Category talk:Gaera Main

question about page renaming (resolved)

Would anyone be terribly upset if I renamed the subcategories of this page, i.e.

• Gaera Main City Notes
• Gaera Main Deities
• Gaera Main Important Locations
• Gaera Main Theology
• Gaeran Continents
• Gaeran Festivals
• Gaeran Magic
• Gaeran Nations

so that they are easier to scan (for what the contents are, i.e., short title) and organize on this page alphabetically?

I have no intention of touching Gaera Main Characters. Besides generally not wanting to mess with others' sheets, even for links, there's 140+ entries which are for the most part, pretty large entries. I figure one of the categories will be better than many--I'd like to see if it can be made to organize before all the rest of the categories.

What do you want to change them to? I mean, I doubt anyone's going to be really broken up about it. I'm just not sure what you want instead. --Kai 16:59, 25 February 2007 (PST)

It would have been useful to include that, huh?

• Gaera Main City Notes --> Cities
• Gaera Main Deities --> Deities
• Gaera Main Important Locations --> Important Locations
• Gaera Main Theology --> Theology
• Gaeran Continents --> Continents
• Gaeran Festivals --> Festivals
• Gaeran Magic --> Magic
• Gaeran Nations --> Nations

Yeah, that looks fine. If you're interested in doing it, you should go ahead. --Kai 17:35, 25 February 2007 (PST)

misc infodump

Things from the rpgww.org site that I'm not really sure where to put:

gaera_money.html

From the website at rpstuff/gaera_money.html, comparing currency worth comparative to the Doman gil. This was way before the Malachian War, so it's not likely to be as accurate anymore. Just finding a place to infodump.

Currency rates:

The former complex table was becoming an irritation to code accurately; therefore, the table has been greatly simplified. All money is valued compared to the Doman gil, which is worth half of a US dollar ($0.78 Canadian, £0.34 UK). That is, each number tells how much a single unit of each currency is worth in Doman gil.

D-gil	1
chi	1
favor	0.50
guilder	1.1
gum	0.75
kurlen	0.50
mrr	2
ou	2
R-gil	0.78
T-zante	0.70
VC	0.71
yuro	2
zante (Baronian)	0.75
zenny	0.20

Doman General Catalogue (DMC)

The DGC, or Doman General Catalogue, is a collection of data on stars. Started by a group of people interested in formalizing what facts were known about the various stars, they set out to catalog information on them, and see if any patterns emerged. This catalogue includes common name or names, color, position in the sky, and any odd features about the star (e.g., varying brightness, odd shape, visible motion, etc...). Each star is assigned a number in chronological order, and the catalogue currently features information on about 2500 stars.

blood magic

"blood magic - Despite what its name implies, "blood magic" does not refer to a group of spells but rather a unique ability to be able to synthesize mana from the energy released when blood is spilled. / Blood magic is more of an inherited, and not a learned, ability. Only certain races can ever use it, and only one race (the 'angels' to the west of Doma and along the Shuman Mountains) on Gaera is known to have mages born with the ability regularly. In all the other races capable of blood magic, the occurance of the trait is rare. / A problem with blood magic is that it is an uncontrolled, involuntary process. Mana overflow, caused by an excess of mana in the body, is a common problem with "blood mages." In instances of mana overflow, excess mana is not only oftentimes damaging to the mage's body, but also is dispelled via uncontrollable, unpredictable, and oftentimes very dangerous wild mana casting."

Actually, I originally created this a long time back for plot purposes. At the time of course I thought it was a neat idea. Now I think it's really dumb. I'm all open for people making it not-suck. :Z --Dia 15:57, 4 April 2007 (PDT)
