F3/use is your friend. It changes table and bar tops, opens cell doors, closet doors and trap doors, stokes furnaces, lights & unlights fireplaces (not always, but some), lets you climb through sewer grates, and sometimes moves furniture around to reveal secret passages >.>  Usually you have to be facing the item/floor/wall/whatever for it to work, but sometimes you have to be on it (sewer grates, ladders, ropes).

RP Beacon
RP Finder & Staff:
RP Beacons are located around the dream in areas that are high traffic or otherwise easily accessible by teleports. When you activate one, a dreamwide emit goes out letting people know that RP is requested at that location, by the person who triggered the beacon.
F3/use - while facing a beacon/lantern to turn it on
bump - to turn a beacon back off, or it will shut itself off after an hour.

In the top left corner of the interface are buttons to retrieve the list of people in the dream, the current list of staff, the RP list and the RP availability toggle.
!rplist - displays all characters on the active list and all areas where beacons are currently active
!rpon - adds your name to the rplist
!rpoff - removes your name from the rplist. You will also be removed from the list if you leave the dream, log off, or go afk.
!staff


Eileadora Navigation:
Between the display window and the text box is a 'city map'. This offers quick teleportation around the city. There was a waterways map as well but it is being revised. Valshiem does not currently have a teleport map and it's navigation commands will be listed separately.

!ooc, !afk,  - Take you to the ooc room.
!ic  - Takes you to the ooc door in front of the tavern.
!moveooc - *Staff Only* If someone is afk/idle in a main area and in the way of RP, they may be bumped to the OOC room. Stand facing the character and type the command.

Most commands will dump you close to a corresponding RP beacon.

I can currently use 60 locals in this dream. That's a lot to keep up with and certainly too many to have a button for each, though I've tried to cover most of the more commonly used ones. The dream will save whatever your last local used was when you log out or leave the dream (if you're a member of the Furcadia Group)

First things first, this dream does not have the Furcadia 'default' avatars. All of the default player avatars have been changed to the male noble version. The females are part of the local set. The dream is coded to set your avatar based on your species/gender.  For unspecified gender it defaults to male. You can switch between genders with the gender buttons on the fourth tab, or remove the local by clicking the little X or by typing !revert

The following are sort of some side notes of how life in Eileadora would ideally be. Your character is not required to follow any of this, but where it might cause your character to be arrested, etc., it is noted.

1) Watchmen/Guards:  Typically, there are NPC guards throughout the city. They would most frequent areas around businesses and noble's homes. There would also be watchmen posted around the limits of the city, though coverage is spotty in/near the woods as the watchtowers are posted further out to watch for poachers also. The guards within the castle walls are either city guards or the Queen's Bloodsworn (or Royal Guard).  The Bloodsworn would be equivalent to a modern secret service.  If you look shady, they'll most likely stop you. If you go barging into the throne room with a group of buddies carrying weapons, they'll most likely stop you.  If you make a threat upon the Queen or the Council, they'll most likely throw you in a pretty little cell. I do try to keep the Bloodsworn to PC positions, with minimal NPC usage.

2) Castle Access:  Nobles are typically invited to court and have nearly free range of Nightwell Castle, as do other officials (Council, Bloodsworn, military, etc). Being allowed entry to the throne room to speak with the Queen and/or Council will only happen if you've been summoned, have requested an audience and been granted access, or if the Queen or Council is holding an open session. On the lower levels of the castle; the courtyard, library, records room, grand foyer and arenas are generally open to the public, though guarded. Access is granted through the great hall to access the cathedral but is otherwise only open to the general masses on certain occasions. The kitchen and castle cellars are off limits. The staircases to the upper levels of the castle are blocked to anyone below a noble rank by guards. The upper levels contain bed chambers for the Queen, Council, royal guard, diplomats and other royal guests. Along with the throne room, war room, and other official meeting halls.

3) Respect your Elders!:  Alongside the Queen is the Council. These are either respected 'elders' of the community [IE, those that have been in the continuity for a very long time] or elected officials. The Council advises the Queen on all matters for the betterment of the land and the people. They would be the highest ranking officials, under the Queen herself and would demand the respect of such. An assault against the Council or a member would be viewed as an assault against the Queen.

4) Rights of the Citizens:  In a medieval city, those who lived outside the castle, and even most of those inside, had very few rights.  The king/duke/whatever's word was law and you couldn't do much of anything about it.  Here, however, members of the High Council (aside from long-standing Elders) are elected in place by the people. They are meant to advise the Queen on what is best for the people and the nation. If the people feel a sitting council member does not have the best interests of the people or the nation at heart, they may challenge them (even an Elder) and request a reelection for the position. The current member would run again alongside whomever the people nominate.

And to go along with that...

5) Women's rights:  Typically, if we were playing totally realistically to the time period, women wouldn't have any rights.  They were the property of their fathers or husbands.  However! Things are a little different in Eileadora. The Reigning Queen has always been the most powerful individual. Even in marriage, the king would take the queens last name and rule alongside her.  There are many powerful and influential women throughout Eileadora and always have been. This doesn't mean men are lower ranking than women, merely that it is a more equal society.

6) Sanitation: Another spot we're bending things from a true medieval era (luckily), is Eilea's water filtration system. Fresh water is supplied throughout the city and waste removed, all powered by crystal tech. Noble homes and upper class businesses would have easy access to running water and sanitation. Lower class homes and shops might have to use a well and outhouse.

7) Technology: Eileadora has some major advancements over medieval life, thanks to advancements through magically charged crystals. Some of these technologies include powered lamps, the above mentioned water system, lifts, and airships, among others. If you can 'invent' something that would aid in Eileadora's development, then by all means. introduce it and we can work out how it could be made possible.

Alignment for Dummies
 
Lawful Good (Crusader) - Loyal, hard-working members of the community, or truthful and honorable fighters against evil who hate to see bad go unpunished. They believe that having an ordered society is the best way to further the common good. Example: King Arthur .
 
Neutral Good (Benefactor) - They believe that a balance somewhere between total order and total chaos is best, and would generally concentrate on doing the morally right thing without worrying about whether it was good or bad for 'society'. Example: Mother Theresa .
 
Chaotic Good (Rebel) - Strong believers in freedom who like to make their own way and hate people who bully other people and try to push them around. They will often have a strong moral code which may not agree with the law. Example: Robin Hood .
 
Lawful Neutral (Judge) - They are disciplined and believe that adhering to and enforcing laws and traditions is the most important thing. They will not generally go out of their way to help others but will intervene to stop crime.Example: Asimovian robots .
 
True Neutral (Undecided or Balanced) - This can mean either of two things, depending on whether the character is actively or passively neutral.Active neutrals (the Balanced type) are very rare. They are philosophically committed to maintaining the Balance, and will tend to join every fight on the losing side. Passive neutrals (the Undecided type) are somewhere in the middle on both the Good-Evil and Law-Chaos axes. The passive neutral alignment can also apply to creatures with no moral sense such as animals. Example: Zen masters (Balanced), animals (Undecided).
 
Chaotic Neutral (Free Spirit) - A strange and very rare alignment. Chaotic neutral characters are very unpredictable individualists, being governed by whatever they feel like doing at the moment. Example: Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes).
 
Lawful Evil (Dominator) - They respect the law, but have no concern for others, and tend to exploit the law to rise to power. Often they will engage in merciless, organised, planned killing. Example: Adolf Hitler.
 
Neutral Evil (Malefactor) - A purely selfish type, with no concern for other people or the law, but without as much lust for killing as Chaotic Evil characters. Example: Case (from Neuromancer by William Gibson).
 
Chaotic Evil (Destroyer) - The most dangerous characters of all, they will rove around killing and destroying for the sheer joy of it. Example: orcs .
 
If all that was too long and confusing, check this out:

Alignment Cribnotes:

Lawful Good - Lead by example, restraint, and compassion even for enemies.
Neutral Good - The rule book's stupid, but no reason to go overboard.
Chaotic Good - WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING BADGES!
Lawful Neutral - Follow the rules and don't get involved.
True Neutral - I'm not getting involved / All things must be in balance.
Chaotic Neutral - I do what I feel like at the time.
Lawful Evil - It's all part of the evil plan.
Neutral Evil - Society's rules don't pertain to me, but I'm no criminal.
Chaotic Evil - Evil plan? I have an axe... is that a plan?

1.  Introduction
Vampyre is pronounced vamp•ear when the two base words are combined. The name is a combination between vampire and funeral pyre. The Vampyre is a hybrid creature which shares similar attributes to a vampire and combines their strengths with a typical fire demon with all of their weaknesses. Because of this unique combination the Vampyre harbors several inadequacies along with some unique character traits that make the race interesting as well as challenging to play.


2.  Basic Attributes
The Vampyre have slightly increased strength and constitution compared to a mundane mortal which gives the character a minor advantage in melee combat. Agility and dexterity remain the same as what the character possessed before it was turned into a fully fledged Vampyre.

Unlike their counter-parts, the vampire, the Vampyre do not have heightened senses of the undead nor do they possess any form of night vision. In fact, the Vampyre are more active during warmer seasons and certainly more mobile during the day.

The Vampyre draw strength from warm dry areas. This trait is similar to a cold blooded reptile. It is also important to note that because of their need for warmth the Vampyre are much less active during the winter season and reactions can appear sluggish during extremely cold weather. Vampyre are also inclined to seek shelter during the night in order to sustain their body temperatures. Often they gain warmth from surrounding bodies which means Vampyre are quite drawn to public areas such as taverns and pubs.

Vampyre also harness abilities of fire conjuration once it is fully developed. A Vampyre can cast small patches of fire in the palms and if left undisturbed the Vampyre can increase the size of the fire or expand it out to catch various nearby items ablaze. Once a solid flame has been established the Vampyre can begin casting from the source until it is extinguished by over using the existing flame or until the flame is extinguished by an outside influence such as another person stomping out the fire.

This attribute is also a superior weakness to the Vampyre. Once a Vampyre has become wet the ability to cast fire is significantly reduced and the Vampyre often resorts to melee combat skills or flees.


3.  Alignment
The Vampyre culture and lifestyle are extremely important to the Vampyre. The Vampyre are trained at an early age of embrace or birth about the history and creeds of all Vampyre and their forefathers. Because of these teachings the Vampyre commonly abide a lawful evil alignment. In general the Vampyre Nation always tries to keep right in mortal law and order which gives them a sense of plausible innocence in a court of law. It is important to realize that a full fledged Vampyre with a daemon symbiotic also aligns with the unholy. Therefore Vampyre are extremely volatile to holy magic as well as an uncomfortable paranoia of holy relics such as a Vinca Solice.


4.  Religion and Rituals
Religion is extremely important to Vampyre and they often seek guidance and counseling from the dual relationship of maternal and paternal branches of their theology. The Vampyre, as the name details utilizes aspects of both vampire and demons. The duality of their belief structure gives the Vampyre the encouragement and power to continue their faith. The religion was created by the first of their kind which made bargains with pagan gods that Kasurians and Drakorians rejected from their theology. If the beings the Vampyre worship are gods or not are still debated today. Some arguments surrounding the Vampyre belief structure consist of their gods’ direct intervention in mortal affairs.

Alura is the maternal aspect of the Vampyre. She is elegant and strong-willed. She augurs the heightening intuition within the Vampyre Nation. The Vampyre will encounter the hidden inner world through interest in the occult or the esoteric or through the effects of a powerful dream or the uncanny sense that something is at work in one's life. She normally does not interfere in the affairs of the Vampyre unless it is to resolve internal feuding of her children and even then her actions are subtle. She is the aspect of the Vampyre which gives the Vampyre the personality and physical quirks of vampires. The urge to feast on blood is one of the most important quirks.
Rasteroth is the paternal aspect of the Vampyre Religion. The Vampyre will begin to actively seek answers of brutality and war. This may emerge as the study of the art of war, torture, submission, or as deep commitment to a competitive mentorship. He is strong-willed and seems to answer riddles with enigma. If Rasteroth ever directly answers a Vampyre, Rasteroth’s word is often followed by the sense of discomfort and intense guilt. Rasteroth is also charged with granting the final transition of the Vampyre with combining the mortal body with the sentient symbiotic soul of a chaotic fire demon known by a more archaic spelling of ‘daemon.’ Rasteroth often takes the physical shape and form of a giant torrent of fire that spans an unimaginable height and width. The flames swirl and barely even resemble the body of a winged dragon being. A fully embraced Vampyre may see a different image of Rasteroth and he would appear to look more physical, a giant and enormous demonic being with a crown of fire and an infinite number of swirling fiery ribbons wrapping around its body. The fire ribbons are assumed to be the lesser daemons that Rasteroth offers to the Vampyre during the ritual of daemonism.

Becoming a Vampyre is a two step process for individuals wishing to join the ranks of the Vampyre Nation. The first step is to purge the victim from all past experiences. The ritual provides the victim with the understanding to move on past old habits as wells as cleans the body for preparation for Rasteroth’s ritual to complete the transition.

Ritual of Bloodletting is the first step for a Vampyre. This ritual uses Alura as the center focus for transitioning into the Vampyre Nation. The victim is normally led alone or with an enclave of Vampyre to an isolated quiet area away from mortals. The victim is then cut at a major artery and is bled out. During the final moments of the victim’s life the victim will have the choice to die or to be reborn as a Vampyre by drinking the blood of the Vampyre engaged in the ritual. If the victim chooses to drink the Vampyre blood then the process continues. Upon digesting the Vampyre blood the victim’s body will begin to convulse and burn followed by excessive sweating and hallucinations. The victim’s stomach begins to convulse followed by vomiting bile and blood until the body is completely purged clean. The hallucinations are often images of what victim’s have described as peaceful. The hallucinations normally take on the image of a beautiful dark mistress that the Vampyre claim to be an image of Alura. The victim then dies and wakes up several days later with the urge to feast on blood. The hallucinations will continue to haunt the victim until the second ritual is completed. This ritual can be skipped if the Vampyre is naturally born between two Vampyre.

At this time the Vampyre has the vampire urge to feast on blood and sensitive to sunlight and other vampire weaknesses. The victim is alive and remains in a mental state somewhere between life and death. The victim remains slightly weaker than the state the victim was in prior to the ritual and remains this way until the ritual of daemonism. This also makes the victim extremely susceptible to attack and death. At this time the Vampyre is not immune or resistant to fire and has no significant physical attributes or natural ability of fire conjuration.

Ritual of Daemonism is the second of the rituals and is the maternal representation of the Vampyre. This ritual should take place as soon as the victim is strong enough to begin.  If the Vampyre is naturally born between two Vampyre then the ritual should take place during adolescence and no later than the mortal age of 13 years and should not take place after 21 years of age. This is done for the symbiotic relationship between the host Vampyre and Rasteroth’s Daemon. This ritual is very time consuming and physically painful. This ritual is should be performed at a Vampyre holy site where a granite statue sculpted by the Vampyre is located. Fire should also be available at the site. The victim is stripped of clothing and then completely doused in blood the victim is then sent to the shrine to await Rasteroth’s summoning. The victim is to remain there without food or blood for at least a 24 hour period. Rasteroth will choose to embrace the victim with a daemon or render the victim on fire and purge the mortal from existence. If the Vampyre host is worthy of the final embrace into the Vampyre Nation Rasteroth will summon a daemon into the body of the Vampyre. The body is burned from the inside out bombarded by chaotic insurgence of the daemon followed by a quick and painful second death. If the Vampyre is strong enough to survive the onslaught and if the daemon accepts the symbiosis then it will heal the Vampyre and return him to life a final time thus completing the transformation.

After the ritual is completed the Vampyre will have immunity to fire and receive all the strengths and weaknesses involved in Vampyre attributes. The Vampyre will have to learn to harness fire conjuration afterwards. Training is often given by peers and it is not an instantaneous attribute gifted to the Vampyre, it is earned in practiced.


5.  Duality and Personality
Fully fledged Vampyre have a strong conviction to family as well as an unexplainable urge to control the world around them. It is suspected that once Rasteroth embraces a Vampyre with a daemon there is a mechanism that is built into the subconscious mind to spread a utopian ideology through demonic measures. This may sound like a good idea but the means Vampyre go about in spreading this belief is often through zealot political pressure or through means of fear or war.

After a Vampyre is fully embraced the victim has trouble deciphering between his own thoughts and the suggestions the daemon implant in their subconscious. There is always a mental struggle for the Vampyre to keep control of his own sanity and unfortunately if the Vampyre is put into extremely stressful situations it is likely the subconscious demonic influence could and often will take advantage of the weakness.

Vampyre age slowly and show very little physical signs of actual aging. The life expectancy of a fully fledged Vampyre is unknown. This may seem to be a benefit to the Vampyre but unfortunately the mental struggle for the Vampyre to remain in control of his subconscious over the daemon causes a heavy burden. It is assumed that near the end of a Vampyre life cycle the conscious mind finally fails and the daemon takes control of the host body leaving the Vampyre extremely dangerous and unpredictable.

As the Vampyre ages and seasons it is rumored that pureblooded born Vampyre have the ability to shift forms under dire circumstances only involving self preservation. The transition is bitter as well as cruel for the mortal body of the Vampyre. The physical body is contorted and broken and aspects of the daemon become physical and present. Wings tear from the host’s back as well as armored scales begin to tear through the tender flesh at the surface. Recovering from a daemon release can take up to a month of recuperation followed by an additional month recovering from mental trauma. The daemon never entirely takes over the host body unless it is the end of the Vampyre life cycle and death is imminent.


6.  Reproduction and Lineage
Vampyre are not undead and have the ability to conceive children through sexual intercourse. Vampyre are a prideful arrogant race and would never consider sexual intercourse with anyone outside the Vampyre Nation. However, if it does occur then the offspring of a Vampyre and a non-Vampyre would yield a non-Vampyre child with significant physical and mental birth defects.

If two Vampyre conceive a child, the child will be based 1 grade lower in lineage to that of the female of the Vampyre race. For instance: if a female 2nd generation conceives a child from a 4th generation male - the child's heritage will be a 3rd generation Vampyre. If a 4th generation female conceives a child from a 1st generation male - the child will be a 5th generation Vampyre.

A Vampyre can increase his lineage through cannibalizing a higher generation Vampyre. This is commonly not performed in Vampyre culture because of the stigma attached to the act. This heinous crime is punishable by death or worse.

A more common method of Vampyre reproduction is by means of embracing a creature into the Vampyre ranks. This is done through the rituals stated above with the approval and acceptance of the victim. Similar to natural born lineage and genealogy, an embraced Vampyre will be one generation lower than the Vampyre that sacrifices his blood performing the ritual on the victim.

There are several types of creatures that can not be fully embraced and therefore avoided:

Draconic (Wyrmmes) are immune to the initial transition through the ritual of bloodletting. This particular creature can break down Vampyre blood through their metabolism which destroys the metamorphic manipulation of the Wyrmme blood.
Undead that do not have a functioning circulatory system can not successful complete the ritual of bloodletting and thus unable to become Vampyre.
Holy Aligned (Angelic) creatures born or embraced in holy alignment can not successful complete the ritual of daemonism. These types of creatures are also mortal enemies of the Vampyre. This is not to be confused with embracing mundane victims that choose to worship holy aligned deities which can be fully embraced into the Vampyre Nation.
Possessed (Demonic) creatures that are already demons or possessed by demons can not successfully complete the ritual of daemonism because the body is already home to a demonic entity. Rasteroth does not have direct ability to oust or purge demonic entities from the corporal realm.
Water Elementals and creatures similar in composition utilizing the basic elements would be unable to successfully complete the ritual of daemonism.


7.  Natural Enemies
There is an abundance of natural enemies the Vampyre have acquired throughout their existence:

Vampires are the most hated and common enemies of the Vampyre. The Vampyre are bold and believe that their vampire traits are a curse and a burden to them. The Vampyre Nation has made it a personal interest to annihilate the entire race of vampires. Naturally it is possible that temporary alliances and political agreements are made between Vampyre and vampire groups to serve a common interest. Their relationships are always short lived.
Draconic (Wyrmmes) are a natural enemy of Vampyre because of their natural resistance to the ritual of bloodletting as well as their compassionate religious theology of the Draconian Dragon.
Werewolf (Lycanthrope) is another obvious opponent to the Vampyre Nation. Werewolves have always been the enemy of vampires and because Vampyre share similar attributes to their cousins the werewolf chooses not to make a difference.
Demons are another major opponent to Vampyre. One might find this surprising as the Vampyre share demonic heritage with the unholy demonic kind, however, demons are naturally competitive entities and it is quite uncommon for demons to work together even if it serves a common purpose or goal.
Holy Aligned (Angelic) are immortal enemies to any unholy creature. Their zealot crusade of destroying all evil from the mortal world makes these enemies the most dangerous of the groups of natural opponents. It is also important to note that mundane sentient creatures that choose to worship holy aligned deities are also a significant opposition.

Etla Isle is roughly the size of Ireland. It can be found somewhat southwest of Kasuria but does not exist on the same plane (or within Furc canon standards). The magical boundaries of the island work as a sort of 'bermuda triangle', allowing ships to pass between realms for trade and RP purposes.  The land is rich with magic and has several magical ley lines that converge within it.  The weather is temperate to tropical, depending on the season.


Ruins of Avalbane - The kingdom of Avalbane was situated in the sheltered bay of Avalbane on the north end of Elta Isle. The kingdom was a lovingly crafted land of Elvish design and rule. The land has more or less reclaimed the collapsed ruins of the kingdom, with a lone marble dock and warehouse left whole in the city proper. The lighthouse on an isle at the entrance to the bay is surprisingly untouched. Visitors would find the bay waters surprisingly clear and showing signs of many wrecked ships and frightening collections of bones from what must have been colossal monstrosities. Most of those who put to shore are in short order harassed by marauding bands of orcs that have reclaimed the area as their own. Some whispers of treasures or power to be found in the castle ruins, those who have approached with the intent to disrupt them have had their charred and dismembered bodies found impaled around the site as a warning to others.

Ruins of the Enchanted Kingdom/Crystal Mines - The remains of the Enchanted Kingdom, which was once LE's home and original birthplace.  Little more than crumbled ruins now.  The castle itself caved in on itself (might have had something to do with someone launching a meteor at the kingdom...) and broke the ground into a cavern that lie underneath full of natural crystals.  The first crystals had been charged by the implosion of residual magic, but now they grow uncharged. [This was the first dream run in the continuity, before we even decided to make it a continuity. It ran from about 2001-2003 before it was destroyed and Eileadora emerged soon after]

Temar, Golan and Ceital Lights - Lighthouses.  Ceital is powered by crystal technology, Temar is still hand lit, Golan is maintained by Valshiem (likely gas/steam powered)

Imperial Stronghold - Stronghold and check point for all ships entering or leaving Ceital Harbor. The original structure and warehouses were destroyed when a flaming airship crashed into it.  The stronghold had also housed a lighthouse and a makeshift structure has been rebuilt in it's place.

Ceital Harbor - The inlet of Etla, and safest route and port for trade vessels.

Nevarei - An empty keep up on a cliff overlooking the harbor. This belonged to Elora's uncle and has been a place of solitude for her when she has needed to get away from kingdom life. The keep also houses a dark secret that has yet to be discovered ICly.

Deichmar - Rumored Confirmed location of the pirate town of Deichmar. The town was invaded and the pirates run out, though that was a few year ago. It could be reinhabited by now or simply left abandoned.

Lyvan Mill - Just a simple mill built along the river.  It processes all of the grains coming from surrounding fields. (wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice)

Teringad - This small town has been mostly abandoned and is now little more than a trade hub for the surrounding farmlands. Farmers will only go near the town during daylight hours. While digging a crypt for the town church, the townsfolk had discovered a series of caves and tunnels. The town was abandoned shortly thereafter and it is rumored that a monstrous beast roams these tunnels and comes above ground at night.

Fei Marsh - Mostly uncharted, heavily saturated land that almost completely uninhabitable. There are endless rumors and superstitions surrounding the marshlands, mostly due to the "fairy lights" or "demon lights" (depending on who you ask) that appear through the fog deep within the marshes.

Lemuria - This dream is not currently run, though I believe the city still stands. I'll have to get some info from the owner.

Valshiem - The "City of Scoundrels."  The shady sort of place you'd expect to see strip clubs and bars, assassins and rogues.  Valshiem serves as a link to the mainland as there are regular vessels moving to and from Kasuria. Valshiem also has a port for trade, good for those trying to smuggle certain things onto the island that would not make it into Eileadora.
