestones will have a 100% base chance<br /> *Demon runestones will have a 50% base chance<br /> *Archetype runestones will have a 25% base chance<br /> <br /> An attempt to summon without a runestone will incur a 50 percentage point penalty on the caster's chance to summon the demon. <br /> <br /> Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] will increase the chance for success by +1% per rank. Demonology Lore will also provide bonuses to the mana and silver capacities of applicable demons (see below).<br /> <br /> &lt;div {{prettydiv|margin-right=300px}}&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;b&gt;<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; = Base Chance + SL,D ranks<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/o runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 50<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 25<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/o runestone = Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 75<br /> <br /> Where Base Chance = 100% for valence runestones (V), 50% for demon runestones (D), and 25% for archetype runestones (A)<br /> &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}} align=&quot;left&quot;<br /> |+'''BASE PERCENT CHANCE TO SUMMON'''<br /> |+ &lt;small&gt;''V=Valence, D=Demon, A=Archetype''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! rowspan=&quot;3&quot;|Demon&lt;br&gt;Lore&lt;br&gt;Ranks||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Summoning Chamber||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Everywhere Else<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> !

Since the 25% benefit to summoning chambers is &quot;approximate,&quot; table is approximate. Also, '''difficulty varies depending on valence, demon, or archetype'''. Abyran'sa requires 100 ranks in Demonology to summon with a runestone in a summoning chamber with 100% success.''<br /> <br /> == Summoning Chambers ==<br /> <br /> [[Summoning chamber]]s are special areas which are sensitive to the piercing of the veil, increasing the ease with which sorcerers employ this magic. Casting within a chamber will provide a 25 percentage point bonus to success rate. Additionally, the extra 600 seconds will be applied when refreshing the duration in a chamber as well. <br /> <br /> All [[Sorcerer Guild]]s contain a summoning chamber. They are also located in some [[CHE]] structures.<br /> <br /> == Demons and the Law ==<br /> <br /> Due to tactics the [[Faendryl]] used during the [[Undead War]], the summoning and use of demons is widely shunned by most Elanthians. Demons are therefore subject to justice mechanics in all towns except [[Icemule Trace]], [[Mist Harbor]], and [[Wehnimer's Landing]] (since Feb. 2018). Special demon permits may be purchased in both [[Zul Logoth]] and [[Kharam Dzu]], but are otherwise considered illegal. The [[Sorcerer Guild]] teaches the [[Illusions]] [[guild skill|skill]] which can be used to cloak the demon's true image, allowing them to bypass the law as long as they remain obfuscated. Though demon illusions are permanent until dispelled, certain demons performing particular actions will cause the illusion to drop as well. A demon will automatically remain outside of town unless told to follow into town.<br /> <br /> Demons may still roam free in areas outside of the Justice System. Use [[JUSTICE (verb)|JUSTICE STATUS]] to determine whether an area is within jurisdiction.<br /> <br /> A sorcerer can command an undisguised demon to automatically enter or not enter a town with the MDEMON command.<br /> <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN ON}} instructs the demon to enter towns even if if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN OFF}} instructs the demon to not enter towns if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> <br /> == Minor Demon Abilities ==<br /> <br /> ''This information was originally harvested from [http://gsdemonologist.tripod.com/index.html Hakwea's Demonologist Handbook].''<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#99ff99|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 2 |[[Grik'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 4 |[[Lorae'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 3 |[[Shien'tyr (rune)]]<br /> |- align=center bgcolor=#cccccc <br /> !width=100|Ability<br /> ![[Grik]]<br /> ![[Imp]]<br /> ![[Abyran]]<br /> ![[Grantris]]<br /> ![[Igaesha]]<br /> ![[Verlok]]<br /> ![[Aishan]]<br /> ![[Shien]]<br /> ![[Arashan]]<br /> |- align=center<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|[[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|Hold Mana]]<br /> |Yes<br /> |Yes <br /> |Yes<br /> |&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;

Subject to the skill of the summoner and demon, vs. difficulty of finding that character. [[Stalking and Hiding|Hidden]] and [[Invisibility (916)|invisible]] characters are more difficult to locate. Additionally, increased difficulty in finding targets will cause the demon to take longer at the task. Only targets in the same area can be targeted successfully.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Deliver a Message &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DELIVER {character} {message} }}instructs the demon to speak to another character on the caster's behalf<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER {demon} {message} }}is for other characters to reply to a demon's message<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER MIST {message} }}is used to communicate using shien's special message capability<br /> <br /> Applicable demons will convey a message to a person for you. The target of the message may then reply, but there is wait time before the demon can deliver additional messages. The [[shien]] possess a unique method of delivery, which allows messages to be relayed in real time, without pause. This requires the summoner's room to be [[Light (205)|dark]]. Only targets in the same area can have messages delivered to them.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carry &amp; Release &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CARRY}} instructs the demon to pick up and carry an eye<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON RELEASE}} instructs the demon to release the eye into the room<br /> <br /> [[Eye Spy (707)]] can be used in conjunction with a demon in order to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. While the demon is holding the eye, only basic things can be seen. However, the eye can be released and grasped again without restriction. While independent, the eye maintains its full range of sight. Be cautious not to leave the eye stranded, as there is no command to send the demon directly to an eye. The eye is considered an item, thus the demon cannot carry it if already holding its [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|maximum capacity]]. This function is also very useful to easily cast mass [[Evil Eye (717)]].<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carrying Items &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GET {item} }}instructs the demon to pick up an object<br /> * {{mono|GIVE {demon} }}gives the demon the object you are holding in the caster's right hand<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {caster} }}demon will give an item it is currently carrying to the caster<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DROP {item} }}instructs the demon to drop an item it is carrying<br /> <br /> Certain demons ([[aishan]] &amp; [[igaesha]]) will accept more items given to them by their master directly, rather than picking them up. &quot;Get&quot; in the table refers to the number of items a demon will pick up and carry on its own (i.e. remotely). &quot;Hold if Given&quot; is the amount of items the demon can accept if handed to them by their summoner. Demons can hold a maximum of items equivalent to their &quot;Hold if Given&quot; value. Carrying an [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] counts as one item.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Holding Coins &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|[[GIVE]] {demon} {#} }}will give silver coins to the demon <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {#} }}instructs the demon to give the caster the coins it is carrying<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Coins&quot; + &quot;Coins per Rank&quot; determines the maximum amount of silver coins applicable demons may carry. For example, an [[imp]] (500 base) summoned by a sorcerer with 20 ranks (40 additional per rank) of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill could hold 1300 coins total (500 + [20*40] = 1300). Demons will not return coins automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Mana Sharing &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|SEND {#} {demon} }}sends mana to the demon<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SEND {#} }}instructs the demon to send mana to the caster<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Mana&quot; + &quot;Additional Mana&quot; determines the total amount of [[mana]] each demon can hold. 'Bonus' in this situation refers to the numerical bonus corresponding to the number of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill ranks (use the [[SKILLS (verb)|SKILLS]] command to view). For example, an [[igaesha]] (base mana of 12) summoned by a sorcerer with 50 ranks of demonology (skill bonus of 150) would be able to store a maximum of 27 mana (12 + [150/10] = 27). Demons which hold more mana are also more efficient at transferring it. Demons will not return mana automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> [[Channeling crystal]]s made via [[alchemy]] can be used by both demon and master to transfer more mana between the two.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Guard &amp; Cease &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GUARD}} instructs the demon to guard the caster from pickpockets<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CEASE}} instructs the demon to ceases guarding<br /> <br /> If the demon is in its summoner's room, they can be instructed to help notice characters attempting to [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]] their master. Each demon, depending upon their body type, will have a particular &quot;Attack Type&quot; they retaliate with automatically if either the master or demon is successful in noticing the thief. The attacks of certain demons will inflict a &quot;flare type&quot; (i.e. disease, lightning, etc.) upon the victim, in addition to the initial damage.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Scout &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SCOUT}} instructs the demon to scout the surrounding area for characters, creatures, and other minor demons<br /> <br /> The demon will leave the immediate room for a short period of time, and return shortly afterwards to inform its master of the presence of all [[character]]s, [[creature]]s, and [[minor demon]]s. Some areas do not work with this command, including the [[Sorcerer Guild]]s.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Eat &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON EAT {object} }}instructs the demon to consume an object<br /> <br /> Demons can be instructed to eat a variety of items within their reach. This can be used as disposal for various articles of trash, if a proper trash can is not available. Certain demons are particular about what they eat, though the [[igaesha]] will eat just about anything.<br /> <br /> Telling a demon to eat something will blow away its illusion.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Interfere &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON INTERFERE}} instructs the demon to prevent the establishment of a sanctuary<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON BREAK}} instructs the demon to attempt to disrupt an existing sanctuary (abyran'sa and imp ''only'' )<br /> <br /> Through its demonic powers, a demon can interfere with the creation of [[Minor Sanctuary (213)|sanctuaries]] or a [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. The success of this ability is based upon a comparison of the demonologist's [[Sorcerer Base]] and [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] ranks versus the sanctuary caster's [[Major Spiritual]] and [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|summoning]] ranks. Once instructed to interfere, a demon will continue to do so until told otherwise. Instructing a demon to interfere will always cause the [[illusion]] to fail, thus it is recommended to initiate this command prior to cloaking the demon. <br /> <br /> Only the [[Abyran#Mechanical Benefits and Flaws|abyran'sa]] is capable of breaking existing player-created sanctuaries. Telling an abyran'sa to do this takes 13 mana from the summoner, whether successful or not. The [[Imp]] is the lone archetype capable of breaking an active [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. <br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Control a web &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TO CONTROL}} [WEB] instructs an arashan to take control of a [[Web (118)|web]] for its owner.<br /> <br /> The arashan possesses a unique ability amongst demonkind; they are capable of taking control of the minor spirits that make up an area web summoned by the [[Web (118)]] spell. Controlling a web yields two major results: <br /> *the web is strengthened (gains an additional snare charge and the duration is refreshed)<br /> *the web comes under the control of the arashan's summoner. <br /> <br /> Controlling a web costs the caster 18 mana. Controlling a web is very taxing on the arashan, thus they may only do so once every five minutes.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Leave &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON LEAVE}} ends the spell duration, returning the demon to its origin<br /> <br /> The demon will drop the objects which it is carrying (not including silvers or mana), and return to its valence.<br /> {{top}}<br /> <br /> == Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell ==<br /> This list is now very incomplete with the [[Lord Vathon]] events of 2013 and 2014, and limited teachings at EG 2019 and 2020, as well as Duskruin 2022.<br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Sorcerers Knowing This Rune<br /> |-<br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc width=135|Grik'tyr-Grik<br /> |Angylisis, Malisai, Niderom, Nindon, Skylai, Solmarar <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Grik'tyr-Imp<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Evyrsio, Krolnivar, Malisai, Querthose, Rumpkin <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran<br /> |Krolnivar, Querthose, Ryynish, Stralan, Yactaevia<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'a<br /> |Moredin, Zurrain<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'sa<br /> |Allereli, Berkana, Cataclysmx, Dergoatean, Desorceri, Iaz, Isola, Kaldonis, Malisai, Missoni, Niderom, Querthose, Radamanthys, Silvean, Stralan, Vulterith, Walendria <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Grantris<br /> |Desorceri, Drigore, Kaldonis, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Igaesha<br /> |Allereli, Darphin, Evyrsio, Kaldonis, Missoni, Silvean, Ulthripe<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Verlok<br /> |Berkana, Darksin, Delarock, Kaldonis, Krolnivar, Lahanna, Maetriks, Matthosa, Niderom, Querthose, Silvean <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Aishan<br /> |Delarock, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Jameszz, Maetriks, Mianne, Niderom, Querthose, Stralan, Suntzhu, Venrath, Svatahor<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Shien<br /> |Allereli (Darkling), Desmonique, Drigore (Darkling), Kaldonis, Kilaya, Malisai, Matthosa, Mekthros, Missoni, Niderom (Darkling), Rontuu, Silvean (Shadowling)<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Arashan<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Maetriks, Melikor, Silvean, Xorus, Svatahor<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Resources ==<br /> * [[Minor demon messaging]]<br /> * [[Enchiridion Valentia]]<br /> * [[The Enchiridion Valentia]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[Introduction to the Enchiridion Valentia and Summoning]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[/saved posts|Saved posts]]<br /> * [[Commentary on Enchiridion Valentia - Lorae'Tyr]]<br /> * [[Rhythus Veranthe Faendryl]] (release storyline)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Demons]]<br /> [[category: Pet Spells]]</div>

Additional adjustments made by Berkana LeJardine)]]<br /> <br /> '''Berkana LeJardine-Faendryl,''' the Enigma and Scourge of Eorgina, is a dark elven sorceress and devout follower of [[Eorgina]]. She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her practicing tasseography at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with House Brigatta's cook — when not prowling around in the Sanctum.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship.

She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her practicing tasseography at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with House Brigatta's cook — when not prowling around in the Sanctum.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship.

Additional adjustments made by Berkana LeJardine)]]<br /> <br /> '''Berkana LeJardine-Faendryl,''' the Enigma and Scourge of Eorgina, is a dark elven sorceress and devout follower of [[Eorgina]]. She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her practicing tasseography at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with House Brigatta's cook — when not prowling around in the Sanctum.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship. The acolyte had a major break with reality and was never seen again — something that likely highly pleased [[Eorgina]]. During an invasion of [[vathor]] in [[Ta'Illistim]], she watched dispassionately from the rooftop garden of the Moonglae Inn with Mithumbras, as the city burned while they both sipped wine, a small smile playing upon her lips, knowing that her Queen would delight in this turn of events.<br /> <br /> == '''Relationships''' ==<br /> There are very few men that have kept Berkana interested. She was in the company of Cosgrave Temaraire for about two-and-a-half years, which ended in 5106. There was a very brief fling of a few weeks with Picler Ralduvian before his untimely disappearance in 5112. She engaged in some mild flirtations since that time, until she met [[Faendryl]] Aurach Moonshadew in 5114. Their two-year relationship ended in the spring of 5116, and she left his home in [[Ta'Illistim]] to return to the Landing, where she met [[Talinvor]], a [[Dhe'nar]]. After several weeks of trying to tempt him, she asked to become his shira'qa, and spent another two years by his side until he released her in Fashanos 5118. <br /> <br /> In Koaratos of 5119, Berkana reacquainted socially with Blades Clanners, and they were often together for the next several months... until he wandered off again at the start of 5120.<br /> <br /> There was only one man who had captured her heart completely, and he had been in and out of her life since late 5097 until late 5117, and has often wandered off for years at a time. Beyond that, casual encounters were exceedingly rare, as delight without some lasting affection was unrewarding and unsatisfying.<br /> <br /> Then... during the first half of Ivastaen 5121, [[Telagan_(prime)|Telagan]] Vangauri, who had also returned from a long voyage, crossed paths with Berkana (who he'd met many years ago). They've been creating mayhem and mischief wherever they go.<br /> <br /> Few women can get past their envy and jealousy to become friends with Berkana, but those who do find they have a very loyal and trusted friend. Many may find her risqué wardrobe, cunning wit, brazen forwardness, and fierce attitude intimidating — though she'll cloak her demeanor in a veil of politeness while assessing weaknesses — much like a cat watching her prey.<br /> <br /> Berkana considers herself to be highly intuitive, with a good ability to assess people for their honesty and genuineness. If she finds someone is a liar or insincere, she'll either outwardly continue to be polite, yet keep a safe distance from them, or she'll excise them out of her life without a word.

He resides mainly in [[Solhaven]], where can often be found traveling to-and-from the [[Sanctum of Scales]]. He has a fondness for baked goods, adventure, and helping others. Atypical of most empaths, he prefers to wear double chain armor and uses a long bow, which he favors over magic when possible. He will do anything he can to help those who ask, considering service a core part of his duty as a healer. He has an uncanny knack for drawing conversation out of people, which typically leads to him learning and exploring other's background and history. When resting, he can often be found at [[Cafe Dumont]] or near the North Market.<br /> <br /> At his core, Telagan is a very trusting person and will go to lengths to help another in need, even at cost to himself. His primary colors are forest green, ivory, and gold, which identify much of his wardrobe. His favorite items are his bow, locket, and healer's kit. When relaxing, he prefers to enjoy Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, and a small plate of cheese and fruits.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Telagan grew up in a small dwarven village west of the Spine during his formative years. Naturally adept at healing, his skills quickly grew and he decided to seek out a life of adventure in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], arriving on Phoenatos 24, 5097. He quickly took to life in the, to him, big city and achieved nobility on Lormestra 8, 5098. During this time, he began a courtship with a dwarven warrior, Granita Smithdott, and they quickly became inseparable. On Koaratos 27th, 5098, they were married. His adventuring up to this point had largely consisted of healing in town and the [[Abandoned Inn]] located just to the south. With his wife, though, he began to hone his martial prowess and took up an axe and shield, which he began to hunt with - clumsily at first, but quickly becoming more proficient. By the time he reached the title of 'Legend' on Phoenatos 8, 5099, he was hunting mostly full time and healing during the interstitial downtimes. His wife had likewise become more skilled and their hunting ranged from the Shadow Valley near Wehnimer's Landing to the Fhorian Village on Teras. By 5102, he was hunting in the Rift when alone and in the Stronghold with Granita. However, it was in 5105, just after the celebration of their 7th wedding anniversary that he learned his wife was not well. Within the span of a few months, her condition had deteriorated to the point where she was mostly confined to their small home where he stayed to look after her. In 5014 she passed away and Telagan again left all he had known to wander the lands and grieve.<br /> <br /> It wasn't until Lormestra 5120 that Telagan was seen again in civilization. Over the intervening 16 years since he had last adventured, he had changed many aspects of himself. Gone were the blacks and silvers that had defined him and his worship of Jastev, whom he now regarded a fallible Arkati. His sword and shield were laid down and in its place he had taken up the bow, which he proved to be quite adept at. His wardrobe had shifted towards one ideally suited for tracking through forests and dense jungle. His disposition, however, had remained - a warm and welcoming personality willing to listen to others to hear their stories and troubles. After a brief stay in Ta'Illistim, Telagan moved to Teras Isle in Fashanos 5120 where he remained a fixture within the community - hunting, healing and rescuing those in need. However, life on the Isle grew boring as time progressed and he yearned for the bustle of the mainland. With a final farewell, he said goodbye to Teras for good in Charlatos 5121 and settled into his new, yet familiar, home: Solhaven. <br /> <br /> Since then, he has spent hours cleaning the Sanctum of Scales and clearing the roads around Solhaven of bandits. During this time, he also built a close companionship with [Berkana] and they can often be found exploring the lands together.<br /> <br /> == '''Appearance''' ==<br /> As of the 3rd day of Phoenatos in the year 5121:<br /> <br /> You see Lord Telagan Vangauri the Bloodletter.<br /> :He appears to be a Human.<br /> :He is shorter than average and has a lithesome, nimble build.

Additional adjustments made by Berkana LeJardine)]]<br /> <br /> '''Berkana LeJardine-Faendryl,''' the Enigma and Scourge of Eorgina, is a dark elven sorceress and devout follower of [[Eorgina]]. She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her practicing tasseography at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with House Brigatta's cook — when not prowling around in the Sanctum.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship. The acolyte had a major break with reality and was never seen again — something that likely highly pleased [[Eorgina]]. During an invasion of [[vathor]] in [[Ta'Illistim]], she watched dispassionately from the rooftop garden of the Moonglae Inn with Mithumbras, as the city burned while they both sipped wine, a small smile playing upon her lips, knowing that her Queen would delight in this turn of events.<br /> <br /> == '''Relationships''' ==<br /> There are very few men that have kept Berkana interested. She was in the company of Cosgrave Temaraire for about two-and-a-half years, which ended in 5106. There was a very brief fling of a few weeks with Picler Ralduvian before his untimely disappearance in 5112. She engaged in some mild flirtations since that time, until she met [[Faendryl]] Aurach Moonshadew in 5114. Their two-year relationship ended in the spring of 5116, and she left his home in [[Ta'Illistim]] to return to the Landing, where she met [[Talinvor]], a [[Dhe'nar]]. After several weeks of trying to tempt him, she asked to become his shira'qa, and spent another two years by his side until he released her in Fashanos 5118. <br /> <br /> In Koaratos of 5119, Berkana reacquainted socially with Blades Clanners, and they were often together for the next several months... until he wandered off again at the start of 5120.<br /> <br /> There was only one man who had captured her heart completely, and he had been in and out of her life since late 5097 until late 5117, and has often wandered off for years at a time. Beyond that, casual encounters were exceedingly rare, as delight without some lasting affection was unrewarding and unsatisfying.<br /> <br /> Then... during the first half of Ivastaen 5121, [[Telagan_(prime)|Telagan]] Vangauri, who had also returned from a long voyage, crossed paths with Berkana (who he'd met many years ago). They've been creating mayhem and mischief wherever they go.<br /> <br /> Few women can get past their envy and jealousy to become friends with Berkana, but those who do find they have a very loyal and trusted friend. Many may find her risqué wardrobe, cunning wit, brazen forwardness, and fierce attitude intimidating — though she'll cloak her demeanor in a veil of politeness while assessing weaknesses — much like a cat watching her prey.<br /> <br /> Berkana considers herself to be highly intuitive, with a good ability to assess people for their honesty and genuineness. If she finds someone is a liar or insincere, she'll either outwardly continue to be polite, yet keep a safe distance from them, or she'll excise them out of her life without a word. To engage in deception, unless by devious plan, would otherwise be a waste of time, as well as of no service to Eorgina.<br /> <br /> == '''Controversies''' ==<br /> While serving as the Head Priestess for the Circle of the Grey Moon (Order of Eorgina), an impulsive and brash acolyte continuously pushed Berkana for an undue promotion despite displaying beliefs and behaviors increasingly incongruent with the Order. In a cold move, upon yet another demand to be elevated from the acolyte, Berkana turned to one of the novitiates standing nearby, elevated her to Priestess instead, and divested herelf of all the trappings of the office of High Priestess, bestowing them on the newly appointed head of the Order. The acolyte, after pitching a fit of pique, was never seen again, and Berkana adopted a quiet retreat of worship.<br /> <br /> While performing during the first [[Revelia Carnivale|Revelia Carnivale]] in the year 5121, Berkana, [[Xanthium_(prime)|Xanthium]], and [[Kothos_(prime)|Kothos]] displayed their dance/fire dance and aerial silks skills in the House Brigatta gardens. Toward the end of her show, Berkana's silks caught fire and singed the great banyan tree.

Her family, based on some writings and oral history passed down, enjoyed Selantha's reign, but when the forces of Mynal'lyanna unseated the House of Anodheles, her relatives escaped deep into the forest in an effort to remain alive and safe. They lived a fairly obscure life until their village was discovered by a band of wandering rogues, who promptly plundered and pillaged, killing men and women alike. The children that survived were taken, along with jewels, heirlooms, and provisions, to be raised by the women of their nomadic clan.<br /> <br /> Now accustomed to wanderlust in her life, Aedraeh had listened to the tales of many exotic lands, and upon reaching the age of maturity, set out for Wehnimer's Landing. There she met kindly Lord Aurien who helped her become accustomed to the strange and new town. Desiring a more stable life than the one she had, she tried to learn the skills of a warrior. She spent a short time living happily, and worked hard to uncover the truth about her past. She came upon a seer who used his magic to divine visions of her family's escape from Tamzyrr and retreat. Twas then that she learned of her descent from the House of Anodheles and the rebel clan of the Black Wolves.<br /> <br /> Late one night, while returning from a hunt, Aedraeh was snared by her long red hair and dragged into a ravine where she was beaten and savagely raped. Too ashamed to acknowledge this horrid attack, she withdrew from her friends and the daylight, never quite healing physically or emotionally. But she was quite pregnant and eight months later, hidden in a reclusive abode, Aedraeh went into a very difficult labor, giving birth to Jaeyde. Aedraeh lived only long enough to draw on her remaining strength to return to Wenhimer's Landing to find a sympathetic priest who could arrange for Jaeyde's care. She handed the priest her journal detailing what she had learned of the family history and disappeared out the town gates, never to be heard from again.<br /> <br /> Jaeyde tried to emulate all that was good of her mother, based on what she read in the small tome. She continued to train in the warrior arts, and pursued the family history, adding her own scripted hand to Aedraeh's journal. During a particularly nasty invasion of the township, Jaeyde joined the ranks on the front lines, but as the aggressors encroached, she was taken prisoner by the overlord waging the war. In what is now known as Stone Valley, Jaeyde found herself imprisoned against her will and destined to die as painful a death as her mother. Determined not to allow her spirit and pride to be broken, she used her charms to befriend the Ta'Vaaloran warrior overlord, eventually changing their relationship from jailer and prisoner to that of lovers. Months passed, turning into a year, and though she was his companion, she was not free to leave his lands. As a result of this union, Jaeyde also became pregnant, but she knew the child would never fully be welcomed as heir to the House of Vaalor. Being a human and illegitimate kept Jaedye from assuming the role of wife, but nonetheless, the overlord was pleased that he had sired a child.<br /> <br /> Little by little, Jaeyde was given some freedoms and privileges, among them, a personal handmaiden, Moira Laeren, who was to attend to her during the pregnancy and childbirth. One stormy night the pains of labor began. Jaeyde summoned Moira and throughout the night and much of the next day she cried out with each contraction, the love for her unborn child never wavering. With a final triumphant push, Jaeyde's laughter rang out at the sound of the baby's first cry. But her joy was short-lived as she caught sight of the handmaiden's face. Looking down at her child, the prominently human features could only mean certain death. Panicky and teary-eyed, Jaeyde knew she needed to act fast. The disgrace of a female, human-appearing firstborn would not spare either of them from the overlord's wrath. She asked Moira to bring her journal and a quill as she gingerly moved to her desk. Hurriedly, she scribbled out the history of their family, as well as instructed the handmaiden that the child was to be known as Deavon Laeren. Giving the journal and what coins and gems she had to Moira, she watched as the handmaiden carefully swaddled the newborn, and disappeared into the night. Aggrieved and distraught, Jaeyde returned to her birth bed, attempting to make it appear as though the child had been stillborn. Jaeyde lived in the House of Vaalor for another year or so, giving birth to yet another child, again female, but more like an elf in appearance. The overlord was pleased, but dismayed that it was a girl-child, beheaded Jaeyde.<br /> <br /> Moira Laeren made her way back towards Wehnimer's Landing, setting up in an abandoned cottage in the woods just outside of town. There the two lived in peace, and Deavon's human features did not attract undue attention. The child proved to have much of her father within her. Lacking any formal training, she relied on her instincts to guide her. Content with life in the forest, Deavon remained with Moira, often helping to tend the gardens when not out hunting. Her guardian grew ill when she was a young lass, and Deavon tended to her as she lay dying. On the eve of her death, Moira told her of the journal and gems hidden away in the cottage, which Deavon promised she would read, but at first morning's light, her guardian drew one last breath and Deavon wept. She cried for hours upon hours, alone in the world now, until the sun set, over the newly-turned earth of the grave. As Deavon knelt beside it in prayer, she heard her guardian's voice reminding her of the journal. Slowly she stood and entered the cottage, approaching the hidden tome.<br /> <br /> By candlelight, Deavon sat and read the fine scroll of Aedraeh and the rushed hand of Jaeyde, plus the notations from Moira added since. When she was done she sat, stunned at the revelations. Knowing what she must do now, carrying what she could manage, Deavon headed for the Landing gates the next morning. She found a room at Thrak's Inn in which to live, and roamed the surroundings, eventually making friends with Thalus, Bladepoint, Krrystall, Higlac, Roxana, Durgen, Madrona, and Diandra. Together they would often hunt, and when not, Deavon and Thalus would go off together to be alone in their budding relationship. Initially shy and afraid of the creatures she confronted, she was slow to advance. One day, while walking alone to meet her friends in the troll and gnome caves off the Mine Road, Deavon took the wrong trail and stumbled into the outer bounds of the Spider Temple of Arachne. Spotting a vapour hound, she turned to run, slipping and falling only to feel it's breath surround her. Death overtook her instantly. As she lay in the realm between life and ascension, a fog appeared and a tall, handsome cleric walked out from the center of the mist. He grasped her hand and magically transported her back to the Landing gates, and upon examining her, called upon his deity to raise her back to life.<br /> <br /> So struck was Deavon by this stranger's kindness that she was forever grateful. Looking upon the countenance of Lord Zurion Zulon's grey eyes, she felt a link form between them. For a time, she only saw him during her brief affair with his best friend, Lord Tselryk or while in town. But in the weeks soon after, he often would appear where she was out roaming with her friends, sometimes grabbing her hand and spiriting them off to be alone. They spent hours talking, sharing, laughing, and hunting. He introduced her to the history of the Landing and the Arkati, as well as his favorite retreat, Imaera's Shrine. He taught her how to practice her profession with more skill. Twas during this time that he sponsored her induction into [[House Brigatta]]. On that winter solstice eve, a horrible invasion overtook the lands. Making sure she was safely ensconced at home, he took her into the alcove, and there he knelt, drawing an engagement ring from out of his pouch and proposed to Deavon. She gladly accepted, weeping with joy, and prayed for his safe return to her, as he left to reign victorious. <br /> <br /> As winter waned into Spring, Zurion and Deavon were wed at Imaera's Shrine and they have remained married since. Now ennobled and fully a woman in her own right, Deavon proceeded to make her own mark in the lands. She continued her training and hunting, and was amid the first group to join the new Warrior Guild. Seeking out Lady Wanton at Lord Metaboculous's advice, Deavon was invited to attend a meeting of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]], where she met Lord Brinn, who agreed to become her sponsor. Now a squire, Deavon allied with Lady Kiora, Lady Kythyn, and Lady Shadowkatt to begin a quest for the search of the lost tomes and find the Shrine of [[Leya]], warrior God [[Kai]]'s daughter. They invited in several other friends and began the long journey of discovery. A trail of clues and visions led the party deep into a virgin forest, where they happened upon a black marble portal. Inside, they discovered the shrine. Deavon was blessed by the Lady Leya, her medallion altered to reflect Leya's tears.<br /> <br /> Months later, passing her test to become an Order member in full. Deavon has served as the acting Chairman, Chairman, First, and Member of the Council of the Order of the Silver Gryphon, and performs acts of kindness and mercy as requested by her Lady Leya. Maybe one day she will have her true identity as an heir to the House of Vaalor acknowledged.<br /> <br /> On the 19th day of Charlatos in the year 5100, Dame Deavon Laeren was bestowed the title of Knight Errant by Baron Dunrith Malwind, making her the second Dame to hold such a distinction (Dame Wanton Destruction being the first).<br /> <br /> == '''APPEARANCE''' ==<br /> You see Dame Deavon Laeren the Knight Errant.<br /> She appears to be a Human from Selanthia.<br /> <br /> She is taller than average. She appears to be in the spring of life. She has amethyst-flecked stormy grey eyes and flawless alabaster skin. She has waist-length, wavy pale silver hair with a striking black streak contrasting sharply on the left. She has a heart-shaped face and high cheekbones. She has an opaline amethyst purple patina brushed onto her rounded fingernails.<br /> <br /> She has a tiny vaalin loop threaded with an amethyst bijou in the upper ridge of her left ear, and a tattooed symbol of Leya on her wrist.<br /> <br /> set with a border of tiny amethysts in her left hand.<br /> <br /> She is wearing a twisted vaalin strand circlet caging tiny navette amethysts, a pair of round dark silver-rimmed spectacles with amethyst-hued lenses, a pale lavender velvet cloak fastened with a carved amethyst thistle clasp, some platinum plate mail, a vaalin mesh weapons harness slung over her shoulder, a sparkling white Leya medallion inset with a tear-shaped pearl, a boned lavender gossamer bodice trimmed along the daring neckline with amethysts, a black enameled bracer with a silver gryphon set in a ruby circle, a pair of fitted front-laced grey doeskin trousers, a pair of golden spurs, and a pair of side-laced amethyst leather boots.</div>

She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her practicing tasseography at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with House Brigatta's cook — when not prowling around in the Sanctum.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship. The acolyte had a major break with reality and was never seen again — something that likely highly pleased [[Eorgina]]. During an invasion of [[vathor]] in [[Ta'Illistim]], she watched dispassionately from the rooftop garden of the Moonglae Inn with Mithumbras, as the city burned while they both sipped wine, a small smile playing upon her lips, knowing that her Queen would delight in this turn of events.<br /> <br /> == '''Relationships''' ==<br /> There are very few men that have kept Berkana interested. She was in the company of Cosgrave Temaraire for about two-and-a-half years, which ended in 5106. There was a very brief fling of a few weeks with Picler Ralduvian before his untimely disappearance in 5112. She engaged in some mild flirtations since that time, until she met [[Faendryl]] Aurach Moonshadew in 5114. Their two-year relationship ended in the spring of 5116, and she left his home in [[Ta'Illistim]] to return to the Landing, where she met [[Talinvor]], a [[Dhe'nar]]. After several weeks of trying to tempt him, she asked to become his shira'qa, and spent another two years by his side until he released her in Fashanos 5118. <br /> <br /> In Koaratos of 5119, Berkana reacquainted socially with Blades Clanners, and they were often together for the next several months... until he wandered off again at the start of 5120.<br /> <br /> There was only one man who had captured her heart completely, and he had been in and out of her life since late 5097 until late 5117, and has often wandered off for years at a time. Beyond that, casual encounters were exceedingly rare, as delight without some lasting affection was unrewarding and unsatisfying.<br /> <br /> Then... during the first half of Ivastaen 5121, [[Telagan_(prime)|Telagan]] Vangauri, who had also returned from a long voyage, crossed paths with Berkana (who he'd met many years ago). They've been creating mayhem and mischief wherever they go.<br /> <br /> Few women can get past their envy and jealousy to become friends with Berkana, but those who do find they have a very loyal and trusted friend. Many may find her risqué wardrobe, cunning wit, brazen forwardness, and fierce attitude intimidating — though she'll cloak her demeanor in a veil of politeness while assessing weaknesses — much like a cat watching her prey.<br /> <br /> Berkana considers herself to be highly intuitive, with a good ability to assess people for their honesty and genuineness. If she finds someone is a liar or insincere, she'll either outwardly continue to be polite, yet keep a safe distance from them, or she'll excise them out of her life without a word. To engage in deception, unless by devious plan, would otherwise be a waste of time, as well as of no service to Eorgina.<br /> <br /> == '''Controversies''' ==<br /> While serving as the Head Priestess for the Circle of the Grey Moon (Order of Eorgina), an impulsive and brash acolyte continuously pushed Berkana for an undue promotion despite displaying beliefs and behaviors increasingly incongruent with the Order. In a cold move, upon yet another demand to be elevated from the acolyte, Berkana turned to one of the novitiates standing nearby, elevated her to Priestess instead, and divested herelf of all the trappings of the office of High Priestess, bestowing them on the newly appointed head of the Order. The acolyte, after pitching a fit of pique, was never seen again, and Berkana adopted a quiet retreat of worship.<br /> <br /> While performing during the first [[Revelia Carnivale|Revelia Carnivale]] in the year 5121, Berkana, [[Xanthium_(prime)|Xanthium]], and [[Kothos_(prime)|Kothos]] displayed their dance/fire dance and aerial silks skills in the House Brigatta gardens. Toward the end of her show, Berkana's silks caught fire and singed the great banyan tree. If one examines it closely, they might still see the scorching.<br /> <br /> == '''Appearance''' ==<br /> As of the 12 day of Eorgaen in the year 5124:<br /> :You see Luminary Berkana LeJardine Faendryl the Scourge of Eorgina.<br /> :<br /> :She is slightly taller than average and has a willowy yet curvaceous figure.  She appears to be in the flower of life.  She has sultry kohl-lashed, silver-limned venom green eyes and flawless, soft ivory skin.  She has very long, luminous albescent hair spilling down her back in a casual tousled waterfall.  She has a high-cheekboned oval face and slender, upswept ears ending in delicate points.  She has full, sensuous lips tinted a pale rose hue.  She has pale-webbed ebony polish brushed onto her faintly squared fingernails.<br /> :<br /> :She has a pair of lustrous vaalin rings adorned with fiery emerald bijous in the upper ridge of her left ear, a thorned black wild rose inking on her wrist, a sinuous tendril of mournblooms inked in dark hues on her ankle, a colorful inking of solanaceae on her thigh, and an intricately inked cilice of curved argent talons on her thigh.<br /> :<br /> :Embers of red-orange flame spark across her body, crackling as they race upwards into the air.<br /> <br /> :She is wearing a long shadow black leather jacket with a carved obsidian wild rose clasp, a corseted corbeau velvet gown veiled in a fall of black floral lace, a thin black leather thighband, a pair of sheer black silk stockings twined with wisps of venom green, and a pair of tall night black snakeskin boots with twisted vaalin heels.<br /> <br /> :A fur-filled clowder of cats surround Berkana, the demanding felines meowing in various tones as they brush against her legs, occasionally attempting to nip at her feet.<br /> <br /> == '''Performances''' ==<br /> At the 5120 Greystorm Manor Spring Enlightenment Ball, Berkana recited an impromptu sestina called &quot;Vernal Light&quot; — a sestina is a complex, thirty-nine-line poem featuring the intricate repetition of end-words in six stanzas and ending in an envoi.<br /> <br /> '''Vernal Light'''<br /> <br /> Gone the snow of wintry days when rises the sun,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> And bleak paleness becomes a rosy imbue in the sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Stark somber grey is now dressed in buds of pale green.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> As lacy white petals herald the sturdy boughs of apple trees.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Soft scent on the zephyr teases as it wafts by with a caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Tousled tendrils of silken locks rising in a gentle dance.<br /> <br /> Together, moth and butterfly flit in a swirling dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Glassine wings of dragonflies reflect the brilliant sun,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Bright yellow blossoms of dandelion offer soft caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> And tickle the nose when sniffed and raised to the sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Sheltering, as clouds close in, amid the orchard trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Low rumbles and a clash of light against angry green.<br /> <br /> Spring rains give birth to grass and leaves a lush green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Sparkling droplets shiver upon laden leaves as they dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Darkened bark nearly black on the damp fruit-baring trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Slowly drying as they are warmed by the reappearing sun.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Clouds part to reveal perfect blue in a clearing sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Golden light touching flesh, to warm it like a lover’s caress.<br /> <br /> Oh, wrap me, surround me in this gently sweet caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Tumble with me in spring grass, fragrant and green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Lift my imaginary wings and let me fly this deep blue sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Light as a feather, on gentle wind do I play and dance.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Laughter echoes as it surrounds, buoyed by the sun,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Carefree, swaying with the breeze as we dance among trees.<br /> <br /> Shadows grow longer, patterns cast by the trunks of trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Coolness of the afternoon swirls a shivered caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Lower dips the reddening orb of the setting sun.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Pale and bright, the birth of Spring turns dark green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> And all that turned and twirled disperse, end their dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Streaked with carmine, no longer the once unfettered sky.<br /> <br /> Slumber casts its pall over the land, the sleeping sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Slender trunks like thin dark ghosts, these lined trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Ghostly moonlight shivers through leaves in a flirting dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Casting lighted patterns all around in illusory caress.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Hours pass, and then, black fades to become again green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> With the reappearance of the vernal light and morning sun.<br /> <br /> Another day and dance, another brilliant golden sun.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Gather me sweet sky, that I might soar above the trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> That I indulge in your stroking caress, amid the pale green.</div>

He resides mainly in [[Solhaven]], where can often be found traveling to-and-from the [[Sanctum of Scales]]. He has a fondness for baked goods, adventure, and helping others. Atypical of most empaths, he prefers to wear double chain armor and uses a long bow, which he favors over magic when possible. He will do anything he can to help those who ask, considering service a core part of his duty as a healer. He has an uncanny knack for drawing conversation out of people, which typically leads to him learning and exploring other's background and history. When resting, he can often be found at [[Cafe Dumont]] or near the North Market.<br /> <br /> At his core, Telagan is a very trusting person and will go to lengths to help another in need, even at cost to himself. His primary colors are forest green, ivory, and gold, which identify much of his wardrobe. His favorite items are his bow, locket, and healer's kit. When relaxing, he prefers to enjoy Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, and a small plate of cheese and fruits.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Telagan grew up in a small dwarven village west of the Spine during his formative years. Naturally adept at healing, his skills quickly grew and he decided to seek out a life of adventure in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], arriving on Phoenatos 24, 5097. He quickly took to life in the, to him, big city and achieved nobility on Lormestra 8, 5098. During this time, he began a courtship with a dwarven warrior, Granita Smithdott, and they quickly became inseparable. On Koaratos 27th, 5098, they were married. His adventuring up to this point had largely consisted of healing in town and the [[Abandoned Inn]] located just to the south. With his wife, though, he began to hone his martial prowess and took up an axe and shield, which he began to hunt with - clumsily at first, but quickly becoming more proficient. By the time he reached the title of 'Legend' on Phoenatos 8, 5099, he was hunting mostly full time and healing during the interstitial downtimes. His wife had likewise become more skilled and their hunting ranged from the Shadow Valley near Wehnimer's Landing to the Fhorian Village on Teras. By 5102, he was hunting in the Rift when alone and in the Stronghold with Granita. However, it was in 5105, just after the celebration of their 7th wedding anniversary that he learned his wife was not well. Within the span of a few months, her condition had deteriorated to the point where she was mostly confined to their small home where he stayed to look after her. In 5014 she passed away and Telagan again left all he had known to wander the lands and grieve.<br /> <br /> It wasn't until Lormestra 5120 that Telagan was seen again in civilization. Over the intervening 16 years since he had last adventured, he had changed many aspects of himself. Gone were the blacks and silvers that had defined him and his worship of Jastev, whom he now regarded a fallible Arkati. His sword and shield were laid down and in its place he had taken up the bow, which he proved to be quite adept at. His wardrobe had shifted towards one ideally suited for tracking through forests and dense jungle. His disposition, however, had remained - a warm and welcoming personality willing to listen to others to hear their stories and troubles. After a brief stay in Ta'Illistim, Telagan moved to Teras Isle in Fashanos 5120 where he remained a fixture within the community - hunting, healing and rescuing those in need. However, life on the Isle grew boring as time progressed and he yearned for the bustle of the mainland. With a final farewell, he said goodbye to Teras for good in Charlatos 5121 and settled into his new, yet familiar, home: Solhaven. <br /> <br /> Since then, he has spent hours cleaning the Sanctum of Scales and clearing the roads around Solhaven of bandits. During this time, he also built a close companionship with [Berkana] and they can often be found exploring the lands together.<br /> <br /> == '''Appearance''' ==<br /> As of the 3rd day of Phoenatos in the year 5121:<br /> <br /> You see Lord Telagan Vangauri the Bloodletter.<br /> :He appears to be a Human.<br /> :He is shorter than average and has a lithesome, nimble build.

Her family, based on some writings and oral history passed down, enjoyed Selantha's reign, but when the forces of Mynal'lyanna unseated the House of Anodheles, her relatives escaped deep into the forest in an effort to remain alive and safe. They lived a fairly obscure life until their village was discovered by a band of wandering rogues, who promptly plundered and pillaged, killing men and women alike. The children that survived were taken, along with jewels, heirlooms, and provisions, to be raised by the women of their nomadic clan.<br /> <br /> Now accustomed to wanderlust in her life, Aedraeh had listened to the tales of many exotic lands, and upon reaching the age of maturity, set out for Wehnimer's Landing. There she met kindly Lord Aurien who helped her become accustomed to the strange and new town. Desiring a more stable life than the one she had, she tried to learn the skills of a warrior. She spent a short time living happily, and worked hard to uncover the truth about her past. She came upon a seer who used his magic to divine visions of her family's escape from Tamzyrr and retreat. Twas then that she learned of her descent from the House of Anodheles and the rebel clan of the Black Wolves.<br /> <br /> Late one night, while returning from a hunt, Aedraeh was snared by her long red hair and dragged into a ravine where she was beaten and savagely raped. Too ashamed to acknowledge this horrid attack, she withdrew from her friends and the daylight, never quite healing physically or emotionally. But she was quite pregnant and eight months later, hidden in a reclusive abode, Aedraeh went into a very difficult labor, giving birth to Jaeyde. Aedraeh lived only long enough to draw on her remaining strength to return to Wenhimer's Landing to find a sympathetic priest who could arrange for Jaeyde's care. She handed the priest her journal detailing what she had learned of the family history and disappeared out the town gates, never to be heard from again.<br /> <br /> Jaeyde tried to emulate all that was good of her mother, based on what she read in the small tome. She continued to train in the warrior arts, and pursued the family history, adding her own scripted hand to Aedraeh's journal. During a particularly nasty invasion of the township, Jaeyde joined the ranks on the front lines, but as the aggressors encroached, she was taken prisoner by the overlord waging the war. In what is now known as Stone Valley, Jaeyde found herself imprisoned against her will and destined to die as painful a death as her mother. Determined not to allow her spirit and pride to be broken, she used her charms to befriend the Ta'Vaaloran warrior overlord, eventually changing their relationship from jailer and prisoner to that of lovers. Months passed, turning into a year, and though she was his companion, she was not free to leave his lands. As a result of this union, Jaeyde also became pregnant, but she knew the child would never fully be welcomed as heir to the House of Vaalor. Being a human and illegitimate kept Jaedye from assuming the role of wife, but nonetheless, the overlord was pleased that he had sired a child.<br /> <br /> Little by little, Jaeyde was given some freedoms and privileges, among them, a personal handmaiden, Moira Laeren, who was to attend to her during the pregnancy and childbirth. One stormy night the pains of labor began. Jaeyde summoned Moira and throughout the night and much of the next day she cried out with each contraction, the love for her unborn child never wavering. With a final triumphant push, Jaeyde's laughter rang out at the sound of the baby's first cry. But her joy was short-lived as she caught sight of the handmaiden's face. Looking down at her child, the prominently human features could only mean certain death. Panicky and teary-eyed, Jaeyde knew she needed to act fast. The disgrace of a female, human-appearing firstborn would not spare either of them from the overlord's wrath. She asked Moira to bring her journal and a quill as she gingerly moved to her desk. Hurriedly, she scribbled out the history of their family, as well as instructed the handmaiden that the child was to be known as Deavon Laeren. Giving the journal and what coins and gems she had to Moira, she watched as the handmaiden carefully swaddled the newborn, and disappeared into the night. Aggrieved and distraught, Jaeyde returned to her birth bed, attempting to make it appear as though the child had been stillborn. Jaeyde lived in the House of Vaalor for another year or so, giving birth to yet another child, again female, but more like an elf in appearance. The overlord was pleased, but dismayed that it was a girl-child, beheaded Jaeyde.<br /> <br /> Moira Laeren made her way back towards Wehnimer's Landing, setting up in an abandoned cottage in the woods just outside of town. There the two lived in peace, and Deavon's human features did not attract undue attention. The child proved to have much of her father within her. Lacking any formal training, she relied on her instincts to guide her. Content with life in the forest, Deavon remained with Moira, often helping to tend the gardens when not out hunting. Her guardian grew ill when she was a young lass, and Deavon tended to her as she lay dying. On the eve of her death, Moira told her of the journal and gems hidden away in the cottage, which Deavon promised she would read, but at first morning's light, her guardian drew one last breath and Deavon wept. She cried for hours upon hours, alone in the world now, until the sun set, over the newly-turned earth of the grave. As Deavon knelt beside it in prayer, she heard her guardian's voice reminding her of the journal. Slowly she stood and entered the cottage, approaching the hidden tome.<br /> <br /> By candlelight, Deavon sat and read the fine scroll of Aedraeh and the rushed hand of Jaeyde, plus the notations from Moira added since. When she was done she sat, stunned at the revelations. Knowing what she must do now, carrying what she could manage, Deavon headed for the Landing gates the next morning. She found a room at Thrak's Inn in which to live, and roamed the surroundings, eventually making friends with Thalus, Bladepoint, Krrystall, Higlac, Roxana, Durgen, Madrona, and Diandra. Together they would often hunt, and when not, Deavon and Thalus would go off together to be alone in their budding relationship. Initially shy and afraid of the creatures she confronted, she was slow to advance. One day, while walking alone to meet her friends in the troll and gnome caves off the Mine Road, Deavon took the wrong trail and stumbled into the outer bounds of the Spider Temple of Arachne. Spotting a vapour hound, she turned to run, slipping and falling only to feel it's breath surround her. Death overtook her instantly. As she lay in the realm between life and ascension, a fog appeared and a tall, handsome cleric walked out from the center of the mist. He grasped her hand and magically transported her back to the Landing gates, and upon examining her, called upon his deity to raise her back to life.<br /> <br /> So struck was Deavon by this stranger's kindness that she was forever grateful. Looking upon the countenance of Lord Zurion Zulon's grey eyes, she felt a link form between them. For a time, she only saw him during her brief affair with his best friend, Lord Tselryk or while in town. But in the weeks soon after, he often would appear where she was out roaming with her friends, sometimes grabbing her hand and spiriting them off to be alone. They spent hours talking, sharing, laughing, and hunting. He introduced her to the history of the Landing and the Arkati, as well as his favorite retreat, Imaera's Shrine. He taught her how to practice her profession with more skill. Twas during this time that he sponsored her induction into [[House Brigatta]]. On that winter solstice eve, a horrible invasion overtook the lands. Making sure she was safely ensconced at home, he took her into the alcove, and there he knelt, drawing an engagement ring from out of his pouch and proposed to Deavon. She gladly accepted, weeping with joy, and prayed for his safe return to her, as he left to reign victorious. <br /> <br /> As winter waned into Spring, Zurion and Deavon were wed at Imaera's Shrine and they have remained married since. Now ennobled and fully a woman in her own right, Deavon proceeded to make her own mark in the lands. She continued her training and hunting, and was amid the first group to join the new Warrior Guild. Seeking out Lady Wanton at Lord Metaboculous's advice, Deavon was invited to attend a meeting of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]], where she met Lord Brinn, who agreed to become her sponsor. Now a squire, Deavon allied with Lady Kiora, Lady Kythyn, and Lady Shadowkatt to begin a quest for the search of the lost tomes and find the Shrine of [[Leya]], warrior God [[Kai]]'s daughter. They invited in several other friends and began the long journey of discovery. A trail of clues and visions led the party deep into a virgin forest, where they happened upon a black marble portal. Inside, they discovered the shrine. Deavon was blessed by the Lady Leya, her medallion altered to reflect Leya's tears.<br /> <br /> Months later, passing her test to become an Order member in full. Deavon has served as the acting Chairman, Chairman, First, and Member of the Council of the Order of the Silver Gryphon, and performs acts of kindness and mercy as requested by her Lady Leya. Maybe one day she will have her true identity as an heir to the House of Vaalor acknowledged.<br /> <br /> On the 19th day of Charlatos in the year 5100, Dame Deavon Laeren was bestowed the title of Knight Errant by Baron Dunrith Malwind, making her the second Dame to hold such a distinction (Dame Wanton Destruction being the first).<br /> <br /> == '''APPEARANCE''' ==<br /> You see Dame Deavon Laeren the Knight Errant.<br /> She appears to be a Human from Selanthia.<br /> <br /> She is taller than average. She appears to be in the spring of life. She has amethyst-flecked stormy grey eyes and flawless alabaster skin. She has waist-length, wavy pale silver hair with a striking black streak contrasting sharply on the left. She has a heart-shaped face and high cheekbones. She has an opaline amethyst purple patina brushed onto her rounded fingernails.<br /> <br /> She has a tiny vaalin loop threaded with an amethyst bijou in the upper ridge of her left ear, and a tattooed symbol of Leya on her wrist.<br /> <br /> set with a border of tiny amethysts in her left hand.<br /> <br /> She is wearing a twisted vaalin strand circlet caging tiny navette amethysts, a pair of round dark silver-rimmed spectacles with amethyst-hued lenses, a pale lavender velvet cloak fastened with a carved amethyst thistle clasp, some platinum plate mail, a vaalin mesh weapons harness slung over her shoulder, a sparkling white Leya medallion inset with a tear-shaped pearl, a boned lavender gossamer bodice trimmed along the daring neckline with amethysts, a black enameled bracer with a silver gryphon set in a ruby circle, a pair of fitted front-laced grey doeskin trousers, a pair of golden spurs, and a pair of side-laced amethyst leather boots.</div>

She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her entertaining at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with Brigatta's cook.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship. The acolyte had a major break with reality and was never seen again — something that likely highly pleased [[Eorgina]]. During an invasion of [[vathor]] in [[Ta'Illistim]], she watched dispassionately from the rooftop garden of the Moonglae Inn with Mithumbras, as the city burned while they both sipped wine, a small smile playing upon her lips, knowing that her Queen would delight in this turn of events.<br /> <br /> == '''Relationships''' ==<br /> There are very few men that have kept Berkana interested. She was in the company of Cosgrave Temaraire for about two-and-a-half years, which ended in 5106. There was a very brief fling of a few weeks with Picler Ralduvian before his untimely disappearance in 5112. She engaged in some mild flirtations since that time, until she met [[Faendryl]] Aurach Moonshadew in 5114. Their two-year relationship ended in the spring of 5116, and she left his home in [[Ta'Illistim]] to return to the Landing, where she met [[Talinvor]], a [[Dhe'nar]]. After several weeks of trying to tempt him, she asked to become his shira'qa, and spent another two years by his side until he released her in Fashanos 5118. <br /> <br /> In Koaratos of 5119, Berkana reacquainted socially with Blades Clanners, and they were often together for the next several months... until he wandered off again at the start of 5120.<br /> <br /> There was only one man who had captured her heart completely, and he had been in and out of her life since late 5097 until late 5117, and has often wandered off for years at a time. Beyond that, casual encounters were exceedingly rare, as delight without some lasting affection was unrewarding and unsatisfying.<br /> <br /> Then... during the first half of Ivastaen 5121, [[Telagan_(prime)|Telagan]] Vangauri, who had also returned from a long voyage, crossed paths with Berkana (who he'd met many years ago). They've been creating mayhem and mischief wherever they go.<br /> <br /> Few women can get past their envy and jealousy to become friends with Berkana, but those who do find they have a very loyal and trusted friend. Many may find her risqué wardrobe, cunning wit, brazen forwardness, and fierce attitude intimidating — though she'll cloak her demeanor in a veil of politeness while assessing weaknesses — much like a cat watching her prey.<br /> <br /> Berkana considers herself to be highly intuitive, with a good ability to assess people for their honesty and genuineness. If she finds someone is a liar or insincere, she'll either outwardly continue to be polite, yet keep a safe distance from them, or she'll excise them out of her life without a word. To engage in deception, unless by devious plan, would otherwise be a waste of time, as well as of no service to Eorgina.<br /> <br /> == '''Controversies''' ==<br /> While serving as the Head Priestess for the Circle of the Grey Moon (Order of Eorgina), an impulsive and brash acolyte continuously pushed Berkana for an undue promotion despite displaying beliefs and behaviors increasingly incongruent with the Order. In a cold move, upon yet another demand to be elevated from the acolyte, Berkana turned to one of the novitiates standing nearby, elevated her to Priestess instead, and divested herelf of all the trappings of the office of High Priestess, bestowing them on the newly appointed head of the Order. The acolyte, after pitching a fit of pique, was never seen again, and Berkana adopted a quiet retreat of worship.<br /> <br /> While performing during the first [[Revelia Carnivale|Revelia Carnivale]] in the year 5121, Berkana, [[Xanthium_(prime)|Xanthium]], and [[Kothos_(prime)|Kothos]] displayed their dance/fire dance and aerial silks skills in the House Brigatta gardens. Toward the end of her show, Berkana's silks caught fire and singed the great banyan tree. If one examines it closely, they might still see the scorching.<br /> <br /> == '''Appearance''' ==<br /> As of the 12 day of Eorgaen in the year 5124:<br /> :You see Luminary Berkana LeJardine Faendryl the Scourge of Eorgina.<br /> :<br /> :She is slightly taller than average and has a willowy yet curvaceous figure.  She appears to be in the flower of life.  She has sultry kohl-lashed, silver-limned venom green eyes and flawless, soft ivory skin.  She has very long, luminous albescent hair spilling down her back in a casual tousled waterfall.  She has a high-cheekboned oval face and slender, upswept ears ending in delicate points.  She has full, sensuous lips tinted a pale rose hue.  She has pale-webbed ebony polish brushed onto her faintly squared fingernails.<br /> :<br /> :She has a pair of lustrous vaalin rings adorned with fiery emerald bijous in the upper ridge of her left ear, a thorned black wild rose inking on her wrist, a sinuous tendril of mournblooms inked in dark hues on her ankle, a colorful inking of solanaceae on her thigh, and an intricately inked cilice of curved argent talons on her thigh.<br /> :<br /> :Embers of red-orange flame spark across her body, crackling as they race upwards into the air.<br /> <br /> :She is wearing a long shadow black leather jacket with a carved obsidian wild rose clasp, a corseted corbeau velvet gown veiled in a fall of black floral lace, a thin black leather thighband, a pair of sheer black silk stockings twined with wisps of venom green, and a pair of tall night black snakeskin boots with twisted vaalin heels.<br /> <br /> :A fur-filled clowder of cats surround Berkana, the demanding felines meowing in various tones as they brush against her legs, occasionally attempting to nip at her feet.<br /> <br /> == '''Performances''' ==<br /> At the 5120 Greystorm Manor Spring Enlightenment Ball, Berkana recited an impromptu sestina called &quot;Vernal Light&quot; — a sestina is a complex, thirty-nine-line poem featuring the intricate repetition of end-words in six stanzas and ending in an envoi.<br /> <br /> '''Vernal Light'''<br /> <br /> Gone the snow of wintry days when rises the sun,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> And bleak paleness becomes a rosy imbue in the sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Stark somber grey is now dressed in buds of pale green.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> As lacy white petals herald the sturdy boughs of apple trees.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Soft scent on the zephyr teases as it wafts by with a caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Tousled tendrils of silken locks rising in a gentle dance.<br /> <br /> Together, moth and butterfly flit in a swirling dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Glassine wings of dragonflies reflect the brilliant sun,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Bright yellow blossoms of dandelion offer soft caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> And tickle the nose when sniffed and raised to the sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Sheltering, as clouds close in, amid the orchard trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Low rumbles and a clash of light against angry green.<br /> <br /> Spring rains give birth to grass and leaves a lush green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Sparkling droplets shiver upon laden leaves as they dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Darkened bark nearly black on the damp fruit-baring trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Slowly drying as they are warmed by the reappearing sun.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Clouds part to reveal perfect blue in a clearing sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Golden light touching flesh, to warm it like a lover’s caress.<br /> <br /> Oh, wrap me, surround me in this gently sweet caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Tumble with me in spring grass, fragrant and green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Lift my imaginary wings and let me fly this deep blue sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Light as a feather, on gentle wind do I play and dance.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Laughter echoes as it surrounds, buoyed by the sun,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Carefree, swaying with the breeze as we dance among trees.<br /> <br /> Shadows grow longer, patterns cast by the trunks of trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Coolness of the afternoon swirls a shivered caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Lower dips the reddening orb of the setting sun.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Pale and bright, the birth of Spring turns dark green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> And all that turned and twirled disperse, end their dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Streaked with carmine, no longer the once unfettered sky.<br /> <br /> Slumber casts its pall over the land, the sleeping sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Slender trunks like thin dark ghosts, these lined trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Ghostly moonlight shivers through leaves in a flirting dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Casting lighted patterns all around in illusory caress.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Hours pass, and then, black fades to become again green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> With the reappearance of the vernal light and morning sun.<br /> <br /> Another day and dance, another brilliant golden sun.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Gather me sweet sky, that I might soar above the trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> That I indulge in your stroking caress, amid the pale green.</div>

Her family, based on some writings and oral history passed down, enjoyed Selantha's reign, but when the forces of Mynal'lyanna unseated the House of Anodheles, her relatives escaped deep into the forest in an effort to remain alive and safe. They lived a fairly obscure life until their village was discovered by a band of wandering rogues, who promptly plundered and pillaged, killing men and women alike. The children that survived were taken, along with jewels, heirlooms, and provisions, to be raised by the women of their nomadic clan.<br /> <br /> Now accustomed to wanderlust in her life, Aedraeh had listened to the tales of many exotic lands, and upon reaching the age of maturity, set out for Wehnimer's Landing. There she met kindly Lord Aurien who helped her become accustomed to the strange and new town. Desiring a more stable life than the one she had, she tried to learn the skills of a warrior. She spent a short time living happily, and worked hard to uncover the truth about her past. She came upon a seer who used his magic to divine visions of her family's escape from Tamzyrr and retreat. Twas then that she learned of her descent from the House of Anodheles and the rebel clan of the Black Wolves.<br /> <br /> Late one night, while returning from a hunt, Aedraeh was snared by her long red hair and dragged into a ravine where she was beaten and savagely raped. Too ashamed to acknowledge this horrid attack, she withdrew from her friends and the daylight, never quite healing physically or emotionally. But she was quite pregnant and eight months later, hidden in a reclusive abode, Aedraeh went into a very difficult labor, giving birth to Jaeyde. Aedraeh lived only long enough to draw on her remaining strength to return to Wenhimer's Landing to find a sympathetic priest who could arrange for Jaeyde's care. She handed the priest her journal detailing what she had learned of the family history and disappeared out the town gates, never to be heard from again.<br /> <br /> Jaeyde tried to emulate all that was good of her mother, based on what she read in the small tome. She continued to train in the warrior arts, and pursued the family history, adding her own scripted hand to Aedraeh's journal. During a particularly nasty invasion of the township, Jaeyde joined the ranks on the front lines, but as the aggressors encroached, she was taken prisoner by the overlord waging the war. In what is now known as Stone Valley, Jaeyde found herself imprisoned against her will and destined to die as painful a death as her mother. Determined not to allow her spirit and pride to be broken, she used her charms to befriend the Ta'Vaaloran warrior overlord, eventually changing their relationship from jailer and prisoner to that of lovers. Months passed, turning into a year, and though she was his companion, she was not free to leave his lands. As a result of this union, Jaeyde also became pregnant, but she knew the child would never fully be welcomed as heir to the House of Vaalor. Being a human and illegitimate kept Jaedye from assuming the role of wife, but nonetheless, the overlord was pleased that he had sired a child.<br /> <br /> Little by little, Jaeyde was given some freedoms and privileges, among them, a personal handmaiden, Moira Laeren, who was to attend to her during the pregnancy and childbirth. One stormy night the pains of labor began. Jaeyde summoned Moira and throughout the night and much of the next day she cried out with each contraction, the love for her unborn child never wavering. With a final triumphant push, Jaeyde's laughter rang out at the sound of the baby's first cry. But her joy was short-lived as she caught sight of the handmaiden's face. Looking down at her child, the prominently human features could only mean certain death. Panicky and teary-eyed, Jaeyde knew she needed to act fast. The disgrace of a female, human-appearing firstborn would not spare either of them from the overlord's wrath. She asked Moira to bring her journal and a quill as she gingerly moved to her desk. Hurriedly, she scribbled out the history of their family, as well as instructed the handmaiden that the child was to be known as Deavon Laeren. Giving the journal and what coins and gems she had to Moira, she watched as the handmaiden carefully swaddled the newborn, and disappeared into the night. Aggrieved and distraught, Jaeyde returned to her birth bed, attempting to make it appear as though the child had been stillborn. Jaeyde lived in the House of Vaalor for another year or so, giving birth to yet another child, again female, but more like an elf in appearance. The overlord was pleased, but dismayed that it was a girl-child, beheaded Jaeyde.<br /> <br /> Moira Laeren made her way back towards Wehnimer's Landing, setting up in an abandoned cottage in the woods just outside of town. There the two lived in peace, and Deavon's human features did not attract undue attention. The child proved to have much of her father within her. Lacking any formal training, she relied on her instincts to guide her. Content with life in the forest, Deavon remained with Moira, often helping to tend the gardens when not out hunting. Her guardian grew ill when she was a young lass, and Deavon tended to her as she lay dying. On the eve of her death, Moira told her of the journal and gems hidden away in the cottage, which Deavon promised she would read, but at first morning's light, her guardian drew one last breath and Deavon wept. She cried for hours upon hours, alone in the world now, until the sun set, over the newly-turned earth of the grave. As Deavon knelt beside it in prayer, she heard her guardian's voice reminding her of the journal. Slowly she stood and entered the cottage, approaching the hidden tome.<br /> <br /> By candlelight, Deavon sat and read the fine scroll of Aedraeh and the rushed hand of Jaeyde, plus the notations from Moira added since. When she was done she sat, stunned at the revelations. Knowing what she must do now, carrying what she could manage, Deavon headed for the Landing gates the next morning. She found a room at Thrak's Inn in which to live, and roamed the surroundings, eventually making friends with Thalus, Bladepoint, Krrystall, Higlac, Roxana, Durgen, Madrona, and Diandra. Together they would often hunt, and when not, Deavon and Thalus would go off together to be alone in their budding relationship. Initially shy and afraid of the creatures she confronted, she was slow to advance. One day, while walking alone to meet her friends in the troll and gnome caves off the Mine Road, Deavon took the wrong trail and stumbled into the outer bounds of the Spider Temple of Arachne. Spotting a vapour hound, she turned to run, slipping and falling only to feel it's breath surround her. Death overtook her instantly. As she lay in the realm between life and ascension, a fog appeared and a tall, handsome cleric walked out from the center of the mist. He grasped her hand and magically transported her back to the Landing gates, and upon examining her, called upon his deity to raise her back to life.<br /> <br /> So struck was Deavon by this stranger's kindness that she was forever grateful. Looking upon the countenance of Lord Zurion Zulon's grey eyes, she felt a link form between them. For a time, she only saw him during her brief affair with his best friend, Lord Tselryk or while in town. But in the weeks soon after, he often would appear where she was out roaming with her friends, sometimes grabbing her hand and spiriting them off to be alone. They spent hours talking, sharing, laughing, and hunting. He introduced her to the history of the Landing and the Arkati, as well as his favorite retreat, Imaera's Shrine. He taught her how to practice her profession with more skill. Twas during this time that he sponsored her induction into [[House Brigatta]]. On that winter solstice eve, a horrible invasion overtook the lands. Making sure she was safely ensconced at home, he took her into the alcove, and there he knelt, drawing an engagement ring from out of his pouch and proposed to Deavon. She gladly accepted, weeping with joy, and prayed for his safe return to her, as he left to reign victorious. <br /> <br /> As winter waned into Spring, Zurion and Deavon were wed at Imaera's Shrine and they have remained married since. Now ennobled and fully a woman in her own right, Deavon proceeded to make her own mark in the lands. She continued her training and hunting, and was amid the first group to join the new Warrior Guild. Seeking out Lady Wanton at Lord Metaboculous's advice, Deavon was invited to attend a meeting of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]], where she met Lord Brinn, who agreed to become her sponsor. Now a squire, Deavon allied with Lady Kiora, Lady Kythyn, and Lady Shadowkatt to begin a quest for the search of the lost tomes and find the Shrine of [[Leya]], warrior God [[Kai]]'s daughter. They invited in several other friends and began the long journey of discovery. A trail of clues and visions led the party deep into a virgin forest, where they happened upon a black marble portal. Inside, they discovered the shrine. Deavon was blessed by the Lady Leya, her medallion altered to reflect Leya's tears.<br /> <br /> Months later, passing her test to become an Order member in full. Deavon has served as the acting Chairman, Chairman, First, and Member of the Council of the Order of the Silver Gryphon, and performs acts of kindness and mercy as requested by her Lady Leya. Maybe one day she will have her true identity as an heir to the House of Vaalor acknowledged.<br /> <br /> On the 19th day of Charlatos in the year 5100, Dame Deavon Laeren was bestowed the title of Knight Errant by Baron Dunrith Malwind, making her the second Dame to hold such a distinction (Dame Wanton Destruction being the first).<br /> <br /> == '''APPEARANCE''' ==<br /> You see Dame Deavon Laeren the Knight Errant.<br /> She appears to be a Human from Selanthia.<br /> <br /> She is taller than average. She appears to be in the spring of life. She has amethyst-flecked stormy grey eyes and flawless alabaster skin. She has waist-length, wavy pale silver hair with a striking black streak contrasting sharply on the left. She has a heart-shaped face and high cheekbones. She has an opaline amethyst purple patina brushed onto her rounded fingernails.<br /> <br /> She has a tiny vaalin loop threaded with an amethyst bijou in the upper ridge of her left ear, and a tattooed symbol of Leya on her wrist.<br /> <br /> set with a border of tiny amethysts in her left hand.<br /> <br /> She is wearing a twisted vaalin strand circlet caging tiny navette amethysts, a pair of round dark silver-rimmed spectacles with amethyst-hued lenses, a pale lavender velvet cloak fastened with a carved amethyst thistle clasp, some platinum plate mail, a vaalin mesh weapons harness slung over her shoulder, a sparkling white Leya medallion inset with a tear-shaped pearl, a boned lavender gossamer bodice trimmed along the daring neckline with amethysts, a black enameled bracer with a silver gryphon set in a ruby circle, a pair of fitted front-laced grey doeskin trousers, a pair of golden spurs, and a pair of side-laced amethyst leather boots.</div>

But in the weeks soon after, he often would appear where she was out roaming with her friends, sometimes grabbing her hand and spiriting them off to be alone. They spent hours talking, sharing, laughing, and hunting. He introduced her to the history of the Landing and the Arkati, as well as his favorite retreat, Imaera's Shrine. He taught her how to practice her profession with more skill. Twas during this time that he sponsored her induction into [[House Brigatta]]. On that winter solstice eve, a horrible invasion overtook the lands. Making sure she was safely ensconced at home, he took her into the alcove, and there he knelt, drawing an engagement ring from out of his pouch and proposed to Deavon. She gladly accepted, weeping with joy, and prayed for his safe return to her, as he left to reign victorious. <br /> <br /> As winter waned into Spring, Zurion and Deavon were wed at Imaera's Shrine and they have remained married since. Now ennobled and fully a woman in her own right, Deavon proceeded to make her own mark in the lands. She continued her training and hunting, and was amid the first group to join the new Warrior Guild. Seeking out Lady Wanton at Lord Metaboculous's advice, Deavon was invited to attend a meeting of the [[Order of the Silver Gryphon]], where she met Lord Brinn, who agreed to become her sponsor. Now a squire, Deavon allied with Lady Kiora, Lady Kythyn, and Lady Shadowkatt to begin a quest for the search of the lost tomes and find the Shrine of [[Leya]], warrior God [[Kai]]'s daughter. They invited in several other friends and began the long journey of discovery. A trail of clues and visions led the party deep into a virgin forest, where they happened upon a black marble portal. Inside, they discovered the shrine. Deavon was blessed by the Lady Leya, her medallion altered to reflect Leya's tears.<br /> <br /> Months later, passing her test to become an Order member in full. Deavon has served as the acting Chairman, Chairman, First, and Member of the Council of the Order of the Silver Gryphon, and performs acts of kindness and mercy as requested by her Lady Leya. Maybe one day she will have her true identity as an heir to the House of Vaalor acknowledged.<br /> <br /> On the 19th day of Charlatos in the year 5100, Dame Deavon Laeren was bestowed the title of Knight Errant by Baron Dunrith Malwind, making her the second Dame to hold such a distinction (Dame Wanton Destruction being the first).<br /> <br /> == '''APPEARANCE''' ==<br /> You see Dame Deavon Laeren the Knight Errant.<br /> She appears to be a Human from Selanthia.<br /> <br /> She is taller than average. She appears to be in the spring of life. She has amethyst-flecked stormy grey eyes and flawless alabaster skin. She has waist-length, wavy pale silver hair with a striking black streak contrasting sharply on the left. She has a heart-shaped face and high cheekbones. She has an opaline amethyst purple patina brushed onto her rounded fingernails.<br /> <br /> She has a tiny vaalin loop threaded with an amethyst bijou in the upper ridge of her left ear, and a tattooed symbol of Leya on her wrist.<br /> <br /> She is wearing a twisted vaalin strand circlet caging tiny navette amethysts, a sparkling white Leya medallion inset with a tear-shaped pearl, a pale lavender velvet cloak fastened with a carved amethyst thistle clasp, an amethyst-hued brocaded silk gown, a pair of ivory floral lace half-gloves with tiny frosted pale violet amethyst thistle buttons, a black enameled bracer with a silver gryphon set in a ruby circle, a pair of pale amethyst stockings under a pair of side-laced amethyst leather boots, and a pair of golden spurs.</div>

Her family, based on some writings and oral history passed down, enjoyed Selantha's reign, but when the forces of Mynal'lyanna unseated the House of Anodheles, her relatives escaped deep into the forest in an effort to remain alive and safe. They lived a fairly obscure life until their village was discovered by a band of wandering rogues, who promptly plundered and pillaged, killing men and women alike. The children that survived were taken, along with jewels, heirlooms, and provisions, to be raised by the women of their nomadic clan.<br /> <br /> Now accustomed to wanderlust in her life, Aedraeh had listened to the tales of many exotic lands, and upon reaching the age of maturity, set out for Wehnimer's Landing. There she met kindly Lord Aurien who helped her become accustomed to the strange and new town. Desiring a more stable life than the one she had, she tried to learn the skills of a warrior. She spent a short time living happily, and worked hard to uncover the truth about her past. She came upon a seer who used his magic to divine visions of her family's escape from Tamzyrr and retreat. Twas then that she learned of her descent from the House of Anodheles and the rebel clan of the Black Wolves.<br /> <br /> Late one night, while returning from a hunt, Aedraeh was snared by her long red hair and dragged into a ravine where she was beaten and savagely raped. Too ashamed to acknowledge this horrid attack, she withdrew from her friends and the daylight, never quite healing physically or emotionally. But she was quite pregnant and eight months later, hidden in a reclusive abode, Aedraeh went into a very difficult labor, giving birth to Jaeyde. Aedraeh lived only long enough to draw on her remaining strength to return to Wenhimer's Landing to find a sympathetic priest who could arrange for Jaeyde's care. She handed the priest her journal detailing what she had learned of the family history and disappeared out the town gates, never to be heard from again.<br /> <br /> Jaeyde tried to emulate all that was good of her mother, based on what she read in the small tome. She continued to train in the warrior arts, and pursued the family history, adding her own scripted hand to Aedraeh's journal. During a particularly nasty invasion of the township, Jaeyde joined the ranks on the front lines, but as the aggressors encroached, she was taken prisoner by the overlord waging the war. In what is now known as Stone Valley, Jaeyde found herself imprisoned against her will and destined to die as painful a death as her mother. Determined not to allow her spirit and pride to be broken, she used her charms to befriend the Ta'Vaaloran warrior overlord, eventually changing their relationship from jailer and prisoner to that of lovers. Months passed, turning into a year, and though she was his companion, she was not free to leave his lands. As a result of this union, Jaeyde also became pregnant, but she knew the child would never fully be welcomed as heir to the House of Vaalor. Being a human and illegitimate kept Jaedye from assuming the role of wife, but nonetheless, the overlord was pleased that he had sired a child.<br /> <br /> Little by little, Jaeyde was given some freedoms and privileges, among them, a personal handmaiden, Moira Laeren, who was to attend to her during the pregnancy and childbirth. One stormy night the pains of labor began. Jaeyde summoned Moira and throughout the night and much of the next day she cried out with each contraction, the love for her unborn child never wavering. With a final triumphant push, Jaeyde's laughter rang out at the sound of the baby's first cry. But her joy was short-lived as she caught sight of the handmaiden's face. Looking down at her child, the prominently human features could only mean certain death. Panicky and teary-eyed, Jaeyde knew she needed to act fast. The disgrace of a female, human-appearing firstborn would not spare either of them from the overlord's wrath. She asked Moira to bring her journal and a quill as she gingerly moved to her desk. Hurriedly, she scribbled out the history of their family, as well as instructed the handmaiden that the child was to be known as Deavon Laeren. Giving the journal and what coins and gems she had to Moira, she watched as the handmaiden carefully swaddled the newborn, and disappeared into the night. Aggrieved and distraught, Jaeyde returned to her birth bed, attempting to make it appear as though the child had been stillborn. Jaeyde lived in the House of Vaalor for another year or so, giving birth to yet another child, again female, but more like an elf in appearance. The overlord was pleased, but dismayed that it was a girl-child, beheaded Jaeyde.<br /> <br /> Moira Laeren made her way back towards Wehnimer's Landing, setting up in an abandoned cottage in the woods just outside of town. There the two lived in peace, and Deavon's human features did not attract undue attention. The child proved to have much of her father within her. Lacking any formal training, she relied on her instincts to guide her. Content with life in the forest, Deavon remained with Moira, often helping to tend the gardens when not out hunting. Her guardian grew ill when she was a young lass, and Deavon tended to her as she lay dying. On the eve of her death, Moira told her of the journal and gems hidden away in the cottage, which Deavon promised she would read, but at first morning's light, her guardian drew one last breath and Deavon wept. She cried for hours upon hours, alone in the world now, until the sun set, over the newly-turned earth of the grave. As Deavon knelt beside it in prayer, she heard her guardian's voice reminding her of the journal. Slowly she stood and entered the cottage, approaching the hidden tome.<br /> <br /> By candlelight, Deavon sat and read the fine scroll of Aedraeh and the rushed hand of Jaeyde, plus the notations from Moira added since. When she was done she sat, stunned at the revelations. Knowing what she must do now, carrying what she could manage, Deavon headed for the Landing gates the next morning. She found a room at Thrak's Inn in which to live, and roamed the surroundings, eventually making friends with Thalus, Bladepoint, Krrystall, Higlac, Roxana, Durgen, Madrona, and Diandra. Together they would often hunt, and when not, Deavon and Thalus would go off together to be alone in their budding relationship. Initially shy and afraid of the creatures she confronted, she was slow to advance. One day, while walking alone to meet her friends in the troll and gnome caves off the Mine Road, Deavon took the wrong trail and stumbled into the outer bounds of the Spider Temple of Arachne. Spotting a vapour hound, she turned to run, slipping and falling only to feel it's breath surround her. Death overtook her instantly. As she lay in the realm between life and ascension, a fog appeared and a tall, handsome cleric walked out from the center of the mist. He grasped her hand and magically transported her back to the Landing gates, and upon examining her, called upon his deity to raise her back to life.<br /> <br /> So struck was Deavon by this stranger's kindness that she was forever grateful. Looking upon the countenance of Lord Zurion Zulon's grey eyes, she felt a link form between them. For a time, she only saw him during her brief affair with his best friend, Lord Tselryk or while in town. But in the weeks soon after, he often would appear where she was out roaming with her friends, sometimes grabbing her hand and spiriting them off to be alone. They spent hours talking, sharing, laughing, and hunting. He introduced her to the history of the Landing and the Arkati, as well as his favorite retreat, Imaera's Shrine. He taught her how to practice her profession with more skill. Twas during this time that he sponsored her induction into [[House Brigatta]]. On that winter solstice eve, a horrible invasion overtook the lands. Making sure she was safely ensconced at home, he took her into the alcove, and there he knelt, drawing an engagement ring from out of his pouch and proposed to Deavon. She gladly accepted, weeping with joy, and prayed for his safe return to her, as he left to reign victorious. <br /> <br /> As winter waned into Spring, Zurion and Deavon were wed at Imaera's Shrine and they have remained married since. Now ennobled and fully a woman in her own right, Deavon proceeded to make her own mark in the lands. She continued her training and hunting, and was amid the first group to join the new Warrior Guild.

She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her entertaining at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with Brigatta's cook.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship. The acolyte had a major break with reality and was never seen again — something that likely highly pleased [[Eorgina]]. During an invasion of [[vathor]] in [[Ta'Illistim]], she watched dispassionately from the rooftop garden of the Moonglae Inn with Mithumbras, as the city burned while they both sipped wine, a small smile playing upon her lips, knowing that her Queen would delight in this turn of events.<br /> <br /> == '''Relationships''' ==<br /> There are very few men that have kept Berkana interested. She was in the company of Cosgrave Temaraire for about two-and-a-half years, which ended in 5106. There was a very brief fling of a few weeks with Picler Ralduvian before his untimely disappearance in 5112. She engaged in some mild flirtations since that time, until she met [[Faendryl]] Aurach Moonshadew in 5114. Their two-year relationship ended in the spring of 5116, and she left his home in [[Ta'Illistim]] to return to the Landing, where she met [[Talinvor]], a [[Dhe'nar]]. After several weeks of trying to tempt him, she asked to become his shira'qa, and spent another two years by his side until he released her in Fashanos 5118. <br /> <br /> In Koaratos of 5119, Berkana reacquainted socially with Blades Clanners, and they were often together for the next several months... until he wandered off again at the start of 5120.<br /> <br /> There was only one man who had captured her heart completely, and he had been in and out of her life since late 5097 until late 5117, and has often wandered off for years at a time. Beyond that, casual encounters were exceedingly rare, as delight without some lasting affection was unrewarding and unsatisfying.<br /> <br /> Then... during the first half of Ivastaen 5121, [[Telagan_(prime)|Telagan]] Vangauri, who had also returned from a long voyage, crossed paths with Berkana (who he'd met many years ago). They've been creating mayhem and mischief wherever they go.<br /> <br /> Few women can get past their envy and jealousy to become friends with Berkana, but those who do find they have a very loyal and trusted friend. Many may find her risqué wardrobe, cunning wit, brazen forwardness, and fierce attitude intimidating — though she'll cloak her demeanor in a veil of politeness while assessing weaknesses — much like a cat watching her prey.<br /> <br /> Berkana considers herself to be highly intuitive, with a good ability to assess people for their honesty and genuineness. If she finds someone is a liar or insincere, she'll either outwardly continue to be polite, yet keep a safe distance from them, or she'll excise them out of her life without a word. To engage in deception, unless by devious plan, would otherwise be a waste of time, as well as of no service to Eorgina.<br /> <br /> == '''Controversies''' ==<br /> While serving as the Head Priestess for the Circle of the Grey Moon (Order of Eorgina), an impulsive and brash acolyte continuously pushed Berkana for an undue promotion despite displaying beliefs and behaviors increasingly incongruent with the Order. In a cold move, upon yet another demand to be elevated from the acolyte, Berkana turned to one of the novitiates standing nearby, elevated her to Priestess instead, and divested herelf of all the trappings of the office of High Priestess, bestowing them on the newly appointed head of the Order. The acolyte, after pitching a fit of pique, was never seen again, and Berkana adopted a quiet retreat of worship.<br /> <br /> While performing during the first [[Revelia Carnivale|Revelia Carnivale]] in the year 5121, Berkana, [[Xanthium_(prime)|Xanthium]], and [[Kothos_(prime)|Kothos]] displayed their dance/fire dance and aerial silks skills in the House Brigatta gardens. Toward the end of her show, Berkana's silks caught fire and singed the great banyan tree.

She resides mainly at [[House Brigatta]] in [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where she served as Chair for over a decade. She also maintains a small tower in Ravenswood and a studio at Villa Brigatta on [[Teras Isle]]. She has a fondness for dark chocolate and bad men (and it seems most of them are rogues). During a two-year turn as shira'qa to [[Talinvor]], she learned how to master her psaltery, compose songs and prose, dance to delight the eyes, tantalize the senses, and perform with her aerial silks. Sometimes, you can catch her entertaining at the tavern of the Black Iron Chalice, performing impromptu divination readings for citizens, or baking fresh apricot tarts in the kitchen with Brigatta's cook.<br /> <br /> Superficially seemingly pleasant, Berkana does carry a quiet reputation for having a sharp tongue and being intolerant of fools. Despite her general indifference, she does sometimes travel to the Rift, Old Ta'Faendryl, and Sanctum of Scales to take pity on the dead and animate them. Black roses and the hue of nightshade are often two primary themes that identity much of her wardrobe, which she frequently changes. Favorite flowers are wisteria, nightshade, roses, and daturas. She likes to sip Brigatta's house bourbon, Elanthian Comfort, or their small batch fragrant pear liqueur.<br /> <br /> == '''History''' ==<br /> Born in Eorgaen 4623, Berkana escaped from indentured servitude with an Eorgina caravan, a band of gypsies that had kidnapped her when she was five-years-old. She took up residence in Wehnimer's Landing in 5096, and has been a member of [[House Brigatta]] since. Until recently, she had never considered marriage, and she had a scant handful of long-term relationships, including her two years as shira'qa (pet). She often shied away from centrist politics and shunned some of the zealots, like [[Chaston Griffin]], and other nefarious denizens, save for a moment in 5117 when she was a link to the mind of a girl, one of three Ithzir-touched children, the most infamous of whom was named [[Rodnay]]. The memory of that incident still lives within her, surfacing at times in restless dreams.<br /> <br /> Berkana was high priestess of a cult called the Circle of the Grey Moon, loyal to [[Eorgina]], around 5100. During that tenure, she discovered the writings of High Priestess Moriane saVere, and inspired by them, created three rites she continues to perform, most notably, the annual Rite of Dedication. One day, after a particular egregious acolyte once again had disrupted a rite with demands to be elevated, Berkana gathered up her ceremonial items, handed them off to a promising initiate (Naessi) and inducted her as a high priestess, shot one last glare at the offending disruptor, and wandered off for a period of seclusion and worship. The acolyte had a major break with reality and was never seen again — something that likely highly pleased [[Eorgina]]. During an invasion of [[vathor]] in [[Ta'Illistim]], she watched dispassionately from the rooftop garden of the Moonglae Inn with Mithumbras, as the city burned while they both sipped wine, a small smile playing upon her lips, knowing that her Queen would delight in this turn of events.<br /> <br /> == '''Relationships''' ==<br /> There are very few men that have kept Berkana interested. She was in the company of Cosgrave Temaraire for about two-and-a-half years, which ended in 5106. There was a very brief fling of a few weeks with Picler Ralduvian before his untimely disappearance in 5112. She engaged in some mild flirtations since that time, until she met [[Faendryl]] Aurach Moonshadew in 5114. Their two-year relationship ended in the spring of 5116, and she left his home in [[Ta'Illistim]] to return to the Landing, where she met [[Talinvor]], a [[Dhe'nar]]. After several weeks of trying to tempt him, she asked to become his shira'qa, and spent another two years by his side until he released her in Fashanos 5118. <br /> <br /> In Koaratos of 5119, Berkana reacquainted socially with Blades Clanners, and they were often together for the next several months... until he wandered off again at the start of 5120.<br /> <br /> There was only one man who had captured her heart completely, and he had been in and out of her life since late 5097 until late 5117, and has often wandered off for years at a time. Beyond that, casual encounters were exceedingly rare, as delight without some lasting affection was unrewarding and unsatisfying.<br /> <br /> Then... during the first half of Ivastaen 5121, [[Telagan_(prime)|Telagan]] Vangauri, who had also returned from a long voyage, crossed paths with Berkana (who he'd met many years ago). They've been creating mayhem and mischief wherever they go.<br /> <br /> Few women can get past their envy and jealousy to become friends with Berkana, but those who do find they have a very loyal and trusted friend. Many may find her risqué wardrobe, cunning wit, brazen forwardness, and fierce attitude intimidating — though she'll cloak her demeanor in a veil of politeness while assessing weaknesses — much like a cat watching her prey.<br /> <br /> Berkana considers herself to be highly intuitive, with a good ability to assess people for their honesty and genuineness. If she finds someone is a liar or insincere, she'll either outwardly continue to be polite, yet keep a safe distance from them, or she'll excise them out of her life without a word. To engage in deception, unless by devious plan, would otherwise be a waste of time, as well as of no service to Eorgina.<br /> <br /> == '''Controversies''' ==<br /> While serving as the Head Priestess for the Circle of the Grey Moon (Order of Eorgina), an impulsive and brash acolyte continuously pushed Berkana for an undue promotion despite displaying beliefs and behaviors increasingly incongruent with the Order. In a cold move, upon yet another demand to be elevated from the acolyte, Berkana turned to one of the novitiates standing nearby, elevated her to Priestess instead, and divested herelf of all the trappings of the office of High Priestess, bestowing them on the newly appointed head of the Order. The acolyte, after pitching a fit of pique, was never seen again, and Berkana adopted a quiet retreat of worship.<br /> <br /> While performing during the first [[Revelia Carnivale|Revelia Carnivale]] in the year 5121, Berkana, [[Xanthium_(prime)|Xanthium]], and [[Kothos_(prime)|Kothos]] displayed their dance/fire dance and aerial silks skills in the House Brigatta gardens. Toward the end of her show, Berkana's silks caught fire and singed the great banyan tree.

She has dark absinthe patina brushed onto her nicely manicured fingernails.<br /> <br /> :She has a thorned black wild rose inking on her wrist, a sinuous tendril of mournblooms inked in dark hues on her ankle, a colorful inking of solanaceae on her thigh, a pair of lustrous vaalin rings adorned with fiery emerald bijous in the upper ridge of her left ear, and an intricately inked cilice of curved argent talons on her thigh.<br /> <br /> :Embers of red-orange flame spark across her body, crackling as they race upwards into the air.<br /> <br /> :She is wearing a long shadow black leather jacket with a carved obsidian wild rose clasp, a gossamer hoarfrost lace gown, a corbeau ivy-motif filigreed vaalin wedding band, a thin black leather thighband, a pair of hoarfrost lace stockings gartered with thin silvery ribbons, and a pair of niveous white suede boots with sharp crystal heels.<br /> <br /> :A fur-filled clowder of cats surround Berkana, the demanding felines meowing in various tones as they brush against her legs, occasionally attempting to nip at her feet.<br /> <br /> == '''Performances''' ==<br /> At the 5120 Greystorm Manor Spring Enlightenment Ball, Berkana recited an impromptu sestina called &quot;Vernal Light&quot; — a sestina is a complex, thirty-nine-line poem featuring the intricate repetition of end-words in six stanzas and ending in an envoi.<br /> <br /> '''Vernal Light'''<br /> <br /> Gone the snow of wintry days when rises the sun,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> And bleak paleness becomes a rosy imbue in the sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Stark somber grey is now dressed in buds of pale green.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> As lacy white petals herald the sturdy boughs of apple trees.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Soft scent on the zephyr teases as it wafts by with a caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Tousled tendrils of silken locks rising in a gentle dance.<br /> <br /> Together, moth and butterfly flit in a swirling dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Glassine wings of dragonflies reflect the brilliant sun,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Bright yellow blossoms of dandelion offer soft caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> And tickle the nose when sniffed and raised to the sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Sheltering, as clouds close in, amid the orchard trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Low rumbles and a clash of light against angry green.<br /> <br /> Spring rains give birth to grass and leaves a lush green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Sparkling droplets shiver upon laden leaves as they dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Darkened bark nearly black on the damp fruit-baring trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Slowly drying as they are warmed by the reappearing sun.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Clouds part to reveal perfect blue in a clearing sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Golden light touching flesh, to warm it like a lover’s caress.<br /> <br /> Oh, wrap me, surround me in this gently sweet caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Tumble with me in spring grass, fragrant and green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Lift my imaginary wings and let me fly this deep blue sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Light as a feather, on gentle wind do I play and dance.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Laughter echoes as it surrounds, buoyed by the sun,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Carefree, swaying with the breeze as we dance among trees.<br /> <br /> Shadows grow longer, patterns cast by the trunks of trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Coolness of the afternoon swirls a shivered caress,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Lower dips the reddening orb of the setting sun.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Pale and bright, the birth of Spring turns dark green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> And all that turned and twirled disperse, end their dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Streaked with carmine, no longer the once unfettered sky.<br /> <br /> Slumber casts its pall over the land, the sleeping sky,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Slender trunks like thin dark ghosts, these lined trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Ghostly moonlight shivers through leaves in a flirting dance,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Casting lighted patterns all around in illusory caress.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Hours pass, and then, black fades to become again green,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> With the reappearance of the vernal light and morning sun.<br /> <br /> Another day and dance, another brilliant golden sun.&lt;BR&gt;<br /> Gather me sweet sky, that I might soar above the trees,&lt;BR&gt;<br /> That I indulge in your stroking caress, amid the pale green.</div>

[[Rune]]s are used as the focus for this magic, and more complex [[rune]]s can be used to target more specific [[Demon archetype|archetypes]] of [[minor demon]]s.<br /> <br /> Once summoned into this realm, these servants are capable of performing a myriad of [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|utility functions]] such as carrying the sorcerer's [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] which will allow them to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. Other highlights include carrying [[Minor Summoning (725)#Carrying Items|objects]], [[Minor Summoning (725)#Holding Coins|silvers]], and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|mana]], or [[Minor Summoning (725)#Find a Character|finding]] and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Deliver a Message|delivering messages to]] other characters, and even [[Minor Summoning (725)#Guard &amp; Cease|guarding]] their master's pockets from [[Pickpocketing|thieves]]. Demons summoned by this spell are ''not'' dangerous unless retaliating at a pickpocket, and otherwise cannot participate in the [[combat system]].<br /> <br /> === Usage ===<br /> * &lt;TT&gt;PREP 725|[[CAST]] {[[runestone]]}&lt;/tt&gt;, or &lt;tt&gt;PREP 725|SUMMON {DEMON}&lt;/tt&gt; to initiate. <br /> *To summon a specific demon, hyphenate the rune then the demon. SUMMON LORAE'TYR-IGAESHA, for example. You may also enter SUMMON by itself to display a list. Using {{mono|[[SUMMON]] {DEMON} }}will incur a 50% success rate penalty (see below).<br /> * The &lt;tt&gt;[[TELL (verb)|TELL MDEMON]]&lt;/tt&gt; command displays a full list of commands for the demon. Each [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|ability]] is also outlined within this article.<br /> <br /> === Demon Link &amp; Expiration ===<br /> <br /> Originally, demonologists used the link as a threat to keep the demon in line. Severing the link would strand the demon forever, unable to return home. This version of the magic is designed with safeguards against such an act, otherwise punishable by death. Thus the caster may [[Minor Summoning (725)#Leave|terminate the link]] at any time, returning the demon to its original plane. The link will be broken automatically if the caster dies or when the spell expires. Once having summoned, the caster may not summon again for five minutes due to the exertion caused by interplanar summoning. If the summoner fails a cast, they may not attempt again for ten full minutes.<br /> <br /> Two [[lesser demon]]s, the [[abyran'ra]] and the [[oculoth]] have the ability and motivation to break your control upon a [[minor demon]]. While the abyran'ra will only attempt to break your control over [[abyran|abyran'a]] and [[abyran|abyran'sa]] demons, the oculoth will attempt to break your control over any type of demon. However, it is not a guarantee that they will break it. The primary factor for fending off this attempt is Demonology ranks. If you lose, your connection to your demon will break, and you will be severely stunned. If you succeed, you are left unharmed, and the demon who attempted it will be stunned instead. The oculoth, given its nature as a more magically inclined demon, is more skilled at breaking the connection than an abyran'ra. In the case of a [[lithe black abyran'ra]] attempting to break a sorcerer's link with an [[abyran'sa]], it has been demonstrated that 200 Demonology ranks are required to successfully push back against the attempt with 100% certainty; it appears that [[Sorcerer Base]] ranks, [[Aura]], and [[Wisdom]] may also make secondary contributions to resisting the abyran'ra.<br /> <br /> '''The link is [[refreshable]] to the original duration by rubbing a [[vakra (rune)|vakra]] runestone.'''<br /> <br /> === Success Rate and Lore Benefits ===<br /> <br /> Summoning a demon '''with a runestone''' and '''within a summoning chamber''' will provide the following chances:<br /> <br /> *Valence runestones will have a 100% base chance<br /> *Demon runestones will have a 50% base chance<br /> *Archetype runestones will have a 25% base chance<br /> <br /> An attempt to summon without a runestone will incur a 50 percentage point penalty on the caster's chance to summon the demon. <br /> <br /> Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] will increase the chance for success by +1% per rank. Demonology Lore will also provide bonuses to the mana and silver capacities of applicable demons (see below).<br /> <br /> &lt;div {{prettydiv|margin-right=300px}}&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;b&gt;<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; = Base Chance + SL,D ranks<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/o runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 50<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 25<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/o runestone = Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 75<br /> <br /> Where Base Chance = 100% for valence runestones (V), 50% for demon runestones (D), and 25% for archetype runestones (A)<br /> &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}} align=&quot;left&quot;<br /> |+'''BASE PERCENT CHANCE TO SUMMON'''<br /> |+ &lt;small&gt;''V=Valence, D=Demon, A=Archetype''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! rowspan=&quot;3&quot;|Demon&lt;br&gt;Lore&lt;br&gt;Ranks||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Summoning Chamber||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Everywhere Else<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> !

Abyran'sa requires 100 ranks in Demonology to summon with a runestone in a summoning chamber with 100% success.''<br /> <br /> == Summoning Chambers ==<br /> <br /> [[Summoning chamber]]s are special areas which are sensitive to the piercing of the veil, increasing the ease with which sorcerers employ this magic. Casting within a chamber will provide a 25 percentage point bonus to success rate. Additionally, the extra 600 seconds will be applied when refreshing the duration in a chamber as well. <br /> <br /> All [[Sorcerer Guild]]s contain a summoning chamber. They are also located in some [[CHE]] structures.<br /> <br /> == Demons and the Law ==<br /> <br /> Due to tactics the [[Faendryl]] used during the [[Undead War]], the summoning and use of demons is widely shunned by most Elanthians. Demons are therefore subject to justice mechanics in all towns except [[Icemule Trace]], [[Mist Harbor]], and [[Wehnimer's Landing]] (since Feb. 2018). Special demon permits may be purchased in both [[Zul Logoth]] and [[Kharam Dzu]], but are otherwise considered illegal. The [[Sorcerer Guild]] teaches the [[Illusions]] [[guild skill|skill]] which can be used to cloak the demon's true image, allowing them to bypass the law as long as they remain obfuscated. Though demon illusions are permanent until dispelled, certain demons performing particular actions will cause the illusion to drop as well. A demon will automatically remain outside of town unless told to follow into town.<br /> <br /> Demons may still roam free in areas outside of the Justice System. Use [[JUSTICE (verb)|JUSTICE STATUS]] to determine whether an area is within jurisdiction.<br /> <br /> A sorcerer can command an undisguised demon to automatically enter or not enter a town with the MDEMON command.<br /> <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN ON}} instructs the demon to enter towns even if if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN OFF}} instructs the demon to not enter towns if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> <br /> == Minor Demon Abilities ==<br /> <br /> ''This information was originally harvested from [http://gsdemonologist.tripod.com/index.html Hakwea's Demonologist Handbook].''<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#99ff99|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 2 |[[Grik'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 4 |[[Lorae'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 3 |[[Shien'tyr (rune)]]<br /> |- align=center bgcolor=#cccccc <br /> !width=100|Ability<br /> ![[Grik]]<br /> ![[Imp]]<br /> ![[Abyran]]<br /> ![[Grantris]]<br /> ![[Igaesha]]<br /> ![[Verlok]]<br /> ![[Aishan]]<br /> ![[Shien]]<br /> ![[Arashan]]<br /> |- align=center<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|[[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|Hold Mana]]<br /> |Yes<br /> |Yes <br /> |Yes<br /> |&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;

Demons can hold a maximum of items equivalent to their &quot;Hold if Given&quot; value. Carrying an [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] counts as one item.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Holding Coins &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|[[GIVE]] {demon} {#} }}will give silver coins to the demon <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {#} }}instructs the demon to give the caster the coins it is carrying<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Coins&quot; + &quot;Coins per Rank&quot; determines the maximum amount of silver coins applicable demons may carry. For example, an [[imp]] (500 base) summoned by a sorcerer with 20 ranks (40 additional per rank) of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill could hold 1300 coins total (500 + [20*40] = 1300). Demons will not return coins automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Mana Sharing &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|SEND {#} {demon} }}sends mana to the demon<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SEND {#} }}instructs the demon to send mana to the caster<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Mana&quot; + &quot;Additional Mana&quot; determines the total amount of [[mana]] each demon can hold. 'Bonus' in this situation refers to the numerical bonus corresponding to the number of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill ranks (use the [[SKILLS (verb)|SKILLS]] command to view). For example, an [[igaesha]] (base mana of 12) summoned by a sorcerer with 50 ranks of demonology (skill bonus of 150) would be able to store a maximum of 27 mana (12 + [150/10] = 27). Demons which hold more mana are also more efficient at transferring it. Demons will not return mana automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> [[Channeling crystal]]s made via [[alchemy]] can be used by both demon and master to transfer more mana between the two.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Guard &amp; Cease &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GUARD}} instructs the demon to guard the caster from pickpockets<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CEASE}} instructs the demon to ceases guarding<br /> <br /> If the demon is in its summoner's room, they can be instructed to help notice characters attempting to [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]] their master. Each demon, depending upon their body type, will have a particular &quot;Attack Type&quot; they retaliate with automatically if either the master or demon is successful in noticing the thief. The attacks of certain demons will inflict a &quot;flare type&quot; (i.e. disease, lightning, etc.) upon the victim, in addition to the initial damage.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Scout &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SCOUT}} instructs the demon to scout the surrounding area for characters, creatures, and other minor demons<br /> <br /> The demon will leave the immediate room for a short period of time, and return shortly afterwards to inform its master of the presence of all [[character]]s, [[creature]]s, and [[minor demon]]s. Some areas do not work with this command, including the [[Sorcerer Guild]]s.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Eat &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON EAT {object} }}instructs the demon to consume an object<br /> <br /> Demons can be instructed to eat a variety of items within their reach. This can be used as disposal for various articles of trash, if a proper trash can is not available. Certain demons are particular about what they eat, though the [[igaesha]] will eat just about anything.<br /> <br /> Telling a demon to eat something will blow away its illusion.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Interfere &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON INTERFERE}} instructs the demon to prevent the establishment of a sanctuary<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON BREAK}} instructs the demon to attempt to disrupt an existing sanctuary (abyran'sa and imp ''only'' )<br /> <br /> Through its demonic powers, a demon can interfere with the creation of [[Minor Sanctuary (213)|sanctuaries]] or a [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. The success of this ability is based upon a comparison of the demonologist's [[Sorcerer Base]] and [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] ranks versus the sanctuary caster's [[Major Spiritual]] and [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|summoning]] ranks. Once instructed to interfere, a demon will continue to do so until told otherwise. Instructing a demon to interfere will always cause the [[illusion]] to fail, thus it is recommended to initiate this command prior to cloaking the demon. <br /> <br /> Only the [[Abyran#Mechanical Benefits and Flaws|abyran'sa]] is capable of breaking existing player-created sanctuaries. Telling an abyran'sa to do this takes 13 mana from the summoner, whether successful or not. The [[Imp]] is the lone archetype capable of breaking an active [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. <br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Control a web &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TO CONTROL}} [WEB] instructs an arashan to take control of a [[Web (118)|web]] for its owner.<br /> <br /> The arashan possesses a unique ability amongst demonkind; they are capable of taking control of the minor spirits that make up an area web summoned by the [[Web (118)]] spell. Controlling a web yields two major results: <br /> *the web is strengthened (gains an additional snare charge and the duration is refreshed)<br /> *the web comes under the control of the arashan's summoner. <br /> <br /> Controlling a web costs the caster 18 mana. Controlling a web is very taxing on the arashan, thus they may only do so once every five minutes.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Leave &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON LEAVE}} ends the spell duration, returning the demon to its origin<br /> <br /> The demon will drop the objects which it is carrying (not including silvers or mana), and return to its valence.<br /> {{top}}<br /> <br /> == Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell ==<br /> This list is now very incomplete with the [[Lord Vathon]] events of 2013 and 2014, and limited teachings at EG 2019 and 2020, as well as Duskruin 2022.<br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Sorcerers Knowing This Rune<br /> |-<br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc width=135|Grik'tyr-Grik<br /> |Angylisis, Malisai, Niderom, Nindon, Skylai, Solmarar, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Grik'tyr-Imp<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Evyrsio, Krolnivar, Malisai, Querthose, Rumpkin, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran<br /> |Krolnivar, Querthose, Ryynish, Stralan, Yactaevia<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'a<br /> |Moredin, Zurrain<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'sa<br /> |Allereli, Berkana, Cataclysmx, Dergoatean, Desorceri, Iaz, Isola, Kaldonis, Malisai, Missoni, Niderom, Querthose, Radamanthys, Silvean, Stralan, Vulterith, Walendria <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Grantris<br /> |Desorceri, Drigore, Kaldonis, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Igaesha<br /> |Allereli, Darphin, Evyrsio, Kaldonis, Missoni, Silvean, Ulthripe<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Verlok<br /> |Berkana, Darksin, Delarock, Kaldonis, Krolnivar, Lahanna, Maetriks, Matthosa, Niderom, Querthose, Silvean <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Aishan<br /> |Delarock, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Jameszz, Maetriks, Mianne, Niderom, Querthose, Stralan, Suntzhu, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Shien<br /> |Allereli (Darkling), Desmonique, Drigore (Darkling), Kaldonis, Kilaya, Malisai, Matthosa, Mekthros, Missoni, Niderom (Darkling), Rontuu, Silvean (Shadowling)<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Arashan<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Maetriks, Melikor, Silvean, Xorus<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Resources ==<br /> * [[Minor demon messaging]]<br /> * [[Enchiridion Valentia]]<br /> * [[The Enchiridion Valentia]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[Introduction to the Enchiridion Valentia and Summoning]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[/saved posts|Saved posts]]<br /> * [[Commentary on Enchiridion Valentia - Lorae'Tyr]]<br /> * [[Rhythus Veranthe Faendryl]] (release storyline)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Demons]]<br /> [[category: Pet Spells]]</div>

[[Rune]]s are used as the focus for this magic, and more complex [[rune]]s can be used to target more specific [[Demon archetype|archetypes]] of [[minor demon]]s.<br /> <br /> Once summoned into this realm, these servants are capable of performing a myriad of [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|utility functions]] such as carrying the sorcerer's [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] which will allow them to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. Other highlights include carrying [[Minor Summoning (725)#Carrying Items|objects]], [[Minor Summoning (725)#Holding Coins|silvers]], and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|mana]], or [[Minor Summoning (725)#Find a Character|finding]] and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Deliver a Message|delivering messages to]] other characters, and even [[Minor Summoning (725)#Guard &amp; Cease|guarding]] their master's pockets from [[Pickpocketing|thieves]]. Demons summoned by this spell are ''not'' dangerous unless retaliating at a pickpocket, and otherwise cannot participate in the [[combat system]].<br /> <br /> === Usage ===<br /> * &lt;TT&gt;PREP 725|[[CAST]] {[[runestone]]}&lt;/tt&gt;, or &lt;tt&gt;PREP 725|SUMMON {DEMON}&lt;/tt&gt; to initiate. <br /> *To summon a specific demon, hyphenate the rune then the demon. SUMMON LORAE'TYR-IGAESHA, for example. You may also enter SUMMON by itself to display a list. Using {{mono|[[SUMMON]] {DEMON} }}will incur a 50% success rate penalty (see below).<br /> * The &lt;tt&gt;[[TELL (verb)|TELL MDEMON]]&lt;/tt&gt; command displays a full list of commands for the demon. Each [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|ability]] is also outlined within this article.<br /> <br /> === Demon Link &amp; Expiration ===<br /> <br /> Originally, demonologists used the link as a threat to keep the demon in line. Severing the link would strand the demon forever, unable to return home. This version of the magic is designed with safeguards against such an act, otherwise punishable by death. Thus the caster may [[Minor Summoning (725)#Leave|terminate the link]] at any time, returning the demon to its original plane. The link will be broken automatically if the caster dies or when the spell expires. Once having summoned, the caster may not summon again for five minutes due to the exertion caused by interplanar summoning. If the summoner fails a cast, they may not attempt again for ten full minutes.<br /> <br /> Two [[lesser demon]]s, the [[abyran'ra]] and the [[oculoth]] have the ability and motivation to break your control upon a [[minor demon]]. While the abyran'ra will only attempt to break your control over [[abyran|abyran'a]] and [[abyran|abyran'sa]] demons, the oculoth will attempt to break your control over any type of demon. However, it is not a guarantee that they will break it. The primary factor for fending off this attempt is Demonology ranks. If you lose, your connection to your demon will break, and you will be severely stunned. If you succeed, you are left unharmed, and the demon who attempted it will be stunned instead. The oculoth, given its nature as a more magically inclined demon, is more skilled at breaking the connection than an abyran'ra. In the case of a [[lithe black abyran'ra]] attempting to break a sorcerer's link with an [[abyran'sa]], it has been demonstrated that 200 Demonology ranks are required to successfully push back against the attempt with 100% certainty; it appears that [[Sorcerer Base]] ranks, [[Aura]], and [[Wisdom]] may also make secondary contributions to resisting the abyran'ra.<br /> <br /> '''The link is [[refreshable]] to the original duration by rubbing a [[vakra (rune)|vakra]] runestone.'''<br /> <br /> === Success Rate and Lore Benefits ===<br /> <br /> Summoning a demon '''with a runestone''' and '''within a summoning chamber''' will provide the following chances:<br /> <br /> *Valence runestones will have a 100% base chance<br /> *Demon runestones will have a 50% base chance<br /> *Archetype runestones will have a 25% base chance<br /> <br /> An attempt to summon without a runestone will incur a 50 percentage point penalty on the caster's chance to summon the demon. <br /> <br /> Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] will increase the chance for success by +1% per rank. Demonology Lore will also provide bonuses to the mana and silver capacities of applicable demons (see below).<br /> <br /> &lt;div {{prettydiv|margin-right=300px}}&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;b&gt;<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; = Base Chance + SL,D ranks<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/o runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 50<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 25<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/o runestone = Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 75<br /> <br /> Where Base Chance = 100% for valence runestones (V), 50% for demon runestones (D), and 25% for archetype runestones (A)<br /> &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}} align=&quot;left&quot;<br /> |+'''BASE PERCENT CHANCE TO SUMMON'''<br /> |+ &lt;small&gt;''V=Valence, D=Demon, A=Archetype''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! rowspan=&quot;3&quot;|Demon&lt;br&gt;Lore&lt;br&gt;Ranks||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Summoning Chamber||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Everywhere Else<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> !

Since the 25% benefit to summoning chambers is &quot;approximate,&quot; table is approximate. Also, '''difficulty varies depending on valence, demon, or archetype'''. Abyran'sa requires 100 ranks in Demonology to summon with a runestone in a summoning chamber with 100% success.''<br /> <br /> == Summoning Chambers ==<br /> <br /> [[Summoning chamber]]s are special areas which are sensitive to the piercing of the veil, increasing the ease with which sorcerers employ this magic. Casting within a chamber will provide a 25 percentage point bonus to success rate. Additionally, the extra 600 seconds will be applied when refreshing the duration in a chamber as well. <br /> <br /> All [[Sorcerer Guild]]s contain a summoning chamber. They are also located in some [[CHE]] structures.<br /> <br /> == Demons and the Law ==<br /> <br /> Due to tactics the [[Faendryl]] used during the [[Undead War]], the summoning and use of demons is widely shunned by most Elanthians. Demons are therefore subject to justice mechanics in all towns except [[Icemule Trace]], [[Mist Harbor]], and [[Wehnimer's Landing]] (since Feb. 2018). Special demon permits may be purchased in both [[Zul Logoth]] and [[Kharam Dzu]], but are otherwise considered illegal. The [[Sorcerer Guild]] teaches the [[Illusions]] [[guild skill|skill]] which can be used to cloak the demon's true image, allowing them to bypass the law as long as they remain obfuscated. Though demon illusions are permanent until dispelled, certain demons performing particular actions will cause the illusion to drop as well. A demon will automatically remain outside of town unless told to follow into town.<br /> <br /> Demons may still roam free in areas outside of the Justice System. Use [[JUSTICE (verb)|JUSTICE STATUS]] to determine whether an area is within jurisdiction.<br /> <br /> A sorcerer can command an undisguised demon to automatically enter or not enter a town with the MDEMON command.<br /> <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN ON}} instructs the demon to enter towns even if if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN OFF}} instructs the demon to not enter towns if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> <br /> == Minor Demon Abilities ==<br /> <br /> ''This information was originally harvested from [http://gsdemonologist.tripod.com/index.html Hakwea's Demonologist Handbook].''<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#99ff99|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 2 |[[Grik'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 4 |[[Lorae'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 3 |[[Shien'tyr (rune)]]<br /> |- align=center bgcolor=#cccccc <br /> !width=100|Ability<br /> ![[Grik]]<br /> ![[Imp]]<br /> ![[Abyran]]<br /> ![[Grantris]]<br /> ![[Igaesha]]<br /> ![[Verlok]]<br /> ![[Aishan]]<br /> ![[Shien]]<br /> ![[Arashan]]<br /> |- align=center<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|[[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|Hold Mana]]<br /> |Yes<br /> |Yes <br /> |Yes<br /> |&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;

instructs the demon to move manually<br /> <br /> Demons [[Minor Summoning (725)#Carry &amp; Release|carrying an eye]] will cause each room description to be echoed to the user as if using the eye in the same manner.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Find a Character &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON FIND {character} }}instructs the demon to locate a particular character<br /> <br /> Sends the demon to the location of a target, and if found, will follow them. Subject to the skill of the summoner and demon, vs. difficulty of finding that character. [[Stalking and Hiding|Hidden]] and [[Invisibility (916)|invisible]] characters are more difficult to locate. Additionally, increased difficulty in finding targets will cause the demon to take longer at the task. Only targets in the same area can be targeted successfully.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Deliver a Message &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DELIVER {character} {message} }}instructs the demon to speak to another character on the caster's behalf<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER {demon} {message} }}is for other characters to reply to a demon's message<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER MIST {message} }}is used to communicate using shien's special message capability<br /> <br /> Applicable demons will convey a message to a person for you. The target of the message may then reply, but there is wait time before the demon can deliver additional messages. The [[shien]] possess a unique method of delivery, which allows messages to be relayed in real time, without pause. This requires the summoner's room to be [[Light (205)|dark]]. Only targets in the same area can have messages delivered to them.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carry &amp; Release &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CARRY}} instructs the demon to pick up and carry an eye<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON RELEASE}} instructs the demon to release the eye into the room<br /> <br /> [[Eye Spy (707)]] can be used in conjunction with a demon in order to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. While the demon is holding the eye, only basic things can be seen. However, the eye can be released and grasped again without restriction. While independent, the eye maintains its full range of sight. Be cautious not to leave the eye stranded, as there is no command to send the demon directly to an eye. The eye is considered an item, thus the demon cannot carry it if already holding its [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|maximum capacity]]. This function is also very useful to easily cast mass [[Evil Eye (717)]].<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carrying Items &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GET {item} }}instructs the demon to pick up an object<br /> * {{mono|GIVE {demon} }}gives the demon the object you are holding in the caster's right hand<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {caster} }}demon will give an item it is currently carrying to the caster<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DROP {item} }}instructs the demon to drop an item it is carrying<br /> <br /> Certain demons ([[aishan]] &amp; [[igaesha]]) will accept more items given to them by their master directly, rather than picking them up. &quot;Get&quot; in the table refers to the number of items a demon will pick up and carry on its own (i.e. remotely). &quot;Hold if Given&quot; is the amount of items the demon can accept if handed to them by their summoner. Demons can hold a maximum of items equivalent to their &quot;Hold if Given&quot; value. Carrying an [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] counts as one item.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Holding Coins &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|[[GIVE]] {demon} {#} }}will give silver coins to the demon <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {#} }}instructs the demon to give the caster the coins it is carrying<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Coins&quot; + &quot;Coins per Rank&quot; determines the maximum amount of silver coins applicable demons may carry. For example, an [[imp]] (500 base) summoned by a sorcerer with 20 ranks (40 additional per rank) of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill could hold 1300 coins total (500 + [20*40] = 1300). Demons will not return coins automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Mana Sharing &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|SEND {#} {demon} }}sends mana to the demon<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SEND {#} }}instructs the demon to send mana to the caster<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Mana&quot; + &quot;Additional Mana&quot; determines the total amount of [[mana]] each demon can hold. 'Bonus' in this situation refers to the numerical bonus corresponding to the number of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill ranks (use the [[SKILLS (verb)|SKILLS]] command to view). For example, an [[igaesha]] (base mana of 12) summoned by a sorcerer with 50 ranks of demonology (skill bonus of 150) would be able to store a maximum of 27 mana (12 + [150/10] = 27). Demons which hold more mana are also more efficient at transferring it. Demons will not return mana automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> [[Channeling crystal]]s made via [[alchemy]] can be used by both demon and master to transfer more mana between the two.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Guard &amp; Cease &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GUARD}} instructs the demon to guard the caster from pickpockets<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CEASE}} instructs the demon to ceases guarding<br /> <br /> If the demon is in its summoner's room, they can be instructed to help notice characters attempting to [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]] their master. Each demon, depending upon their body type, will have a particular &quot;Attack Type&quot; they retaliate with automatically if either the master or demon is successful in noticing the thief. The attacks of certain demons will inflict a &quot;flare type&quot; (i.e. disease, lightning, etc.) upon the victim, in addition to the initial damage.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Scout &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SCOUT}} instructs the demon to scout the surrounding area for characters, creatures, and other minor demons<br /> <br /> The demon will leave the immediate room for a short period of time, and return shortly afterwards to inform its master of the presence of all [[character]]s, [[creature]]s, and [[minor demon]]s. Some areas do not work with this command, including the [[Sorcerer Guild]]s.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Eat &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON EAT {object} }}instructs the demon to consume an object<br /> <br /> Demons can be instructed to eat a variety of items within their reach. This can be used as disposal for various articles of trash, if a proper trash can is not available. Certain demons are particular about what they eat, though the [[igaesha]] will eat just about anything.<br /> <br /> Telling a demon to eat something will blow away its illusion.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Interfere &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON INTERFERE}} instructs the demon to prevent the establishment of a sanctuary<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON BREAK}} instructs the demon to attempt to disrupt an existing sanctuary (abyran'sa and imp ''only'' )<br /> <br /> Through its demonic powers, a demon can interfere with the creation of [[Minor Sanctuary (213)|sanctuaries]] or a [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. The success of this ability is based upon a comparison of the demonologist's [[Sorcerer Base]] and [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] ranks versus the sanctuary caster's [[Major Spiritual]] and [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|summoning]] ranks. Once instructed to interfere, a demon will continue to do so until told otherwise. Instructing a demon to interfere will always cause the [[illusion]] to fail, thus it is recommended to initiate this command prior to cloaking the demon. <br /> <br /> Only the [[Abyran#Mechanical Benefits and Flaws|abyran'sa]] is capable of breaking existing player-created sanctuaries. Telling an abyran'sa to do this takes 13 mana from the summoner, whether successful or not. The [[Imp]] is the lone archetype capable of breaking an active [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. <br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Control a web &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TO CONTROL}} [WEB] instructs an arashan to take control of a [[Web (118)|web]] for its owner.<br /> <br /> The arashan possesses a unique ability amongst demonkind; they are capable of taking control of the minor spirits that make up an area web summoned by the [[Web (118)]] spell. Controlling a web yields two major results: <br /> *the web is strengthened (gains an additional snare charge and the duration is refreshed)<br /> *the web comes under the control of the arashan's summoner. <br /> <br /> Controlling a web costs the caster 18 mana. Controlling a web is very taxing on the arashan, thus they may only do so once every five minutes.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Leave &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON LEAVE}} ends the spell duration, returning the demon to its origin<br /> <br /> The demon will drop the objects which it is carrying (not including silvers or mana), and return to its valence.<br /> {{top}}<br /> <br /> == Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell ==<br /> This list is now very incomplete with the [[Lord Vathon]] events of 2013 and 2014, and limited teachings at EG 2019 and 2020, as well as Duskruin 2022.<br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Sorcerers Knowing This Rune<br /> |-<br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc width=135|Grik'tyr-Grik<br /> |Angylisis, Malisai, Niderom, Nindon, Skylai, Solmarar, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Grik'tyr-Imp<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Evyrsio, Krolnivar, Malisai, Querthose, Rumpkin, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran<br /> |Krolnivar, Querthose, Ryynish, Stralan, Yactaevia<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'a<br /> |Moredin, Zurrain<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'sa<br /> |Allereli, Berkana, Cataclysmx, Dergoatean, Desorceri, Iaz, Isola, Kaldonis, Malisai, Missoni, Niderom, Querthose, Radamanthys, Silvean, Stralan, Vulterith, Walendria <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Grantris<br /> |Desorceri, Drigore, Kaldonis, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Igaesha<br /> |Allereli, Darphin, Evyrsio, Kaldonis, Missoni, Silvean, Ulthripe<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Verlok<br /> |Berkana, Delarock, Kaldonis, Krolnivar, Lahanna, Maetriks, Matthosa, Niderom, Querthose, Silvean <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Aishan<br /> |Delarock, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Jameszz, Maetriks, Mianne, Niderom, Querthose, Stralan, Suntzhu, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Shien<br /> |Allereli (Darkling), Desmonique, Drigore (Darkling), Kaldonis, Kilaya, Malisai, Matthosa, Mekthros, Missoni, Niderom (Darkling), Rontuu, Silvean (Shadowling)<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Arashan<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Maetriks, Melikor, Silvean, Xorus<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Resources ==<br /> * [[Minor demon messaging]]<br /> * [[Enchiridion Valentia]]<br /> * [[The Enchiridion Valentia]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[Introduction to the Enchiridion Valentia and Summoning]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[/saved posts|Saved posts]]<br /> * [[Commentary on Enchiridion Valentia - Lorae'Tyr]]<br /> * [[Rhythus Veranthe Faendryl]] (release storyline)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Demons]]<br /> [[category: Pet Spells]]</div>

<p>LAVENDER: /* Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell */</p> <hr /> <div>{{spell<br /> | mnemonic = MSUMMON<br /> | base_dur = 1200 sec<br /> | add_dur = +60 sec per [[Sorcerer Base|rank]]<br /> | span = [[Refreshable]], special<br /> | type = Utility<br /> | subtype = Summoning<br /> | skill = None<br /> | components = None, [[Runestone]]<br /> | availability = None<br /> | navigation = {{Sorcerer base navigation}}<br /> }}<br /> __TOC__<br /> In one swift motion, the demonologist pierces the [[veil]] between [[valence]]s, seeks a suitable [[Demon|being]] to enslave for menial chores, pulls them through the tear, and finally links them to their original existence so they may be returned there. [[Rune]]s are used as the focus for this magic, and more complex [[rune]]s can be used to target more specific [[Demon archetype|archetypes]] of [[minor demon]]s.<br /> <br /> Once summoned into this realm, these servants are capable of performing a myriad of [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|utility functions]] such as carrying the sorcerer's [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] which will allow them to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. Other highlights include carrying [[Minor Summoning (725)#Carrying Items|objects]], [[Minor Summoning (725)#Holding Coins|silvers]], and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|mana]], or [[Minor Summoning (725)#Find a Character|finding]] and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Deliver a Message|delivering messages to]] other characters, and even [[Minor Summoning (725)#Guard &amp; Cease|guarding]] their master's pockets from [[Pickpocketing|thieves]]. Demons summoned by this spell are ''not'' dangerous unless retaliating at a pickpocket, and otherwise cannot participate in the [[combat system]].<br /> <br /> === Usage ===<br /> * &lt;TT&gt;PREP 725|[[CAST]] {[[runestone]]}&lt;/tt&gt;, or &lt;tt&gt;PREP 725|SUMMON {DEMON}&lt;/tt&gt; to initiate. <br /> *To summon a specific demon, hyphenate the rune then the demon. SUMMON LORAE'TYR-IGAESHA, for example. You may also enter SUMMON by itself to display a list. Using {{mono|[[SUMMON]] {DEMON} }}will incur a 50% success rate penalty (see below).<br /> * The &lt;tt&gt;[[TELL (verb)|TELL MDEMON]]&lt;/tt&gt; command displays a full list of commands for the demon. Each [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|ability]] is also outlined within this article.<br /> <br /> === Demon Link &amp; Expiration ===<br /> <br /> Originally, demonologists used the link as a threat to keep the demon in line. Severing the link would strand the demon forever, unable to return home. This version of the magic is designed with safeguards against such an act, otherwise punishable by death. Thus the caster may [[Minor Summoning (725)#Leave|terminate the link]] at any time, returning the demon to its original plane. The link will be broken automatically if the caster dies or when the spell expires. Once having summoned, the caster may not summon again for five minutes due to the exertion caused by interplanar summoning. If the summoner fails a cast, they may not attempt again for ten full minutes.<br /> <br /> Two [[lesser demon]]s, the [[abyran'ra]] and the [[oculoth]] have the ability and motivation to break your control upon a [[minor demon]]. While the abyran'ra will only attempt to break your control over [[abyran|abyran'a]] and [[abyran|abyran'sa]] demons, the oculoth will attempt to break your control over any type of demon. However, it is not a guarantee that they will break it. The primary factor for fending off this attempt is Demonology ranks. If you lose, your connection to your demon will break, and you will be severely stunned. If you succeed, you are left unharmed, and the demon who attempted it will be stunned instead. The oculoth, given its nature as a more magically inclined demon, is more skilled at breaking the connection than an abyran'ra. In the case of a [[lithe black abyran'ra]] attempting to break a sorcerer's link with an [[abyran'sa]], it has been demonstrated that 200 Demonology ranks are required to successfully push back against the attempt with 100% certainty; it appears that [[Sorcerer Base]] ranks, [[Aura]], and [[Wisdom]] may also make secondary contributions to resisting the abyran'ra.<br /> <br /> '''The link is [[refreshable]] to the original duration by rubbing a [[vakra (rune)|vakra]] runestone.'''<br /> <br /> === Success Rate and Lore Benefits ===<br /> <br /> Summoning a demon '''with a runestone''' and '''within a summoning chamber''' will provide the following chances:<br /> <br /> *Valence runestones will have a 100% base chance<br /> *Demon runestones will have a 50% base chance<br /> *Archetype runestones will have a 25% base chance<br /> <br /> An attempt to summon without a runestone will incur a 50 percentage point penalty on the caster's chance to summon the demon. <br /> <br /> Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] will increase the chance for success by +1% per rank. Demonology Lore will also provide bonuses to the mana and silver capacities of applicable demons (see below).<br /> <br /> &lt;div {{prettydiv|margin-right=300px}}&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;b&gt;<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; = Base Chance + SL,D ranks<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/o runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 50<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 25<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/o runestone = Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 75<br /> <br /> Where Base Chance = 100% for valence runestones (V), 50% for demon runestones (D), and 25% for archetype runestones (A)<br /> &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}} align=&quot;left&quot;<br /> |+'''BASE PERCENT CHANCE TO SUMMON'''<br /> |+ &lt;small&gt;''V=Valence, D=Demon, A=Archetype''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! rowspan=&quot;3&quot;|Demon&lt;br&gt;Lore&lt;br&gt;Ranks||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Summoning Chamber||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Everywhere Else<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> !

Abyran'sa requires 100 ranks in Demonology to summon with a runestone in a summoning chamber with 100% success.''<br /> <br /> == Summoning Chambers ==<br /> <br /> [[Summoning chamber]]s are special areas which are sensitive to the piercing of the veil, increasing the ease with which sorcerers employ this magic. Casting within a chamber will provide a 25 percentage point bonus to success rate. Additionally, the extra 600 seconds will be applied when refreshing the duration in a chamber as well. <br /> <br /> All [[Sorcerer Guild]]s contain a summoning chamber. They are also located in some [[CHE]] structures.<br /> <br /> == Demons and the Law ==<br /> <br /> Due to tactics the [[Faendryl]] used during the [[Undead War]], the summoning and use of demons is widely shunned by most Elanthians. Demons are therefore subject to justice mechanics in all towns except [[Icemule Trace]], [[Mist Harbor]], and [[Wehnimer's Landing]] (since Feb. 2018). Special demon permits may be purchased in both [[Zul Logoth]] and [[Kharam Dzu]], but are otherwise considered illegal. The [[Sorcerer Guild]] teaches the [[Illusions]] [[guild skill|skill]] which can be used to cloak the demon's true image, allowing them to bypass the law as long as they remain obfuscated. Though demon illusions are permanent until dispelled, certain demons performing particular actions will cause the illusion to drop as well.

Subject to the skill of the summoner and demon, vs. difficulty of finding that character. [[Stalking and Hiding|Hidden]] and [[Invisibility (916)|invisible]] characters are more difficult to locate. Additionally, increased difficulty in finding targets will cause the demon to take longer at the task. Only targets in the same area can be targeted successfully.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Deliver a Message &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DELIVER {character} {message} }}instructs the demon to speak to another character on the caster's behalf<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER {demon} {message} }}is for other characters to reply to a demon's message<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER MIST {message} }}is used to communicate using shien's special message capability<br /> <br /> Applicable demons will convey a message to a person for you. The target of the message may then reply, but there is wait time before the demon can deliver additional messages. The [[shien]] possess a unique method of delivery, which allows messages to be relayed in real time, without pause. This requires the summoner's room to be [[Light (205)|dark]]. Only targets in the same area can have messages delivered to them.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carry &amp; Release &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CARRY}} instructs the demon to pick up and carry an eye<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON RELEASE}} instructs the demon to release the eye into the room<br /> <br /> [[Eye Spy (707)]] can be used in conjunction with a demon in order to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. While the demon is holding the eye, only basic things can be seen. However, the eye can be released and grasped again without restriction. While independent, the eye maintains its full range of sight. Be cautious not to leave the eye stranded, as there is no command to send the demon directly to an eye. The eye is considered an item, thus the demon cannot carry it if already holding its [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|maximum capacity]]. This function is also very useful to easily cast mass [[Evil Eye (717)]].<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carrying Items &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GET {item} }}instructs the demon to pick up an object<br /> * {{mono|GIVE {demon} }}gives the demon the object you are holding in the caster's right hand<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {caster} }}demon will give an item it is currently carrying to the caster<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DROP {item} }}instructs the demon to drop an item it is carrying<br /> <br /> Certain demons ([[aishan]] &amp; [[igaesha]]) will accept more items given to them by their master directly, rather than picking them up. &quot;Get&quot; in the table refers to the number of items a demon will pick up and carry on its own (i.e. remotely). &quot;Hold if Given&quot; is the amount of items the demon can accept if handed to them by their summoner. Demons can hold a maximum of items equivalent to their &quot;Hold if Given&quot; value. Carrying an [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] counts as one item.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Holding Coins &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|[[GIVE]] {demon} {#} }}will give silver coins to the demon <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {#} }}instructs the demon to give the caster the coins it is carrying<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Coins&quot; + &quot;Coins per Rank&quot; determines the maximum amount of silver coins applicable demons may carry. For example, an [[imp]] (500 base) summoned by a sorcerer with 20 ranks (40 additional per rank) of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill could hold 1300 coins total (500 + [20*40] = 1300). Demons will not return coins automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Mana Sharing &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|SEND {#} {demon} }}sends mana to the demon<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SEND {#} }}instructs the demon to send mana to the caster<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Mana&quot; + &quot;Additional Mana&quot; determines the total amount of [[mana]] each demon can hold. 'Bonus' in this situation refers to the numerical bonus corresponding to the number of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill ranks (use the [[SKILLS (verb)|SKILLS]] command to view). For example, an [[igaesha]] (base mana of 12) summoned by a sorcerer with 50 ranks of demonology (skill bonus of 150) would be able to store a maximum of 27 mana (12 + [150/10] = 27). Demons which hold more mana are also more efficient at transferring it. Demons will not return mana automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> [[Channeling crystal]]s made via [[alchemy]] can be used by both demon and master to transfer more mana between the two.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Guard &amp; Cease &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GUARD}} instructs the demon to guard the caster from pickpockets<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CEASE}} instructs the demon to ceases guarding<br /> <br /> If the demon is in its summoner's room, they can be instructed to help notice characters attempting to [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]] their master. Each demon, depending upon their body type, will have a particular &quot;Attack Type&quot; they retaliate with automatically if either the master or demon is successful in noticing the thief. The attacks of certain demons will inflict a &quot;flare type&quot; (i.e. disease, lightning, etc.) upon the victim, in addition to the initial damage.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Scout &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SCOUT}} instructs the demon to scout the surrounding area for characters, creatures, and other minor demons<br /> <br /> The demon will leave the immediate room for a short period of time, and return shortly afterwards to inform its master of the presence of all [[character]]s, [[creature]]s, and [[minor demon]]s. Some areas do not work with this command, including the [[Sorcerer Guild]]s.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Eat &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON EAT {object} }}instructs the demon to consume an object<br /> <br /> Demons can be instructed to eat a variety of items within their reach. This can be used as disposal for various articles of trash, if a proper trash can is not available. Certain demons are particular about what they eat, though the [[igaesha]] will eat just about anything.<br /> <br /> Telling a demon to eat something will blow away its illusion.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Interfere &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON INTERFERE}} instructs the demon to prevent the establishment of a sanctuary<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON BREAK}} instructs the demon to attempt to disrupt an existing sanctuary (abyran'sa and imp ''only'' )<br /> <br /> Through its demonic powers, a demon can interfere with the creation of [[Minor Sanctuary (213)|sanctuaries]] or a [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. The success of this ability is based upon a comparison of the demonologist's [[Sorcerer Base]] and [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] ranks versus the sanctuary caster's [[Major Spiritual]] and [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|summoning]] ranks. Once instructed to interfere, a demon will continue to do so until told otherwise. Instructing a demon to interfere will always cause the [[illusion]] to fail, thus it is recommended to initiate this command prior to cloaking the demon. <br /> <br /> Only the [[Abyran#Mechanical Benefits and Flaws|abyran'sa]] is capable of breaking existing player-created sanctuaries. Telling an abyran'sa to do this takes 13 mana from the summoner, whether successful or not. The [[Imp]] is the lone archetype capable of breaking an active [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. <br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Control a web &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TO CONTROL}} [WEB] instructs an arashan to take control of a [[Web (118)|web]] for its owner.<br /> <br /> The arashan possesses a unique ability amongst demonkind; they are capable of taking control of the minor spirits that make up an area web summoned by the [[Web (118)]] spell. Controlling a web yields two major results: <br /> *the web is strengthened (gains an additional snare charge and the duration is refreshed)<br /> *the web comes under the control of the arashan's summoner. <br /> <br /> Controlling a web costs the caster 18 mana. Controlling a web is very taxing on the arashan, thus they may only do so once every five minutes.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Leave &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON LEAVE}} ends the spell duration, returning the demon to its origin<br /> <br /> The demon will drop the objects which it is carrying (not including silvers or mana), and return to its valence.<br /> {{top}}<br /> <br /> == Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell ==<br /> This list is now very incomplete with the [[Lord Vathon]] events of 2013 and 2014, and limited teachings at EG 2019 and 2020, as well as Duskruin 2022.<br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Sorcerers Knowing This Rune<br /> |-<br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc width=135|Grik'tyr-Grik<br /> |Angylisis, Malisai, Niderom, Nindon, Skylai, Solmarar, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Grik'tyr-Imp<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Evyrsio, Krolnivar, Malisai, Querthose, Rumpkin, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran<br /> |Krolnivar, Querthose, Ryynish, Stralan, Yactaevia<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'a<br /> |Moredin, Zurrain<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'sa<br /> |Allereli, Berkana, Cataclysmx, Dergoatean, Desorceri, Iaz, Isola, Kaldonis, Malisai, Missoni, Niderom, Querthose, Radamanthys, Silvean, Stralan, Vulterith <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Grantris<br /> |Desorceri, Drigore, Kaldonis, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Igaesha<br /> |Allereli, Darphin, Evyrsio, Kaldonis, Missoni, Silvean, Ulthripe<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Verlok<br /> |Berkana, Delarock, Kaldonis, Krolnivar, Lahanna, Maetriks, Matthosa, Niderom, Querthose, Silvean <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Aishan<br /> |Delarock, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Jameszz, Maetriks, Mianne, Niderom, Querthose, Stralan, Suntzhu, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Shien<br /> |Allereli (Darkling), Desmonique, Drigore (Darkling), Kaldonis, Kilaya, Malisai, Matthosa, Mekthros, Missoni, Niderom (Darkling), Rontuu, Silvean (Shadowling)<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Arashan<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Maetriks, Melikor, Silvean, Xorus<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Resources ==<br /> * [[Minor demon messaging]]<br /> * [[Enchiridion Valentia]]<br /> * [[The Enchiridion Valentia]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[Introduction to the Enchiridion Valentia and Summoning]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[/saved posts|Saved posts]]<br /> * [[Commentary on Enchiridion Valentia - Lorae'Tyr]]<br /> * [[Rhythus Veranthe Faendryl]] (release storyline)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Demons]]<br /> [[category: Pet Spells]]</div>

<p>LAVENDER: /* Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell */</p> <hr /> <div>{{spell<br /> | mnemonic = MSUMMON<br /> | base_dur = 1200 sec<br /> | add_dur = +60 sec per [[Sorcerer Base|rank]]<br /> | span = [[Refreshable]], special<br /> | type = Utility<br /> | subtype = Summoning<br /> | skill = None<br /> | components = None, [[Runestone]]<br /> | availability = None<br /> | navigation = {{Sorcerer base navigation}}<br /> }}<br /> __TOC__<br /> In one swift motion, the demonologist pierces the [[veil]] between [[valence]]s, seeks a suitable [[Demon|being]] to enslave for menial chores, pulls them through the tear, and finally links them to their original existence so they may be returned there. [[Rune]]s are used as the focus for this magic, and more complex [[rune]]s can be used to target more specific [[Demon archetype|archetypes]] of [[minor demon]]s.<br /> <br /> Once summoned into this realm, these servants are capable of performing a myriad of [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|utility functions]] such as carrying the sorcerer's [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] which will allow them to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. Other highlights include carrying [[Minor Summoning (725)#Carrying Items|objects]], [[Minor Summoning (725)#Holding Coins|silvers]], and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|mana]], or [[Minor Summoning (725)#Find a Character|finding]] and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Deliver a Message|delivering messages to]] other characters, and even [[Minor Summoning (725)#Guard &amp; Cease|guarding]] their master's pockets from [[Pickpocketing|thieves]]. Demons summoned by this spell are ''not'' dangerous unless retaliating at a pickpocket, and otherwise cannot participate in the [[combat system]].<br /> <br /> === Usage ===<br /> * &lt;TT&gt;PREP 725|[[CAST]] {[[runestone]]}&lt;/tt&gt;, or &lt;tt&gt;PREP 725|SUMMON {DEMON}&lt;/tt&gt; to initiate. <br /> *To summon a specific demon, hyphenate the rune then the demon. SUMMON LORAE'TYR-IGAESHA, for example. You may also enter SUMMON by itself to display a list. Using {{mono|[[SUMMON]] {DEMON} }}will incur a 50% success rate penalty (see below).<br /> * The &lt;tt&gt;[[TELL (verb)|TELL MDEMON]]&lt;/tt&gt; command displays a full list of commands for the demon. Each [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|ability]] is also outlined within this article.<br /> <br /> === Demon Link &amp; Expiration ===<br /> <br /> Originally, demonologists used the link as a threat to keep the demon in line. Severing the link would strand the demon forever, unable to return home. This version of the magic is designed with safeguards against such an act, otherwise punishable by death. Thus the caster may [[Minor Summoning (725)#Leave|terminate the link]] at any time, returning the demon to its original plane. The link will be broken automatically if the caster dies or when the spell expires. Once having summoned, the caster may not summon again for five minutes due to the exertion caused by interplanar summoning. If the summoner fails a cast, they may not attempt again for ten full minutes.<br /> <br /> Two [[lesser demon]]s, the [[abyran'ra]] and the [[oculoth]] have the ability and motivation to break your control upon a [[minor demon]]. While the abyran'ra will only attempt to break your control over [[abyran|abyran'a]] and [[abyran|abyran'sa]] demons, the oculoth will attempt to break your control over any type of demon. However, it is not a guarantee that they will break it. The primary factor for fending off this attempt is Demonology ranks. If you lose, your connection to your demon will break, and you will be severely stunned. If you succeed, you are left unharmed, and the demon who attempted it will be stunned instead. The oculoth, given its nature as a more magically inclined demon, is more skilled at breaking the connection than an abyran'ra. In the case of a [[lithe black abyran'ra]] attempting to break a sorcerer's link with an [[abyran'sa]], it has been demonstrated that 200 Demonology ranks are required to successfully push back against the attempt with 100% certainty; it appears that [[Sorcerer Base]] ranks, [[Aura]], and [[Wisdom]] may also make secondary contributions to resisting the abyran'ra.<br /> <br /> '''The link is [[refreshable]] to the original duration by rubbing a [[vakra (rune)|vakra]] runestone.'''<br /> <br /> === Success Rate and Lore Benefits ===<br /> <br /> Summoning a demon '''with a runestone''' and '''within a summoning chamber''' will provide the following chances:<br /> <br /> *Valence runestones will have a 100% base chance<br /> *Demon runestones will have a 50% base chance<br /> *Archetype runestones will have a 25% base chance<br /> <br /> An attempt to summon without a runestone will incur a 50 percentage point penalty on the caster's chance to summon the demon. <br /> <br /> Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] will increase the chance for success by +1% per rank. Demonology Lore will also provide bonuses to the mana and silver capacities of applicable demons (see below).<br /> <br /> &lt;div {{prettydiv|margin-right=300px}}&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;b&gt;<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; = Base Chance + SL,D ranks<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/o runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 50<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 25<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/o runestone = Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 75<br /> <br /> Where Base Chance = 100% for valence runestones (V), 50% for demon runestones (D), and 25% for archetype runestones (A)<br /> &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}} align=&quot;left&quot;<br /> |+'''BASE PERCENT CHANCE TO SUMMON'''<br /> |+ &lt;small&gt;''V=Valence, D=Demon, A=Archetype''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! rowspan=&quot;3&quot;|Demon&lt;br&gt;Lore&lt;br&gt;Ranks||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Summoning Chamber||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Everywhere Else<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> !

Abyran'sa requires 100 ranks in Demonology to summon with a runestone in a summoning chamber with 100% success.''<br /> <br /> == Summoning Chambers ==<br /> <br /> [[Summoning chamber]]s are special areas which are sensitive to the piercing of the veil, increasing the ease with which sorcerers employ this magic. Casting within a chamber will provide a 25 percentage point bonus to success rate. Additionally, the extra 600 seconds will be applied when refreshing the duration in a chamber as well. <br /> <br /> All [[Sorcerer Guild]]s contain a summoning chamber. They are also located in some [[CHE]] structures.<br /> <br /> == Demons and the Law ==<br /> <br /> Due to tactics the [[Faendryl]] used during the [[Undead War]], the summoning and use of demons is widely shunned by most Elanthians. Demons are therefore subject to justice mechanics in all towns except [[Icemule Trace]], [[Mist Harbor]], and [[Wehnimer's Landing]] (since Feb. 2018). Special demon permits may be purchased in both [[Zul Logoth]] and [[Kharam Dzu]], but are otherwise considered illegal. The [[Sorcerer Guild]] teaches the [[Illusions]] [[guild skill|skill]] which can be used to cloak the demon's true image, allowing them to bypass the law as long as they remain obfuscated. Though demon illusions are permanent until dispelled, certain demons performing particular actions will cause the illusion to drop as well. A demon will automatically remain outside of town unless told to follow into town.<br /> <br /> Demons may still roam free in areas outside of the Justice System. Use [[JUSTICE (verb)|JUSTICE STATUS]] to determine whether an area is within jurisdiction.<br /> <br /> A sorcerer can command an undisguised demon to automatically enter or not enter a town with the MDEMON command.<br /> <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN ON}} instructs the demon to enter towns even if if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN OFF}} instructs the demon to not enter towns if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> <br /> == Minor Demon Abilities ==<br /> <br /> ''This information was originally harvested from [http://gsdemonologist.tripod.com/index.html Hakwea's Demonologist Handbook].''<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#99ff99|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 2 |[[Grik'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 4 |[[Lorae'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 3 |[[Shien'tyr (rune)]]<br /> |- align=center bgcolor=#cccccc <br /> !width=100|Ability<br /> ![[Grik]]<br /> ![[Imp]]<br /> ![[Abyran]]<br /> ![[Grantris]]<br /> ![[Igaesha]]<br /> ![[Verlok]]<br /> ![[Aishan]]<br /> ![[Shien]]<br /> ![[Arashan]]<br /> |- align=center<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|[[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|Hold Mana]]<br /> |Yes<br /> |Yes <br /> |Yes<br /> |&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;

Subject to the skill of the summoner and demon, vs. difficulty of finding that character. [[Stalking and Hiding|Hidden]] and [[Invisibility (916)|invisible]] characters are more difficult to locate. Additionally, increased difficulty in finding targets will cause the demon to take longer at the task. Only targets in the same area can be targeted successfully.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Deliver a Message &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DELIVER {character} {message} }}instructs the demon to speak to another character on the caster's behalf<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER {demon} {message} }}is for other characters to reply to a demon's message<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER MIST {message} }}is used to communicate using shien's special message capability<br /> <br /> Applicable demons will convey a message to a person for you. The target of the message may then reply, but there is wait time before the demon can deliver additional messages. The [[shien]] possess a unique method of delivery, which allows messages to be relayed in real time, without pause. This requires the summoner's room to be [[Light (205)|dark]]. Only targets in the same area can have messages delivered to them.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carry &amp; Release &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CARRY}} instructs the demon to pick up and carry an eye<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON RELEASE}} instructs the demon to release the eye into the room<br /> <br /> [[Eye Spy (707)]] can be used in conjunction with a demon in order to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. While the demon is holding the eye, only basic things can be seen. However, the eye can be released and grasped again without restriction. While independent, the eye maintains its full range of sight. Be cautious not to leave the eye stranded, as there is no command to send the demon directly to an eye. The eye is considered an item, thus the demon cannot carry it if already holding its [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|maximum capacity]]. This function is also very useful to easily cast mass [[Evil Eye (717)]].<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carrying Items &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GET {item} }}instructs the demon to pick up an object<br /> * {{mono|GIVE {demon} }}gives the demon the object you are holding in the caster's right hand<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {caster} }}demon will give an item it is currently carrying to the caster<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DROP {item} }}instructs the demon to drop an item it is carrying<br /> <br /> Certain demons ([[aishan]] &amp; [[igaesha]]) will accept more items given to them by their master directly, rather than picking them up. &quot;Get&quot; in the table refers to the number of items a demon will pick up and carry on its own (i.e. remotely). &quot;Hold if Given&quot; is the amount of items the demon can accept if handed to them by their summoner. Demons can hold a maximum of items equivalent to their &quot;Hold if Given&quot; value. Carrying an [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] counts as one item.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Holding Coins &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|[[GIVE]] {demon} {#} }}will give silver coins to the demon <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {#} }}instructs the demon to give the caster the coins it is carrying<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Coins&quot; + &quot;Coins per Rank&quot; determines the maximum amount of silver coins applicable demons may carry. For example, an [[imp]] (500 base) summoned by a sorcerer with 20 ranks (40 additional per rank) of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill could hold 1300 coins total (500 + [20*40] = 1300). Demons will not return coins automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Mana Sharing &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|SEND {#} {demon} }}sends mana to the demon<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SEND {#} }}instructs the demon to send mana to the caster<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Mana&quot; + &quot;Additional Mana&quot; determines the total amount of [[mana]] each demon can hold. 'Bonus' in this situation refers to the numerical bonus corresponding to the number of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill ranks (use the [[SKILLS (verb)|SKILLS]] command to view). For example, an [[igaesha]] (base mana of 12) summoned by a sorcerer with 50 ranks of demonology (skill bonus of 150) would be able to store a maximum of 27 mana (12 + [150/10] = 27). Demons which hold more mana are also more efficient at transferring it. Demons will not return mana automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> [[Channeling crystal]]s made via [[alchemy]] can be used by both demon and master to transfer more mana between the two.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Guard &amp; Cease &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GUARD}} instructs the demon to guard the caster from pickpockets<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CEASE}} instructs the demon to ceases guarding<br /> <br /> If the demon is in its summoner's room, they can be instructed to help notice characters attempting to [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]] their master. Each demon, depending upon their body type, will have a particular &quot;Attack Type&quot; they retaliate with automatically if either the master or demon is successful in noticing the thief. The attacks of certain demons will inflict a &quot;flare type&quot; (i.e. disease, lightning, etc.) upon the victim, in addition to the initial damage.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Scout &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SCOUT}} instructs the demon to scout the surrounding area for characters, creatures, and other minor demons<br /> <br /> The demon will leave the immediate room for a short period of time, and return shortly afterwards to inform its master of the presence of all [[character]]s, [[creature]]s, and [[minor demon]]s. Some areas do not work with this command, including the [[Sorcerer Guild]]s.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Eat &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON EAT {object} }}instructs the demon to consume an object<br /> <br /> Demons can be instructed to eat a variety of items within their reach. This can be used as disposal for various articles of trash, if a proper trash can is not available. Certain demons are particular about what they eat, though the [[igaesha]] will eat just about anything.<br /> <br /> Telling a demon to eat something will blow away its illusion.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Interfere &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON INTERFERE}} instructs the demon to prevent the establishment of a sanctuary<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON BREAK}} instructs the demon to attempt to disrupt an existing sanctuary (abyran'sa and imp ''only'' )<br /> <br /> Through its demonic powers, a demon can interfere with the creation of [[Minor Sanctuary (213)|sanctuaries]] or a [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. The success of this ability is based upon a comparison of the demonologist's [[Sorcerer Base]] and [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] ranks versus the sanctuary caster's [[Major Spiritual]] and [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|summoning]] ranks. Once instructed to interfere, a demon will continue to do so until told otherwise. Instructing a demon to interfere will always cause the [[illusion]] to fail, thus it is recommended to initiate this command prior to cloaking the demon. <br /> <br /> Only the [[Abyran#Mechanical Benefits and Flaws|abyran'sa]] is capable of breaking existing player-created sanctuaries. Telling an abyran'sa to do this takes 13 mana from the summoner, whether successful or not.

Controlling a web yields two major results: <br /> *the web is strengthened (gains an additional snare charge and the duration is refreshed)<br /> *the web comes under the control of the arashan's summoner. <br /> <br /> Controlling a web costs the caster 18 mana.

[[Rune]]s are used as the focus for this magic, and more complex [[rune]]s can be used to target more specific [[Demon archetype|archetypes]] of [[minor demon]]s.<br /> <br /> Once summoned into this realm, these servants are capable of performing a myriad of [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|utility functions]] such as carrying the sorcerer's [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] which will allow them to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. Other highlights include carrying [[Minor Summoning (725)#Carrying Items|objects]], [[Minor Summoning (725)#Holding Coins|silvers]], and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|mana]], or [[Minor Summoning (725)#Find a Character|finding]] and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Deliver a Message|delivering messages to]] other characters, and even [[Minor Summoning (725)#Guard &amp; Cease|guarding]] their master's pockets from [[Pickpocketing|thieves]]. Demons summoned by this spell are ''not'' dangerous unless retaliating at a pickpocket, and otherwise cannot participate in the [[combat system]].<br /> <br /> === Usage ===<br /> * &lt;TT&gt;PREP 725|[[CAST]] {[[runestone]]}&lt;/tt&gt;, or &lt;tt&gt;PREP 725|SUMMON {DEMON}&lt;/tt&gt; to initiate. <br /> *To summon a specific demon, hyphenate the rune then the demon. SUMMON LORAE'TYR-IGAESHA, for example. You may also enter SUMMON by itself to display a list. Using {{mono|[[SUMMON]] {DEMON} }}will incur a 50% success rate penalty (see below).<br /> * The &lt;tt&gt;[[TELL (verb)|TELL MDEMON]]&lt;/tt&gt; command displays a full list of commands for the demon. Each [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|ability]] is also outlined within this article.<br /> <br /> === Demon Link &amp; Expiration ===<br /> <br /> Originally, demonologists used the link as a threat to keep the demon in line. Severing the link would strand the demon forever, unable to return home. This version of the magic is designed with safeguards against such an act, otherwise punishable by death. Thus the caster may [[Minor Summoning (725)#Leave|terminate the link]] at any time, returning the demon to its original plane. The link will be broken automatically if the caster dies or when the spell expires. Once having summoned, the caster may not summon again for five minutes due to the exertion caused by interplanar summoning. If the summoner fails a cast, they may not attempt again for ten full minutes.<br /> <br /> Two [[lesser demon]]s, the [[abyran'ra]] and the [[oculoth]] have the ability and motivation to break your control upon a [[minor demon]]. While the abyran'ra will only attempt to break your control over [[abyran|abyran'a]] and [[abyran|abyran'sa]] demons, the oculoth will attempt to break your control over any type of demon. However, it is not a guarantee that they will break it. The primary factor for fending off this attempt is Demonology ranks. If you lose, your connection to your demon will break, and you will be severely stunned. If you succeed, you are left unharmed, and the demon who attempted it will be stunned instead. The oculoth, given its nature as a more magically inclined demon, is more skilled at breaking the connection than an abyran'ra. In the case of a [[lithe black abyran'ra]] attempting to break a sorcerer's link with an [[abyran'sa]], it has been demonstrated that 200 Demonology ranks are required to successfully push back against the attempt with 100% certainty; it appears that [[Sorcerer Base]] ranks, [[Aura]], and [[Wisdom]] may also make secondary contributions to resisting the abyran'ra.<br /> <br /> '''The link is [[refreshable]] to the original duration by rubbing a [[vakra (rune)|vakra]] runestone.'''<br /> <br /> === Success Rate and Lore Benefits ===<br /> <br /> Summoning a demon '''with a runestone''' and '''within a summoning chamber''' will provide the following chances:<br /> <br /> *Valence runestones will have a 100% base chance<br /> *Demon runestones will have a 50% base chance<br /> *Archetype runestones will have a 25% base chance<br /> <br /> An attempt to summon without a runestone will incur a 50 percentage point penalty on the caster's chance to summon the demon. <br /> <br /> Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] will increase the chance for success by +1% per rank. Demonology Lore will also provide bonuses to the mana and silver capacities of applicable demons (see below).<br /> <br /> &lt;div {{prettydiv|margin-right=300px}}&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;b&gt;<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; = Base Chance + SL,D ranks<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/o runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 50<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 25<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/o runestone = Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 75<br /> <br /> Where Base Chance = 100% for valence runestones (V), 50% for demon runestones (D), and 25% for archetype runestones (A)<br /> &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}} align=&quot;left&quot;<br /> |+'''BASE PERCENT CHANCE TO SUMMON'''<br /> |+ &lt;small&gt;''V=Valence, D=Demon, A=Archetype''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! rowspan=&quot;3&quot;|Demon&lt;br&gt;Lore&lt;br&gt;Ranks||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Summoning Chamber||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Everywhere Else<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> !

Since the 25% benefit to summoning chambers is &quot;approximate,&quot; table is approximate. Also, '''difficulty varies depending on valence, demon, or archetype'''. Abyran'sa requires 100 ranks in Demonology to summon with a runestone in a summoning chamber with 100% success.''<br /> <br /> == Summoning Chambers ==<br /> <br /> [[Summoning chamber]]s are special areas which are sensitive to the piercing of the veil, increasing the ease with which sorcerers employ this magic. Casting within a chamber will provide a 25 percentage point bonus to success rate. Additionally, the extra 600 seconds will be applied when refreshing the duration in a chamber as well. <br /> <br /> All [[Sorcerer Guild]]s contain a summoning chamber. They are also located in some [[CHE]] structures.<br /> <br /> == Demons and the Law ==<br /> <br /> Due to tactics the [[Faendryl]] used during the [[Undead War]], the summoning and use of demons is widely shunned by most Elanthians. Demons are therefore subject to justice mechanics in all towns except [[Icemule Trace]], [[Mist Harbor]], and [[Wehnimer's Landing]] (since Feb. 2018). Special demon permits may be purchased in both [[Zul Logoth]] and [[Kharam Dzu]], but are otherwise considered illegal. The [[Sorcerer Guild]] teaches the [[Illusions]] [[guild skill|skill]] which can be used to cloak the demon's true image, allowing them to bypass the law as long as they remain obfuscated. Though demon illusions are permanent until dispelled, certain demons performing particular actions will cause the illusion to drop as well. A demon will automatically remain outside of town unless told to follow into town.<br /> <br /> Demons may still roam free in areas outside of the Justice System. Use [[JUSTICE (verb)|JUSTICE STATUS]] to determine whether an area is within jurisdiction.<br /> <br /> A sorcerer can command an undisguised demon to automatically enter or not enter a town with the MDEMON command.<br /> <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN ON}} instructs the demon to enter towns even if if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN OFF}} instructs the demon to not enter towns if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> <br /> == Minor Demon Abilities ==<br /> <br /> ''This information was originally harvested from [http://gsdemonologist.tripod.com/index.html Hakwea's Demonologist Handbook].''<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#99ff99|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 2 |[[Grik'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 4 |[[Lorae'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 3 |[[Shien'tyr (rune)]]<br /> |- align=center bgcolor=#cccccc <br /> !width=100|Ability<br /> ![[Grik]]<br /> ![[Imp]]<br /> ![[Abyran]]<br /> ![[Grantris]]<br /> ![[Igaesha]]<br /> ![[Verlok]]<br /> ![[Aishan]]<br /> ![[Shien]]<br /> ![[Arashan]]<br /> |- align=center<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|[[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|Hold Mana]]<br /> |Yes<br /> |Yes <br /> |Yes<br /> |&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;

Carrying an [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] counts as one item.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Holding Coins &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|[[GIVE]] {demon} {#} }}will give silver coins to the demon <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {#} }}instructs the demon to give the caster the coins it is carrying<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Coins&quot; + &quot;Coins per Rank&quot; determines the maximum amount of silver coins applicable demons may carry. For example, an [[imp]] (500 base) summoned by a sorcerer with 20 ranks (40 additional per rank) of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill could hold 1300 coins total (500 + [20*40] = 1300). Demons will not return coins automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Mana Sharing &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|SEND {#} {demon} }}sends mana to the demon<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SEND {#} }}instructs the demon to send mana to the caster<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Mana&quot; + &quot;Additional Mana&quot; determines the total amount of [[mana]] each demon can hold. 'Bonus' in this situation refers to the numerical bonus corresponding to the number of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill ranks (use the [[SKILLS (verb)|SKILLS]] command to view). For example, an [[igaesha]] (base mana of 12) summoned by a sorcerer with 50 ranks of demonology (skill bonus of 150) would be able to store a maximum of 27 mana (12 + [150/10] = 27). Demons which hold more mana are also more efficient at transferring it. Demons will not return mana automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> [[Channeling crystal]]s made via [[alchemy]] can be used by both demon and master to transfer more mana between the two.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Guard &amp; Cease &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GUARD}} instructs the demon to guard the caster from pickpockets<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CEASE}} instructs the demon to ceases guarding<br /> <br /> If the demon is in its summoner's room, they can be instructed to help notice characters attempting to [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]] their master. Each demon, depending upon their body type, will have a particular &quot;Attack Type&quot; they retaliate with automatically if either the master or demon is successful in noticing the thief. The attacks of certain demons will inflict a &quot;flare type&quot; (i.e. disease, lightning, etc.) upon the victim, in addition to the initial damage.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Scout &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SCOUT}} instructs the demon to scout the surrounding area for characters, creatures, and other minor demons<br /> <br /> The demon will leave the immediate room for a short period of time, and return shortly afterwards to inform its master of the presence of all [[character]]s, [[creature]]s, and [[minor demon]]s. Some areas do not work with this command, including the [[Sorcerer Guild]]s.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Eat &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON EAT {object} }}instructs the demon to consume an object<br /> <br /> Demons can be instructed to eat a variety of items within their reach. This can be used as disposal for various articles of trash, if a proper trash can is not available. Certain demons are particular about what they eat, though the [[igaesha]] will eat just about anything.<br /> <br /> Telling a demon to eat something will blow away its illusion.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Interfere &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON INTERFERE}} instructs the demon to prevent the establishment of a sanctuary<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON BREAK}} instructs the demon to attempt to disrupt an existing sanctuary (abyran'sa and imp ''only'' )<br /> <br /> Through its demonic powers, a demon can interfere with the creation of [[Minor Sanctuary (213)|sanctuaries]] or a [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. The success of this ability is based upon a comparison of the demonologist's [[Sorcerer Base]] and [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] ranks versus the sanctuary caster's [[Major Spiritual]] and [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|summoning]] ranks. Once instructed to interfere, a demon will continue to do so until told otherwise. Instructing a demon to interfere will always cause the [[illusion]] to fail, thus it is recommended to initiate this command prior to cloaking the demon. <br /> <br /> Only the [[Abyran#Mechanical Benefits and Flaws|abyran'sa]] is capable of breaking existing player-created sanctuaries. Telling an abyran'sa to do this takes 13 mana from the summoner, whether successful or not. The [[Imp]] is the lone archetype capable of breaking an active [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. <br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Control a web &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TO CONTROL}} [WEB] instructs an arashan to take control of a [[Web (118)|web]] for its owner.<br /> <br /> The arashan possesses a unique ability amongst demonkind; they are capable of taking control of the minor spirits that make up an area web summoned by the [[Web (118)]] spell. Controlling a web yields two major results: <br /> *the web is strengthened (gains an additional snare charge and the duration is refreshed)<br /> *the web comes under the control of the arashan's summoner. <br /> <br /> Controlling a web costs the caster 18 mana. Controlling a web is very taxing on the arashan, thus they may only do so once every five minutes.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Leave &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON LEAVE}} ends the spell duration, returning the demon to its origin<br /> <br /> The demon will drop the objects which it is carrying (not including silvers or mana), and return to its valence.<br /> {{top}}<br /> <br /> == Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell ==<br /> This list is now very incomplete with the [[Lord Vathon]] events of 2013 and 2014, and limited teachings at EG 2019 and 2020, as well as Duskruin 2022.<br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Sorcerers Knowing This Rune<br /> |-<br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc width=135|Grik'tyr-Grik<br /> |Angylisis, Malisai, Niderom, Nindon, Skylai, Solmarar, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Grik'tyr-Imp<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Evyrsio, Krolnivar, Malisai, Querthose, Rumpkin, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran<br /> |Krolnivar, Querthose, Ryynish, Stralan, Yactaevia<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'a<br /> |Moredin, Zurrain<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'sa<br /> |Allereli, Berkana, Cataclysmx, Dergoatean, Desorceri, Iaz, Isola, Kaldonis, Malisai, Missoni, Niderom, Querthose, Radamanthys, Silvean, Stralan, Vulterith <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Grantris<br /> |Desorceri, Drigore, Kaldonis, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Igaesha<br /> |Allereli, Darphin, Evyrsio, Kaldonis, Silvean, Ulthripe<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Verlok<br /> |Berkana, Delarock, Kaldonis, Krolnivar, Lahanna, Maetriks, Matthosa, Niderom, Querthose, Silvean <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Aishan<br /> |Delarock, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Jameszz, Maetriks, Mianne, Niderom, Querthose, Stralan, Suntzhu, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Shien<br /> |Allereli (Darkling), Desmonique, Drigore (Darkling), Kaldonis, Kilaya, Malisai, Matthosa, Mekthros, Missoni, Niderom (Darkling), Rontuu, Silvean (Shadowling)<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Arashan<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Drigore, Maetriks, Melikor, Silvean, Xorus<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Resources ==<br /> * [[Minor demon messaging]]<br /> * [[Enchiridion Valentia]]<br /> * [[The Enchiridion Valentia]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[Introduction to the Enchiridion Valentia and Summoning]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[/saved posts|Saved posts]]<br /> * [[Commentary on Enchiridion Valentia - Lorae'Tyr]]<br /> * [[Rhythus Veranthe Faendryl]] (release storyline)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Demons]]<br /> [[category: Pet Spells]]</div>

<p>LAVENDER: /* Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell */</p> <hr /> <div>{{spell<br /> | mnemonic = MSUMMON<br /> | base_dur = 1200 sec<br /> | add_dur = +60 sec per [[Sorcerer Base|rank]]<br /> | span = [[Refreshable]], special<br /> | type = Utility<br /> | subtype = Summoning<br /> | skill = None<br /> | components = None, [[Runestone]]<br /> | availability = None<br /> | navigation = {{Sorcerer base navigation}}<br /> }}<br /> __TOC__<br /> In one swift motion, the demonologist pierces the [[veil]] between [[valence]]s, seeks a suitable [[Demon|being]] to enslave for menial chores, pulls them through the tear, and finally links them to their original existence so they may be returned there. [[Rune]]s are used as the focus for this magic, and more complex [[rune]]s can be used to target more specific [[Demon archetype|archetypes]] of [[minor demon]]s.<br /> <br /> Once summoned into this realm, these servants are capable of performing a myriad of [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|utility functions]] such as carrying the sorcerer's [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] which will allow them to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. Other highlights include carrying [[Minor Summoning (725)#Carrying Items|objects]], [[Minor Summoning (725)#Holding Coins|silvers]], and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|mana]], or [[Minor Summoning (725)#Find a Character|finding]] and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Deliver a Message|delivering messages to]] other characters, and even [[Minor Summoning (725)#Guard &amp; Cease|guarding]] their master's pockets from [[Pickpocketing|thieves]]. Demons summoned by this spell are ''not'' dangerous unless retaliating at a pickpocket, and otherwise cannot participate in the [[combat system]].<br /> <br /> === Usage ===<br /> * &lt;TT&gt;PREP 725|[[CAST]] {[[runestone]]}&lt;/tt&gt;, or &lt;tt&gt;PREP 725|SUMMON {DEMON}&lt;/tt&gt; to initiate. <br /> *To summon a specific demon, hyphenate the rune then the demon. SUMMON LORAE'TYR-IGAESHA, for example. You may also enter SUMMON by itself to display a list. Using {{mono|[[SUMMON]] {DEMON} }}will incur a 50% success rate penalty (see below).<br /> * The &lt;tt&gt;[[TELL (verb)|TELL MDEMON]]&lt;/tt&gt; command displays a full list of commands for the demon. Each [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|ability]] is also outlined within this article.<br /> <br /> === Demon Link &amp; Expiration ===<br /> <br /> Originally, demonologists used the link as a threat to keep the demon in line. Severing the link would strand the demon forever, unable to return home. This version of the magic is designed with safeguards against such an act, otherwise punishable by death. Thus the caster may [[Minor Summoning (725)#Leave|terminate the link]] at any time, returning the demon to its original plane. The link will be broken automatically if the caster dies or when the spell expires. Once having summoned, the caster may not summon again for five minutes due to the exertion caused by interplanar summoning. If the summoner fails a cast, they may not attempt again for ten full minutes.<br /> <br /> Two [[lesser demon]]s, the [[abyran'ra]] and the [[oculoth]] have the ability and motivation to break your control upon a [[minor demon]]. While the abyran'ra will only attempt to break your control over [[abyran|abyran'a]] and [[abyran|abyran'sa]] demons, the oculoth will attempt to break your control over any type of demon. However, it is not a guarantee that they will break it. The primary factor for fending off this attempt is Demonology ranks. If you lose, your connection to your demon will break, and you will be severely stunned. If you succeed, you are left unharmed, and the demon who attempted it will be stunned instead. The oculoth, given its nature as a more magically inclined demon, is more skilled at breaking the connection than an abyran'ra. In the case of a [[lithe black abyran'ra]] attempting to break a sorcerer's link with an [[abyran'sa]], it has been demonstrated that 200 Demonology ranks are required to successfully push back against the attempt with 100% certainty; it appears that [[Sorcerer Base]] ranks, [[Aura]], and [[Wisdom]] may also make secondary contributions to resisting the abyran'ra.<br /> <br /> '''The link is [[refreshable]] to the original duration by rubbing a [[vakra (rune)|vakra]] runestone.'''<br /> <br /> === Success Rate and Lore Benefits ===<br /> <br /> Summoning a demon '''with a runestone''' and '''within a summoning chamber''' will provide the following chances:<br /> <br /> *Valence runestones will have a 100% base chance<br /> *Demon runestones will have a 50% base chance<br /> *Archetype runestones will have a 25% base chance<br /> <br /> An attempt to summon without a runestone will incur a 50 percentage point penalty on the caster's chance to summon the demon. <br /> <br /> Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] will increase the chance for success by +1% per rank. Demonology Lore will also provide bonuses to the mana and silver capacities of applicable demons (see below).<br /> <br /> &lt;div {{prettydiv|margin-right=300px}}&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;b&gt;<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; = Base Chance + SL,D ranks<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/o runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 50<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 25<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/o runestone = Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 75<br /> <br /> Where Base Chance = 100% for valence runestones (V), 50% for demon runestones (D), and 25% for archetype runestones (A)<br /> &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}} align=&quot;left&quot;<br /> |+'''BASE PERCENT CHANCE TO SUMMON'''<br /> |+ &lt;small&gt;''V=Valence, D=Demon, A=Archetype''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! rowspan=&quot;3&quot;|Demon&lt;br&gt;Lore&lt;br&gt;Ranks||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Summoning Chamber||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Everywhere Else<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> !

Since the 25% benefit to summoning chambers is &quot;approximate,&quot; table is approximate. Also, '''difficulty varies depending on valence, demon, or archetype'''. Abyran'sa requires 100 ranks in Demonology to summon with a runestone in a summoning chamber with 100% success.''<br /> <br /> == Summoning Chambers ==<br /> <br /> [[Summoning chamber]]s are special areas which are sensitive to the piercing of the veil, increasing the ease with which sorcerers employ this magic. Casting within a chamber will provide a 25 percentage point bonus to success rate. Additionally, the extra 600 seconds will be applied when refreshing the duration in a chamber as well. <br /> <br /> All [[Sorcerer Guild]]s contain a summoning chamber. They are also located in some [[CHE]] structures.<br /> <br /> == Demons and the Law ==<br /> <br /> Due to tactics the [[Faendryl]] used during the [[Undead War]], the summoning and use of demons is widely shunned by most Elanthians. Demons are therefore subject to justice mechanics in all towns except [[Icemule Trace]], [[Mist Harbor]], and [[Wehnimer's Landing]] (since Feb. 2018). Special demon permits may be purchased in both [[Zul Logoth]] and [[Kharam Dzu]], but are otherwise considered illegal. The [[Sorcerer Guild]] teaches the [[Illusions]] [[guild skill|skill]] which can be used to cloak the demon's true image, allowing them to bypass the law as long as they remain obfuscated. Though demon illusions are permanent until dispelled, certain demons performing particular actions will cause the illusion to drop as well. A demon will automatically remain outside of town unless told to follow into town.<br /> <br /> Demons may still roam free in areas outside of the Justice System. Use [[JUSTICE (verb)|JUSTICE STATUS]] to determine whether an area is within jurisdiction.<br /> <br /> A sorcerer can command an undisguised demon to automatically enter or not enter a town with the MDEMON command.<br /> <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN ON}} instructs the demon to enter towns even if if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN OFF}} instructs the demon to not enter towns if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> <br /> == Minor Demon Abilities ==<br /> <br /> ''This information was originally harvested from [http://gsdemonologist.tripod.com/index.html Hakwea's Demonologist Handbook].''<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#99ff99|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 2 |[[Grik'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 4 |[[Lorae'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 3 |[[Shien'tyr (rune)]]<br /> |- align=center bgcolor=#cccccc <br /> !width=100|Ability<br /> ![[Grik]]<br /> ![[Imp]]<br /> ![[Abyran]]<br /> ![[Grantris]]<br /> ![[Igaesha]]<br /> ![[Verlok]]<br /> ![[Aishan]]<br /> ![[Shien]]<br /> ![[Arashan]]<br /> |- align=center<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|[[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|Hold Mana]]<br /> |Yes<br /> |Yes <br /> |Yes<br /> |&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;

instructs the demon to move manually<br /> <br /> Demons [[Minor Summoning (725)#Carry &amp; Release|carrying an eye]] will cause each room description to be echoed to the user as if using the eye in the same manner.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Find a Character &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON FIND {character} }}instructs the demon to locate a particular character<br /> <br /> Sends the demon to the location of a target, and if found, will follow them. Subject to the skill of the summoner and demon, vs. difficulty of finding that character. [[Stalking and Hiding|Hidden]] and [[Invisibility (916)|invisible]] characters are more difficult to locate. Additionally, increased difficulty in finding targets will cause the demon to take longer at the task. Only targets in the same area can be targeted successfully.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Deliver a Message &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DELIVER {character} {message} }}instructs the demon to speak to another character on the caster's behalf<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER {demon} {message} }}is for other characters to reply to a demon's message<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER MIST {message} }}is used to communicate using shien's special message capability<br /> <br /> Applicable demons will convey a message to a person for you. The target of the message may then reply, but there is wait time before the demon can deliver additional messages. The [[shien]] possess a unique method of delivery, which allows messages to be relayed in real time, without pause. This requires the summoner's room to be [[Light (205)|dark]]. Only targets in the same area can have messages delivered to them.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carry &amp; Release &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CARRY}} instructs the demon to pick up and carry an eye<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON RELEASE}} instructs the demon to release the eye into the room<br /> <br /> [[Eye Spy (707)]] can be used in conjunction with a demon in order to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. While the demon is holding the eye, only basic things can be seen. However, the eye can be released and grasped again without restriction. While independent, the eye maintains its full range of sight. Be cautious not to leave the eye stranded, as there is no command to send the demon directly to an eye. The eye is considered an item, thus the demon cannot carry it if already holding its [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|maximum capacity]]. This function is also very useful to easily cast mass [[Evil Eye (717)]].<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carrying Items &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GET {item} }}instructs the demon to pick up an object<br /> * {{mono|GIVE {demon} }}gives the demon the object you are holding in the caster's right hand<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {caster} }}demon will give an item it is currently carrying to the caster<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DROP {item} }}instructs the demon to drop an item it is carrying<br /> <br /> Certain demons ([[aishan]] &amp; [[igaesha]]) will accept more items given to them by their master directly, rather than picking them up. &quot;Get&quot; in the table refers to the number of items a demon will pick up and carry on its own (i.e. remotely). &quot;Hold if Given&quot; is the amount of items the demon can accept if handed to them by their summoner. Demons can hold a maximum of items equivalent to their &quot;Hold if Given&quot; value. Carrying an [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] counts as one item.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Holding Coins &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|[[GIVE]] {demon} {#} }}will give silver coins to the demon <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {#} }}instructs the demon to give the caster the coins it is carrying<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Coins&quot; + &quot;Coins per Rank&quot; determines the maximum amount of silver coins applicable demons may carry. For example, an [[imp]] (500 base) summoned by a sorcerer with 20 ranks (40 additional per rank) of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill could hold 1300 coins total (500 + [20*40] = 1300). Demons will not return coins automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Mana Sharing &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|SEND {#} {demon} }}sends mana to the demon<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SEND {#} }}instructs the demon to send mana to the caster<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Mana&quot; + &quot;Additional Mana&quot; determines the total amount of [[mana]] each demon can hold. 'Bonus' in this situation refers to the numerical bonus corresponding to the number of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill ranks (use the [[SKILLS (verb)|SKILLS]] command to view). For example, an [[igaesha]] (base mana of 12) summoned by a sorcerer with 50 ranks of demonology (skill bonus of 150) would be able to store a maximum of 27 mana (12 + [150/10] = 27). Demons which hold more mana are also more efficient at transferring it. Demons will not return mana automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> [[Channeling crystal]]s made via [[alchemy]] can be used by both demon and master to transfer more mana between the two.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Guard &amp; Cease &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GUARD}} instructs the demon to guard the caster from pickpockets<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CEASE}} instructs the demon to ceases guarding<br /> <br /> If the demon is in its summoner's room, they can be instructed to help notice characters attempting to [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]] their master. Each demon, depending upon their body type, will have a particular &quot;Attack Type&quot; they retaliate with automatically if either the master or demon is successful in noticing the thief. The attacks of certain demons will inflict a &quot;flare type&quot; (i.e. disease, lightning, etc.) upon the victim, in addition to the initial damage.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Scout &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SCOUT}} instructs the demon to scout the surrounding area for characters, creatures, and other minor demons<br /> <br /> The demon will leave the immediate room for a short period of time, and return shortly afterwards to inform its master of the presence of all [[character]]s, [[creature]]s, and [[minor demon]]s. Some areas do not work with this command, including the [[Sorcerer Guild]]s.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Eat &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON EAT {object} }}instructs the demon to consume an object<br /> <br /> Demons can be instructed to eat a variety of items within their reach. This can be used as disposal for various articles of trash, if a proper trash can is not available. Certain demons are particular about what they eat, though the [[igaesha]] will eat just about anything.<br /> <br /> Telling a demon to eat something will blow away its illusion.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Interfere &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON INTERFERE}} instructs the demon to prevent the establishment of a sanctuary<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON BREAK}} instructs the demon to attempt to disrupt an existing sanctuary (abyran'sa and imp ''only'' )<br /> <br /> Through its demonic powers, a demon can interfere with the creation of [[Minor Sanctuary (213)|sanctuaries]] or a [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. The success of this ability is based upon a comparison of the demonologist's [[Sorcerer Base]] and [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] ranks versus the sanctuary caster's [[Major Spiritual]] and [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|summoning]] ranks. Once instructed to interfere, a demon will continue to do so until told otherwise. Instructing a demon to interfere will always cause the [[illusion]] to fail, thus it is recommended to initiate this command prior to cloaking the demon. <br /> <br /> Only the [[Abyran#Mechanical Benefits and Flaws|abyran'sa]] is capable of breaking existing player-created sanctuaries. Telling an abyran'sa to do this takes 13 mana from the summoner, whether successful or not. The [[Imp]] is the lone archetype capable of breaking an active [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. <br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Control a web &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TO CONTROL}} [WEB] instructs an arashan to take control of a [[Web (118)|web]] for its owner.<br /> <br /> The arashan possesses a unique ability amongst demonkind; they are capable of taking control of the minor spirits that make up an area web summoned by the [[Web (118)]] spell. Controlling a web yields two major results: <br /> *the web is strengthened (gains an additional snare charge and the duration is refreshed)<br /> *the web comes under the control of the arashan's summoner. <br /> <br /> Controlling a web costs the caster 18 mana. Controlling a web is very taxing on the arashan, thus they may only do so once every five minutes.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Leave &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON LEAVE}} ends the spell duration, returning the demon to its origin<br /> <br /> The demon will drop the objects which it is carrying (not including silvers or mana), and return to its valence.<br /> {{top}}<br /> <br /> == Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell ==<br /> This list is now very incomplete with the [[Lord Vathon]] events of 2013 and 2014, and limited teachings at EG 2019 and 2020, as well as Duskruin 2022.<br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Sorcerers Knowing This Rune<br /> |-<br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc width=135|Grik'tyr-Grik<br /> |Angylisis, Malisai, Niderom, Nindon, Skylai, Solmarar, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Grik'tyr-Imp<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Evyrsio, Krolnivar, Malisai, Querthose, Rumpkin, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran<br /> |Krolnivar, Querthose, Ryynish, Stralan, Yactaevia<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'a<br /> |Moredin, Zurrain<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'sa<br /> |Allereli, Berkana, Cataclysmx, Dergoatean, Desorceri, Iaz, Isola, Kaldonis, Malisai, Missoni, Niderom, Querthose, Radamanthys, Silvean, Stralan, Vulterith <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Grantris<br /> |Desorceri, Drigore, Kaldonis, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Igaesha<br /> |Allereli, Darphin, Evyrsio, Kaldonis, Silvean, Ulthripe<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Verlok<br /> |Berkana, Delarock, Kaldonis, Krolnivar, Lahanna, Maetriks, Matthosa, Niderom, Querthose, Silvean <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Aishan<br /> |Delarock, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Jameszz, Maetriks, Mianne, Niderom, Querthose, Stralan, Suntzhu, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Shien<br /> |Allereli (Darkling), Desmonique, Drigore (Darkling), Kaldonis, Kilaya, Malisai, Matthosa, Mekthros, Missoni, Niderom (Darkling), Rontuu, Silvean (Shadowling)<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Arashan<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Drigore, Maetriks, Melikor, Silvean<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Resources ==<br /> * [[Minor demon messaging]]<br /> * [[Enchiridion Valentia]]<br /> * [[The Enchiridion Valentia]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[Introduction to the Enchiridion Valentia and Summoning]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[/saved posts|Saved posts]]<br /> * [[Commentary on Enchiridion Valentia - Lorae'Tyr]]<br /> * [[Rhythus Veranthe Faendryl]] (release storyline)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Demons]]<br /> [[category: Pet Spells]]</div>

[[Rune]]s are used as the focus for this magic, and more complex [[rune]]s can be used to target more specific [[Demon archetype|archetypes]] of [[minor demon]]s.<br /> <br /> Once summoned into this realm, these servants are capable of performing a myriad of [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|utility functions]] such as carrying the sorcerer's [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] which will allow them to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. Other highlights include carrying [[Minor Summoning (725)#Carrying Items|objects]], [[Minor Summoning (725)#Holding Coins|silvers]], and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|mana]], or [[Minor Summoning (725)#Find a Character|finding]] and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Deliver a Message|delivering messages to]] other characters, and even [[Minor Summoning (725)#Guard &amp; Cease|guarding]] their master's pockets from [[Pickpocketing|thieves]]. Demons summoned by this spell are ''not'' dangerous unless retaliating at a pickpocket, and otherwise cannot participate in the [[combat system]].<br /> <br /> === Usage ===<br /> * &lt;TT&gt;PREP 725|[[CAST]] {[[runestone]]}&lt;/tt&gt;, or &lt;tt&gt;PREP 725|SUMMON {DEMON}&lt;/tt&gt; to initiate. <br /> *To summon a specific demon, hyphenate the rune then the demon. SUMMON LORAE'TYR-IGAESHA, for example. You may also enter SUMMON by itself to display a list. Using {{mono|[[SUMMON]] {DEMON} }}will incur a 50% success rate penalty (see below).<br /> * The &lt;tt&gt;[[TELL (verb)|TELL MDEMON]]&lt;/tt&gt; command displays a full list of commands for the demon. Each [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|ability]] is also outlined within this article.<br /> <br /> === Demon Link &amp; Expiration ===<br /> <br /> Originally, demonologists used the link as a threat to keep the demon in line. Severing the link would strand the demon forever, unable to return home. This version of the magic is designed with safeguards against such an act, otherwise punishable by death. Thus the caster may [[Minor Summoning (725)#Leave|terminate the link]] at any time, returning the demon to its original plane. The link will be broken automatically if the caster dies or when the spell expires. Once having summoned, the caster may not summon again for five minutes due to the exertion caused by interplanar summoning. If the summoner fails a cast, they may not attempt again for ten full minutes.<br /> <br /> Two [[lesser demon]]s, the [[abyran'ra]] and the [[oculoth]] have the ability and motivation to break your control upon a [[minor demon]]. While the abyran'ra will only attempt to break your control over [[abyran|abyran'a]] and [[abyran|abyran'sa]] demons, the oculoth will attempt to break your control over any type of demon. However, it is not a guarantee that they will break it. The primary factor for fending off this attempt is Demonology ranks. If you lose, your connection to your demon will break, and you will be severely stunned. If you succeed, you are left unharmed, and the demon who attempted it will be stunned instead. The oculoth, given its nature as a more magically inclined demon, is more skilled at breaking the connection than an abyran'ra. In the case of a [[lithe black abyran'ra]] attempting to break a sorcerer's link with an [[abyran'sa]], it has been demonstrated that 200 Demonology ranks are required to successfully push back against the attempt with 100% certainty; it appears that [[Sorcerer Base]] ranks, [[Aura]], and [[Wisdom]] may also make secondary contributions to resisting the abyran'ra.<br /> <br /> '''The link is [[refreshable]] to the original duration by rubbing a [[vakra (rune)|vakra]] runestone.'''<br /> <br /> === Success Rate and Lore Benefits ===<br /> <br /> Summoning a demon '''with a runestone''' and '''within a summoning chamber''' will provide the following chances:<br /> <br /> *Valence runestones will have a 100% base chance<br /> *Demon runestones will have a 50% base chance<br /> *Archetype runestones will have a 25% base chance<br /> <br /> An attempt to summon without a runestone will incur a 50 percentage point penalty on the caster's chance to summon the demon. <br /> <br /> Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] will increase the chance for success by +1% per rank. Demonology Lore will also provide bonuses to the mana and silver capacities of applicable demons (see below).<br /> <br /> &lt;div {{prettydiv|margin-right=300px}}&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;b&gt;<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; = Base Chance + SL,D ranks<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/o runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 50<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 25<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/o runestone = Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 75<br /> <br /> Where Base Chance = 100% for valence runestones (V), 50% for demon runestones (D), and 25% for archetype runestones (A)<br /> &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}} align=&quot;left&quot;<br /> |+'''BASE PERCENT CHANCE TO SUMMON'''<br /> |+ &lt;small&gt;''V=Valence, D=Demon, A=Archetype''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! rowspan=&quot;3&quot;|Demon&lt;br&gt;Lore&lt;br&gt;Ranks||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Summoning Chamber||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Everywhere Else<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> !

Abyran'sa requires 100 ranks in Demonology to summon with a runestone in a summoning chamber with 100% success.''<br /> <br /> == Summoning Chambers ==<br /> <br /> [[Summoning chamber]]s are special areas which are sensitive to the piercing of the veil, increasing the ease with which sorcerers employ this magic. Casting within a chamber will provide a 25 percentage point bonus to success rate. Additionally, the extra 600 seconds will be applied when refreshing the duration in a chamber as well. <br /> <br /> All [[Sorcerer Guild]]s contain a summoning chamber. They are also located in some [[CHE]] structures.<br /> <br /> == Demons and the Law ==<br /> <br /> Due to tactics the [[Faendryl]] used during the [[Undead War]], the summoning and use of demons is widely shunned by most Elanthians. Demons are therefore subject to justice mechanics in all towns except [[Icemule Trace]], [[Mist Harbor]], and [[Wehnimer's Landing]] (since Feb. 2018). Special demon permits may be purchased in both [[Zul Logoth]] and [[Kharam Dzu]], but are otherwise considered illegal. The [[Sorcerer Guild]] teaches the [[Illusions]] [[guild skill|skill]] which can be used to cloak the demon's true image, allowing them to bypass the law as long as they remain obfuscated. Though demon illusions are permanent until dispelled, certain demons performing particular actions will cause the illusion to drop as well.

Subject to the skill of the summoner and demon, vs. difficulty of finding that character. [[Stalking and Hiding|Hidden]] and [[Invisibility (916)|invisible]] characters are more difficult to locate. Additionally, increased difficulty in finding targets will cause the demon to take longer at the task. Only targets in the same area can be targeted successfully.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Deliver a Message &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DELIVER {character} {message} }}instructs the demon to speak to another character on the caster's behalf<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER {demon} {message} }}is for other characters to reply to a demon's message<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER MIST {message} }}is used to communicate using shien's special message capability<br /> <br /> Applicable demons will convey a message to a person for you. The target of the message may then reply, but there is wait time before the demon can deliver additional messages. The [[shien]] possess a unique method of delivery, which allows messages to be relayed in real time, without pause. This requires the summoner's room to be [[Light (205)|dark]]. Only targets in the same area can have messages delivered to them.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carry &amp; Release &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CARRY}} instructs the demon to pick up and carry an eye<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON RELEASE}} instructs the demon to release the eye into the room<br /> <br /> [[Eye Spy (707)]] can be used in conjunction with a demon in order to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. While the demon is holding the eye, only basic things can be seen. However, the eye can be released and grasped again without restriction. While independent, the eye maintains its full range of sight. Be cautious not to leave the eye stranded, as there is no command to send the demon directly to an eye. The eye is considered an item, thus the demon cannot carry it if already holding its [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|maximum capacity]]. This function is also very useful to easily cast mass [[Evil Eye (717)]].<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carrying Items &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GET {item} }}instructs the demon to pick up an object<br /> * {{mono|GIVE {demon} }}gives the demon the object you are holding in the caster's right hand<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {caster} }}demon will give an item it is currently carrying to the caster<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DROP {item} }}instructs the demon to drop an item it is carrying<br /> <br /> Certain demons ([[aishan]] &amp; [[igaesha]]) will accept more items given to them by their master directly, rather than picking them up. &quot;Get&quot; in the table refers to the number of items a demon will pick up and carry on its own (i.e. remotely). &quot;Hold if Given&quot; is the amount of items the demon can accept if handed to them by their summoner. Demons can hold a maximum of items equivalent to their &quot;Hold if Given&quot; value. Carrying an [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] counts as one item.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Holding Coins &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|[[GIVE]] {demon} {#} }}will give silver coins to the demon <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {#} }}instructs the demon to give the caster the coins it is carrying<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Coins&quot; + &quot;Coins per Rank&quot; determines the maximum amount of silver coins applicable demons may carry. For example, an [[imp]] (500 base) summoned by a sorcerer with 20 ranks (40 additional per rank) of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill could hold 1300 coins total (500 + [20*40] = 1300). Demons will not return coins automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Mana Sharing &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|SEND {#} {demon} }}sends mana to the demon<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SEND {#} }}instructs the demon to send mana to the caster<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Mana&quot; + &quot;Additional Mana&quot; determines the total amount of [[mana]] each demon can hold. 'Bonus' in this situation refers to the numerical bonus corresponding to the number of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill ranks (use the [[SKILLS (verb)|SKILLS]] command to view). For example, an [[igaesha]] (base mana of 12) summoned by a sorcerer with 50 ranks of demonology (skill bonus of 150) would be able to store a maximum of 27 mana (12 + [150/10] = 27). Demons which hold more mana are also more efficient at transferring it. Demons will not return mana automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> [[Channeling crystal]]s made via [[alchemy]] can be used by both demon and master to transfer more mana between the two.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Guard &amp; Cease &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GUARD}} instructs the demon to guard the caster from pickpockets<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CEASE}} instructs the demon to ceases guarding<br /> <br /> If the demon is in its summoner's room, they can be instructed to help notice characters attempting to [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]] their master. Each demon, depending upon their body type, will have a particular &quot;Attack Type&quot; they retaliate with automatically if either the master or demon is successful in noticing the thief. The attacks of certain demons will inflict a &quot;flare type&quot; (i.e. disease, lightning, etc.) upon the victim, in addition to the initial damage.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Scout &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SCOUT}} instructs the demon to scout the surrounding area for characters, creatures, and other minor demons<br /> <br /> The demon will leave the immediate room for a short period of time, and return shortly afterwards to inform its master of the presence of all [[character]]s, [[creature]]s, and [[minor demon]]s. Some areas do not work with this command, including the [[Sorcerer Guild]]s.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Eat &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON EAT {object} }}instructs the demon to consume an object<br /> <br /> Demons can be instructed to eat a variety of items within their reach. This can be used as disposal for various articles of trash, if a proper trash can is not available. Certain demons are particular about what they eat, though the [[igaesha]] will eat just about anything.<br /> <br /> Telling a demon to eat something will blow away its illusion.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Interfere &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON INTERFERE}} instructs the demon to prevent the establishment of a sanctuary<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON BREAK}} instructs the demon to attempt to disrupt an existing sanctuary (abyran'sa and imp ''only'' )<br /> <br /> Through its demonic powers, a demon can interfere with the creation of [[Minor Sanctuary (213)|sanctuaries]] or a [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. The success of this ability is based upon a comparison of the demonologist's [[Sorcerer Base]] and [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] ranks versus the sanctuary caster's [[Major Spiritual]] and [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|summoning]] ranks. Once instructed to interfere, a demon will continue to do so until told otherwise. Instructing a demon to interfere will always cause the [[illusion]] to fail, thus it is recommended to initiate this command prior to cloaking the demon. <br /> <br /> Only the [[Abyran#Mechanical Benefits and Flaws|abyran'sa]] is capable of breaking existing player-created sanctuaries. Telling an abyran'sa to do this takes 13 mana from the summoner, whether successful or not. The [[Imp]] is the lone archetype capable of breaking an active [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. <br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Control a web &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TO CONTROL}} [WEB] instructs an arashan to take control of a [[Web (118)|web]] for its owner.<br /> <br /> The arashan possesses a unique ability amongst demonkind; they are capable of taking control of the minor spirits that make up an area web summoned by the [[Web (118)]] spell. Controlling a web yields two major results: <br /> *the web is strengthened (gains an additional snare charge and the duration is refreshed)<br /> *the web comes under the control of the arashan's summoner. <br /> <br /> Controlling a web costs the caster 18 mana. Controlling a web is very taxing on the arashan, thus they may only do so once every five minutes.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Leave &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON LEAVE}} ends the spell duration, returning the demon to its origin<br /> <br /> The demon will drop the objects which it is carrying (not including silvers or mana), and return to its valence.<br /> {{top}}<br /> <br /> == Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell ==<br /> This list is now very incomplete with the [[Lord Vathon]] events of 2013 and 2014, and limited teachings at EG 2019 and 2020, as well as Duskruin 2022.<br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Sorcerers Knowing This Rune<br /> |-<br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc width=135|Grik'tyr-Grik<br /> |Angylisis, Malisai, Niderom, Nindon, Skylai, Solmarar, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Grik'tyr-Imp<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Evyrsio, Krolnivar, Malisai, Querthose, Rumpkin, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran<br /> |Krolnivar, Querthose, Ryynish, Stralan, Yactaevia<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'a<br /> |Moredin, Zurrain<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'sa<br /> |Allereli, Berkana, Cataclysmx, Dergoatean, Desorceri, Iaz, Isola, Kaldonis, Malisai, Missoni, Niderom, Querthose, Radamanthys, Silvean, Stralan, Vulterith <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Grantris<br /> |Desorceri, Drigore, Kaldonis, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Igaesha<br /> |Allereli, Darphin, Evyrsio, Kaldonis, Silvean, Ulthripe<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Verlok<br /> |Berkana, Delarock, Kaldonis, Krolnivar, Lahanna, Maetriks, Matthosa, Niderom, Querthose, Silvean <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Aishan<br /> |Delarock, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Jameszz, Maetriks, Mianne, Niderom, Querthose, Stralan, Suntzhu, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Shien<br /> |Allereli (Darkling), Desmonique, Drigore (Darkling), Kaldonis, Kilaya, Malisai, Matthosa, Mekthros, Missoni, Niderom (Darkling), Rontuu, Silvean (Shadowling)<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Arashan<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Drigore, Maetriks, Silvean<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Resources ==<br /> * [[Minor demon messaging]]<br /> * [[Enchiridion Valentia]]<br /> * [[The Enchiridion Valentia]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[Introduction to the Enchiridion Valentia and Summoning]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[/saved posts|Saved posts]]<br /> * [[Commentary on Enchiridion Valentia - Lorae'Tyr]]<br /> * [[Rhythus Veranthe Faendryl]] (release storyline)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Demons]]<br /> [[category: Pet Spells]]</div>

[[Rune]]s are used as the focus for this magic, and more complex [[rune]]s can be used to target more specific [[Demon archetype|archetypes]] of [[minor demon]]s.<br /> <br /> Once summoned into this realm, these servants are capable of performing a myriad of [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|utility functions]] such as carrying the sorcerer's [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] which will allow them to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. Other highlights include carrying [[Minor Summoning (725)#Carrying Items|objects]], [[Minor Summoning (725)#Holding Coins|silvers]], and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|mana]], or [[Minor Summoning (725)#Find a Character|finding]] and [[Minor Summoning (725)#Deliver a Message|delivering messages to]] other characters, and even [[Minor Summoning (725)#Guard &amp; Cease|guarding]] their master's pockets from [[Pickpocketing|thieves]]. Demons summoned by this spell are ''not'' dangerous unless retaliating at a pickpocket, and otherwise cannot participate in the [[combat system]].<br /> <br /> === Usage ===<br /> * &lt;TT&gt;PREP 725|[[CAST]] {[[runestone]]}&lt;/tt&gt;, or &lt;tt&gt;PREP 725|SUMMON {DEMON}&lt;/tt&gt; to initiate. <br /> *To summon a specific demon, hyphenate the rune then the demon. SUMMON LORAE'TYR-IGAESHA, for example. You may also enter SUMMON by itself to display a list. Using {{mono|[[SUMMON]] {DEMON} }}will incur a 50% success rate penalty (see below).<br /> * The &lt;tt&gt;[[TELL (verb)|TELL MDEMON]]&lt;/tt&gt; command displays a full list of commands for the demon. Each [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|ability]] is also outlined within this article.<br /> <br /> === Demon Link &amp; Expiration ===<br /> <br /> Originally, demonologists used the link as a threat to keep the demon in line. Severing the link would strand the demon forever, unable to return home. This version of the magic is designed with safeguards against such an act, otherwise punishable by death. Thus the caster may [[Minor Summoning (725)#Leave|terminate the link]] at any time, returning the demon to its original plane. The link will be broken automatically if the caster dies or when the spell expires. Once having summoned, the caster may not summon again for five minutes due to the exertion caused by interplanar summoning. If the summoner fails a cast, they may not attempt again for ten full minutes.<br /> <br /> Two [[lesser demon]]s, the [[abyran'ra]] and the [[oculoth]] have the ability and motivation to break your control upon a [[minor demon]]. While the abyran'ra will only attempt to break your control over [[abyran|abyran'a]] and [[abyran|abyran'sa]] demons, the oculoth will attempt to break your control over any type of demon. However, it is not a guarantee that they will break it. The primary factor for fending off this attempt is Demonology ranks. If you lose, your connection to your demon will break, and you will be severely stunned. If you succeed, you are left unharmed, and the demon who attempted it will be stunned instead. The oculoth, given its nature as a more magically inclined demon, is more skilled at breaking the connection than an abyran'ra. In the case of a [[lithe black abyran'ra]] attempting to break a sorcerer's link with an [[abyran'sa]], it has been demonstrated that 200 Demonology ranks are required to successfully push back against the attempt with 100% certainty; it appears that [[Sorcerer Base]] ranks, [[Aura]], and [[Wisdom]] may also make secondary contributions to resisting the abyran'ra.<br /> <br /> '''The link is [[refreshable]] to the original duration by rubbing a [[vakra (rune)|vakra]] runestone.'''<br /> <br /> === Success Rate and Lore Benefits ===<br /> <br /> Summoning a demon '''with a runestone''' and '''within a summoning chamber''' will provide the following chances:<br /> <br /> *Valence runestones will have a 100% base chance<br /> *Demon runestones will have a 50% base chance<br /> *Archetype runestones will have a 25% base chance<br /> <br /> An attempt to summon without a runestone will incur a 50 percentage point penalty on the caster's chance to summon the demon. <br /> <br /> Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] will increase the chance for success by +1% per rank. Demonology Lore will also provide bonuses to the mana and silver capacities of applicable demons (see below).<br /> <br /> &lt;div {{prettydiv|margin-right=300px}}&gt;&lt;tt&gt;&lt;b&gt;<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; = Base Chance + SL,D ranks<br /> *Base % chance to summon in chamber, w/o runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 50<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/ runestone&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;= Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 25<br /> *Base % chance to summon outside chamber, w/o runestone = Base Chance + SL,D ranks - 75<br /> <br /> Where Base Chance = 100% for valence runestones (V), 50% for demon runestones (D), and 25% for archetype runestones (A)<br /> &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}} align=&quot;left&quot;<br /> |+'''BASE PERCENT CHANCE TO SUMMON'''<br /> |+ &lt;small&gt;''V=Valence, D=Demon, A=Archetype''&lt;/small&gt;<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! rowspan=&quot;3&quot;|Demon&lt;br&gt;Lore&lt;br&gt;Ranks||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Summoning Chamber||colspan=&quot;6&quot;|Everywhere Else<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> ! colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/ Runestone||colspan=&quot;3&quot;|w/o Runestone<br /> |-align=&quot;center&quot; bgcolor=#cccccc<br /> !

Abyran'sa requires 100 ranks in Demonology to summon with a runestone in a summoning chamber with 100% success.''<br /> <br /> == Summoning Chambers ==<br /> <br /> [[Summoning chamber]]s are special areas which are sensitive to the piercing of the veil, increasing the ease with which sorcerers employ this magic. Casting within a chamber will provide a 25 percentage point bonus to success rate. Additionally, the extra 600 seconds will be applied when refreshing the duration in a chamber as well. <br /> <br /> All [[Sorcerer Guild]]s contain a summoning chamber. They are also located in some [[CHE]] structures.<br /> <br /> == Demons and the Law ==<br /> <br /> Due to tactics the [[Faendryl]] used during the [[Undead War]], the summoning and use of demons is widely shunned by most Elanthians. Demons are therefore subject to justice mechanics in all towns except [[Icemule Trace]], [[Mist Harbor]], and [[Wehnimer's Landing]] (since Feb. 2018). Special demon permits may be purchased in both [[Zul Logoth]] and [[Kharam Dzu]], but are otherwise considered illegal. The [[Sorcerer Guild]] teaches the [[Illusions]] [[guild skill|skill]] which can be used to cloak the demon's true image, allowing them to bypass the law as long as they remain obfuscated. Though demon illusions are permanent until dispelled, certain demons performing particular actions will cause the illusion to drop as well. A demon will automatically remain outside of town unless told to follow into town.<br /> <br /> Demons may still roam free in areas outside of the Justice System. Use [[JUSTICE (verb)|JUSTICE STATUS]] to determine whether an area is within jurisdiction.<br /> <br /> A sorcerer can command an undisguised demon to automatically enter or not enter a town with the MDEMON command.<br /> <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN ON}} instructs the demon to enter towns even if if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TOWN OFF}} instructs the demon to not enter towns if it is not disguised by an illusion.<br /> <br /> == Minor Demon Abilities ==<br /> <br /> ''This information was originally harvested from [http://gsdemonologist.tripod.com/index.html Hakwea's Demonologist Handbook].''<br /> <br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#99ff99|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 2 |[[Grik'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 4 |[[Lorae'tyr (rune)]]<br /> !bgcolor=#99ffff colspan = 3 |[[Shien'tyr (rune)]]<br /> |- align=center bgcolor=#cccccc <br /> !width=100|Ability<br /> ![[Grik]]<br /> ![[Imp]]<br /> ![[Abyran]]<br /> ![[Grantris]]<br /> ![[Igaesha]]<br /> ![[Verlok]]<br /> ![[Aishan]]<br /> ![[Shien]]<br /> ![[Arashan]]<br /> |- align=center<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|[[Minor Summoning (725)#Mana Sharing|Hold Mana]]<br /> |Yes<br /> |Yes <br /> |Yes<br /> |&lt;span style=&quot;color:red&quot;&gt;

Subject to the skill of the summoner and demon, vs. difficulty of finding that character. [[Stalking and Hiding|Hidden]] and [[Invisibility (916)|invisible]] characters are more difficult to locate. Additionally, increased difficulty in finding targets will cause the demon to take longer at the task. Only targets in the same area can be targeted successfully.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Deliver a Message &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DELIVER {character} {message} }}instructs the demon to speak to another character on the caster's behalf<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER {demon} {message} }}is for other characters to reply to a demon's message<br /> * {{mono|WHISPER MIST {message} }}is used to communicate using shien's special message capability<br /> <br /> Applicable demons will convey a message to a person for you. The target of the message may then reply, but there is wait time before the demon can deliver additional messages. The [[shien]] possess a unique method of delivery, which allows messages to be relayed in real time, without pause. This requires the summoner's room to be [[Light (205)|dark]]. Only targets in the same area can have messages delivered to them.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carry &amp; Release &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CARRY}} instructs the demon to pick up and carry an eye<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON RELEASE}} instructs the demon to release the eye into the room<br /> <br /> [[Eye Spy (707)]] can be used in conjunction with a demon in order to [[LOOK (verb)|see]] remotely. While the demon is holding the eye, only basic things can be seen. However, the eye can be released and grasped again without restriction. While independent, the eye maintains its full range of sight. Be cautious not to leave the eye stranded, as there is no command to send the demon directly to an eye. The eye is considered an item, thus the demon cannot carry it if already holding its [[Minor Summoning (725)#Minor Demon Abilities|maximum capacity]]. This function is also very useful to easily cast mass [[Evil Eye (717)]].<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Carrying Items &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GET {item} }}instructs the demon to pick up an object<br /> * {{mono|GIVE {demon} }}gives the demon the object you are holding in the caster's right hand<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {caster} }}demon will give an item it is currently carrying to the caster<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON DROP {item} }}instructs the demon to drop an item it is carrying<br /> <br /> Certain demons ([[aishan]] &amp; [[igaesha]]) will accept more items given to them by their master directly, rather than picking them up. &quot;Get&quot; in the table refers to the number of items a demon will pick up and carry on its own (i.e. remotely). &quot;Hold if Given&quot; is the amount of items the demon can accept if handed to them by their summoner. Demons can hold a maximum of items equivalent to their &quot;Hold if Given&quot; value. Carrying an [[Eye Spy (707)|eye]] counts as one item.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Holding Coins &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|[[GIVE]] {demon} {#} }}will give silver coins to the demon <br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GIVE {#} }}instructs the demon to give the caster the coins it is carrying<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Coins&quot; + &quot;Coins per Rank&quot; determines the maximum amount of silver coins applicable demons may carry. For example, an [[imp]] (500 base) summoned by a sorcerer with 20 ranks (40 additional per rank) of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill could hold 1300 coins total (500 + [20*40] = 1300). Demons will not return coins automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Mana Sharing &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|SEND {#} {demon} }}sends mana to the demon<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SEND {#} }}instructs the demon to send mana to the caster<br /> <br /> &quot;Base Mana&quot; + &quot;Additional Mana&quot; determines the total amount of [[mana]] each demon can hold. 'Bonus' in this situation refers to the numerical bonus corresponding to the number of [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] skill ranks (use the [[SKILLS (verb)|SKILLS]] command to view). For example, an [[igaesha]] (base mana of 12) summoned by a sorcerer with 50 ranks of demonology (skill bonus of 150) would be able to store a maximum of 27 mana (12 + [150/10] = 27). Demons which hold more mana are also more efficient at transferring it. Demons will not return mana automatically upon being returned to their dimension.<br /> <br /> [[Channeling crystal]]s made via [[alchemy]] can be used by both demon and master to transfer more mana between the two.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Guard &amp; Cease &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON GUARD}} instructs the demon to guard the caster from pickpockets<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON CEASE}} instructs the demon to ceases guarding<br /> <br /> If the demon is in its summoner's room, they can be instructed to help notice characters attempting to [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]] their master. Each demon, depending upon their body type, will have a particular &quot;Attack Type&quot; they retaliate with automatically if either the master or demon is successful in noticing the thief. The attacks of certain demons will inflict a &quot;flare type&quot; (i.e. disease, lightning, etc.) upon the victim, in addition to the initial damage.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Scout &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON SCOUT}} instructs the demon to scout the surrounding area for characters, creatures, and other minor demons<br /> <br /> The demon will leave the immediate room for a short period of time, and return shortly afterwards to inform its master of the presence of all [[character]]s, [[creature]]s, and [[minor demon]]s. Some areas do not work with this command, including the [[Sorcerer Guild]]s.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Eat &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON EAT {object} }}instructs the demon to consume an object<br /> <br /> Demons can be instructed to eat a variety of items within their reach. This can be used as disposal for various articles of trash, if a proper trash can is not available. Certain demons are particular about what they eat, though the [[igaesha]] will eat just about anything.<br /> <br /> Telling a demon to eat something will blow away its illusion.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Interfere &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON INTERFERE}} instructs the demon to prevent the establishment of a sanctuary<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON BREAK}} instructs the demon to attempt to disrupt an existing sanctuary (abyran'sa and imp ''only'' )<br /> <br /> Through its demonic powers, a demon can interfere with the creation of [[Minor Sanctuary (213)|sanctuaries]] or a [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. The success of this ability is based upon a comparison of the demonologist's [[Sorcerer Base]] and [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology|demonology]] ranks versus the sanctuary caster's [[Major Spiritual]] and [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning|summoning]] ranks. Once instructed to interfere, a demon will continue to do so until told otherwise. Instructing a demon to interfere will always cause the [[illusion]] to fail, thus it is recommended to initiate this command prior to cloaking the demon. <br /> <br /> Only the [[Abyran#Mechanical Benefits and Flaws|abyran'sa]] is capable of breaking existing player-created sanctuaries. Telling an abyran'sa to do this takes 13 mana from the summoner, whether successful or not. The [[Imp]] is the lone archetype capable of breaking an active [[Song of Peace (1011)]]. <br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Control a web &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON TO CONTROL}} [WEB] instructs an arashan to take control of a [[Web (118)|web]] for its owner.<br /> <br /> The arashan possesses a unique ability amongst demonkind; they are capable of taking control of the minor spirits that make up an area web summoned by the [[Web (118)]] spell. Controlling a web yields two major results: <br /> *the web is strengthened (gains an additional snare charge and the duration is refreshed)<br /> *the web comes under the control of the arashan's summoner. <br /> <br /> Controlling a web costs the caster 18 mana. Controlling a web is very taxing on the arashan, thus they may only do so once every five minutes.<br /> <br /> ;&lt;big&gt;Leave &lt;/big&gt;<br /> * {{mono|TELL MDEMON LEAVE}} ends the spell duration, returning the demon to its origin<br /> <br /> The demon will drop the objects which it is carrying (not including silvers or mana), and return to its valence.<br /> {{top}}<br /> <br /> == Uncommon Runes Used with this Spell ==<br /> This list is now very incomplete with the [[Lord Vathon]] events of 2013 and 2014, and limited teachings at EG 2019 and 2020, as well as Duskruin 2022.<br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- align=center <br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Runes<br /> !bgcolor=#cccccc|Sorcerers Knowing This Rune<br /> |-<br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc width=135|Grik'tyr-Grik<br /> |Angylisis, Malisai, Niderom, Nindon, Solmarar, Skylai<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Grik'tyr-Imp<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Evyrsio, Krolnivar, Malisai, Querthose, Rumpkin, <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran<br /> |Krolnivar, Querthose, Ryynish, Stralan, Yactaevia<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'a<br /> |Moredin, Zurrain<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Abyran'sa<br /> |Allereli, Berkana, Cataclysmx, Dergoatean, Desorceri, Iaz, Isola, Kaldonis, Malisai, Missoni, Niderom, Querthose, Radamanthys, Silvean, Stralan, Vulterith <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Grantris<br /> |Desorceri, Drigore, Kaldonis, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Igaesha<br /> |Allereli, Darphin, Evyrsio, Kaldonis, Silvean, Ulthripe<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Lorae'tyr-Verlok<br /> |Berkana, Delarock, Kaldonis, Krolnivar, Lahanna, Maetriks, Matthosa, Niderom, Querthose, Silvean <br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Aishan<br /> |Delarock, Desorceri, Drigore, Dyreknor, Jameszz, Maetriks, Mianne, Niderom, Querthose, Stralan, Suntzhu, Venrath<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Shien<br /> |Allereli (Darkling), Desmonique, Drigore (Darkling), Kaldonis, Kilaya, Malisai, Matthosa, Mekthros, Missoni, Niderom (Darkling), Rontuu, Silvean (Shadowling)<br /> |- <br /> |bgcolor=#cccccc|Shien'tyr-Arashan<br /> |Allereli, Desorceri, Drigore, Maetriks, Silvean<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == Resources ==<br /> * [[Minor demon messaging]]<br /> * [[Enchiridion Valentia]]<br /> * [[The Enchiridion Valentia]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[Introduction to the Enchiridion Valentia and Summoning]] (official documentation)<br /> * [[/saved posts|Saved posts]]<br /> * [[Commentary on Enchiridion Valentia - Lorae'Tyr]]<br /> * [[Rhythus Veranthe Faendryl]] (release storyline)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Demons]]<br /> [[category: Pet Spells]]</div>
