<br />
Avlis uses an altered version of [[Barbarian]] Rage, and also includes a series of custom Barbarian Rage types that characters can learn in-game.<br />
<br />
These changes are designed to make the ability more useful, and to give players a greater range of options to help customise their Barbarian PCs.<br />
<br />
==Changes to Standard Rage==<br />
On Avlis, standard Barbarian rage confers the following bonuses while active:<br />
<br />
;Barbarian Rage<br />
<br />
Rage Bonus = 2 + ( Barbarian Level / 10 )<br />
<br />
The Rage Bonus is added to: damage, [[NWN:AB|AB]], [[NWN:Will|Will]] and [[NWN:Fortitude|Fortitude]] [[NWN:save|saves]] (supersedes flat Will save bonus), [[NWN:Strength|Strength]] and [[NWN:Constitution|Constitution]] skills, [[NWN:Temporary hit point|temp HP]]/total [[NWN:character level|character level]]<br />
<br />
The Rage Bonus is subtracted from the PC's [[NWN:Armor class|AC]].<br />
<br />
The [[NWN:Concentration|Concentration]] and [[NWN:Discipline|Discipline]] skills take 3 * Rage Bonus increase.<br />
<br />
Duration is 18 + [[NWN:Constitution|CON]] Modifier + [[#Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS)|BRS]] Rager Level * 2 + Rage Bonus. Minimum rage duration is 1 min 48 sec, if you are an Elf with 6 CON.<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' The extra damage is counted as "Magical" damage by the engine, and as such will pass through [[NWN:Damage Resistance|Damage Resistance]]. Additionally, Rage can clear some negative physical status effects, such as Stat Drain.<br />
<br />
;Greater Rage<br />
<br />
Barbarian Rage supersedes the automatic feat Greater Rage.<br />
<br />
;Mighty Rage<br />
<br />
Adds +1 to the Rage Bonus from Barbarian Rage:<br />
<br />
Rage Bonus = 2 + ( Barbarian Level /10 ) + 1<br />
<br />
Mighty Rage is hooked in to the [[#Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS)|BRS]] system. Now it functions just like normal Barbarian Rage (with appropriately increased bonuses as per Barbarian Rage's Avlis implementation), at no penalty to [[NWN:Armor class|AC]].<br />
<br />
Once taken, all normal rages behave like Mighty Rages too.<br />
<br />
;Terrifying Rage<br />
<br />
DC on Terrifying Rage is 10 + 1/2 Barbarian Level + highest of [[NWN:Charisma|CHA]]/[[NWN:Constitution|CON]]/[[NWN:Strength|STR]] Modifiers + [[#Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS)|BRS]] Rager Level, in line with other class powers of this nature.<br />
<br />
==Barbarian Rage Specializations (BRS)==<br />
Avlis also has a series of custom rage types, which characters can learn in-game. Learning a custom Rage type replaces the effects of default Barbarian Rage with one of those listed below. <br />
<br />
To learn one of the custom rage types, Barbarians can buy or find the appropriate consumable items. One of these consumables should be used just before the barbarian enters rage. If a raging Barbarian kills an enemy by landing the final blow, they will earn rage experience (rage XP). This process has to be repeated until the barbarian has earned 1000 rage XP, after which, the custom rage will automatically be used whenever the Barbarian rages. <br />
<br />
The Barbarian continues to accrue rage xp every time they kill enemies while raging, as above. Enough rage XP will automatically cause their custom rage to "level up". All of the rage types are placed into "categories" equal to 1 + (rage level/3); the maximum category is 6. In addition rage duration increases by +1/5 rager levels (there is no rage level cap).<br />
<br />
Your current rage level and rage XP total can be checked at any time by typing ''/check brs'' into the chat window in-game. <br />
<br />
The available custom rage styles are explained below, along with the item that must be consumed to learn it (in brackets):<br />
<br />
;Wind (Dust of the Windwalker): Increased movement speed/increased attacks per round in exchange for penalties to damage and Constitution. Bonuses and negatives advance once per category. The rager gains +10% movement speed and a penalty of -1 damage/-2 Constitution per category.<br />
;Fire (Oil of the Flamedancer): Damage increase/damage shield in exchange for damage vulnerability. The rager gains a damage increase of 2x category fire damage, and a fire shield of 1d8 + 2x category damage, while suffering a penalty of 5% x category damage vulnerability to physical attack.<br />
;Water (Water of the Deep Well): Concealment in exchange for attack miss percentage. The rager gains 10% concealment and suffers a 5% miss chance per category. Up to 60% concealment/30% miss chance at category 6.<br />
;Earth (Stonewall's Brew): Damage immunity and temporary hitpoints in exchange for movement speed decrease and Dexterity penalty. The rager gains a 7% damage immunity to physical damage and suffers a 10% movement penalty and -2 Dexterity per category.<br />
;Blood (Vial of Anointed Blood): Vampiric regen on the weapon in exchange for taking damage every round. The rager gains 3x category vampiric regen on their equipped weapon in exchange for 2x category damage per round while raging.<br />
;Demonkin (Tanar'ri Essence): Rager gains Tanar'ri traits while raging. 1 + 6x category electrical resistance, 1 + 1.5x category fire, acid, cold resistance (rounds down), poison immunity. Rager suffers 15% divine damage vulnerability per category while raging.<br />

The binding of Ta'nari traits to the mortal soul makes the rager particularly vulnerable to the displeasure of the gods; rager suffers 15% divine damage vulnerability per category while raging.<br />

<hr />
<div>==Elementalist Overview==<br />
Elementalists rely upon mastery of a single element, eschewing the use of other elements in favor of a closer understanding of one. The most common are [[Pyromancer|pyromancers]] who venerate fire, but there are also known to be [[Aeromancer|aeromancers]], who study lightning and [[Cryomancer|cryomancers]] who focus upon the cold. Much of the theory of the field is explained in a paper available in the Academy of Mortal Magic, [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?f=234&t=111460 here]. In particular, recent developments in the field have allowed for small transmutative effects to be added to evocation and conjuration spells, allowing for very minor amounts of healing (6-8 at rank 1) and small damage shields (6-18) whenever a spell of the appropriate base element is cast.<br />
<br />
===Ranks===<br />
<br />
'''Rank 1''' - 1st - 3rd Level Spells, Automatic Energy Substitution (Fire for Pyromancers, Electricity for Aeromancers, Cold for Cryomancers), +1 DC and caster level (For [[Evocation]] and [[Conjuration]] spells), Spell Cap increased by a factor of 1.1 (Example: 10d6 spell becomes 11d6).<br />
<br />
'''Rank 2''' - 4th - 6th Level Spells, Automatic Energy Substitution, +2 DC and caster level (For [[Evocation]] and [[Conjuration]] spells), Spell Cap increased by a factor of 1.2 (Example: 10d6 fireball becomes 12d6).<br />
<br />
'''Rank 3''' - 7th - 9th Level Spells, Automatic Energy Substitution, +3 DC and caster level (For [[Evocation]] and [[Conjuration]] spells), Spell Cap increased by a factor of 1.3 (Example: 10d6 fireball becomes 13d6).<br />

==Personal Information==<br />
====Appearance====<br />
Sammuel is small of stature. His handsome features are highlighted by a quick smile and ready laugh. His hair and eyes are brown, though his irises are ringed in a silver that hints at an outsider ancestry, a likely explanation for his sorcerous talents. Despite self-deprecating claims to life as a layabout, Sammy is most often found in functional split-robes that show the wear and tear of adventure.<br><br />
<br />
====Personality====<br />
Sammuel's personality tends to outsize his stature. His boisterous laugh comes often. He possesses an effusive wit and a nimble tongue. A natural leader, Sammy invented the "Hup" (short for "hurry the fuck up") as a way to get adventurers moving.<br><br />
<br />
Despite hob-nobbing with the movers and shakers of southern Avlis, Sammy has done little politically to make his mark on [[Negaria]]. Nor does he seem to possess the drive to do so. He is unerringly devoted to the study of the arcane, though this rarely enters his conversations with non-mages. He is a patron of all new adventurers, which he views as a future investment.<br><br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
Sammuel's sorcery manifested early in his childhood, gaining him notice as a child prodigy. After mastering sorcery he began to study wizardry. This has made for a breadth, if not depth, of talent hitherto unmatched among his counterparts. He is first and foremost known as an evoker, with a flair for fireballs. Later he turned his research to raw magical evocation, culminating in the unique spell "Sammuel's Arcane Destruction," or as it is colloquially called, "BOOM!"<br />
<br />
==== History ====<br />
Sammuel grew up an urchin in the streets of Mikona. At the age of four he was adopted by the paladin Vian Valorian. From that point he was raised by Vian and three 'uncles.' These were the dwarves Harthgraepa and Feeb, and the elf Tri'as.<br />
<br />
Sammuel's sorcery manifested at a very early age due to the trauma of his early street life. Once adopted and properly cared for his ability quickly grew at a prodigious rate. It was remarkable for such a young age, and at times detrimental. The dwarves among his adoptive family bespoke their predicament loudest of all, often through singed beards.<br><br />
<br />
Sammuel proved impossible to keep out of adventure. Despite being tied up, locked down, scolded, or threatened concerning the dangers of such, he followed his uncles on all of their forays. He learned quickly, and proved to have a natural talent for the evoker's methods of negotiation.<br><br />
<br />
== Present Day ==<br />
It is well known that he keeps residence in a tower in the City Gates District of Mikona, is a patron of the arts as well as rookie adventurers, and that he has built the finest bar in the city ([[Mikona's Finest Playhouse]]). <br><br />

Sammuel is small of stature. He possesses fine, handsome features, a quick smile, and a ready laugh. A tan complexion and healthy aura speak of much time outdoors.

His research into evocations culminated in the spell "Sammuel's Arcane Destruction," or as it is colloquially called, "BOOM!"<br />
<br />
==== History ====<br />
Sammuel grew up an orphan in the streets of Mikona. At the age of four he was adopted by the paladin Vian Valorian. From that point he was raised by Vian and an adventuring band of 'uncles;' the dwarves Harthgraepa and Feeb, and the elf Tri'as. Once properly cared for and fed, Sammuel's arcane ability quickly grew. They proved especially burgeoning for such a young age, and at times detrimental. The dwarves among his adoptive family bespoke their predicament loudest of all, often through singed beards.<br><br />

<div>==Wild Mage Overview==<br />
The Wild Mage taps into the inherent instability of magic, standing on the knife's edge between the greatest possible power and an uncontrollable surge of magic. As such they trade the stability of their spells in exchange for the ability to boost their spells significantly above normal in effectiveness.<br />
<br />
===Ranks===<br />
1 - Caster Level & Damage Dice Bonus: -2 ~ +3 (-3 +1d6), Damage Bonus Cap: -10% ~ 15% (Caster Level Bonus * 5%), 15% Chance of Harmful Wild Surge <br />
<br />
2 - Caster Level & Damage Dice Bonus: -3 ~ +6 (-4 + 1d10), Damage Bonus Cap: -15% ~ 30% (Caster Level Bonus * 5%), DC Range -1 ~ +1 (-3 + 2d2), 10% Chance of Harmful Wild Surge <br />
<br />
3 - Caster Level & Damage Dice Bonus: -4 ~ +15(-5 + 1d20), Damage Bonus Cap: -20% ~ 75% (Caster Level Bonus * 5%), DC Range -2 ~ +3 (-3 + 1d6), 5% Chance of Wild Surge<br />
<br />
<br />
Example computation of caster level and damage: A level 20 mage with AMS Rank 3 casts a fireball. Depending on the Caster Level Bonus roll, their caster level will range from 16 (20 - 4) to 35 (20 + 15). The damage dice of the fireball will range from 6d6 (10d6 - 4 dice) to 25d6 (10d6 + 15 dice), HOWEVER, damage is capped at a minumum of 8d6 (10d6 - 20%) and maximum of 18d6 (10d6 + 75%). Note that the computation is rounded UP to the nearest whole die.<br />
<br />
A spell that has normally 20 damage dice can get up to the full Damage Dice Bonus of +15 (20 * 75% = 15).<br />

<br />
Example computation of caster level and damage: A level 20 mage with AMS Rank 3 casts a fireball. Depending on the Caster Level Bonus roll, their caster level will range from 16 [20 - 4] to 35 [20 + 15]. The damage dice of the fireball will range from 6d6 [10d6 - 4 dice] to 25d6 [10d6 + 15 dice], HOWEVER, damage is capped at a minumum of 8d6 (10d6 - 20%) and maximum of 18d6 (10d6 + 75%). Note that the computation is rounded UP to the nearest whole die.<br />
<br />
A spell that has normally 20 damage dice can get up to the full Damage Dice Bonus of +15 (20 * 75% = 15).<br />

<div>==Wild Mage Overview==<br />
The Wild Mage taps into the inherent instability of magic, standing on the knife's edge between the greatest possible power and an uncontrollable surge of magic. As such they trade the stability of their spells in exchange for the ability to boost their spells significantly above normal in effectiveness.<br />
<br />
===Ranks===<br />
1 - Caster Level & Damage Dice Bonus: -2 ~ +3 (-3 +1d6), 15% Chance of Harmful Wild Surge <br />
<br />
2 - Caster Level & Damage Dice Bonus: -3 ~ +6 (-4 + 1d10), DC Range -1 ~ +1 (-3 + 2d2), 10% Chance of Harmful Wild Surge <br />
<br />
3 - Caster Level & Damage Dice Bonus: -4 ~ +15(-5 + 1d20), DC Range -2 ~ +3 (-3 + 1d6), 5% Chance of Wild Surge<br />
<br />
Example computation of caster level and damage: A level 20 mage with AMS Rank 3 casts a fireball. Depending on the Caster Level Bonus roll, their caster level will range from 16 [20 - 4] to 35 [20 + 15]. The damage dice of the fireball will range from 6d6 [10d6 - 4 dice] to 25d6 [10d6 + 15 dice], HOWEVER, bonus damage is capped at Caster Level Bonus x 5%, so the total damage of the fireball will range from a minimum of 8d6 [10d6 base damage*(100% - 4 CLS * 5%)] to a maximum of 18d6 [10d6 base damage*(100% + 15 CLS * 5%)]. So on Damage Dice Bonus rolls 9-15, the damage dice are actually capped at 8.<br />

As such they trade the stability of their spells in exchange for the ability to boost their spells significantly above normal in effectiveness.<br />
<br />
===Ranks===<br />
1 - Caster Level Swing: -2 ~ +3 (-3 +1d6), 15% Chance of Harmful Wild Surge <br />
<br />
2 - Caster Level Swing: -3 ~ +6 (-4 + 1d10), DC Range -1 ~ +1 (-3 + 2d2), 10% Chance of Harmful Wild Surge <br />
<br />
3 - Caster Level Swing: -4 ~ +15(-5 + 1d20), DC Range -2 ~ +3 (-3 + 1d6), 5% Chance of Wild Surge<br />
<br />
<br />
Wild Mages receive bonus damage dice to spells based on their caster level swing. The formula is Caster Level Swing x 5%, rounded up to the nearest whole die.<br />
<br />
Example computation of caster level and damage: A level 20 mage with AMS Rank 3 casts a fireball. Depending on the Caster Level Swing roll, their caster level will range from 16 [20 - 4] to 35 [20 + 15]. The total damage of the fireball will range from a minimum of 8d6 [10d6 base damage*(100% - 4 CLS * 5%)] to a maximum of 18d6 [10d6 base damage*(100% + 15 CLS * 5%)]. <br />

==Personal Information==<br />
====Appearance====<br />
Sammuel is small of stature. He possesses fine, handsome features, a quick smile, and a ready laugh. A tan complexion and healthy aura speak of much time outdoors. His hair and eyes are brown, though his irises are ringed in a silver that hints at an outsider ancestry, a likely explanation for his sorcerous talents. Despite self goaded rumors of a life as a layabout, Sammy is most often found in functional clothes that show the stains and marks of adventure.<br><br />
<br />
====Personality====<br />
Sammuel's personality tends to outsize his stature. His boisterous laugh is often heard. He possesses a sharp and effusive wit and a nimble tongue. Whether this is employed to the detriment or to the support of those around him changes by the moment.<br><br />
<br />
His outlook on life and much that it entails is by all appearances rather light. Indeed, despite hob-nobbing with the movers and shakers of southern Avlis, Sammy has done little politically to make his mark on Negaria. Nor does he seem to possess the drive to do so. He is unerringly devoted to the study of the arcane, though this rarely enters his conversations with non-mages.<br><br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
Sammuel's sorcery manifested early in his childhood, gaining him notice as a child prodigy. Since the maturation of his innate talent he began to approach the arcane path from a different vantage, that of wizardry. This has made for a breadth, if not depth, of talent hitherto unmatched among his counterparts. He is first and foremost known as an evoker, with an affinity to explosive flame.<br />
<br />
==== History ====<br />
Sammuel grew up an urchin in the streets of Mikona. At the age of four he was adopted by the paladin Vian Valorian after the young boy showed a sorcerous spark. From that point he was raised by Vian and an adventuring band of 'uncles;' the dwarves Harthgraepa and Feeb, and the elf Tri'as. Though always small for his age, once properly cared for and fed, Sammuel's arcane ability quickly blossomed. They proved especially burgeoning for such a young age, and at times detrimental. The dwarves among his adoptive family bespoke these detriments loudest of all, often through beards.<br><br />
<br />
Sammuel proved impossible to keep out of adventure. Despite being tied up, locked down, scolded, or threatened concerning the dangers of such, he followed his uncles on all of their adventures. This he did sometimes to their knowledge, sometimes not. He learned quickly, and proved to have a natural talent for the evoker's negotiation.<br><br />
<br />
== Present Day ==<br />
Despite a childhood full of promise, as an adult Sammuel has left no lasting mark on Avlis. Possessing a well earned and self proclaimed reputation as a layabout, he has taken no active part in politics, guild life, or religion. By popular account, he seems to be quite content to live a pampered existence paid for by his and his uncle's adventure-gained fortunes, which are rumored to be quite large. The veracity of this would be disputed by those who adventure with him.<br><br />
<br />
It is well known that he keeps residence in a tower in the City Gates District of Mikona, is a patron of the arts as well as rookie adventurers, and has built the finest bar in the city ([[Mikona's Finest Playhouse]]). <br><br />

<br />
"The annual Irreverence Awards is where the not so stellar or laudable among the players can win a prize. Some of us may never win Role Player of the Month, but we sure can misclick and heal monsters damnit! These are meant to be irreverent titles of pride! They are not and will not be politically correct. They are ours to give to our own with humour, malice, angst, and fuzzy feelings."- [http://www.avlis.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2773 tindertwiggy]<br />

==Personal Information==<br />
====Appearance====<br />
Sammuel is small of stature. He possesses fine, handsome features, a quick smile, and a ready laugh. A tan complexion and healthy aura speak of much time outdoors. His hair and eyes are brown, though his irises are ringed in a silver that hints at an outsider ancestry, a likely explanation for his sorcerous talents. Despite self goaded rumors of a life as a layabout, Sammy is most often found in functional clothes that show the stains and marks of adventure.<br><br />
<br />
====Personality====<br />
Sammuel's personality tends to outsize his stature. His boisterous laugh is often heard. He possesses a sharp and effusive wit and a nimble tongue. Whether this is employed to the detriment or to the support of those around him changes by the moment.<br><br />
<br />
His outlook on life and much that it entails is by all appearances rather light. Indeed, despite hob-nobbing with the movers and shakers of southern Avlis, Sammy has done little politically to make his mark on Negaria. Nor does he seem to possess the drive to do so. He is unerringly devoted to the study of the arcane, though this rarely enters his conversations with non-mages.<br><br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
Sammuel's sorcery manifested early in his childhood, gaining him notice as a child prodigy. Since the maturation of his innate talent he began to approach the arcane path from a different vantage, that of wizardry. This has made for a breadth, if not depth, of talent hitherto unmatched among his counterparts. He is first and foremost known as an evoker, with an affinity to explosive flame.<br />
<br />
==== History ====<br />
Sammuel grew up an urchin in the streets of Mikona. At the age of four he was adopted by the paladin Vian Valorian after the young boy showed a sorcerous spark. From that point he was raised by Vian and an adventuring band of 'uncles;' the dwarves Harthgraepa and Feeb, and the elf Tri'as. Though always small for his age, once properly cared for and fed, Sammuel's arcane ability quickly blossomed. They proved especially burgeoning for such a young age, and at times detrimental. Among dwarves among his adoptive family bespoke these detriments loudest of all, often through beards.<br><br />
<br />
Sammuel proved impossible to keep out of adventure. Despite being tied up, locked down, scolded, or threatened concerning the dangers of such, he followed his uncles on all of their adventures. This he did sometimes to their knowledge, sometimes not. He learned quickly, and proved to have a natural talent for the evoker's negotiation.<br><br />
<br />
== Present Day ==<br />
Despite a childhood full of promise, as an adult Sammuel has left no lasting mark on Avlis. Possessing a well earned and self proclaimed reputation as a layabout, he has taken no active part in politics, guild life, or religion. By popular account, he seems to be quite content to live a pampered existence paid for by his and his uncle's adventure-gained fortunes, which are rumored to be quite large. The veracity of this would be disputed by those who adventure with him.<br><br />
<br />
It is well known that he keeps residence in a tower in the City Gates District of Mikona, is a patron of the arts as well as rookie adventurers, and has built the finest bar in the city ([[Mikona's Finest Playhouse]]). <br><br />

==Personal Information==<br />
====Appearance====<br />
Sammuel is small of stature. He possesses fine, handsome features, a quick smile, and a ready laugh. A tan complexion and healthy aura speak of much time outdoors. His hair and eyes are brown, though his irises are ringed in a silver that hints at an outsider ancestry, a likely explanation for his sorcerous talents. Despite self goaded rumors of a life as a layabout, Sammy is most often found in functional clothes that show the stains and marks of adventure.<br><br />
<br />
====Personality====<br />
Sammuel's personality tends to outsize his stature. His boisterous laugh is often heard. He possesses a sharp and effusive wit and a nimble tongue. Whether this is employed to the detriment or to the support of those around him changes by the moment.<br><br />
<br />
His outlook on life and much that it entails is by all appearances rather light. Indeed, despite hob-nobbing with the movers and shakers of southern Avlis, Sammy has done little politically to make his mark on Negaria. Nor does he seem to possess the drive to do so. He is unerringly devoted to the study of the arcane, though this rarely enters his conversations with non-mages.<br><br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
Sammuel's sorcery manifested early in his childhood, gaining him notice as a child prodigy. Since the maturation of his innate talent he began to approach the arcane path from a different vantage, that of wizardry. This has made for a breadth, if not depth, of talent hitherto unmatched among his counterparts. He is first and foremost known as an evoker, with an affinity to explosive flame.<br />
<br />
==== History ====<br />
Sammuel grew up an urchin in the streets of Mikona. At the age of four he was adopted by the paladin Vian Valorian after the young boy showed a sorcerous spark. From that point he was raised by Vian and an adventuring band of 'uncles;' the dwarves Harthgraepa and Feeb, and the elf Tri'as. Though always small for his age, once properly cared for and fed, Sammuel's arcane ability quickly blossomed. They proved especially burgeoning for such a young age, and at times detrimental. Among dwarves among his adoptive family bespoke these detriments loudest of all, often through beards.<br><br />
<br />
Sammuel proved impossible to keep out of adventure. Despite being tied up, locked down, scolded, or threatened concerning the dangers of such, he followed his uncles on all of their adventures. This he did sometimes to their knowledge, sometimes not. He learned quickly, and proved to have a natural talent for the evoker's negotiation.<br><br />
<br />
== Present Day ==<br />
Despite a childhood full of promise, as an adult Sammuel has left no lasting mark on Avlis. Possessing a well earned and self proclaimed reputation as a layabout, he has taken no active part in politics, guild life, or religion. By popular account, he seems to be quite content to live a pampered existence paid for by his and his uncle's adventure-gained fortunes, which are rumored to be quite large. The veracity of this would be disputed by those who adventure with him.<br><br />
<br />
It is well known that he keeps residence in a tower in the City Gates District of Mikona, is a patron of the arts as well as rookie adventurers, and has built the finest bar in the city ([[Mikona's Finest Playhouse]]). <br><br />

==Personal Information==<br />
====Appearance====<br />
Sammuel is slightly built and small of stature. He possesses fine, handsome features, a quick smile, and a ready laugh. A tan complexion and healthy aura speak of much time outdoors. His hair and eyes are brown, though his irises are ringed in a silver that hints at an outsider ancestry, a likely explanation for his sorcerous talents. Despite rumors of a life as a rich layabout, Sammy is often found in functional clothes that show the stains and marks of adventure.<br><br />
<br />
====Personality====<br />
Sammuel's personality tends to outsize his stature. His laugh is boisterous, and is often heard. He possesses a sharp and effusive wit. Whether this is employed to the detriment or to the support of those around him changes by the moment.<br><br />
<br />
His outlook on life and much that it entails is by all appearances rather light. Indeed, despite hob-nobbing with the movers and shakers of southern Avlis and a childhood full of promise, Sammy has done little politically to make his mark on Negaria. Nor does he seem to possess the drive to do so. He is, though, unerringly devoted to the study of the arcane, thought this rarely enters his conversations with non-mages.<br><br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
Sammuel's sorcery manifested early in his childhood, gaining him notice as a childhood prodigy of the arcane. Since the maturation of his innate talent he has begun to approach the arcane path from a different vantage, that of wizardry. This has given him a breadth, if not depth, of talent hitherto unmatched among his counterparts. First and foremost he is known as an evoker, with an affinity to flame.<br />
<br />
==== History ====<br />
Sammuel grew up an urchin in the streets of Mikona. At the age of four he was adopted by the paladin Vian Valorian after the young boy showed a sorcerous spark. From that point he was raised by Vian and an adventuring band of 'uncles;' the dwarves Harthgraepa and Feeb, and the elf Tri'as. Though always small for his age, once adopted and properly cared for and fed, Sammuel's arcane ability quickly blossomed. His abilities, especially burgeoning for such a young age, were not without cost. Among his adoptive family the dwarves bespoke their detriments loudest of all through often-singed beards.<br><br />
<br />
Sammuel proved impossible to keep out of adventure. Despite being tied up, locked down, scolded, or threatened concerning the dangers of such, he followed his uncles on all of their adventures. This he did sometimes to their knowledge, sometimes not. He learned quickly, and proved to have a natural talent for the evoker's negotiation of dangerous situtations.<br><br />
<br />
== Present Day ==<br />
Despite a childhood full of promise, as an adult Sammuel has left no lasting mark on Avlis. Possessing a well earned and self proclaimed reputation as a layabout, he has taken no active part in politics, guild life, or religion. By popular account, he seems to be quite content to live a pampered existence paid for by his and his uncle's adventure-gained fortunes, which are rumored to be quite large. The veracity of this would be disputed by those who adventure with him.<br><br />
<br />
It is well known that he keeps residence in a tower in the City Gates District of Mikona, is a patron of the arts as well as rookie adventurers, and has built the finest bar in the city ([[Mikona's Finest Playhouse]]). <br><br />

<br />
====Abilities====<br />
Sammuel's sorcery manifested early in his childhood, gaining him notice as a childhood prodigy of the arcane. Since the maturation of his innate talent, he has begun to approach the arcane path from a different vantage, that of wizardry. This has given him a breadth, if not depth, of talent hitherto unmatched among his counterparts.<br />
<br />
==== History ====<br />
Sammuel grew up an urchin in the streets of Mikona. At the age of four he was adopted by the paladin Vian Valorian after the young boy showed a sorcerous spark. From that point he was raised by Vian and an adventuring band of 'uncles;' the dwarves Harthgraepa and Feeb, and the elf Tri'as. Though always small for his age, once adopted and properly cared for and fed, Sammuel's arcane ability quickly blossomed. His abilities, especially burgeoning for such a young age, were not without cost. Among his adoptive family the dwarves bespoke their detriments loudest of all through often-singed beards.<br><br />
<br />
Sammuel proved impossible to keep out of adventure. Despite being tied up, locked down, scolded, or threatened concerning the dangers of such, he followed his uncles on all of their adventures. This he did sometimes to their knowledge, sometimes not. He learned quickly, and proved to have a natural talent for the evoker's negotiation of dangerous situtations.<br><br />
<br />
== Present Day ==<br />
Despite a childhood full of promise Sammuel as an adult has left no lasting mark on Avlis. Possessing a well earned and self proclaimed reputation as a layabout, he has taken no active part in politics, guild life, or religion. By popular account, he seems to be quite content to live a pampered existence paid for by his and his uncle's adventure-gained fortunes, which are rumored to be quite large. The veracity of this would be disputed by those who adventure with him.<br><br />
<br />
It is well known that he keeps residence in a tower in the City Gates District of Mikona, is a patron of the arts as well as rookie adventurers, and has built the finest bar in the city ([[Mikona's Finest Playhouse]]). <br><br />

==Personal Information==<br />
====Appearance====<br />
Sammuel is slightly built and small of stature. He possesses fine, handsome features, a quick smile, and a ready laugh. A tan complexion and healthy aura speak of much time outdoors. His hair and eyes are brown, though his irises are ringed in a silver color that hints at an outsider ancestry, a likely explanation for his sorcerous talents. Despite rumors of a life as a rich layabout, Sammy is often found in functional clothes often showing the stains and marks of adventure.<br><br />
<br />
====Personality====<br />
Sammuel's personality tends to outsize his stature. His laugh is boisterous, and is often employed. He possesses a sharp and effusive wit. Whether this is employed to the chagrin or support of those he is speaking with changes by the line.<br><br />
<br />
His outlook on life and much that it entails is by all appearances rather light. Indeed, despite hob-nobbing with the movers and shakers of southern Avlis, and a childhood full of promise, Sammy has done little politically to make his mark on the world.

<br />
The finest bar and performing house in Mikona. Located in the One Percenter's Tower in the City Gates District of Mikona. <br />
<br />
The Canvas being long closed and the end of the war having an effect on the state of the arts and performers, [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]] was approached by the youngest of the One Percenter's, [[PCs:Sammuel_Valorian|Samuel Valorian]], whose idea was to have a small playhouse in the first floor where the potions shop once was open. Miss Raen being keen on the idea agreed to run the facility for the Percenter's. She asked if the renovation could be cozy. The project took flight.<br />
<br />
After all the renovation was complete a trio of swarthy gentlemen came to help Miss Raen celebrate the first night the doors opened. <br />

The Grand Opening Night was a special event with the venerated [[PCs:Hargas_Steelhead|Hargas Steelhead]] peforming to a packed house. Single performers, groups and plays often grace the stage. Planned and impromptu gatherings of friends chatting, singing and storytelling often occur. <br />
<br />
The barkeep, Grumm, keeps a fine stock of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in stock to suit most any taste. <br />
<br />
If you are in Mikona, do drop by, have a drink by the fireside. If you are lucky, someone will be on stage to entertain!</div>Tindertwiggyhttps://wiki.avlis.org/w/index.php?title=Mikona&diff=26912Mikona2007-11-10T00:55:42Z<p>Tindertwiggy: /* Garrison/Gate District */</p>

[[Image:Mikona.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Map over the City of Mikona]]<br />
<br />
== General Information ==<br />
The City of [[Mikona]] is the capital and largest city in the human nation of [[M'Chek]]. The predominant race in the city is [[Human|human]] and it is thus named after the god [[Mikon]], who with the help and advice of the god [[Ptah]] created the human race on Avlis. The city is located on the southernmost coast of M'Chek, and has therefore a hot climate. [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=69370 The law] in the city is enforced by the [[Mikona City Guard]], with assistance from the elite unit: [[Guild:_The_M'Chekian_Guards|The M'Chekian Guards]].<br />
<br />
== Mikona Districts ==<br />
The City of Mikona is divided into six major districts. They are: The garrison/gate district, the temple grounds, the market, the noble district, the residential area, and the docks district. Each of these districts interrelates with all the others in some way. Additionally, there is a long-abandoned underground area which is undergoing resettlement.<br />
<br />
Although dated in some details, "[[A Guide to Mikona by Twilight]]" remains a popular guidebook describing the city's districts.<br />
<br />
=== Garrison/Gate District ===<br />
This district holds the only public way in or out of the city without coming in by ship. Thus, it acts as a flow control for traffic to any other part of the city. A sign at the entrance directs people with various business to the correct place. It is in front of the gates, in a large rock near the road, that several adventures can be seen gathering for a little chat or getting ready for another crazy adventure.<br />
<br />
Notable businesses in the area include [[Mikona's Finest Playhouse]].<br />
<br />
=== The Temple Grounds === <br />
All business within and between churches takes place here. The Temple Grounds has about eight major temples in it. The most influential of these eight are the temples of [[Mikon]] (the largest), [[Dagath]], and [[Valok]]. Near these temples are shrines to a large number of other gods worshipped in the area. Usually these shrines have only one or two clerics tending to them. All gods and religions are accepted in Mikona, so the range of deities found there goes from [[Gorethar]], the goodly god of the [[Dwarf|dwarves]], to [[Maleki]], the evil malevolent god of giant-kin and murder.<br />
<br />
This district is also the location for the [[Guild:ATU|Avlis Tower University]], whose scholars are looked to as some of the best researchers in the south.<br />
<br />
The Shelter of Hope and the Shelter's Hospital is also found here, sponsored by the Churches of [[Gorethar]], [[Mikon]] and [[Dagath]], where the destitute can find a warm meal and perhaps a place to sleep out of the rain for the night. The Shelter's Hospital was built in collaboration of the [[Guild:Mikon%27s_Council_of_Balance|Mikon's Council of Balance]] and the [[Guild:Healers_of_Cha%27reth|Healers of Cha'reth]], to provide healing and care for the indigent of the city.<br />
<br />
=== Government District ===<br />
The center of government for the city and the entire nation rests here. It holds the two major meeting halls for both houses of government, the Noble House and the Common House, and the Joint Session Meeting Hall, which also acts as the executive base. Some of the traffic to this place comes from the Temple Grounds to the east, where the clerical representatives in government go back and forth to solicit their cases and agendas.<br />
<br />
The majority of the temples do not play a very active role in the government. They simply vote their conscience when needed. However, the Temple of Valok seems to take a keen interest in city and national affairs. This religion has taken off in the city sometime within the last hundred years. Its charismatic leaders instill a lot of self-confidence in the common public, as well as the rich and powerful. Its precepts of maximizing your individual potential through any lawful means, and some non-lawful means, readily appeal to many in the government arena.<br />
<br />
The Great Library of Mikona is also found here, and guided by several Lorewardens of Vorin, it is a seat of learning and research in Southern Negaria.<br />
<br />
=== The North and South Residential Areas === <br />
This is where many of the Common folk of Mikona live. Housing conditions are poor, and the crowding has incited a lot of gang activity in the area. Many residents are too afraid to go out even in the daytime, and often times the City Guards themselves neglect to walk their rounds there. Common folk refer to these areas as the Slums, because that's what they are. The Common House is continually concerned about this area, and now that the war is over, House Members are seeking various ways and ideas to to deal with the problems found there.<br />
<br />
=== The Market === <br />
This is the center of commerce in the city. It is located almost midway between the entrance of the city and the docks for easy access. Merchants of all kinds peddle their wares here. Both Nobles and Commoners can be found shopping, for this is one of the only places where the two castes will be seen in the same place.<br />
<br />
=== The Noble Districts === <br />
This is where the major nobles of the city and nation keep their homes. Some of them also have keeps outside the city as well. All in all there is not much activity here in the daytime, although lucky rogues sometimes press their luck in these areas at night.<br />
<br />
=== The Docks === <br />
This is the secondary area of commerce for the city. Most of the merchants live here and collect their wares here to sell. Emigrants who leave for other areas of the continent depart from here as well. <br />
<br />
=== The Dwarven Quarters ===<br />
Long ago, these tunnels under the city were home to dwarves who helped build Mikona. After a conflict centuries ago, they were abandoned. Now with the help of the Church of Gorethar, Mikona's government has opened the quarters as a gateway to the newly created Underdark Farms.<br />
<br />
The Church of Gorethar rebuilt and consecrated the ancient Dwarven Quarter Temple, which can be reached via an entrance in the Temple District.<br />
<br />
=== Underdark Farms ===<br />
The newest district of Mikona is its recently-colonized mushroom farm in the Underdark beneath the city. Only a few years old, this project remains a point of contention between different factions in Mikona.<br />
<br />
== Government in Mikona and M'Chek == <br />
<br />
The goverment of M'Chek is a noble democracy, and the two houses of government, The Noble House and the Common House, have their meeting halls within the city.<br />
<br />
The two houses of government are presided over by a Minister who executes decisions and carries out the task of administration, although they are limited in their actions by the legislators. In addition to the Minister there is a War Commissioner who is the commander and chief of the standing army. This is a hotly contested position that has been filled by either Nobles or reputable warrior generals.<br />
<br />
'''Current Incumbents'''<br />
* [[NPCs:Kendrick Jay Walsington|Lord Walsington]], Minister of the Joint Houses<br />
* [[NPCs:Tobias Chasworth|Lord Chasworth]], War Commissioner<br />
<br />
=== The Noble House ===<br />
<br />
The Noble House is made up of representatives from two places: the Noble families of M'Chek, and the various large Temples represented in Mikona, namely the temples of [[Mikon]], [[Dagath]], [[Toran]], and [[Valok]].<br />
<br />
This house deals mainly with foreign policy issues and affairs. Although each individual Noble family has total control over their own estate, they are expected to represent a portion of their nation's interest. For instance, all of the major Noble families have personal armies and troops, but there is also a standing national army of M'Chek to which each noble is expected to contribute a certain percentage of its force.<br />

* Church of Valok: [[NPCs:Japhen Jurok |Japhen Jurok ]]<br />
<br />
=== The Common House ===<br />
<br />
The Common House picks its representatives from among the commoners of the nation, although rarely do any of these commoners come from outside the city. Thus most of the concerns of the Common House deal with city matters. Rarely do they interfere in matters of national action or policy, although they do have the power to do so.<br />

<br />
The finest bar and performing house in Mikona. Located in the One Percenter's Tower in the City Gates District of Mikona. <br />
<br />
The Canvas being long closed and the end of the war having an effect on the state of the arts and performers, [[PCs:Raen|Miss Raen]] was approached by the youngest of the One Percenter's, [[PCs:Sammuel_Valorian|Samuel Valorin]], whose idea was to have a small playhouse in the first floor where the potions shop once was open. Miss Raen being keen on the idea agreed to run the facility for the Percenter's. She asked if the renovation could be cozy. The project took flight.<br />
<br />
After all the renovation was complete a trio of swarthy gentlemen came to help Miss Raen celebrate the first night the doors opened. <br />

<br />
The Grand Opening Night was a special event with the venerated [[PCs:Hargas_Steelhead|Hargas Steelhead]] peforming to a packed house. Single performers, groups and plays often grace the stage. Planned and impromptu gatherings of friends chatting, singing and storytelling often occur. <br />
<br />
The barkeep, Grumm, keeps a fine stock of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages in stock to suit most any taste. <br />
<br />
If you are in Mikona, do drop by, have a drink by the fireside. If you are lucky, someone will be on stage to entertain!</div>Tindertwiggyhttps://wiki.avlis.org/w/index.php?title=PCs:Sammuel_Valorian&diff=26910PCs:Sammuel Valorian2007-11-10T00:48:50Z<p>Tindertwiggy: /* History */</p>

== History ==<br />
<br />
Sammuel grew up an urchin in the streets of Mikona. At the age of four he was adopted by the paladin Vian Valorian after the young boy showed a sorcerous spark. From that point he was raised by Vian and an adventuring band of 'uncles;' the dwarves Harthgraepa and Feeb, and the elf Tri'as. Though always small for his age, once adopted and properly cared for and fed, Sammuel quickly blossomed into a child prodigy in the art of evocation. His burgeoning abilities were not without cost. Among his adoptive family the dwarves bespoke their detriments loudest of all through often-singed beards.<br />
<br />
Sammuel proved impossible to keep out of adventure. Despite being tied up, locked down, scolded, or threatened concerning the dangers of such, he followed his uncles on all of their adventures. This he did sometimes to their knowledge, sometimes not. He learned quickly, and proved to have a natural talent for the evoker's negotiation of dangerous situtations.<br />
<br />
== Present Day ==<br />
<br />
Despite a childhood full of promise Sammuel as an adult has left no lasting mark on Avlis. Possessing a well earned and self proclaimed reputation as a layabout, he has taken no active part in politics, guild life, or religion. By popular account, he seems to be quite content to live a pampered existence paid for by his and his uncle's adventure-gained fortunes, which are rumored to be quite large. The veracity of this would be disputed by those who adventure with him.<br />
<br />
It is well known that he keeps residence in a tower in the City Gates District of Mikona, is a patron of the arts as well as rookie adventurers, and has built the finest bar in the city ([[Mikona's Finest Playhouse]]). He is physically described as human and small of stature, with fine features, bright eyes, and a sharp, effusive wit.<br />

*(11/26/05) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=67582 The Gnomes begin to take on Tollgaroth's old role as Mikona's most prominent enemy,] as they begin to launch assaults on the city from their stronghold in the Hills of Tumult.<br />
*(11/20/05) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=67278 The Jacks, a rampaging group of rebel brownies who hoped to take over Mikona,] have their plans thwarted when their hidden base of operations is finally discovered. Unfortunately their insane leader, the Jack himself, escapes capture. <br />
*(11/16/05) Lord Marcus Deth [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?p=680587#680587 passes away] from "a short and terrible disease." Rumors begin to spread after his funeral that he was resurrected by [[PCs:Damar_Ogdem|Damar Ogdem]], but lack of official announcements from the Government or Lord Deth's reappearance quell these rumors.<br />
*(11/09/05) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=67839 Jand de la Fleur's banishment is lifted.] Accused of treason during the war, he is allowed back into M'Chek after his case is reviewed.<br />

*(06/24/05) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=57579 Fulfordis begins assaulting Mikona.] His appearance is linked to Tollgaroth's plans, and the treaty between Tollgaroth and Mikona becomes strained.<br />

*(04/29/05) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=54027 A dreaded plague that has been thus far confined to Elysia spreads to M'Chek].

*(04/21/05) [http://www.avlis.org/viewtopic.php?t=53495 The Alpha Corps organizes an operation to secure Blandenberg for M'Chekian settlers.] This unprecedented operation involves capturing the village, securing it, then handing it over to neutral parties to settle as they will. Of the neutral parties involved, only the Church of Mikon, as represented by Moira Celyn, accepts responsibility for the settlement. The Blandenberg Protectorate is born.

== History ==<br />
<br />
Sammuel grew up an urchin in the streets of Mikona. At the age of four he was adopted by the paladin Vian Valorian after the young boy showed a sorcerous spark. From that point he was raised by Vian and an adventuring band of 'uncles;' the dwarves Harthgraepa and Feeb, and the elf Tri'as. Though always small for his age, once adopted and properly cared for and fed, Sammuel quickly blossomed into a child prodigy in the art of evocations. His burgeoning abilities were not without cost. Among his adoptive family the dwarves bespoke their detriments loudest of all through often-singed beards.<br />
<br />
Sammuel proved impossible to keep out of adventure. Despite being tied up, locked down, scolded, or threatened concerning the dangers of such, he followed his uncles on all of their adventures. This he did sometimes to their knowledge, sometimes not. He learned quickly, and proved to have a natural talent for the evoker's negotiation of dangerous situtations. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Present Day ==<br />
<br />
Despite a childhood full of promise Sammuel as an adult has left no lasting mark on Avlis. Possessing a well earned and self proclaimed reputation as a layabout, he has taken no active part in politics, guild life, or religion. By all accounts, he seems to be quite content to live a pampered existance paid for by his and his uncle's adventure gained fortunes, which are rumored to be quite large. It is well known that he keeps residence in a tower in the City Gates District of Mikona, is a patron of the arts, and has built the finest bar in the city ([[Mikona's Finest Playhouse]]). He is physically described as human and small of stature, with fine features, bright eyes, and a sharp, effusive wit.</div>Tindertwiggyhttps://wiki.avlis.org/w/index.php?title=Mikona%27s_Finest_Playhouse&diff=25081Mikona's Finest Playhouse2007-05-04T18:01:15Z<p>Tindertwiggy: </p>
