Scum:

Random theory on high karma: The mage's name might have been recycled from a purged character, but ended up with the purged character's karma level? I think mailboxes can do that too.
--[[User:Ahante|Ahante]] 01:12, 8 Feb 2006 (EST)

Could be. The name was mage's name was BekRowe. Only way we could find out for sure though is if someone came forward saying they had a character with that name that got purged and had the highest level of karma.

Scum: /* Question */

Hello PhantomSnake. Looks like you're busy. --[[User:Scum|Scum]] 22:48, 5 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Hey Scum. I was just bringing all the images into line and updating the links to them on the crafting pages. I made a few other tweaks too on the way. ;) I'm gonna add some guidelines for uploading images.--[[User:PhantomSnake|PhantomSnake]] 01:17, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Awesome. I've put together a few small things, just for a start. I added Mythic cave locations and a little bit about each clan (such as their Primogen, Primarch, website, and user lists) Also I added Unofficial Clans and Armies. If you have anything specific you want me to do let me know. I'm not the best at this but I'm learing I guess. --[[User:Scum|Scum]] 13:40, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Hey PhantomSnake- A while back I was given a few folders that are full of item graphics from the user pages. I don't know if you have this too, but if not it could make your life a lot easier. I believe it's got nearly every item graphic and it would save you the trouble of having to search for graphics on people's userpages. Let me know if you want to take a look at it.--[[User:Scum|Scum]] 14:29, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)

== New Sysop ==

Phantom,

I promoted Calhon as a sysop. He comes from his site NexusCharts.com and has a lot to offer the wiki. He'll mostly be helping with content. We'll need to develop a formal "sysoping" proceedure soon. --[[User:Zaventh|Zaventh]] 23:30, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)

== Question ==

Hey PhantomSnake, I noticed you uploaded all of the path symbols off the powerlist such as Do's sword, Spy's raven, etc. I had already uploaded all of those previously in JPG format, but you switched them to GIF. Is GIF the better format to use for images or did you not realize I'd already uploaded all of those?
Hehe was just curious and wanted to know for future reference.

Scum:

Hey Zaventh, I sent PhantomSnake a message but I figured I would let you know too. I see that you've both been uploading images, and I may have something that can help you. I've got a few folders that are full of .gif images of items from the game. It may be easier than trying to find user pages that have the items. Also it's got quite a few .gif images of items that you probably won't ever find on user pages such as Plate of Chestnuts, Mirror, Merchant's bet, etc. Anyways, let me know if you're interested.--[[User:Scum|Scum]] 14:52, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)

It might be handy to upload those gifs as a zip (if it's not too big) somewhere on the NexusWiki server and provide a link to it in the images guidelines. What do you think, Zaventh?--[[User:PhantomSnake|PhantomSnake]] 15:07, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)

It is 800k when it's compressed. There are about 574 images, all in .gif format.--[[User:Scum|Scum]] 15:11, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)

There you go, enjoy. And let me know if there is anything I can do to help.--[[User:Scum|Scum]] 15:25, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)

Hey IM me :p, I didnt add you before

== Do me a favor? ==
In my uploading of the clan helm graphics I had a few typos. And I can't delete the image or rename them. Engima_helm should be Enigma_helm and Sillla-K\'urimja_helm should be Silla-K'urimja_helm. Yeah that one was a bad typo. Thanks. Sorry to bug ya, but uhh guess I'm not powerful enough to delete. =D

== Okie doke ==
You can delete the first upload of Sillla-K\'urimja_helm.JPG and Engima_helm.JPG
Sorry for the trouble.

== Help and stuff ==

Hey Zaventh, I'll be adding various info about what I know - mainly subpath information, clans, carnages, and stuff like that. My AIM is CorathX, if you need to get a hold of me.

== An old face ==

Hey Zaventh, was just dropping in to check on how things are going and I wanted to let you know the wiki is looking good. Lots of good changes and updates. NexusLive definitely sounds intriguing. Keep up the great work.

Hello Kalika, great job with the Wiki articles. You and Puffin are doing good, keep it up. I may be able to help you in the future, though I am a little discouraged with the project right now. If you need anything let me know whether it be help, graphics, or advice. Just drop me a line, I check in periodically.

Yes, it is. Great job on all of the new articles. It's good to see someone excited about it. I lost a lot of my steam on the project, due to some issues. Anyways, maybe I will do some more work in the future. I'm glad you and Kalika are doing a lot of the little pages that are needed but aren't very fun\interesting to do. =) I never was good at doing those, I don't have the patience for it. Keep up the awesome work and let me know if you need anything. Especially old graphics from items, I have nearly every item graphic in the game in the old style, even really old or extinct items. Don't hesitate to drop me a line, I'll check in periodically.

Talk:Main Page

Scum: /* On News Articles */

This page seriously needs to be spruced up...

I moved the old main page to [[Getting Started]]. Set up an initial draft for the new main page. The idea was to present information to the reader right away. Readers who frequent the wiki will not want to see a greeting every time, but instead get some news perhaps. The items under "Recent Events" should really be links to articles about the events. Once the events become old news they could be moved to the [[History]] page. Any thoughts?--[[User:PhantomSnake|PhantomSnake]] 19:17, 28 Jul 2005 (EDT)

== I don't know... ==

I'd rather not have a news section. There are plenty of other sites for that. I'd actually be more tempted to have a portion of the [[special:recentchanges|Recent Changes]] page on the main page. --[[User:Zaventh|Zaventh]] 19:34, 28 Jul 2005 (EDT)

== How about this? ==

Ok, so news is not a priority. I removed the "Recent Events" section and replaced it with a "Random articles that we need" section. It might help kick-start things. What else could we put on the main page? There is plenty of space yet, especially if we use tables.--[[User:PhantomSnake|PhantomSnake]] 20:51, 28 Jul 2005 (EDT)

== Failed Domain Move/Upgrade ==

Well, I bought the nexuswiki.com domain. I tried moving the domains and also upgrading to the latest beta version of mediawiki. Everything worked fine except the domain transfer, which kept reverting to zaventh.com instead of nexuswiki.com. At any rate, I restored the database back to its latest version so continue to use zaventh.com/wiki for now.

== Excited about Progress ==

Hey guys,

I'm just wanna say how excited I am about this project. I'm gonna help out when I can with it, and I'm really hoping it gets approved by KRU. Good luck and I'm going to write an article.

LordChrono

== Great ==

Great, that is the idea. Hopefully if everyone contributes what they can, this wiki will grow rapidly and become a real unique resource to Nexus.

== Opinion ==

This is a great idea for a site, with massive potential for growth. I love it because it allows every day players (like myself) to get involved and help. I like the idea of having the main page so some recent changes\additions so people can see what is being worked on and maybe add\review those changes.

Scum

== NexusWiki is now an officially recognized fan website! ==

I'm happy to announce that [[KRU Interactive]] has approved [[NexusWiki]] and listed it on their [http://nexustk.com/2003/community/community.html official community page]! This means we're cleared to promote the website in-game.--[[User:PhantomSnake|PhantomSnake]] 22:02, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)

== Animated gifs ==

Hey everyone,

How do we get animated gifs to put on the wiki. I'm thinking it'd probably be cool to get some animations for spells/items/monsters(maybe). It would spruce up the site for sure. Other than that everythings looking good. I'm dying to see the items section grow and become tables.

Good luck everyone,
LordChrono

== About animated gifs ==

LordChrono,

Animated gifs can be uploaded and displayed just like any other image. The problem is getting our hands on those animated gifs. Nexus Atlas has a bunch of them but we can't use them without permission. However, it wouldn't be too difficult for us to make our own animated gifs. What you need to do is take screenshots in the game of all the frames of animation for a particular thing. An alternative would be to rip the graphics from the game data files, but that's a bit more tricky (and may not actually be all that useful for some things that are animated by pallete swapping — the Flameblade's glow, for example). Then, use a program like Animation Shop to piece them together into an animated gif. It's tedious work but it can be done.

== On News Articles ==

I think have "interactive" wiki news articles is a good thing and will be even better as we compile more and more content on the wiki itself. However, I think we should restrain from making news actual wiki pages. For example, "Restored_Purged_Chars" or "NPC_Subpath_Change" don't really merit acticles I don't think. Articles should be oject oriented ie. "NPC" "Subpath" "Purge" would all be articles. We should try and keep the actual news stories limited to just the main page and link to relevant articles within the story. Old news could be archived to archive pages but again, I'm not entirely sure that is necessary when you look at the scope of the wiki itself. Current events on the main page is great and the wiki content to back it up would be excellent, but creating a "news site" is pushing the boundries of the scope of the wiki in my opinion. Thoughts? --[[User:Zaventh|Zaventh]] 13:55, 4 Nov 2005 (EST)

Retrieved from "http://www.nexuswiki.com/wiki/Talk:Main_Page"

== Thoughts ==
Well we need some way to post news without having to create pages for it. I mean, Restord_Purged_Characters doesn't need to become a page. The whole reason I added those news articles, and whatnot on the main page was this: First, nexusatlas was down so people needed somewhere to see the news. Also, I think that with a wiki it could be very good to post the news, since anyone can update it. Just cause other sites have news doesn't mean we can't. Their news is usually outdated. Also, the main page hasn't changed in ages. It really really needs spruced up. As for the pushing the boundaries of the scope of the wiki, I think it needs done. As of right now we really don't offer much that isn't offered somewhere else. Don't get me wrong, this wiki has the potential to be a great thing. But as of right now it is barely ever used or visited. People go to the popular "trademark" sites, because they have no reason to go to the wiki. We have nothing much different to offer people, except the chance for them to input a ton of information for practically no reason since it can already be found at nexusatlas. Also, yes this is wiki site, but does that mean it needs to just become a dynamic nexus encyclopedia? I think if you choose to just be a site that defines nexus terms than a lot of potential is lost. I mean, most people don't need to visit a website to look up "NPC" Anyways, feel free to delete the news pages, bugs, projects, suggestions, etc. pages that I created. I really don't mind. It was all a desperate attempt to breathe some life into this site.

(Note: If you're interested in a large group scouting please
make sure I am aware of this so we can make special
plans. This is for Clans/Armies/Subpaths..)

Interested in scouting with us?

First, and foremost, you would have to know who to contact.
Not every Ranger is willing or suitable to do such a task.
Send a request, in roleplay format of course, to only one
of the following people:

Once the request is agreed by the leader, a trip will be
scheduled.

You will be required to bring him or her the
following items on the day of the trip:

* Snake meat - 15
* Poor, Medium, High ore - 10
* Pebble - 4
* Wool - 25
* Fine snake meat -20
* Ginko wood - 3
* Rat meat - 50

Don't forget to prepare for the elements of the wilderness.
If the things above are all you bring, you're going to have
a lot of trouble on our trip together. Bring a stout staff,
some comfortable clothes, and anything else you think would
help you on your way through the wilderness with one of us.

((Note: Trips last to minimum of an hour long
and decent RP effort is a must.))

In addition, the leader, and the scout(s) [Maximum of 4],
-MUST- send a report, not too lengthy, of your trip. Your
leader will have an example and report template for you
to send.

Any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to contact
myself, or any scout leader for clarification.

Stay safe, be prepared, and have a wonderful trip!

* Ranger (99)
* Adventurer (Il san)
* Tracker (Ee san)
* Survivalist (Sam san)

== Members ==
The current members of the Ranger subpath can be found [http://users.nexustk.com/webreport/Ranger.htm here]. The current elder of the Rangers is [http://users.nexustk.com/?name=RiaDora RiaDora].

== Roleplay ==
Without much hesitation, normally you'd hear of the seven skills of a Ranger, or some comment about protecting nature. The truth is, not many people really understand what a Ranger lives for, or the general attitude of the path.

A Ranger, as a person, is generally somebody who understands the part the natural world plays, and its effects on urbanization and civilization. Those you usually meet are likely the types that, though willing to live in cities, choose not to. Most Rangers have never really found themselves in people throughout the cities, but live on what is and what has been given to us in the natural world.

Something that brings out this family is that they're not all the same. There are thinkers, the carefree, the loners, and tons of other kinds of people. A ranger can be who he is; yet they all share one common belief: While civilization expands, we forget about what is not turned into roads and buildings. As people neglect the original poor places, it can become agitated. Eventually, someone must appease it, or we would fall victim to it.

In defending nature, rangers have sectored their skills into the seven. As much as we are defenders of nature, we are talented fighters and guardians. Our eyes are sharp in Archery, while you will never see us when we exercise Camouflage. When all seven are mastered, you essentially find the greatest strategist rogue.

No matter how advanced we become, we need the natural world. Not most people realize this. A Ranger does, and does what he can. Some see Rangers as people who love animals and plants more than humanity. This is untrue...

Respecting nature:

You can interept respecting nature in a million different ways, but this is my view on things. This is a useful tool for new scouts, or people seeking to gain the respect of nature.

Respecting Nature is a very delicate term. It depends mostly on how define the word respect. What is respect to your friend? Your enemy? Your guardians or parents? Think about how it changes.

In this light, respecting nature is a lot like respecting a person. Think of the actions you have taken towards Nature, and try to imagine how your mother would feel had they been done to her.

Respecting Nature entails these primary points:

* Protecting Nature
* Knowing and Understanding Nature
* Not interfering with Nature's course

Protecting nature is something we have always done since the dawn of our existence. Although, we often misinterept what needs to be protected. Nature does -not- hurt itself, it is a never ending cycle. If a hawk kills a rabbit, it is because nature has let it. Because of this, most of the protecting we ever do is against ourselves! We are the only element that is outside nature in its own group... we posses the ability to define our own path. How often do you see Rabbits striving to become kings and warriors? No.. sorry.. they just eat carrots, mate, and avoid young peasants with sharp ugly sticks.

Knowing and understanding nature is very fundamental. It is important to understand nature, just as it is to know your best friend. If you understood Nature as deeply as I do, you would understand the great respect of magnitude and life that you find laying asleep.

Not interfering with nature's course is the main idea of respecting nature.

The seven skills:

* Archery : The art of hitting a target with an arrow shot from a bow. The bow is the weapon of choice of a Ranger as archery is a skill they take a particular pride in. ((the hunting aspects of Bows and Archery are not implemented in Nexus, consequence is that the bow only has a roleplay/pk use)) A Ranger can make a series of arrows. These arrows include : [[Ranger arrows]], [[Split head arrows]], [[Steel tip arrows]], [[Sleep arrows]] and [[Explosive arrows]]. The last two arrow types are often used in special duels.

* Camouflage : The skill of operating unseen. Camouflage is blending in with your surroundings, be it in a city to observe someone or in nature to hunt down a specific prey.
* Cartography : It is often referred to as the art of making maps. Making maps requires a keen eye and knowledge of your surroundings.
* Foraging : Gathering specific resources from the natural surroundings. A forager knows where to find anything he needs. Other skills are usefull when foraging this in order to more effectively gather the resource neeeded.
* Security : Security is perhaps the most abstract skill of the seven. It is used to protect someone or something in need.
* Tracking : Following footprints, and different clues left behind by someone or something. It is used to retrieve things such as the origin of a disruption in the balance of nature or a person or animal on the run.
* Trapping : Using traps wisely. Covered in training are most importantly the different physical traps and their effects as well as trapping tactics.

Scouting:

A seperate branch of rangers are the scout leaders. They can tour you around any place in the land. The location most often chosen is the wilderness. The goal of such trips is to help people see the importance of the natural world around their cities through the understanding of the beauty that can be found within. The scout leader can be either a guide through the land explaining the facts about the way nature works and historical facts about specific locations or he can be a guard that leads and protects you between two points in the wilderness.

== Location ==
The Ranger circle is a part of the [[wilderness]].

[[Trapper's Paradise]] is where rangers receive their guests. [[Specty]] lives in the trees in the west. Up north there are two training areas Renegade's Retreat and Rustic Sanctuary, these two rooms are used to host events where certain spells need to be possible to cast. Angel's hideaway is a small studyroom where rangers drop by to find serenity.

== Events ==
Rangers host many different games related to the seven skills they specialize in. The most popular events are the [[Archery tournament]], [[Conquer and Defend]], [[Ambuscade]] and [[Find the Ranger]]. The events hosted are an oportunity to show ones abilities in the skills, community members are recognized through these and often awarded a branding in the skills they relate to.

== Equipment ==
The items underneath are those created by the path. These can be divided into two categories : Public and Path bonded items. The public items can be awarded to anyone in the community. The path bonded items are the ranger special gear and are reserved to the members of the path.

* Public :
** [[Demon Dagger]] [[Image:Demon_Dagger.gif]] (hand item)
** [[Fabled Trowel]] [[Image:Fabled_Trowel.gif]] (hand item)
** [[Honor Medal]] [[Image:Honor_Medal.gif]] (hand item)

Well then you are in luck! The Merchant guild would like to offer you the opportunity to accompany us on a Treasure hunt. We will guide you and lend you our knowledge, however, you must show us your abilities. As well as be prepared for a variety of situations!

So in order to bring you on a hunt, we are in need of a couple things. First, a story retelling a previous treasure hunt that you have been on ((roleplay hunt)). Once we have received your story, we will send you a short list of necessary items for the hunt. This list is of things that can easily be gathered within the kingdoms, so your pocket will not be strained.

Now, who can take you on these hunts? Any guide of the Merchant guild! These will be one on one treasure hunts and there is a reward at the end, as well as a branding.

'''Rules:'''

[[Image:Sword.JPG]] You can have 1 treasure hunt for every 2 yuri's you have been alive.

[[Image:Sword.JPG]] You need at least 2 weeks between hunts. (send the date of your last to the guide)

[[Image:Sword.JPG]] If you are an enemy of the Merchant guild or have been jailed within the past 2 yuri's you can not go on a hunt. Depending on what you were jailed for, you may not be eligible to go on one at all. ((other serious, autocutting, theft, murder))

If you have any questions, please send me a letter.

Pardon Tribunal

Scum: Added Pardon Tribunal Quest

''Taken from the Chronicles of the Winds post 1714 by Deimos''

[[Image:Chongun.JPG]] '''Chongun Pardon Tribunal''' [[Image:Chongun.JPG]]

"Rebirth of the prosperity, cleansing of licentiousness!"

If you have been convicted of a crime, and either claim that you were falsely accused, or have taken measures to redeem yourself, the Chongunate will hear your appeals.

The Chongun Warriors are Protectors of the Kingdoms. We to ensure their rights, as human beings are not infringed upon, protect both law-abiding citizens and criminals. IF we feel a criminal has been wrongfully convicted or has been rehabilitated into a productive citizen, we CAN pardon them for their crimes to remove any criminal history they may have.

A branded person ~MUST~ meet the following guidelines for their pardon:

[[Image:Blade.JPG]] Tiger Karma or above

[[Image:Blade.JPG]] Can be no earlier than 2 ~FULL~ Yuri's old. ((To the season))

[[Image:Blade.JPG]] For more than 3 brandings, one Yuri must pass. (5 brands, 5 Yuri's must pass AFTER the last one before a pardon is considered granted)

The base cost of the pardon, if granted, are as follows (addition maybe added at the time of your verdict):

[[Image:Blade.JPG]] One [[Angel's tear]] http://users.nexustk.com/items/00428_00.gif

[[Image:Blade.JPG]] One complete Ogre Weapon set (Electra, Steelthorn, Titanium lance, Star-staff)

We handle each pardon case differently than we do another. Depending on what you did and what crime you committed, we will decide how to handle your case. This will be done at the Chongun Tribunals, which are held weekly and posted on the Community event boards for all to see. Severity of case will be considered in the decision process.

A Pardon is a service, NOT a right. Demanding Pardons demonstrates to us your attitude towards others has not changed and thus you shall be denied and forced to wait longer. Your actions during the proceedings will also count towards whether or not you receive a pardon.

To request a Pardon, you must send a formal request (MUST be in RP format. If not, you shall not be heard) to Thugofsmeg explaining what crime you have committed, and why you feel you deserve a pardon. You must then appear at the ~next~ Tribunal that is scheduled to have your case heard. If you do not show, you will have to resubmit another request.

If we do not have your request by the time the Tribunal starts, you will not be heard that night.

We cannot pardon for the following crimes:
http://users.nexustk.com/legend/00085_00.gif Sage abuse
http://users.nexustk.com/legend/00085_00.gif Sexual Harassment
http://users.nexustk.com/legend/00085_00.gif Serious crimes
http://users.nexustk.com/legend/00085_00.gif Bug Abuse
http://users.nexustk.com/legend/00085_00.gif Murder

((~NOTE~
Once you are at the tribunal, you ~MUST~ be in character. Failure to do so may cause your case to be dropped. ))

Without any of these achievements, you cannot gain a Pardon.

This weeks Tribunal is to be held on ((Sundays 8pm Est)) at the Immortal's Gateway ((59,6 )) Dae Shore. Those attending must remain silent unless called upon by the tribunal.

'''Note: Check the Community events board for times each week, as they may change.'''

NPC Subpath Change

2005-11-02T04:59:25Z

Scum:

A bug appeared today, causing Cunning and Rage to take much much more mana than they used to. Also, there were issues with Cunning's flank and backstab properties. Controversy raged over whether it was a bug or not.

Kru posted the following on www.nexustk.com:

Nexus Update November 1st, 2005

The Nexus servers were reset with the following changes:

Fixed a bug preventing red beards from being worn by characters.
Fixed the "cunning jump" bug that allowed players to skip the early stages of Baekho's cunning.
Fixed the "rage + fury" bug that caused warriors to die if Chung Ryong's rage and and a fury spell were cast together. Note: The bonus damage from a fury spell will not stack with Chung Ryong's rage
Changed the damage bonus of the Chung Ryong's rage spell from 6/9/12/18/27/81 to 8/14/20/26/36/81.

Posted on www.nexustk.com:
''' UPDATE Nov. 1 @ 8:24pm pst '''

Fixed cunning flank and back attack. Cunning steps 2 and 3 will enable flank attacks. Cunning steps 4 and 5 will enable back and flank attacks.
Note: We are investigating the reports that the damage from Baekho's cunning has been reduced. There have been no intentional changes to the damage bonus from Baekho's cunning.
Lowered the mana cost of Chung Ryong's rage. The increase to the mana cost of Chung Ryong's rage was an unintended effect of increasing the damage at each step. Increasing the damage of the lower end of Chung Ryong's rage was a necessary step.

The mana costs will be reduced from what it is now. It will be a little bit higher than it was before, but that is necessary because of the new numbers.

For comparison here are the old and new mana costs for each step side-by-side:

old: 7200 / 16200 / 28800 / 64800 / 145800
new: 7200 / 18050 / 33800 / 72200 / 145800
inc: +0 / +1850 / +5000 / +7400 / +0

The end result is a better stepping throughout the spell, with a much better mana:damage ratio than before.

Scum:

'''Are you a Diviner?'''

Do you believe the Diviner path is for you?
Do you have a calling to join our path?

~*Convince us!*~
We are curious by nature also patient as we feel patience is a virtue,we seek to aid those who posses the ability to foresee the future! Send each of the guides a short story of your history, keeping in mind the ideals of the Divine Order.

~*But remember!*~
Words can only go so far. As the old adage goes, "actions speak louder than words." Diviners are honest, law abiding citizens, if you bear the criminal branding of injustice, you shall not be accepted until your actions have been atoned for. For this, you may seek out a Chongun guide to absolve you of your sins. If you have a mark that cannot be removed, then you must get a Royal Pardon, information can be found on the guide board.

~*And what of your beliefs?*~
Remember, Diviners are not evil. Each Diviner represents a part in the cycle of the Tao, of the Yin and Yang. We walk amidst the Light, the Dark, and the Grey, depending on how we represent the balance within the Tao. Do not be led astray by misconceptions, for Dark Diviners are not evil. Though Diviners are not strictly Taoists, we do have a deep understanding of the Tao, as well as Yin and Yang.

~*And our honor?*~
Some tend to regard ((PK)) as discourteous and offensive, and others as a form of recreation with friends. The truth of the matter is, it can be both. We as Diviners feel that any unjustified slaying of Innocents is wrong, and therefore to not practice it. We do, however, spar with our friends, provided they agree to the arrangement. If someone else, however, is starting a fight with us, we hinder only in self-defense. Carnages and ((PK)) in The Sire Pit are acceptable, as they are ((OOC)).

~*Practice!*~
For those of you who seek to harness your ability to see into the future, we recommend practicing the I'Ching. The I'Ching has long since been our preferred method of divination, and is required to be learned as a student. There exist many other methods of divination, and encourage you to find one that fits your purpose as well. We Do not commune with the spirits we leave this to the Shaman path whose path revolves around the spirit world.

~*Restrictions*~
We have now opened our doors to those who have walked another path and feel that their home is within the Diviner walls. We do not, however, accept those who have been asked to leave or removed from the diviner path, ((this includes on other characters, as well as previous character.))

~*A final word of advice*~
If you truly believe yourself to be a Diviner, I advise you to get a copy of The Divine Chronicle from Sheng in the Tao Te Ching ((126/169, Kugnae)). Read some of the posts about the ways of a Diviner to make sure our path is right for you. Any knowledge you gain about the Tao, Yin and Yang will aid you, you will be required to have some understanding of both. If you have read all of this and agree that this way of life suits you, send your story to one of our guides, Kahni, Airess, Daos, Kiia, Galatians, Lilac, Triantos, Clarrissa

First you must send a role-play reason why you wish to have an I-Ching reading along with the required information listed in the I-Ching rules. If the guide feels you are worthy of a reading h/s will contact you via n-mail, do not whisper a guide about readings. Guides are very busy and will answer your n-mail to let you know if you are worthy or not.

Note: Along with your request you must let us know Yuri you were born, what your karma is, how many criminal brands you have, the date of the most recent, and an explanation about why you received the brands. List how many I-Ching readings you have had and date of the last one, also remember you will need a Trigram key set and a Tao stone.

An I-Ching reading is a form of Divination
popular among the Diviners, both for its
simplicity and its stalks, the Diviner seeks
to release a person's dormant destiny, and
to provide assistance and insight to a problem.

To receive an I-Ching reading, you must send
a letter to a Diviner guide stating why you
would like to receive such a reading.
When the guide receives your letter, they
will send you a small quest to complete.
Below is an example of a request

For everyone's first five I-Ching readings you must
have a minimum of Dog karma and for the next five readings you
must have a minimum of Tiger karma. All readings after that require
Spirit or higher karma. If you have an arrest,
it must be over one Yuri old for us to consider you.
For every Yuri that you have been in the kingdoms,
you are permitted one reading. You must wait two
weeks between readings, so that all may receive
the I-Ching's lessons.

If you are interested in such
a reading, send your request to one of these
guides:

[[Image:Box.JPG]] Lilac

[[Image:Box.JPG]] Triantos

[[Image:Box.JPG]] Clarrissa

Do not whisper a guide for a reading, nor ask them
for answers to the questions they give you. The quest
is yours, and yours alone. It must not be shared with
others. Failure to comply to either of these rules will
result in the guide disregarding your request. Remember
that a guide always has the final say on all matters.

Good evening, Prophet Gull.

Over the past three moons, my visions have been plagued incessently with memories of the shattering. Sagu's laughter,
like an ill wind, flowing through the streets of kugnae, turning the leaves to autumn, causing pestilence to check through the kingdomunheeded, and leaving many brave and valiant warrior dead. I wonder though, are these merely memories of what has happened... or, and this is the fear that haunts me the most.Is it to happen again?

http://users.nexustk.com/items/01756_00.gif '''The Shaman Spirit Drum''' http://users.nexustk.com/items/01756_00.gif

The shamans history of drum making is
well documented. From the preparation of
the hides that the shaman chooses cover their
drum, to the construction of the foundation of
the drum itself.

The drum requires much thought before we actually set upon the task of crafting one. We must consider the spirit of the animal from who we take our hides. The animals of Nexus offer us a great resource and we must honor their sacrifice. From the mighty Bears that roam Vale, to the smallest of foxes hiding in their caves, to the strongest of Tigers that grace our lands. We must meditate to make sure their spirit is at rest and that they give us their blessings for use of their skins.

The task of preparation is no easy one. We bring the pelts to Dae Shore and we scrub them down with salt. We then must make a fire to tan the hides we have collected. We fan the smoke and heat toward the pelts to tan them and purify them.

We then prepare the base of the drum. Since the type of beating is as unique as each shaman, we can use two different materials to construct the base. For a firmer and crisp sound we use ginko wood. For a softer more melodious sound, we use piles of wool. This is very time consuming but the rewards are great.

Inside each of our drums we place the heart of the great tiger. Our drums often mimic the heartbeat of the animals we use. Imagine your own ritual being graced by the Tiger. As he lends his strong and fierce heartbeat to your playing.

The last step is to condition the Drum. We set about the task of collecting exactly 201 fresh acorns. These are ground down and the oils that are released are rubbed into the drum to keep it waterproof and aid in the sound they make.

Why have I told you this? The answer is simple really. The Shaman of the Nexus have decided to use this age old art, to help the community craft their own drum. You will help us from the first step until the last. And upon completion be presented with the drum you aided in crafted.

You will write to a drum maker and tell them why you need our Drum. The letter must be in role play format and NO longer then one nmail. Tell us how the drum will aid you and what you will use it for. Also, be sure to tell us which base you choose. The hard base or the soft base.

When your words are read and we are ready to take on the task of creation, we will contact you. Keep in mind the items mentioned, for they will be needed to create your drum.

Personal totem spirits are the ones who watch
over you and work with you through your life.

Walking beside us throughout our lifetime, is our Power Totem, that animal spirit with whom we share an especially strong bond, what some might think of as a "guardian spirit." The Power Totem is indeed that, yet so much more for they are our Brother/Sister, friend, messenger from the Ancestors.

The Animal Totem that comes to you offers you power and wisdom if you will learn to communicate with it, with respect, trust, and understanding. Having an animal totem means that you have lessons to learn and a powerful spiritual friend.

[[Image:Staff.JPG]] The Vision Quest

A person wishing to know their personal spirit totem is sent upon the vision quest to collect the items that will reveal their identities

The Vision Quest begins with the recognition of the God you worship by bringing along one of his keys. You will also need to bring one of the elemental (trigram) keys. Think carefully on which keys you will carry with you along this journey, for they too, will help with the revelation of your totem spirit.
Following this, you must spend some time in meditation and watch for signs from your totem. During your meditation 5 signs will be presented to you, consisting of 5 items and their relative meanings.

[[Image:Staff.JPG]] The Revelation

After the Vision Quest is completed, return to your home and compile the results of your quest on to a scroll. Make sure to include the Totem Key, Trigram Key, and the 5 items along with each reason they were used or presented to you in your Vision Quest.

When this step is completed, you may request a shaman to reveal your Totem Spirit. If your story is incomplete in any way they will ask you to return to your meditations untill everything is revealed to you.
Once the shaman has unraveled the meanings of your Quest, s/he will contact you to meet with them. At this time, please bring with you a piece of the Purest Quartz and both the Trigram Key and the Totem Key, and 10 Mountain Ginseng to aid us in meditation.

Through Spiritual Guidance the shaman will be able to reveal your totem spirit and provide you with a Totem Jewel to bring you closer to your totem spirit.

The most simplistic definition of the Medicine Wheel is that it is a
symbol of ALL creation. The center of the wheel is the Creator, who
sits in perfect balance.

We walk the Wheel along the edge, in a clockwise motion. It is along
The rotation of the Earth, the change of the seasons, and day to night
that we move.

We divide the Wheel into aspects of four. There are four directions,
four seasons, four basic elements, four aspects of our nature, four
phases of time and four stages of life.

The place of beginnings is in the East. This is where your journey
begins. Where the sun rises and we are given a new day of life.

The Medicine Wheel brings healing, wholeness and health. There
must be balance between our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
selves. Health is a state of being in balance and sickness is an
indicator of unbalance. The act of walking the Medicine Wheel is to
balance all the four elements in relationship to the other and in all of
Creation.

If your mind is out of balance and full of negative thoughts, this
makes bad feelings grow and fester. If your spirit is aching then you
may be living in a way that does not respect your spirit. There is a
dark side to everyone, but by acknowledging that it exists and
identifying the source of imbalance, you can begin to heal. Release
the ways you once embraced and then rebirth and healing is allowed
to take place.

over you and work with you through your life.

Walking beside us throughout our lifetime, is our Power Totem, that animal spirit with whom we share an especially strong bond, what some might think of as a "guardian spirit." The Power Totem is indeed that, yet so much more for they are our Brother/Sister, friend, messenger from the Ancestors.

The Animal Totem that comes to you offers you power and wisdom if you will learn to communicate with it, with respect, trust, and understanding. Having an animal totem means that you have lessons to learn and a powerful spiritual friend.

~*~ The Vision Quest

A person wishing to know their personal spirit totem is sent upon the vision quest to collect the items that will reveal their identities

The Vision Quest begins with the recognition of the God you worship by bringing along one of his keys. You will also need to bring one of the elemental (trigram) keys. Think carefully on which keys you will carry with you along this journey, for they too, will help with the revelation of your totem spirit.
Following this, you must spend some time in meditation and watch for signs from your totem. During your meditation 5 signs will be presented to you, consisting of 5 items and their relative meanings.

~*~ The Revelation

After the Vision Quest is completed, return to your home and compile the results of your quest on to a scroll. Make sure to include the Totem Key, Trigram Key, and the 5 items along with each reason they were used or presented to you in your Vision Quest.

When this step is completed, you may request a shaman to reveal your Totem Spirit. If your story is incomplete in any way they will ask you to return to your meditations untill everything is revealed to you.
Once the shaman has unraveled the meanings of your Quest, s/he will contact you to meet with them. At this time, please bring with you a piece of the Purest Quartz and both the Trigram Key and the Totem Key, and 10 Mountain Ginseng to aid us in meditation.

Through Spiritual Guidance the shaman will be able to reveal your totem spirit and provide you with a Totem Jewel to bring you closer to your totem spirit.
