## **History**

A member of the dragon court. He is the second youngest active dragon to Tiamaris, and is frequently accompanying Diarmat or being sent on errands for Sanabalis or the Arkon Lannagaros. Unlike a mortal servitor, the purpose of such errands is always explained to him, and he is asked as a favor rather than commanded.

He is beardless, and has less of the arrogant bearing of other dragons. His dragon form is dark blue.

## **Books**

He appears in the series simultaneously with Diarmat and Sanabalis, when Tiamaris and Ybelline bring Kaylin to the Imperial Palace to witness the questioning of the child Catti.

He also accompanies Diarmat to evaluate Tiamaris' claiming of the tower Tara.

He participates with Diarmat and Tiamaris in the showdown against the Devourer of Words and the opening of the Dreamways portal to the Norannir refugees.

He is mentioned several times as arranging details of Bellusdeo's stay at the Imperial Palace after an arcane bomb destroys Kaylin's apartment. At the emperor's request, he later takes them apartment hunting, though court life has made him unable to grasp the limitations of a private's salary or the need for negotiations with landlords. He accepts the move to Helen as a *fait accompli.*

He checks up on Kaylin after her collapse bringing Gilbert into this reality, offering Bellusdeo her old quarters in the palace.

He flies with the rest of the dragons to attack the false Illumen praevolo and his Aerian rebels as soon as it is clear this is the Black Dragon Outcaste.

He brings a thick packet of documents summarizing what dragons know of Barrani court politics to prep Kaylin for a politically fraught dinner with the Consort and most members of the Cohort (who she had recently attempted to betray and imprison in the Hallionne Kariastos). He stays to talk with Bellusdeo, revealing a nuanced understanding of his junior role in the court.

He is detailed to keep a watch on Bellusdeo when she begins taking long, solo excursions into the fiefs. When Helen lets him in to calm a heated argument about what to do with the un-captained fief of Candallar, he springs to her defense when she transforms into a dragon and burns down Helen's dining hall. He attempts to become captain of Karriamis Fief to impress her and to prevent her from being encumbered by the responsibilities of tower governance. This is as close to a declaration of love as dragons ever make; when he is shadow-poisoned fighting off the Black Dragon Outcaste, Bellusdeo accepts the captaincy so she can use Karriamis' circumscribed god-like powers to heal him.

Illanen

An arcanist and lord of the Barrani High Court. He joined with Baltrin to help Candallar awaken Academia and claim its power for themselves. Though together they wield impressive magics against the protagonists, they are ultimately unable to prevent the Arkon from fully awakening Killianas (avatar of Academia), who thanks them for unintentionally bringing him back, and expels them. Recognizing Illanen's sincere desire for knowledge (unlike his two fellow conspirators), he offers to consider an application to join the student body if he will submit one.
Canatel

A Barrani corporal with the Hawks in the Halls of Law. He faked a fight with his partner Tagraine, to be pulled aside by Teela for a talking-to, and then they attempted to assassinate her. This resulted in his death.

This was later revealed to be part of a wider conspiracy to bring shadow magic and the power of Academia to fieflord Candallar, who would then use it to support a coup overthrowing the High Lord and Consort, but otherwise maintain the status quo by preventing the Cohort from taking (or, at least, passing) the Test of Names.

Elani St

A street where much of the magical trade of Elantra takes place. Though it is full of charlatans, there is also quite a bit of the genuine stuff happening in the shadows as well. It is Kaylin and Severn's beat, and she goes out of her way to knock over the sign in front of Margot's store as the most annoying of the charlatans: a genuine seer who mostly gives false prophecies of what her clients want to hear, and also uses her sexuality to attract more clientele.

The street is also home to Evanton's shop, the portal to the Elemental Garden.

##### Tenants:

* Margot
* Billington
* Evanton
Hawks

One of three branches of the Law in Elantra, analogous to the police force. The other two, the Wolves and the Swords are similar to SWAT teams and National Guard, respectively. All three are housed in the Halls of Law. Despite the name, which suggests composition being primarily Aerian, the force is highly multiracial.

Mallory

## Constant Mallory

The head of Missing Persons in the Hawks, Halls of Law. An insufferable martinet, his multiplication of unnecessary rules and slavish loyalty to unimportant regulations make him despised by his subordinates.

> *"If she'd had that as a name, and she'd been too stupid to change it, she might have developed a few personality ticks."*
>
>

Severn feigns interest in efficiency and reporting to distract him long enough for Kaylin to talk privately to the Tha'alani investigator Draalzyn about the disappearance of a Tha'alani child.

He briefly becomes the acting head of the Ground Hawks when Sgt Marcus is framed for murder, and Kaylin devotes significant effort to circumventing his red tape. Despite his many bad qualities, when Marcus is reinstated, he is astounded at the amount of paperwork the man has processed.

Mellan

One of the younger midwives, Mellan is nonetheless seen as competent enough to do deliveries solo. During the disruptions caused by the magestorm, one of these is a baby boy with three eyes in the Bitton neighborhood. Fortunately, the parents are followers of the three-eyed goddess Iravatari, and see the deformity as a good omen.

Karriamis (fief)

Fief, original Ancestor that became Candallar was Karriamis. The fief is referred to, as customary, by the name if its captain Candallar through the first 15 books until his death. Because the plot of Cast in Conflict revolves around determining his next captain, the fief is often called Karriamis, even after being reluctantly claimed by Bellusdeo.
Riaknon

Riaknon is introduced by Liatt as kin to the Tower's avatar Aggarok. He serves as guard to Liatt and mount to her daughter and heir Liannor. He accompanies both on their first visit to the Academia and Starrante, where this a joyous, if somewhat disquieting reunion between the giant-spider-like beings.

Kevan

## Kevan Smithson

The secretary of the Missing Persons department in the Hawks, Halls of Law. He has eight years of experience there, but had been in the office pool of the Groundhawks before that. Briefly replaces Caitlin as secretary to the Groundhawks, following Sgt. Mallory who doesn't want to work with a woman.

Lillias

## **History**

Lillias was a friend of Moran's mother, helping raise her and rescuing Moran from a HIgh-Court-sanctioned assassination attempt when she was a child. Moran's wings marked her as praevolo, but her mother belonged to no noble house, which threatened the entire concept of hierarchy within the Aerian HIgh Court.

For interfering with the desires of the race's leadership, she was judged Outcaste, her wings were taken, and she was left to die in shame on the ground. Instead, she was befriended and sheltered in Elantra.

## **Books**

We first see her when in the Keeper's Shop, buying magical devices that she asks be delivered by Kaylin to Moran, since the two are housemates in Helen. Kaylin soon realizes the elegant woman who knows so much about Aerian magic must be an outcaste, and arranges for the two to meet. Though Lillias is ashamed of her status, Moran is profoundly grateful for saving her life decades earlier, and uses the magic of the Elemental Garden and later her own magic as praevolo to temporarily give her the power of flight again.
Sword and Shadow

## **Blurb**

**Beyond the Emperor's law**

In exchange for information about his past, Severn Handred joins a Barrani lord on a mission to the West March—an enclave well outside the boundaries of the Empire. Granted a leave of absence from the Wolves, Severn is in danger the moment he steps outside the reach of Imperial law. But the instincts that led him to the Wolves and the sense of duty that keeps him there can’t be discarded as easily as the tabard he wears.

In the heart of the West March, enmeshed in a tangled web of secrets that have been kept for centuries, Severn's belief in justice is going to be tested. There are murders to solve, people to protect, and truths to uncover. It's one mortal man and his single Barrani friend against a community of immortals who will die and kill to keep their secrets. But they’re up against the Wolves now.

### Books Appeared In

Grammayre is the head of the Hawks, a division of the Halls of Law analogous to the city police. Though he himself is Aerian, his force is highly interracial, with "ground hawks" including Barrani (notably Teela and Tain), Humans, Leontine (notably Sgt Marcus, Kaylin's immediate superior), and even Dragons Tiamaris and Bellusdeo at different times.

The series largely results from his decision to rehabilitate the 13-year-old Kaylin after Barren sends her on a suicide mission to assassinate him. Though partially intrigued by the Marks of the Chosen, he also is touched by the tragic past revealed by Tha'alani interrogation. Working with motherly secretary/administrator Caitlin, he helps her find purpose and honor as "mascot" to the Hawks.

Though he appears in nearly every book in the series, he appears only briefly to give assignments or chastisement as necessary.

The exception to this is Cast in Flight, when he invites himself to a high-stakes dinner in Helen with Bellusdeo and The Emperor. He uses the ostensibly informal atmosphere to get unofficial support for Sgt. Moran's claim to be the Illumen praevolo (leader of the Aerians).

Lianne

## LIanne Tsaros

A human private with the Hawks, Halls of Law. Her partner is the inflexible Master Corporal Gavin. She is welcoming of Bellusdeo and fascinated by the familiar Hope. The two assist Kaylin investigate dead bodies found in a basement across the street from Gavin's house.

1. ↑ Ch. 4-5; 17, Cast in Honor
Gilbert

## **History**

Gilbert is a rogue shadow, who managed to achieve enough independence to latch on to Kattea, an orphan in the fiefs at least a decade in the future, then take them both back through time to ask Kaylin for help severing himself from Shadow and prevent a cataclysm from engulfing Elantra. Like other rogue shadows (Spike and the Devourer of Words), he has difficulty adjusting to the physics of this reality, much less its social conventions, so his success in proffering aid to the protagonists is uneven. However, they are ultimately successful, and would not have been without his aid.

This success comes at the cost of Kattea's timeline, so she is marooned in the Elantra of the present. Eventually, Helen is able to create a pocket-dimension similar to a prison cell in her basement to contain Gilbert's shadow-essence, and allow future Kattea to interact with Gilbert, and choose to explore dimensional space with him.
Shadow

Shadow gradually emerges over the course of the series as the "Big Bad", or power behind the other, more proximate villains. Much of the history and geography of Elantra is predicated on the invasion of shadow magic into the fief of Ravellon, turning it from a transdimensional cultural center on the nexus between worlds into a dark hell-dimension from which demonic ferals occasionally emerge to prey upon the residents of the other six fiefs around it. These fiefs each posses a tower, whose purpose is to keep shadow from spreading any farther. This threat is very serious: Bellusdeo emerges from Ravellon to tell the story of an entire world she fought to defend as god-queen, but which eventually fell to shadow, killing or enslaving every sentient being upon it except for the Norannir refugees. As a result, she sees her purpose in existence as the defeat of shadow in this world.

However, shadow's role as invading existential threat is complicated. Though many argue that individual shadows think of themselves as part of a single whole, a transdimensional all-swallowing Shadow, we meet several shadows that attempt or succeed in breaking free from the collective. These include the Devourer of Words, Gilbert, Spike, and even the great shadow Adversary beneath the Barrani High Halls. Interestingly, Kaylin overhears a conversation between Gilbert and Evanton that implies shadow is akin to what we would call entropy, *i.e.* a force of disorder and decay that nevertheless breaks mechanical determinism and possibly underlies evolution, thought, and free will. It can be thought of as a fifth element, and like the other four, is easily controlled in small amounts but becomes sentient and rebellious the more is used. Unlike the other four, at this point it doesn't merely pursue its own goals, but turns and possesses its summoner.

The Arkon Lannagaros uses his private memory records to show the protagonists a shadow-possessed Barrani arcanist who turned on his own High Lord during the climactic battle of the first Draco-Barrani war, giving victory to the dragons. He says the same shadow was behind the second Draco-Barrani war, since neither side started the conflict alone, and suggests that shadow is again collecting agents for an invasion into this world. It is implied that the key first step in this invasion was the possession of the Outcaste Black Dragon Makuron, who then possessed others to murder children and summon forth the Marks of the Chosen, which ended up on Kaylin by mistake.
Arbiter

There are 3 Arbiters, located in the library of the Academia. Together they control the library. They can be called with certain words/books/runes, as was done in Cast in Wisdom by Kaylin. Otherwise, they are functionally asleep, though also immortal. Within Academia, they have powers approaching those of other Sentient Buildings.
Elantra

Main City, home to multiple races. All of the city (except for the fiefs) is ruled by the Dragon Emperor.

## History

The city of Elantra became what it is now after the Draco-Barrani wars ended and the Dragon Emperor took his throne. Prior to that, it is known that the High Halls existed, as did the Keeper's abode.

The fiefs (6 Towers) were created in an extremely short period of time. This happened during one of the Draco-Barrani wars. The Ancestors knew that Ravellon was falling to Shadow, and to avoid the spread outwards, they created the fiefs.
Cast in Atonement

## **Blurb**

In the City of Elantra, only one holds the key to peace—or eternal darkness.

At the end of three long wars, Bellusdeo is the last of her kind, the sole surviving female Dragon in the City of Elantra. When she appears one evening on the doorstep of her former roommate, Corporal Kaylin Neya, her demeanor is dreadful—more so than what’s expected of the Dragons’ notoriously tempestuous temperament. Kaylin’s new roommate, Mrs. Erickson, is quick to see the reason for Bellusdeo’s despair—the eight ghosts of the Dragon’s dead sisters, chained to her and unseen. Pleading for release, revenge and, above all, peace.

Now Kaylin and Mrs. Erickson must embark on a perilous journey, from the hallowed halls of the Academia to the depths of forbidden magic, to confront the very essence of mortality itself. Can Kaylin help release the untapped power within Mrs. Erickson to save Bellusdeo’s sisters…or will unlocking the past plunge the realm into an unfathomable darkness forever?
Tain

## Books

### Books Appeared In

Cast in Moonlight, Cast in Shadow, Cast in Courtlight, Cast in Secret, Cast in Fury, Cast in Silence, Cast in Chaos, Cast in Ruin, Cast in Peril, Cast in Flame, Cast in Honor, Cast in Flight, Cast in Deception, Cast in Oblivion, Cast in Wisdom, The Emperor's Wolves, Shards of Glass

Tain is a fearsome Barrani warrior, who left the High Court to be Teela's partner when she joined the Hawks in the Halls of Law. He is described as physically a twin of her, and carries the same assured confidence. Though generally present for the many adventures involving Teela and her pseudo-adopted sister Kaylin, he is mostly silent, though he occasionally makes a sarcastic comment. He is an excellent and not-reluctant fighter, and drinks heavily in frequent contests with Teela on the frequent occasions when they go out.
Abyline

A river running through Elantra. It is described as making an almost-complete ring through the heart of the city. Within this ring lie the seven Fiefs (with shadow-possessed Ravellon in the middle of the other six), while on the outside of the ring lie the more affluent neighborhoods under the rule of Imperial Law. Even slums like the Warrens are free of ferals and can appeal to the Halls of Law for justice. Therefore, "crossing the river" has serious implications for all citizens.
Orbaranne

Orbaranne is the name of the last and grandest of the Hallionne, a series of Sentient Buildings that mostly serve as waystations along the long road from Elantra to the West March. However, Orbaranne is closer in role to a secondary palace for Barrani royalty, and the permanent seat of the Lord of the West March, the highest rank outside the High Court. The Warden of the West March (currently Barian) lives there, caring for his two eagles the Dreams of the West March, along with many other Barrani Lords. These can manifest in any form, and are comfortable existing on multiple planes at once, leading Kaylin to speculate they belong to the Morphosys race.

Like all known sentient buildings, Orbaranne has a series of True Words hidden at her heart, that influence her attributes and her usual manifestation as a small girl. Portals within Orbaranne opens into the Outlands as with many buildings, but also into the The Heart of the Green, a special region of the Outlands (or possibly an entirely different dimension) where the race's most important religious ceremony, the Regalia, takes place every 10 years or so. It was a misguided attempt to manipulate a Regalia within Orbaranne that created the Cohort and set Teela on her life path.

She shelters Kaylin and Bellusdeo when they are teleported to the West March by the Water Elemental in the Keeper's Shop, despite malcontents in the High Court forming a war party to drive out the "marauding dragon".

Baltrin

## Lord Baltrin

Baltrin is a lord of the Human Caste Court, and one of the few human Arcanists. He and Lord Illanen joined Candallar in his scheme to kidnap students to awaken the Academia and claim it. However, because they were able to find only Starrante's book and not that of the other two Arbiters, their claim was weak and Candallar was never referred to by any of the faculty as anything but "interim chancellor". Baltrin attempts unsuccessfully to trick Killianas into revealing the location of the other Arbiter books, and compel Androsse to follow him once Kaylin awakens him in the library.

With his two allies, they fight an even battle against the Arbiters, Bellusdeo, and Emmerian until the Arkon brings Killianas fully awake and he expels them.
Karian

## Karian of Reymar

One of the mostly-silent members of the Cohort, characterized as "grimmer and more controlled than any of the others."

Kaylin's retrieval of his name, witnessed by the Ferals in thrall to Iberrienne, is a turning point in his failure to seize control of the Hallionne Orbaranne. After the Cohort returns to Elantra and move into Helen, he is one of the few who is able to argue passionately without loosing physical cohesion. He accompanies Sedarias on her dangerous political visits to the High Halls as a guard. Though of the line Reymar, he is now the direct bloodline heir to Illmarin and could take that title if he chose. The broken banner of Reymar is the first one Kaylin recognizes on the battlefield of Sedarias' pocket dimension, suggesting to her the nature of Sedarias' fear.

Regalia

The principal religious ceremony of the Barrani. It involves stories told using True Words at the Heart of the Green in the West March. It almost always includes a Harmoniste providing the words and a Teller who places all the words into a coherent story, which becomes a reality. If the Teller is unable to place all the words, the magical discharge can wreak havoc on the participants and surroundings.

A perversion of the Regalia involving 12 Barrani children (including Teela) attempted to create enhanced warriors that could defeat the Dragons and end the Dragon Wars. When it became clear the ceremony was perverting the children's True Names, Teela's mother intervened at the cost of her own life. This prevented them from being destroyed or shadow-possessed, but sent all but Teela into an intermediate dimension within Hallionne Alsanis. The resulting in-fighting within the Barrani High Court allowed the Dragons to sweep to victory and Dariandaros establish himself as Emperor.
Test of Names

The Test of Names is a grueling, often fatal, ordeal which all Barrani must undergo in order to become Lords. Many respected warriors opt not to jeopardize themselves (Tain) for the sake of political position. The specifics of what the test taker undergoes is a deeply held secret among the Barrani, so we get little indication of what a typical test is like. However, judging on the test experienced by Kaylin and Severn, a series of trials is set to test the emotional stability, maturity, and pain tolerance of the aspirant. After all of these, the central trial occurs where an aspirant must somehow retrieve a True Name from the Lake of Names that represents who they are. This choice, if correct, will be confirmed and pronounced (often in song) by the Consort, technically Namebinding all Barrani nobles to her. It is not clear how typical this test was, because it was the first time it was passed by a mortal, by two people in tandem, and certainly by both of those conditions at once.

It is speculated by many during the series that the possession of True Names is what grants the Barrani their immortality; it is certain it is what grants them their political power within the HIgh Court. The decision of most of the Cohort to take the test is therefore highly momentous, as it would create ten new senior Lords, changing the leadership of numerous houses and the balance of power across the race. Much of the plot of Cast in Deception, Cast in Oblivion, and Cast in Wisdom revolves around what is eventually revealed as a wide-ranging conspiracy by Barrani leaders who would be displaced or diminished by this power shift.

Those who fail the test are believed by most to die; however, Kaylin saw that they become slaves to a powerful Shadow, called Adversary in later books, which is in turn imprisoned beneath the High Halls. The souls of these dead-and-alive Barrani experience torment, and their pain is also heard by the Consort. The previous Consort gave up her life and title to free her son, the current High Lord, from this hellish existence, though it left him vulnerable to becoming Namebound to others.

The defeat (severing) of Adversary at the end of Cast in Oblivion releases the souls (presumably into death), and permanently changes the consequences of failure. It is not clear how much of this is told to the rest of the High Court, or the Barrani at large.

Tha'alani

The Tha'alani a race of telepaths, able to read the thoughts and experiences of others by contacting them with the two flexible stalks that grow from the top third of their foreheads. This ability has shaped every aspect of their society, both by shaping their attitudes towards each other and outsiders towards them.

Perhaps the most significant consequence of this power was the creation of the Tha'alaan, or a universal race memory, with the aid of a powerful Water Elemental as a means of convincing bigoted warlords they were not bent on genocide. This access to the experience of any member of the race means secrecy is a foreign concept, and even privacy is tricky. As a result, they take a casual attitude toward nudity, sex, marriage, ownership, class, and so forth which frequently deeply shocks members of other races.

They are frequently employed by the Emperor and Halls of Law to conduct interrogations. However, they do not enjoy the contact with the deeply alien thoughts of other races, especially since those being interrogated are frequently the most violent and mentally repugnant exemplars of those races, full of disturbing memories of their crimes. Therefore, only the toughest members of the community leave the safety of the ghettoizedTha'alani Quarter to experience the equivalent of violent psychosis.

This is poorly understood by most Elantrans, who mostly view them as prying spies, and are frequently close to violence against them. Kaylin, overcoming her own traumatic encounter with the interrogator Garadin at age 13, comes to appreciate their gentle and genuine society. She helps imperial playwright Richard Rennick come to recognize this also, and create a fictionalized account of how they helped prevent a tidal wave from damaging the city to prevent race riots.

Cast in Silence, Cast in Chaos, Cast in Ruin, Cast in Peril, Cast in Flame, Cast in Wisdom, Cast in Conflict, Shards of Glass

Tara is one of the six remaining towers in each of the habitable fiefs, meant to stop of the spread of Shadow into the world.

In Cast in Silence, her fief is disrupted by unstable magic and especially dangerous one-off ferals. The Barrani High Lord and Consort speculate that these presage a full-blown mage storm, which the lord of her fief Barren is unable to stop because he never truly conquered her, merely serving as a figurehead for Illien. Kaylin and Severn are caught in a mage storm that takes them back in time; they and a young Nightshade enter the tower, and she is forced to confront her many murders while working as Barren's enforcer. When she reaches the dome of the Hawklord, the tower's avatar appears as a winged woman with her own face, offering her god-like power to fix people's lives and protect their children. Kaylin recognizes her inability to use so much power wisely, names the now-childlike avatar Tara after her mother, and uses her power as Chosen to ask it to embody love, compassion and safety to the citizens of the fief. This rewriting of the tower's True Words breaks what remains of Illien's control, and (cast back to the present by another mage storm) Severn and Nightshade are able to corner him in one reality and kill him. Masterless, Kaylin is afraid she will need to claim the tower to prevent it's dissolution, but Tiamaris not only accepts the lordship, he declares the fief to be his hoard as well.

In sharp contrast to the other towers, Tara frequently interacts with the poor citizens of her fief, adopting an approachable guise of a young girl wearing gardening clothes stained by work she does physically. She helps Kaylin with various investigations, including the discovery and integration of Bellusdeo from her nine bodies, shelter for the Norannir refugees (in Cast in Ruin), magical maps and tracking of people in her fief (in Cast in Peril), and a safe reentry into the world from the Outlands for the beleaguered Barrani Cohort (in Cast in Deception).

Wevaren

## History

A race of intelligent, magical, immortal spider-like beings. Never numerous, their homeland was in Ravellon before it fell, wiping out or possessing all but the temporally-displaced Starrante. Though they usually move with their head touching their abdomen (as with terrestrial spiders), at rest they extend their head on long telescoping necks. They also have many more than the eight eyes of terrestrial spiders, all over their bodies and on extensible stalks. They are larger than humans, with adults reaching well over seven feet in height. Their legs also bend in both directions.

Adults are adept at weaving portals, and nests are built in extensible subspaces. Each spiderling possesses a fragment of a True Name, and becomes a whole being by consuming its nestmates until only one remains with a complete Name. They find the attitude of other races towards their young bizarrely sentimental.

50k1 Server

**50k1 servern** eller bara **50k1** är en fyra år gammal server som spelas på av vänner. Servern ägs och drivs av spelaren Viddd0 men MisterBastian (f.d Tubruk) och HardManJapaleno är delägare och har endast beslutande röster och admin inom drivandet.

## Hosten

### Aternos-tiden (2019-20)

Under servern start och tidiga historia hostade Viddd0 servern på aternos.org som var gratis. Det var en väldigt laggig period på servern då det inte kunde vara mer personer än 3 samtidigt utan att det skulle lagga.

### Hamachi-tiden (2020-22)

Under serverns längsta period så hostades servern på Viddd0's dator och spelare kunde komma in på servern med hjälp av ett program som heter hamachi, därför fick denna tid bli kallad "Hamachi-tiden". När servern var hostad på detta vis var det mycket mer laggfritt på servern.

### Pebble-tiden (2022-)

Under denna tid används en betald host kallad Pebblehost.com. Servern är helt laggfri och kostar ungefär 90 kr i månaden.

## Historia

### Bakgrund

Servern startades av Viddd0 och MisterBastian när servern dom tidigare spelat på kraschade. Starten var pg.a att dom orkade inte vänta på att server ägaren gick online och startade den.

### Den första tiden (2019-20)

Detta var den första tiden där spelarna som spelade då tyckte var som roligast.

#### Devalons första tid

När Viddd0 och MisterBastian skapade servern och först loggade in så började dom hugga träd och gick till ett ställe dom ville bygga sina första hus. Där byggde dom sina första hus. MisterBastian byggde också en farm nere vid en å. Senare gick Bastian och byggde ett annat större hus längre bort. Senare bjöds TheWhiteUnicorn5 in på servern och byggde ett hus på andra sidan ån. Vid denna tid hade Viddd0 också byggt en workshop bredvid sitt hus. Sedan runt Januari 2020 blev HardManJapaleno inbjuden och byggde ett hus i skogen. Senare började en massa hus att byggas men såg väldigt dåliga ut.

#### Rookias första tid

Viddd0 och MisterBastian gick någon gång 2019 ut och byggde en stad vid ett stenigt område men bara ett hus byggdes, Sedan övergavs staden ett bra tag.

#### Overhangs första tid

Någon gång tidigt 2020 gick HardManJapaleno och Viddd0 ut och letade ett ställe för Isac aka HardManJapaleno att bygga en stad på. Dom hittade ett ställe med block som hängde över ett bra ställe för att bygga ett hus, därmed kom namnet Overhang. Isac byggde en outline och golv till ett hus men byggde inte färdigt huset på många månader.

#### Statsrevolution

Under 2020 så började allt få ett system. Valuta, Serverns politik m.m Nya städer grundades och nya spelare gick med i servern.

### Gulderan (2020-2021)

Under 2020-21 så grundades mer städer, både Devalon och Overhang uppdaterade sin byggstil.
Flou

Flou är en stad grundad av Tubruk.

## Historia

En dag på ett äventyr så hittade Tubruk ett fint ställe. Där skapade han Flou, inspirerat av Overhang. Staden fick heta Flou istället för Flouh.

En gång så skapade Viddd0 massor av bin, så han var tvungen att spränga upp dem med hjälp av RandomStam. De byggde om allt de hade förstört och adderade lite, också.
Vidars Workshop

* 2022-
* 2019-20

**Vidars Workshop** är en av dom äldsta byggnaderna på servern som ligger i centrum av Devalon.

Byggnaden har blivit ombyggd ett flertal gånger men har under den största tiden sett ungefär likadan ut.

## Historia

Dagen då servern skapades bestämde Viddd0 sig att bygga en workshop bredvid sin lagerlokal.

### Den första shoppen

Den första shoppen byggdes samma dag som servern skapades men med ek trä. Butiken han aldrig användas till någon innan den revs.

### Den andra shoppen

Den andra shoppen (2020-21) användes för samma syfte men hade byggts ihop med lagerlokalen plus en ny källare.

### Den nya shoppen

2022 Byggdes en ny shop, bättre design för att passa andra delen av Devalon bättre.
True Words

True words lie at the heart of the magical system of the Elantra-verse. Speaking words in the Old Speech causes assertions to become reality with all the unexpected consequences that entails. When Kaylin facetiously asks if you can tell someone to "have a nice day" in the Old Speech, Terrano answers that "If the Ancients had said it, it would have been a very nice day. Instantly. Completely." The creation myth of the Leontines (and possibly the Aerians) is what caused them to exist; when Sanabalis recites part of it to ensorcelled Leontines it breaks their enchantment.

True Words are carved into the heart of sentient buildings, including the Hallionne and Helen, granting them god-like power within themselves, but also making them vulnerable to those who can use True Words to rewrite their essence.

It is implied that the Marks of the Chosen allow Kaylin to passively see True Words as glowing three-dimensional glyphs in the air, a feat only the most powerful magicians can achieve and then only with intense effort. Though the glyphs are generally made of light, in some cases she is able to hold/edit them with her hands, or even be cut on their serifs. This also allows her to manipulate word-based entities, a power she generally uses to heal the injured or increase autonomy (e.g., The Barrani Cohort and Gilbert).

The complexity of the glyph is related to the concept it denotes; the True Word for honesty is considerably simpler than the True Name of a world which Kaylin says might take a century for a Barrani to read completely.

The Emperor's Wolves

## **Blurb**

**At the Emperor’s command**

Multiple races carefully navigate the City of Elantra under the Dragon Emperor’s wing. His Imperial Wolves are executioners, the smallest group to serve in the Halls of Law. The populace calls them assassins.

Every wolf candidate must consent to a full examination by the Tha’alani, one of the most feared and distrusted races in Elantra for their ability to read minds. Most candidates don’t finish their job interviews.

Severn Handred, the newest potential recruit, is determined to face and pass this final test—even if by doing so he’s exposing secrets he has never shared.

When an interrogation uncovers the connections to a two-decade-old series of murders of the Tha’alani, the Wolves are commanded to hunt. Severn’s first job will be joining the chase. From the High Halls to the Tha’alani quarter, from the Oracles to the Emperor, secrets are uncovered, tensions are raised and justice just might be done…if Severn can survive.

## Priserna

### The Best Building

The Best Building var det första priset på servern som endast varade i 2 år (2020-21).

The Best building utgavs till "den" bästa byggnaden på servern varje år av Viddd0.

#### Vinnarna

2020: Su Tart Mining AB - Kontoret var den bästa byggnaden på servern med ägaren av företaget TheWhiteUnicorn5 som designer och byggare men bygget höll inte sig i "modet" länge.

2021: TheWhiteUnicorn5 - Igen med Pontus som vinnare men den här gången hans egna hus i hans egna stad.

### Årets Snyggaste Stad

Årets Snyggaste Stad är det årliga priset som utdelats varje år från 2020 och fortsätts delas ut än idag med Viddd0 som jury och utdelare

#### Vinnarna

2020: Overhang City - Staden var den bästa som sätts hittills med karaktär och bra design. Staden är mestadels byggd av stats ägaren HardManJapaleno men några väldigt få hus är byggd av andra invånare

2021: Overhang City - December 2021 så hade mer byggnader byggts men också många andra blivit helt ombyggda med mörka spruce plankor istället för dess ikoniska ljusa ek.

2022: Overhang City - December 2022 så har staden stannat av lite men ändå håller den sig i design. Dessutom har stadens så kallade "Moderna del" blivit helt ombyggd med terräng så den håller sig bättre med resten av staden.
