==Introduction==

Trapcrafting allows characters to make their own traps. Any [[class]] build can be a trapcrafter.
There are two trapcrafting systems in Avlis. The [[Trap_System|original system]] was developed by [[PCs:Deider|Deider]] in 2006 and then improved by Croton in 2009.
This page refers to a newer system added in 2021 which adds Trapcrafting to the [[Crafting_System|Avlis Crafting System]] (ACS).

==Getting Started==

To become a trapcrafter you need to acquire a Trapcrafting Kit. There are a few merchants in Negaria who will sell you this kit. You can do several things with the kit:
* If you use the kit and target a spot on the ground it will spawn a trapcrafting station (a small bag which represents the kit). You will use this station to make traps. If you use the kit and target another spot on the ground while you already have a station out the original station will be destroyed and a new one will spawn where you targeted it. When a trapcrafting station is destroyed anything inside it is spilled onto the ground.
* If you use the kit on a stack of arrows, bolts, darts or shuriken it will prime that item, allowing it to be used as a component in the creation of projectile traps.
* If you use the kit on your PC you will get a temporary [[nwn:Craft Trap|Craft Trap]] synergy bonus to set traps (see below for details).

Note: The Trapcrafting Kit is '''not''' a [[nwn:Plot|Plot]] item.

The trapcrafting station is a placeable which can hold inventory. It can be destroyed in two ways:
* targeting it with your Trapcrafting Kit
* through physical attacks and spells
Destroying the station always dumps its contents on the ground.

One difference between Trapcrafting and other ACS tradeskills is its portability. For other tradeskills such as Blacksmithing and Tailoring you must go to one of the many crafting stations available throughout the servers. With Trapcrafting you can make traps anywhere.

==Trapcrafting Experience and Progression==

As a part of ACS, Trapcrafting provides both tradeskill and character XP. Trapcrafting XP has a level progression the same as [[NWN:Level_progression | character levels]].
The XP granted by the [[Trap_System|original system]] is different from the XP granted by the ACS version of Trapcrafting.

==Differences Between the Original System and the ACS System==

Both the original trapcrafting system and the new ACS system share the advantage of portability and both allow you to create the same [[nwn:Trap|standard traps]] which are found in Neverwinter Nights but there are several differences between the systems.

Advantages of the original custom system:
* Custom traps (Blinding Light, Darkness, Thorny Tangle, Thunder & Lightning) can be made with different qualities based on the Craft Trap ranks of the crafter. Bonuses to set, detect and disarm the trap are tied to the skill of the trap crafter.
* Custom traps can be set without breaking stealth.
* Custom traps have various other [[Trap_System#Other_features|features]].

Advantages of the newer ACS system:
* Can craft more than one trap at a time.
* Crafting grants tradeskill and character XP.
* Bonuses to set, detect and disarm all traps are tied to the Craft Traps skill of the trap setter.
* The recipe list has been expanded to include new traps (see below).
* All traps are NWN traps. Player Tool 5 is not needed to set or recover traps. All traps set by the PC will have a green trigger.

==Traps==

The list of traps which can be crafted via ACS is as follows. Items in '''blue''' are custom traps.

Detect DC: this is the DC of the [[nwn:Search|Search]] check needed for someone to detect the trap. The trap setter's [[nwn:Set Trap|Set Trap]] skill is added to this DC.

Disarm DC: this is the DC of the [[nwn:Disarm Trap|Disarm Trap]] check needed for someone to disarm the trap. The trap setter's Set Trap skill is added to this DC.

==Additional Notes on Custom Traps==

'''Blinding Light, Darkness, Thorny Tangle, and Thunder & Lightning Traps''' have slightly different effects than the versions crafted in the original custom system.

* '''Blinding Light Traps''' require anyone in the area of effect to make an additional reflex save at the same DC as the fortitude save for blindness. If the reflex save is failed the target is forced out of stealth mode. Also, all targets within the area of effect receive a [[nwn:Hide|Hide]] penalty equal to half the trap's save DC. The duration of this penalty is twice the blindness duration. There is no save for the Hide penalty.

* '''Darkness Traps''' force anyone entering within a certain radius when the trap is triggered to make a will saving throw. If they fail they begin to cough; this drops them out of stealth and gives them a -20 [[nwn:Move silently|Move Silently]] penalty for the same duration as the darkness.

* '''Thorny Tangle Traps''', when set by a [[ranger]], grant an [[nwn:Entangle|Entangle]] effect automatically to any targets who fail the reflex save. Rangers also get a duration increase of a number of rounds equal to their ranger levels divided by four, rounded down. The damage from this trap is increased when set by an assassin; the increase is equal to the trap setter's assassin levels.

* '''Thunder & Lightning Traps''' have multiple effects in addition to electrical and sonic damage. Anyone in the trap's area of effect who fails a will save (the DC is the same as the reflex save for electrical damage) is stunned for a number of rounds corresponding to the trap's strength (1 round for minor, up to 5 rounds for epic). If the trap is set by an [[assassin]] or a [[bard]] then anyone in the area of effect must make a [[nwn:Discpline|Discpline]] check against the trap's DC; those who fail are knocked down for the same number of rounds as the stunning effect. The DCs for this trap are also increased by one for every five assassin levels and every five bard levels the trap setter has. The increases are calculated separately (not for combined assassin and bard levels) and are rounded down.

'''Spike, Acid Splash and Frost Traps''' inflict increased damage when set by an assassin. The damage increase is equal to the trap setter's assassin levels.

'''Fire Traps''' have an increased area of effect when set by assassins. The radius of the area of effect is increased by a number of percentage points equal to the trap setter's assassin levels.

'''Electrical and Acid Blob Traps''' have higher save DCs when set by an assassin. The DC increase is equal to the trap setter's assassin levels.

'''Tangle Traps''' have increased effect duration when set by a ranger. The duration increase in rounds in equal to the trap setter's ranger levels divided by four, rounded down.

'''Gas Traps''' release a cloud of poison gas that persists for two rounds. Anyone entering the cloud must save vs. poison or take ability damage. Note that the poisons are different from the ones in standard NWN.

'''Sonic Traps''' have increased DCs and duration when set by a bard or assassin. The DC increase is one for every five assassin levels and every five bard levels the trap setter has. The duration increase is a number of rounds equal to one for every ten assassin levels and every ten bard levels. The increases are calculated separately (not for combined assassin and bard levels) and are rounded down.

'''Holy Traps''' set by good-aligned holy warriors have a chance to turn nearby undead when triggered. The strength of the turning and the amount of undead turned depends on the trap setter's holy warrior levels.

'''Negative Traps''' will heal undead creatures who trigger them.

'''Projectile Traps''' (Arrow, Bolt, Dart, Shuriken) fire a stack of projectiles. Arrow traps fire at multiple targets while the other projectile traps fire at only a single target. A single attack roll is rolled against the target's AC. (There is no reflex save like with some other traps.) The stronger the trap the higher its base attack bonus ([[nwn:Base attack bonus|BAB]]) and the more powerful the damage is able to bypass damage resistance. Projectile traps require ammunition or thrown weapons to be crafted. For these items to be able to be used to craft a trap they first must be primed. To prime an item use the Trapcrafting Kit on it; the power level of the item will determine what strength of trap it can be used to make.

'''Magical Traps''' damage a single target with magical energy. The reflex save DC to avoid the trap is increased by one for every four ranks of [[nwn:Spellcraft|Spellcraft]] possessed by the trap setter. Ranks from items and effects are included in this calculation.

'''Spell Traps''' must be primed with a spell to be used. After setting the trap someone near the trigger must cast a spell onto a Spell Trap Priming Device. Only hostile and summon spells can be used. Epic spells cannot be used. The spellcaster does not need to be the PC who set the trap. Once a spell trap is primed it cannot be primed again with a different spell unless the trap is recovered.

==Synergy with the Craft Trap Skill==

None of the tradeskills in ACS use any of the Bioware crafting skills ([[nwn:Craft Weapon|Craft Weapon]], [[nwn:Craft Armor|Craft Armor]], Craft Trap) or feats ([[nwn:Brew Potion|Brew Potion]], [[nwn:Scribe Scroll|Scribe Scroll]], [[nwn:Craft Wand|Craft Wand]]) which were introduced in the [[nwn:Hordes of the Underdark|Hordes of the Underdark]] expansion. This holds true for the ACS version of trapcrafting. Ranks in Craft Trap do not increase your chance of successfully crafting a trap. However, ranks in the Craft Trap skill do offer other synergy bonuses:
* If you use the Trapcrafting Kit on yourself you gain a temporary bonus to Set Trap for five rounds. This bonus is equal to your Craft Trap ranks divided by five (rounded down). Bonus ranks from items are counted in this calculation.
* The detect DC of any trap you set is increased by one for every five ranks in Craft Trap, rounded down. Bonus ranks from items are counted in this calculation. (This does not include the custom traps which must be dropped to be set.)
* The disarm DC of any trap you set is increased by one for every five ranks in Craft Trap, rounded down. Bonus ranks from items are counted in this calculation. (This does not include the custom traps which must be dropped to be set.)

Ghostie: Corrected typo in character name

''By [[PCs:Jenny Thistlethrush|Jenny Thistlethrush]] (Aloro)''

In Praise of Swords

I don't like a stub of a mace or a club - 
You won't knock me down with that pitiful nub. 
It's hard not to smirk when a man pulls a dirk 
(A weapon too tiny to properly work), 
 
And likewise I'll laugh if you whip out a staff 
To give me a thumping - that's too big by half! 
All these are ignored, for they leave me quite bored - 
There's nothing as good for the job as a sword. 
 
A swordsman, you'll find, has the presence of mind 
To do you quite well from in front or behind. 
To parry and thrust, well, a sword is a must - 
For this other weapons are no more than dust. 
 
A sword that's concealed, when its length is revealed, 
Will weaken my knees like naught else you can wield. 
When my time to die in the future draws nigh, 
I hope it's a sword that deals me my goodbye. 
 
So please feel no guilt for the blood that you've spilt... 
Just bury it all the way up to the hilt, 
Thrust in and pull out, till there's no room for doubt, 
And finish me off as you finish the bout.

Ghostie: /* The Second Appearance of the Gentleman */

The being most commonly known as The Gentleman was originally named In-Nabbah Ser. He was one of Negaria's original nature spirits. When the tanar'ri slaughtered the nature spirits during the [[The_Age_of_the_Gods|Age of the Gods]] In-Nabbah Ser fled to a demiplane which he referred as The Hole. He was trapped in The Hole but it corrupted and strengthened him. Over the millennia various people learned of his existence and summoned him from The Hole in the hopes of binding him to their will. These attempts invariably failed, and In-Nabbah Ser would possess his would-be summoner and wreak havok upon the land until banished back into The Hole. Every time he would take on characteristics of the creature he possessed; he was twice known as the Woargschadeugh, [[dwergan]] for "the wrath shadow." In modern times he appeared thrice as The Gentleman, named so for his extreme politeness.

===The First Appearance of the Gentleman===
*(09/10/03) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=20335 The infamous "Gentleman" is first sighted in M'Chek.] He attacks travellers seemingly at random.
*(11/15/03) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=22043 The Church of Dagath learns how to cleanse a crypt], thus making it useless to The Gentlemen for recruitment of his undead minions.
*(01/12/04) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=24743 The Gentleman is defeated.] A portal to "The Hole," the interdimensional prison which held him for so long is opened by a group of heroes, and he is cast into it and imprisoned there again. Among those heroes who had a hand in this are Emrys Y'Coeden, Ayren Milen, Master Jade, Lt. Jake Bentsen, Sarrena Sunflower, and Kered Rose. The [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?p=205771#205771 definitive account] is penned by Hargas Steelhead.

===The Second Appearance of the Gentleman===
*(07/14/04) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=34696 The Gentleman's minions are apparently at work again.] They attempt to slay Lord Derrington, and in response he holds a public meeting, giving information about his role in the destruction of the Gentleman.
*(09/11/04) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=38382 The Gentleman apparently returns to M'Chek.]
*(10/23/04) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=40911 The Gentleman is destroyed] for the second time. The work was of a joint coalition of the M'Chekian Army and the Order of Valok, consisting of: Gracie Dane, Dala Wennen, Sugriam Undlendenboam, Magnus Khan, Jared Evershield, Tyrus Stark, and Dao Grinner.

===The Third and Final Appearance of the Gentleman===
*(11/3/18-12/16/18) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=137369 The Gentleman returns] for a third time in 2259 AOD. He seemingly kills [[Dagath]] and steals his godly mantle. The adventurers of southern Negaria band against him and finally defeat him. Dagath is reborn and the [[Tyedu]]an [[spirit-god]]dess [[Ti'si'faan]], who aided in The Gentleman's defeat, becomes a lesser goddess.

Monk Signature Moves

2019-10-18T11:51:10Z

Ghostie: Fearsome stance - changed 3) to 2)

This Avlis System is still in development and subject to change

{{Systems}}
==Introduction==

Avlis is home to numerous [[Monk_Orders|monk orders]], many of whom practice their own style of martial arts. While styles often overlap and use similar or identical techniques, some orders develop moves or abilities unique to their martial arts systems. These "signature moves" are sometimes kept as closely-guarded secrets, but even secret techniques can be stolen or leaked for others to learn. Other orders are more open, and teach their signature moves to those who are willing and able to learn them.

This system allows characters with [[monk]] levels to train and gain access to additional abilities known as signature moves. The abilities are divided into separate schools.

==Getting Started==

The Signature Move System uses chat commands. There are only two commands:
* '''/sigmov xp:''' This will tell you how much Signature Move XP and how many Signature Move levels you have, as well as your monk's current school.
* '''/sigmov N:''' This will allow you to perform a Signature Move, where N is the number of the move. However, in order to perform a move you must first learn it.
* '''/sigmov switchschool X:''' This will allow you to switch schools, where X is the school number. (more on schools below)

==Learning a Move==

To learn a Signature Move, you first must find a book or scroll that contains instructions on how to perform the move. These books or scrolls can often be found at the monk order which developed the move. In other cases some searching may be involved; many monks wander the land, traveling from dojo to dojo, and some of them may happen to carry Signature Move books or scrolls.

Once a book or scroll has been acquired, you must study it in order to try and learn the move. Studying requires a Wisdom check; each Signature Move has its own learn DC. The Wisdom check is positively modified by the following:
* '''Effective Level:''' your PC's monk levels.
* '''Signature Move Level:''' the number of Signature Move levels your PC has in his current school. Signature Move level progression is the same as [[NWN:Level_progression | character levels]].
* '''Feats:''' the following feats each give a +3 modifier to the check - Weapon Focus Unarmed Strike, Weapon Specialization Unarmed Strike, Improve Critical Unarmed Strike, Epic Weapon Focus Unarmed Strike, and Epic Weapon Specialization Unarmed Strike.

If you beat the move's learn DC, the difference between your modified roll and the DC is the percentage that you learned the move. Every move will require that its book or scroll be studied multiple times before fully learning the move and becoming able to use it.

Example. Gram Jamjeans is a 20th level monk with a Wisdom of 20. He tries to learn his first Signature Move, Power Possum Parry. The learn DC for the move is 15. Gram rolls a 5 for his Wisdom check. With his 20 WIS his ability modifier is +5; adding this to his roll as well as his effective level of 20 (for his 20 monk level) his modified roll is 30. Gram also has both Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization in Unarmed Strike, further raising his roll to 36. This easily beats the DC of 15. He has made progress of 21% (36 - 15) towards learning Power Possum Parry. He will need to keep studying and training before he fully learns the move.

==Performing a Move==

As mentioned above, once learned a signature move is performed via chat command. However, there are some limitations on performing moves:
* You must have monk levels to perform a move.
* You can only perform a move if it belongs to your current school. (more on schools below)
* You cannot perform a signature move while wearing any kind of armor.
* You cannot perform a signature move with a shield equipped.
* Many signature moves have a duration. You cannot perform a signature move while another signature move is still in effect.
* Some signature moves require certain items to be equipped, such as gloves or specific weapon types such as kamas.

Also, all signature moves require the usage of one of four monk feats: [[NWN:Stunning Fist|Stunning Fist]], [[NWN:Wholeness of Body|Wholeness of Body]], [[NWN:Quivering Palm|Quivering Palm]], or [[NWN:Empty Body|Empty Body]]. If you do not have the required feat for a particular move, you will be unable to learn it. For example, a character with 10 monk levels will be unable to learn the move Dragon Uppercut, since that move requires a usage of Empty Body, a feat that can only acquired by having at least 18 monk levels. If you don't have any usages left of the required feat for a signature move, you won't be able to use that move until you rest.

There is no check to perform a move; as long as the conditions above are met, when a move is performed success is automatic. Every time you perform a signature move, you gain Signature Move XP.

==Schools and Signature Moves==

Signature Moves are categorized into different schools. There are currently four different schools:
* '''School of the Open Palm:''' focuses on defensive abilities
* '''School of the Closed Fist:''' focuses on offensive abilities and weapons usage
* '''School Mountain and Sea:''' combines a variety of different moves/abilities
* '''School of Meta Ki Manipulation:''' focuses on channeling ki for a variety of effects

You can only use signature moves that belong to the same school. Once you have chosen a school, you will learn Signature Move XP and gain Signature Move levels when performing moves in that school. This is important because moves increase in power relative to your Signature Move level.

'''Changing Schools:''' it is possible to change schools. To change schools, simply learn a move that belongs to a different school than your current one. However, when you change schools, your Signature Move XP is lost, and you must start over at Signature Move level 1.

You never forget a move that you have learned, but you can only use moves in your current school. If you change schools back to a school in which you had previously learned moves, then you will be able to use those moves again without relearning them, but whenever you change schools, even when changing back to an old one, you lose all Signature Move XP and must start over. You can also switch back to a school in which you have previously learned moves by typing "/sigmov switchschool X" where X is a number based on the school:
* School of the Open Palm: 1
* School of the Closed Fist: 2
* School Mountain and Sea: 3
* School of Meta Ki Manipulation: 4

Example: after successfully learning Power Possum Parry, Gram Jamjeans went on to learn other moves in its school, the School of the Open Palm. He gains 5,000 Signature Move XP, enough to reach 10th level, when he decides to try a different school. Gram learns Draining Palm and transfers to the School of the Closed Fist. He loses all of his Signature Move XP and is back at 1st level. After a week he has gained 1,000 Signature Move XP and reached 2nd level, but he realizes that this school is not for him. Gram decides to switch back to the School of the Open Palm. When he does so he is instantly able to use Power Possum Parry again, but his Signature Move XP is once more reset to 0, and he must once again start over at 1st level.

==Signature Move List==

Note: Many signature moves use your '''combined level''' to calculate duration, DCs, move strength, etc. Your combined level is the sum of your effective level (monk level) and your Signature Move level.

| '''Description:'''
Wax is, at least most of the time, a sturdily built woman of average height, with the bulky figure one gains from swinging around heavy objects. Blood red feathers make up her wings - the condition of which seem to have changed in recent weeks from tattered and scruffy to a somewhat reasonably kept appearance.

One of the first things you may notice about her - the crimson wings aside - is the vivid red, gravity-defying hairdo styled in a shape resembling a flame. Whilst it's almost always perfectly presented - unless she's just taken off her brighty coloured helm - she often reaches up to check that it is to her specifications, usually only moving one or two strands each time, twisting them between deft fingers.

Below her fabulous hair, she has clear, dark round eyes that often twinkle mischievously, a button nose, and blood red, smiling lips. If she's without sleeves, well defined biceps are circled with tattoos of dancing flame.

At her waist, no matter her outfit, one thing seems to remain constant - a masterfully crafted belt fashioned from dragonhide. This belt, and a flaming, disease-riddled whip coiled loosely at her side, both appeared shortly after the Ferrell Trade fair of 2257. Since that fair she's been spotted roaming the lands with all manner of weapons, notably a flaming great sword, a heavily-enchanted quarterstaff, and several types of exotic blades.

Her fighting style is constantly changing, evolving, often mimicking the styles of others she fights beside. In general, it involves a mixture of all out fighting, seemingly ignorant to her own defense, fighting in a flaming rage and using the excessive heat to destroy her foes, or disarming her opponents through hand and arm strikes. If all else fails, she leverages the enemy's weight against them in a knockdown attack, to then beat them senseless. Whether this is with sword, whip, scimitar or flail, what she uses and when seem to vary from moment to moment.

'''Personality:'''

Quick to laugh but just as quick to show her fiery temper when things aren't going her way, unpredictable might be a good way to describe this woman. That said, her general disposition when socialising is often cheery and outgoing, her other state - the smoldering anger - reserved mostly for the battlefield, or when she's having a really, really bad day.

When in conversation her attention is usually absorbed with the person or persons she's speaking to, often asking questions to get them to open up about themselves and their mindset. She seems very interested in finding motivations and the thought processes of others, whilst giving little away about her own.

That said, she glows at being the center of attention and seems to revel in it when given the opportunity, quick to show off either new combat moves, dance moves, or... well, really anything that's entertaining or showy.

'''Background'''

Little has been established about her origins. If asked, she might provide some information, but it's just as likely that she'll wave off the subject, finding something more topical to speak on.

'''Quirks'''

There are many odd things about this woman. It would seem that she has at least some interest (or knowledge) of magic and spell casting, often attempting to copy the spells - or at least the motions, if not the words - of those who cast around her. The mysterious movements she enacts tend to never produce the same result, and are never really a perfect copy of what she's observed, but neither is the outcome, so it all works out in the end.

Observed effects so far involve exfoliating glitter, changing colour, and general mind-and-body-altering weirdness.

'''Malekia''', the largest city on the continent dedicated to the forces of evil, sits on the southern branch of the [[Divalok River]].

From an outsider's perspective, the city streets are a tangled and twisted mess of dead end alleys with curious slots in the stone walls, and strange paths leading into courtyards surrounded by towers. For those familiar with the design, Malekia is a death trap for any invading army. Though the city walls are not strong, the layout of the urban anomaly is roughly in the form of concentric rings filled with twisted passages in between. The passages seem random, but they are actually designed to make an invading army become quickly lost and divided in the streets, where the defenders can use the towers and wall slots to murder them as they meander aimlessly.

The residents of Malekia are largely followers of [[Maleki]], though there are significant numbers that follow other gods like [[The Harpinger]], [[Evrak]], [[Wilsash]], [[Xenon]], [[Kelvos]], and [[Paragus]]. The second largest following in the city is that of [[The'ton]]. Each of these gods has at least one temple in the city, though there is no discernable temple district.

In fact, Malekia has no discernable districts at all, because of its nature.

One would imagine that such a city would be a playground for [[Rogue|Thieves]] guilds, and that the city would contain many of them. However, the term "thief" is rather moot in Malekia, and their "guilds" are basically just "the government". The "guild leaders" are technically nobles, and win their place by many means, usually by right of succession of family, or by combat. Each noble has his or her own police force that patrols certain sections of the city that are accepted to be under their faction's control. However, these areas, or turfs, change constantly.

Malekia does have laws, and oddly enough the laws make no race subject to another strictly on a racial basis, and they outlaw any kind of political coup or toppling of one noble by another. Of course, this does not preclude doing these things without getting caught. There are of course strict penalties for any noble found in an attempt to destroy another.

The population of Malekia is as diverse as any other of [[The Seven Cities]], though there are fewer goodly races and more of the less scrupulous kind present. Outside of Brekon, Malekia possesses the highest [[goblin]] and [[Giant-Kin|giantkin]] population of any other place in Negaria. [[Human|Humans]], [[Halfling|halflings]], and the occasional [[Dwarf|dwarves]] can be seen mucking about as well, with a healthy number of [[Orc|orcs]] present as immigrants from [[Dubunat]] which lies only a few miles to the south.

Malekia recognizes that it owes its existance to the confederation of The Seven Cities, and generally does not try to overtly control or disrupt the entity. Of course, many things happen behind the scenes, and there are always attempts to 'extend the confederations holdings into Dubunat', but the orcs of Dubunat take it in stride. In either case, Dubunat encroaches on the affairs of Malekia just as often because it sees the city as a jewel for the taking. Like all the other cities in the confederation, Malekia sends its emissaries to vote on council matters and supply troops to the pool of confederaton soldiers, but the emissaries themselves always change because of internal situations.

== Base language ==
The elves of Avlis were created by a god named [[Dru'El]]. In his mortal life, he was a human who got instructions from the elven god Corellon Larethian on how to make elves when he became a god.

Dru'El was fascinated by the spirit population that used to inhabit Avlis before the time of the gods. Unfortunately, most (almost all) of them were wiped out in the battle between the nine gods and the evil Negerai invader god which nearly destroyed Avlis in the beginning. The population of spirits was low to begin with because even before the major deities ascended to godhood, the Negerai had gated in hoards of Tanar'ri which began to EAT the spirits.

Still, Dru'El wanted the language of his elven people to be the same language that was once spoken by the benevolent nature spirits that inhabited the world. He made due with whatever fragments could be found and filled in the rest himself. Thus, the elven language on Avlis today is a derivative of the spirit language and therefore differs greatly from elven languages on other worlds such as Krynn or Toril or Middle Earth.

The word the spirits used to describe themselves as a whole was ''"Nanshae"'' (pronounced: non-SHAY). Later over time, the elves adopted this word to describe the elven species as a whole, but it was spelled Nanshi and pronounced ''"NON-shee"''. However, the elves in the Northern part of the country still use the old pronunciation of ''"non-SHAY"''.

Apostrope's in the Avlissian elven language are often used to denote the word "of", much like slang English will use o', as in "pile o' stuff". Except in elven it's proper usage. The Avlissian elven word for land is Tana (TA-na) and the early elven name for their nation was Tan' Nanshi, later shortened to T'Nanshi, or "Land of the Elves".

===Interesting note about Drangonari Elves:===

The drangonari elves were a creation by the god Angadar. When he ascended to godhood, he immediately got the lofty idea to create a race of his own, and taking the form of one of his enemies, an avariel (winged) elf, Angadar corrupted the form into the drangonari. They are almost identical to the avariel in stature and build, and they even once had leathery wings in place of the angelic wings of the avariel. Also in place of soft white skin they have dark green scales much like a lizard, and they always have black hair.

Through an unknown and disasterous series of events, 99.99% of all drangonari lost their wings, and the ones born today do not have them at all. Few remaining ones do, and they are considered to be direct descendants of Angadar himself, whom the drangonari all revere, even if they don't openly worship him.

Angadar was once a mortal elf born on Toril, which is the planet of the Forgotten Realms setting. The elven language which HE speaks IS the Forgotten Realms elven language, and that is the language which he taught to his creations.

So on Avlis, the old elven language that is seen in so many other campaign worlds is actually the spoken language of the drangonari! So, you may want to watch what language you speak in front of the Avlissian high elves!

<div align="justify">
====Single/Plural:====

If the word ends in a consonant, add "-en". If the word ends in a vowel, add "n".

===== Present Indicative tense =====
'''Singular verbs, remove the as ending and use the stem by itself:'''

:* I guard 'Eni shemar''

:* You guard ''Ta shemar''

:* He/She/It guards ''Loo/Lah/Loo shemar.''

'''Plural verbs, add -u to the stem:'''

:* We guard ''Nethnu shemaru''

:* You guard ''Tem shemaru''

:* They guard ''Loom shemaru''

===== Present Perfect tense: =====

In the present perfect tense, it is not necessary to use the pronoun. Thus, I guarded, "Eni shemarti", can be "shemarti". Accent is on the second syllable in this tense.

:* I guarded ''shemarti''

:* You guarded ''shemarta''

:* He guarded ''shemaroe''

:* She guarded ''shemarah''

:* We guarded ''shemarnu''

:* You guarded ''shemartem''

:* They guarded ''shemaroo''

===== Future imperfect: =====

:* I will guard ''Eni e'shemar''

:* You will guard ''Ta tee'shemar''

:* He/She/It will guard ''loo/lah/loo ye'shemar''

:* We will guard ''Nethnu ne'shemar''

:* You (pl) will guard ''Tem tee'shemaru''

:* They will guard ''Loom ye'shemaru''

===== Converting a verb to a noun: =====

Take the stem and add the 'ith' ending. ''(Some verbs like Sheras (to sing) do not follow this rule.)''

'''Examples:'''
:* ''taynas'' (to give) becomes '''taynith''' (giving)
:* ''tikvooas'' (to hope) becomes '''tikvooith''' (hope, or hoping)

There is no distinction in elven between the gerund (-ing ending) form of a verb turned into a noun and its non gerund form. Thus, hope and hoping are both tikvooith, and you must know the context of the sentence to figure out which is which.

===== The verb "to be". =====

The only irregular verb in the Avlissian elven tongue is the verb "to be". In elven, the verb "to be" is implied in the present tense.

:* I '''am''' good. ''Eni toova.''

:* You '''are''' good. ''Ta toova.''

:* He '''is''' good. ''Loo toova.''

:* She '''is''' good. ''Lah toova.''

:* We '''are''' good. ''Nethnu toova.''

:* You '''are''' good. ''Tem toova.''

:* They '''are''' good. ''Loom toova.''

==== Pronouns ====
'''1st Person:'''
:* I - ''Eni''
:* We - ''Nethnu''

'''2nd Person:'''
:* You - ''Ta''
:* You -''Tem''

'''3rd Person:'''

=====Indirect pronouns:=====

The elven language does not use the verb to have in the same way as most other languages. Instead of saying "I have", they are literally saying "There is to me".

'''You can make statements of possesion by adding the proper personal ending to the root "Yayn'", as below:'''

:* I have (literally: There is to me): Yayn'ni

:* You have (There is to you): Yayn'ta

:* He/It has (There is to him/it): Yayn'loe

:* She has (There is to her): Yayn'loah

:* We have (There is to us): Yayn'lenu

:* You have (pl) (There is to you): Yayn'tem

:* They have (There is to them): Yayn'loom

'''To make these negative, add the word no, "Li" in front of them.'''

:* I don't have Li Yayn'ni

:* You don't have Li Yayn'ta

:* He/it doesn't have Li Yayn'loe

:* She doesn't have Li Yayn'loah

:* We don't have Li Yayn'lenu

:* You don't have (pl) Li Yayn'tem

:* They don't have Li Yayn'loom

==== Misc Notes ====
:* The accent is always on the first sylable unless otherwise noted.
:* Adjectives come after the nouns: friendly stranger gartha havera
:* The preposition "from" is M', and it is used in much the same was as the word "the", Le'.

== Base language ==
The elves of Avlis were created by a god named [[Dru'El]]. In his mortal life, he was a human who got instructions from the elven god Corellon Larethian on how to make elves when he became a god.

Dru'El was fascinated by the spirit population that used to inhabit Avlis before the time of the gods. Unfortunately, most (almost all) of them were wiped out in the battle between the nine gods and the evil Negerai invader god which nearly destroyed Avlis in the beginning. The population of spirits was low to begin with because even before the major deities ascended to godhood, the Negerai had gated in hoards of Tanar'ri which began to EAT the spirits.

Still, Dru'El wanted the language of his elven people to be the same language that was once spoken by the benevolent nature spirits that inhabited the world. He made due with whatever fragments could be found and filled in the rest himself. Thus, the elven language on Avlis today is a derivative of the spirit language and therefore differs greatly from elven languages on other worlds such as Krynn or Toril or Middle Earth.

The word the spirits used to describe themselves as a whole was ''"Nanshae"'' (pronounced: non-SHAY). Later over time, the elves adopted this word to describe the elven species as a whole, but it was spelled Nanshi and pronounced ''"NON-shee"''. However, the elves in the Northern part of the country still use the old pronunciation of ''"non-SHAY"''.

Apostrope's in the Avlissian elven language are often used to denote the word "of", much like slang English will use o', as in "pile o' stuff". Except in elven it's proper usage. The Avlissian elven word for land is Tana (TA-na) and the early elven name for their nation was Tan' Nanshi, later shortened to T'Nanshi, or "Land of the Elves".

===Interesting note about Drangonari Elves:===

The drangonari elves were a creation by the god Angadar. When he ascended to godhood, he immediately got the lofty idea to create a race of his own, and taking the form of one of his enemies, an avariel (winged) elf, Angadar corrupted the form into the drangonari. They are almost identical to the avariel in stature and build, and they even once had leathery wings in place of the angelic wings of the avariel. Also in place of soft white skin they have dark green scales much like a lizard, and they always have black hair.

Through an unknown and disasterous series of events, 99.99% of all drangonari lost their wings, and the ones born today do not have them at all. Few remaining ones do, and they are considered to be direct descendants of Angadar himself, whom the drangonari all revere, even if they don't openly worship him.

Angadar was once a mortal elf born on Toril, which is the planet of the Forgotten Realms setting. The elven language which HE speaks IS the Forgotten Realms elven language, and that is the language which he taught to his creations.

So on Avlis, the old elven language that is seen in so many other campaign worlds is actually the spoken language of the drangonari! So, you may want to watch what language you speak in front of the Avlissian high elves!

|-

|}
<div align="justify">
====Single/Plural:====

If the word ends in a consonant, add "-en". If the word ends in a vowel, add "n".

===== Present Indicative tense =====
'''Singular verbs, remove the as ending and use the stem by itself:'''

:* I guard 'Eni shemar''

:* You guard ''Ta shemar''

:* He/She/It guards ''Loo/Lah/Loo shemar.''

'''Plural verbs, add -u to the stem:'''

:* We guard ''Nethnu shemaru''

:* You guard ''Tem shemaru''

:* They guard ''Loom shemaru''

===== Present Perfect tense: =====

In the present perfect tense, it is not necessary to use the pronoun. Thus, I guarded, "Eni shemarti", can be "shemarti". Accent is on the second syllable in this tense.

:* I guarded ''shemarti''

:* You guarded ''shemarta''

:* He guarded ''shemaroe''

:* She guarded ''shemarah''

:* We guarded ''shemarnu''

:* You guarded ''shemartem''

:* They guarded ''shemaroo''

===== Future imperfect: =====

:* I will guard ''Eni e'shemar''

:* You will guard ''Ta tee'shemar''

:* He/She/It will guard ''loo/lah/loo ye'shemar''

:* We will guard ''Nethnu ne'shemar''

:* You (pl) will guard ''Tem tee'shemaru''

:* They will guard ''Loom ye'shemaru''

===== Converting a verb to a noun: =====

Take the stem and add the 'ith' ending. ''(Some verbs like Sheras (to sing) do not follow this rule.)''

'''Examples:'''
:* ''taynas'' (to give) becomes '''taynith''' (giving)
:* ''tikvooas'' (to hope) becomes '''tikvooith''' (hope, or hoping)

There is no distinction in elven between the gerund (-ing ending) form of a verb turned into a noun and its non gerund form. Thus, hope and hoping are both tikvooith, and you must know the context of the sentence to figure out which is which.

===== The verb "to be". =====

The only irregular verb in the Avlissian elven tongue is the verb "to be". In elven, the verb "to be" is implied in the present tense.

:* I '''am''' good. ''Eni toova.''

:* You '''are''' good. ''Ta toova.''

:* He '''is''' good. ''Loo toova.''

:* She '''is''' good. ''Lah toova.''

:* We '''are''' good. ''Nethnu toova.''

:* You '''are''' good. ''Tem toova.''

:* They '''are''' good. ''Loom toova.''

==== Pronouns ====
'''1st Person:'''
:* I - ''Eni''
:* We - ''Nethnu''

'''2nd Person:'''
:* You - ''Ta''
:* You -''Tem''

'''3rd Person:'''
:* He/She - ''Loo/Lah''
:* They - Loom''

=====Indirect pronouns:=====

:* me ''ni''

:* you ''ta''

:* him ''loe''

:* her ''loah''

:* us ''lenu''

:* you (pl) ''tem''

:* them ''loom''

=====Indirect pronouns with prepositions:=====

:* from me ''M'ni''

:* from you ''M'ta''

:* from him ''M'loe''

:* from her ''M'loah''

:* from us ''M'lenu''

:* from you ''M'tem''

:* from them ''M'loom''

==== Showing possession: ====

The elven language does not use the verb to have in the same way as most other languages. Instead of saying "I have", they are literally saying "There is to me".

'''You can make statements of possesion by adding the proper personal ending to the root "Yayn'", as below:'''

:* I have (literally: There is to me): Yayn'ni

:* You have (There is to you): Yayn'ta

:* He/It has (There is to him/it): Yayn'loe

:* She has (There is to her): Yayn'loah

:* We have (There is to us): Yayn'lenu

:* You have (pl) (There is to you): Yayn'tem

:* They have (There is to them): Yayn'loom

'''To make these negative, add the word no, "Li" in front of them.'''

:* I don't have Li Yayn'ni

:* You don't have Li Yayn'ta

:* He/it doesn't have Li Yayn'loe

:* She doesn't have Li Yayn'loah

:* We don't have Li Yayn'lenu

:* You don't have (pl) Li Yayn'tem

:* They don't have Li Yayn'loom

==== Misc Notes ====
:* The accent is always on the first sylable unless otherwise noted.
:* Adjectives come after the nouns: friendly stranger gartha havera
:* The preposition "from" is M', and it is used in much the same was as the word "the", Le'.
