== Weather ==

=== Ymiden ===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:90%; overflow:auto;">
'''General Weather'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Ymiden is known for its hot, summer weather and strong hurricanes. Though this season isn't as unbearable as Saun, Ymiden provides more cloudless days than cloudy. Astronomers cherish this season for its clear skies, giving way to cool nights full of stars and moonlight. Ymiden is also the season where most festivals take place. Crops planted during Ashan will be harvested before the middle of Ymiden, allowing for enormous feasts, plenty of drink, and an unlimited supply of entertainment.

Ymiden lasts for a total of 83 trials (days). During this time, temperatures remain moderate while oceans and any other body of water become warm enough to swim in. The storms that occur throughout this season can be severe, ranging from hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, and monsoons. However, each region will experience the effects of this seasons differently.

</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:90%; overflow:auto;">
'''Viden Specific'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Not much changes for city buried in snow in Ymiden. Temperatures warm slightly, but not enough to melt even the freshest layers of snowfall. Clear skies for a portion of Ymiden offer opportunities that are few and far between for stargazing. The wind, an ever present force for Viden's citizens, remains constant.

*'''1st-14th''': Skies clear early in the Season, bringing sunlight days and clear night skies to Viden. Temperatures however, are still low.
*'''24th-56th''': Cloud coverage is back, temperatures drop lower than they were and fresh snowfall begins. Over the course of several trials the light sprinkling builds up, but this is seen as normal weather for the citizens of Viden.
*'''70th-83rd''': Over the last few trials of Ymiden the skies clear and the city in snow is once again graced with sun filled days and clear nights.
</div></div>
=== Saun ===

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:90%; overflow:auto;">
'''General Weather'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
As Ymiden closes out, Saun begins, bringing with it another sun. Saun is known as the hottest season in Idalos with high temperatures that can become unbearable to work in. During this season, night time provides a small relief to the heat and though the temperatures aren't so excruciatingly hot, exposure to the sun without proper water and shade as well as rest can be fatal.

Saun lasts a total of 40 trials (days). It is recommended during this time to keep a close eye on all children, livestock, and crops. Because of the heat, water will need to be readily available and distributed frequently, as to avoid potential stroke or loss of life from overheating. Any storms experienced during this season are much more powerful than those produced during Ymiden.

</div></div>

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:90%; overflow:auto;">
'''Viden Specific'''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
With the arrival of Saun comes an increase in temperature for Viden. Nothing record breaking, but warm enough that one might consider a slightly less thick outer coat. Near the end of the Season though, things are back to normal as the snow comes in once more, and the weather resumes its normal course.

*'''1st-10th''': Temperatures raise, skies are clear, and it's mostly quiet in the city of snow.
*'''35th-40th''': The end of Saun hits, clouds move back in, and over the course of a few trials snow begins to fall anew.
</div></div>

== Seasonal Context==
With the [https://www.standingtrials.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Story_Global_Crack_in_the_Wall Fall of the Emea] on everyone's minds at the onset of the Cycle, tempers are high and many find that the leaders they look to for answers are on edge as they try to find rational explanations for the havoc that is caused in the trials that follow.

|Global Happenings
|1st of Ymiden
|All over Idalos, people fall asleep at about 11pm the night before (so 123rd Ashan) - whether they were walking, sailing, skydiving etc. That it's late at night means it's not utter anarchy - but there are accidents and fatalities. When people wake up having dreamed of the events portrayed in the Crack in the Wall threads. They know the names and faces of everyone involved, including their actions in those events. It feels a lot more real than a dream would.

The Warning System

2019-05-08T12:53:50Z

Mr Spud:

Herein is a detailed guide that describes, defines, and discusses the warning system we use on Standing Trials. All warnings are given out in response to breaches of the [https://www.standingtrials.com/wiki/index.php?title=Player_Terms_of_Use ToU]. Therefore we would strongly urge all players to be fully aware of the ToU and keep them in mind at all time.

=The Warning System=

The warning system used on Standing Trials is a stepped one, with increasing consequences if another warning is given within a particular time frame.

* Official Warning 1 - 3 month shelf life
* Official Warning 2 - 6 month shelf life
* Official Warning 3 - 9 month shelf life
* Official Warning 4 - site ban 1 - 9 month wait for appeal
<br>
<br>
The first site ban is able to be appealed in nine months time. If this stage is reached again there is no appeal allowed.

The individual remains on their current warning level for the specified “shelf life” time. If another breach of the ToU occurs during the ‘shelf life’ of the warning, the player will be put onto the next level of warning and the shelf life for that warning will start from that date.

Additionally chat bans are given out whenever the violation takes place (in whole or part) in either the official discord server or any other discord server pertaining to Standing Trials in which there is mod presence. Chat ban, in accordance to the warnings:

* Warning 1 - 2 week exclusion from chat
* Warning 2 - 3 week exclusion from chat
* Warning 3 - 4 week exclusion from chat
<br>
<br>
If you are given a warning, you will be sent a PM by a member of Staff. You should note that this will be permanently recorded in your Player Notes, a thread visible by all staff. Even when the duration of the warning has expired, the Player Notes remain.

==Extreme Circumstances==
Any illegal activity, with proof of said activity,or extreme behaviour which is beyond the realm of a usual breach - will constitute a vote of all current Team Leads and two staff members currently available and not involved in the situation. This might include something like extreme harassment or a racist attack, etc. This is actioned only when there is an 80% or higher vote for extreme circumstances to be used; when it is, it is an immediate, and permanent ban. Any illegal activity that falls under this purview is to have a 24 hour time limit on the vote. After 24 hours, a majority will be determined based on the number of votes recieved, and not by the total amount of Team Leads + staff members.

==Who Does This Apply To?==
Simply put, this applies to everyone, be they staff or player. However, it is important to note that the warning is given to the person, not an individual account. If you have five PCs and a Mod account, you don’t get to be on Warning 2 on one, Warning 1 on another etc. The Warning Level is specific to the player, no matter what their role on Standing Trials.

=Definitions=

==Shelf life==
Shelf life is the length of time the warning remains in effect. It begins on the date the warning was given, and expires at a specified time. refers to a given length of time, based on the particular warning. At the end of the given term (the amount of time required for the warning), so long as there hasn’t been subsequent warnings given, the warnings are cleared and the individual is treated as if they have had no warnings.

==ToU==
This refers to the Terms of Use that are established for the site of Standing Trials. The ToU applies to Standing Trials itself, as well as all sub parts of Standing Trials, such as but not limited to, the main Discord Server, and any City based Discord Server.

==Ban==
A ban refers to the removal of access to a given item. Chat bans refer to the removal of access to the Main Discord Server and any subsequent Discord Servers in which Staff are present, such as but not limited to, City Discord Servers. Whereas a site ban is exclusion from the site itself.

==Grandfathering==
This term is used to describe the process in which old warnings from the previous system are brought forward and in line with the new system.

==Level==
This term is used to describe what number or ‘level’ of warning the individual is on.

=Grandfathering=
If the individual has any warnings at the time of implementation of this system, they are treated as if they are at the same level in the new system. Meaning that if an individual only has one Official Warning, then they are treated as if they are on Warning 1. Shelf life begins from the date the warning was given. This is retroactive.

For individuals who have returned from an appealed ban they are to be placed on Warning 2. Shelf life begins at the date of the individuals return.

Individuals who are currently banned at the time of implementation and have not had an appeal, are required to wait 9 months from the date of implementation of this system before they are allowed to appeal their ban.

=Appeals=

Individuals are allowed to appeal their ban after 9 months, in which time no further ToU violations may occur. In order to apply for an appeal the individual may contact any member of staff, explaining why they wish to appeal their ban and anything they’d like us to know in regards to their previous behavior, who will then bring the appeal forward to the rest of the staff who will then vote. Please note: any attempt to circumvent bans and premature returns to the site will be met with immediate re-ban and will move the player to the point of no appeals.

Wealth Tiers

2019-04-26T00:50:38Z

Mr Spud: /* Wilderness PCs & Wealth Tier */

[[File:Wealth_Tiers.jpg|right]] <p style="font-size: 15px; text-align:right;">
=What Are Wealth Tiers?=
Here on Standing Trials, your wealth is measured in Tiers. Each Tier is an indication of your lifestyle overall and encompasses all aspects of that lifestyle. Items in the price list, your clothing, housing and so on are all determined by Wealth Tiers, so make sure that you understand not only what your Wealth Tier is, but also where it fits in the bigger picture of wealth (and poverty) on Idalos!
<div id="Wealth Tiers Wilderness PCs & Wealth Tier></div>

=How Do I Know My Wealth Tier?=
Your initial Wealth Tier is determined by your [[:Category: Choosing Your Starter Pack | starter pack]]. After that, you will gain or lose [[Wealth Points]] each season. Those Wealth Points determine where you are in the list of Wealth Tiers.

=Wilderness PCs & Wealth Tier=
These work slightly differently, as the PCs do not live a "conventional" lifestyle. For Wilderness PCs, their Wealth Tier is determined by their [[Field Craft]] or [[Hunting]] skill. Each level of that skill is associated with a Wealth Tier. This means that those who take the [[Wilderness Pack]] start in Tier 1 and, when they reach Competent they move up to Tier 2, etc. However, their starting package means that they are able to live in a self sufficient manner. [[Wealth Threads]] for a Wilderness PC should be a Wilderness or Survival thread, with trade and barter coming later on (as seen in the description of the Tiers). The same is true for those taking the [[Seafarer's Pack]] - whose Wealth Skill is likely to be [[Seafaring]] or [[Navigation]]. If the individual PC wishes to default their [[Wealth Skill]] to another skill, the case for this must be put forward in the PSF and will be approved so long as it fits with the character story (eg: A traveling circus performer might have [[Acrobatics]] that's fine). This can be done on character creation or at any time thereafter.
<br> <br>
Wilderness PCs may earn [[Wealth Points]] the same as any other PC and complete [[Wealth Thread|Wealth Threads]] in the same way. When they reach a new Wealth Tier due to Skill increase, they are considered to be on the very bottom of that Tier. They can not increase their Wealth Tier via Wealth Points as a Wilderness PC <b> until they reach Tier 5</b>, but they can spend them.
<br> <br>
Once a Wilderness or Seafaring PC has reached maximum Wealth Tier due to skill, their <b>wage</b> is maxed out. However, as they accrue Wealth Points, their Wealth Tier increases as does every other pc.

=Tiers & Points=
[[File:Coin_Purse03.jpg|right]]Below is a list of the Wealth Tiers with the Wealth Points in parentheses after them:
<ul>
<li>Wealth Tier 1 (0 - 5) </li>
<li>Wealth Tier 2 (6 -25) </li>
<li>Wealth Tier 3 (26 - 45) </li>
<li>Wealth Tier 4 (46 -65) </li>
<li>Wealth Tier 5 (66 - 90) </li>
<li>Wealth Tier 6 (91 - 115) </li>
<li>Wealth Tier 7 (116 - 140) </li>
<li>Wealth Tier 8 (141 -195) </li>
<li>Wealth Tier 9 (196 -250) </li>
<li>Wealth Tier 10 (251+) </li>
</ul>

=NPCs=
There is no limit on the number of skilled or flavour NPCs that you can have, however, please note the [[Wealth & NPCs | rules on NPCs]]

=Lifestyle Per Tier=
==Wealth Tier 1 ( 0 - 5 Wealth Points)==
Somebody living in Wealth Tier 1 owns nothing. This is the default starting wealth for all slave PCs. For non-slaves, all you have is the clothes on your back. You will need to beg or be given food, you have nowhere to live and you own nothing.
<br><br>
For those PCs with the [[Wilderness Pack |Wilderness Starter Pack]] or [[Seafarer's Pack| Seafaring Starter Pack]] this is the level of wealth at Novice of their associated [[Wealth Skills | wealth skill]] It suggests that your PC is significantly below the skill level needed to live comfortably in the environment they're in.

==Wealth Tier 2 (6 - 25 Wealth Points)==
At this tier, a character is living in squalor, or is homeless. They live from hand to mouth, often not knowing where the next meal is coming from
<br><br>
For those PCs with the [[Wilderness Pack |Wilderness Starter Pack]] or [[Seafarer's Pack | Seafaring Starter Pack]] this is the level of wealth at Competent of their associated [[Wealth Skills | wealth skill]]. It suggests that your PC is below, or just at the skill level needed to live comfortably in the environment they're in.

==Wealth Tier 3 (26 - 45 Wealth Points) ==
Here, you are living well below the average lifestyle. Your home is likely to be very basic, in need of repair and, if living in a city, for example, you are in the poorest area / district. You should assume that your character has no access to any garden.
<br><br>
For those PCs with the [[Wilderness Pack |Wilderness Starter Pack]] or [[Seafarer's Pack | Seafaring Starter Pack]] this is the level of wealth at Expert of their associated [[Wealth Skills | wealth skill]]. It suggests that your PC is at, or slightly above the skill level needed to live comfortably in the environment they're in.

==Wealth Tier 4 (46 - 65 Wealth Points)==
This person is living with below average wealth. Your lifestyle affords you little in the way of luxuries and some seasons are hard to get by. Your housing is very basic. You might have a very small garden, but it is tiny.
<br><br>
For those PCs with the [[Wilderness Pack |Wilderness Starter Pack]] or [[Seafarer's Pack | Seafaring Starter Pack]] this is the level of wealth at Master of their associated [[Wealth Skills | wealth skill]]. It suggests that your PC is well above the skill level needed to live comfortably in the environment they're in. At this point, they are likely to be able to do more than just live trial to trial and will be starting to make a living on their skills, perhaps through trade or barter.

==Wealth Tier 5(66 - 90 Wealth Points)==
The average lifestyle for a character in Idalos. If you live in a house, you have a small three room home in a mediocre area. Nothing fancy, but equally, you aren't completely scraping for your next meal, either. You get by. You may assume a small garden.
<br><br>
For those PCs with the [[Wilderness Pack |Wilderness Starter Pack]] or [[Seafarer's Pack | Seafaring Starter Pack]] this is the level of wealth at Maximum (100/100 for FT or 250/250 for all other skills) of their associated [[Wealth Skills | wealth skill]]. It suggests that your PC is at a skill level where they can live, more than comfortably, almost anywhere on Idalos. They will be able to make a living on their skill, also - perhaps acting as a guide, trading goods or selling their hunted / gathered produce.

==Wealth Tier 6 (91 - 115 Wealth Points)==
This person is starting to see the finer things in life, here and there. They are well fed and able to buy little treats and luxuries, here and there. Their home is likely to be comfortable and you may assume a medium-sized garden.
<br><br>
For those PCs with the [[Wilderness Pack |Wilderness Starter Pack]] or [[Seafarer's Pack | Seafaring Starter Pack]] this is the level of wealth above that achieved at Maximum (100/100 for FT or 250/250 for all other skills) of their associated [[Wealth Skills | wealth skill]]. Every Wealth Tier above Wealth Tier 5 indicates more and more disposable income for this PC. They live a very good, comfortable lifestyle at Tier 5, every Tier thereafter is about money and items they have access to, either through barter, sale or some other means of accruing wealth.

==Wealth Tier 7 (116 - 140 Wealth Points)==
Tier 7 individuals have a good lifestyle and money to spare. They have comfortable and well appointed housing with spare resources which they can save or spend on luxury items. Their food and clothing are likely to be well above average. PCs at this Tier may assume a large garden.
<br> <br>
For those PCs with the [[Wilderness Pack |Wilderness Starter Pack]] or [[Seafarer's Pack | Seafaring Starter Pack]] this is the level of wealth 2 Tiers above that achieved at Maximum (100/100 for FT or 250/250 for all other skills) of their associated [[Wealth Skills | wealth skill]]. Every Wealth Tier above Wealth Tier 5 indicates more and more disposable income for this PC. They live a very good, comfortable lifestyle at Tier 5, every Tier thereafter is about money and items they have access to, either through barter, sale or some other means of accruing wealth.

==Wealth Tier 8 (141 - 195 Wealth Points)==
The very wealthy are those who have a very good lifestyle, are able to live in very high quality housing if they choose to and have lots of spare wealth with which to purchase luxuries and any goods they want. This PC may assume a large garden.
<br><br>
For those PCs with the [[Wilderness Pack |Wilderness Starter Pack]] or [[Seafarer's Pack | Seafaring Starter Pack]] this is the level of wealth 3 Tiers above that achieved at Maximum (100/100 for FT or 250/250 for all other skills) of their associated [[Wealth Skills | wealth skill]]. Every Wealth Tier above Wealth Tier 5 indicates more and more disposable income for this PC. They live a very good, comfortable lifestyle at Tier 5, every Tier thereafter is about money and items they have access to, either through barter, sale or some other means of accruing wealth.

==Wealth Tier 9 (196 - 250 Wealth Points)==
To be at Wealth Tier 9 is to have the opportunity of a lifestyle the average person would not be able to dream of. Minor nobility living in large private estates and wearing the finest clothes are rich. This pc is likely to live somewhere with "grounds" rather than a garden.
<br><br>
For those PCs with the [[Wilderness Pack |Wilderness Starter Pack]] or [[Seafarer's Pack | Seafaring Starter Pack]] this is the level of wealth 4 Tiers above that achieved at Maximum (100/100 for FT or 250/250 for all other skills) of their associated [[Wealth Skills | wealth skill]]. Every Wealth Tier above Wealth Tier 5 indicates more and more disposable income for this PC. They live a very good, comfortable lifestyle at Tier 5, every Tier thereafter is about money and items they have access to, either through barter, sale or some other means of accruing wealth.

==Wealth Tier 10 (251 Wealth Points +)==
Then, there are the filthy rich. Those who can afford pretty much whatever they want and who live an absolutely libertine lifestyle. They are the high ranking nobles, most famous in their professions, etc and are likely to live in a few acres of land.
<br><br>
For those PCs with the [[Wilderness Pack |Wilderness Starter Pack]] or [[Seafarer's Pack | Seafaring Starter Pack]] this is the level of wealth 5 Tiers above that achieved at Maximum (100/100 for FT or 250/250 for all other skills) of their associated [[Wealth Skills | wealth skill]]. Every Wealth Tier above Wealth Tier 5 indicates more and more disposable income for this PC. They live a very good, comfortable lifestyle at Tier 5, every Tier thereafter is about money and items they have access to, either through barter, sale or some other means of accruing wealth.

Wealth Points

2019-04-26T00:46:50Z

Mr Spud: /* How Do I Gain Wealth Points? */

[[File:Wealth Points.jpg|right]] <p style="font-size: 15px;>
=What Are Wealth Points?=
Each [[Wealth Tier]] has a number of Wealth Points associated with it. These are indicative of how firmly in that Tier you are, and how close you are to the next Tier.

=How Can I Use Them?=
There are, fundamentally, two things that you can do with Wealth Points. Either spend them on items / goods above your current Wealth Tier as listed in the [[:Category: The Shoppe| Shoppe]] or, you can save them and work towards the next Wealth Tier.

It is important to note that someone having more Wealth Points or less in a particular Wealth Tier has no impact on their lifestyle within that Tier - it is disposable income which might allow for more one off purchases, or it's an indication of working towards a better lifestyle. That's up to you, the player.

=How Do I Gain Wealth Points?=

You gain Wealth Points in a number of ways:
<ul>
<li> <b> [[Wealth Thread]]</b> Each season you can undertake a "Wealth Thread" - this is a thread where you use your identified [[Wealth Skill]] for the season. </li>
<li> <b> [[Wealth Points]]</b> The number of points you have determines your Tier and your disposable income. As a starting PC, your initial Wealth Points are identified below. For existing or returning PCs, please see [[Grandfathered Wealth]]

{| class="wikitable"
!PCs Starting Wealth Tier!!Starting Wealth Points
|-
|Tier 1||0 Wealth Points
|-
|Tier 2|| 6 Wealth Points

|-
|Tier 8 ||141 Wealth Points
|-
|Tier 9||196 Wealth Points
|-
|Tier 10|| 251+ Wealth Points
|}
<br>
<li> <b>Other Threads</b> Here on Standing Trials we have many [[Types of Thread]]. If, in your thread you have a situation where you might earn a Wealth Point, you can ask for one in your [[Review Request]]. Please note, however, that you can only do this <b>after</b> you have completed your Wealth Thread for the season and submitted it for review.</li>
<li> <b>Moderated Threads</b> if you take part in a moderated thread, be that an event or a one to one moderated thread, the mod in question might choose to give you Wealth Point rewards. That is entirely at Mod discretion, though. </li>
<li><b>Annual Bonus</b> If you complete Wealth Threads using the same [[Wealth Skill]] for a full year, you get an "Annual Bonus" - this is 5 Wealth Points the first year, 15 on your second year and 25 Wealth Points on the third year and each year thereafter</li></ul>

=How Do I Lose Wealth Points?=
There are two ways to lose wealth points. First - spend them! That has already been covered above. The other way to lose Wealth Points is by moderator intervention, perhaps due to the consequences of a modded thread or some other such. Of course - the other thing you can do is give them away!

=Summary=
<ul> <li>You have one thread a season identified as your [[Wealth Thread]].</li>
<li> This thread is associated with your identified [[Wealth Skill]]. </li>
<li> Your first Wealth Thread earns you 1 Wealth Point. The following season Wealth Thread earns 2, then 3 etc. </li>
<li> You can also earn Wealth Points via your usual threads. These can be claimed as [[Thread Rewards]] in your [[Review Request]] and are threads which earn you wealth. These might be from a second job, an adventure, a gift etc. These are awarded at reviewer's discretion. </li>
<li> You can spend or save Wealth Points. They can be spent on items above your Tier in the [[Price List]] or saved to indicate you working towards your next Wealth Tier. </li>
<li> You must have completed and put for review a Wealth Thread before you get any bonus Wealth Points from other threads. </li>
<li> You get an annual bonus if your Wealth Thread is using the same Wealth Skill for a full year. </li></ul>

The Snow Fox Owl Is known for its thick coat and sharp senses. Only the most skilled of hunters can sneak up on the beast, and claim it's coat as a prize. It is nocturnal and sees in thermal. Its ears are so keen that it can pick up a mouse, miles away. The growths on their head are to help with finding mates. And can also be used as an Academical ingredient. They are 65cm long, and weigh 9.5kg. During mating season the males sing songs. This is a tourist attraction for Viden. The songs are known to sound of flutes played by masters.

=Habitat=
Devanti Mountains, Champion's Pass, Murk Pass
<br>
<br>
=Lifespan and Development=
The Lietajúci Pardus resembles a leopard in appearance, but don't let that fool you. This beast has a wingspans of 9 meters from tip to tip. They are know to ambush pray from above, and going for their neck. Some rare sightings are disclosed in the mythical texts, where they speech telepathically to men. These myths have not been proven true though. Because of their coat and beautiful horns, these animals are hunted for trophies, due to this their numbers have dwindle to endangered. Despite this people still hunt the animals closer to extinction. They are around 10 meters long and a weight of 200-230kgs. Despite this size humans are not on their prey item list. Except during hard times, or when under threat. Attempts to domesticate these animals are ill advised. Stories of circuses being destroyed from stealing cubs are no myth. Rangers are sent out in squads of no less then 10 when needing to take on one of these beasts. Luckily attacks are rare just like their sightings.

Mr Spud:

{{#pagetitle:Tanner Mantis}}
[[file:TannerMantis.jpeg|center|link=]]

=Habitat=
Viden snowfields
<br>
<br>
=Lifespan and Development=
The life cycle of a Tanner Mantis begins in the egg stage. When an adult consumes it’s prey, it gathers the viscera left over after its feeding, and reproduces hermaphroditically. Afterward, it will lay a cluster of eggs beneath the surface of the snow, nested in the leftover viscera of its former prey.

The eggs tend to lay dorman beneath the snow either until the snow thaws enough for the eggs to be exposed (Which kills them) or until an animal’s body warmth activates the latent eggs, immediately hatching and inserting itself into the subcutaneous layer of the creature’s skin.

From there, it proceeds to feed on the blood sugar of the creature it inhabits, until it absorbs the bloodline memory of its host. Once it has attained a certain level of ‘familiarity’ with it’s host’s bloodline, it will take that memory with it to the next stage, pupae.

The pupae stage can go one of a few ways. Either it will exit the host through one of it’s orifices without much damage done, or it will tear out of the skin violently causing wounds that are difficult to heal, because the toxic slime it leaves behind complicates healing, encouraging the growth of disease.

In any case, the host creature is rendered with a less capable immune reaction for at least a season before they are able to recover, if they survive.

The Tanner Mantis then seeks out the snowfields, and from there lies in wait beneath the snows, insulated from the freezing winds by a surrounding layer of snow and whatever hide or skin it was able to tear off its former host.

It has deadly pincers and scythe-like appendages that are capable of ripping and tearing, more than capable of taking down local herds or stray wanderers. With every kill, it collects parts and pieces, covering itself with the hide of it’s kills and laying eggs as it will.
<br>
<br>
=Diet=
Carnivorous in pupae stage. Parasitic in larval.
<br>
<br>
=Temperament=
Hostile trapper.
<br>
<br>
=Abilities=
The properties of the larval slime of the Tanner Mantis are said to have certain benefits, when it comes to speeding up the rotting process of materials, whether it be for mulching materials, or the processing of flax, and other processes.

It can also be used as a toxin when insinuated into a wound. Injested, it’s mostly harmless.

Player Terms of Use

2019-04-08T15:02:09Z

Mr Spud:

Standing Trials: Rules and Expectations of All Users

The Website: Standing Trials (http://www.standingtrials.com/), referred to through the rest of this thread as "the website", "our website", "the site", "our site", "Standing Trials", and "Trials".
You: The person reading these words right now.
The Staff: All users who are identified as administrators/moderators (http://standingtrials.com/memberlist.php?mode=leaders) on the site. "We", "us", "our", "ours", "staff", "Prophet", "Prophets", "Narrator", "Narrators", "Versifier", "Versifiers", "Minstrel", "Minstrels", "Poet", "Poets", and "the team".
Real World: Anything that takes place in real life. "Real life", "out of character", and "OOC".

By using the website Standing Trials, you agree to follow the rules laid out in this thread as well as rules given by official staff members of the site (known as Narrators, Minstrels, and Poets). If in doubt, a Minstrel's word overrides a Poet's, and a Narrator's word will override any other. Ignorance of these rules is no excuse for not following them.

The following wall of text has been made tiny because it's in all caps, but basically says that we are not responsible for anything that goes wrong.

THE WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTY OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTIES' RIGHTS, AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE OR ITS CONTENT WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH STATES, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

You must be above the age of 13 (thirteen) years old to use this website. If you're twelve and your birthday is in a week, then wait and come back to register. We appreciate your enthusiasm for Standing Trials, but because the website is hosted in the United States, we're subject to laws of the United States of America and can be prosecuted for not following them. Though we try our best to ensure all content posted on Standing Trials remains tasteful, sometimes things may slip by us.

Links to external sites may be placed on our own website from time to time. We are not responsible for any content that can be found on any of these external sites. If you have a problem with content found on an external website that was linked to here, you are free to let an appropriate staff member know, but we can't do much about it.

The staff of Standing Trials reserves the right to edit or change any of these rules at any time without warning.

Part 1: Terms of Use

Remain respectful of all others on the site. Treat fellow members as you'd want to be treated yourself.
Do not harass, bully, threaten, or otherwise attack anyone on Standing Trials.
Your username must be your character's name, a derivative of it, an alias, or something similar. At no time should you use numbers or symbols, though spaces are acceptable. Usernames for Prophets must be words commonly recognized in the English language.
Keep it tasteful. Refrain from using excessive foul language or graphic depictions of sexual acts or violence. If you wouldn't want a ten-year-old or your grandmother reading it, don't post it.
Use the English language only on this site. It's okay to carry out a conversation with another person over PMs in German or another language, but when posting on the forums themselves stick to English.
Note: It's okay to use the occasional word or phrase in a foreign language. Moderation is key.
Using languages other than English and languages unique to Standing Trials while you are in character is forbidden.
You are allowed to swear. ("fuck", "shit", "bitch", etc.) You may not harass others. Excessive use of foul language will earn you a permanent spot in the Staff Post Checker and may result in us forbidding the use of swears on the site.
Leave the following potentially sensitive material off the site chat or OOC discussions.
Real life religion
Real life politics
Real life current events
Real life illegal activities-including, but not limited to, drug use, piracy, underage drinking, theft, and rape.
Racism, sexism, discriminatory language, slurs, and other harassment.
Be aware of the rules of the United States government. If something is dubiously legal, leave it off the site.
If in doubt about anything, either contact a Prophet about the material in question or just don't post it.
All in-character written content (including character sheets) must be original.
Things such as theme songs or quotes are fine, as long as proper credit is given to the source. Credit can be as simple as "Song Title" - Artist.

Part 2: Chat Rules

By logging into the site's chat (http://www.standingtrials.com/chat/) you agree to follow all rules outlined here as well as the rules that govern the rest of the site. Ignorance is not an excuse or a valid defense.

Listen to all directives given by chat moderators or administrators (usually identified with green and red names, respectively, though this depends on your selected chat style).
Respect your fellow chatters.
Do not whine, rant, complain, or otherwise vent about your personal life and/or issues in chat.
Under absolutely no circumstance will conversations of a sexual nature be allowed in chat.
If asked to stop discussing a subject by anyone else in chat, stop. Drop it. Don't bring it back up a few minutes later, don't continue the conversation in whispers.
Make your best effort to answer any questions asked of you. If this means directing the asker to someone who's more capable of helping them, so be it, but attempt to answer questions first.
Keep the conversation related to Standing Trials. If you can draw a clear line between whatever it is you're talking about and the world of Standing Trials, then it's okay, but you must be able to provide clarification to a moderator if asked.

Part 3: In Character Expectations

Absolutely no plagiarism will be tolerated.
Again, quotes and the like are okay as long as you properly credit the source.
Sexual threads, while allowed, are governed by a very specific set of guidelines that MUST be followed.
All threads with content of a sexual nature that verges on erotica must be posted inside the 18+ Forum. Failure to post smut/erotica in this section will earn you and your partner a warning if not a possible ban. A minor reading erotica is cause for legal action which is something we will avoid at all costs. Therefore, the penalty for posting such writing outside of the Adult Forum will earn you a possible ban.
Both you and your character must be over the age of 18 to participate in sex. There is not exception to this. NO UNDERAGE SEX OF ANY KIND.
If at all possible, simply mark your topic as 'Mature' in the regular forums and "fade to black".
If a thread looks like it's turning explicit, stop. Cut it off there. Post a new thread in the Adult Section.
Any thread that has excessive violence (i.e. detailed torture scenes of someone removing limbs, organs, etc.) must be posted in the Adult Section.
If you're confused as to what should go in the Adult Section and what should not, please PM a local prophet and we'll let you know.
If you would like access to the Adult Section, please post a PSF ticket in the Prophet Support Forum stating that you are over 18 and wish to have access. If it is found that you are not over the age of 18 and have access to this forum, you will be permanently banned from this site.
Standing Trials and its Staff are ultimately not responsible and will not be held accountable for the actions or content of the players and what they read. Though we attempt to govern mature content, we cannot prevent individuals from viewing writing that follows our guidelines. By registering and/or viewing this site, you are agreeing to these terms.
Controlling other player characters without explicit consent made plainly obvious in the thread is forbidden. If found god-modding in a thread, then you automatically forfeit any rewards gained in the thread.
Write within your skill level at all times. Novices will make mistakes and that's to be expected.
Though there's no limit on the amount of accounts you can have registered, only 5 (five) player characters can be registered to actively roleplay in a season. Anyone found in violation of this rule will be forbidden from posting until the issue is corrected. See this thread for more info.
If you have multiple characters, then you CANNOT have more than two registered in a city at a time. Your characters can't interact with each other in any way, shape, or form.
Transferring items/funds/anything in any way between two of your own PCs will immediately receive a permanent ban from the site and deletion of all associated accounts.

Part 4: Images
At Standing Trials, we encourage players to use models or face claims that allow themselves and others to better visualize characters. Keep in mind that pictures are not mandatory.

Character Images...
...must be safe for work. This means that pictures may not show exposed genitalia or depict one or more individuals in a sexual way.
Yes, this includes breasts. Though the Narrators understand that breasts are not primary sex organs, many individuals throughout the world don't feel the same way.

Images in general...
...may not originate from animated media (including cartoons, movies, and anime).
...cannot depict real people engaging in activities that are illegal in the United States. This includes (but is not limited to) underage drinking, recreational drug use, and acts of a violent or cruel nature. Activities members choose to engage in outside of the site are none of our concern, but if we have reason to be concerned for a person's safety then we will intervene.

If you have doubts about whether or not you can post a specific picture, the answer is no.

Consequences

ToU Violations:
Anyone found using Standing Trials to harass, stalk, or otherwise attack anyone will be banned. If applicable, then a copy of the relevant information will be provided to law enforcement and charges will be pressed. There is absolutely no leniency on this.
Those under the age of 13 with an account on the site will have their account banned until the day of their thirteenth birthday. They will be more than welcome to re-join Standing Trials once their thirteenth birthday has passed.
Anyone caught under the age of 18 who has posted explicit content on the site will receive a ban until their 18th birthday. You must be at least 18 years of age or older to view and write explicit content.
Those who are caught making new accounts after previous accounts were caught violating Standing Trials ToU will receive an IP ban, no questions asked. All account that were on suspension will be permanently banned.
Anyone caught plagiarizing will have all their posts put on a moderator queue so that a moderator will need to look over and manually approve each post made by the individual. Further plagiarism will result in a permanent ban.
Other offenses will follow a four step warning/ban system. On the fourth warning given, an appealable ban will be issued. If it is found that, during the ban, attempts were made to bypass the ban, a permanent non-appealable ban will be issued to any and all accounts associated with the banned account. The warnings are given a shelf life so that players can be rewarded for their good behavior and willingness to follow the guidelines and rules placed upon them by agreeing to the ToU.

Chat Violations:
First offense in chat will receive a warning, which is recorded against the players account, and if applicable will also receive a chat ban. Attempts to bypass the ban will result in more severe consequences. If the offense is more serious, then a moderator may elect to ban the offender and a vote will be called for permanent ban. This is on a case by case basis and requires the majority vote of all Team Leads and the entirety of the Advocate team. All chat bans are logged by the moderators. If an individual repeatedly makes trouble in chat, then they may lose their chat privileges.

IC Violations:
Violators of the rules about explicit threads will receive one-and only one-warning. Failure to comply after that will result in a permanent ban.
Anyone found godmodding in a thread forfeits any grade they would have received. If the godmodding continues, then the individual will be rewarded with a ban.
Those with multiple active accounts will have all their accounts suspended until the issue is resolved. Continued violation of the rules on active accounts may result in a ban.
Any item transference between two accounts owned by the same person earns an immediate and permanent ban.

Moderators have the right to discipline in other ways at their discretion.

These rules will be modified over time to suit the needs of the site as the community grows larger. Please remember to bookmark this forum as to avoid being caught off guard by rule changes. Thank you!

Standing Trials: Rules & Regulations For Roleplaying Success

It is mandatory that every member of Standing Trials reads through the rules and regulations so that we can avoid unnecessary questions and drama. Though it is important to understand the aspect of the game before playing it, if anyone feels confused about certain rules, you are more than welcome to send me a PM regarding the rules. Furthermore, everyone is bound to the rules, including myself. If for any reason you suspect someone of violating the rules of the game, please be sure to notify me with proof of their violation so that we can proper deal with the player in question. With that aside, let's begin.

Registration

When you first register for the site, your user name must be the name of your character. In the control panel is an option for you to hide information, edit information, and add a signature and avatar picture. Cartoons and/or anime avatars are not allowed. Digital paintings are the preferred type of image on the site. If you have an image posted that doesn't comply with these rules, you will be asked to change it. You, as the player, are responsible for keeping track of your skills, money, knowledge, and trials (timeline). It is not the responsibility of the moderator and will not be their responsibility. Therefore, please remember to keep track of all information regarding your character. This include your roleplays since word count will come into play when acquiring specific artifacts, knowledge, and deity blessings/curses.

What Is Expected of You

The number one goal of this game is to pull a large number of individuals together to have fun. As thrilling as it is to build a character from scratch and watch them grow, it is ruined by the lack of effort some people put into their writing. This roleplay welcomes everyone, however, the people less than dedicated to further not only their characters but their intellect as well are not appreciated here. Meaning, detailed writing is expected of you. Meaning one liners are forbidden.

You should, at minimum, be posting 200-300 words per post.

Players are allowed to create the following:
Solo Roleplays
One on One Roleplays
Group Roleplays

However, when it comes to major events that involve the cities, certain NPCs, and acquiring blessings/curses from the deities, these will need permission from a moderator before any roleplay can take place. This is where common sense and judgement come into play. We are not telling you to limit yourself in regards to character plots, we are telling you that if you think it will majorly affect and/or change your character in any way please send a higher up a message to make sure you can run the plot by yourself or with a mod.

Stick to your character's skills and knowledge. I can't stress this rule enough. Your character is not going to know how to ninja flip over a monster while swing-spiraling their sword right through the brain of the thing, and land on their feet gracefully without a scratch on them starting from bare bones. That's not possible and it's not tolerated here. Standing Trials involves a lot of combat, working with clans to ensure survivability, and dominance over certain regions. However, this is done from scratch. You cannot and will not be a conqueror when you first begin the game. That being said, pick your battles if you can...

Death is a common aspect of this game. If it wasn't, I don't think it would be as much fun. NPCs are usually the ones to keel over but players face the same risks as well. You are not immortal and, yes, your character ages. When exploring the world of Idalos, be sure to know when to fight and when not to fight. Battles are conducted completely through roleplaying without the use of dice. Please, please, PLEASE... Don't make me have to make your roll for hit or misses. This is relating to the rule above, play by your character's skill set. If the other character has a boat load of points in hand to hand combat whilst you only have two, do you think you're really going to be able to stop their fists from hitting your character's face? No, not really.

Open Door Policy, Maturity, Attitude, and Honesty. All of these tie into a great, thriving community. Without these characteristics, most communities will crumble from drama, player abandonment, and power struggles. I want to avoid this from happening and hopefully, grow this into an official site. Please be mature and respectful not only to yourself but to others as well. New players are encouraged to ask questions whether it's on the Q&A forum, through PM, or through chat. Experienced players are asked to have patience and be welcoming. Everyone was new at some point. Remember when you first started roleplaying? Did it involve these '~~'? Or these '**' '--'? Give the same courtesy to others as you would want people to give to you.

That being said, don't act like a baby if someone calls you out on a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, it's apart of the human code. We are bound to screw up in some way. Also, if you did not meet specific requirements and did not receive the points/items/markings/etc. you were expecting, then for the love of god, don't rant about it. This is an advance roleplay. As you advance, things will get tougher. So don't whine.

However, if you feel you were giving rewards that did not meet your efforts, send a moderator a message with the link to your thread and we'll take a look at it.

Please make sure that your posts are legible. I highly encourage post decoration and the use of BBCode, images, and color coding. Let's try to remember that as pretty as the post might look, that our partners need to be able to read it.

Players are allowed to have up to 5 characters. No more than that. I'll tell you now, you're not being sneaky if you try to create more than that. I have ways and I know my resources. I'll leave it at that.

These rules are bound to change and/or update as players come into the game. Please keep this forum bookmarked so that you're not caught off guard when it comes to rule changes.

Player Terms of Use

2019-04-08T14:44:14Z

Mr Spud:

Standing Trials: Rules and Expectations of All Users

The Website: Standing Trials (http://www.standingtrials.com/), referred to through the rest of this thread as "the website", "our website", "the site", "our site", "Standing Trials", and "Trials".
You: The person reading these words right now.
The Staff: All users who are identified as administrators/moderators (http://standingtrials.com/memberlist.php?mode=leaders) on the site. "We", "us", "our", "ours", "staff", "Prophet", "Prophets", "Narrator", "Narrators", "Versifier", "Versifiers", "Minstrel", "Minstrels", "Poet", "Poets", and "the team".
Real World: Anything that takes place in real life. "Real life", "out of character", and "OOC".

By using the website Standing Trials, you agree to follow the rules laid out in this thread as well as rules given by official staff members of the site (known as Narrators, Minstrels, and Poets). If in doubt, a Minstrel's word overrides a Poet's, and a Narrator's word will override any other. Ignorance of these rules is no excuse for not following them.

The following wall of text has been made tiny because it's in all caps, but basically says that we are not responsible for anything that goes wrong.

THE WEBSITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTY OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTIES' RIGHTS, AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INCIDENTAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE OR ITS CONTENT WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH STATES, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

You must be above the age of 13 (thirteen) years old to use this website. If you're twelve and your birthday is in a week, then wait and come back to register. We appreciate your enthusiasm for Standing Trials, but because the website is hosted in the United States, we're subject to laws of the United States of America and can be prosecuted for not following them. Though we try our best to ensure all content posted on Standing Trials remains tasteful, sometimes things may slip by us.

Links to external sites may be placed on our own website from time to time. We are not responsible for any content that can be found on any of these external sites. If you have a problem with content found on an external website that was linked to here, you are free to let an appropriate staff member know, but we can't do much about it.

The staff of Standing Trials reserves the right to edit or change any of these rules at any time without warning.

Part 1: Terms of Use

Remain respectful of all others on the site. Treat fellow members as you'd want to be treated yourself.
Do not harass, bully, threaten, or otherwise attack anyone on Standing Trials.
Your username must be your character's name, a derivative of it, an alias, or something similar. At no time should you use numbers or symbols, though spaces are acceptable. Usernames for Prophets must be words commonly recognized in the English language.
Keep it tasteful. Refrain from using excessive foul language or graphic depictions of sexual acts or violence. If you wouldn't want a ten-year-old or your grandmother reading it, don't post it.
Use the English language only on this site. It's okay to carry out a conversation with another person over PMs in German or another language, but when posting on the forums themselves stick to English.
Note: It's okay to use the occasional word or phrase in a foreign language. Moderation is key.
Using languages other than English and languages unique to Standing Trials while you are in character is forbidden.
You are allowed to swear. ("fuck", "shit", "bitch", etc.) You may not harass others. Excessive use of foul language will earn you a permanent spot in the Staff Post Checker and may result in us forbidding the use of swears on the site.
Leave the following potentially sensitive material off the site chat or OOC discussions.
Real life religion
Real life politics
Real life current events
Real life illegal activities-including, but not limited to, drug use, piracy, underage drinking, theft, and rape.
Racism, sexism, discriminatory language, slurs, and other harassment.
Be aware of the rules of the United States government. If something is dubiously legal, leave it off the site.
If in doubt about anything, either contact a Prophet about the material in question or just don't post it.
All in-character written content (including character sheets) must be original.
Things such as theme songs or quotes are fine, as long as proper credit is given to the source. Credit can be as simple as "Song Title" - Artist.

Part 2: Chat Rules

By logging into the site's chat (http://www.standingtrials.com/chat/) you agree to follow all rules outlined here as well as the rules that govern the rest of the site. Ignorance is not an excuse or a valid defense.

Listen to all directives given by chat moderators or administrators (usually identified with green and red names, respectively, though this depends on your selected chat style).
Respect your fellow chatters.
Do not whine, rant, complain, or otherwise vent about your personal life and/or issues in chat.
Under absolutely no circumstance will conversations of a sexual nature be allowed in chat.
If asked to stop discussing a subject by anyone else in chat, stop. Drop it. Don't bring it back up a few minutes later, don't continue the conversation in whispers.
Make your best effort to answer any questions asked of you. If this means directing the asker to someone who's more capable of helping them, so be it, but attempt to answer questions first.
Keep the conversation related to Standing Trials. If you can draw a clear line between whatever it is you're talking about and the world of Standing Trials, then it's okay, but you must be able to provide clarification to a moderator if asked.

Part 3: In Character Expectations

Absolutely no plagiarism will be tolerated.
Again, quotes and the like are okay as long as you properly credit the source.
Sexual threads, while allowed, are governed by a very specific set of guidelines that MUST be followed.
All threads with content of a sexual nature that verges on erotica must be posted inside the 18+ Forum. Failure to post smut/erotica in this section will earn you and your partner a warning if not a possible ban. A minor reading erotica is cause for legal action which is something we will avoid at all costs. Therefore, the penalty for posting such writing outside of the Adult Forum will earn you a possible ban.
Both you and your character must be over the age of 18 to participate in sex. There is not exception to this. NO UNDERAGE SEX OF ANY KIND.
If at all possible, simply mark your topic as 'Mature' in the regular forums and "fade to black".
If a thread looks like it's turning explicit, stop. Cut it off there. Post a new thread in the Adult Section.
Any thread that has excessive violence (i.e. detailed torture scenes of someone removing limbs, organs, etc.) must be posted in the Adult Section.
If you're confused as to what should go in the Adult Section and what should not, please PM a local prophet and we'll let you know.
If you would like access to the Adult Section, please send Jade a PM stating that you are over the age of 18. If it is found that you are not over the age of 18 and have access to this forum, you will be permanently banned from this site.
Standing Trials and its Staff are ultimately not responsible and will not be held accountable for the actions or content of the players and what they read. Though we attempt to govern mature content, we cannot prevent individuals from viewing writing that follows our guidelines. By registering and/or viewing this site, you are agreeing to these terms.
Controlling other player characters without explicit consent made plainly obvious in the thread is forbidden. If found god-modding in a thread, then you automatically forfeit any rewards gained in the thread.
Write within your skill level at all times. Novices will make mistakes and that's to be expected.
Though there's no limit on the amount of accounts you can have registered, only 5 (five) player characters can be registered to actively roleplay in a season. Anyone found in violation of this rule will be forbidden from posting until the issue is corrected. See this thread for more info.
If you have multiple characters, then you CANNOT have more than two registered in a city at a time. Your characters can't interact with each other in any way, shape, or form.
Transferring items/funds/anything in any way between two of your own PCs will immediately receive a permanent ban from the site and deletion of all associated accounts.

Part 4: Images
At Standing Trials, we encourage players to use models or face claims that allow themselves and others to better visualize characters. Keep in mind that pictures are not mandatory.

Character Images...
...must be safe for work. This means that pictures may not show exposed genitalia or depict one or more individuals in a sexual way.
Yes, this includes breasts. Though the Narrators understand that breasts are not primary sex organs, many individuals throughout the world don't feel the same way.

Images in general...
...may not originate from animated media (including cartoons, movies, and anime).
...cannot depict real people engaging in activities that are illegal in the United States. This includes (but is not limited to) underage drinking, recreational drug use, and acts of a violent or cruel nature. Activities members choose to engage in outside of the site are none of our concern, but if we have reason to be concerned for a person's safety then we will intervene.

If you have doubts about whether or not you can post a specific picture, the answer is no.

Consequences

ToU Violations:
Anyone found using Standing Trials to harass, stalk, or otherwise attack anyone will be banned. If applicable, then a copy of the relevant information will be provided to law enforcement and charges will be pressed. There is absolutely no leniency on this.
Those under the age of 13 with an account on the site will have their account banned until the day of their thirteenth birthday. They will be more than welcome to re-join Standing Trials once their thirteenth birthday has passed.
Anyone caught under the age of 18 who has posted explicit content on the site will receive a ban until their 18th birthday. You must be at least 18 years of age or older to view and write explicit content.
Those who are caught making new accounts after previous accounts were caught violating Standing Trials ToU will receive an IP ban, no questions asked. All account that were on suspension will be permanently banned.
Anyone caught plagiarizing will have all their posts put on a moderator queue so that a moderator will need to look over and manually approve each post made by the individual. Further plagiarism will result in a permanent ban.
Other offenses will follow a four step warning/ban system. On the fourth warning given, an appealable ban will be issued. If it is found that, during the ban, attempts were made to bypass the ban, a permanent non-appealable ban will be issued to any and all accounts associated with the banned account. The warnings are given a shelf life so that players can be rewarded for their good behavior and willingness to follow the guidelines and rules placed upon them by agreeing to the ToU.

Chat Violations:
First offense in chat will receive a warning, which is recorded against the players account, and if applicable will also receive a chat ban. Attempts to bypass the ban will result in more severe consequences. If the offense is more serious, then a moderator may elect to ban the offender and a vote will be called for permanent ban. This is on a case by case basis and requires the majority vote of all Team Leads and the entirety of the Advocate team. All chat bans are logged by the moderators. If an individual repeatedly makes trouble in chat, then they may lose their chat privileges.

IC Violations:
Violators of the rules about explicit threads will receive one-and only one-warning. Failure to comply after that will result in a permanent ban.
Anyone found godmodding in a thread forfeits any grade they would have received. If the godmodding continues, then the individual will be rewarded with a ban.
Those with multiple active accounts will have all their accounts suspended until the issue is resolved. Continued violation of the rules on active accounts may result in a ban.
Any item transference between two accounts owned by the same person earns an immediate and permanent ban.

Moderators have the right to discipline in other ways at their discretion.

These rules will be modified over time to suit the needs of the site as the community grows larger. Please remember to bookmark this forum as to avoid being caught off guard by rule changes. Thank you!

Standing Trials: Rules & Regulations For Roleplaying Success

It is mandatory that every member of Standing Trials reads through the rules and regulations so that we can avoid unnecessary questions and drama. Though it is important to understand the aspect of the game before playing it, if anyone feels confused about certain rules, you are more than welcome to send me a PM regarding the rules. Furthermore, everyone is bound to the rules, including myself. If for any reason you suspect someone of violating the rules of the game, please be sure to notify me with proof of their violation so that we can proper deal with the player in question. With that aside, let's begin.

Registration

When you first register for the site, your user name must be the name of your character. In the control panel is an option for you to hide information, edit information, and add a signature and avatar picture. Cartoons and/or anime avatars are not allowed. Digital paintings are the preferred type of image on the site. If you have an image posted that doesn't comply with these rules, you will be asked to change it. You, as the player, are responsible for keeping track of your skills, money, knowledge, and trials (timeline). It is not the responsibility of the moderator and will not be their responsibility. Therefore, please remember to keep track of all information regarding your character. This include your roleplays since word count will come into play when acquiring specific artifacts, knowledge, and deity blessings/curses.

What Is Expected of You

The number one goal of this game is to pull a large number of individuals together to have fun. As thrilling as it is to build a character from scratch and watch them grow, it is ruined by the lack of effort some people put into their writing. This roleplay welcomes everyone, however, the people less than dedicated to further not only their characters but their intellect as well are not appreciated here. Meaning, detailed writing is expected of you. Meaning one liners are forbidden.

You should, at minimum, be posting 200-300 words per post.

Players are allowed to create the following:
Solo Roleplays
One on One Roleplays
Group Roleplays

However, when it comes to major events that involve the cities, certain NPCs, and acquiring blessings/curses from the deities, these will need permission from a moderator before any roleplay can take place. This is where common sense and judgement come into play. We are not telling you to limit yourself in regards to character plots, we are telling you that if you think it will majorly affect and/or change your character in any way please send a higher up a message to make sure you can run the plot by yourself or with a mod.

Stick to your character's skills and knowledge. I can't stress this rule enough. Your character is not going to know how to ninja flip over a monster while swing-spiraling their sword right through the brain of the thing, and land on their feet gracefully without a scratch on them starting from bare bones. That's not possible and it's not tolerated here. Standing Trials involves a lot of combat, working with clans to ensure survivability, and dominance over certain regions. However, this is done from scratch. You cannot and will not be a conqueror when you first begin the game. That being said, pick your battles if you can...

Death is a common aspect of this game. If it wasn't, I don't think it would be as much fun. NPCs are usually the ones to keel over but players face the same risks as well. You are not immortal and, yes, your character ages. When exploring the world of Idalos, be sure to know when to fight and when not to fight. Battles are conducted completely through roleplaying without the use of dice. Please, please, PLEASE... Don't make me have to make your roll for hit or misses. This is relating to the rule above, play by your character's skill set. If the other character has a boat load of points in hand to hand combat whilst you only have two, do you think you're really going to be able to stop their fists from hitting your character's face? No, not really.

Open Door Policy, Maturity, Attitude, and Honesty. All of these tie into a great, thriving community. Without these characteristics, most communities will crumble from drama, player abandonment, and power struggles. I want to avoid this from happening and hopefully, grow this into an official site. Please be mature and respectful not only to yourself but to others as well. New players are encouraged to ask questions whether it's on the Q&A forum, through PM, or through chat. Experienced players are asked to have patience and be welcoming. Everyone was new at some point. Remember when you first started roleplaying? Did it involve these '~~'? Or these '**' '--'? Give the same courtesy to others as you would want people to give to you.

That being said, don't act like a baby if someone calls you out on a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, it's apart of the human code. We are bound to screw up in some way. Also, if you did not meet specific requirements and did not receive the points/items/markings/etc. you were expecting, then for the love of god, don't rant about it. This is an advance roleplay. As you advance, things will get tougher. So don't whine.

However, if you feel you were giving rewards that did not meet your efforts, send a moderator a message with the link to your thread and we'll take a look at it.

Please make sure that your posts are legible. I highly encourage post decoration and the use of BBCode, images, and color coding. Let's try to remember that as pretty as the post might look, that our partners need to be able to read it.

Players are allowed to have up to 5 characters. No more than that. I'll tell you now, you're not being sneaky if you try to create more than that. I have ways and I know my resources. I'll leave it at that.

These rules are bound to change and/or update as players come into the game. Please keep this forum bookmarked so that you're not caught off guard when it comes to rule changes.

The Warning System

2019-04-08T14:41:18Z

Mr Spud: Created page with "Herein is a detailed guide that describes, defines, and discusses the warning system we use on Standing Trials. All warnings are given out in response to breaches of the [htt..."

Herein is a detailed guide that describes, defines, and discusses the warning system we use on Standing Trials. All warnings are given out in response to breaches of the [https://www.standingtrials.com/wiki/index.php?title=Player_Terms_of_Use ToU]. Therefore we would strongly urge all players to be fully aware of the ToU and keep them in mind at all time.

=The Warning System=

The warning system used on Standing Trials is a stepped one, with increasing consequences if another warning is given within a particular time frame.

* Official Warning 1 - 3 month shelf life
* Official Warning 2 - 6 month shelf life
* Official Warning 3 - 9 month shelf life
* Official Warning 4 - site ban 1 - 9 month wait for appeal
<br>
<br>
The first site ban is able to be appealed in nine months time. If this stage is reached again there is no appeal allowed.

The individual remains on their current warning level for the specified “shelf life” time. If another breach of the ToU occurs during the ‘shelf life’ of the warning, the player will be put onto the next level of warning and the shelf life for that warning will start from that date.

Additionally chat bans are given out whenever the violation takes place (in whole or part) in either the official discord server or any other discord server pertaining to Standing Trials in which there is mod presence. Chat ban, in accordance to the warnings:

* Warning 1 - 2 week exclusion from chat
* Warning 2 - 3 week exclusion from chat
* Warning 3 - 4 week exclusion from chat
<br>
<br>
If you are given a warning, you will be sent a PM by a member of the Advocate team. You should note that this will be permanently recorded in your Player Notes, a thread visible by all staff. Even when the duration of the warning has expired, the Player Notes remain.

==Extreme Circumstances==
Any illegal activity, with proof of said activity,or extreme behaviour which is beyond the realm of a usual breach - will constitute a vote of all current Team Leads and the entire Advocate Team. This might include something like extreme harassment or a racist attack, etc. This is actioned only when there is an 80% or higher vote for extreme circumstances to be used; when it is, it is an immediate, and permanent ban. Any illegal activity that falls under this purview is to have a 24 hour time limit on the vote. After 24 hours, a majority will be determined based on the number of votes recieved, and not by the total amount of Team Leads + Advocates.

==Who Does This Apply To?==
Simply put, this applies to everyone, be they staff or player. However, it is important to note that the warning is given to the person, not an individual account. If you have five PCs and a Mod account, you don’t get to be on Warning 2 on one, Warning 1 on another etc. The Warning Level is specific to the player, no matter what their role on Standing Trials.

=Definitions=

==Shelf life==
Shelf life is the length of time the warning remains in effect. It begins on the date the warning was given, and expires at a specified time. refers to a given length of time, based on the particular warning. At the end of the given term (the amount of time required for the warning), so long as there hasn’t been subsequent warnings given, the warnings are cleared and the individual is treated as if they have had no warnings.

==ToU==
This refers to the Terms of Use that are established for the site of Standing Trials. The ToU applies to Standing Trials itself, as well as all sub parts of Standing Trials, such as but not limited to, the main Discord Server, and any City based Discord Server.

==Ban==
A ban refers to the removal of access to a given item. Chat bans refer to the removal of access to the Main Discord Server and any subsequent Discord Servers in which Advocates are present, such as but not limited to, City Discord Servers. Whereas a site ban is exclusion from the site itself.

==Grandfathering==
This term is used to describe the process in which old warnings from the previous system are brought forward and in line with the new system.

==Level==
This term is used to describe what number or ‘level’ of warning the individual is on.

=Grandfathering=
If the individual has any warnings at the time of implementation of this system, they are treated as if they are at the same level in the new system. Meaning that if an individual only has one Official Warning, then they are treated as if they are on Warning 1. Shelf life begins from the date the warning was given. This is retroactive.

For individuals who have returned from an appealed ban they are to be placed on Warning 2. Shelf life begins at the date of the individuals return.

Individuals who are currently banned at the time of implementation and have not had an appeal, are required to wait 9 months from the date of implementation of this system before they are allowed to appeal their ban.

=Appeals=

Individuals are allowed to appeal their ban after 9 months, in which time no further ToU violations may occur. In order to apply for an appeal the individual may contact any member of staff, explaining why they wish to appeal their ban and anything they’d like us to know in regards to their previous behavior, who will then bring the appeal forward to the rest of the staff who will then vote. Please note: any attempt to circumvent bans and premature returns to the site will be met with immediate re-ban and will move the player to the point of no appeals.

One of the things that there is no doubt of, it's that people talk. Even though Kes is largely isolated, he still sees other people from time to time. One such time (you decide where / when depending on your writing), Kes hears talk from some fellow Biqaj of a family that sounds far, far too like his own to be anyone else. The group who are talking are discussing his father and Kes overhears them all agreeing that they never thought anything would stop Kolrim, but meeting his wife had made all the difference to him. One of them shrugs, though, and adds, "Since he's on his own again now, I wonder if he'll go back?" There's general agreement from the small group that it is a very interesting question.

...does Kes investigate, or is the past best left just there?

= History =
<p style="font-size:14px;">Thetros is one of the oldest Immortals known to Idalos as his compassion for both his followers and the race, Lotharro, he looks after provide protection, home, and comfort to the Immortal when the need arises. He is the embodiment of passion and sanctuary, finding ways to appreciate all things while still having a moral standing to protect those that are truly supporting the world or at least, are attempting to. For this, the Immortal sometimes intervenes when he should not, gaining him Immortal enemies that his followers resist.
<br>
<br>
Like Ilaren, he often manifests traits unfitting of his age, such as boisterous behavior and brash humor. However, he is one of the most beloved among Mortals in that he can always be expected to provide a place of guidance, harmony and compassion. One of the most unique things about Thetros is his ability to remain supportive regardless of one's commitment or doctrine; to provide guidance and support for anyone regardless of their affiliations and beliefs. He will provide support and respect for a good, kind man as much as he will provide support to a serial murderer who is looking to redeem their ways.
<br>
<br>
This is, as he often says, due to a commitment towards mortality in all of its variations. If one is to support intelligent life in Idalos, they must support all variations and renditions of it— the good and the bad. He cares not for race, belief, creed, morality, mage or non mage. The journey is the joy in life, and the things you perform on your path are no one's business but your own.
<br>
<br>
Of course, this means that Thetros himself - despite his psychological outlook - often falls to an in-group, out-group mentality. His followers can be anything; thieves, murderers, Kings. However, to provide sanctuary and protect them as they go about their journey means to punish others for endangering them, even perhaps from retribution and justice. He has often been criticized for his excessive defense of cruel and loathed individuals, though he rationalizes that his actions are not supporting of evil but rather the rehabilitation of loathsome individuals.
<br>
<br>
He is selective of who he marks and when he does decide, he does so fully believing that they will forge a lifelong friendship or relationship. Thetros is one of the most likely Immortals to engage in a romantic relationship with his followers, and has often had many love interests within his flock at a singular time. His passion is immense and must always be shared; his love for his followers grows and so does his desire to protect them and guide them in their journey.
<br>
<br>
It is due to his love of mortals that Thetros tries to avoid dealing with his Immortal brethren, feeling a certain mundaneness in his kind. As such, his history with his own kind is very limited. </p>

=Cycle of Reincarnation=
<p style="font-size:14px;">Unlike other Immortals, Thetros is known to possess a great weakness, and also a great strength. Every two centuries, the Immortal goes into a deep slumber, lasting from the season of Vhalar to Ashan. Even he is not exempt from the process of reincarnation, which in his case, acts as a great renewal. Near the end of every cycle, the Immortal begins to contemplate, reflect, and remember the times of old. He grows wise, but callous, and jaded towards the world around him. More than anything, he grows fearful, pained by his vulnerability.
<br>
<br>
It was at the end of a previous cycle, in Arc 317, where Thetros created the Lotharro, fearful of the pervasive effect that the Immortal's War had on the Fields of Gauthrel. They were spawned originally as his protectors, providing the motivation for their strength, endurance, passion and protective instinct. Since then, the Lotharen have served as his defenders, and the Fields of Gauthrel their training grounds, protecting him from the wrath of enemy Immortals or ambitious men.
<br>
<br>
When Thetros awakens from his cycle of reincarnation, he is wholly changed. His passion intensifies, and it is often said that around him, so does the passion of others. The beginning of Thetros' new cycle is a time of celebration in Uthaldria that lasts for a whole arc, during which exists a time of great peace, compassion and celebration of life among all those surrounding the newly awoken Immortal.
<br>
<br>
During his slumber, Thetros is capable of acknowledging the calls of his followers, and still provides his marked the power to utilize their abilities. All Devotion points, etc, are recorded as normal.</p>

= Appearance =
<p style="font-size:14px;">
Thetros appears as a young man in his late twenties. He can often be found wearing simple clothes such as form-fitting doublets and trousers, often basic colors like white or black. He is exceptionally tall, standing at nearly 7', with a very muscular form. He is said to appear as if "lost in thought", save for when found with his followers or his Lotharro creations, in which case he will appear as jovial and playful to many. In terms of where he makes his appearances, he can be found where there is great suffering or great joy - this is due to him seeking to understand the mortal mind, finding it to be the greatest complexity in the known universe, a thing capable of changing the world around it.
</p>

=Memories of the Past=
<p style="font-size:14px;">When first created, Thetros shared a curiosity of the world that was reflected in his creator, Brel'tek. Like his other creations, Brel'tek cherished time spent between him and Thetros as the two would often times spend breaks discussing the many topics of life, the world, and the great beyond. Thetros never quite had an attachment the way he did with his creator, and so, when the Great Shattering occurred, the Immortal was lost in his grief and sought comfort in the lonely, quite hills of the Fields of Guathrel. Time gave way to the appearance of Mortals and with it, a tension so palpable between the Immortals, Thetros could feel it in ideal conversations with his brethren.
<br>
<br>
When the war brought out, Thetros remained secluded to the fields with a new found love for the sanctuary they offered from the world. As fractures became more apparent, as well as twisted, mutated beasts, the poison from such things and the war at hand began to shift and change the lands. Attempting his best to keep the Fields from becoming obliterated by the war, Thetros gave his all to protect them and the creatures and humans residing in them. Over time, as the world came back from the brick of death, the Lotharro— his prized and beloved creation and the city of Uthaldria were established.</p>

=Presently=
<p style="font-size:14px;">Presently, Thetros is residing in Uthaldria, under protection of the Lotharro.

Your mother had always been a mystery to you, something that was ever in reach but further away than the stars. A chanced event with your father clarified much of your questions and even gave you a small image of who she was as a person. However, your Sev'ryn nature sought to find the roots of your heritage and while your father sent you on your way with his blessing, he also provided a small clue, a letter, that would help lead you to Desnind.

The letter was addressed to your father from your Aunt, Najina, who had requested some time ago to see you. Due to family conflicts, he felt it best to stay away from his wife's homeland but now that you're venturing out into the world, those ideals have changed. Apparently the family that your mother hailed from was quite respected within the Sev'ryn community. How much standing did they have, one cannot be too sure. Nevertheless, your Aunt Najina would like to meet you and teach you the Way of the People.

<div id="mw-customcollapsible-501" class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">

Lei'nox adored Jo'qan (Vega's father) with every ounce of her soul and there was no doubt in her mind. She knew that he was the one for her and she left with him without hesitation. For all that her temper was quick and her tongue sharp, she loved her husband with everything.

Which is why she never told him.

Lei'nox and Joq'an had been to a biqaj gathering; no one from Joq'an's former clan, of course, but still it was good for him to be among his own people, she knew. There were lots of biqaj there and Joq'an had been drawn into a game ~ some kind of card game or such. Lei'nox had gone to stand and look at the ocean, looking south to Desnind. She missed her home, her people, her family. She knew her place was here at her husband's side and she did not regret her decision, but still. She missed her home. Hearing a sound behind her, she turned to look as one of the biqaj males approached her. She'd seen him throughout the night, with his dark red hair and his eyes which seemed to almost flicker. He smiled at her ~ not a pleasant expression ~ and as his hand closed over her throat, he spoke the only two words she ever heard from him.

"Hello, pretty."

Joq'an had already lost so much and Lei'nox knew that he would end up tearing the world apart to find the man who forced himself on her that night, and so she never told him. Fear filled her when she found out she was pregnant, but she kept her secret and took it with her to her grave. She'd had no idea that the man who had raped her was Faldrun, she thought him to simply be a biqaj male. For his part, Faldrun saw, wanted, and took. Then, of course, he forgot.

<div id="mw-customcollapsible-502" class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">

'''Fire Forged Ability'''

When Vega looses her temper, she becomes immune to fire. She is able to walk on hot coals, or through flames, and whilst doing the latter would burn through her clothes, she would be untouched. As her skill in meditation increases (I've chosen this one, cos she's currently rubbish at it - she has a high Discipline), she'll be able to turn this ability on and off. At Expert, she'll start to gain some control, but not until she has mastered Meditation will she have complete control over this. When she does, it will last for 1 break maximum and, after she's used it she will be shaky and emotional. Small sparks of fire - like embers flying from a fire - will spark from her now and then for the break following using this power.

<div id="mw-customcollapsible-503" class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">

'''Truth Ability'''

Vega has always had a knack with children, and they have always been attracted to her. This ability is a passive one whereby she is someone whom children trust; they perceive her as telling the truth, and are drawn to her. When speaking to a child, Vega's instincts are to say the right thing, because she can see the truth of them. What they are wanting, thinking and feeling are very much obvious to Vega and so, she is able to simply look at a child and see the reality of their existence, emotions and physical form. This means that she can tell if a healthy child is being harmed in some way, if an apparently starving waif is faking or whatever. This means that children are drawn to her, and she is usually able to say what they need to hear in that moment. The bitter irony of this ability is, as yet, unknown to Vega. She is unable to carry a child to term; while she might get pregnant, she will inevitably miscarry.

<div id="mw-customcollapsible-504" class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">

'''Tempo Ability'''

Unlike her father, the Immortal of Turmoil, Vega is able to see the rhythm in a given situation. In combat, in her innate musical talent, in dancing or even in her worship, Vega is able to see the patterns and sense the rhythm in any circumstance. However, in order to do that, she needs to step back and take a clear look at the situation. With this ability, Vega is able to slow the tempo of a situation down, so long as she is playing an instrument or singing. When she is doing this, she is able to manipulate the tempo of a combat. This impacts up to three people and allows Vega to either speed up the tempo, for them (thus making them faster moving) or slowing it down (thus, slower). In practical terms, it allows her to speed up or slow down up to three individuals in a combat by a factor of 50%. This must be either speeding up, or slowing down and can not be both at once.

One particularly uneventful day, Thysbae would find a pair of beautiful, brown eyes watching her. The woman leaned against a house near to where Thysbae lived, and just watched her with the intense gaze of a predator. If approached, the woman wouldn't flinch or try to run. If asked why she was watching Thysbae the only response would be "I know what you did," after which time, she disappeared. But after that, another woman would appear, acting in the same way, saying the same thing. Over and over this cycle would repeat itself. Something had to change.

The revelations of prophets come in dreams, and Annchi thought herself no different.

As she would describe it to her family, she’d been visited in a dream by an [[:Category: Immortal | Immortal]]. That he had left her a blessing that would bring further greatness to the merchant family. And perhaps they might have written it off as a fever dream, if it was only the one time. But Aelig had come for his fun, to ruin the devout, and he would not leave until the deed was done.

His appearances were sporadic, sometimes once a season, sometimes a full tentrial of his presence would be gifted to her in these “dreams.” Annchi would persist each time, the denial of her family growing more fervent. “You’ll see,” she’d said, “And you’ll know.” But they did know, and they were beginning to see the signs of these visitations, these visions. Her pretty figure diminished as her zealous fire grew stronger. A wild light to her eyes as she ranted with a reverence they had not seen in her before. The playful nature of her faith had changed with each dream she was given, and there was no end that could be seen.

Not until his very last visit. Aelig arrived after near a whole season of absence, leaving Annchi to both mourn him and await his return like a wife awaiting her husband’s return from war. It was with great elation in this final dream that she welcomed him, though the light dimmed slightly within her at his solemn appearance. Clothed in the visage of [[:Category: Chamardarst | Chamadarst]], as he had first come, Aelig told her that the time had come for the gift to be given. And that it would be the last dream he would visit her in, but it would be worth it. Understandably, Annchi was torn. To have her immortal visitor leave her after his return had been enough of an upset. To have clung to each dream as a prophecy of something to come and for it to be coming to fruition was great; she would be right. But at the cost of possibly never seeing him again.

Annchi accepted, and was soon enveloped in his arms. When she awoke from this last dream, it became her mission to spread forth the holy word given to her: that she was to bring forth a child of prosperity and wealth. A girl untouched, but imbued as the carrier of greatness.

If only that had been true.

'''Inverse'''

Thysbae, three times per trial, can reverse the speech of others without their knowledge for however long he interacts with them on one topic / issue of Thysbae's choice. The opposite of the intended remark will be said and the afflicted will assume they have said what they meant to; subsequently, as long as he is within in a ten-foot radius of them, the ability remains in effect. It requires an intent to turn their words around and direct interaction with them. This can only be used on one person at a time and impedes only their speech. The drawback to this is that Thysbae himself will experience aphasia for the following three breaks of using the ability.

<div id="mw-customcollapsible-503" class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">

'''Lead Me Unto Temptation Ability'''

Thysbae is able to influence those around them of aligning ideals through speech with the purpose to persuade on a specific ideal/belief. If he believes that all mages are menaces, those around them who believe the same are drawn to them, and they show the Mortalborn deference as if they were experts on the subject. Those with Expert Meditation can resist the draw of the ability, but their ideals are bolstered still when in the area of effect. The Mortalborn, however, benefits the most from this. When at least three people are affected by this ability, the Mortalborn's powers of persuasion and rhetoric are increased in effectiveness, essentially allowing the Mortalborn to operate at a skill tier higher than they are in both skills. The drawback of this is that, should someone be present to resist the ability, the Mortalborn will be inclined to follow one of their beliefs and others are no longer drawn to them.

'''Assimilate Ability'''

Activated thrice per trial, this ability allows Thysbae to blend into any group of six or more that share a common ground, whether it be political ideal, heritage or religious belief. Temporarily imbuing the Mortalborn with the ability to speak the shared language, or have knowledge of the shared religious or political views, so as to allow the Mortalborn to blend in. While it does not alter appearances, it does allow the MB to blend into the culture around him or herself. However, Thysbae is not privy to how slang translates across generational and social groups. After a break, the knowledge and ability to speak the shared language recede, leaving the Mortalborn with temporary confusion and amnesia of his personality. This lasts a break as well, and is accompanied by self-destructive tendencies and fatigue. Additionally, this ability cannot be used in successive breaks, meaning that at least one break, and the ability's negative effects, must occur in between uses. The negative effects of this further contribute to his crumbling psyche and formation of further personalities.

Mr Spud: /* Introduction */

Using the Wiki

Mr Spud: /* Searching The Wiki */

{{#pagetitle: A Guide to Using the Wiki}}
[[File:Yrmellyn_06.jpg|right | 450px]]
=Standing Trials Wiki=
The Wiki on Standing Trials is the repository for all information. It contains our lore, rules, player notes and much more. It is vital that you, as a player, become familiar with it. This guide will take you through the process of navigating the wiki, showing you the many features.
<br>
It is definitely worth while utilising your bookmarks for this wiki and, since we are an ever-evolving site - it's also always worth keeping an eye on the current news on-site.
<br>
<br>
If you spot any errors, such as spelling or grammar mistakes, please report them in the [https://www.standingtrials.com/viewforum.php?f=116 Bugs & Suggestions] subforum. Clicking on that link will navigate you away from the wiki.
<br>
[[File:Wiki_Guide_01.PNG |left | 130px]]

=Accessing The Wiki=
In order to access the wiki on site, you need to go to the "Quick Links" menu in the top menu bar. Click that, then click "Lore Book". This will give you a list of places in the wiki to go. '''Please see the image on the left for how that looks (in the Dark Theme).'''
<br>
<br>
Please note - these will open in a new window, so you won't lose the page of the site you're on.
<br>
<br>
Any of those Lore Book links will take you to the Wiki, they just define which part of it you arrive at.
<br>
<br>
=Navigating The Menu=
Once you're on the Wiki, the left-hand tool bar is your main navigation tool. It's got a number of aspects / features.
==Main Sections==
You can see that there are main section headings in this menu. Those look like this.
[[File:Wiki_Guide_04.PNG |center]]
Each one of those is a Wiki Section. The sections we have currently are:
[[File:Wiki_Guide_03.PNG |center]]
==Topics==
When you log on, or change page, these Wiki Sections are open and show each Wiki Topic. Each one of these is a link in it's own right and will highlight when you mouseover.
[[File:Wiki_Guide_05.PNG |center]]
Clicking on that link will take you to the "Resources" main page.
==Sub-Topics==
However, you might notice that there's a little blue triangle on the left, there. Since it's solid blue, it indicates that "Resources" has more content in a drop-down menu. Click on that blue triangle and it will show you the content.
[[File:Wiki_Guide_06.PNG |center]]
And, those have more content still. You can keep clicking
[[File:Wiki_Guide_07.PNG |center]]
Eventually, you'll come across a Wiki Topic that doesn't have any more content. The triangle for this looks different. Like in "Western Diseases" below.
[[File:Wiki_Guide_08.PNG |center]]
The thing to remember is - every Topic is a link to a page. All the information on the Wiki is reachable via that left-hand menu. It's also something which auto-updates, so as staff add and remove pages, the left hand menu is always accurate and up to date.

=Navigating The Page=
There are a number of elements to pages. Here are some basic descriptions.
==The Table of Contents==
[[File:Wiki_Guide_09.PNG|left]]
* The Table of Contents (TOC) gives you an overview of the headings / subheadings in any wiki page.
<br>
* This is only generated where there are three or more headings, so not all pages will have them.
<br>
* The names of the sections are links so, if you click on them, they'll take you to the section of the page in question.
<br>
==Links to Other Pages==
[[File:Wiki_Guide_10.PNG|left]] * Where there are links to other pages, they appear in a different colour.
<br>
* The image on the left shows a table (which you'll encounter on a number of pages) with links in it.
<br>
* The link "What About Religion" is highlighted, because the cursor is over it.
<br>
* When you mouseover a link, it will open up a small box underneath, telling you the page it links to. That can be useful if you're not sure whether you want to go there, or not!
<br>
[[File:Wiki_Guide_11.PNG|center]]
<br>
Click on the link and it takes you there. It opens in the same tab / window, so you'll navigate off the page you're currently on.

==Links to WWW==
If the page you are on has a link to a web page, it is a different colour.
[[File:Wiki_Guide_12.PNG|center]]
However, you follow it the same way, and it looks the same on mouseover. Please note, though, that when you click it, the page opens in the window you're in - so you'll navigate away from where you are.

==Pages & Subcategories==
As discussed, the left-hand menu shows where topic have sub-topics and so on as part of them. These are, in Wiki-speak, either sub-pages or sub=categories. Any page which has sub-pages or sub-categories as part of it shows at the very bottom. The word "Subcategories" appears and is highlighted on mouse-over.
[[File:Wiki_Guide_13.PNG|center]]
If the page you are on only has sub-pages (this is a largely technical detail) then it will show the following:
[[File:Wiki_Guide_14.PNG|center]]
When you click on that, it "opens" up like a drop-down menu and shows you all the subcategories / sub-pages in your current page. Each one of those is a link - that looks like this:
[[File:Wiki_Guide_15.PNG|center]]

==Collapse/Expand Features==
Sometimes,a section has a lot of information, so we put it in expand/collapse spoilers in order to make navigation easier. There are a few of these features and each one looks different.
===In Tables===
As seen in the [[Nobility Pack]], sometimes tables can be used really effectively in this way.
[[File:Wiki_Guide_16.PNG|center]]
When "expand" is clicked on, it looks like this:
[[File:Wiki_Guide_17.PNG|center]]

===Stand Alone===
Sometimes, information is put in a spoiler within the text of a page. When closed, it looks like this:
[[File:Wiki_Guide_18.PNG|center]]
Click on "expand" and it opens up. Like this!
[[File:Wiki_Guide_19.PNG|center]]

===In A Heading===
Sometimes a heading itself is a collapsible menu. When that is the case, you will be informed underneath the heading. That will look like this:
[[File:Wiki_Guide_20.PNG|center]]
When you click on the heading, it looks like this:
[[File:Wiki_Guide_21.PNG|center]]
And these can be "stacked" - so sometimes there are collapsible headings within collapsible headings. We'll always tell you!!
[[File:Wiki_Guide_22.PNG|center]]

=Searching The Wiki=
This is done by going to the search bar at the top of the left hand menu.
[[File:Wiki_Guide_23.PNG|center]]
Just type what you want to search for in there, and press enter. The magnifying glass is not clickable. You must press enter to begin the search.
[[File:Wiki_Guide_24.PNG|center]]
And, sometimes - you'll find that it returns no results at all.... which is odd!
[[File:Wiki_Guide_25.PNG|center]]
If it does that? Don't worry - just press "Everything" as the results you show - and if the page exists at all - it'll be there!
[[File:Wiki_Guide_26.PNG|center]]

Juel'rie

Mr Spud: Created page with "right =Overview= 210pxName: Juel'rie <br> Created by: Rose Greenwood <br>Race: Sev'ryn <br>Birthday/Age: 17..."

[[File:00_Words_Open_Use_NPC.png|right]]
=Overview=
[[File:Juel'rie_NPC.png |left|210px]]Name: Juel'rie
<br> Created by: Rose Greenwood
<br>Race: Sev'ryn
<br>Birthday/Age: 17 Arcs, 12th of Vhalar, Arc 702
<br>Title: Assistant Physician (Hoodless Blue Cloak)
<br>Skills:
<br>Linguistics - Expert
<br>Medicine - Competent
<br>Surgery - Competent
<br>Gardening - Novice
<br>Research - Novice

=Details:=
Juel’rie is a young Sev’ryn teenager who starter working with Rue from the age of fifteen. Her parents don’t really approve of her choice to work with the Order of the Adunih over working at the local Medicine House. However Juel’rie prefers a more orderly and scientific approach to medicine. She now works as Rue Westfield’s assistant and is learning more and more about the practice of medicine.

Juel’rie is known as being a little over-emotional at times. Her feelings are easily hurt and she is quick to show a temper if someone is rude to her. This is likely due to her age and the fact that she is still new at dealing with patients.

The young Sev’ryn speaks fluent Common and Xanthean , so she spends much of her time acting as a translator for Rue since the older woman’s grasp on the local language is only passable at best. As for her appearance Juel’rie has soft rounded features and she is quite short, only standing at a little over five feet tall. The girl also has taken to wearing more northern clothes that she sees visitors wearing, to the chagrin of her parents. Typically this means she wears colorful cotton dresses and robes, she also commonly wears a headscarf to keep her hair clean and from interfering with her work.

=Use=
* You may use Juel'rie as a teacher in any of the identified skills.
* You may use her in and around Desnind.
* You may use her in the Order of Adunih Outpost in Desnind
