start rebuilding my solo character, in case I use it

I'm treating this as a campaign summary and primer for a 13th Age game
I'm hoping to start in the coming weeks. this isn't complete yet, but
it's far enough along that I want to commit and push it in order to
refer to it in other contexts while I finish up the rest of it

+# Aldfric "Silver" Gauveld (Human Rogue 1)
+
+Silver is a former assassin, reformed after facing the ramifications of his conduct, a rehabilitation incidentally
+associated with a prolonged incarceration. His moral code may be a bit unique and personal, but he has given up the
+murder-for-hire business and is trying to do something "better" after seeing the suffering of many, though doing so
+sometimes initially conflicts with his natural cynicism. He doesn't apply his services for hire anymore, at least.
+
+## Build
+
+### Ability Scores
+
+|                 | Strength | Dexterity | Constitution | Wisdom  | Intelligence | Charisma |
+|-----------------|----------|-----------|--------------|---------|--------------|----------|
+| **Score (Mod)** | 13 (+1)  | 19 (+4)   | 12 (+1)      | 14 (+2) | 10 (+0)      | 17 (+3)  |

+
+### One Unique Thing
+
+Silver occasionally sees images of a person's past or future self when looking at them.
+
+### Icon Relationships
+
+* **Positive w/Prince of Shadows** (1): Silver is one of "the Prince's people", believing even after reformation that
+  he is influencing the world for the better as the Prince would see fit.
+* **Conflicted w/Emperor** (1): technically, it's "Duke Aldfric Gauveld" via hereditary peerage. Silver tries not to
+  deploy this fact unless he has to, and maybe it's better he doesn't, as him and the Emperor don't exactly see
+  eye-to-eye.
+* **Negative w/Lich King** (1): Silver has seen enough death, he doesn't need undead reminders, especially of his own
+  deeds.
+
+### Backgrounds
+
+* **Reformed thief and assassin** (4): Silver spent plenty of time in the dark parts of the criminal underground,
+  before getting caught.
+* **Well-traveled information seeker** (4): Silver's work has taken him to many civilized (and not-so-civilized)
+  areas, and he always tries to remember where to get information.
+
+### Combat Stats
+
+* **HP:** 21
+* **AC:** 15, **PD:** 14, **MD:** 13
+* **Recoveries** (8): 1d8+1

-## Adventuring!
+## Character Creation
 
-[Adventuring!](adventuring/) is a quasi-campaign setting world thing built from nothing but a table of creative people
+For general aids in creating characters follow the Creating Characters chapter starting on page 23 of the *Heroes'
-and the 13th Age system. It does *not* use the Dragon Empire, or any other setting material, and not even the icons from
+Handbook* and see this section for further notes. Campaigns may have more specific instructions (inclusive or exclusive
-13th Age. It does instead borrow from a variety of tropes, cultural references, etc. It is, as such, the primary force
+of content), but generally speaking, my games allow all published classes, kin, class options, items, and so on
-of creation behind [Yacsra](yacsra/).
+presented in or mentioned in the core books of *13th Age Second Edition* and *13 True Ways*, including stuff in Appendix
+A. A good list to use is:
 
-## Yacsra
+* *13th Age Second Edition: Heroes' Handbook*
+* *13 True Ways*
+* *13th Age Glorantha*
+* *Shards of the Broken Sky*
+* *13th Age Bestiary*
+* *Book of Ages*
+* *Shades of Fey*
 
-The world of [Yacsra](yacsra/), bss's *yet another campaign setting, roughly assembled*, is a
+Additional content (from other supplements, homebrew stuff on the web, your own homebrew stuff, etc.) should be
-general purpose campaign setting, with a design inspired by the Dragon Empire, 13th Age's deliberately open-ended
+presented to me, and it'll likely be approved.
-meta-setting. It takes cues (e.g. 13 icons, points of light, etc.) but is made up of unique icons, places, etc.
-The material that I've written or that my tables have come up with off the cuff build upon the lore of Yacsra.
 
-## House Rules
+This usually doesn't matter for character creation, but I'll pull from all of Pelgrane Press's publications for
+monsters, items, artifacts, and so on. All of this "primary content" is pretty much assumed to be good.
+
+### Classes, Kin, and Ability Scores
+
+Nothing of note here, really; official classes are automatically allowed, other homebrew might be; classes are the most
+complicated, so they will be the most work to review. But, in the end, just ask --- and also do so if you want general
+advice, or if the book says you should talk to your GM first. Ditto for kin, but it's easier to homebrew (and review) a
+kin idea than a class idea.
+
+For ability scores, the standard arrays (HH: 24) are great, but I'm good with the options in Appendix A (HH: 316) as
+well; "roll four" seems especially fun if what you want is a mix of competency and chaos.
+
+### One Unique Things
+
+There's a lot of good advice in the Unique Heroes (HH: 201) chapter, follow it to come up with a *unique* that you can
+really work with throughout the game. I do not mind if you choose to play for a bit before landing on a *unique*. I'd
+rather have something you're jazzed about than something you came up with just to have the box filled in before the
+first session.
+
+### Icons
+
+The campaign page you are coming from will describe the icons and if they differ from those in the core book at all.
+
+### Everything Else
+
+Follow the book and ask questions, basically!
+
+## House Rules and Content
 
 I don't consider myself much of a game designer, but nonetheless I have added
 some house rules and items and so on to the game. I will try to catalog them here, just in the
 event I reuse them or they are useful to someone else.

+# Adventuring! in the Cypher System
+
+Adventuring! was once a Cypher System-based game. Here are some artifacts from that point in time.
+
+## Characters
+
+* [Elyan Gareth](elyan-gareth) is a brash exiled gunslinger [warrior] who crafts unique objects.
+* [Ghorin](ghorin) is a clever mystical sorcerer [adept] who separates mind from body.
+* [Quarter Roy](quarter-roy) is a strong tough warrior who rages.
+
+### Barrel
+
+* [Sydney](sydney) is an exiled doomed drifter [explorer, with combat flavor] who never says die.
+
+Players are welcome to create a character for the game and rotate in and out as time allows. See [Character
+Creation](character-creation) for information on making Cypher System characters suitable for the campaign.
+
+## Resources, Notes, etc.
+
+### Homebrew and House Rules
+
+All of [my accepted house rules](/cypher/#homebrew-and-house-rules) are in use for this game, and that page also has
+Faerûnian homebrew and additional options for the Cypher System.
+
+### Cypher Tables
+
+Treat all cypher types as manifest by default. Roll a d20 and use that result for which table to roll on (they're all
+built as percentile tables, so you can roll a d20 and a d100 for both together).
+
+| Roll   | Origin/Type              |
+|--------|--------------------------|
+| 1--4   | *Core*/Manifest (p.382)  |
+| 5--8   | *Core*/Subtle (p.383)    |
+| 9--11  | *Godforsaken*            |
+| 12--20 | *Core*/Fantastic (p.384) |
+
+Most instances work in the game and could be represented as at least one kind of physical item, or roll on the cypher
+form table in *Godforsaken* (which would be a combined roll of d20; d100; d100).

+          specialized in that task.
+        * **Jumpy** +2 to your Speed Pool.
+        * **Doom:** Every other time the GM uses GM intrusion on your character, you cannot refuse it and do not get an
+          XP for it (you still get an XP to award to another player). This is because you are doomed. The universe is a
+          cold, uncaring place, and your efforts are futile at best.

+## Icons in the Forgotten Realms
+
+In 1372 DR, the deities of Faerûn forever changed when Cyric's surprise opus, what came to be known as the Godsfall,
+cast the pantheon again into mortality, quickly rewriting the power dynamics of the deities forced to maintain their
+divinity while defending themselves in the mortal realm. Many portfolios and divine essences consolidated into the
+remaining major deities, still magically and supernaturally tied to Faerûn, but no longer omnipotent.
+
+> Each block on the remaining major deities, each tied to an icon in 13th Age terms, includes their general
+> heroic/ambiguous/villainous alignment, their (often expanded or reassembled) portfolio, and additional deities and
+> faiths they subsumed and now serve directly or as avatars.
+
+### Mystra (Archmage)
+
+Heroic icon ✦ magic, spells, the Weave, wizards, mages, spellcasters ✦ Azuth, Oghma
+
+Mystra's maintenance of the Weave and enabling of spellcasters across Faerûn has continued unabated, now bolstered by
+the absorption of Azuth. The threats to her divinity, and the Weave, are more present than ever. Meanwhile, Oghma's
+dominion over the realm of ideas continues, in service of Mystra.
+
+### Bane (Crusader)
+
+Villainous icon ✦ strife, tyranny, fear, hatred, war, battle ✦ Tempus
+
+In the shift in power, Bane finds himself still at odds with his old rivals --- including Mystra, Torm, and Cyric ---
+and now also with Lolth, as she now represents the forces of chaos and the Abyss; Bane's strongholds and doctrines
+throughout Faerûn are threatened from both sides. Still, Bane (and now his second in command, Tempus) are always
+prepared for war.
+
+### Lolth (Diabolist)
+
+Villainous icon ✦ chaos, darkness, drow, demons, assassins, spiders, bloodlust ✦ demon lords, the drow pantheon, Malar
+
+The Spider Queen quickly moved to take control of the Abyss as she consolidated power in the Godsfall, and she is now
+revered also as the Queen of Chaos. She has bound the demons of the Realms in servitude, while still also serving as the
+head of the drow pantheon. However, the ascent of Eilistraee as the head of the Court of Stars threatens her hold over
+the drow houses.
+
+### Moradin (Dwarf King)
+
+Ambiguous icon ✦ dwarves, creation, smithing, greed, magic item creation, wealth ✦ the dwarven pantheon, Gond
+
+Moradin consumed the majority of the dwarven pantheon without event, but was slightly blackened by some of the greedy and
+similar elements present in dwarven vices. He remains a reliable ally to the good-aligned deities of Faerûn, but in his
+own way --- and dwarves always come first. Gond, and by extension many gnomes, now revere Moradin as well.
+
+### Eilistraee (Elf Queen)
+
+Heroic icon ✦ moon, stars, elves, music, beauty, moonlight ✦ Selûne, Corellon Larethian
+
+The Court of Stars has formed under the merged essence of Eilistraee, though the significant power of Selûne and
+Corellon Larethian hold much sway in their combined persona, and in worship, many denizens of Faerûn still revere their
+names before Eilistraee's. Still, they hope Eilistraee's significance as a rival to Lolth will eventually sway the drow,
+who generally remain out of favor of the Court as long as they cling to evil.
+
+### Tyr (Emperor)
+
+Ambiguous icon ✦ justice, trade, money, civilization, fortune ✦ Waukeen, Tymora
+
+When the Godsfall struck, Tyr immediately sprung to the defense of order across Faerûn, assisted by Waukeen and other
+such deities, whose portfolios were eventually subsumed into his. As the many threats across the continent increased
+their prominence, the church of Tyr led the push to secure a (relatively) unified front of peace and security. Everyone
+sees the cracks forming across the many lands and kingdoms of Faerûn, as ideas of "order" and "good" vary from region to
+region.
+
+### Helm (Great Gold Wyrm)
+
+Heroic icon ✦ guardians, protection, duty, loyalty ✦ Torm
+
+Despite the shared enemy of the forces of the Abyss, Helm and Torm maintain their opposition to Bane, standing as a
+sentry against either form of corruption and ruin from the dual threats of Bane and Lolth. Helm continues as the
+ultimate guardian of the realm, the two closely-aligned clergies having now merged entirely.
+
+### Mielikki (High Druid)
+
+Ambiguous icon ✦ nature, forests, rangers, dryads, druids, barbarian tribes, travel, exploration ✦ Silvanus, Shaundakul,
+Uthgar
+
+Silvanus, wisely choosing a more active participant in the Realms to lead the forces of nature, transferred his
+portfolio to the prominent Mielikki. Mielikki, good-hearted by default, aligns herself against destructive forces such
+as Bane and Lolth, but also recognizes the tensions represented by the expanding reach of civilization on natural lands.
+Her absorption of Uthgar's power and portfolia nevertheless gives her a furious edge, should it need to be applied.
+
+### Velsharoon (Lich King)
+
+Villainous icon ✦ necromancy, undeath, evil liches, fatalism ✦ Jergal, Kiaransalee
+
+The Godsfall gave Velsharoon the opportunity he needed to defeat Jergal, removing one of the barriers to total control
+over death, and its progression to undeath. If Velsharoon is able to unseat Kelemvor, himself weakened by the Godsfall,
+Velsharoon may be able to simply bide his time until his undead armies are an insurmountable threat. Kiaransalee
+secretly cedes some of her power in the drow pantheon to Velsharoon, in an attempt to unseat Lolth.
+
+### Sune (Priestess)
+
+Heroic icon ✦ beauty, love, passion, birth, dawn, agriculture ✦ Lathander, Chauntea
+
+Expanding her portfolio beyond the simple aesthetes her clergy was once known for, Sune has taken on the influence of
+Lathander and other deities and now represents a celestial goodness with power that she has begun to flex against forces
+such as Lolth and Shar. However, the complicated histories of Sune and Lathander especially have left her with an
+imperfect relationship with Torm and Tyr.
+
+### Cyric (Prince of Shadows)
+
+Ambiguous icon ✦ lies, intrigue, deception, illusion, shadows, thievery, thieves ✦ Mask
+
+In what might have been Cyric's last act of madness, the Godsfall reset the field of power among the deities of Faerûn,
+and he was no exception --- he absorbed all of Mask's essence and strengthened his title as the Prince of Lies.
+Accordingly, he lost the portfolio of murder to Shar. Don't call it a rehabilitation, but Cyric's most evil tendencies
+have been tempered by the scheming nature of Mask.
+
+### Shar (The Three)
+
+Villainous icon ✦ dark, loss, night, murder, the Underdark, caverns, evil dragons ✦ Tiamat
+
+Appearing often as Tiamat since stealing her power in the Godsfall, the Dark Goddess has now amassed massive followings
+among the evil people and monsters of Faerûn. Many of those who live outside of normal society, or especially those in
+the Underdark, pray to Shar and Tiamat equally. Her battles with Selûne (and now Eilistraee) go back to creation, and
+her coveting of Mask's former dominion over shadow draws her into conflict with Cyric.
+
+### Other Deities
+
+These deities found their power waning in the Godsfall, cursed by their relative stagnation and lack of involvement in
+the times of change brought about by Cyric's madness. They still take on worshippers and maintain their faiths (and were
+cast into Faerûn like the rest of the deities), but they no longer maintain the significance of deities that would be
+considered icons.

+
+# Adventuring! (old, 13th Age)
+
+Adventuring! was a quasi-campaign setting world thing built from nothing but a table of creative people and the 13th Age
+system. It does *not* use the Dragon Empire, or any other setting material, and not even the icons from 13th Age. It
+does instead borrow from a variety of tropes, cultural references, etc. It is, as such, the primary force of creation
+behind [Yacsra](yacsra/).
+
+## Yacsra
+
+The world of Yacsra, bss's *yet another campaign setting, roughly assembled*, is a general purpose campaign setting,
+with a design inspired by the Dragon Empire, 13th Age's deliberately open-ended meta-setting. It takes cues (e.g. 13
+icons, points of light, etc.) but is made up of unique icons, places, etc. The material that I've written or that my
+tables have come up with off the cuff build upon the lore of Yacsra.
+
+## Quick Session Summary
+
+* Session 0 --- character creation, establishing the icons, Gnorm's bar attacked
+* Session 1 --- tracking down bar assailant, bug fight
+* [Session 2](session-2) --- confronting Bazarak
+* [Session 3](session-3) --- bar business and more people snooping around

+## Optional Rules
+
+### Relationship Connections
+
+> This rule is inspired by 13th Age's Icon Relationships, though not a direct copy. It tries to get the same feel but in
+> a Cypher System framework. ~bss
+
+To more closely connect characters with the (other) significant movers and shakers of the game, relationship connections
+generate free 1 XP spends that represent a close mystical, operational, or situational tie with a major world NPC (or
+their factions). As a reminder, 1 XP can be spent by players on:
+
+* Immediate benefits (a reroll, or refuse a GM intrusion)
+* Player intrusions (varies, see the rules as they are pretty open-ended)
+
+**Obtaining relationship points:** As an extra step in character creation, you receive 4 relationship points, which you
+allocate to 1 to 3 significant NPCs. These NPCs may be provided by the GM ahead of time, or GMs may allow players to
+define key NPCs and organizations themselves, at their discretion. Each point represents an increasingly stronger
+connection between the player character and that NPC and agents of that NPC, and makes obtaining connections more
+likely.
+
+You should define if these relationships are *positive*, *conflicted*, or *negative*, though they have no mechanical
+effect --- it is just to help establish why they are interested and involved in the events the PC experiences.
+
+**Regularly obtaining relationship connections:** After taking ten hours of rest (or otherwise making the recovery roll
+associated with a ten hour rest), roll a difficulty 5 generic (not associated to a pool) task for each relationship you
+put points into during character creation. Each point eases the task by one step. For example, a character with all of
+their points in one particular relationship makes one difficulty 1 roll after each ten hour rest, all but guaranteeing
+that their relationship will factor in to one of the upcoming scenes or conflicts, whereas a character with their points
+spread across three relationships makes three rolls that are together to succeed on but may yield more points to use.
+Since this roll is not associated to a pool, Effort cannot be used to ease the roll.
+
+If a player fails all of their relationship connection rolls, they get one connection to a relationship of the GM's
+choosing (whether or not the character is normally aligned with the relationship), which can be spent as normal, but
+it comes with a GM intrusion as an extra little gotcha when used.
+
+**Obtaining relationship connections ad hoc:** The GM can call for connection rolls for a specific relationship, as
+above, at any point if the story warrants it --- for example, if the party is encountering a site blessed by a related
+deity or meeting with officials of a related faction. The results of these rolls do not invalidate any existing
+relationship connections, but also do not yield a "gotcha" consolation connection.
+
+Generally, a player can only roll for the relationships they have, unless the GM feels the situation warrants otherwise.
+The GM may also grant free relationship connections as desired, for example if the party receives a boon from the
+emperor of the kingdom.
+
+**Using relationship connections:** Any time before their character's ten hour rest, the player has the option at any
+time to spend a connection as if it was 1 XP. The player should frame the use in light of some sort of positive or
+negative influence from the connection's people, factions, magical effects, or so on. A sudden ally appears, they recall
+some off-camera intel, the relationship's spirits suddenly appear to whisper a secret or bless their attack roll, and so
+on.
+
+Connections not spent by the time the next ten hour rest is rolled are lost.

+# Emerald Flame
+
+Emerald Flame is a PBEM Cypher System campaign set in bss's "house" setting of [Etravar](../etravar/index.md).
+
+## Characters
+
+* Asal Vorkut is an inquisitive explorer who hunts, with a combat flavor (CKeen).
+* Dax Crestfall is a kind and learned mage [adept] who remembers the past (Oz).
+* Gegren Ile is a tough helborn adept who crafts unique objects, with a skills and knowledge flavor (Mike).
+* Ni'Oth "Nia" Di'Arnay is a mysterious elf guardian [adept] who slays monsters, with a combat flavor (Murph).
+
+Players in the game can access the party's characters in [the Cypher System Character
+Builder](https://tools.cypher-system.com/account/teams/JkNqZe).
+
+## Trezuria
+
+|> [![Map of the Mystvil area of the continent of Trezuria](mystvil.png)](mystvil.png)
+|: The starting area in Emerald Flame, the Mystvil region of Trezuria.
+{: .right }
+
+In the western region of Trezuria, just south of the great mountain range that crosses the length of the continent, lies
+the Mystvil region, a fairly remote region somewhat disconnected from the greatest advances in magitech experienced
+elsewhere on the continent. However, a strange phenomenon has struck the region, causing the party to assemble and
+explore the site of an unnatural blue light that erupted from the earth around Locke.
+
+## Play By Email
+
+Gameplay occurs primarily on the [Emerald Flame mailing
+list](https://lists.incorporeal.org/postorius/lists/emerald-flame.lists.incorporeal.org/). Both players and
+readers/lurkers are encouraged to subscribe, and can do so via the web form (known/interested players should further
+send an email to the list and/or ping me off the list, so I can set up the moderation settings appropriately). The list
+is moderated to allow only the current players to post to the game, but anyone is welcome to read, and there is also a
+public archive if people would prefer to read that way. The archive [is
+here](https://lists.incorporeal.org/hyperkitty/list/emerald-flame@lists.incorporeal.org/) if you need to go back to
+refer to an old post in order to read and/or reply to it (which you can do from inside the web interface, if you are
+logged in).
+
+A draft of thoughts on how to conduct our game over email is available [here](../play-by-email.md). These are some
+things I've learned from similar ventures in the past, and also some ideas that I think should be good --- but they are
+just guidelines, and of course malleable to our group's needs.
+
+### Reminders and Pings
+
+I've also started an IRC channel, #emerald-flame, on [Randomus](https://randomus.net/), my IRC network. Players are
+encouraged to join for reminders and other out-of-game conversations ([web IRC
+link](https://webirc.randomus.net/#emerald-flame), or ask me for access to [persistent web
+connections](https://lounge.randomus.net), or see the Randomus site for client setup info), but it is expected to be
+very low traffic, and optional.
+
+## Cypher System
+
+I love [the Cypher System](../cypher/index.md). It's a flexible system with a lot of room for homebrew and game-specific
+rules, with rich character customization options, and yet the core game mechanic is pretty simple and well-suited for
+asynchronous play. There's a great rendering of [the Cypher System Reference
+Document](https://callmepartario.github.io/og-csrd/) that I suggest reading if you are not familiar with the game, and I
+also have some ever-expanding [set of homebrew and house rules](../cypher/index.md#homebrew-and-house-rules) that will
+probably be relevant to the game.
+
+### Character Creation
+
+Firstly, I encourage talking through any ideas and questions you have on the mailing list (I'll start a thread after
+some signups), so folks can see them and build ideas around the group. But, if you're still interested or on the fence,
+feel free to just ping me with any questions.
+
+[Old Gus' Unofficial Cypher System Player's Guide](https://callmepartario.github.io/og-csrd/og-cspg.html) is a really
+good starting point for getting into the system and character creation in a guided way, if you want to just take a crack
+at it on your own or get a feel for it. I have some homebrew character options and house rules, as linked above, that
+I'm working on integrating into my own copy of the CSRD, but for the moment you can just refer to that above as you're
+building a character.
+
+Things to be sure to look at:

+Magitech has started to flourish in south Trezuria, as mages and artificers have driven rapid

+
+### Wald
+
+[Wald](../parted-shadow/index.md) is an island in the Sword Ocean, distant from Trezuria and rarely visited by outsiders
+due to the extremely rough seas surrounding it.
+
+## Peoples
+
+The sapient species that compose the people of Etra come in a wide variety --- human-like or not --- and are further
+distinguished into various cultures, kin, and ethnicities based on their home region, shared traditions, flavor of
+religion, and so on. Humans, elves, and dwarves combined make up a rough majority in Etra, but there is no clear
+dominant species nor supermajority among the peoples of the world. Though isolated lands and cultures exist, it is not
+unusual for most groups to maintain a mix of types of people. Within the forgotten lands, it is possible that even the
+progenitors still live.
+
+## Religion
+
+Hundreds of major and minor deities fill the Etran pantheon, and most life activities and ideas are either directly
+represented in a a deity's portfolio, or have a patron associated with a deity. Commonfolk rarely devote themselves to
+only one deity, rather making prayers and pleas to the deities representing the trials and blessings of day-to-day life.
+Clerics and paladins of a particular god are the notable exception, but even as they call on the power of the deity that
+grants their power, they will readily say a prayer to an allied deity.
+
+Despite their role in creating the unknown universe, the Three Sisters (Nydia, Dysthia, and Etra) have no particular
+dominance or hierarchial role in the Etran pantheon.

+#### Everoak, the Grand Druid
+
+The Grand Druid is a title bestowed upon the de facto leader of the Wild Court, a senior council of high druids that
+convene to address issues facing the natural world of Trezuria. They maintain nature's place in the world, to varying
+degrees of conceptual purity and resistance against (or cooperation with) civilization. Historically, the Grand Druid
+tends to live for centuries, if not millenia, and each Grand Druid takes a title upon reaching their station and then
+guides the Wild Court as they see fit, as long as they maintain support of high druids. The objectives of the current

+#### Iris, the High Priestess
+
+Iris is the spiritual center of the Celestial Order, a hierarchical structure under which the worship of the most common
+good-aligned deities is furthered. The Celestial Order also recruits and trains a large number of paladins and clerics,
+devoted to their deity but also acting in the interest of the wide order. They have recently undergone a philosophical

+Lady Magissa is the matriarch of House Magissa, an extended family of half-elves seeking to be exclusive wielders of

+#### Thalanor, the Moon Hunter
+
+Thalanor is an unparalleled huntsman, known throughout Trezuria as the archer who took down one of the great behemoths
+decades ago. His followers and associated organizations, such as the Everred Guild, organize hunts for profit and
+renown, but there is no particular dogma or doctrine to those who look up to Thalanor. Some of the guilds and hunting

+# Age of Parted Shadow
+
+[TOC]
+
+|> [![Map of the island of Wald](wald.png)](wald.png)
+|: The island of Wald.
+{: .right }
+
+Age of Parted Shadow is a [13th Age](../13th-age/index.md) points of light campaign set on the island of Wald, an
+ancient land doomed multiple times over in previous ages and currently in a state of tenuous rebuild. As is all of the
+world of [Etravar](../etravar/index.md), the island's history is lost to the current age, and built on top of forgotten
+cultures and buried ruins. The pockets of civilization that do exist are marred by delicate order and weak alliances,
+clinging to prosperity while scraping together defenses against trouble from the many uncharted regions that are still
+home to brigands, monsters, cults, and beyond.
+
+13th Age is a game of action-centric tactical combats and player-driven narrative agency. Adventures in the Age of
+Parted Shadow are likely to be about exploring the unknown and tugging at ancient mysteries, or thwarting the many
+threats that put the island of Wald at risk of ruin or collapse. 13th Age is a game of dynamic narrative determined at
+the table by way of backgrounds and icon relationships, so the particulars of the emerging threat(s) taking center stage
+will be determined during play.
+
+**Current status: [RECRUITING](recruitment.md)**
+
+## Icons of Wald
+
+There are nine powerful icons in the Age of Parted Shadow that make up the milieu of conflict across the island. Players
+choose relationships between their character and the icons, and these relationships create the foundation of how the
+character relates to the overall world.
+
+None of the icons benefit from a particular power or advantage over any of the others, for now (though the campaign may
+likely become about how that balance changes!). The core icons from the 13th Age rulebook/setting are listed next to the
+icons of Wald in order to approximate a mapping between the published icons and ours, in the event a class feature or
+magic item or similar refers to the core icons. These mappings are not absolute, however, and it shouldn't be assumed
+that any particular element of the 13th Age icons shows up in the Wald icon it is mapped to.
+
+| Icon                   | 13A Icon(s)                                | Theme(s)               | Alignment[^1]   |
+|------------------------|--------------------------------------------|------------------------|-----------------|
+| **The Abyssal Mother** | The Diabolist                              | Disorder               | Chaotic Evil    |
+| **The Beastlord**      | The Orc Lord[^2]                           | Violence               | Chaotic Neutral |
+| **The Five**           | The Three                                  | Dominance              | Neutral Evil    |
+| **The Gold Regent**    | The Emperor, the Dwarf King, the Elf Queen | Unity                  | Neutral Good    |
+| **The Grand Druid**    | The High Druid                             | Balance, natural order | Chaotic Good    |
+| **The Gray Sorceress** | The Archmage, the Prince of Shadows[^3]    | Manipulation           | True Neutral    |
+| **The Hierophant**     | The Priestess, the Great Gold Wyrm         | Devotion               | Lawful Good     |
+| **The Warlord**        | The Crusader                               | Conquest               | Lawful Neutral  |
+| **The Timeless**       | The Lich King                              | Corruption             | Lawful Evil     |
+
+[^1]: The game does not use alignment, so this is just a general reference point. The lines are meant to be blurry, and
+    the * Neutral icons are ones that only rarely, if ever, fall on the "good" side of the line.
+[^2]: Our actively marauding analogue to the Orc Lord is not dead as the Orc Lord of canon is.
+[^3]: The Gray Sorceress manifests the mysterious and clandestine nature of the Prince of Shadows's manipulative ways.
+    Thieves and assassins could be associated with many of the other icons; the Gray Sorceress is above petty larceny
+    and simple murder.
+
+### The Abyssal Mother
+
+The Abyssal Mother, a humanoid female not unlike a tiefling, is the herald of the hell-worlds of the Abyss responsible
+for the spawning of demons and devils that threaten everything in Wald. Her role, leading the id of the Abyss such as it
+is, puts her somewhere between being a demonic conductor and struggling just to point the demonic wave in the right
+direction. She might embody pure chaos, or she might have an agenda of her own, but her control over the hells is
+incomplete; she'd be an even bigger threat if she managed to get the demon lords or the Abyss itself under her clawed
+thumb.
+
+### The Beastlord
+
+A massive shapeshifter who delights in the thrill of the hunt no matter the quarry, he and his unorganized clans torment
+the entire island, especially any semblence of civilization. He has no allies, but his ravagers keep his enemies in
+check --- for now. While some of his followers care only so far as satiating their bloodlust, he enjoys a healthy
+representation among those who are willing to look the other way or reintepret an ethos based largely on killing those
+weaker than oneself.
+
+### The Five
+
+Five ancient chromatic dragons, perhaps the oldest living things in all of Wald. They slumber in hidden lairs, bound by
+a curse from a past age. Their dreams influence and tempt all creatures, but especially dragons, poisoning their minds
+with hunger for power and dominance. If the Five rose from their slumber and managed to ally with each other, their
+might would hand them all of Wald.
+
+### The Gold Regent
+
+Leading --- nominally --- a group of lords, mayors, and royalty representing major regions and cities across Wald, the
+Gold Regent holds together a loose alliance with a shared goal of maintaining trade and peace for their respective
+peoples. Staying allied is considerably easier said than done, especially as it relates to the proud dwarves and aloof
+elves. Technically, the alliance spans from the underground dwarven kingdoms to the deepest elven forests, but everyone
+knows that it rests on a knife's edge.
+
+### The Grand Druid
+
+Holding the highest rank among all circles of druids, the current Grand Druid is a half-elf woman determined to protect
+the lands of Wald and prevent the overreach of civilization. She maintains lukewarm relations with the Gold Regent ---
+aligned in dark times such as these, but at odds in their philosophies. Living dungeons being understood as a natural
+(but warped) occurrence, it's unclear if the Grand Druid opposes or secretly endorses them.
+
+### The Gray Sorceress
+
+A long-lived and powerful spellcaster unknown to most, with an interest in maintaining Wald's advancement --- as she
+interprets it, anyway. The Gray Sorceress's true name is unknown; she is currently inhabiting the body of a human woman,
+advancing her schemes by subterfuge or direct intervention in Wald's affairs, treating any capable individuals or groups
+as pawns. She has few agents, but attracts followers and enemies alike when her schemes and manipulation become known.
+
+### The Hierophant
+
+A righteous human blessed by the gods and goddesses of light, his influence crosses many concerns over the pantheon, and
+he is also the superintendent of the Holy Order, a broad organization of holy warriors seeking to further the
+advancement of the light, however difficult that is to accomplish in this age. His leadership is both organizational and
+spiritual, though he cannot attend to all of the details of the holy bureaucracy.
+
+### The Warlord
+
+An amoral king and chosen of the gods and goddesses of darkness, the Warlord's thirst for dominion over of all of Wald
+is tempered, for now, by his campaign against the demons, undead, and other forces seeking to ruin the world he would
+claim as his own. As his dark gods continue to empower him and his armies, he may move on his aspirations.
+
+### The Timeless
+
+A lich whose true name and history have been lost to the centuries, the Timeless is followed and revered for his arcane
+power and access to terrible magic otherwise forgotten or shunned in the current age. Lost civilizations hold more
+secrets and yield more undead to scour the land, so the Timeless's followers are common to ruins. His cults, more
+prevalent than admitted, operate openly in the isolation of the wild and in secret in the graveyards and catacombs of
+cities.
+
+## The Island of Wald
+
+|> [![Map of the island of Wald](wald.png)](wald.png)
+|: The world map of the island of Wald. Note that this includes only major cities and features of the island; with many towns, keeps, dungeons, hellholes, forests, camps, lakes, and so on left to fill as the campaign progresses. In this sense, it doubles as the baseline of what anyone in-game would know about the map of Wald.
+{: .full-width }
+
+In prior ages, Wald was largely explored, mostly understood, and heavily settled. This age, all of that is lost --- the
+Wald of the Age of Parted Shadow is generally mapped but largely unexplored, at least concretely. There are few major
+cities, and the scattered towns and villages come and go without warning. A general route spanning from east to west
+exists, but it is especially rough and vague on the western half of the island. The southern peninsula is even less
+welcoming to land travel as most visitors come in to its cities via the sea known as the Mouth. Countless settlements
+are scattered throughout the island.
+
+All of that said, there are eight settlements large enough and stable enough to be considered Wald's major cities:
+
+* **Bladesdale** --- the center of trade in eastern Wald, situated conveniently enough between Hydra Pass
+  and Prism to the north, and Silver Port and NAME HERE across the sea to the south. The closest Wald has to a capital
+  city, the Gold Regent holds court here.
+* **Coldhill**
+* **Gale**
+* **Hydra Pass**, aka the Gateway to the West, aka the End of Civilization (to those better off in the east) --- a major
+  trading hub and thoroughfare, nestled among Many-Heads, and the only major establishment near the Great Wastes.
+* **Silver Port**
+* **Last Chance**, as in "the Last Chance to turn around" --- a cosmopolitan city of brigands, outcasts, monstrous
+  humanoids, the occasional good-natured soul, and the like, Last Chance attracts all variety of unconventional
+  civilization due to its remoteness and adjacency to Blackmarsh.
+* **Onyx** --- the Warlord's kingdom originated in Onyx, his most significant fortress which also serves as his castle
+  and seat of power. Below it is an elaborate system drawing water from an underground lake, and Onyx is said to drill
+  even deeper into the underworld.
+* **Prism**
+
+And, the most significant (un)natural features of Wald:
+
+* **The Forest of Misfortune** --- a thick and ancient wood, it's believed this was once the stronghold of the elves.
+  Certainly they are more represented there than elsewhere, but the forest is now known more for its ancient and failing
+  magic wards that thwart, entrap, and confuse travelers. Suspicious-minded folks suspect elves are immune to this
+  magic.
+* **Many-Heads** --- a nearly impassible mountain range, dense with impressive peaks and treacherous mountain faces,
+  with only one rough path through the range. Hydra Pass maintains some amount of order on the path, enough to defend
+  travelers from casual threats, but many dangers and secrets reside deeper in the mountains.
+* **The Mouth** --- a relatively calm sea, the Mouth sees healthy trade between the cities and towns on its coast. Many
+  small islands dot the sea and attract pirates and predators. The large island to the east, entering the Mouth, is
+  heavily contested by traders, pirates, and various monsters, and particularly chaotic.

+# Age of Parted Shadow Recruitment
+
+Hello! I (bss) am starting up [Age of Parted Shadow](index.md), a 13th Age game. 13th Age is my favorite D&D-like, and
+if you are familiar with D&D 4e especially, you will find a lot of familiar components and approaches in the game, but
+with less tactical combat minutiae and more collaborative player-driven storytelling. It's a game of heroic action
+combat supported by freeform narrative mechanics. I think it makes for awesome fantasy adventuring.
+
+|> [![Map of the island of Wald](wald.png)](wald.png)
+|: Where we'll be playing.
+{: .right }
+
+Information about the game and world can be found on the Age of Parted Shadow page linked above. Below I have some notes
+for how I see getting the game together. If you are interested in joining the game or have questions or anything, you've
+probably already let me know, but as we get closer to "ready to play", I will be building some long-term places for us
+to communicate and play.
+
+## Gameplay
+
+**Probable venue: Foundry Virtual Tabletop.**
+
+I have a Foundry VTT server running on my own infrastructure, along with a LiveKit subscription for (hopefully)
+convenient audio/visual conferencing. 13th Age does not need a battle map, but does benefit from one, and I think this
+arrangement will sufficiently cover live play. I would have the server running and allowing connections for a while
+before and after our scheduled game time, for people to make level up adjustments, check things, remember what we were
+doing, and so on.
+
+Note: I am choosing not to use Discord for A/V (or chat, see below) for a variety of reasons. If we literally can't get
+anything in Foundry VTT or Mumble or whatever to work, it's an option, but I am trying to avoid it.
+
+If everyone ends up being local, I would be open to playing in my basement. The gaming table seats six, and there's
+generally plenty of room to congregate. However, I'm expecting this might be a bit more convenient if we're playing
+online, obviously so if some of you are not in "the area". I don't think I'd try to do a mix of in-person and remote, it
+tends to be a headache unless someone here happens to be an expert at teleconferencing production.
+
+## Scheduling
+
+**Proposed time: Wednesday evenings (Central Time), biweekly.**
+
+Here's the sad truth: my schedule is pretty limited between work and kids and other obligations. The #1 option for me
+right now is Wednesday evenings, US Central time. Monday evenings might work, but they would have to be alternating with
+my other gaming group, and Friday evenings have an off chance of working but are prone to conflicts on my side. Tuesday
+and Thursday evenings are difficult and more time-constrained but not quite excluded, but the weekends are all but
+certainly excluded except as a one-off or maybe where we can put major events.
+
+When letting me know if you're interested, please include schedule info.
+
+## Organization and Downtime Discussion
+
+**Probable venue: mailing list or forum.**
+
+I'm guessing that this game may be spread across multiple of my circles, so we'll need to settle somewhere in order to
+coordinate and confirm sessions, talk about post-game things, let the group know about conflicts, and so on. This
+function especially I do not like walling this behind Discord, and I don't plan on making a Discord instance for A/V, so
+we need to pick something. I see some options for this, in no particular order other than my general outlook:
+
+* **Mailing list** --- I run mailing list software already, and it generally gets to recipients just fine. It's the low
+  tech option that people still kind of know how to work with.
+* **Forum** --- I don't currently run a forum to organize on, but if people wanted a post-based experience without using
+  email, I could see what I can scare up. It'd pretty much be just for this purpose, however. Or, I don't mind using
+  someone else's forum for this purpose, if such a thing exists.
+* **IRC** --- I also run an IRC network where I have a couple games organized and even ran over; IRC is tough to use
+  satisfactorily for some, I will admit, but I have options to make it more convenient. IRC conversations are great, but
+  the alternatives might be a bit more natural to folks --- I may make a channel for chit-chat regardless.
+
+Let me know what you think.
+
+## Logs, Journals, etc.
+
+**Probable repository: here, also a wiki?**
+
+This website is backed by a Git repo, and it's simple for me to let folks contribute to it in Markdown or plain text
+format. That's easy (for me) but a bit manual and probably not everyone's preferred way to collect stuff. If folks would
+like a wiki, I'm open to running one (probably DokuWiki) or using someone else's (as long as it's easy to use).

+Title:          Play By Email Games
+Description:    bss's thoughts, guidelines, and etc. on playing "tabletop" roleplaying games over email.
+
+# Play By Email Games
+
+I'm providing some notes (still in draft form) for plans and procedures on playing RPGs over email. This is meant, for
+the moment at least, to be an organization of what I'm thinking will work, to see if others will think it'll work too.
+~bss
+
+## Timing
+
+PBEM is a great format because it allows a variety of players in different timezones and of different availabilities to
+play a game together, but PBEM is tougher because it can take weeks to accomplish something that might otherwise take an
+hour. I think the most effective way to keep the game moving is regular posting to keep the action moving. A good
+posting cadence might be every few days, hopefully no more than once a week?
+
+## Updates
+
+Of course, half of the fun is having the space to write to a desireble length in one post and let the game play out
+between what you present and the others' reaction to that post. We just need to make sure the focus is on action. These
+are some guidelines (not rules) that I think make sense.
+
+**First:** describe your character in terms of the actions they take.
+
+You should frame your updates in terms of what your character does. Internal monologues and scene setting are welcome
+(encouraged, in fact), but in the end, the update for the rest of the players is what *is happening*, not merely what
+your character sees or thinks. This gives the group something to riff off of and respond to or use to consider their
+next action. Worry less about the game terms for doing a thing, and just do the thing. Or...
+
+**Second:** ask questions if the details matter, but don't let them stop the action.
+
+If you need more information, or a ruling to be made, ask, but see if you can provide contingent actions based on the
+expected results, where appropriate. This is just to save time of back and forth. Feel free to update with a modest set
+of options, e.g. "if the dragon rears to attack, I quickly jump behind the pile of treasure next to me, but if it
+chooses to negotiate, I would like to take a diplomatic tone." "If that awning looks like it'd be possible for me to
+reach, I'll jump up there, spending effort if I need to, but if it seems impossible I'll run around the corner." Or
+whatever.
+
+**Third:** if the details don't matter yet, embellish, but also embrace "yes, but".
+
+If a minor NPC is a valuable (or maybe even trivial) addition to your post, add them and write how they respond. I don't
+need to get in the way of that, and I consider world-building to be a collaborative thing. Describe something noteworthy
+in the marketplace, elaborate on the manner or demeanor of the people in the street, or have a merchant agree to common
+terms on the cost of normal items. This too keeps the game moving, and gives more in the world to react to (or have
+react to you). Just don't go overboard.
+
+**Fourth:** I reserve the right to make a basic, but reasonable, action for idle characters in combat.
+
+For most out-of-combat situations, it's easy to assume that any players not taking an action are happy to go along with
+the flow, so if players are quiet for a bit, the action still progresses. In combat, however, charaters doing nothing
+can disturb the narrative and the gameplay, so if it's been days (or a week?) since a post and we're in combat, I may
+take a reasonable action for your character to keep the game moving.
+
+## Post Format
+
+I don't want to make posting updates arduous; getting the post out there is the important part. I think some guidelines
+will help, however.
+
+**First:** out-of-character questions, updates, etc. in brackets (`[]`).
+
+Describing action should be done in paragraphs with no specific formatting. Dialogue should be in quotation marks. Out
+of character information, questions, mechanical stuff, however, should be in paragraphs enclosed in `[` and `]`.
+Example:
+
+```
+Having dodged the dragon's terrible acid breath, Croma is undeterred by the
+assault and charges forward, broadsword primed over his shoulder, yelling
+a challenge. When he reaches the dragon, he swings down, focused, perhaps
+overconfidently, on decapitating it in one blow.
+
+"I swore that I would return with your head as a trophy!"
+
+[This is a pretty tough dragon, right? I think I'm going to use two
+levels of Effort on this just to make sure, and as a reminder I am skilled
+in "making reckless attacks", which I think this qualifies as? Either way,
+a Might-based attack, and I don't know the difficulty so I'll let you roll
+it.]
+```
+
+**Second:** if you are quoting a post, post your reply *below* the quote; everything should read in order from the top
+of the post.
+
+AKA "bottom-posting", put your reply or continuaton of thought below the text you are responding to, so that it reads
+logically without scrolling to the bottom to find the context. Try to chop the post to its specific context as well,
+when possible, to reduce the amount of quoted text people have to reread. Example:
+
+```
+> When he reaches the dragon, he swings down, focused, perhaps
+> overconfidently, on decapitating it in one blow.
+
+[Attacking the dragon is Difficulty 5, but with your Effort and skill, the
+7 I rolled for you is just enough.]
+
+Crome's broadsword strikes the dragon's neck soundly, but, surprisingly to
+Crome --- and perhaps no one else --- the dragon's head is *not* severed,
+and it reflexively lashes back in pain, knocking Crome back on his feet
+next to the dragon. A bit of acid drips from the dragon's open wound, but
+it looks angered and committed to continuing the fight.
+```
+
+**Third:** reply to the existing thread whenever possible.
+
+Mail clients that do threading of posts make it easy to collect emails by subject, and can result in a nice tree view of
+the proceedings. Generally, a new scene warrants a new top post with a new subject, but otherwise updates within that
+scene should usually be replies to the most recent or relevant post in the thread.
+
+**Fourth:** if you have an out of character update or question or so on, start a new thread starting with "OOC:"
+
+If you have a question or update for the group --- you have a question about a rule or character option, or maybe you're
+letting the group know you'll be on vacation for a week --- rather than complicating the gameplay with a tangent, make a
+new thread and start the subject with "OOC: ". In OOC threads, the rest of the formatting guidelines don't really matter
+--- they're just emails.
+
+## Rolling Dice
+
+Personally, I think I'm good with the honor system. If you know the parameters of the roll and are ready to roll, make
+the roll yourself with whatever tool you prefer and tell us the result, both in game terms and in narrative terms. (In a
+Cypher System game, this usually means you know the difficulty of the task you are attempting, are conscious of any
+Effort you are spending, and are at least fairly confident in the assets, hindrances, and skills in play. Just be okay
+with being corrected if you are meaningfully off in your calculations.)
+
+You can also just roll if you don't know the target or want to leave the math to me --- again, honor system in both
+directions. Cypher System rolls are simple d20 rolls, so you could just say (OOC) that you rolled an 8 and leave
+success/failure to me.
+
+And, as in the example above, if you'd prefer to just leave the whole business to me, that's fine too.
+
+## The Mailing List
+
+The mailing list created for a campaign will provide a common point for managing member email addresses, providing some
+list-specific settings, and automatically archiving our emails. **This list, and notably the archive, will be publically
+viewable.** This is advantageous to allow those casually interested to check out the game and potentially become the
+next player in the game. However, the list will be moderated and only allow the game's players to post to it without
+review. This is, of course, a spam reduction tactic, but will also help keep the game from drifting off-topic.
+
+My MTA *should* have a pretty good reputation with providers, but the state of email in 2025 is always on a knife's
+edge, so mail delivery may have issues from time to time; it's recommended to whitelist/accept/filter-on/etc. the list
+email address.

 ## Tools and Standards
 
 Jotting down things I'm using for the campaign that haven't yet become part of my "normal" process, such as it is, but
 might in the future.
 
+### Cypher Tables
+
+Treat all cypher types as manifest by default. Roll a d20 and use that result for which table to roll on (they're all
+built as percentile tables, so you can roll a d20 and a d100 for both together).
+
+| Roll   | Origin/Type              |
+|--------|--------------------------|
+| 1--4   | *Core*/Manifest (p.382)  |
+| 5--7   | *Core*/Subtle (p.383)    |
+| 8--11  | *Godforsaken* (p.141)    |
+| 12--20 | *Core*/Fantastic (p.384) |
+
+Most instances work in the game and could be represented as at least one kind of physical item, or roll on the cypher
+form table in *Godforsaken* (which would be a combined roll of d20; d100; d100).
