	However, much as Aeoleri predicted, the actions of Alil during the War's end invited the attention of a new deity, [[Serachel]], ostensibly sent to make right the disruption to the divine order. Rather than chide the goddess, Serachel instead chose to rule alongside her, ushering in the fabled Dalae period. While revered in certain aelin religious histories, this was one of Aeoleri's darkest moments, as his priesthood had been all but marginalized, replaced by the hedonistic vainglory of the Serachelian and Alilean confluence. As the corruption of the aelin soul grew more overt, [[Void magic]] imported from the [[shuddeni]] underworld upset the balance of the aelin houses, and appeared poised to cement the perversion of classical aelin conceits as a new social order. While the Aeolians fought in what ways they could, the light of their dedication was nearly snuffed out.		However, much as Aeoleri predicted, the actions of Alil during the War's end invited the attention of a new deity, [[Serachel]], ostensibly sent to make right the disruption to the divine order. Rather than chide the goddess, Serachel instead chose to rule alongside her, ushering in the fabled Dalae period. While revered in certain aelin religious histories, this was one of Aeoleri's darkest moments, as his priesthood had been all but marginalized, replaced by the hedonistic vainglory of the Serachelian and Alilean confluence.

While the Aeolians fought in what ways they could, the light of their dedication was nearly snuffed out.

	The sudden arrival of [[Rystaia Lightbringer]] and the [[ch'taren]] radically reframed the [[War of Night]] narrative, and the banishment of Serachel to the realm of [[Nightmare]] provided Aeoleri sudden opportunity. Predicating his decision on Alil's violation of the Compact (which had yet remained unrighted), he separated Alil from the mundane world and bound her to the heavens. While a grave decision even to his following, the choice was seen as an unfortunate but inevitable consequence, and cast Alil herself as an object of pity and scorn, having been corrupted by Serachel's wickedness. However, the changes of the Dalae period could never be entirely undone, shaking the foundation of aelin society. From then on, the Aeolian priesthood became the sentinel of their ancient patriarchy, and the vehicle through which the social order was reinstated.

	Aeoleri's following rose to particular prominence during the pre-modern era, with the coronation of [[Yesa Aea'ria]] as the Rose Consort. For the first time, his creed extended measurably beyond Daphoa, and factored significantly into the overall spirit of the [[Champions of Avendar]]. Graceful concession, righteous judgment, and romantic flair were canonized as Aeolian ideals, casting the mold in which generations of adventurers would spring. However, the moment itself wilted as quickly as it blossomed; while heroes and heroines of the Rose appeared occasionally after, they were long overshadowed by peers of other, more militant, religions. This, perhaps, motivated the Rose King to align himself with the [[Grand Federation of Merchants]], to again wield his charisma to press the world toward a more ideal form.

Kiss of the Blackened Tears (Skill)

Activation lag : 1.0 rounds

Activation cost : 100 mana

Duration: 2 hours

Syntax: automatic

Few if any can match the raw sensuality of the demon-succubus Pricina,
nor her ability to intermix both pain and pleasure. Those of nightfall who
pledge to her gain a small measure of this power; in particular, whenever
such a one casts the drain spell at a victim, there is a chance the target
will find it a pleasurable experience. Subsequent castings will be more and
more effective as the victim finds less and less will to resist its power,
an effect which stacks to a point. Though this state does not last long,
each new casting will both renew and intensify it. The increased
effectiveness of the drain spell applies to both the damage dealt and the
amount of life restored to the caster.

Activation lag : 1.0 rounds

Syntax: automatic

Only those who follow the path of Nightfall come to fully understand and
embrace the power of night, coming into their own as children of that very
darkness. Duskfall marks a time of power for these few, who will enjoy an
increase to hitroll, damroll, and resistances during the night. These
bonuses will increase in power until midnight, then gradually fall off until
vanishing completely at the break of dawn. Higher skill allows the mage to
maintain the peak bonuses for a longer duration, while those of eviler bent
will be more greatly empowered. As this energy is drawn from night itself,
the scholar will receive its benefits regardless of whether his immediate
surrounds are illuminated.

single corpse, reaching a maximum of three at the caster's maximum level.

The fiends will mindlessly rescue the caster in combat, but are not capable of
understanding an order to do so. If their lives are not magically prolonged,
they will crumble to dust when the duration expires.

Revenant (Skill)

Activation lag : 1.0 rounds

Activation cost : 100 mana

Syntax: Automatic

Sufficiently skilled necromancers will eventually undertake the process of
becoming undead themselves. The benefits of this are significant:

The revenant will regain mana by being struck by negative damage (so long as
it is not self-incurred), and will become more resistant to disease and
psionic effects. Spells that induce fear in enemies will be more difficult to
save against. Assassin poisons will do absolutey nothing to them. They will
never need to eat or drink, though they may if they so choose. Blood will
serve as both intoxicant and drug: they will gain benefits from drinking it,
varying based on the source creature.

When struck, they may spray toxic blood, potentially infecting their assailant
with disease.

As one's transformation continues, up until the skill maximizes, other undead
creatures will grow more pacific to the revenant, though extremely powerful,
intelligent, or enchanted undead will still attack. Finally, they will suffer
no penalties from age. Indeed, they cannot even die of old age, though their
ability to remake their own body will swiftly degrade. Their maximum potential
number of deaths will be harshly reduced once they exceed their natural
lifespan.

However, there are significant downsides to turning oneself into an eternal
embodiment of death. The revenant will become significantly more flammable,
vulnerable to holy power, and can now be damaged by holy water or the rite of
Nathli. Water magic healing will be less effective, and they cannot be
affected by communion.

Finally, Lielqan will refuse to intercede for any revenant, should their
current body be 'slain'. A revenant must re-inhabit their own corpse or craft
a new one themself.

Defiant Revival (Skill)

Activation lag : 1.5 rounds

Activation cost : 0 mana

Syntax: Repossess, Revive

Having turned their back on Lielqan's protection against the Dragon,
necromancers must use other means to restore themselves after death. Using the
Repossess command, a necromancer may force their spirit back into their own
former body, reanimating the dead flesh; any items still on the corpse will
be placed into their inventory.

If the corpse is inaccessible, folded, spindled, mutilated, or destroyed, or
the necromancer simply wishes to craft new flesh, they may craft a new body
for themself out of material in the ambient environment around their spirit
using the revive command. This body will of course be nude. It will take a
similar amount of time to prepare to revive as it would for anyone else to
resurrect.

Upon dying the necromancer's spirit will still materialize at their altar of
recall; they may reposses their corpse immediately if they can locate it.
Bodies that decay unclaimed will still return any possessions to one's altar.

The necromancer will still experience death penalty as normal. This skill
cannot fail to resurrect the user, but a lack of expertise will result in a 5-
hour penalty to strength and dexterity. The more poorly-crafted body will have
greater penalties; at maximum a body will have no such craftsmanship errors.

Revenants have no choice but to use this skill to resurrect; all others may
still seek the services of a healer.

the fringes of the Void. While in this state, the caster can neither be seen
by any means but truesight nor attacked. While in this state, the caster will
be unable to interact with the physical world in most ways, such as picking up
items, removing them from containers, or casting spells.

This spell can be prematurely ended, like all other concealment spells, by
using the visible command. No matter how the spell ends, when the caster
returns wholly to the material plane, he will take both significant damage and
a penalty to his maximum health. The recast delay of this spell will take
effect after the spell ends.

Greater Demon Summon (Spell)

Activation lag : 2.0 rounds

Activation cost : 175 mana

Syntax: Cast 'Greater Demon Summon'

The most powerful of the summoning rituals of the Void, this spell calls forth
a greater demon from beyond the Veil to the caster's current location. In
order for this spell to be successful, the correct symbol must already have
been inscribed in the room, in the correct material. If the combination is
correct, a demon will be called forth, and will demand payment of the scholar
in exchange for its services. Should the scholar be able to pay, the demon
will then aid him, for a time.

Greater demons are often tremendously powerful; it is rumoured that the truly
skilled summoner might even be able to call upon some of the greatest demon
lords of the Void by this method.

fail outright.

Gate (Spell)

Activation lag : 1.0 rounds

Activation cost : 80 mana

Syntax: Cast 'Gate' <target>

Gate tears a hole in the fabric of the material plane, allowing the caster to
step directly through the Void and emerging by the spell's target, back on the
material. As the mortal body is not suited to the rigors of the Void, the
passage will deal some damage to the caster. The heart of a once-living
creature must be used to power this spell. Both the level of the target and
the level of the creature the heart came from will affect this spell's chances
of success. If targetting a mobile, it is possible to specify multiple
keywords that relate to the target; this is often necessary for accuracy in
transport.

Desecration (Spell)

Activation lag : 2.0 rounds

Activation cost : 70 mana

Syntax: Cast 'Desecration'

This spell corrupts and defiles the immediate vicinity of the caster, bringing
it closer to the Void. While the room is desecrated, the word of recall spell
in all its forms will be ineffective, and it is impossible to spiritrecall
from such a place. Spells without any Void component to them will have a
chance of failing if attemtped in this place; water spells are particularly
likely to fail here. On the other hand, spells that in any way gain power from
Void magics will have a bonus to their caster level. The sanctuary spell has
no effect in a defiled room.

In order to be desecrated, a room must not be underwater or sanctified. Anyone
passing through a desecrated room will be able to identify that something is
unusual about this place; Void scholars will recognize the effects of the
spell immediately.

The sanctify spell counters and dispels a desecration. This spell cannot be
used by anyone with any measure of gold aura.
