}}You see Lord Gungfer the Mauler.

He appears to be a Human from Riverwood.

He is tall. He appears to be very young. He has hooded grey eyes and fair skin. He has long, matted blue-black hair streaked with silver. He has an angular face and broad shoulders.

He is in good shape.

He is holding a rowan-handled veil iron spiked maul in his right hand.

He is wearing a hammered gold earring, a tree bark amulet, a pewter and golden topaz necklace, a crystal amulet, a dark oilcloth stalking cloak, a long-cut pink dreamstone pin, some deep black cotton gloves, a brass-bound rat hide badge, a jewel-affixed copper signet fob caught with mixed chains, a red-tasseled leather weapon harness slung over his shoulder, a mottled brown cloth backpack, a vultite spiked augmented breastplate, a delicate sterling silver bracelet, a buckskin belt, a silvery grey cloth sack, a belt pack, some sleek ecru trousers, a wiregrass anklet, and some mottled black leather boots.

<small>Born in Riverwood young gungfer's father operated a trading caravan that operated from Helt to Wehnimer's Landing. on Gungfer's 16th birthday his father agreed to take him along. The caravan was attacked by overwelming forces on the road from Soulhaven to the landing. His Father tossed him an old sledgehammer the caravan used for driving tent stakes and told him to run for the landing. For two Months Gungfer lived in Wehnimer's Landing but was very unhappy there. He sent letters home to his mother who replied that he should make his way to Ta'Vaalor to learn to be a great warrior. So Gungfer smuggled him self into a wagon heading for the Elven nations. Ounce he reached Ta'Vaalor he joined the order of Voln and trained hard with Mauls, Flails, and Greatswords. Soon he was inducted into the Warriors guild of Ta'Vaalor where he currently studies the art of Berserking, and warrior skills like bashing, tackling, disarming, various warrior tricks and warcries.</small>

Symbol of Transcendence

2025-12-05T23:59:34Z

OLDFART: Added information for completing task in Ta'Vallor

{{Order of Voln navigation}}
'''Step 12'''

The '''Symbol of Transcendence''', governed by Lady [[Lumnis]], is obtained at the twelfth step of the [[Order of Voln]]. This symbol will allow the player to step into the space between the corporeal and ethereal realms for 30 seconds. While in this state, players will take [[Hitpoint|damage]] as if they were a [[non-corporeal]] creature (i.e. [[critical]] wounds will be much harder to inflict upon them and [[combat maneuver]]s will be harder to land on them). When the symbol is activated, there is a 3 minute hard cooldown period where the symbol cannot be reactivated.

This symbol may also be invoked while the player is stunned, webbed, bound, or in [[RT]], in which case the cooldown period is 10 minutes. It is important to note that the use of this symbol '''does not''' remove the negative status effect. Additionally, when used during this 'emergency' situation, symbol activation must be {{boldmono|CONFIRM}}ed. This confirmation requirement can be preset with an on/off toggle (See {{boldmono|SYMBOL OF TRANSCENDENCE TOGGLE}} while in game to set the desired option).

The {{boldmono|SPELL ACTIVE}} command will display the remaining cooldown duration.

==Syntax==

:Symbol of transcendence (can be abbreviated) or
:Symbol of transcendence confirm (while stunned, webbed, bound or in RT)

==Messaging==
Symbol activation:

<div {{log}}>>sym of trans<br>
You step into the space between the corporeal and ethereal realms.</div>

Symbol activation while stunned, webbed, bound or in RT:

<div {{log}}>>sym of trans
You must CONFIRM that you wish to use the emergency feature of this symbol.<br>

[You may set your preference to automatically confirm emergency use of this symbol with the SYMBOL OF TRANSCENDENCE TOGGLE option.]<br>

>sym of trans confirm<br>
With difficulty, you manage to will yourself into the space between the corporeal and ethereal realms.</div>

Wearing off:

<div {{log}}>You feel yourself being pulled back fully into the corporeal realm.</div>

Cooldown ending:

<div {{log}}>You feel ready to challenge the grasp of the corporeal realm once more.</div>

==Favor Cost==
{{Spoiler}}

[[Favor]] cost is based on the member's level. See [[Favor#Symbol Use Favor Cost|Table]] for specific examples. It's relative cost is 6x [[Symbol of Protection]]. In other words, 1 use of Symbol of Transcendence uses the same favor as 6 activations of [[Symbol of Protection]].

===Favor Required to Obtain Symbol of Transcendence===

'''Formula: <tt>1100 + (( level<sup>2</sup> × 20 ) ÷ 3 )</tt>'''

Ex. level 10 member: <tt>1100 + ((10 × 10 × 20) ÷ 3) = 1766 favor</tt>

Ex. level 20 member: <tt>1100 + ((20 × 20 × 20) ÷ 3) = 3766 favor</tt>

===Monk's Teaching and Instruction Highlights===
*Lumnis is the wife of [[Koar]] and the patron of scholars and masters of thought. She is also known as The Wise.
*Lumnis taught a way to temporarily slip into the place between the corporeal and ethereal realms.

=== [[Wehnimer's Landing]] Task ===

*Search twice
*Wait for a question
*{{boldmono|Say Koar}} or {{boldmono|'Koar}}
*Return to the monk to receive your symbol (Lich ID 18201)

=== [[Ta'Vaalor]] Task ===

*Go to library in [[Ta'Illistim]]. Directions to library from the Sapphire Gate in Ta'Illistim: {{boldmono|N, N, GO PORTCULLIS, W, W, NE, NE, GO GATE, SW, W, NE, N, SW, SW, SW, SW, W, N, N, N, W, NW, N, N, N, NW, SW, W, W, GO COURTYARD, GO DOORS, GO ARCH}} (Lich ID 13233)
*{{boldmono|BOW BANNER}}, {{boldmono|LOOK BANNER}}
*You will be tasked to find the appropriate room to answer a question and {{boldmono|PRAY}}.
*Next, {{boldmono|GO DOOR}} to enter Hall of Being. Each door in the hallway leads to a room titled "Hall of ____", which corresponds to a question you will be asked.
**Example room task: A voice twinkles in your ear, "Of the great elven houses, both Ta'Ardenai and Ta'Illistim were ruled by these."
**Solution room: Hall of Queens (Lich ID 32697)
**A voice twinkles in your ear, "The animals that live and thrive among the forests and glades throughout Elanthia."

**Solution room: Hall of Magic (Lich ID 15673)
**A voice twinkles in your ear, "Of the elves, Sylvans live in homes of this nature."
**Solution room: Hall of Flora (Lich ID 32699)
