## Features

* Melee weapons are generally divided into two basic types: Bronze and iron weapons. Bronze weapons are faster and more accurate, while iron weapons pierce armor easily.
* Every weapon type deals a specific kind of damage.

## List of weapons

Tools and weapons that deal *Slash* damage.

Oathbreaker

**Oathbreaker** is a weapon in *Tyranny*.

## Background

This mace stays together more through dogged persistence than quality craftsmanship.
Named in mixed tribute to the Vendrien Guard, Oathbreaker is as rugged and unrefined as anything brought to the battlefield. In spite of its unimpressive appearance, Oathbreaker makes for an effective weapon, no matter the loyalty of its wielder.
Occulted Jade

**Occulted Jade**, Archon of Tides, is the founder of the School of Tides, as well as its only ruler. Though she wore the title Archon, Occulted Jade never bowed to Kyros, though many have tried to compel her to do so. Having arrived with the settlers that made landfall at Five Wives, she is perhaps the oldest (known) living Tiersman. Capable of manipulating the oceans, the moons, and all the transitory forms of water, Occulted Jade used her magic to form a cabal of seafaring traders, musicians, and academicians - and it was the dedication to the arts that helped the School endure, for by teaching these trades to the children of noble families, the School remained in the good graces of the realms.

Being able to control most anything cyclical and fluid, Occulted Jade has lived for centuries and could still be alive today - but none know with certainty. In the years before the conquest, the School of Tides discovered the Overlord's plan to invade. Despite all assumptions that the Tier's resident Archon would defend her school and home, to the surprise of everyone, the Archon vanished across the seas, taking nearly the entire School of Tides with her into exile across uncharted waters.

Potions of Elemental Barrier protect soldiers from fire, cold and paralyzing afflictions while offering additional armor against equivalent damage.

Pages of the Screed

**Pages of the Screed** is an item in *Bastard's Wound*.

## Description

These ragged-edged scraps of thin vellum appear to be copied pages of the Screed, a philosophical text popular among the poorer classes within the Tiers. The Screed supposedly vilifies the nobility as rapacious laggards only possessed of their position and influence by dint of circumstance, worse than honest criminals and to be resisted at every opportunity. Only a handful of people could actually read the Screed, most recited it by (approximate) memory from someone else and over the years, dozens of variations of the Screed appeared, each with their own idiosyncratic rants regarding whichever axe the particular author wished to grind.

## Description

The infamous trader captain Rinoxa turned to piracy a century ago in an attempt to strike back at the monopolistic practices of the merchant houses in the Bastard City. Dreaded as much for her cunning as her skill with a blade, her prowess in battle transformed her into a figure of legend - a fame aided by the many biographers that came after her that were intent on competing for the most glamorous (or most anti-heroic) re-envisioning of her story. In particular, young nobles of a romantic bent with martial ambitions idolize her and dream of following her example.

## Location

## Features

The umbilical between you and the resonator conducts the energy like a white-hot chain. It's feeding you something you hardly understand, and doubt you could contain.

* After The Battle of Echocall Crossing, Salveros is found at the Scarlet Chorus camp arguing with Bitter Quip. He accuses the Blood Chanter of killing two Disfavored by proxy, as the Chanter's spell of Frenzy, cast to keep two insurgents in the battle and thus eliminate them, contributed to the death of Devona and Ceveus the Swift in the skirmish. He insists that Quip be sentenced. Quip, on the other hand, cites Magician's Folly, a Kyros law that specifies the mages are not at fault if someone was harmed and the magic was cast for the glory of the Overlord.
Robes of the Adjudicator

**Robes of the Adjudicator** is an item of equipment in *Tyranny*.

## Background

Tunon's robes are notably unwrinkled - likely the effect of time spent hanging midair. The material is stiff and harsh against the skin.

Scholar's Boots

**Scholar's Boots** is an item of equipment in *Tyranny*.

## Background

While these were once a matched pair of quality leather boots, numerous repairs and randomly colored swatches of leather have rendered these boots an asymmetric mess. Caked in layers of ash and soot, it seems a safe bet that these were the boots that carried Lantry away from the cataclysmic dawn of the�Burning Library. Given the amount of the original leather that was lost from these boots, someone following behind Lantry could have cobbled together a whole second pair - which would raise the question of whether or not this second pair could also be considered Lantry's boots.
Scarlet poison

**Scarlet poison** is an item in *Tyranny*.

## Description

When inflicted upon an enemy, Scarlet Poison causes lasting damage.
The Scarlet Chorus' signature venom has been cultivated and developed over hundreds of iterations. As the army expands and conquers nations in Kyros' name, the toxic plants of the region are harvested for future study. Much like the Chorus' methods of conscripting new troops, the plants found suitably lethal are integrated into future concoctions. This practice has been in effect for so long that few, if any, can recall the full list of ingredients or their origins.

Lifting the Banner? She will do it all and more. More than one patron came out of her room crying with joy, having done things they never imagined.
Sigil of Stone

## Description

Evoking energy through the Sigil of Stone takes great force of will as rock is not easily shaped to a human's desire.
Perhaps the newest magical Sigil on Terratus, the Sigil of Stone was developed by disciples of the Archon Cairn. Since the Archon of Stone's destruction by Kyros' Edict in the year 430 TR, the Earth Shaker mages have devoted themselves to preserving Cairn's legacy and learning to harness the power of this obdurate Sigil.

Sableroot

**Sableroot** is an item in *Tyranny*.

## Description

Chewing on a stick of sableroot raises the imbiber's Resolve and delays unconsciousness.
Thought of as a weed in most of Kyros' Empire, the hardy plant is virtually impossible to eradicate without salting the earth in which it grows. This very stubbornness is granted to anyone who imbibes the juices of sableroot. Legends tell of a prisoner, supplied with sableroot by friendly guards, who held out against the worst tortures the Voices of Nerat could devise for days before breaking.
Sigil of Terratus

Rip Throat

**Rip Throat** is a character in *Tyranny*. He only appears if the Crossing is entered without slaughtering the Scarlet Chorus garrison.

A Chorus member playing a rather ruthless joke on Gravin, a Forge-Bound smith.

## Interactions

### Fatebinder Time

* The situation is simple: Gravin implores you to rule in his favor and get Droop Eye and Rip Throat to stop hogging the sexy merchandise.
	+ First, if you have Sirin, ask her to interrogate Droop Eye. It will be revealed that the two Choirmen are playing a ruthless joke on Gravin, to amuse themselves with his flailing.
	+ You can rule in Gravin's favor.→
	+ You can declare that Eye and Throat aren't sick.→
	+ You can bar both from using the performer, annoying poor Gravin.
	+ And the moment the Forge-Bound smith gets cocky, send him to the Bastard City for six months imprisonment for interrupting the Fatebinder and arguing with the ruling.

Sender Cade kill order

**Sender Cade kill order** is an item in *Tyranny*.

## Description

Drawn upon this slip of papyrus is a portrait of Sender Cade that boasts a reasonable likeness to the man in the flesh. A red spiral is inked over Cade's neck. Bereft of words, this is a death notice against Sender Cade - its simple iconography sensible to the illiterate masses of the Scarlet Chorus. Notices like these are disseminated throughout the ranks of the Scarlet Chorus and bounties are paid upon the delivery of a severed head matching the death notice's portrait.
Sage

**Sage** is a generic character in *Tyranny*.

## Background

Members of the defunct School of Ink and Quill, reformed into the Sages' Guild, Sages are lethal spellcasters with an array of destructive spells at their disposal. If possible, make sure they're Silenced with appropriate abilities to prevent them from casting a variety of equally devastating debuffs.
Scarlet Fury Armor

**Scarlet Fury Armor** is an item of equipment in *Tyranny*.

## Background

Cut and tailored to provide an unobstructed range of movement, this tight-fitting leather hauberk is the standard battle dress of the Scarlet Chorus' most fearsome killers. While likely made from animal hides, rumors persist that the Scarlet Furies cure human skin to produce their battle attire. This rumor is largely false - the Scarlet Furies merely dye their armor in human blood; for they long ago discovered humans make flimsy leather.

* Halfgate: Inside the house above Left-Claw (level 1).

Rostrom Lenk

**Rostrom Lenk** is a character in *Bastard's Wound*.

## Background

A weary-looking man observes you through dark, sunken eyes, nodding faintly as you approach. Lenk is the son of the late Rostrom Volus and the heir to the Shattered Bastion. He wandered the Tiers after his father's foolhardy attempt to stand against the forces of Kyros. His family was punished by Cairn, who collapsed the Bastion on their heads. Lenk was the only survivor, with a shattered right arm and leg courtesy of the stone column that pinned him down. He dwelt with the survivors in the Wound ever since that fateful day.

## Interactions

### Quests

* Gambler's Ruin: Lenk desires to expose a potential cheater.
Sentinel

**Sentinel** is a weapon in *Tyranny*.

## Background

Fighters who live to an advanced age will adopt swords like Sentinel early in their career.
Tradition holds that the wielder etches a tasteful representation of their life's path along the flat of the blade, and anyone who picks it up after their death will know their story. This practice gave way to complicated laws of inheritance, and has faded from popularity.

## Location

* Manufactured at a Forge after finding the Broken Hilt. Requires  60  15 and 5 recruits.

ACC\_ART\_ScalesOfMercy

**Scales of Mercy** is an artifact in *Tyranny*.

## Background

The Scales of Mercy are an expression of the Fatebinder's role inspired by the Court.

Twin pans - engraved with the names JUSTICE and CONFLICT - are perfectly weighted, and tip by an invisible force seemingly when you aren't paying attention. Tunon has been known to grant scales like these as gifts to ambitious pupils, offering no explanation of their function or purpose. They are useless for measuring tangible weight, yet they appear to measure something, as the pans are always in motion. The most Tunon has ever offered by way of an answer was to tell a pupil, "Contemplate the role and your place within it. Are you justice, the hammer it swings, or the pedestal on which it stands?"

Past Fatebinders believed that the riddle has no answer, and Tunon simply wishes each of his pupils to arrive at their own conclusions. Others wondered if Tunon himself seeks an answer, and in observing the progress of his Fatebinders he wages a battle of self-discovery.

## Location

* Manufactured at a Forge after researching Plans: Scales of Mercy for  1  1  7 .
Sigil of Force

## Description

Use the Sigil of Force to channel arcane energy into magical forces that push and knock enemies to the ground.
Many mage guilds throughout the centuries discovered the Sigil of Force, and each held it as a jealously guarded secret. As each was conquered and absorbed into Kyros' Empire, they were chagrined to discover that their 'secret' was the most commonly known piece of arcane lore on Terratus.

## Speculation

No known Archon is associated with the Sigil of Force, and given the widespread rediscovery of it, no associated Archon is plausible. This, taken together with the shape of the sigil, suggests the alternate theory that it may be derived from the *Spires* rather than from an Archon. This would both explain why it was believed to be a cunningly-deduced secret (since it breaks the normal rules of sigils), but also why it was discovered in so many places (Spires are ubiquitous).

## Location

* Citadel Barracks: On the table in the scriptorium.
* Gulfglow Oldwalls: Given by Basilon as a reward for completing his quest.
* Random Encounter Stone Sea: Sold by Library Looter
* New Game+: from Phaedrus in Disfavored camp
Sigil of Material Force

Schools of magic

Magic is a powerful and poorly understood force. **Schools of magic** are organizations that focus on understanding an harnessing its power for countless purposes, typically established around a single Archon who is the center of their magic.

## List of schools

* Forge-Bound, iron workers and magical artisans.
* Earthshakers, founded by Cairn after his pledging of fealty to Kyros, currently acting as Disfavored magic corps.

Sigil of Life

## Description

Using the Sigil of Life infuses the target with the energy of the Orphan Midwife, Archon of Rebirth. All but the most serious wounds are healed by this arcane energy.
Though the Orphan Midwife was powerful, her gifts were not suited to resisting the armies of Kyros. She was captured and chained, and her powers harnessed to serve Kyros' armies. Many chroniclers of Kyros' Empire believe her powers were the driving force behind the Empire's quick expansion.

## Location

* Taught by Lantry.
* New Game+: from Phaedrus in Disfavored camp (Scroll: Sigil of Regeneration (Core))
Scovik

**Scovik** is a character in *Tyranny*.

## Background

A captive mage who, by his own admission, is a mass murderer who killed an entire village of people just to see if he could. He pleads for the Fatebinder to end his suffering.

## Interactions

**To learn Sigil of Stone**, the Fatebinder must ask Scovik why he should be sentenced to death (4: "And why would I want to do that?"). He will say, among other things, "I'll teach you a sigil. Then, you kill me."

The Fatebinder can chose to:

* Bash his head against the wall.
* Release him (Disfavored roote).
* See to that he is granted a swift and just end. →
* Sentence him to be crushed by the weight of a rock until dead for breaking Kyros' Peace. →
* Order him tortured by the Scarlet Chorus (Scarlet Chorus roote). →
* Not condemn him to death right now; letting him stay and suffer some more.
	+ *Note that you can't interact further with him if he is left to stew.*
* Declare him free of any wrongdoings under Magician's Folly (though not freeing him).

Note that he will **not** teach you Sigil of Stone if he is killed or released during the *first* and *second* dialogue. For Sigil of Stone you should start with *third* dialogue and then give him any *quick* death option.
Seats of Power

**Seats of Power** is a quest in *Tyranny*.

## Synopsis

You have been witness to your own unique ability to ascend to the tops of Spires. These monolithic structures serve as excellent bases of operation. In order to bolster the war efforts in the Tiers, you should seek out more Spires. Perhaps by doing so you might uncover more of the mystery behind their power, and why you have such an affinity to them.

## Walkthrough

* This activates once Stirring Visions is complete and tracks your progress in unlocking the Spires. To unlock access to Spires, you need to access the runic hall beneath them and activate them by inputting the correct activation sequence (see below for a list of correct runes):
	+ Sunset Spire: If you are already on the Crossing quest chain, complete Forbidden Passage (Disfavored path) or its equivalent on other paths to open the door to the Lethian's Crossing Runic Hall at the Lethian's Crossing Oldwalls - Antechamber. Otherwise, simply enter the antechamber and then the runic hall.
	+ Ocean Spire: Unlock Oldwalls Breach, then enter Blade Grave Oldwalls - West and the Blade Grave Runic Hall.
	+ Dawning Spire: Unlock Howling Rock, then mosey into the runic hall.
	+ Aurora Spire: Unlock Gulfglow Oldwalls, then repeat as above

## Activation runes

* Sunset Spire (Lethian's Crossing)
* Ocean Spire (Blade Grave)
* Dawning Spire (Howling Rock)
* Aurora Spire (Stone Sea)
Sigil of Vigor

## Description

The Sigil of Vigor infuses a target with energy, enhancing the mind or body with greater power.
Vigor can be highly addictive to weaker minds. Ambitious mages in Kyros' court have been known to use doses of Vigor to enthrall courtiers, building networks of power and influence based on their targets desperate need for one more spell.

## Location

* Unlocked at the character creation by choosing vigor spells training.
* Scarlet Chorus camp: Sold by Sniggler Dagos.
* Plainsgate/Halfgate: Sold by Irene.
Sage Lumosa

**Sage Lumosa** is a Spire recruit in *Tyranny*.

## Background

A master trainer who teaches Control Frost, Control Lightning, Control Force, and Control Illusions.
The sage before you is distracted, half-muttering to herself while clutching the half-burnt remains of a scroll. Her hands are in motion, tracing the curves of some unknown rune. You suddenly hear the high-pitched cry of a carrier raven as it plummets to the ground, its feathers completely burnt away.

## Interactions

Sage Lumosa is the only trainer of magic skills at the Training grounds; for skills which she doesn't train, trainers can be hired at the Library.
Salvaged Supplies

**Salvaged Supplies** is an item in *Bastard's Wound*.

## Description

The civil war apparently treated the bearer of this sack of supplies well - at least until they crossed you. Contained within are an assortment of goods, including flatware , bolts of cotton, hemp rope, small figurines, a game board, a sniggling line, a small flute, some copper jewelry, candles, lamp oil, and the other assorted sundries of life in the Tiers. In times of war, such simple necessities are worth good rings to paupers and Archons alike.
