Faramir

Faramir is one of the main characters in *The Two Towers* and *The Return of the King*.

## History

Faramir was born in Gondor to Denethor II and Finduilas and the younger brother of Boromir Growing up, Denethor always favored Boromir over Faramir, feeling the latter of the two children unloved. However, Boromir never let that favoritism come in between them and the boys grew up very close together.

When he was young, Denethor had a piece of armor made for him in hopes that Faramir would become just like Boromir, but were different as day and night.

"*Nine companions… So be it! You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring!*"
—Elrond after seeing nine companions
The **Fellowship of the Ring**, also known as Company of the Ring, **the Nine Walkers**, or more simply the **Fellowship** or the **Company** was an organization formed in TA 3018 in Rivendell with Frodo leading the Quest. The goal was to destroy the One Ring and save Middle-earth. Destroying the Ring would also have destroyed Sauron as well. It later had come to an end in the last film, with the characters splitting up. Frodo and Sam continued on the quest alone.

## History

### Formation

"*Nine companions... So be it! You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring!"
"Great! Where are we going?*"
—Elrond and Pippin[src]
Lord Elrond called over members of each race gather in Rivendell, forming the Council of Elrond. They debated on who woult take the Ring to Mordor and Frodo openly volunteered to lead the quest and take the Ring to Mordor to destroy it. Gandalf volunteered to go on the quest to show him the way, as long as Frodo bore the ring on his own. Aragorn joined in with Frodo giving his sword, to protect Frodo in danger. Legolas offered his bow to Frodo and Gimli his ax, with both the prince of Mirkwood and the dwarf reluctant to work together. Sam later joined the group because Frodo wouldn't go anywhere without him. Afterwards, Merry and Pippin joined as well for their loyalties for Frodo. Merry states that they'd have to send him in a sack home to stop them while Pippin confusingly states that they needed people on the quest, repeating other similar terms for missions.  Elrond, recognizing the nine companions declared them as the Fellowship of the Ring, with Pippin foolishly asking where they were going.

On Yule Time, the Fellowship set out with Gandalf guiding Frodo.

## Members

The tunnels of Củ Chi are an immense network of connecting underground tunnels located in the Củ Chi District of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam, and are part of a much larger network of tunnels that underlie much of the country. The Củ Chi tunnels were the location of several military campaigns during the Vietnam War, and were the Viet Cong's base of operations for the Tết Offensive in 1968.

The tunnels were used by Viet Cong soldiers as hiding spots during combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living quarters for numerous North Vietnamese fighters. The tunnel systems were of great importance to the Viet Cong in their resistance to American forces, and helped to counter the growing American military effort

Son Doong Cave

## Overview

The Son Doong Cave in Vietnam is the
biggest cave in the world. It’s over 5 km long, has a jungle and river, and
could fit a 40-story skyscraper within its walls.

## Location

Located in Quang Binh Province,
Vietnam, near the Laos–Vietnam border.

## Characteristics

Stretching more than five
kilometers (three miles) long and reaching heights of 200 meters, the main
cavern of Hang Son Doong is large enough to house an entire New York City
block.

The eco-system inside Hang Son Doong is as
unique as it is large, and it even has its own localized weather system. Rare
limestone cave pearls are scattered in dried pools, and the largest stalagmite
ever found stands 80 meters tall.

Collapsed ceilings have created openings
known as dolines, allowing foliage to grow inside the cave. Microscopic
organisms thrive in the darkness.

## History

Sơn Đoòng cave was found by a local man
named Hồ Khanh in 1991. The whistling sound of wind and roar of a rushing
stream in the cave heard through the entrance as well as the steep descent
prevented the local people from entering the cave. Only in 2009 did the cave
become internationally known after a group of cavers from the British Cave
Research Association conducted a survey in Quang Binh from 10 to 14 April 2009.
In 2013 Son Doong was opened to the public for the first time.

## Tour

Only one Expedition Company: Oxalis
currently has permits to enter the cave for tourism purposes. Permits are
required to access the cave and are made available on a limited basis, with 800
permits available for the 2017 season, which runs from February to August.

Cost: $3000

Produced by Butch Vig and Billy Corgan

* Blue (acoustic)
* Crawl
* Obscured
* Purr Snickety
* Smiley

This was apparently a unique acoustic recording sessions to track future b-sides, probably towards the end of the Gish sessions proper. “Obscured” was most likely recorded at this session.

**Billy Corgan**: Our not-so-innocent obsession with B-sides began innocently enough in
1991 when, after recording our debut album, Gish, we were asked if we
had any additional songs that could be used as a flipside to a single.
Instead of choosing a song I didn't like, I took it as a challenge to
put out something special and different.

**Billy Corgan**:
obscured is old because it was originally supposed to be on the lull e.p which was really supposed to be a single but they tricked me. written during gish recordings, we have finished it and let it sit for 2 years and then it can came out as the b side of today i in the uk. the darkland. so it was on all my friends tapes and supposed to be on the next one but i swore i would never again re -record one of our own songs because it is lame to do so. 1991.what a year. such a pretty song, sunday in the park music chicagofest.

**Billy Corgan**:
a tune i'd had high, high hopes for; written in the 'tide-out' period after the release of gish, where new ideas where new ideas were lightly explored and just as easily discarded.  a favorite in my canon of doe-eyed come-ons, obscured does express some deeply rooted beliefs i formed during my late teen years, standing as i was on corners at midnight praying for a gothic rescue.  i remember playing this in demo stage to a picky female who remarked in abject confusion, "what is this i'm listening to?" to those types of questions i would answer "just because."

At the conclusion of the Vietnam War on 30 April 1975, the city came under the control of the Vietnamese People's Army. Among Vietnamese diaspora communities and particularly the U.S. (which had fought the communists), this event is commonly called the "fall of Saigon", while the Socialist Republic of Vietnam refers to it as the "Liberation of Saigon". In 1976, upon the establishment of the unified communist Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the city of Saigon (including Cholon), the province of Gia Ðịnh and two suburban districts of two other nearby provinces were combined to create Ho Chi Minh City in honor of the late Communist leader Hồ Chí Minh. The former name Saigon is still widely used by many Vietnamese, especially in informal contexts. Generally, the term Saigon refers only to the urban districts of Ho Chi Minh City.

In 1939, the Governor-general of French Indochina, Jules Brévié drew a line to delimit the administrative boundaries for islands in the Gulf of Thailand: those north of the line were placed under Cambodia protectorate; those south of the line were managed by the colony of Cochinchina. Brévié made the point that the decision merely addressed administrative task, and that no sovereignty decision had been made.As a result, Phu Quoc remains under Cochinchina administration. Later, Cochinchina's sovereignty was handed over to the State of Vietnam and remained so after France left.

During the Vietnam War the island housed South Vietnam's largest prisoner camp (40,000 in 1973), known as Phú Quốc Prison.

Sand Dunes of Mui Ne

## Overview

Mui Ne is famous for its enormous red
and white sand dunes. The 'red dunes' (doi hong) are convenient to Hai Long,
but the 'white dunes' (doi cat trang) 24km northeast are the more impressive –
the near-constant oceanic winds sculpt the pale yellow sands into wonderful
Saharaesque formations. But as this is Vietnam (not deepest Mali) there's
little chance of experiencing the silence of the desert.

## Location

4 hours from Ho Chi Minh City. The
sand dunes spread from Binh Thuan to Ninh Thuan but the main and most beautiful
dunes is located in Mũi Né, opposite Fairy Stream.subscribe to pewdiepie

## Characteristics

The White Dunes are by far the larger dunes
and are known by locals as Bau Trang or White Lake. There are quite a few small
stands selling food and drinks to visitors within the area along with pine
trees offering much-needed shade.

The Red Dunes, as the name suggests,
features reddish-brown sand that makes them a more popular place for
photography. Smaller than White Dunes, they are easier to reach. Sand-sledding
is a common (and fun) activity here, but it is hard to nail down where the best
location to do so is as the sands shift from season to season so it’s best to look
around. Dry sand is much more enjoyable to sled on.

Fairy Stream: a peaceful stream of water
which you can walk that is surrounded by some impressive rock formations that
look from outer space.

## Activities

Plastics sledge riding from the top to
bottom of sand dunes.

Watching sunrise or sunset from the sand
dunes.

Wading in the cool water of Fairy Stream.

## Tour

Sightseeing tours offered by local hotels
and hostels. The price of the entire tour of Mui Ne (White sand dunes, red sand
dunes, fishing village and fairy stream) is 5 USD in a shared jeep and can be
booked at every hostel and hotel of the city

Ragnarok Ground Zero/Stats

## **Stats Overview**

* Players will now benefit more weight from STR equipments, not base STR alone
* Players will also get extra 100,000 HP per VIT. If player has 100 vit with 10m HP, they will get 20m HP.
* All monsters are beefed up

## Calculations

Level 175 Rune Knight with 900 VIT and INT
63,159.2 + \* 1500 + 90000000 \* 10 \* 2.3 = 994738800 (1500x HP modifier on players, homunculi, summons, mercenaries)

Ragnarok Ground Zero/Monsters

## **Monsters**

* When you kill a monster without boss protocol, a monster with boss protocol will appear (they negate certain skills and statues, including knockback, HP display bar, and monster sense). Taken from Ragnarok Gravity.
* Doppelganger, or Biolabs characters will appear at midnight.
* There are returns of pre-renewal monster spawn along with post-renewal. The spawn rates are double the amount and capacity.
Ragnarok Ground Zero/Cards

## **Cards**

* New cards that include the Realization versions of Bosses, it is blue instead of red. Effects are much more powerful than the red ones. For example, Realization Bakunawa, Realization Lord Of The Dead, similar to jRO's LOTV monsters.
* There are fixes of typo errors of prefixes of cards that looked too Korean. It is given western look like that from Diablo, or western RPGs and proper Korean fix. The fixes would be this.
	+ Argiope - Poisonous
	+ Armaia - of Stamina
	+ Hermit Cloud - Cloudy
	+ Dark Knight General - Of Liberation (or Liberal)
	+ Farmiliar - Blinking
	+ Miming - of Deep Sleep
	+ Requiem - of Chaos (or Chaotic)
	+ Phendark - of Soul Gain
	+ Golden Thief Bug - Deaf (or of Deafness)
* There are improvements of cards
	+ Golden Thief Bug - aside from just only nullifying all magic spells by 100%, it also prevents all status/skill ailments (Poison, Stun, Silence, Curse, Coma, Hallucination, GX and SX Poisons, Stone Curse, Knock Back), this will grant players Boss "Protocol" (?).
	+ MVP Randel - +120% bonus max HP
Ragnarok Ground Zero/Instances/Strategy-Celestial Void

The strategy is...

Requirements:

* Must have completed Endless Tower once
* Must have completed Banquet of Heroes

Strategy:

* 600+ STR/INT/DEX should be optional but 1000+ is top priority.
* Have at least 20-30 party members, because it's very dangerous instance. Bring ranged attackers like Genetics, Rangers, Warlocks, Sorcerers, and such. Also have tank with very high VIT or AGL like Asura (formerly Sura), Royal Guards, or Mechanics. Bring nukers/DPSers like Rune Knight with elemental dragon breaths (never use it on Gabriel Celeste). Always have supporters like Archbishops, Maestri (3nd class of Clown), Wanderers to give buffs to party members. In case of death, bring Ygg. leaves. Face the ghostly Doppleganger-like clones of fictional (and copyrighted) characters in fan-sprite form from different franchises. All of them are boss-flagged, because you cannot use any status ailments OR Sense on them, and their health bar is not displayed.
* When fighting ranged attacker characters, make sure bring out equipment with cards with ranged damage reduction from them. (for example, GX must use cross cutter on Duke/Henry Fleming/Soldier-76. Sorcerers should cast Psychic Wave plus Earth Grave.). Pneuma is the best defense, watch out so these enemies can push them back unless they have Strong Shield equipped. Bring out Wanderers/Maestri here to boost ATK/MATK/RATK whatsoever.
* When fighting melee attacker characters. Ranged attackers must keep from distance. (have Geneticists use Cart Cannon if necessary.
* When fighting hybrid characters, be very careful! Royal Guard with Shield Spell is a good choice.
* On a final battle with Gabriel Celeste and Ethereal Queen, bring out Cursed Waters and have Priest Classes or higher cast Aspersio, OR ranged attackers should bring Silver Arrows/Dark Arrows/Shadow Cannonballs/Holy Cannonballs.
* Must bring a charm that equips in inventory of misc, it gives stat boosts.
Ragnarok Ground Zero/items

## **Item Features**

* Item drops can count 1 to 5 from monster drops. This excludes card drops as it can count 1!
* All equipments come in 1-2 affixes (like HP bonus, STR, stat, etc. or whatever.)
* All equipments come 4-slotted. (Enchantments and Card combinations)
* NEW: Item grade. There are 4 item grades (uncommon, rare, epic, legendary) [green, blue, purple, orange]. Non weapon equipment gives 2% additive HP bonus per rarity. To increase rarity, bring Mithril and zeny to special NPC. High ranking enemies drop better grade rare weapons/armors.
* Armor Enchant changes: You will pay 400k zeny many times you want to get random enchants, to component it.
* Failure to enchant or refine after safe limit, will destroy armor or weapon in process, but to instantly kill a character and cost nonrefundable zeny, and to salvage items for crafting armor someday.
Reese Bass

In 1988, Kevin Saunderson released a song titled "Just Want Another Chance," featuring a bass made on his Casio CZ-5000 that would go on to influence musicians in the jungle and early drum and bass genre communities. The sound itself came to evolve over time as it propagated to other genre circles.

The early reese bass was a deep, low square-based sub bass that maintained a rumbling texture, usually attained with a chorus or modulated panning that was dulled with the use of a low pass filter. Modernized versions of the reese bass would incorporate portmanteau or hand-made pitch bends to allow the synth to glide between notes. In EDM communities when basses became more prominent, the reese would take on a buzzier lead bass synth noise by simply shedding its low pass filter and EQing around the drums.

## Recreations

The early reese bass can be made in any synthesizer, but the modern version requires more work or a more sophisticated synth that can do pitch glides.

Kóremek

Kóremek es uno de los seis reinos miembros de la Comunidad de la Gran Espada. Es el mayor de los reinos, ya que casi la totalidad de su territorio lo comprende un enorme desierto. Sus habitantes son parte de la cultura shanidai. Se ubica al sur de Kokutze, Dóredan y los Lagos de Bórquer y limita al este con Portharem, aunque no es una información demasiado conocida.
Harmonic Randomizer

A harmonic randomizer is a setting or a group of settings meant to partially and randomly nudge the harmonics of a synth to randomize its timbre, usually only slightly.

### Harmonic Selection

Straightforward; some dials allow for negative values for grouping everything above the setting and randomizing all of those.

### Harmonic Amplitude Randomness

This selects the function by which the harmonic randomizes itself. You may additionally get to set how much variety is in that randomization.

The same effect can be achieved with a low-volume LFO following a noise wave attached to the harmonics.
Synth Envelopes

This section will deal with the different types of envelopes that can exist for your sound. Previously, envelopes were described as the shape the peaks of the amplitudes of a signal make. In sound design, this definition is applied to the fluctuations of the properties of your sound over time. You may wish to fluctuate the volume, or the pitch (the fundamental harmonic), or the partials/harmonics, or maybe even a dial controlling said frequencies. These manipulations are considered to be how you stage your envelopes.

## Volume Envelope

Also known as an **ADSR envelope**. This envelope (also known as an **envelope generator**) sends instructions about the shape (the upper and lower envelopes) of the sound to the synthesizer's main amplifier. The common properties you can manipulate are:

* **Delay** - how long it takes for the sound to play.
* **Attack** - how long it takes to go from 0db to 100% of your sound's set volume.
* **Hold** - how long it sustains 100% volume.
* **Decay** - how long it takes to dip to the sustain level.
* **Sustain** - the secondary loudness of the sound that remains as long as the piano key is pressed.
* **Release** - the rate at which the sound approaches 0db after the key is released.

Examples:

* Piano key, guitar pluck: Short attack, and nothing but long release afterward.
* Legato violin: Long attack, fairly long hold, fairly long release.

## Pitch Envelope

The pitch envelope function is similar to the volume envelope, but applies independently to the fundamental harmonic of the sound. As the fundamental harmonic is manipulated, the upper harmonic content is translated so that the content is "preserved" for its relation to the source sound.

## Filter Envelope

The filter envelope function is similar to the volume envelope, but applies independently to the harmonics of the envelopes. The fundamental harmonic, the pitch, is unaffected by these controls.

Topic: Basics
DX7 Brass

Released by Yamaha in 1983, the DX7 was an influential instrument in the mid-80s. One of the patches that stood out in lots of music was the DX7 Brass. Its warbly, full tone was elevated to sophistication with the addition of a vibrato tail-end, leading to its influence in synth pop.

The actual DX7 brass is made of the third combination ("algorithm 3" aka preset 3) of six operators that function as a mix of carriers and modulators. The specific configuration is a pair of trios of operators, each trio consisting of two modulators to a carrier.

### Subtractive Analysis

This appears to be a waveform of an elusive timbre created by sine waves with an enveloped low pass filter, some resonance, EQ, and vibrato (frequency LFO but not exactly FM synthesis) that fades in after holding the key long enough. The attack is fairly high, but not enough to be playable at higher tempos.

#### Timbre Analysis

Some experiments to achieve that elusive timbre point to a sort of rounded "W" shape, which makes sense given the appearance of the black box algorithm on the right. There is a waveform in ZynAddSubFX labelled "Chebyshev," which seems to emulate the result of an analog filter on what might be a sawtooth. The second and third harmonics were boosted before applying that enveloped low pass filter and EQ.

This current version of the synth design breakdown is very messy and would need a simpler and cleaner approach from someone who can pull off a cleaner and more loyal-sounding result. Even so, you can still achieve a similar-sounding brass synth with the use of sawtooths and low-pass filters to knock out some of the buzz.

## Recreations

* The DX7 is available as a closely-emulated VST (engine developed by Raph Levien and many other contributors) that is loaded by a host in the DAW.

Donk Bass

The design of the donk bass currently has questionable origins, mainly stemming from UK Hard House, but the best estimate of its debut as a synth design would be 2002-2003 in both the UK Hard Bounce (Quango & Zunie) and Russian Hardbass (XS Project, DJ Snat, Sonic Mine) scenes.

Donk comes as reaction and way of life for the less affluent areas of these respective countries. Bolton, UK is most recognized for its prevalence of donk music, while in St. Petersberg, Russia, hardbass is a musical parody of Slavic stereotypes in the rave scenes. As Slavic musicians and comedians began to embrace the sound, Russian hardbass saw a resurgence in popularity, with a less ironic and more appreciative audience.

The donk bass is a caricature, a percussive warble, whose digital bonk adds bounce to EDM music. It is a simple sound that can be quite melodic, despite its filter's overpowered resonance.

## Recreations

While a number of musicians just sample the donk sound, the donk bass is easy to make with the right tools. The donk bass is a sine wave modulated with a same-octave sine wave operator and a triangle (or quarter-sine, that is acceptable) wave operator whose frequency is multiplied by 3 (so two octaves above). This second operator (as well as the ADSR envelopes on each of the operators) is key to producing the correct timbre.

### Subtractive Attempt

If you do not have access to a two-operand FM synthesizer, subtractive synthesis can approximate the sound. A detuned sine wave mixed with a detuned triangle wave with a high resonance low pass filter on top, usually combined with an ADSR envelope that resembles a pluck or wobble and chorus effects to fill the sound out. This reproduction will not sound perfectly like the donk bass, so experiment to try to get closer to the sound.
