Aera

Welcome to Aera, a bustling city with lots to see and do. If this is your first time here, Trolls and Kobolds have been spotted nearby recently, help us fight them back. You'll find them at Aera Countryside and Aera Swamplands. If you get injured, come back here and rest at the inn. You can also buy a house from the town hall if you can afford it.

### Aera is connected to:

## Notes

Aera is the place where all new players start and is a place where players may respawn if they're close by when they died.

☀If you are new to the game, check out the Quick Start Guide for some tips.

There is a newly add NPC called Grizzled Veteran when clicked on says *"Welcome to Initium! Challenge awaits.. This is an unforgiving world, with many adventures ahead. If you feel prepared, venture out into the wilds. Otherwise, try out the tutorial. Click here to enter the tutorial! Please contact a developer if there any issues with it :)"* Entering the tutorial strips your character down, if you have anything equipped, and places it in your inventory then equips a tutorial version of Open Faced Helm, Leather Armor, Chain Shirt, Leather Pants, Leather Boots, Steel Longsword, and Light Steel Shield. Each piece has a flavor text on the chances of being attacked on that armor.

*"This item equips to your helmet slot. Whenever you are attacked, this item will be chosen to block the swing 10% of the time.*

*This item equips to your chest slot. Whenever you are attacked, this item will be chosen to block the swing 50% of the time. If this item is chosen to block, the shirt slot will also roll to block (regardless of if the damage done to you is completely blocked by this item or not).*

*This item is a shirt, which means it's a bit special. Whenever the chestpiece is chosen as the item to block an attack(50% of the time), this item will ALSO roll to block that attack.*

*This is a glove item. Whenever you are attacked, this item will be chosen to block the swing 5% of the time.*

*This item equips to your leg slot. Whenever you are attacked, this item will be chosen to block the swing 30% of the time.*

*This item equips to your boot slot. Whenever you are attacked, this item will be chosen to block the swing 5% of the time.*

*This item is a weapon! When equipped in combat, this item will attack the enemy for the damage type listed (Slashing, in this case) The Weapon Damage is listed in the form of a dice roll. This weapon for example, rolls a single six-sided dice to determine damage, hence 1d6. Another example of a damage roll is "3d7". On each swing, that weapon will roll a 7-sided dice three times, and then add up those results. This weapon has a chance of being a critical hit (2x multiplier on this sword) based on the critical chance written on the weapon. Just like the shield, it rolls to block on every attack.*

*This item is a shield, it rolls to block against every attack."*

Entering the tutorial will send you to the (Tutorial) Windswept Plains and the log will say *"Welcome to Initium! You've been transported to a zone for your use. Everything you get here will be removed when you leave. From here, you have two options. You can look at your inventory by clicking on the little bag button, and then look at your items. Or, you can explore and jump into combat right away. Either way, stay safe! Make sure to heal at the Safe Refuge if you take damage."*
