-Once apart in the world, wizards now stand challenged by the advance of artifice. The relation between the two has, officially, been tumultuous. That is not to say that individual wizards and artificers do not find matters of agreement--rather, it often means that their methods of working, their goals, and their faiths, tend to be vastly different and it tends to lend itself to different mindsets and goals. This mindset has been most prominent in guilds and organizations--who often find themselves at odds economically as well as idealistically.
+Once apart in the world, wizards now stand challenged by the advance of artifice and by the crumbling of the once-respected Conclave of Rune.

-The title of "wizard" still carries an aura of mystique, and in many, but not all places--wizards are an accepted part of life. From low-level tinkerers to masters of the art, from the kindly crafter of fireworks to the devious crafter of ancient wonders, wizards have long been found upon Ea's landscape.
+The title of "wizard" still carries an aura of mystique, though in many, but not all places--wizards are an accepted part of life. From low-level tinkerers to masters of the art, from the kindly crafter of fireworks to the devious crafter of ancient wonders, wizards have long been found upon Ea's landscape. Thus, fear of magic tends to be relatively rare--though fear and mistrust of ''specific types'', especially the darker arts, is a growing concern. With Rune's Conclave out of the picture, wizard schools have become more localized, with local traditions, and the practice of the darker arts has become less accepted, not more.
-In the minds of the public, wizards have been associated with the Convocation of Rune for most of known history. Rune, through its efforts, has been responsible for much of the wizardly order and education. With the fall of this nation, what will happen remains to be seen. In the meantime, wizards have taken to forming smaller convocations, which are run officially by various nations. This has had the effect of a greater variety of local flavor and invention. Rune's laws and influence still hold sway, however--necromancy remains a dark art, and Taara's influences ensure it will remain so. [[image:wizard07.jpg|thumb|right]]
+With Rune's loss, and the fall of their famed God of Magic, the nature of magic is changing underneath the feet of these arcanists. With [[Eluna]] on one side, and [[Taara]] on the other, the image of the mage is less the bookish know-it-all than it is the individual with purpose and goals. Wizards are now even more divided amongst themselves by ideology, giving rise to the famous (and spectacular) Wizard's Duels. They've joined politics, exploration teams...the role and realm of wizardry is changing from something more passive to something...different.
-Most wizards hold to an abstract philosophy named the Covenant of Mana. The Covenant describes the use and invocation of magic--its roots are lost to history, but it's likely it was inspired from Animus, Himself.
+Oddly, this increased competition has increased the rate of study, of discovery, and new arcane wonders are being discovered more often than before. To some, this was a long-needed shake-up. To others, more comfortable in bookish studies, they worry it might have gone too far.

 ''Khazad-Aul, Khazad-Mornir Warriors''
-The iconic [[fighter|warrior]] (with a usually level head), the [[khazad]] are sorely unrepresented in this area. So too, are their wise priests and [[cleric|clerics]], who tend to hold a respected, and treasured, place within khazad society. A number of them are also famed beard-readers and diviners, a respected form of divination among the race.

 ==Recent Rumors in Alexandria==
 ===Variday, Hattanan 07===
-Groups of [[khazad]] are being spotted around the city. These [[khazad]] appear to be taking measurements of various locations, escorted by city guard. They meet with merchants and the heads of temples, and fierce arguments, debates take place in angry whispers. Even stranger, they appear to be in communication with a number of Blarite, [[arvek nar]] engineers and their counterpart architects among the Alexandrian populace. Something big, some sort of building project, is on the horizon, and prayers to [[Reos]] are accordingly on the rise.

 Moreover, airships loaded with masonry and timber are arriving from various destinations and orders to local quarries have tripled. Stone is being stockpiled as government coffers, swollen by the recent increases in trade, are now paying out to purchase supplies for an as-yet unannounced project.

	'''Dwarven Armored Kilt'''		'''Dwarven Armored Kilt'''

−	The armored kilt is made of a thick cloth skirt with bars of steel hanging down from the waist and a ring of horizontal steel plates just above the hem. An armored kilt can be worn separately as light armor, or it can be added to other suits of light or medium armor. Adding an armored kilt increases a suit of armor’s armor bonus by +1, but it adds 15 pounds to the armor, lowers the maximum Dex bonus by 1, and increases the armor’s weight category (from light to medium and from medium to heavy). Adding an armored kilt to heavy armor does not provide an armor bonus increase.	+	The armored kilt is made of a thick cloth skirt with bars of steel hanging down from the waist and a ring of horizontal steel plates just above the hem.

Adding an armored kilt to heavy armor does not provide an armor bonus increase. On its own, it provides an AC bonus of 1, a max Dex of 6, and is considered light armor. Its base ASF is 10%.
