Sandfire: /* Clan List */

There are a several clans in EUO and all have various requirements. Being in a clan is purely optional. Currently, the only advantage to being affiliated with a clan is the clan chat feature (using "/c <text>") used for fun and easy talk between friends in your clan.

==About /makekey - added Nov 20, 2005==
Clan leaders can (and have always been able to) create keys for their hall and give them out to clan members. The disadvantage with this was that when a member left or was expelled, then they could still have a key to the hall.

The rule for how the key works has been changed. Any clan hall key can open any clan hall lock PROVIDING the player unlocking is a member of that clan hall.

Eg:
# a member of KoT can open any lock in KoT with any clan hall key.
# anyone with a SPAM key cannot open the front door to SPAM, unless of course they are a member of SPAM

Tinkering

2005-12-10T07:19:29Z

Sandfire: /* Jewellery */

Tinkering is all about making tools, provisions, and other bits and pieces used by the other crafting professions. If you can't buy it from a [[Shoppes#Provisioner|provisioner]] chances are you'll need a tinker to make it.

==Overview==

Tinkering requires a ''tinker's toolkit'', a combined collection of various crafting tools, which is available from a [[Shoppes#Provisioner|provisioner]].

==Raw Materials==

Tinkers require one of the most diverse set of materials to work, drawing their parts from several other crafts. Items such as ''ingots'', ''poles'' and ''brass sheets'' are manufactured, ''mesh'' and ''leather'' can be purchased, whereas ''raw glass'' must be collected.

===Ingots===

These are the regular ingots that are smelted from ordinary ore by your average [[Mining|miner / metallurgist]]. Many experienced Tinkers will also be good miners due to their constant demand for basic metal ingredients.

===Poles===

Poles are easily made from logs by anyone with basic [[woodcrafting]] skills. As with smelting ingots, many Tinkers have a rudimentary knowledge of to ensure a steady supply of poles.

===Raw Glass===

Raw glass can be found by hunting for [[Bestiary|sand traps]] in the desert regions of [[New Sosaria]]. Beware, for they have quite a bite.

===Brass and Silver Sheets===

A trained [[Weaponsmith]] or [[Armourer]] can hammer ingots into sheets. Currently they are able to hammer brass and silver ingots into brass and silver sheets respectively.

==Tinkering Recipes==

The tinkering recipes are broken up into three sections: basic items, jewelry and crafting tools. The last set contains all of the tinted tools required by crafts such as [[Weaponsmith|weaponsmithing]] and [[Armourer|making armour]].

Use ('''u''') your tinker's toolkit with the necessary raw ingredients in your inventory to craft an item.

Tinkering, like most actions, can be repeated with '''F9'''

===Basic Items===

These items are essentially complete and are used by other trades and crafts to facilitate their skills.

|}

Making items, like most crafting, can be repeated with '''F11'''

===Jewelry===

Jewelry is made with a tinker's toolkit and various raw materials, such as gold nuggets, leather and coloured gemstones.

The main purpose of jewellery is to get an [[Enchanting_and_Polypiling|enchanter]] to imbue it with a magical effect, like additional defense, enhanced night vision or magic resistance.

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="background:#f0f0f0"

|-
| '''necklace with emerald''' || leather + emerald || 40
|-
| '''necklace with sapphire''' || leather + sapphire || 40
|-
| '''ankh''' || leather + silver ingot || 50
|}

Making jewellery, like most crafting, can be repeated with '''F11'''

===Crafting tools===

The tinker is responsible for making all of the tools required by the [[Tailoring|tailor]], the [[Mining|metallurgist]], the [[Weaponsmith]] and the [[Armourer]] to make their items, including tinted items. A tinker can make all these tools, as they may or may not be for sale from a [[Shoppes|shoppe]]. See [[Item_Materials|item materials]] for more info.

For example: 
* A metallurgist requires ''copper tongs'' to make copper ingots.
* A weaponsmith requires a ''copper smiths' hammer'' to make copper weapons.
* An armourer requires a ''copper armourer's hammer'' to make copper armour.

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="background:#f0f0f0"
| rowspan="2" | '''tool''' || rowspan="2" | '''ingredients''' || colspan="7" | '''skill per material'''
|-
| '''ordinary''' || '''copper''' || '''silver''' || '''gold''' || '''b'rock''' || '''venomous''' || '''vampyric'''
|-
| '''smelting tongs''' || ingot || 30 || 50 || 45 || 40 || 65 || 55 || 60
|-
| '''smith's hammer''' || ingot + pole || 30 || 60 || 55 || 50 || 75 || 65 || 70
|-
| '''armourer's hammer''' || ingot + pole|| 30 || 65 || 60 || 55 || 80 || n/a || n/a
|}

For Tailors and their sewing kits, it is similar:
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="background:#f0f0f0"
| rowspan="2" | '''tool''' || rowspan="2" | '''ingredients''' || colspan="6" | '''skill per material'''
|-
| '''ordinary''' || '''silverweave''' || '''goldweave''' || '''darkweave''' || '''boiled''' || '''studded'''
|-
| '''sewing kit''' || ingot || 30 || 45 || 40 || 65 || 50 || 70
|}

Making tools, like most crafting, can be repeated with '''F11'''

==Brass Golems==

The Grand Master Tinker can now create her/his own pet: a brass golem.

'''Ingredients required:''' 
*50 regular ingots
*50 brass ingots
*10 brass sheets
*1 golem power crystal.

The power crystal can be found perhaps on the corpse of another non-functioning golem, but finding a crystal undamaged will prove a difficult task.

Once the golem is crafted, an ''inanimate golem'' will be in the tinker's inventory. Drop this item on the ground and it will spring to life. If the tinker has no pet already, then this golem will become their new pet. If the tinker has a pet already, then the golem will be a neutral creature which will disappear after a time.

To ''feed'' your golem, use ('''shift+u''') brass ingots on it. Think of it as ''repairing'' rather than feeding.

Complete History of New Sosaria

Sandfire: /* Timeline */

This page should be called 'the Incomplete History of New Sosaria'.

Contains spoilers, useless info, plot, things past, present and future, unwritten quests and vague characters.

==How New Sosaria Came to Be==
Already explained in flowery english here: [[History of New Sosaria]].

In the canon (ie OSI) version of events, Mondain's gem was shattered and destroyed. Each shard of the gem created an alternate picture of Sosaria with its own history and future. New Sosaria that we know in EUO is one of these shards. Its timeline co-exists with the canon history - it could be considered an alternate history or even a parallel universe.

So with the destruction of the gem came the creation of New Sosaria's own timeline, landscape, populace and version of events. The more time passes, the more the emerging history of New Sosaria diverges from the story chronicled in Ultima I-V and beyond.

==Landscape==
[[Image:sosaria.gif|thumb|left|"Ye Olde Sossaria" - click to enlarge.]] First there was Sosaria, probably not unlike the Sosaria known in Ultima III. There was great upheaval etc, and the land was reformed into Sosaria - what we know as the western hemisphere of New Sosaria today. Tanelorne was yet to be discovered.

 

==Timeline==
The 3 digit number number is a year. 000 represents the creation of New Sosaria. (each RL day is 1 month EUO. There are 30 euo years in 1 RL year. Some of these timeline dates correllate directly with events in the creation of EUO)

* with the destruction of the shard of immortality in the Canon-universe, the EUO-verse is created with it's own timeline
* Lord Eggleton arrives through a moongate, befriends Shamino, becomes king (this actually happened before the above, if you can believe that)
* Lord Eggleton defeats Mondain, Minax and Exodus, possibly with help from a 'stranger'
* Kazadoom, the last refuge of the dwarves, is invaded by giants, orcs, and minotaurs, and the dwarves are made extinct
* With the destruction of Exodus and the end of the dark age, the lands are reformed, the moon 'Trammel' is cast out of its orbit, and Sosaria becomes Ye Olde Sosaria
* Kaswel Keep and the New Sosaria Library are completed. Nestor made head librarian.
* Tanelorne discovered (much earlier than in-game time but who's going to know) - the world consisting of Ye Olde Sosaria (renamed to Sosaria West) and Tanelorne collectively known as New Sosaria
* Lord Eggleton steps back through a portal to do the quest of the avatar then comes back (as chronicled in Ultima IV)
* Lord Eggleton decrees that there isn't enough 'virtue' and the shrines are created
* Patrick, Estorrath, Byron and Golwid part ways. Golwid assumes control of Kazadoom (or some of it). Patrick moves to Bakyre (with his fortune). Byron and Estorrath move to Tanelorne.
* The great council of wizards is formed, including Estorrath, Virgil, Henry and others.
* A shrine for the Codex is erected in the far Southeast of New Sosaria on an island, but Lord Eggleton does not yet raise the Codex.
* The [[Runic|Runic alphabet]] of Old Sosaria is dropped in favour of the English alphabet.
* The lich Xile gets imprisioned in his own underground fortress.
* Lord Eggleton is summoned away again to rescue Lord British (as chronicled in Ultima V) - he is yet to return.
* 004: Lord Broden's Keep is built.
* 009: Patrick elected Mayor of Bakyre.
* 030: Byron assumes control of Tanelorne, making himself a lord.
* 071: the 8 shrines to virtue are finally completed.

==Characters==
===Lord Eggleton===
Benevolant ruler or something; currently MIA in the canon-shard on a mission to rescue Lord British from the underworld. Rumour has it that he forgot the ''sandalwood box'', and won't be coming back to New Sosaria any time soon.

===Estorrath===
Is a retired member of the great council of wizards. Has a rivalry with Nestor of the library.

Is it merely a coincidence that his name bears an uncanny resembelance to that of the Shadowlord of Hatred, ''Astaroth'' ?

===Old Henry===
Estorrath's older brother, likes fishing and isn't as silly as he seems. Another great wizard that was, he knows the cure for lycanthropy.

===Lord Byron===
Lord of Tanelorne. Wife has died recently and until he gets his bronze statue of her, he remains sad. Has 3 advisors working for him: Shamino the rogue, Virgil the Mage and Greyson the fighter. Used to run with Patrick, Estorrath and Golwid the minotaur king under Kaza.

===Virgil===
Byron's advisor, mage, once on the council of wizards.

===Greyson===
Byron's advisor, fighter.

===Shamino===
Byron's advisor, rogue. This is the same Shamino that Lord Eggleton first met when he stepped through the moongate and into Sosaria for the first time.

===Lord Broden===
Brother of Lord Byron (hence the same avatar). A player, missing in action. His legacy: an empty keep south of Mirkwood.

This castle needs to be taken over: maybe appropriated by some new overlord upstart of Sosaria west, or by hostiles (to become a hunting ground), or maybe by some friendly political faction.

===Nestor the Librarian===
Nestor is in charge of the recovery of lost books, but he is probably also cheif librarian. Among other things, he orders the 'recovery' of Estorrath's Journal (for reasons unknown), which contains nothing but recipes for 'dropped pie'. Other books he needs recovery of:

*Chronicles of Nchuleft
*Beyond good and Evil
*Necromancer
*Interview with the Vampire
*Estorrath's Journal

===Conrad===
Nestor's younger brother and head librarian of the Bakyre Library. While he runs a smaller library than his brother, he has the same fascination with books and is wiser than he lets on. He is looking to recover the following books:

*The Emerging Underworld

===Saldath, Zazaram & Titania===

In the spirit of the age, a mighty adventuring band set out to explore the newly created / accessible Underworld, to spread the Virtues across the whole of Sosaria. Amidst their number were the mage Zazaram, the warrior Saldath and his bride, the tinker Titania. They had been at the forefront of clearing the Dungeons of dangerous creatures and pacifying the land. Their leader Saldath had created an order of Paladins and created many Keeps dedicated to the Virtues (eg Thantos Keep). Unfortunately, they discovered a sliver of the Shard of Hatred, guarded by many Balrons, in a fortress deep under the Underworld itself. Saldath, sensing great power in it, kept it, and his lover Titania forged it into an amulet that gave him power over Hellspawn and martial prowess. Determined to use this force for good he and his companions sought to cleanse the Underworld. However, since the sliver is a conduit for the Shadowlords, his nature became slowly more and more extreme and fervent, his rage (which he still thought of as fervour for the Virtues) leading to a genocidal pogrom against all non-humans. His lover, Titania, slowly became infected with blood lust as well, until she was transformed into a Vampire ... As their pogrom continued, they began to view the unvirtuous (in their now twisted eyes) as beneath human as well, and eventually sought to purge the whole of New Sosaria of those deemed 'unworthy'. Thus began a brief but bloody reign of terror, with many of the old towns levelled.

Although Saldath was finally defeated by Lord Eggleton McEye, his two adventuring comrades escaped, and still lurk amongst New Sosaria, hatching foul plots of revenge!

===Lord Percy, Sir Markham, Sir Larant===
Members of the order of Paladins founded by Saldath, Thantos Keep is their base in the [[Mountain Pass]]. Whilst once a shining beacon of Valor in that part of New Sosaria, rumour has it that it has come under an evil influence - certainly none of the previous messengers or pilgrims seeking it out have returned. Adventurers have been asked to investigate this further, and see what has happen and if possible solve the mystery of what has happened to the keep.

===Patrick===
The mayor of Bakyre and an ex-adventurer and ex-rogue. Patrick is always willing to listen to the tales of other adventurers and will share a pint with almost anyone. However, don't be surprised if he tries to swindle you out of some gold in some manner of speaking.

===King Golwid===
A local Minotaur lord who's taken up residence in the old throne room of the once dwarven capitol Kazadoom. He's unseemingly amicable considering his hordes of minions will kill and eat any would be adventurer on sight. Old buds with Patrick, estranged from Byron and Estorrath.

===Shadowlords===
Astaroth, Falleni and

Although the Sliver of Hatred has been sealed away, the shadowlords are slowly trying to regain the victory they almost won. Although not really manifest yet (in that they can be defeated and temporarily banished by mortals) they are slowly regaining strength.

===Lord Percy===
Or more formally, Lord Percy Hestle-Weith, he was a member of the famous 'Adventuring Seven' who were explorers based at the University many years ago. Each member would set off each year with a team of graduates to find new wonders. Nothing is known of his current status, other than that he disappeared exploring the deserts of Tanelorne. The University is known to be seeking information about his whereabouts.

==Other Big Events==
===Disappearance of the Dwarves===
The dwarves last refuge, Kazadoom, the Dwarven Capital, was overrun by nasties and the dwarves became extinct. The only remnants of the dwarves left in New Sosaria are their nasty green cousins, the gnomes, who are often mistaken for gremlins.

There is a book, Chronicles of Nchuleft, referenced in one of the book quests. This is of course a dwarven book from Morrowind.

Ultima canon, in U3, also had elves, bobbits and fuzzies :X

===Goldwid and his merry band of Minotaurs move into the bottom of Kazadoom===
The disappearance of the dwarves happened long before Goldwid got into Kaza and started taking over. Infact, I'd be tempted now to convert the lower sections of Kaza into some sort of non-hostile town, rather than just never ending baddies with Golwid in the middle. Golwid is some sort of happy mino and he should be leading by example. Maybe there could be a battleground or frontlines where there are good-aligned mino's spawning, fighting off ettins and the like ... Maybe the Royal Banquet and Meeting Hall could be the place for this neverending spawner battle!

===Trammel being cast from its orbit===
Happened some time after Exodus was defeated, destroyed, whatever.

===The death of everyone in Whalebone===
Apparently, according to Jocasta, a small party consisting of Jaana, Sentri and the Avatar gated in. Everyone caught some sort of weird-earth plague and died after the party visited the local brothel. Jaana cursed the mayor so that in death he would live on as a demi liche. Even the cows live on as zombies.

If Lord Eggleton is meant to be the Avatar in the canon version of events, it must be said that Lord Eggleton certainly wasn't a part of this merry band. This Avatar and this party would be from some other twisted shard/reality.

Or the Story/history of snowy Island could be updated/rewritten.

===Nestor the Librarian===
Nestor is in charge of the recovery of lost books, but he is probably also cheif librarian. Among other things, he orders the 'recovery' of Estorrath's Journal (for reasons unknown), which contains nothing but recipes for 'dropped pie'. Other books he needs recovery of:

*Chronicles of Nchuleft
*Beyond good and Evil
*Necromancer
*Interview with the Vampire
*Estorrath's Journal

===Conrad===
Nestor's younger brother and head librarian of the Bakyre Library. While he runs a smaller library than his brother, he has the same fascination with books and is wiser than he lets on. He is looking to recover the following books:

*The Emerging Underworld

===Saldath, Zazaram & Titania===

In the spirit of the age, a mighty adventuring band set out to explore the newly created / accessible Underworld, to spread the Virtues across the whole of Sosaria. Amidst their number were the mage Zazaram, the warrior Saldath and his bride, the tinker Titania. They had been at the forefront of clearing the Dungeons of dangerous creatures and pacifying the land. Their leader Saldath had created an order of Paladins and created many Keeps dedicated to the Virtues (eg Thantos Keep). Unfortunately, they discovered a sliver of the Shard of Hatred, guarded by many Balrons, in a fortress deep under the Underworld itself. Saldath, sensing great power in it, kept it, and his lover Titania forged it into an amulet that gave him power over Hellspawn and martial prowess. Determined to use this force for good he and his companions sought to cleanse the Underworld. However, since the sliver is a conduit for the Shadowlords, his nature became slowly more and more extreme and fervent, his rage (which he still thought of as fervour for the Virtues) leading to a genocidal pogrom against all non-humans. His lover, Titania, slowly became infected with blood lust as well, until she was transformed into a Vampire ... As their pogrom continued, they began to view the unvirtuous (in their now twisted eyes) as beneath human as well, and eventually sought to purge the whole of New Sosaria of those deemed 'unworthy'. Thus began a brief but bloody reign of terror, with many of the old towns levelled.

Although Saldath was finally defeated by Lord Eggleton McEye, his two adventuring comrades escaped, and still lurk amongst New Sosaria, hatching foul plots of revenge!

===Lord Percy, Sir Markham, Sir Larant===
Members of the order of Paladins founded by Saldath, Thantos Keep is their base in the [[Mountain Pass]]. Whilst once a shining beacon of Valor in that part of New Sosaria, rumour has it that it has come under an evil influence - certainly none of the previous messengers or pilgrims seeking it out have returned. Adventurers have been asked to investigate this further, and see what has happen and if possible solve the mystery of what has happened to the keep.

===Patrick===
The mayor of Bakyre and an ex-adventurer and ex-rogue. Patrick is always willing to listen to the tales of other adventurers and will share a pint with almost anyone. However, don't be surprised if he tries to swindle you out of some gold in some manner of speaking.

===King Golwid===
A local Minotaur lord who's taken up residence in the old throne room of the once dwarven capitol Kazadoom. He's unseemingly amicable considering his hordes of minions will kill and eat any would be adventurer on sight. Old buds with Patrick, estranged from Byron and Estorrath.

===Shadowlords===
Astaroth, Falleni and

Although the Sliver of Hatred has been sealed away, the shadowlords are slowly trying to regain the victory they almost won. Although not really manifest yet (in that they can be defeated and temporarily banished by mortals) they are slowly regaining strength.

===Lord Percy===
Or more formally, Lord Percy Hestle-Weith, he was a member of the famous 'Adventuring Seven' who were explorers based at the University many years ago. Each member would set off each year with a team of graduates to find new wonders. Nothing is known of his current status, other than that he disappeared exploring the deserts of Tanelorne. The University is known to be seeking information about his whereabouts.

==Other Big Events==
===Disappearance of the Dwarves===
The dwarves last refuge, Kazadoom, the Dwarven Capital, was overrun by nasties and the dwarves became extinct. The only remnants of the dwarves left in New Sosaria are their nasty green cousins, the gnomes, who are often mistaken for gremlins.

There is a book, Chronicles of Nchuleft, referenced in one of the book quests. This is of course a dwarven book from Morrowind.

Ultima canon, in U3, also had elves, bobbits and fuzzies :X

===Goldwid and his merry band of Minotaurs move into the bottom of Kazadoom===
The disappearance of the dwarves happened long before Goldwid got into Kaza and started taking over. Infact, I'd be tempted now to convert the lower sections of Kaza into some sort of non-hostile town, rather than just never ending baddies with Golwid in the middle. Golwid is some sort of happy mino and he should be leading by example. Maybe there could be a battleground or frontlines where there are good-aligned mino's spawning, fighting off ettins and the like ... Maybe the Royal Banquet and Meeting Hall could be the place for this neverending spawner battle!

===Trammel being cast from its orbit===
Happened some time after Exodus was defeated, destroyed, whatever.

===The death of everyone in Whalebone===
Apparently, according to Jocasta, a small party consisting of Jaana, Sentri and the Avatar gated in. Everyone caught some sort of weird-earth plague and died after the party visited the local brothel. Jaana cursed the mayor so that in death he would live on as a demi liche. Even the cows live on as zombies.

If Lord Eggleton is meant to be the Avatar in the canon version of events, it must be said that Lord Eggleton certainly wasn't a part of this merry band. This Avatar and this party would be from some other twisted shard/reality.

Or the Story/history of snowy Island could be updated/rewritten.

Complete History of New Sosaria

2005-12-01T23:32:53Z

Sandfire: /* King Golwid */

This page should be called 'the Incomplete History of New Sosaria'.

Contains spoilers, useless info, plot, things past, present and future, unwritten quests and vague characters.

==How New Sosaria Came to Be==
Already explained in flowery english here: [[History of New Sosaria]].

In the canon (ie OSI) version of events, Mondain's gem was shattered and destroyed. Each shard of the gem created an alternate picture of Sosaria with its own history and future. New Sosaria that we know in EUO is one of these shards. Its timeline co-exists with the canon history - it could be considered an alternate history or even a parallel universe.

So with the destruction of the gem came the creation of New Sosaria's own timeline, landscape, populace and version of events. The more time passes, the more the emerging history of New Sosaria diverges from the story chronicled in Ultima I-V and beyond.

==Landscape==
[[Image:sosaria.gif|thumb|left|"Ye Olde Sossaria" - click to enlarge.]] First there was Sosaria, probably not unlike the Sosaria known in Ultima III. There was great upheaval etc, and the land was reformed into Sosaria - what we know as the western hemisphere of New Sosaria today. Tanelorne was yet to be discovered.

 

==Timeline==
The 3 digit number number is a year. 000 represents the creation of New Sosaria. (each RL day is 1 month EUO. There are 30 euo years in 1 RL year. Some of these timeline dates correllate directly with events in the creation of EUO)

* with the destruction of the shard of immortality in the Canon-universe, the EUO-verse is created with it's own timeline
* Lord Eggleton arrives through a moongate, befriends Shamino, becomes king (this actually happened before the above, if you can believe that)
* Lord Eggleton defeats Mondain, Minax and Exodus, possibly with help from a 'stranger'
* Kazadoom, the last refuge of the dwarves, is invaded by giants, orcs, and minotaurs, and the dwarves are made extinct
* With the destruction of Exodus and the end of the dark age, the lands are reformed, the moon 'Trammel' is cast out of its orbit, and Sosaria becomes Ye Olde Sosaria
* Kaswell Keep and the New Sosaria Library are completed. Nestor made head librarian.
* Tanelorne discovered (much earlier than in-game time but who's going to know) - the world consisting of Ye Olde Sosaria (renamed to Sosaria West) and Tanelorne collectively known as New Sosaria
* Lord Eggleton steps back through a portal to do the quest of the avatar then comes back (as chronicled in Ultima IV)
* Lord Eggleton decrees that there isn't enough 'virtue' and the shrines are created
* Patrick, Estorrath, Byron and Golwid part ways. Golwid assumes control of Kazadoom (or some of it). Patrick moves to Bakyre (with his fortune). Byron and Estorrath move to Tanelorne.
* The great council of wizards is formed, including Estorrath, Virgil, Henry and others.
* A shrine for the Codex is erected in the far Southeast of New Sosaria on an island, but Lord Eggleton does not yet raise the Codex.
* The [[Runic|Runic alphabet]] of Old Sosaria is dropped in favour of the English alphabet.
* The lich Xile gets imprisioned in his own underground fortress.
* Lord Eggleton is summoned away again to rescue Lord British (as chronicled in Ultima V) - he is yet to return.
* 004: Lord Broden's Keep is built.
* 009: Patrick elected Mayor of Bakyre.
* 030: Byron assumes control of Tanelorne, making himself a lord.
* 071: the 8 shrines to virtue are finally completed.

==Characters==
===Lord Eggleton===
Benevolant ruler or something; currently MIA in the canon-shard on a mission to rescue Lord British from the underworld. Rumour has it that he forgot the ''sandalwood box'', and won't be coming back to New Sosaria any time soon.

===Estorrath===
Is a retired member of the great council of wizards. Has a rivalry with Nestor of the library.

Is it merely a coincidence that his name bears an uncanny resembelance to that of the Shadowlord of Hatred, ''Astaroth'' ?

===Old Henry===
Estorrath's older brother, likes fishing and isn't as silly as he seems. Another great wizard that was, he knows the cure for lycanthropy.

===Lord Byron===
Lord of Tanelorne. Wife has died recently and until he gets his bronze statue of her, he remains sad. Has 3 advisors working for him: Shamino the rogue, Virgil the Mage and Greyson the fighter. Used to run with Patrick, Estorrath and Golwid the minotaur king under Kaza.

===Virgil===
Byron's advisor, mage, once on the council of wizards.

===Greyson===
Byron's advisor, fighter.

===Shamino===
Byron's advisor, rogue. This is the same Shamino that Lord Eggleton first met when he stepped through the moongate and into Sosaria for the first time.

===Lord Broden===
Brother of Lord Byron (hence the same avatar). A player, missing in action. His legacy: an empty keep south of Mirkwood.

Is a retired member of the great council of wizards. Has a rivalry with Nestor of the library.

Is it merely a coincidence that his name bears an uncanny resembelance to that of the Shadowlord of Hatred, ''Astaroth'' ?

===Old Henry===
Estorrath's older brother, likes fishing and isn't as silly as he seems. Another great wizard that was, he knows the cure for lycanthropy.

===Lord Byron===
Lord of Tanelorne. Wife has died recently and until he gets his bronze statue of her, he remains sad. Has 3 advisors working for him: Shamino the rogue, Virgil the Mage and Greyson the fighter. Used to run with Patrick, Estorrath and Golwid the minotaur king under Kaza.

===Virgil===
Byron's advisor, mage, once on the council of wizards.

===Greyson===
Byron's advisor, fighter.

===Shamino===
Byron's advisor, rogue. This is the same Shamino that Lord Eggleton first met when he stepped through the moongate and into Sosaria for the first time.

===Lord Broden===
Brother of Lord Byron (hence the same avatar). A player, missing in action. His legacy: an empty keep south of Mirkwood.

This castle needs to be taken over: maybe appropriated by some new overlord upstart of Sosaria west, or by hostiles (to become a hunting ground), or maybe by some friendly political faction.

===Nestor the Librarian===
Nestor is in charge of the recovery of lost books, but he is probably also cheif librarian. Among other things, he orders the 'recovery' of Estorrath's Journal (for reasons unknown), which contains nothing but recipes for 'dropped pie'. Other books he needs recovery of:

*Chronicles of Nchuleft
*Beyond good and Evil
*Necromancer
*Interview with the Vampire
*Estorrath's Journal

===Conrad===
Nestor's younger brother and head librarian of the Bakyre Library. While he runs a smaller library than his brother, he has the same fascination with books and is wiser than he lets on. He is looking to recover the following books:

*The Emerging Underworld

===Saldath, Zazaram & Titania===

In the spirit of the age, a mighty adventuring band set out to explore the newly created / accessible Underworld, to spread the Virtues across the whole of Sosaria. Admidst their number were the mage Zazaram, the warrior Saldath and his bride, the tinker Titianna. They had been at the forefront of clearing the Dungeons of dangerous creatures and pacifying the land. Their leader Saldath had created an order of Paladins and created many Keeps dedicated to the Virtues (eg Thantos Keep). Unfortunately, they discovered a sliver of the Shard of Hatred, guarded by many Balrons, in a fortress deep under the Underworld itself. Saldath, sensing great power in it, kept it, and his lover Titania forged it into an amulet that gave him power over Hellspawn and martial prowess. Determined to use this force for good he and his companions sought to cleanse the Underworld. However, since the sliver is a conduit for the Shadowlords, his nature became slowly more and more extreme and fervent, his rage (which he still thought of as fervour for the Virtues) leading to a genocidal pogrom against all non-humans. His lover, Titianna, slowly became infected with blood lust as well, until she was transformed into a Vampire ... As their pogrom continued, they began to view the unvirtuous (in their now twisted eyes) as beneath human as well, and eventually sought to purge the whole of New Sosaria of those deemed 'unworthy'. Thus began a brief but bloody reign of terror, with many of the old towns levelled.

Although Saldath was finally defeated by Lord Eggleton McEye, his two adventuring comrades escaped, and still lurk amongst New Sosaria, hatching foul plots of revenge!

===Lord Percy, Sir Markham, Sir Larant===
Members of the order of Paladins founded by Saldath, Thantos Keep is their base in the [[Mountain Pass]]. Whilst once a shining beacon of Valor in that part of New Sosaria, rumour has it that it has come under an evil influence - certainly none of the previous messengers or pilgrims seeking it out have returned. Adventurers have been asked to investigate this further, and see what has happen and if possible solve the mystery of what has happened to the keep.

===Patrick===
The mayor of Bakyre and an ex-adventurer and ex-rogue. Patrick is always willing to listen to the tales of other adventurers and will share a pint with almost anyone. However, don't be surprised if he tries to swindle you out of some gold in some manner of speaking.

===King Golwid===
A local Minotaur lord who's taken up residence in the old throne room of the once dwarven capital Kazadoom. He's unseemingly amicable considering his hordes of minions will kill and eat any would be adventurer on sight. Old buds with Patrick, estranged from Byron and Estorrath.

===Shadowlords===
Astaroth, Falleni and

Although the Sliver of Hatred has been sealed away, the shadowlords are slowly trying to regain the victory they almost won. Although not really manifest yet (in that they can be defeated and temporarily banished by mortals) they are slowly regaining strength.

===Lord Percy===
Or more formally, Lord Percy Hestle-Weith, he was a member of the famous 'Adventuring Seven' who were explorers based at the University many years ago. Each member would set off each year with a team of graduates to find new wonders. Nothing is known of his current status, other than that he disappeared exploring the deserts of Tanelorne. The University is known to be seeking information about his whereabouts.

==Other Big Events==
===Disappearance of the Dwarves===
The dwarves last refuge, Kazadoom, the Dwarven Capital, was overrun by nasties and the dwarves became extinct. The only remnants of the dwarves left in New Sosaria are their nasty green cousins, the gnomes, who are often mistaken for gremlins.

There is a book, Chronicles of Nchuleft, referenced in one of the book quests. This is of course a dwarven book from Morrowind.

Ultima canon, in U3, also had elves, bobbits and fuzzies :X

===Goldwid and his merry band of Minotaurs move into the bottom of Kazadoom===
The disappearance of the dwarves happened long before Goldwid got into Kaza and started taking over. Infact, I'd be tempted now to convert the lower sections of Kaza into some sort of non-hostile town, rather than just never ending baddies with Golwid in the middle. Golwid is some sort of happy mino and he should be leading by example. Maybe there could be a battleground or frontlines where there are good-aligned mino's spawning, fighting off ettins and the like ... Maybe the Royal Banquet and Meeting Hall could be the place for this neverending spawner battle!

===Trammel being cast from its orbit===
Happened some time after Exodus was defeated, destroyed, whatever.

===The death of everyone in Whalebone===
Apparently, according to Jocasta, a small party consisting of Jaana, Sentri and the Avatar gated in. Everyone caught some sort of weird-earth plague and died after the party visited the local brothel. Jaana cursed the mayor so that in death he would live on as a demi liche. Even the cows live on as zombies.

If Lord Eggleton is meant to be the Avatar in the canon version of events, it must be said that Lord Eggleton certainly wasn't a part of this merry band. This Avatar and this party would be from some other twisted shard/reality.

Or the Story/history of snowy Island could be updated/rewritten.

Complete History of New Sosaria

2005-12-01T23:15:40Z

Sandfire: /* Old Henry */

This page should be called 'the Incomplete History of New Sosaria'.

Contains spoilers, useless info, plot, things past, present and future, unwritten quests and vague characters.

==How New Sosaria Came to Be==
Already explained in flowery english here: [[History of New Sosaria]].

In the canon (ie OSI) version of events, Mondain's gem was shattered and destroyed. Each shard of the gem created an alternate picture of Sosaria with its own history and future. New Sosaria that we know in EUO is one of these shards. Its timeline co-exists with the canon history - it could be considered an alternate history or even a parallel universe.

So with the destruction of the gem came the creation of New Sosaria's own timeline, landscape, populace and version of events. The more time passes, the more the emerging history of New Sosaria diverges from the story chronicled in Ultima I-V and beyond.

==Landscape==
[[Image:sosaria.gif|thumb|left|"Ye Olde Sossaria" - click to enlarge.]] First there was Sosaria, probably not unlike the Sosaria known in Ultima III. There was great upheaval etc, and the land was reformed into Sosaria - what we know as the western hemisphere of New Sosaria today. Tanelorne was yet to be discovered.

 

==Timeline==
The 3 digit number number is a year. 000 represents the creation of New Sosaria. (each RL day is 1 month EUO. There are 30 euo years in 1 RL year. Some of these timeline dates correllate directly with events in the creation of EUO)

* with the destruction of the shard of immortality in the Canon-universe, the EUO-verse is created with it's own timeline
* Lord Eggleton arrives through a moongate, befriends Shamino, becomes king (this actually happened before the above, if you can believe that)
* Lord Eggleton defeats Mondain, Minax and Exodus, possibly with help from a 'stranger'
* Kazadoom, the last refuge of the dwarves, is invaded by giants, orcs, and minotaurs, and the dwarves are made extinct
* With the destruction of Exodus and the end of the dark age, the lands are reformed, the moon 'Trammel' is cast out of its orbit, and Sosaria becomes Ye Olde Sosaria
* Kaswell Keep and the New Sosaria Library are completed. Nestor made head librarian.
* Tanelorne discovered (much earlier than in-game time but who's going to know) - the world consisting of Ye Olde Sosaria (renamed to Sosaria West) and Tanelorne collectively known as New Sosaria
* Lord Eggleton steps back through a portal to do the quest of the avatar then comes back (as chronicled in Ultima IV)
* Lord Eggleton decrees that there isn't enough 'virtue' and the shrines are created
* Patrick, Estorrath, Byron and Golwid part ways. Golwid assumes control of Kazadoom (or some of it). Patrick moves to Bakyre (with his fortune). Byron and Estorrath move to Tanelorne.
* The great council of wizards is formed, including Estorrath, Virgil, Henry and others.
* A shrine for the Codex is erected in the far Southeast of New Sosaria on an island, but Lord Eggleton does not yet raise the Codex.
* The [[Runic|Runic alphabet]] of Old Sosaria is dropped in favour of the English alphabet.
* The lich Xile gets imprisioned in his own underground fortress.
* Lord Eggleton is summoned away again to rescue Lord British (as chronicled in Ultima V) - he is yet to return.
* 004: Lord Broden's Keep is built.
* 009: Patrick elected Mayor of Bakyre.
* 030: Byron assumes control of Tanelorne, making himself a lord.
* 071: the 8 shrines to virtue are finally completed.

Other Item Information

2005-12-01T21:23:08Z

Sandfire: /* Durability and Item Wear */

This is an overview of the different things that affect your items, armour and weapons.

==Curses==

Cursedness is an attribute that most items have, being either uncursed (normal) or cursed. Cursed items generally behave in a negative way or opposite way to their uncursed counterparts. For some items it makes no difference either way. Cursed items are generally referred to as '''cursed item X''', while uncursed items are generally referred to simply as ''' item X '''.

For example:
A weapon is does more damage than your bare hands. A cursed weapon, will do almost no damage, making you unable to fight. Additionally, it will be welded to your hand (impossible to remove)!
On the other hand, a scroll of identification and a cursed scroll of identification behave exactly the same way (at the time of writing, at least).

Thus it is beneficial to find out if items are cursed before using them.
On the regular server, curses are revealed when you use a '''Scroll of Identification'''.
On the [[Alpha]] (test) server and the [[Introduction_to_PD|Permanent Death]] server, curses are revealed when you drop an item next to the brazier (fire) in the shrines.

Cursed weapons or armour that has welded itself to you may be removed using a scroll of unweld.
Simply read the scroll using '''R''' (shift-r) and all welded items will be removed from your body, and waiting in your inventory. The curses of the items will remain.

Cursed items may be uncursed by using a scroll of uncurse on them. Simply drop the item on the ground, and read the Scroll of Uncurse with '''R''' (shift-r-dir), then give the direction in which to use the scroll with the arrow key. On the Permanent Death and Alpha servers, there exist scrolls of uncurse-all, which will uncurse any cursed itemss in your inventory when read.

==Item Identification==

Buy a magnifying glass and use it on an unidentified item to attempt to ID it. Be sure to do your identification in a safe place where your items will not be stolen. The skill required to ID the item with a magnifying glass is proportional to the quality of the item. As with most other skills, you will need 10 item lore to begin identifying basic items. Using a magnifying glass to ID an item will not detect a curse.

Scrolls of identification may be used alternatively to a magnifying glass. These require no skill to use, but cost gold at the scroll merchant. On the Regular server these also reveal curses on items. On the Alpha and Permanent Death servers, there exist identify-all scrolls which will ID all items currently in your character's inventory. ID-all scrolls do not detect curses.

==Durability and Item Wear==

This is being tested on the Alpha and Permanent Death servers. Currently only weapons wear out. The weapon's damage is maximal at 0% wear, and minimal at 100% wear. Weapons may be repaired using a smith's hammer for metal weapons, pocket knife for wooden weapons, and a sewing kit for leather weapons. The correct tint of tool is needed to repair weapons. i.e. You'll need a copper smith's hammer to repair a copper shortsword. The different materials have different rates of wear, listed on the [[Item Materials]] page.

Sandfire: /* Special Moves */

Combat is an essential part of EUO. Before entering combat, you will probably want to '''r'''eady your fighting equipment, stock up on some healing items such as yellow potions, healing spells or bandages, maybe gather some party-mates, and gather your courage. It will also be worth while knowing how to actually attack, so read on.

==Combat Controls==
More information on [[Keyboard Controls]] here.

===Melee Combat Controls===
An attack is performed by holding CTRL, then pressing the arrow key for the direction you wish to attack in.

===Special Moves' Controls===
To perform a special move (see below for special move details) use CTRL-ALT-direction.

===Ranged Combat Controls===
Attacking with a bow, crossbow or sling consitutes ranged combat. Ranged combat uses auto-targeting.

To attack:
*press CTRL-UP

To change targets, use either:
*CTRL-LEFT & CTRL-RIGHT
*SHIFT-a & SHIFT-s
*CTRL-a & CTRL-s

===Combat Spellcasting Controls===
You can cast the spell bound to F1 by pressing shift, then the arrow key. Eg, bind An Mani to F1, then use shift-dir to cast An Mani on adjacent enemy targets.

You can cast the spell bound to F2 by using CTRL-SHIFT-arrow.

A good mage technique might be to bind Vas An Mani to F1 and Ort Grav to F2, then cast VAM quickly with SHIFT-direction and OG with CTRL-SHIFT-direction.

Even a fighter may benefit from these shortcuts. For example, if s/he knows the Mani spell, bind it to F1 and use shift-dir to heal self at any time. Since Mani only ever heals the caster, it doesn't matter in which direction it is cast when used with shift-dir.

==Combat Maths Basics==
Every player & creature has an attack strength (also known as AS), and a defense. The higher the difference between the attacker's AS and the defender's defense, the more damage will be done.

Your attack strength is derived from your skill in the weapon you have readied. You defense is derived from what armour you are wearing.

==Combat and Skills==
See [[Class Skills]].

== Special Moves==

For weapon users who's skill in their weapon is 90% or greater, a new attack is available for use. Each of these combat skills has it's own 'special move'.

The move is executed with CTRL-ALT-Direction. Each move uses a full bar of 'rage'. Rage is indicated by a yellow bar that grows over your character's head when attacking or being hit. The bar is white when it is full.

The special moves, for each skill, are:

'''Longswords : FLURRY''' 
Performs 3-5 swings (thus attacks) in one, hitting targets adjacent to you randomly.

'''Maces : THUNDERCLAP''' 
The target and the adjacent squares all suffer a shockwave. This is a 50% chance of being stunned (held for mobs and sleep for players) and 25% chance of confusion (4 seconds for player and indefinite for mobs).

'''Axes : CLEAVE''' 
The target's Attack Strength, Defense and Magic Resistance become temporarily reduced, thus making the target substantially weaker. 
Cleave move also makes the target 'Wounded' whereby they bleed 5% of their health for 5 seconds (25% total) and during this time cannot heal. Bleeding/wounding will not kill mobs.

'''Polearms : BLOODBOLT''' 
The target suffers a regular hit, and a bolt of chain lighting strikes the target and other nearby enemies. This works on magic-immune monsters!

'''Unarmed : QUIVERING PALM''' 
Target goes into 'complete shock'. The next 3 attacks landed on him will have a 50% chance of being a critical. 
(This only works when you're wearing all 'unarmoured' gear and using an 'unarmed' weapon, or your bare hands.)

'''Foils : DISARM''' 
Player versus player: target is not allowed to re-equip for 5 seconds. 
Player versus monster: melee monster have their Attack Strength halved and magic using monsters are 50% less likely to cast for 5 seconds.

'''Shortswords : SLICE AND DICE''' 
Performs 3 successive attacks on the target.

'''Ranged : POINT-BLANK HEAD-SHOT''' 
Extra damage, and also makes the target 'Wounded' whereby they bleed 5% of their health for 5 seconds (25% total) and during this time cannot heal. Bleeding/wounding will not kill mobs.

==Other Notes==

===Dual Wield===
Dual wield is the art of using two shortsword type weapons at the same time, one in each hand. Only the shortsword type of weapons can be dual wielded.

Dual wielding results in slightly slower attacks, but you get the benefit of attacking twice as often, so generally more damage is being done anyway.

===Parry and Riposte===
Players with high skill in foils will be at first able to parry attacks (ie, deflect them) and later to perform a riposte (where the damage is inflicted back on the attacker).

===Dodge===
Characters with high dexterity have a small chance to dodge physical attacks entirely; the higher the dexterity, the higher the chance to dodge. Magic cannot be dodged.

===Armour Weights===
See the page on [[Items]] for more information on armour.

Alchemy

2005-11-07T15:13:09Z

Sandfire: /* Monster Parts */

Alchemy is the science of making potions, and the conversion and processing of base materials for use with not only making potions, but for other crafts as well.

==Overview==
Most alchemistry is performed with an ''alembic'' and an ''alchemists' bench''. There are 3 other specialst tools however: the ''mortar and pestle'' the ''sieve'' and the ''blackrock saw'': all of which are used to process monster parts (explained below).

==Potion Recipes ==
[[image:alchemy.gif|left]] 
An alembic is a glass apparatus used for the distilling and purification of various liquids or essences and is available from a [[Shoppes#Provisioner|provisioner]]. An Alchemist's bench can usually be found in an [[Shoppes#Apothecary|apothecary]], and is free for use by any alchemist.

In addition to the Alembic, you will need all of the required ingredients as well as an empty potion flask. Flasks can be made by a [[Tinkering|tinker]] or they can be saved and re-used after consuming another potion.

Use ('''u''') an Alembic at an Alchemist's bench to bring up a list of potions that you can make, assuming you have the minimum skill required. Only the recipes for the 3 basic potions have been completed so as not to make things too easy. Have fun figuring the missing ingredients out.

Potionmaking, like most crafts, can be repeated with '''F11'''

{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="background:#f0f0f0"
| '''potion''' || '''effect''' || '''ingredients''' || '''skill'''
|-
|'''yellow''' || heal || ginseng + spider's silk + flask || 20
|-
|'''blue''' || mana || ginseng + blood moss + flask || 40
|-
|'''red''' || cure poison || garlic + ginseng + flask || 30
|-
|'''black''' || invisibility || ??? + shadow dust + flask || ?
|-
|'''orange''' || induce Sleep || ??? + preserved eye + flask || ?
|-
|'''lime''' || nightvision || ??? + preserved ooze + flask || ?
|-
|'''white''' || x-ray vision || ??? + preserved brain + flask || ?
|-
|'''green''' || induce poison || ??? + snake's Venom + flask || ?
|-
|'''pink''' || cure disease || ??? + spores + flask || ?
|-
|'''cyan''' || blink || ??? + sparkling mote x5 + flask || ?
|-
|'''brown''' || speed || ??? + bug dust + flask || ?
|-
|'''purple''' || combat boost || ??? + essence of rage + Flask || ?
|}

===Improved Potions===
You can also use your Alembic to distill concentrated versions of some potions. Note that the last two require a reinforced flask which can be made by a [[Tinkering|tinker]] or saved and re-used as before.
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="background:#f0f0f0"
| '''potion''' || '''ingredients''' || '''skill'''
|-
| '''improved yellow''' || yellow potion x2 || 30
|-
| '''refined yellow''' || yellow potion x3 || 50
|-
| '''greater yellow''' || yellow potion x4 || 70
|-
| '''mega yellow''' || yellow potion x5 + reinforced Flask || ?
|-
| '''mega blue''' || blue potion x5 + reinforced Flask || ?
|}

== Non-Potion Recipes ==
These recipes are used to make some of the more exotic materials that are used by other [[Crafting_and_Gathering|crafting]] skills. More on the properties of these exotic [[Item_Materials|item materials]] here.

As above, use ('''u''') an Alembic at an Alchemist's bench to distill the various essences which are then used to treat the particular material, all in one neat process.
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="background:#f0f0f0"
| '''material''' || '''ingredients''' || '''skill'''
|-
| '''vampyric ore:''' || regular ore, vampire dust x5, mandrake root x3 || 50
|-
| '''venomous ore:''' || regular ore, nightshade x4, snake's venom || 40
|-
| '''vampyric log:''' || log, vampire dust x5, mandrake root x3 || 50
|-
| '''venomous log:''' || log, nightshade x4, snake's venom || 40
|-
| '''blackrock ore (treated):''' || blackrock, dragon scales x6, mandrake root x3, nightshade x3 || 65
|-
| '''ebony log:''' || log, blackrock ore (treated blackrock) || 65
|-
| '''golden thread:''' || spider's silk x5, gold nugget || 50
|-
| '''silver thread''' || spider's silk x5, silver ore || ?
|-
| '''dark thread''' || spider's silk x5, blackrock ore (treated blackrock) || ?
|}

==Ingredients==
===Reagents===
[[image:reagents.gif|left]] 
Reagents can either be purchased from an [[Shoppes#Apothecary|apothecary]], found as loot or harvested from various places.
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="background:#f0f0f0"
| '''reagent''' || '''source'''
|-
| '''black pearl''' || apothecary (rare), occasionally when fishing
|-
| '''blood moss''' || apothecary (rare)
|-
| '''garlic''' || apothecary (common)
|-
| '''ginseng''' || apothecary (common)
|-
| '''mandrake root''' || search a swamp at any midnight
|-
| '''nightshade''' || search the forests at midnight on the new moon
|-
| '''spider's silk''' || apothecary (common), found on giant spider
|-
| '''sulphurous ash''' || apothecary (very rare), found on fire lizard
|}

=== Monster Parts ===
Monster parts are needed for any advanced Alchemy. They are occasionally found among the remains of certain monsters. The raw monster parts will generally need processing first before they can be used.

You will also need vials or jars to hold the processed ingredients. These, along with the potion flasks, can be made by a skilled [[Tinkering|tinker]].

Use ('''u''') an Alembic at an Alchemist's bench to convert the following items.
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="background:#f0f0f0"
| '''parts''' || '''ingredients'''
|-
| '''snake's venom''' || fang + vial
|-
| '''preserved brain''' || brain + jar
|-
| '''preserved eye''' || eye + jar
|-
| '''preserved ooze''' || ooze + jar
|-
| '''essence of rage''' || heart + vial
|}

The following monster parts require the specialist tools Mortar and Pestle, Sieve and Blackrock Saw which can all be created by an experienced [[Tinkering|Tinker]].

Use ('''u''') the listed tool on the ingredient:
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="background:#f0f0f0"
| '''parts''' || '''tool''' || '''ingredient'''
|-
| '''shadow dust''' || mortar and pestle || horn
|-
| '''bug dust''' || mortar and pestle || carapace
|-
| '''spores''' || sieve || diseased bandage
|-
| '''dragon scales x3''' || blackrock saw || dragon hide
|}

===What monsters drop what parts===
As mentioned above, occasionally a monster will drop a monster part. Specific ingredients come from particular monsters, namely:
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="background:#f0f0f0"
| '''parts''' || '''source'''
|-
| '''dragon hide''' || red dragon
|-
| '''fang''' || snake
|-
| '''horn''' || shadow orc
|-
| '''brain''' || gazer
|-
| '''eye''' || basilisk
|-
| '''ooze''' || slime
|-
| '''carapace''' || insect swarm
|-
| '''diseased bandage''' || mummy
|-
| '''heart''' || minotaur chief
|}
