Clothing
Different types of clothing all have a base cost that may be modified based on size, types of cloth used, quality, style and various forms of decoration.
Decorations and Style
The following modifiers are added to the base price listed for each garment type. If multiple modifications are applied, add the modifiers together for the final modifier value that will be used. For example, adding beads, buckles, fur-trim and dye to a garment would break down like this: x10 (bead) + x10 (buckle) + 1.5 (dye) + 1.5 (fur-trim) = x 23. Thus whatever garment type was chosen to be modified would have its base value multiplied by 23 to get the final cost of the item. So, a linen shirt with a base cost of 1 sm modified in such a manner would cost 23 sm or 2 gm and 3 sm.
Beaded or Buttoned | x 10 | Bells, Simple This includes adding bells made from simple metals such as iron, copper, steel, etc. | x 10 | Bells, Fine This includes adding bells made from metals such as silver, gold or other precious metals. | x 20 |

Basketweaving
There are a number of tools and materials used in the making of baskets and similar woven items. Baskets can be woven from wood, grass, straw, animal hair, animal hides and just about any material suitable for weaving. Listed below are some of the materials and tools used in basketweaving. The base cost of baskets are listed by size (small, medium and large). Basket quality is listed as simple, common, elaborate and fine with their listed cost being a modifier to the base basket cost. For example, a small basket costs 5 cm. A small, elaborate quality basket would cost 5 cm x 1.5 rounded up for a total of 8 cm. One could further modify a basket with different materials. So our small, elaborate basket could be made of Birch wood (x 1.5 modifier) to get a small, elaborate quality birchwood basket for a total of (8 x 1.5) 12 cm.

Magecraft Tools
This is a list of the primary tools used in the art of Magecraft. While the materials needed to create said items can be purchased from the appropriate merchants, the items as they are below may only be crafted by a magesmith and/or purchased from one. These items may also be purchased as part of a Magical Laboratory specialized for Magecraft. See the section on Structures for more details.
These items are magecrafted items with an MC less than 1. This means that they are only useful in the magecrafting process and have no other use outside of that discipline. This also means that their cost is also much less so when compared to magecrafted items of MC 1.
While a magecrafter may purchase the following tools from another, they usually end up making their own as part of their initial studies as magecrafting is not a “Teach-Yourself or Do-It-Yourself” discipline or they use those of their mentors. The magecraft process requires all of the following items.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Optical Ring This device is composed of 1 inch thick, 2 inch tall, 3 foot diameter ring made of cold iron banded in copper. Attached to the ring are half-a-dozen adjustable clamps with settings in the top where lenses and mirrors can be put in place. There are three lenses and three mirrors that are set into the clamps. These optical tools are able to be positioned at varying points around the ring, at varying heights and angles to allow for the most optimized point for which to view an item to be magecrafted. The ring itself is not magecrafted however the materials it is made of work together to contain the djed manipulated in the center of the ring. | 100 gm | Magecraft Lens These lenses are simple magecrafted items possessing an MC below 1. They are essentially specially cut pieces of glass similar to those used in spyglasses. They are 3 inches in diameter and cloudy in color. When used by a magesmith as a part of the Optical Ring, the lens focuses the aura of an item being magecrafted so that the magesmith can see and monitor it. The lenses are useful only in 3’s and effective only when placed at just the right angle when viewing an item within the Optical Ring. | 100 gm for 3 | Magecraft Mirror These mirrors are simple magecrafted items possessing an MC below 1. They are only useful in 3’s and are cut to different sizes; 3 square inches, 6 square inches and 9 square inches. The mirrors help to focus and contain the djed within the confines of the Optical Ring. They are positioned between the three lenses on the Ring. | 100 gm for 3 |
Magecraft Hammer While there are a number of different-sized hammers used in magecraft, they all serve effectively the same purpose. The Magecraft Hammer is a magecrafted item possessing an MC below 1. It charged with djed so that when it is used to hit an item to be magecrafted, the hammer opens up a new magical pathway within the item. By tapping the item at various points, the hammer is able to create a pattern of magical pathways within an item. This djed pattern grants the item its magical properties once the magecrafting process is complete. A typical set of Magecraft Hammers includes 6 different sized hammers from small enough to be used with a forefinger and thumb up to the size of a typical forge hammer. | 200 gm/set | Magecraft Tongs These tongs are simple magecrafted items possessing an MC below 1. They are charged with djed so that they can be used to hold an item to be magecrafted without disrupting the item’s aura and damaging the magical pathways within the item prior to completing the magecrafting process. A typical set of Magecraft Tongs includes 6 different sized tongs from small enough to hold the outer rim of a miza to large enough to hold an object the size of an average human’s head. | 150 gm/set | Magecraft Pedistal This pedestal is typically 3-4 feet tall and 3 feet in diameter. It can be made from many different types of stone and take a number of forms although the primary dimensions of the round upper slab is universal. While some crafters glyph their pedestals, this is not always necessary. The only required glyph, a glyph known to all magesmith regardless of their knowledge of glyphing, is the one carved in the center of the upper slab that helps contain the djed being manipulated in the magecrafting process. The cost of the pedestal can vary depending on the type of stone used. | 100 gm-500 gm |
Charge Basin A charge basin can be of any size needed to hold a finished magecraft item. The basin itself is a simple magecrafted item with an MC less than 1. It is basically a wooden basin with a simple magecraft glyph etched in the interior bottom that charges the water filling it. The charged water allows for magecrafted items to cool-down and solidify the magical pathways and patterns within the item itself. A typical magecraft lab may contain a number of different sized basins. | 25 gm each |

Pipeweeds
Pipe-weeds and the other listed aromatic herbs and spices that can be smoked are also available as snuff, a dried powder taken by sniffing with the nose or tucking into the lower lip.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Cyphrian Tobacco This is by far the most popular tobacco type. It is mild enough to be smoked by people with a wide range of tastes and has the highest level of natural sugar, which gives it a light sweet taste. | 1 sm/oz | Calisye This smoking blend can be made from any sort of pipe-weeds, usually the cheapest if possible. The base weed, or mix of weeds, is treated until the natural tastes are almost gone. Then flavorings called 'castings' are added to the mix. This mix is a blend of sugar and a concentrated flavors made from fruit or alcohol that give this blend a unique taste. | 2 sm/oz | Dark Ba'tae These tobacco plants are very mature and developed at the time of picking, and the leaf is subjected to a double-fermentation process. The smoke is still very sweet, but with a full bodied flavor. | 2 sm/oz |
Sallowbell Tobacco This tobacco is the next most popular tobacco. It contains almost no sugar, which gives a much dryer and full aroma than Dark Ba'tae. Sallowbell is used in many aromatic blends because it absorbs the flavorings well without detracting too much from the new flavor. Sallowbell tobacco burns slowly and is a cool smoke, which makes it a nice addition to blends that tend to burn fast and strong. | 8 cm/oz | Kline A dark-black weed with a strong aroma. Common characteristic to describe Kline are dusty, dry and sometimes slightly sourish. In the times before the Valterrian, this was a more commonly smoked weed. | 5 cm/oz | Syliran Tobacco Syliran Tobacco is the result of a curing process involving heat-curing the leaves with controlled blazes of aromatic woods and fragrant herbs. After the leaves are harvested and dried, they are hung in tightly closed barns and smoke-cured. Small smouldering fires of oak and pine fill the barn with smoke, covering the leaves with aromatic smoke particles. | 3 sm/oz |
Swamp Weed Swamp Weed is a bright red pipe-weed, grown and processed in areas where flooding is common, mostly near rice fields and muddy rivers. Swamp Weed is a rare, slow burning, strong-tasting weed that is best blended with other, lighter weeds. Swamp Weed is cured like Sallowbell Tobacco, but for a shorter time. Thereafter, the leaves are put in large oak barrels or in cypress logs under heavy pressure, which will squeeze some juice out and make the whole mass ferment. The whole process takes at least one full year, so production is light, making its market value quite high. | 1 gm/oz | Sywart This weeds adds a fine flavor to food, ale, and smoke. It is rumored to bring vivid dreams, and sometimes even prophetic visions of future events although there is no solid proof of this. | 5 cm/oz | Blue Vision These blue water-flowers are not only noted for their delightful perfume, but also for bringing euphoria, awareness of self, and tranquility when smoked. | 2 sm/oz |
Vayt's Ruse Tasty yellow petals with a smooth, sweet smoke. These flowers grow on a vine related to the poisonous Englehorn Vine, and many thought the Vayt's Ruse was equally as deadly. After it was discovered that some nomadic tribes were using the dried flowers as a cooking herb, that myth soon vanished. | 5 cm/oz | Tevino This is not a single pipe-weed, rather a blend of various spices and herbs that are used in small amounts to create an interesting additive to other blends. Every region where smoking is commonplace has it's own Tevino blends, generally named for the one who invented the blend or the region itself. | 5 cm/oz |
Waterpipes
A waterpipe consists of a long stem and a jar of liquid. As the smoker draws air through the stem, the smoke is sucked through the liquid in order to cool the smoke, and sometimes to flavor it. The smoke is noticeably cooler than one finds with normal pipe smoke, and lightly intoxicating. The liquid in the jar quickly turns brown, so many smokers believe the liquid is also filtering out harmful substances that they would otherwise be inhaling. Simple waterpipes are made of polished woods and clay, while more respectable types are made of brass. You can also find more elegant ones made from decorated porcelain or precious metals.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Metal Mouthpiece The mouthpiece on a waterpipe is removable, so more than one person can use the same pipe and still remain sanitary. | 1 gm | Metal Pipe | 20 gm | Clay Pipe | 12 gm |
Traveler's Pipe This small pipe is designed to be light and easily carried by a traveler who wishes to enjoy his smoke on the road. | 40 gm | Wood Pipe | 14 gm |

Animals
The listed prices for the following animals does not include extensive training other than what is noted in the name. For example, a companion dog would have basic training such that it would not attack its master. A riding dog would be trained to carry individuals of appropriate size. A hunting dog would be trained to hunt and retrieve while a war dog would be trained to perhaps wear light armor and attack on command. It may be assumed that other types of animals come with the most basic of training to allow it to be purchased without attacking its owner or running away (at least not immediately). They will be trained enough to do duties common to that animal.
More extensive training is available but the cost of the animal increases by twice its listed price (Unless Noted Otherwise). Note however that some things are just not possible for certain animals. For example, a duck simply can't be trained to steal for you nor can a chicken be trained to carry your gear around. All training is relative to the animal to be trained. If you are unsure, ask a Storyteller for assistance. Also, not all animal merchants will offer such highly trained animals, again speak with a Storyteller for details. What does more extensive training entail? Highly reduced fight or flight instincts making the animal more reliable in stressful situations, a wider selection of tricks and learned commands (based on animal natural intelligence) and more noticeable personality.

Snakes
Snakes in Mizahar come in two main types, venomous and non-venomous. Non-venomous snakes are quite common and come in many different sizes, colors and patterns. The majority of non-venomous snakes are considered to be of a single breed known as the Common Sikuva. While the appearance and actual names used for the Sikuva may vary by region, city, race and culture, the Sikuva is still descended from a single species of non-venomous snake. Venomous snakes and constrictors are classified differently with various breeds of venomous snake and constrictor in existence.
When it comes to sales and purchase, sizes are almost always small to medium as keeping large snakes for sale is not only dangerous but also expensive to feed. Venomous snakes are not easily found for sale on the open market in most locales thus they are hard to find for sale with some being even rarer than others. Non-venomous general refers to snakes without venom or without enough of it to be dangerous to the average adult human; these are the Sikuva.
The following listing of snakes includes those that may be found for sale in various regions across Mizahar. This list is by no means meant to detail every type of snake living in Mizahar.
Prices are listed as Young/Adult gm
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Sikuva The Common Sikuva varies in size from six inches to six feet. They are non-venomous and come in all manner of color and patterns although the shades are always some variation of brown, gray or black with combinations as well. They feed on insects and/or small animals and are generally considered mostly harmless to the average adult humanoid. Prices may vary by size with smaller snakes costing less than larger ones | 5-10/10-20 gm | Anaconda One of the heaviest snakes alive, the anaconda has an extremely thick body with a relatively small head.

They are a constrictor snake that kills by crushing their prey before swallowing them whole. They are found in tropical regions of Mizahar and are almost never found for sale outside of tropical areas. | 10/100 gm | Boa Constrictor A large snake with a narrow, pointed head. Its colors range from black to dark green, pinkish or even silver-gray. There are dark saddle markings along its back and it has a clear scale covering its eyes so that even when asleep it looks like it's awake. An adult averages 3 1/4-13 feet and weighs 30-60 lbs.

They are extremely rare to find for sale in tropical regions and impossible to found elsewhere. Their venom is deadly and is a neurotoxin and cardiotoxin. The venom from a single bite is deadly enough to kill even the mighty Jamoura. The venom causes paralysis, tightening of the chest muscles, blurred vision, confusion and overall discomfort. Death from respiratory failure will occur in 7-15 hours. Quick antivenom can increase survival from a bite to 99%. | 50/500 gm | Bushmaster The longest type of venomous snake, it has a thick body with yellow or tan skin and a series of large, bold, dark brown or black blotches along its body. The scales are rough and their fangs are rather long; reaching up to 1.5 inches. They are mainly active at night and detect their prey through infrared. An adult ranges in lengths of 7-12 feet and weighs between 10-13 lbs. Their poison is a hemotoxin which causes internal bleeding.

It causes pain, swelling, paralysis, unconsciousness and death in the absence of an antivenom. | 30/300 gm | Copperhead A medium-sized thin bodied venomous snake with a red, copper-colored head. Its colors are pinkish to gray-brown with a dark-brown hourglass pattern on the body. They are not aggressive and usually avoid contact with humanoids. They are usually found in temperate and sometimes tropical climates in forests, grasslands and some urban areas. Their venom is not very strong in that it is usually unable to kill healthy adult humans. It does cause great pain, swelling and nausea but usually does not require antivenom. These snakes are somewhat rare to find for sale but are more common than most other venomous snakes. | 10/100 gm | Coral Snake A brightly colored, small headed snake with smooth scales and bright red, white, yellow and black bands along its thin body. While there are many different types of coral snake, they are all more or less similar to one another. Adults range in length from 23-35 inches and weigh between eight inches to one pound. They are usually found in tropical to subtropical forests. Their venom is a neurotoxin that is painless at first but brings on slow paralysis and labored breathing. Antitoxin can reduce and ultimately eliminate these symptoms. Coral snakes are relatively common when sold in regions they are adapted to and are somewhat uncommon elsewhere. | 10/30 gm |
Cotton Mouth A medium-sized snake with dark olive or black coloring that is paler on the belly. Their head is thick and broader than the neck with their head covered in large plate-like scales.

The adult ranges from 20-74 inches in length and weighs 3-10 lbs. They may be found for sale in regions they are adapted to and are somewhat uncommon elsewhere. Their venom is a hemotoxin that causes extensive tissue damage around the bite area and extensive bleeding. Antitoxin can reduce the pain and bleeding while stopping further tissue damage. | 20/50 gm | Rattlesnake Large, heavy-bodied snakes that can be gray, brown or green in color. They have lighter broad diamond-shaped markings along their bodies. Their tails end in a segmented rattle that they use to sound a warning to enemies.

Included are other symptoms such as excessive salivation, thirst, swollen eyelids, blurred vision, spasms and unconsciousness. Death occurs within 1.5 hours of being bitten and even with quick use of antivenom, the victim will require significant recovery time and amputation of affected limbs is still quite common afterwards. | 40-400 gm | Isurian Python This large, thick-bodied constrictor snake is found only in the subterranean areas of Kalea and are rare outside of captivity. They are pale in color ranging from white to light gray and are blind.

They are rather slow however, moving at around 1 mile per hour. They are found for sale by a few select merchants among the isur and even then only in the underground isur cities. They are impossible to find anywhere else. Unlike their above-ground counterparts, the isurian python possesses a mild necrotoxin that kills the flesh around the bite area and causes it to soften for easier digestion. It is not fatal to healthy humans but is extremely painful and can result in amputation even after the use of antivenom. Those few who live outside of captivity prey on subterranean rodents. | 50-500 gm |
Pygmy Viper A tiny, thin-bodies snake with solid black coloring and a pale white belly, the Pygmy viper is the smallest known snake. Adults range in length of 3-6 inches and weigh only a few ounces.

They are popular with assassins and others delving into more unsavory professions. They are venomous with their venom serving as a strong neurotoxin. A single bite from the pygmy viper can cause labored breathing followed by fast-acting paralysis and if not treated with antitoxin, death can follow in roughly a hour after. | 60-600 gm |
Snakes: Venom
Snake venom can be collected from snakes for use by poisoncrafters. To collect snake venom and/or craft antivenom, one must possess at least an L1 in Animal Husbandry and an L1 in Poisoncrafting with more deadly types of venom requiring higher skill levels. Even then, if collecting from a live specimen, chances of getting bit with only the minimum requirements are VERY high. Antivenom costs the same as the actual venom.

Travel Costs/Expenses
Travel in and around Mizahar brings with it a number of different requirements, concerns and difficulties. For a more complete informational breakdown on travel, see Travel times.
In general, there are four things one must account for when preparing for a long journey between cities; Mode of Transport, Food, Water, Shelter. One can accomplish this by either starting play with the Roaming Wanderer housing package or purchasing the items included in the package before undertaking the journey. Also, one can book passage with others when traveling by land or by sea.
When traveling alone, one must account for the initial cost of materials/supplies that will be needed for the journey. As mentioned, with the appropriate skills included, one can travel on their own over land by starting play with the Roaming Wanderer housing package OR purchasing later the items included in that package. They are as follows:
(1 large tent (4 person), large tarp, 100 ft of rope, flint & steel, lantern, 2 torches, bedroll, blanket, fishing tackle & hooks, a compass, a riding horse, a full set of tack, and a large set of saddlebags. See Horses for the breed of mount you want to pick. However, keep your horse value right around 200 gm or less, which excludes Sungolds and Tiaden Warhorses.) This package, along with the basic items all characters begin play with, will give the simple necessities required for extended travel. In addition to this, you would need to purchase enough rations to cover the length of the journey (30 days of travel = 30 days of rations) or have the Hunting and/or Wilderness Survival Skill to find your own food along the way.
When traveling by sea, Svefra characters have an option for a starting package available to them. Rather than a home or tent/horse package, they can indeed start with a small casinor and its equipment. Ships don't automatically come with a mounted harpoon. Harpoons for casinors cost 50 GM extra and can fire 160 feet. Bolts cost 1 GM for a bundle of 10 bolts. These are equivalent to a heavy crossbow mounted to the bow with a rope attached. These ropes can drag smaller ships under if a large sea creature is harpooned. These characters must still purchase any extra food and/or water for their journey or employ skills such as Wilderness Survival and Hunting/Fishing and the like.
Again, see Travel times for more information including requirements, limitations and other essential information.
There are three different types of costs that may be assigned to modes of transport they are:
Fares: This is the least expensive means of getting from one place to another if it is available. Basically, you reserve a spot in/on a specific mode of transportation that is already on its way to your chosen destination. This is different from Chartering which involves paying for someone else to take you wherever you want to go. The costs are usually far less than Charter but you have less control over where you go.
Charter: Chartered transport involves a person paying for the entire trip for however many days it takes. This includes paying for the crew and/or driver's time. This is normally only available for travel done on established trade-routes/roads either by land or sea. Usually, the more people taking part in this type of travel the more you can offset the cost by dividing it up. Once the terms are agreed to and the costs are paid, one is usually free to bring as many passengers or as much cargo as the mode of transport can carry. Charter travel cost is more expensive by the day and especially difficult or dangerous trips may cost extra (double or triple) This is usually only available via certain established merchants. The benefit is the lack of size limitations of cargo and persons once the cost has been paid.
Cargo: Some modes of transportation require extra costs to be paid for carrying of cargo. This is basically the cost to ship goods via trade-routes/roads. These costs do not include handling beyond loading and unloading. If you are not traveling with the cargo, you must arrange for someone else to pick it up ahead of time on the other end. Note that horses or other living cargo that is transported via ship must be fed and watered just like a passenger. Thus any animals, each and every one of them, must be paid for as if they were a passenger. For example, a person and their horse traveling via ship would pay double the listed cost.
Self: If traveling by one's own mode of transport, the costs include the purchase of the mode of transport as well as any and all supply requirements for the journey.
Below is a listing of various modes of transport which includes costs per day of travel. The listed cost (that which is listed separately from the transport description) is the most common cost available.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Caravan A caravan is a slow-moving collection of coaches, wagons and horses/beast-of-burden. The caravan sacrifices speed for protection in the form of an additional 10 days added to listed travel times unless otherwise noted. Cargo Cost: 2 sm/day/200 lbs, Charter: 5 gm/day (where available) | 1 gm/day (Fare) | Coach Coaches or carriages, are pulled by four horses and usually only travel from one city to the next nearest city. They are usually chartered though occasionally one can pay a fare to reserve a spot on a coach already traveling for other purposes. Cargo Cost: 5 sm/day/100 lbs. Fare: 3 gm/day | 10 gm/day (Charter) | Sailing Vessel Sailing vessels travel all across Mizahar's waterways. They are the most available mode of transport and overall least expensive. Fare is the most common though Charter is also a little less common. Cargo Cost: 1 sm/day/100 lbs, Charter: 4 gm/day | 1 gm/day (Fare) |
Sailing Vessel, Special) If one is able to convince a ship captain to travel outside of established sea routes, the cost is significantly higher than normal. Only Charter is available. Cargo Cost: 1 gm/day/100 lbs | 10 gm/day (Charter) |

The side arms can be extended and retracted by pulling a lever on the other end, providing an instant ladder wherever needed. | 60 gm | Firebox A simple cube of iron plates with a bellows on the back and an open front. Coal is burnt inside the box and the open side of the box is placed as close to a rock face as possible. The heat from the fire cracks the stone, allowing miners to complete their work more quickly. | 100 gm | Fungal Rations These come in a small cube (six inches on a side), which contains a mulch of various types of mushroom and other organic bits, covered with a wool screen. On top of the screen, a dozen or more edible hybrid mushrooms grow, feeding on the material below the screen. The edible mushrooms will continue to grow at a regular rate, providing enough food for a single person each day, as long as the mulch is replenished on a regular basis. | 50 gm |
Gas Finder This cylindrical device contains an oil-fed flame, which draws air through a one-way valve on the bottom and expels smoke and fumes through another one-way valve at the top. A strand of waxed hair is strung through the cylinder far enough above the flame to avoid burning under normal conditions. If a dangerously explosive gas enters the gas finder, however, the flame will burn through the hair, causing both valves to slam shut to prevent an explosion. | 200 gm | Giantspars Massive caltrops made from a wooden core and large, metal spikes, giantspars are useful for slowing the progress of large creatures in cavernous settings. | 80 gm | Lye, Scouring This scouring solution made of lye and alcohol helps remove build-up of silt and sediment from tools and surfaces. | 5 gm |

It is roughly one foot in diameter and height, with a flip-top lid and a crank handle. After stones are placed in it and the lid clamped into place, the handle is turned. This rotates a number of grinding wheels inside, using gears to maximize the available force, crushing the rocks thoroughly. A pound of rocks can be ground to a gritty powder in an hour. | 200 gm |
Sounding Drums (Pair) These deep bass drums are played with hammers, using certain simple codes to send messages to a distance of over a mile underground. | 80 gm | Sifting Pan After rocks are crushed, the remains are thoroughly washed in this pan, where the grooves and ridges around the edges capture heavier pieces (particularly metals and gems) while allowing the dirt and other impurities to wash away. | 20 gm | Slide Grease Composed of mushrooms, minerals and a bit of some stinking oil distilled from coal, slide grease is an extremely slick substance used by miners to assist in moving large chunks of rock. | 25 gm |

Jewelry (without stones)
Prices are copper/silver/gold. Other materials may be used for the creation of jewelry; the most common being bone. The prices of bone jewelry vary depending on the species of creature the bone comes from. The most common bone jewelry is made from the bones of deer, rabbits, wolf or bear as well as other common forms of wildlife. Another example of animal parts used in jewelry are feathers. Common birds such as chickens, ravens and other game birds fall in line with bone material as far as cost. Such items cost, on average, half that of copper.
When considering piercings for parts of the body other than earrings, use the prices listed for earrings.

Land and Buildings
Structures
Structures in Mizahar are a unique entity in themselves. Those wishing to purchase or build their own structures can choose from a list of various types of rooms complete with varying qualities and contents. Each of these individual structural components are listed below along with descriptions, prices, and basic square footage. These structural components can be purchased multiple times in order to increase the structure area and components may be added together to form complex buildings with numerous uses. Each component comes with basic to elaborate furnishings depending on the nature of the component. In addition to the structural components, walls for the structure have their own separate costs. The Building Materials section details the cost per square foot for different types of materials. It is important to note that if a structure is only one level, the cost for building materials is included in the component cost. Otherwise, for each additional level, wall costs must be figured for the total square footage of each one beyond ground level. The same is true for underground levels as well. Special Note: Constructing or purchasing buildings with multiple components and doing so all at once (does not include later add-ons) grants a 25% cost reduction to the total cost. Thus if one were to want a common cottage (500 gm) with a simple bath (200 gm), the final cost would be 700 - 25% (175) = 525 gm
Quality: Structures can vary in quality of construction. Newly built structures follow the prices in the price list. Used structures or those of inferior craftsmanship can be purchased at reduced cost. It is important to note that Used structures are not New. When purchased, they do not benefit from the discount given for purchasing multiple components at one time like new structures. The quality of used structures is also up in the air and can be anywhere from like-new to barely-standing.
Used Structures - 25% off total cost regardless of condition
Structures may also be purchase at a lower quality of construction. While this can provide a rather sizable discount, such structures are prone to severe structural defects such as leaky roofs, unstable and/or drafty walls and windows among other things. The number of low quality structures in Mizahar is quite high and said structures are more common than not. In order to purchase low quality structures, one must have storyteller approval. Also, do not be surprised encounter difficulties with such a structure that requires in-thread attention. Again, these are often thrown together with whatever shoddy materials are available at the time. They are not pretty yet they are functional, barely. Note that only simple components can be purchased for low quality structures. Said structures may be improved in-thread but may never contain components greater than elaborate.
Low Quality Structures - 50% discount to total cost

Construction Materials
As mentioned in the Structure section, walls for a structure must be purchased separately for each floor above or below the ground level. Free-standing walls are also separate purchases with wall sections normally priced per 10' x 10' section. Prices are listed below.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Masonry | 2 gm/sq.ft. | Stone | 4 gm/sq.ft. | Wood | 1 gm/sq.ft. |
Suvan Cement An ancient mixture of crushed stone, gypsum, volcanic dust and lime, this combination of materials, when mixed with saltwater, becomes quite durable and extremely resistant to the elements. It is useful not only in structures but also sculptures and adornments. Somewhat uncommon in Post-Valterrian times. | 5 gm/sq.ft. | Free-Standing Masonry | 125 gm/section | Free-Standing Stone | 300 gm/section |
Free-Standing Wood | 50 gm/section | Free-Standing Suvan Cement | 450 gm/section |
Land Value
Land value is determined based on the desirability of the terrain. For example, an acre of land in a city will cost much more than an acre of land in the desert. The listed values are mainly used when purchasing land from a settlement or whoever may own the land in question. It is also used when selling land to someone else. These are basic values that may very somewhat depending on the person or group selling it. Land not owned by anyone may be claimed by someone although they may have to defend their claim from barbarians, monsters, invading forces or some other opposition. With this in mind, it is best to claim amounts of land that are proportional to your ability to defend. It does no good to claim 100 acres of land if you can only realistically defend 1 acre. Note that the listed terrain and prices are for unimproved land. Improvements add to the cost and value; see individual land types for more details. A good example of add-on land is the Syka Jungle/Beach situation whereas you start with 900 gm per acre and add on Waterfront for 300 gm making the total to buy beachfront in Syka 1200 gm per acre.

Desert This terrain offers the least number of options for improvements. Farming is virtually impossible and water is usually so deep underground that it too is unavailable. While land in the desert can be fenced, that is about the only real improvement possible aside from actual structures. Fencing in the desert adds 25 gm/acre. Landscaping is difficult if not impossible though with enough water, potted plants and the like can be had and add around 10-25 gm to the cost. To turn desert land into usable farmland increases the cost to 1,000 gm/acre. | 100 gm/acre | Mountains This terrain offers slightly more options for improvements although few would choose to live in the mountains save for perhaps an Isur. The land is rocky and difficult if not impossible to farm save for a few flat spaces here and there. Travel is hindered although water is often available from streams and mountain lakes. Fencing off land in the mountains is possible though difficult do to the presence of rock. Fencing adds 50 gm/acre though most divisions of land are done with stone walls. Landscaping is possible and usually adds between 25-50 gm/acre to the price depending on the level of landscaping done. Turning land in the mountains to usable farmland increases the cost to 500 gm/acre. | 150 gm/acre | Underground This terrain offers better options for improvements than mountains or deserts but less than other surface terrain. Water is usually easy to find underground and farming of various molds, fungus and lichen are possible. There is usually little need for fencing due to the already confined space though stone walls are still quite common. Landscaping is quite difficult save for stone carvings as few plants can survive for any length of time without sunlight. Turning land underground into usable farmland for molds and such increases the cost to 400 gm/acre. | 200 gm/acre |
Marsh This terrain, while more habitable than some others, can be quite dangerous. Disease, dangerous animals and stifling climate can turn many off to this type of land. It is however easy to find water; though not always healthy for humanoid consumption. Farming of certain types of plants is possible especially mosses, mushrooms and various other types of fungus. Fencing however is very difficult due to the swampy conditions and adds 100 gm/acre to the cost. Landscaping is slightly easier than it is in some terrain types although the humid conditions limit the life of most landscaping projects; add 25-50 gm/acre. Turning land in the marsh into usable farmland for mosses and fungus increases the cost to 400 gm/acre. | 300 gm/acre | Hills This terrain is one of the more desirable due to the increased availability of water and greater farming possibilities. Fencing is much easier than it is in rougher terrains as is landscaping. Fencing land in the hills adds 10 gm/acre while landscaping adds 10-20 gm/acre. Turning land in the hills into usable farmland increases the cost to 550 gm/acre. | 500 gm/acre | Forest This terrain is popular among many different people due to the increased availability of water and the natural landscaping opportunities. Fencing the land is difficult however as is turning the land into usable farmland. However, the availability of ready lumber offsets the cost involved in modifying this type of terrain. Landscaping adds 5-10 gm/acre while fencing adds 20 gm/acre. Creating usable farmland increases the cost to 700 gm/acre after the offset created by the lumber. | 600 gm/acre |
Plains This terrain is the most sought after of undeveloped land. There is usually a nearby water source or underground water close enough to the surface to provide a good supply. Landscaping is easy as is fencing. Turning this type of land into usable farmland is competitively simple and increases the cost to 750 gm/acre. Landscaping costs between 1-10 gm/acre and fencing adds 5 gm/acre. | 700 gm/acre | Farmland This terrain is second in value only to developed city land. It is land that has already been worked and transformed to best grow crops. Landscaping true farmland is usually not done though water is often readily available. Fencing adds 5 gm/acre. Most ready farmland is owned by merchants, local governments or other wealthy individuals and is worked by those allowed to live on the farm. | 800 gm/acre | City This terrain is the most expensive type available. It however offers the best availability of water and landscaping opportunities and is easily divided with walls or fences. It is not normally turned into farmland although personal gardens are common and are covered under landscaping. The common city land parcel is less than a quarter of an acre and is valued at 100 gm. From there, 1/4 acre costs 250 gm, half-acre costs 500 gm. Landscaping, including but not limited to the addition of a garden adds 1-50+ gm to the cost while fencing is usually included in the purchase of a city lot. | 1,000 gm/acre |
Jungle This terrain is some of the most dangerous. Found in Falnydar normally around Taloba, Zinrah, and Syka. This land is incredibly diverse and rich with life. Terrain varies depending upon location. It can hold much valuable food and timber resources. | 900 gm/acre | Waterfront This terrain is an add-on situation. You must buy the land in the type that is surrounding the beach (ie mountains, city, forest, jungle), and then to get beach access you need to add the beach adjustment for having waterfront property. This goes for ocean or river or lake additions. | 300 gm/acre |
Build Yourself
There is alternative to purchasing buildings and structures in the form of building your own. While land must still be purchased or claimed, it is completely feasible for a PC to build their own structures as long as they have the skills to do so. There are a number of skills that are useful and even essential to building your own structures. The listed skills will allow various benefits depending on the level possessed in each skill. L1 however is considered Primitive in that structures built at L1 are less than Simple quality ones. Primitive elements or structures are not trustworthy and will not hold up an entire season without regular maintenance every few days. Nobody is going to successfully construct a structure with a single L1 structural-related skill. Even with multiple L1 skills, one is not going to be able to build a luxurious structure but they will be able to find a number of benefits. Skills benefits stack and combine so that the more structural-related skills you have and the higher their levels, the greater your structures will be. Listed bonuses and discounts do not stack with other discounts.
Skills
Each listed skill will detail benefits based on level. (L1, L2, L3, L4)
Architecture Knowledge of design concepts that determines or increases the quality of structures based on level. L1 - Primitive Quality, L2 - Simple Quality, L3 - Elaborate Quality, L4 - Luxurious Quality
Carpentry Working with wood on a structural level. L1 - Wooden structures require daily maintenance. 10% discount to the cost of building wood structures. L2 - Wooden structures require seasonal maintenance. 20% discount to the cost of building wood structures. L3 - Wooden structures require yearly maintenance. 30% discount to the cost of building wood structures. L4 - Wooden structures require no maintenance. 40% discount to the cost of building wood structures.
Construction The process of building structures; determines time needed to construct. L1 - 100 sq.ft./day. L2 - 200 sq.ft./day. L3 - 400 sq.ft./day. L4 - 500 sq.ft./day.
Masonry Working with brick and stone on a structural level. L1 - Stone structures require daily maintenance. 10% discount to the cost of building stone structures. L2 - Stone structures require seasonal maintenance. 20% discount to the cost of building stone structures. L3 - Stone structures require yearly maintenance. 30% discount to the cost of building stone structures. L4 - Stone structures require no maintenance. 40% discount to the cost of building stone structures.
While there are many other skills that can benefit the construction of structures, the above skills represent the core skills needed for building.
Magic and Gnosis
Magic and Gnosis add a rather potent element to the construction of structures. Most prominently among these are Reimancy and Izentor. Reimancy, specifically Earth Reimancy, can be used to speed up and customize construction in ways that more mundane methods cannot achieve. Izentor, the Gnosis of Izurdin, increases the strength and integrity of structures beyond what is otherwise possible without it. A new level of Quality is introduced with the use of magic; Artifact Quality. Artifact Quality is almost unheard of in Post-Mizahar existence. These structures are infused with such concentrated Djed that they resist all elements, both mundane and magical and cannot be damaged short of divine intervention.
An L1 in a mundane building skill is required to use these skills.
Reimancy allows for no-cost building limited to the quality allowed by the level. Basically, using Reimancy eliminates the material cost of construction. Building only requires thread work.
Izentor has a cost of time and drain upon one's soul, mental and physical capacity.
Reimancy Earth Reimancy can create amazing structures limited only by imagination...and skill. L1 - Starting Simple Quality with Stone. L2 - Starting Elaborate Quality with Stone. L3 - Starting Luxurious Quality with Stone. L4 - Artifact Quality with Stone.
Izentor Izentor imparts a piece of the builder's soul upon the structure. General look and cosmetic quality is influenced by mundane skills. L1 - Structure is virtually indestructible. L2 - Structure has a quality imparted equal to L2 Izentor. L3 - Structure has magical qualities equal to L3 Izentor. L4 - Structure has magical qualities equal to L4 Izentor.

Ships
Ships (base cost)
The following list contains the classes of ships and sailing vessels most commonly found in Mizahar. The listed costs for the ships are their base price minus any modifications or additions. Though several ships of one class may share similar characteristics, they are usually quite different from one another; tailored to the owner and/or captain and crew. Most shipyards require four to five months to construct a 50 ton ship or larger. Ships smaller than that down to 25 tons take two to three months while anything smaller than that takes between one week and one month. Note that only ships of 50 tons are larger support mounts for adding weapons and specialized components. Mounts allow a ship to equip weapons or larger more specialized systems. Note that ships tagged for specific factions/races/etc., such as the Svefra, are normally only available to those specific groups.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Rowboat A small, simple rowboat, found almost anywhere there are people and water. These boats are propelled by a single set of oars. Crew: 1, Passengers: 3 | 100 gm | Ship's Boat This is the generic type of boat kept as back-up or utility vessels on larger sailing ships. They are used for boarding parties and landings. There is room for up to a dozen individuals, and a ton of cargo, although for each person left off, an additional ton of cargo can be carried. The ships boat can be operated by a single person, but normally there are 4 oarsmen operating two sets of oars, and a single pilot at the rudder. Crew: 1-5, Passengers: 7 | 300 gm | Casinor (Svefra) A small, personal ship no longer than 30 feet with a single cabin. More than twice the size of the average rowboat, this ship is capable of traversing inland seas and coastal areas though it is unequipped to travel on the open ocean. The most common personal ship found among the Svefra. These ships are often found employing heavy harpoons for defense. Much of the free space on the ship has been converted into living quarters thus cargo is limited to 500 lbs. While it may carry a number of passengers, these boats are designed for a single person spending extended periods at sea. Crew: 1, Passengers: 5 | 500 gm |
Catamaran A small, multihulled vessel consisting of two parallel hulls of equal size connected by a frame. These small, personal ships are roughly 30 feet in length. Though similar in overall size to the Svefra Casinor, the Catamaran is not designed for extended periods at sea (though it may be modified for such). They contain room enough for simple living quarters as well as light cargo and some simple comfort. The Catamaran is found in use by all manner of sailor for its flexibility of use and ease of customizing to fit individual needs. Crew: 1-2, Passengers: 3-5 | 1,000 gm | Barge (10 ton cargo) This is a small, flat-bottomed cargo boat, used for hauling goods and various port duties. Crew: 2, Passengers: 5 | 3,000 gm | Fishing Boat (25 ton cargo) The standard class used for several types of sailed fishing vessels. These vessels can occasionally be used as coastal trading vessels or cargo haulers as well. They are not normally armed. Crew: 8, Passengers: 7 | 7,500 gm |
Khnor (25 ton cargo) Common in Eyktol, the Khnor is able to carry passengers and cargo in it deep wide hull. It is a smaller vessel, about 54 feet long with a single large sail and ten auxiliary oars used when there is no wind. Crew: 20, Passengers: 10 | 9,000 gm | Palivar (Svefra) The most common sailing vessel found among the Svefra. A large family vessel no larger than 80 feet long with multiple cabins and living space, the Palivar is just a few feet smaller than the average Saique style merchant vessel. These ships are designed to comfortably house up to 10 individuals for extended lengths of time. It sacrifices cargo space for comfortable living quarters. It is most often found in the Suvan Sea. It supports 2 light mounts. Crew: 6, Passengers: 4 | 13,000 gm | Saique (50 ton cargo) (Mt: 2L) The Saique is a small merchant vessel, which has a mixed rigging of square and lateen sails. It possesses a large cargo hold for its size and is usually found close to the coasts. This is the most common class of merchant vessel. It supports 2 light mounts. Crew: 10, Passengers: 5 | 15,000 gm |
Kersha (60 ton cargo) (Mt: 2L) Meaning "shark" in Arumenic, the Kersha is used mostly in the South. Relying on the robust slave trade in Ahnatep, the Kersha is powered mostly by its 40 rowers and is known for it's speed. It has three levels including its deck. The rowers are kept below deck while passengers stay in cabins amidship, and cargo is stored below the rowers. It supports 2 light mounts. Crew: 50, Passengers: 20 | 20,000 gm | Sloop (80 ton cargo) (Mt: 2L) These vessels are actually primarily merchant vessels, though they are so famous for their speed and toughness that they are often used as military vessels. This makes them a prime choice of smugglers and pirates as well as well-established and legitimate merchants. The sloop supports 2 light mounts. Crew: 50, Passengers: 10 | 24,000 gm | Cromster (90 ton cargo) (Mt: 3L) A smaller version of the Galleon, the Cromster is known for its speed; it is as fast as a Sloop, although not nearly as maneuverable, but it carries more firepower. These ships are normally found in service of wealthier merchants. Supports 3 light mounts. Crew: 50, Passengers: 10 | 27,000 gm |
Brigantine (100 ton cargo) (Mt: 4L, 1H) A good-sized merchant vessel, and the most common variety used by pirates. This class of vessel is so commonly used by criminals, in fact, that the name of the class comes from the word “brigand”. Wealthy merchants also find use out of this class of vessel. Supports 4 light and one heavy mount. Crew: 120, Passengers: 50 | 30,000 gm | Navar (Svefra)(Mt: 2L, 1 H) The largest ship found among the Svefra. While indeed quite large; a scaled down version of the Galleon, the Navar is not a warship nor is it a cargo ship though it bares some elements of both. It is designed primarily to house a number of Svefra families. That said, it is still quite an impressive sight when seen sailing on the waters of the Suvan. Capable of carrying a small number of defensive weapons, the Navar is one of the largest ships found in the Suvan Sea. Most of the space within the ship is devoted to comfortable, sometimes luxurious living quarters with little room left for cargo. Baring a shallow draft, the Navar is able to to sail in shallow waters. It is not well-suited for the open ocean. It supports 2 light mounts and 1 heavy. Crew: 25, Passengers: 25 | 30,000 gm | Schooner (100 ton cargo) (Mt: 2L, 1H) Schooners are built with a shallow draft to make them more useful closer in towards islands. Their speed and ability to enter shallow coves where larger vessels founder make Schooners an ideal choice for smugglers, pirates or blockade runners. Considered to be a light military vessel. Supports 2 light and 1 heavy mount. Crew: 50, Passengers: 20 | 30,000 gm |
Fluyt (110 ton cargo) (Mt: 3L, 1H) A class of ship exclusive to the port city of Zeltiva, the Fluyt is relatively inexpensive to build and is very reliable. It is the most common vessel for wealthy merchants operating out of Zeltiva and fills the roll of medium warship and trade vessel quite well. Supports 3 light and 1 heavy mount. Crew: 100, Passengers: 20 | 33,000 gm | Pinnace (120 cargo) (Mt: 6L, 2H) A large, three-masted merchant vessel. Often used to ferry cargo across open seas due to their sturdy construction. Unfortunately, they are not very maneuverable when compared to Brigantines, Sloops and Schooners, yet despite that, it is the most common full-blown military vessel found in most navies. It is also found serving in the trade fleets of very wealthy merchants. Supports 6 light and 2 heavy mounts. Crew: 180, Passengers: 50 | 36,000 gm | Mizaharan (160 ton cargo) (Mt: 12L, 4H) Another product from Zeltiva, the Mizaharan is the epitome of naval dominance. It combines a large cargo capacity with sturdy construction and vast weapon potential and maneuverability. Only a small number have been built and the majority of those are found in service to the Zeltivian Navy and a couple so-called, Merchant Princes. Only Zeltiva currently possesses the knowledge and ability to build such vessels. Supports 12 light and four heavy mounts. Crew: 200, Passengers: 60 | 48,000 gm |
Galleon (400 ton cargo) (Mt: 10L, 3H) This class of vessel is the largest merchant ship in existence. Although only a handful of these mighty ships exist, they are used by Merchant Princes and the governments of coastal cities to transport goods over very long distances. Their cargo capacity and startling display of weaponry makes them the most valuable pirate target although such attempts are seen as impossible. Supports 10 light and 3 heavy mounts. Crew: 200, Passengers: 60 | 120,000 gm |
Ship Weaponry
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Ballista (Light Mount) A huge, heavy crossbow weighing around 400lbs. Mainly useful in damaging sails or enemy crew. When a bolt is lit on fire however, greater damage is possible. | 500 gm | Ballista Bolt A massive bolt loaded into a ballista; it can also be lit on fire to cause added damage and complications to an enemy vessel. Requires 1 person to operate. | 1 gm | Bombard, Light (Light Mount) An iron tube mounted on a ship, it is a relatively short and light piece designed to fire a round stone shot with small charges of powder. Capable of doing quite a bit of damage to a target although only at a short range. Requires 4 people to operate and weighs 500lbs. | 2,000 gm |
Bombard, Great (Heavy Mount) Similar to but larger than the light bombard, it fires a heavy stone ball with a modest charge of powder. Capable of doing immense damage to targets but only at a short range. Requires 8 people to operate and weighs 2,000lbs. | 8,000 gm | Catapult (Heavy Mount) Catapults hurl stones at enemies, and, because of their function, must be mounted on an open deck and require a target to be at a range of at least 100 feet to be effective. Although capable of doing a lot of damage, catapults are slow to fire and take longer to load than bombards. Requires 2 people to operate and weighs 2,000 lbs. | 550 gm | Firebomb (Bombard or Catapult Fired) It is a small cask filled with a unique mixture of alchemical substances, designed to set the target ship afire. A firebomb is about a foot in diameter and weighs 40 pounds. | 50 gm |
Harpoon, Heavy Similar in structure to a ballista, the heavy harpoon is a essentially a heavy crossbow modified to be mounted upon any size ship, including a rowboat. It fires light harpoons (barbed, sharpened poles tethered to the vessel itself) and is used mainly for fishing and limited defense. Most often found in use by the Svefra of the Suvan Sea or others who inhabit large lakes, seas or coastal areas. | 50 gm | Harpoon, Light A lightweight pole with a barbed blade attached to one end and a length of rope at the other. These harpoons are thrown by hand and not shot like the Heavy Harpoon. | 10 gm | Smoke Powder A unique type of powder that in small quantities creates a large amount of smoke. In large quantities however, it can create a small explosion. These larger quantities are used in bombards to fire the stone shot. It takes four pounds to fire a light bombard and 20 pounds to fire a heavy bombard. Amounts less than four pounds packed together will only produce smoke. | 25 gm/pound |
Stone Shot A rounded stone fired from a bombard or launched from a catapult. Light bombards use smaller stone shots than catapults or great bombards. | 2gm/light, 4gm/heavy |
Special Note Regarding Smoke Powder: Smoke Powder is NOT Black Powder. In Mizahar, smoke powder is simply a powdery residue found in various underground locales and usually discovered during mining. To date, there is no known way to reproduce this otherwise naturally occurring substance. Gathering enough smoke powder to fire a single bombard is quite a task in itself thus not only does the expense in mizas make it difficult to purchase but its overall availability also makes it hard to come by. This is why ships armed with bombards usually only carry enough smoke powder to fire light ones once or twice or a heavy one, once; requiring their use to be strategic in order to avoid needless waste. Very few merchants deal in smoke powder and those that do rarely carry more than ten or twenty pounds of it; often unable to acquire more. Even the largest mines carry only a limited amount of smoke powder and most mining operations do not choose to tackle the labor cost of collecting it as their manpower can better be used in actual mining. (Cannot be purchased as part of a starting package)
Ship Extras
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Mooring, Large (Light Mount) A special hoist and cradle designed to carry small boats on the deck of a larger ship. Most ships carry a rowboat or two stowed on deck, but a davit can accommodate a fairly large boat, and makes launching and recovering the vessel much easier. A large mooring can hold a boat up to 5 tons and requires a light mount. | 500 gm | Mooring, Huge (Heavy Mount) A special hoist and cradle designed to carry small boats on the deck of a larger ship. Most ships carry a rowboat or two stowed on deck, but a davit can accommodate a fairly large boat, and makes launching and recovering the vessel much easier. A huge mooring can hold a boat up to 25 tons and requires a heavy mount. | 1,500 gm | Diving Bell (Heavy Mount) An Zeltivian shipyard invention, the diving bell is a sturdy weighted barrel or sphere of wood and iron, fitted with several thick glass portholes. It can hold up to two people. The bell descends on a stout cable from the ship above, and can’t move horizontally—it can only ascend or descend. The bell can descend to a maximum depth of 200 feet.
The bottom can be left open to allow a diver to easily enter or exit. An open bell however can only descend to 100 feet. Comes with it's own mooring and a crude hand-powered air pump and waterproofed hose of canvas or leather to provide fresh air to the bell. It takes 2 crewmembers to work the pumps, and 4 crewmembers to operate the winch to raise or lower the bell. The bell itself weighs 1,000 pounds. Requires a heavy mount the price includes the air pump, hoist, and bell. | 7,000 gm |
Grappling Ramp (Heavy Mount) This structure is a long ramp and frame that resembles a small drawbridge. When an enemy ship is near, the grappling ramp is dropped, so that it forms a bridge to the other vessel. The top end of the grappling ramp is usually fitted with iron spikes, cleats, or grapnels so that its drop drives the ramp into the enemy vessel’s deck, holding it fast. Weighs 1,000lbs. | 500 gm | Netting, Large Designed to hinder boarders, ship’s netting consists of a sturdy net of tarred rope that is rigged 10 feet or more above the gunwales. Anyone attempting to climb over the rail or gunwale and board the ship (or attempting to leave the ship, for that matter) can’t pass through the netting, but it’s perfectly feasible to make attacks through the netting. Available to ships between 50 and 100 tons. | 50 gm | Netting, Huge Designed to hinder boarders, ship’s netting consists of a sturdy net of tarred rope that is rigged 10 feet or more above the gunwales. Anyone attempting to climb over the rail or gunwale and board the ship (or attempting to leave the ship, for that matter) can’t pass through the netting, but it’s perfectly feasible to make attacks through the netting. Available to ships between 110 and 400 tons. | 150 gm |
Skis Avanthal maintains a unique modification to sailing vessels that allow them to slide across the ice where they would otherwise sail across the waves. This modification is unique to these ships. The need for increased support and structural strength of these skis brings with them added expense. | + 15% to listed ship cost. |
Sailing Gear
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Sextant A sophisticated device used to determine a vessel’s position by measuring the angle formed by the sun or stars and the horizon. It uses mirrors and carefully graduated scales to sight a heavenly body, whose position is compared to a listing in an almanac for the day and year of measurement. | 250 gm | Grapple Pole A simple pole with a hook on the end for gripping small boats or retrieving items or people from the water. In a pinch, it can be used as a weapon. | 15 gm | Float bladder A sack of oiled hide that can be filled with air. It has a long neck that is knotted shut after filling and ropes or straps to fasten it to the wearer. Can be used to keep a person afloat. | 10 gm |
Sails Sails are essentially very large pieces of cloth that are used to capture wind in order to propel ships through the water. Price for sails depends on the size of the ship in which they are being purchased for. The cost for most ships includes sails. Purchased separately, the cost ranges averages 75 gm with a range between 50-100 gm depending on the size of the ship. | 75 gm | Swimming goggles A leather frame containing a clear piece of glass (sometimes two) made to fit tightly over the eyes allowing one increased vision underwater. | 15 gm |
Melee Weapons
Weapons with a racial tag in parentheses are exclusive to the listed race and are not for sale. Also, while some "martial-art" type weapons such as a Katana and Naginata are listed along with a small number of others, these types of weapons are not commonly found in Mizahar because that particular "real-world" culture that these weapons sprouted from, does not exist. The occurrence of some of these types of weapons evolved from specific smiths who crafted their own style throughout history; styles of which never really caught on in mainstream weaponsmithing. IMPORTANT NOTE: See Isurian Steel in the Lore for more detailed information on that material.

Bagh Nakh A claw-like weapon made to fit under or against the palm or over the knuckles. Four or five curved blades are affixed to a crossbar or glove with the weapon being used to slash through skin and muscle. Often found in use by assassins or by thieves looking for an easily concealable form of protection in their line of work. | 3 gm | Bladed Boots The blades in these boots are typically extended via a spring located in the heel and activated by pressing firmly down upon it. | 20 gm | Dagger A common weapon often used as a secondary item of offense or defense. | 2 gm |
Dagger, Assassin’s This broad-bladed dagger is designed to inflict vicious, gaping wounds that are difficult to mend. | 4 gm | Dagger, Double-Bladed Consisting of two blades mounted together upon a central hilt. | 8 gm | Dagger, Ear A thin, double-edged dagger with a pommel that resembles a human ear. | 5 gm |
Dagger, Hollow Pommel The handle of this dagger is actually a secret carrying case. On most of these daggers, the pommel’s bottom portion screws off to reveal the handle’s hollow centre, though on some the blade actually twists off. | 20 gm | Dagger, Punching This dagger puts the full force of the wielder’s punch behind it. | 2 gm | Daggers, Tamo Tamo daggers, which are always sold in pairs, are thin, stiletto blades mounted on an often elaborately-carved, thick, wooden handle. Each handle has a slot near the blade that serves as a sheath for its twin – when the blades are sheathed the handles form a sturdy club. | 20 gm |
Finger Razors Attached to a ring worn near the knuckle of any finger, this blade sits snugly between outstretched fingers where it will be hidden until needed. | 5 gm | Flametongue The flametongue has a similar blade to the flamberge, being extremely wavy in design. This confers many of the advantages of the larger sword to this dagger, allowing it to cause crippling damage against an enemy. | 40 gm | Garotte A handheld ligature of chain, rope, scarf, wire or fishing line used to strangle a person. | 5 sm |

The following items may be added to a weapon with their listed values added to the overall weapon cost. In the case of weapon materials, the price modifier is applied to the weapon AFTER all other extras and modifiers are totaled.
Different Weapon Materials
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Isurian Steel Weapons forged from Isurian steel are twice as durable as the highest quality iron and half the weight. They hold their edges longer and are prized for their use in magecrafting. Only Isurian smiths are capable of crafting weapons from Isurian steel as it requires the use of their specialized arm in the forging process. Note that Isurian steel is VERY rare outside of the Kingdom of Sultros thus it is only available for a starting package if you are Isur or have an Isur contact (consult a storyteller). | Cost x 5 | Cold Iron Weapons forged of cold iron, also called cold steel, are of superior quality; possessing greater durability and holding an edge longer than traditional iron or steel. The iron gets its name from being cold to the touch even when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time. It is rumored that these weapons can cause greater harm to the undead than other weapons although such claims are unfounded. Cold iron is found in iron mines alongside normal iron deposits but at a severely reduced ratio. It is slightly more difficult to work than normal iron or steel but tends to produce greater quality weapons. | Cost x 3 | Flint Crafted through the process of knapping, flint weapons are quite crude. They are most often used by simpler more primitive societies and by those who either lack the skill or resources to work metal. | Cost / 2 |
Glass Glass weapons are primarily found being used for ceremonial or decorative purposes. While crafted to be more durable that other items made from glass, they are not suited for use in combat. That is unless they are magecrafted or bare gnostic properties. | Cost x 2 | Iron Iron is most often used in the forging of tools and basic implements. Iron weapons are considered inferior to steel and are more susceptible to rusting. For use in weapons, iron does not hold as sharp of an edge. | Cost / 1.5 | Steel Metal weapons or any weapons containing metal on Mizahar are most commonly made up of steel. Steel is the the primary metal of choice for weapons and is the most available. | Listed Cost |
Practice, Metal Core Metal-cored weapons are wood that is bolted to a thin metal strip. The metal strip grants them a bit more durability and helps to simulate the weight of true metal when training with weapons. Such weapons are still too fragile to be of effective use against metal ones. | Cost / 2 | Practice, Wooden Wooden practice weapons are most often used to aid in learning to use a weapon. They are blunted, lightweight and of no use in combat against weapons of stronger materials. | Cost / 4 | Pure Copper Copper weapons, while being softer than steel, are rather valuable due to the fact that copper is often used for monetary purposes. Also, due to copper being quite malleable, it is often used in crafting more decorative, ceremonial weapons than strictly combative ones. Ages ago, copper was a more common material although such items were crudely made and bare little resemblance to more recent specimens. | Cost x 4 |
Pure Gold Gold is quite malleable and is most often found in ceremonial weapons than actual combat unless magecrafted, baring a gnosis mark or charged with izentor. As gold is the primary monetary unit of many societies, getting enough of it to forge a weapon is very expensive. | Cost x 7 | Pure Silver Though slightly harder than gold, silver is also used primarily in the crafting of ceremonial weapons. It's use as a monetary unit makes finding enough to forge weapons with quite expensive. | Cost x 6 | Bone/Ivory Weapons crafted from bone or ivory range from being quite common to being quite rare depending on one's culture, religion and/ore location. Weapons made from common animals are obviously common while weapons made from the bones of rare, dangerous, mystical or otherwise uncommon creatures are more expensive. Sometimes weapons made from human bone may be found, these are considered somewhat rare as well. | Cost / 2 - Cost x 4 |
Voril These are exceptionally well crafted items that have been handled by a Voril Mage and infused with Vorilescence. | Cost x 10 |

Bladed Bow A longbow with a thin-but-well-sharpened blade at one end, it is intended to give archers a defensive weapon when charged in combat.

Impossible for a human to operate without resting it upon a solid surface or using the foldaway bipod on its underside. Will puncture most normal forms of armor but is very slow to reload. | 250 gm | Crossbow, Siege Bolts (10) Typical missiles fired from a siege crossbow. | 25 gm |
Longbow Most often found in use by military archers on the battlefield, the longbow has a much greater range than a shortbow and is quite a bit larger as well. | 75 gm | Longbow, Composite Made from laminated horn, wood or bone and built with a recurve, meaning that the bow remains bow-shaped even when unstrung. Able to fly farther and with more impact than a regular longbow. | 100 gm | Longbow Arrows (20) Typical missile fired with the use of a longbow. | 1 gm |
Staff Sling A sling attached to the end of a five-to-six-foot-long pole and capable of slinging stones with a much greater force than a simple hand-held sling. | 3 gm |

Ram The battering ram is a simple device consisting of a heavy pole—either suspended by ropes from a movable scaffold or held aloft by troops—that is repeatedly smashed into a gate or other barrier to break it down. The end of the pole is often shod in iron, which can be forged into a variety of decorative shapes such as dragon heads. The typical battering ram is 30 feet long. Requires at least 10 people to operate. | 1,000 gm | Siege Tower This is a large wooden tower on wheels or rollers that can be rolled up against a wall to allow attackers to scale the tower and thus to get to the top of the wall with cover. The wooden walls are usually 1 foot thick. A typical three-level siege tower is 30 feet tall and can hold nine people per level. It can be pushed by the nine creatures on the lower level. | 2,000 gm | Trebuchet A trebuchet uses a heavy counterweight to fire heavy projectiles an extraordinary distance. The trebuchet uses a 30-foot-long swing arm on a fulcrum with twin buckets filled with rubble attached to one end and a sling for the ammunition attached to the other end. The counterweight buckets are hauled into the air by a winch system and held in place by a latch. Requires 6 people to operate. | 1,200 gm |
Trebuchet stone A massive stone fired from a trebuchet. Weighs around 150lbs. | 4 gm |
Special Arrows
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Arrow, Armour Piercing (20) These arrows have long, narrow, metal points instead of the broader heads commonly used with most arrows. This far smaller impact area of the arrow allows it to punch straight through armour with ease. | 20 gm | Arrow, Barbed (20) With vicious, curved, back-hooks lining the head, this arrow causes a great deal of pain and damage when removed as it digs into flesh. | 10 gm | Arrow, Broad (20) This arrow has a broader head than a normal arrow, making it heavier and able to deal more damage when it hits. | 15 gm |
Arrow, Fire Fire arrows are specially designed to stay alight even in the midst of wind and rain through the use of a broad head and a small internal reservoir of oil. | 15 gm | Arrow, Fishing (20) Has small, barbed hooks and waterproofed fletchings to allow fishermen to easily catch fish just beneath the surface of water. | 4 gm | Arrow, Flight (20) Lightly constructed in order to give them much greater ranges. | 3 gm |
Arrow, Game (20) These arrows have blunt, heavy tips designed to stun small prey rather than completely destroy it. | 4 gm | Arrow, Whistling (20) Often used for signalling in the midst of battle, or as warnings by sentries, whistling arrows emit a distinctive, high-pitched sound when fired, by funnelling air through channels in the head of the arrow. The noise is easily audible to any within 60 feet of the flight path of the arrow. | 20 gm |

Armor
Except where specifically noted, most types of armor cannot be combined with items found in other lists such as the Enlightened and Magic Related and retain their individual properties. In particular, robes found in the Enlightened and Magic Related list cannot be combined with types of armor found in the Armor list and benefit from properties each item would have by itself. These two lists are stand-alone when it comes to armor and robes. For example, one cannot have armored pocket robes because the armor plating of the armored robes takes up too much room to allow for the extra pockets of the pocket robes. Also, armored robes cannot benefit from the sound-muffling properties of Akajia robes as the armor plates are too bulky and heavy thus they cancel out the muffling properties. IMPORTANT NOTE: See Isurian Steel in the Lore for more detailed information on that material.
Also, when there is a racial tag show in parentheses next to a piece or suit of armor, this indicates that the specific entry is designed and built by the listed race and finding that particular item or suit outside of that race's main geographical area of influence is next to impossible and if available, the price is 10x the listed amount.
Cost Modifiers based on the type of material an armor is made of are cumulative with other modifiers such as the before mentioned availability modifier and even modifiers assigned by having an item Izentored by an isur or anyone else marked by Izurdin. Note that material modifiers only apply to suits or pieces of armor that do not already specific a certain material in their name and/or description. For example, an isurian battle robe is already made with isurian steel which is figured into its price already. Thus no modifier for isurian steel is added. However, if a suit of silver chainmail is izentored, modifiers are applied as follows: 150 gm (chaimail) + silver (x6) + izentor (x10) = 150 gm x 16 (6+10=16)= 2,400 gm.
For those races with extra limbs or odd body structures/types, for example, Eypharians have multiple arms so armor would need to be specifically altered for them. If purchased in their homeland, such armor does not cost any extra. If purchased anywhere else, the cost increases by half.
Light
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Bone Mail (Aquatic) This is armor formed of small shards of bone, tied together with kelp rope or fish leather. | 30 gm | Buckskin Armor Composed of reinforced buckskin. Barbarians often gather the skins from young bucks to outfit their villages with this type of armor for tribal wars. | 30 gm | Camouflage Armor Made of interlocking leather scales dyed in earthy tones and shaped like leaves. Only the helmet, breast piece, bracers and grieves are crafted this way, with leggings and sleeves made of softer leather with etched leaf patterns. | 50 gm |
Chain Shirt A shirt of chainmail protects the torso while leaving the limbs free and mobile. A layer of quilted fabric underneath it prevents chafing and cushions the impact of blows. It comes with a steel cap. | 100 gm | Chitinous Armor Crafted from the specially-treated shells of giant spiders, boulder beetles and various over-sized insects, this armor provides decent physical protection to its wearer, but excellent protection against missile attacks thanks to its naturally rounded shape and smooth exterior. | 200 gm | Climbing Armor Lightweight and covered with an assortment of hooks, carabiners and tough, leather loops, this armor is designed to assist the wearer in his climbing attempts. Unfortunately, the design that allows the wearer to clamber up sheer surfaces also makes it more difficult for him to maneuver when not climbing. | 100 gm |
Cord Armor Cord is woven from tree bark and other durable plant fibers, tightly knotted and plaited into a thick, durable fabric. Like chainmail, cord armor is sometimes combined with heavier metal plates and is usually accompanied by a silk under-dress that protects the wearer from the course nature of the material. Popular among forest dwelling cultures. | 10 gm | Leather The breastplate and shoulder protectors of this armor are made of leather that has been stiffened by boiling in oil. The rest of the armor is softer and more flexible leather. | 10 gm | Leather, Night Ink-black and made with soft and tough spidersilk. The material seems to absorb light and is quite flexible and lightweight. The techniques for making such armor are highly guarded secrets by those who know them. | 60 gm |
Light Scale (Aquatic) Composed of small, light, scaled hide taken from fish and then hardened. It is most often used by more aquatic cultures. Often called, fish-leather. | 30 gm | Padded Padded armor features quilted layers of cloth and padding frequently in a diamond or square pattern. | 5 gm | Robe of Leaves Fashioned from the treated leaves of certain trees and reinforced with thin strips of tanned leather, this armor is both functional and often quite beautiful. Construction techniques are known only to certain crafters living among forest cultures. | 55 gm |
Slender Chainmail Shirt (Isurian) Specifically crafted to be concealed beneath a tunic and to be virtually noiseless as the wearer moves about. Though it offers slightly less protection than standard chainmail, it is still quite popular. | 120 gm | Soft Kelp Armor (Aquatic) The lightest and most flexible type of undersea armor, this armor is fashioned from kelp that has been treated to enhance toughness and resiliency. The armor is still very pliant and is woven in thin layers. It is usually pale green in hue. Most often found in use by aquatic cultures. | 7 gm | Stiffened Kelp Armor (Aquatic) Somewhat tougher than soft kelp and woven in thicker layers, this armor offers more protection at some cost in comfort and mobility. It is dark emerald green and is often decorated with small, brightly-colored mollusks that cling to the armor. The treatment process prevents them from digesting it. Most likely found in use by aquatic cultures. | 15 gm |
Studded Leather This armor is made from tough but flexible leather (not hardened leather as with normal leather armor) reinforced with close-set metal rivets. | 25 gm | Symenestra Armor Comprised of Chitin materials with a sleeker outline than standard Chitin armor, specially crafted for lean Symenestra bodies. It is often worn in segments, the individual pieces buckled into place to allow for ease of motion. Its primary use is protection from close physical attacks. Torso only protection cuts 1/3 from cost. | 90 gm |
Medium
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Back and Breast Consist of a breast and back plate, usually worn in addition to lighter armor, thus providing an extra degree of protection at the expense of increased weight and less freedom of movement. Light armor already worn when this is donned transforms it into medium armor. | 50 gm | Breastplate Covers the front and back. It comes with a helmet and matching greaves (plates to cover the lower legs). A light suit or skirt of studded leather beneath the breastplate protects limbs without restricting movement much. | 200 gm | Brigandine Consists of metal splints sewed upon canvas, linen or leather and covered with similar materials. | 250 gm |
Chainmail Made of interlocking metal rings. It includes a layer of quilted fabric underneath it to prevent chafing and to cushion the impact of blows. Several layers of mail are hung over vital areas. Most of the armor's weight hangs from the shoulders, making chainmail uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. It includes gauntlets. | 150 gm | Fur-Lined Hide Mail Made from hardened layers of leather, this armor is adorned with soft fur around the neck and waistline. | 65 gm | Hauberk A one-piece set of chain armor. It is similar to a chain shirt, except that it hangs lower, to just below the knee. Most hauberks have a hood attached that protects the wearer’s head. A hauberk is cheaper and easier to manufacture than regular chainmail and offers nearly the same amount of protection, although it hinders its wearer’s movements more. | 110 gm |
Heraldic Coin Armor A unique set of armor crafted from the various types of coins found throughout the land. Everything from copper to gold has been used to create intricate patterns, including family crests in some instances. This armor is highly prized by war captains and politicians as a symbol of their status. | 450-5,000 gm | Hide Prepared from multiple layers of leather and animal hides. It is stiff and hard to move in. | 15 gm | Hide, Hunter’s The cured hide wraps around the wearer mimicking the anatomy of a beast, fur and smell included, with the head of the animal serving as a helmet. | 20 gm |
Lamellar This armor consists of hundreds of small rectangular iron, leather, or bronze plates patterned in an almost scale-like way, which are pierced in various locations and laced together into horizontal rows. Often worn over other forms of lighter armor such as leather or chainmail, the design of the Lamellar has a better chance of causing blades to skim over its surface rather than piercing or cutting. | 45 gm | Medium Scale (Aquatic) Used by the same cultures that use light scale, this armor is made of heavier plates from large, better-armored fish and several additional layers of smaller scales as well. | 75 gm | Tree Bark Armor Made from treated tree bark , this armor protects its wearer fairly well. Those who are out in the field and in need of an emergency set of armor often craft this type. | 10 gm |
Robe, Armored Small, metal plates and thick leather padding sewn into the inner side of the robe provide protection without drawing undue attention to the wearer. Unfortunately, armored robes are both bulky and heavy, limiting movement and speed. | 55 gm | Robe, Battle (Isurian) Resilient fabric made from gossamer thread intertwines with Isurian steel wire and small, iron plates, providing very good protection. There are versions of battle robes tailored as dresses and gowns. Amazing levels of protection combined with near weightlessness and flexibility make these robes a rare prize to be had. | 2,500 gm | Scale Mail This is a coat and leggings (and perhaps a separate skirt) of leather covered with overlapping pieces of metal, much like the scales of a fish. It includes gauntlets. | 50 gm |
Small Shell Armor (Aquatic) Consists of a soft kelp undergarment with many small shells sewn into it for added protection. The shells are often chosen for decorative as well as protection value and each suit of this armor is a unique work of art. Unique to aquatic cultures. | 60 gm | Wire Armour (Isurian) Rather than craft armor from rows of linked chains or overlapping plates, some Isur braid their armor from lengths of steel wire. It provides excellent protection from slashing and piercing but is unable to shield the wearer from bludgeoning. It is lighter weight than solid metal armor. | 1,000 gm |
Heavy
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Banded Mail Made of overlapping strips of metal sewn to a backing of leather and chainmail. The strips cover vulnerable areas, while the chain and leather protect the joints and provide freedom of movement. Straps and buckles distribute the weight evenly. It includes gauntlets. | 250 gm | Bladeshatter Plate (Isurian) The armor plates of this battle suit form sharp angles, which can chip or even shatter a sword or knife blade when it strikes them at the proper angle. The unique form of the plates does not affect axes, hammers, or other weapons. | 3,000 gm | Bronze Plate Half-plate armor that is much lighter in construction, allowing greater mobility at the expense of heavy protection. | 900 gm |
Full Plate Consists of shaped and fitted metal plates riveted and interlocked to cover the entire body. It includes gauntlets, heavy leather boots and a visored helmet. Buckles and straps distribute the weight over the body, so full plate hampers movement less than splint mail even though splint is lighter. Each suit of full plate must be individually fitted to its owner by a master smith, although a captured suit can be re-sized to fit a new owner. | 1,500 gm | Half-Plate A combination of chainmail with metal plates (breastplate, epaulets, elbow guards, gauntlets, tassets and greaves) covering vital areas. Buckles and straps hold the whole suit together and distribute the weight, but the armour still hangs more loosely than full plate. It includes gauntlets. | 600 gm | Heavy Scale Armor (Aquatic) Made from several layers of carefully prepared fish-leather reinforced with large scales. This thick, heavy armor grants little mobility but offers much security. Most common among aquatic cultures. | 2,000 gm |
Large Shell Armor (Aquatic) Uses larger shells to form the main components; the breast plate, shoulder plates and so on and links them together with smaller shells and bone pieces to provide excellent protection, though at a significant cost in weight and flexibility. | 500 gm | Plant Fiber Plate Made from densely compressed plates of extremely tough and resistant plant fibers. | 700 gm | Splint Mail Made of narrow, vertical strips of metal riveted to a backing of leather that is worn over cloth padding. Flexible chainmail protects the joints. It includes gauntlets. | 200 gm |
Wood Splint Armor Made of narrow strips of wood (usually painted black) backed onto leather with thick cord that is worn over cloth padding. Unlike many other suits of armor, wood splint is worn with heavy leather gloves, rather than gauntlets. | 100 gm |
Shields
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Buckler A small, metal shield strapped to the forearm allowing it to be worn and still use the hand. | 15 gm | Shield, Crossbow (Isurian) Similar to a tower shield, this device can be attached to the front of a crossbow to form a protective tripod. This not only shields the archer but also stabilizes the weapon for a more accurate shot. A small view hole allows one to see targets past the shield. | 100 gm | Shield, Jousting Has a round cleft on its right upper edge, designed to fit a lance for better stability. | 30 gm |
Shield, Large, Leather The leather is supported across a wooden framework and stiffened using processes similar to those used in the creation of hide armor. Piercing and slashing attempts rip through the shield while blunt are protected against. | 2 gm | Shield, Large, Wooden Similar in function to a large steel shield, the wooden shield is of course less durable. | 7 gm | Shield, Large, Steel A large protective shield that eliminates the use of the shield arm for anything other than using the shield. | 20 gm |
Shield, Retractable, Wooden (Isurian) Initially appears to be the size of a buckler and acts as such. It can actually be expanded with the pulling of a release key. Upon release the fans that make up the retractable shield spread out and become a large shield. The retractable shield then acts just like large shield. Retractable shields require one minute to retract to their original state and this is done by turning the key until the fans that make up the shield lock into place. | 15 gm | Shield, Retractable, Metal (Isurian) Initially appears to be the size of a buckler and acts as such. It can actually be expanded with the pulling of a release key. Upon release the fans that make up the retractable shield spread out and become a large shield. The retractable shield then acts just like large shield. Retractable shields require one minute to retract to their original state and this is done by turning the key until the fans that make up the shield lock into place. | 50 gm | Shield, Small, Leather Light and very flexible but provides only limited protection against attack. The leather is supported across a wooden framework and stiffened using processes similar to those used in the creation of hide armor. | 1 gm |
Shield, Small, Wooden A small shield’s light weight allows one to carry other items in that hand save for weapons. | 3 gm | Shield, Small, Steel A small shield’s light weight allows one to carry other items in that hand save for weapons. | 9 gm | Shield, Tower A massive, wooden shield nearly as tall as the wielder. Basically, it is a portable wall meant to provide cover. It can provide up to total cover, depending on how far a person comes out from behind it. | 30 gm |
Shield, Turtle (Isurian) Appearing as a normal tower shield, the turtle shield can be unfolded and will stand on its own, providing 100% cover to those behind it. It is most often found in use on the battlefield specifically to protect injured while they are tended to. | 100 gm | Shield, Woven Lightweight, steeply-rounded shields made of interwoven lengths of either lacquered rattan or bamboo. | 10 gm |

Form-Fit Armor with this modification has to be tailored to the character’s dimensions and crafted by a master smith. Form-fit armor is created in order to allow a character to put the armor on and wear it with the minimum amount of effort and fuss. | 150 gm | Gauntlet, Locked (Isurian) Small chains and braces that allow the wearer to attach his weapon so that it cannot be dropped easily. | 8 gm | Roundels Consisting of a series of discs attached to the vulnerable joints of metal armor, roundels provide a greater level of protection at the expense of extra weight. Roundels may be combined with any medium or heavy armor, with the exception of full plate. | 125 gm |
Surcoat Similar to a tabard, a surcoat is a cloth garment worn over armor to identify its wearer. It is long and flowing like a tunic. | 2 gm | Shield Spikes Allow a shield to cause more harm when used as a bashing weapon. | 10 gm | Shield Teeth Protrusions that are meant to catch a blade or shaft and rip the weapon out of an opponent’s hand. | 10 gm |
Tabard, Chain Consists of two layers of cloth with a middle layer of chainmail. It cannot be worn over heavy armor as it hampers movement too much. | 55 gm | Tabard, Padded A rectangular piece of cloth worn over armor. Normal tabards are meant to bear the wearer’s coat of arms or other symbols, but armored tabards add protection. A padded tabard is made of many layers of heavy cloth that can be worn over any armor. | 15 gm |
Helmets
Helmets come in all shapes and sizes and serve a variety of function. Below is a short list of some of the different styles commonly found around Mizahar. Note that the helmets are listed with base prices for steel. These prices may vary based on material. See materials below.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Helmet, Chin Guard A helmet which may or may not impair vision to the sides. Provides less defense than the Great Helm or it's kin but does not impair vision as much. It often weighs less. The most important element of this type of helmet however is the strap, usually some type of leather, that helps keep it on the wearer's head. | 50 gm | Helmet, Great Helm A full helmet that covers the entire head and neck. It often has a visor with narrow eye-slots that flips up to offer a wider field of vision. It is primarily used while mounted on a horse but also used on foot. This helmet is quite efficient at protecting one's head and face yet somewhat impairs vision because of the visor and narrow field of view. It is also rather heavy. | 30 gm | Helmet, Nasal A common type of helmet that works to protect the head and nose. It allows for a wider range of vision at the expense of protection as other than the nose, most of the face is open. | 25 gm |
Helmet, Skullcap one of the oldest types of helmets to date and found in use all over Mizahar, the skullcap found its first widespread use centuries ago among the Isur who required head protection that did not impede them while offering some amount of protection. The skullcap is little more than a thin piece of metal shaped to fit over the top of one's head. It does not offer any protection to the face or neck and it is very thin. Thus, while protecting from light strikes to the head, it will not hold up against much else. | 10 gm |

It is often dressed in beaten-down armor that is of little use for anything other than training. Such practice dummies are useful for training in any form of combat from archery to swordsmanship and even unarmed combat. | 10 gm |
Practice Dummy, Advanced Two, tall wood beams are sunk in the ground. From either one, chains extend down to connect, at four points, to a wood/rope figure resembling a humanoid. The construct is mean to simulate to some extent, movement from a target as it is struck; thus granting simulated body response to a strike. It is useful in training any form of combat be it armed or unarmed. The dummy itself may be armored, clothed, or left bare depending on the needs of the training. | 50 gm | Punching Bag The punching bag is essentially a leather pouch packed tightly with straw or some other soft substance.

An overall good set to have in any barracks or training facility. | 45 gm |
Enlightened, Magic and Magic Related
For the labs and kits listed here, the cost for replacing used/lost materials, items and equipment is half that of the full purchase price of the kit/lab.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Acid (1-Pint Flask) A flask of corrosive liquid that can eat through most non-metal substances | 10 gm | Acid Bulb Consists of a thin, hard, spherical shell that is filled with acids and usually attached to the end of a long thrusting weapon, such as a spear. Usually found in use by undersea cultures. | 90 gm | Acidic Tar (½-Pint Flask) This thin glass flask contains a quantity of sticky, acidic tar that sticks to whatever it touches. The flask itself is quite fragile and great care must be taken in its handling. | 50 gm |

Useful to jewelcrafters who may need to identify certain stones and determine their value. | 50 gm | Barrister Case This armored case is capable of holding up to four books; protecting them from water and moderate heat. | 250 gm |
Book, Common A common book, one that you are most likely to find in a shop is one that is poorly written with bad grammar and include personal stories and observations. They are basically someone's journal or diary. You don't buy a journal to learn Reimancy. These books cannot be used to learn skills. Though considered to be common, these books are still difficult to find. | 5-10 gm | Book, Average An Average book, one that is well written and might be more than a simple journal, may contain enough information to MAYBE will have just enough information to help you achieve an L1 in a skill. If we are talking magical skills, a VERY rare instance of one of these books may provide you with enough information to get you started on an L1 but that's about it. They are very hard to find and won't be found in your average shop. | 50 gm | Book, Blank These are books with pages yet to be filled. They are often bound with covers of leather although other materials such as wood or even bone are not uncommon. | 3 gm |
Book, Exquisite Exquisite books are Post-Valterrrian works of art. They often contain copied fragments from Pre-Valterrian sources and/or are written by those with high levels of education in different fields. Even then, you aren't likely to gain enough information for more than an L2 skill if you are lucky.

Spiritist Beads almost always found only for sale by Spiritists and are inactive until smeared with Soulmist. Each section is 1-foot long but multiple sections may be purchased to increase overall size. | 10 gm/foot |
Staff, Arcane Made from darkly stained wood, this heavy staff has gold and or silver inscriptions on it. The inscriptions are stylized and not actually magical in nature. The narrow end of the staff has an elaborate metallic spike on it. The head will typically have either a stylized depiction of some animal or a large, rough crystal. An arcane staff, while heavy, is not very sturdy and tends to break when struck firmly against something. It is really more for show than actual use. | 100 gm | Staff, Explorer’s A smooth, hardwood staff having a few metal fixtures on it that makes it somewhat useful to travelers and explorers. It has a single, flat side which makes it possible to set it down without it rolling. It has a metal loop attached near its middle, just above the grip. The staff is strong and can take nearly 200 pounds at its center point before breaking. This allows it to be used as an effective brace or lever. Finally, the staff has a spiked end, aiding in balance so to keep footing on rocky or icy surfaces. | 15 gm | Staff, Extension This item comes in the form of 10 one-foot sections of wood and a pair of metal caps. The sections of wood are set with metal on each end; one has screw threads and the other is a sheath designed to accept those threads. As many sections as desired can be put together, resulting in a staff as long as one may wish. Note however that the longer the staff, the weaker it will be. | 75 gm |
Staff, Fire A fire staff is a hardwood staff with a setting for a glass orb and a gold-lined reservoir in the upper part of the shaft. The reservoir contains a tiny amount of Ivak's Fire.

However they have a hollow, metal core and at least one way of accessing the central shaft (usually on one end). Detecting the access point is difficult. The staff can store a total volume equal to one cubic foot of material, so long as no part of the material is greater than ¾ of an inch wide. This type of staff is often used by spies and messengers. | 150 gm |
Staff, Sage's A wooden or metal walking staff with a small built-in podium on its upper end. Traveling sages and storytellers may find use from such a staff as it provides a subtle focus for those who use them regularly; such staves are not a common thing so their use can draw attention. | 75 gm | Travelers Chest A three-foot by two-foot rolling or sliding chest on a leash. A traveling chest can contain an entire, carefully-packed, philterers lab, vital scrolls and potions, or any number of varied types of paraphernalia. While the chest may have large wheels to aid in its movement, some are designed somewhat like a sled. | 100 gm |
Magecraft Items
Although the open practice of magic is frowned upon and even forbidden in some areas of Mizahar, there still exists a market for items baring magical properties. Those items crafted primarily through the use of Magecraft are often seen as less dangerous, more accepted and quite useful by even those who would otherwise condemn the use of magic by individuals. As a result, a number of minor yet quite useful items have made their way into various markets and bazaars throughout Mizahar. Due to the cost and effort required in producing Magecraft items, in addition to the danger involved in crafting high powered items, only items of a relatively low power level can be found for public sale. These items are never found for sale in random shops or general stores. They are exclusive to shops and businesses operated by the item's crafter and can be quite expensive even for simple items.
Items are listed with description, required reagents/catalysts, additional skill requirements in addition to Magecraft or skills used to construct the items itself including other magic and/or gnosis, the item's MC (Magical Coefficient) and the number of Magecraft steps. In order to operate a business that sells said items, the owner/operator must have the required skills/materials/gnosis for the listed items. Due to the extreme cost of materials, businesses dealing in Magecraft are few and far between and the items are considered rather rare or uncommon at best.
These are sample items that may be found in a shop dealing in Magecraft items. The listed items very well could be crafted through different means through the use of differing types of added magic, gnosis and/or reagents and catalysts, those found below are only examples of some things that can be found/made. The listed items may include Reagents/Catalysts in their creation. While items with less than 3 steps in a single category do not require Reagents/Catalysts, some optional materials can aid in the Magecraft process by granting additional properties. Some of the listed items below have optional reagents used in their creation to produce the desired effects.
Protection
These are items that provide some form of protection or defense from one or more of the many dangerous aspects of the Post-Valterrian World of Mizahar.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Alarm Ring This ring is made from copper, silver or gold and is designed to help alert the wearer to a particular aura. These rings can only alert to a single aura and have a limit of a 100 foot radius around the wearer. When detecting the assigned presence, the ring will deliver a very quick jolt to the wearer, informing them of the assigned aura. This jolt only activates upon the initial detection of the assigned aura and does not give any indication of direction, quantity or any other information about the aura, only that it has entered the area of detection. Regeant/Catalyst: Blood of Assigned Presence, MC: 4, Skill: Auristics, Steps: 1 Magical (Auristics), 1 Behavioral, 1 Intellectual, 1 Gnosis (Zulrav). | 15,000 gm | Armband of Nature's Passage This armband is made of silver bands woven together with wooden strips and is designed to allow the wearer an easier time of traveling through thickly wooded areas. When worn, the armband responds to the presence of thick foliage that would otherwise restrict or bar passage. Branches will conveniently twist out of the way, vines will separate and thorns will dull so that the wearer can essentially create their own path. This will not cause entire trees to move nor will it eliminate the barriers; it only allows the wearer ease of passage and reduce or eliminate cuts, scratches or scrapes that may otherwise be incurred upon such travel. Regeant/Catalyst: None, Skill: Wilderness Survival: None, MC: 3, Steps: 1 Behavioral, 1 Intellectual, 1 Gnosis (Caiyha) | 9,000 gm | Beast Bane Beast Bane is a small metal amulet made of copper, silver or gold. It can be worn as an amulet or attached to a piece of clothing such as a glove, shirt or belt. The face of the amulet is etched with the shape of an animal such as a dog, cat, bear, etc. Beast Bane is designed to repel natural animals (animals that naturally occur in nature without the assistance of magic, gnosis or otherworldly forces) and deter them from threatening or harming the wearer. The affected animals will attempt to avoid the wearer though if pushed, will still attack. Basically, Beast Bane activates the flight instinct of the affected animal. Regeant/Catalyst: Blood or fur/scale/feather of affected animal, MC: 2, Animal Husbandry: 1, Steps: 1 Behavioral, 1 Intellectual. | 5,100 gm |
Badge of the Fallen This copper, silver or gold badge takes the shape of a feather. When worn, it grants minor protection to the wearer from injury sustained from falling great distances. While the badge will not make the wearer immune to physical damage taken from falling, it will seriously reduce the sustained injuries. If a fall would otherwise kill the wearer, the badge will reduce the damage to severely broken bones and minor to moderate internal bleeding, depending on the distance fallen. Of course, if the distance fallen would otherwise cause the wearer to shatter every bone in their body and splatter their innards, they will still die but the badge will save them from anything less; the amount of time they live after without medical attention however is still in question. Reagent/Catalyst: A bird's feather, MC: 2, Skill: None, Steps: 1 Behavioral, 1 Intellectual. | 5,100 gm | Fortitude Belt This leather belt bares a clasp of silver and is designed to provide the wearer with increased stamina and endurance. The wearer is granted increased physical fortitude and can push themselves further than they otherwise would be able to. The belt does not eliminate exhaustion, it simply delays it while tacking it on to the end. Thus, if one goes two days of activity without sleep or adverse affects, they must sleep two days to recover. However, the wearer will be able to function up to four days without physical repercussion although they will have to pay the price of four days of sleep in order to recover. Not paying this price will result in the effects of no sleep coming down upon the person with full strength. Reagent/Catalyst: None, MC: 2, Skill: None, Steps: 1 Behavioral, 1 Gnosis (Izurdin). | 5,100 gm | Hardened Shield This metal buckler shield possesses a hardened aspect which adds to its ability to absorb damage from weapons. Although not indestructible, the Hardened Shield can withstand an enormous amount of damage before finally giving in. This particular shield goes in the direction of practicality over beauty of appearance leaving it looking like an ordinary buckler while possessing supernatural strength. Reagent/Catalyst: A slice of skin from an Isur, MC: 3, Skill: None, Steps: 3 Structural. | 9,000 gm |
Iron Cloak Although often crafted as a cloak, the process used to Magecraft an Iron Cloak can be used on just about any piece of clothing. The Iron Cloak is crafted to resist tearing. While it is not indestructible, the Iron Cloak is able to resist normal wear and tear with ease and throughout extended use. It adds no added protection however against physical or magical attacks upon the wearer but will resist tearing as if it were made of much stronger material. Reagent/Catalyst: None, MC: 1, Skill: None, Steps: 1 Structural. | 3,000 gm |
Utility
These are items that are used more as tools than anything else. They do not have much in the way of defensive or offensive properties and are relatively harmless by themselves.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Blind Fold This strip of black cloth is long enough to be able to wrap around one's head to cover their eyes. When worn and the command word spoken, the Blind Fold grants the wearer nightvision up to a distance of 50 feet. The effect lasts as long as the item is worn however if worn during the day, it will have no effect. The Blind Fold is especially useful for traveling at night when a light source may draw unwanted attention. Reagent/Catalyst: None, MC: 3, Skill: None, Steps: 1 Behavioral, 1 Intellectual, 1 Gnosis (Akaija). | 9,000 gm | Call of the Linguist This silver tongue piercing is tipped with a tiny ruby. It is designed to allow the "pierced" to speak a specific language based on the regeant used in creation (blood). So if Symenestra blood is used in the creation, the "wearer" can speak the language of the Symenestra at a basic level. When the wearer speaks in their own language, their words come out in the language the piercing is aligned to. This effect is activated via a command word, usually the word for the assigned language spoken in the wearers native language. Any language can be spoken this way as long as the right blood is used during creation. This also includes animals and sentient beings alike. Regeant/Catalyst: Blood of the spoken language, MC: 2, Skill: None, Steps: 1 Behavioral, 1 Intellectual. | 5,100 gm | Cube of Firestarting This piece of obsidian is carved into the shape of a cube. By themselves, the cubes provide heat equivalent to a warm blanket. The effect is constant and cannot be deactivated. When combined with the Flame Bowl, the cubes become capable of igniting a flame upon combustible material. Upon blowing on the cube, it breaks down into tiny fiery coals that are capable of igniting any easily combustible material. Reagent/Catalyst: Cube shaped piece of obsidian, MC: 2, Skill: Reimancy (Fire), Steps: 1 Magical (Reimancy). | 5,100 gm |
Firefly Globe This small glass globe is designed to create mild illumination in a general area or directed into a specific direction. The light effect is constant which means the globe must be covered to prevent it from producing light. The amount of light given off is equivalent to the average torch. Upon speaking the word for "brightness", the globe will produce focused light in the direction the user points the globe in. The amount of illumination is twice that of a torch focused on the target direction. Reagent/Catalyst: A firefly, MC: 2, Skill: None, Steps: 1 Gnosis (Priskil), 1 Intellectual. | 5,100 gm | Flame Bowl A clay bowl sculpted to a perfect finish, the Flame Bowl is etched with relatively simple glyphs along the inside rim.

When Cubes of Firestarting are placed in the bowl, the cubes become able to start fires using combustible materials. Regeant/Catalyst: A piece coal, MC: 2, Skill: Reimancy (Fire): Novice, Steps: 1 Magical (Reimancy), 1 Intellectual. | 5,100 gm | Gourmet Spoon Crafted in the form of a metal spoon, the Gourmet Spoon is designed to turn any two ingredients including a solid and a liquid, into a edible, quite well-tasting substance. As long as the ingredients can be ingested, the spoon can turn them into a meal that can be eaten, enjoyed and provided nourishment. For example, a cup of water and a rock can be turned into a nourishing gruel by using the spoon. Regeant/Catalyst: None, Skill: Philtering: Novice, MC: 2, Steps: 1 Behavioral, 1 Intellectual. | 5,100 gm |
Hood of Grooming This velvet hood is designed to aid in simple facial grooming. By wearing the hood overnight, the wearer will wake up looking clean shaven with clipped hair and a healthy flush to the cheeks. They wearer will look as though they were clean, cropped and made-up to a perfectly presentable condition. The effects of the hood are not permanent however and one's appearance can still be disrupted through normal means. The hood can even make a nuit look a little more alive at least for a short time. Regeant/Catalyst: None, Skill: Morphing: Novice, MC: 2, Steps: 1 Behavioral, 1 Magical (Morphing) | 5,100 gm | Rain Repeller This item takes the form of a single piece of clothing such as a cloak, robe or shirt.

Regeant/Catalyst: None, Skill: None, MC: 1, Steps: 1 Structural | 3,000 gm | Soundstone This small stone is shaped from a piece of quartz. It is designed to create pre-recorded sounds that are set upon its creation. The type of sounds are numerous and depend on the reagent used. For example, if the stone were meant to reproduce an animal call, the blood of that animal would be required in the Magecraft process. Alternately, one could craft a short message or even a simple song into the stone using blood taken from their own tongue. Regeant/Catalyst: Varies, Skill: None, MC: 3, Steps: 1 Gnosis (Rhaus or Ionu), 1 Behavioral, 1 Intellect. | 9,000 gm |
Strong Rope Strong rope is rope that has had its strength increased via Magecraft. Strong rope, although not impervious to breaking, can withstand half again as much stress as mundane rope of the same material. Reagent/Catalyst: None, Skill: None, MC: 1, Steps: 1 Structural. | 3,000 gm | Waterbead Useful anywhere, especially in the desert, a waterbead is a bead made from a pebble taken from the center of a significant body of water such as a lake or river. When placed in an empty container and given a command word, the stone will produce enough water to fill an average-sized mug. The stone can only be used in this manner up to three times per day before it effectively overgives. If this happens, it becomes useless for a full day following the overgiving. Reagent/Catalyst: A pebble taken from the center of a lake or river, Skill: Reimancy (Water), MC: 3, Steps: 1 Magical (Reimancy), 1 Behavioral, 1 Intellect. | 9,000 gm |
Poisons
Throughout Mizahar there are countless things, living, non-living and once-living that may be used in ways not always apparent to most people. However, those skilled in the arts of making poisons have learned how to use such things for deadly and sometimes beneficial ends. The following list of various poisons are those that more commonly known among the poisoners and assassins operating in various locales across the land. This is far from an exhaustive and concrete list of what is available; only some of the more well known. Note that the higher the price listed for specific poisons, the more rare and difficult they are to find and produce. To make it more simple, 1-150 gm = Common(L1), 151-750 = Uncommon(L2), 751-2,500 = Rare(L3), 2501-10,000 = Ultra-Rare(L4). Prices may vary a little per category but seldom more than 25 gm +/-. Most shops and/or dealers in poison will only have Common and Uncommon poisons available for sale. Antidotes for poisons usually cost roughly as much as the poison itself. The rarer, more potent poisons may be more expensive than the market price and haggling with an underworld figure may be required. To work with poisons, one needs at least a portable poisoncrafter's kit. For poisons of L3 or higher, a Poisoncrafter's lab is required.

With poisons come the items and objects by which they are made and dispersed. The proper equipment or weapon is absolutely essential for those delving into the various aspects of poison crafting and poison use. The following list contains a variety of items; most considered illegal in most civilized areas and thus are only able to be purchased through a underground or a black market. Depending on the city, if one is found with these items in their possession, it will usually lead to incarceration or in extreme cases, execution. Note that during character creation and starting packages, some of these items may be taken though a certain skill level in poisons may be required. When this is noted in the item description, that level of skill is also required to create said items where applicable.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Blade spring A small spring-loaded device that, when triggered instantly projects a stiletto blade or a sharp spike, or it can hurl a dart. These mechanisms can be built into most weapons and armor or even into most hand-held objects. Novice level in poisons required for starting package purchase. | 4 gm | Bolt, glass-bulb This device, filled with liquid or powder, can be installed on any crossbow bolt (even hand crossbows) or arrow. These items can accurately deliver a dose of poison to the target. | 1 gm | Bracer, utility A single, thin leather bracer that can be easily concealed under any loose-fitting sleeve. Each bracer is custom-made and can be fitted with up to three of the following options: Spring blade - 4 gm, Needle launcher - 7 gm, Vial sheaths (3) - 1 gm. Novice level in poisons required for starting package purchase | Varies |
Caltrops, poisoned (25) By wearing gloves and strategically placing these caltrops in front of doors, on a step, at a corner; anywhere that a pursuer couldn't easily see them, they serve as a means of delaying or channelling an enemy. In addition to causing minor wounds to a victim, including their slowing effect, the poison they bear serves to weaken further an enemy. Competent level in poisons required for starting package purchase. | 25 gm | Candle, dispersion These candles are made by combining molten wax with a dose of ingestion type poison and a binding agent like fat or egg albumen. When lit, the poison they contain slowly disperses into the air, filling a 10-foot radius area around the candle, turning the ingestion poison into a gas. This poison gas is invisible and generally odorless. These candles become effective one hour after they are lit and remain deadly thereafter while it burns. If the candle is quenched, any remaining duration is saved, though the one-hour burn process must begin again for the gas to build up again. Dispersion candles burn for a total of four hours in any event, and the gas lingers for 10 minutes after they go out for any reason. Competent level in poisons required for starting package purchase. | 5 gm | Clock, poison This, to all appearances, looks like a water clock with an alarm feature on it. There is a bladder hidden inside the clock where any airborne poison can be stored. The back panel of the clock needs to be removed in order for the bladder to be filled. Usually the bladder is filled with colorless and odorless poisons which give little chance of being detected, except by the use of a detect poison spell. Once the bladder is full the alarm of the clock becomes the trigger. When the alarm goes off, the bladder rapidly fills with water. When the bladder is full and the alarm goes off, the poison is released into the air. The poison will affect anyone within 20 feet of the clock when the poison is released and dissipates after one minute. This cannot be purchased as part of a starting package and is considered to be rare. | 2,000 gm |
Colorclear (treats 2 vials) When ground into a fine powder, the petals of this small white flower make most colored fluids clear. The thicker the fluid and the darker the color, the more powder required. Transformation from color to clear usually takes one minute of vigorous stirring, at which time the powder dissolves and is rendered invisible. A faint bitter taste remains, giving those who drink the now clear substance a chance to realize that the drink they have just imbibed my not be as pure as they'd thought. The plant from which the colorclear powder is made is not rare, but it is not hardy and grows only in very wet and warm areas. The flowers bloom for a period of ten days during early spring, then go to seed. Novice level in poisons required to for starting package purchase. | 100 gm | Death cup This metal cup comes in variety of shapes and styles, but all versions have a hidden reservoir that can hold one dose of a liquid poison. The poison is poured in first and seeps down into the reservoir through cleverly concealed holes in the base of the cup bowl. When another liquid is added, the poison and drink mingle during the pouring process. Competent level in poisons is required for starting package purchase | 75 gm | Portable Poisoncrafting kit Combining some of the functions from both an philterer's identification and appraisal kits, this portable kit is more specialized for the poisoncrafter's trade. A series of small vials, bags, bottles and tubes along with various identification and production tools are included in the kit. Contained in a large bag often strapped to a backpack, to the untrained eye, it looks very much like an philtering kit. Novice level in poisons required for starting package purchase. | 150 gm |
Herbs and Plants
There are countless examples of various herbs found in Mizahar. The following are examples of some of the more unique herbs that are known to possess a number of special uses that many throughout Mizahar take advantage of. This is not meant to be a full, exhaustive list of all herbs and plants one may find but does give a wide range of some things that stand out.
Botanists know how to grow and identify plants and often the proper means of harvest. Herbalists know how to utilize what parts of plants to turn them into additional useful items like medicines, beauty products, etc. Philterists can turn properties of plants into potions and brews ie philters. If a plant is listed as L1 Herbalism to identify and harvest, one can assume safely that L1 Botanists can also identify and harvest plants. Herbalists cannot grow or properly care for plants without Botany knowledge whereas Botanists can't utilize plant properties without Herbalism knowledge.
Herbs are listed with their frequency (how easy are they to come by, how difficult to identify), common locales (where do they grow), harvest type (annual: every autumn, perennial: midsummer, biennial: every other midsummer), Cost (how much for what parts) and description. The description will include appearance as well as common uses and any other special notes. A special note on frequency: Frequency is classified from common to very rare and is tied to the Locale. Just because an herb is common does not mean that it can be found anywhere (in the wild or for sale). If an herb is common, it is common in the locale listed for that particular herb. Outside of that locale, consider the frequency to be one category higher as far as finding it for sale. For example, an herb common to temperate areas would be uncommon when sold outside those areas and an uncommon would become rare. If this would take the frequency past rare then it is unavailable for sale in that particular area. With each increase in frequency such as mentioned above, the cost of a particular plant/herb doubles. Thus if a temperate herb that normally costs 1 gm is sold outside of a temperate area, the cost becomes 2 gm.
Infusion: Pouring hot or cold water over leaves, stems, seeds, etc.
Maceration: Soaking in a chosen oil for extended periods of time
Decoction: Boiling leaves, stems, seeds, etc.
Please note that the above processes are different from those involved in Philtering. Philtering can however aid one greatly in the practice of herbalism and allows a different variety of possibilities using the following list of plants and herbs. In many cases, Philtering, Poison and/or Medicine skills may be required to get the most out of a particular herb/plant.

Emil’s milky sap and the plant itself are used in numerous ointments and balms and polishes despite its mildly poisonous nature. The sap can be collected in roughly 1/20oz amounts per plant and stored in an airtight container out of the sun for up to nine months. The milk is highly useful after distillation in many poisons. Poisonous effects include nausea, rashes and weeping blisters. L2 herbalism and L2 poisons to identify and harvest. | See Desc. |

Drugs
One of the many gifts granted to the peoples of Mizahar by Nikali, Goddess of Slaves, Pleasure and Addition are the various addictive substances known as drugs. The use of these psychoactive substances to have fun, for the experience, or to enhance an already positive experience is not all that uncommon. Drugs are made from all manner of source material although plants and certain animal parts are the most common. The most common forms of drug administration include Inhalation, snorting, chewing and swallowing. Some drugs are also administered through injection although syringes are large and extremely uncomfortable to use thus reducing the overall common use of this method. Of course there are numerous other ways to administer a drug; they are not limited to those mentioned above.
Drug use on Mizahar is NOT illegal. While anyone can freely engage in the use of any drug they wish, use of it among children is highly frowned on in most racial societies. Due to the general commonality of drug use throughout Mizahar, the cost of many drugs is relatively affordable, by the dose, to most. Multiple doses however can get rather costly. The effects of a single dose of a given drug, unless otherwise noted, lasts anywhere from 1-6 hours on average; sometimes longer and sometimes shorter.
Note that a character's regular drug use can quickly lead to addiction and may end requiring the character to include drug cost into their Living Expenses.
The following drug listings include the Name, Use, Description, Effects, Skill to Create and Cost. This section is an active Work-In-Progress. The current listing of drugs is for Wind-Reach only. More will be added in the coming days.

L2 poison to identify and harvest/process. | 14 gm / dose |
Income
(Note: Characters may only receive a regular income after arranging it with a storyteller.)
Income received from performing a job varies greatly and depends on not only the job itself but also the skill and ability of the worker. City structure can also play an important role as well. In smaller cities of limited wealth and resources, worker income may be less than what it would be in larger cities with greater wealth. A city that prides itself in its mining operations may value miners and masons more than others thus the income of such occupations may also be greater. Below is a list of sample professions and their basic daily income. This assumes that the worker has at least a Novice (L1) level in the primary skill of that profession. As you will see, income may vary greatly but in general, falls within 1 and 10 gold mizas per day. From the list we can also see that jobs requiring more specialized skills offer a greater income but also require more responsibility. Those who fall behind in their job duties may see a reduction in pay or even the loss of their job.
As a person becomes more experienced and acquires a greater level of ability in skills that relate to their job, they may expect a greater income. For job-related skills of Competent (L2), income general increases by half again as much (rounded down). Thus an alchemist making 7 gm a day at a Novice level will make 10 gm a day at Competant Level (L2). At the expert level (L3), income doubles thus the Competent Alchemist making 10 gm a day will make 20 gm a day as an Expert. At the Master level, income for a job doubles yet again so that the Expert Alchemist making 20 gm a day will make 40 gm a day once they become a Master. Note that this is base income. Finalized income is set by the attending Storyteller and may include extras such as a percentage of sold items, etc. Such percentages added to regular base income does not normally surpass 20% per skill level (rounded down). Thus if a character owned an alchemist shop, the storyteller may decide that the character would make an additional amount of money from sales and services. For the L1 Novice Alchemist making 7 gm, they would get an additional 1 gm from sale profits for a total of 8 gm per day. The L2 Competent Alchemist making 10 gm a day would get 12 gm a day after sales profits. The L3 making 20 gm a day would get 24 gm a day total while the Master making 40 would get 48 gm a day total. Remember that these are routine, everyday wages that do not take into account character discoveries, innovations, inventions and adventuring that may bring separate, less routine amounts of money.
Note: See the Job Thread lore for more information regarding how to do your jobs.
Multiple Owner Notes
If there is more than one owner of a business, there is a primary owner's income to start. Thus if the business is a shop, then the income would be for a shopkeeper BASE income (4gm). For each additional owner, the business would bring in a number of mizas equaling one less. Thus if the before-mentioned shop has a base income of 4 gm, an additional owner would bring in 3 gm for that business for a total of 7 gm. If another owner was involved in the same shop, they would bring in 2 gm for a total of 9 gm.
This additional income is added to the Primary owner's business income as they are the one with the highest relevant skill and are the one who holds the majority interest in the business. Co-owners get the standard income that they would get if they owned their own business.
There is a limit of 3 co-owners in any business and the additional income for multiple owners is figured off of the BASE income for that particular business. Meaning, that it is figured off the listed incomes below without any skill bonuses added.
Skill bonuses still apply for the primary owner; this should be the one with the highest relevant skill used in that business.
Sales bonuses (up to 20%) only apply to the primary owner as well.
The primary owner of the business may not possess multiple occupations outside of their business.
Apprenticeships
Business owners may take on an apprentice in order to teach/pass on their skills in a particular trade. This is treated differently than the case of multiple owners. An apprentice gains a wage just like any other job with a base income based on the type of occupation they are apprenticing in. The wage is paid for by the one they are apprenticing for. For example, if someone is apprenticing as a blacksmith, they would get a base wage of 6 gm / day paid for by the one who they are apprenticed to.
The catch to this is that the apprentice, while learning the trade, contributes to the business through their work and assistance to the master. This assistance essentially pays for the apprentice's wage so that the master does not actually subtract the apprentice's wage from their business income.
The apprentice actually adds to the master's business income with their assistance. The added income to the master takes the form of half of the apprentice's base income value (without skill bonus) being added to the master's income. For example, an apprentice blacksmith with a base income of 6 gm / day would add 3 gm / day to their master's business income.
Only those with a Master level skill can apprentice someone. The apprentice may remain an apprentice until they reach an Expert level in the skill they are apprenticing in. Once the apprentice reaches Expert, they are no longer an apprentice. They may choose to go off on their own and start their own business or they may remain with the Master and continue to contribute to the business as a whole.
A business can only benefit from the added income bonus for a single apprentice no matter how many they may actually have.
Multiple Tradesmen vs Employees
Employees are classified as characters (NPC or PC) who work for a business in order to keep the business operating. These are clerks, assistants, laborers, etc. While they do contribute to the operation of the business, they are not usually significant to the overall growth of the business. A business may have as many employees as they feel necessary to run the business but they must pay the employees full wage from the business income. A balanced number of employees with relevant skills for the business that employs them may offer a sales bonus to said business and/or ingenuity creativity bonuses.
Tradesmen are those who own/run the business or who actively work to expand and grow the business in a more significant way. Former apprentices who remain with their masters and continue to contribute to the business are considered tradesmen. For example, two blacksmiths working in the same forge can produce more and offer more services than a single smith. To be considered a tradesman, one must have a competent level in the primary skill relevant to the business OR be the business owner.
A business owner cannot employ tradesmen who are of a higher skill level than they are. For example, a Novice blacksmith with their own forge cannot employ a Competent or higher blacksmith to work with them as a tradesman. The reasoning behind this is that if the tradesman is more skilled than the business owner, they would have their own business rather than simply being an employee.
The case of multiple tradesmen is different than multiple owners in that the primary owner owns the entirety of the business while the additional tradesmen is still something of an employee albeit more integral to what the business offers in the way of goods and services.
The trademan's wage is treated like that of the apprentice in that their contribution to the business essentially covers their wage while adding bonus income to the primary owner's business income in the form of half of their base income (minus skill bonuses). For example, a skilled blacksmith with a base income of 6 gm / day working for another blacksmith who owns their own forge would add half of their base income (3 gm / day) to the primary owner's business income.
Expert or Master Tradesmen who are employed by a business may offer additional sales bonuses on top of the additional income their contribution adds.
A business may employ any number of additional tradesmen however only the first one has their wage covered by their contribution and only the first one offers a bonus to the business income. Two or more additional tradesmen in a business requires that the business owner subtract the full wages for those individuals from the business income. (This is for the sake of balance in Mizahar's economic system)
PC Guilds, Gangs, Organizations
A business is but one type of income-producing entity. There are others that do not quite fit into the business model. These are generally classified as guilds or gangs; each being more of a generic term used to classify a number of different organizations. Guilds are generally more formal organizations that engage in a specific task, group of tasks or a purpose within a city. Mercenary groups, tradesmen cooperatives, formal religious groups, these are but a small few groups that fall within what it is to be a guild. They are more formal and structured with set purposes, goals and are usually accepted by the cities in which they reside.
Gangs tend to be a bit more loose in structure although not always. They are not typically supported by the cities they reside in and are generally not as formal in structure or purpose as guilds are. See Guilds and Gangs for more detailed information.
Occupations
Nearly all occupations require a specific skill or skills in order to gain access to said occupation. In the case of occupations with a wage range (example: 5-7gm), merely having the required skills at Novice will only earn the lowest end of the wage range. The higher your skill level in required skills, the higher the base wage.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Acolyte As with Priests, an Acoylte is a valued member of society and is more commonly encountered. They preach the word of their deity in the service of their church.

In addition, artists often delve into various types of crafts with the results being artistic and/or eccentric if not beautiful. | 4 gm | Assassin In a world where peace and civilization is broken, the prevalence of those who kill for others is high. While the actual deed of killing another can bring in a widely varied amount of mizas, there is often much more that goes into eliminating a target such as learning a target's schedule, behaviors, friends and family, etc. These too can bring an income as well. Like a mercenary, an assassin's income can vary. In even the most chaotic of societies, assassinations are often frowned on by some or all elements of the society. This can bring about dreadful consequences to the assassin if caught. Must have a Weapon skill and Poison skill (L3 in one, L2 in the other) Stealth, Impersonation, Subterfuge or Seduction (L2 in all or at least 3 out of 4) Blind Fighting, Escape Artist, Forgery, Cryptography, Intelligence, Unarmed Combat (L1 in all) and be regularly employed to earn the listed income. | 12 gm |

(Must have the magic skill of L2 Auristics to gain access to this occupation. L2 required for mid-range wage, L3 for highest end.) | 7-14 gm | Barmaid Barmaids are a common sight in any inn or tavern. Though anyone can serve a drink or carry a plate, a skilled barmaid brings beauty, personality and charm to the job. While there isn't a skill requirement to be a barmaid, one will not be able to advance in wages without at least one of the following: seduction, storytelling, persuasion, dance or any skill that lends to the service of customers. | 1-2 gm |

Prostitute One of the oldest known professions, prostitutes of many races, genders and ages ply their trade in all rungs of society in nearly every established city across Mizahar. In a time when most struggle to survive, prostitutes sell themselves in hopes of doing just that. The lives of these people are seldom easy and more often than not, the job brings about an immense amount of risk; risk of disease, bodily harm and/or death.

If they wish to be a magecrafter, they must have the magecrafting skill and so on. L2 required for mid-range wage, L3 for highest end.) | 7-14 gm |
Magic-Related Occupations
Anyone seeking an occupation that relies on any form of magic, magic-related skill or even gnosis, must have a specified employer who is already established within a given city in order to gain any form of regular income. Also, if they have an approved business they may also gain an income. What this means is that someone cannot simply act as a freelancer and to gain an income. They must meet one of the following requirements:
- Have an approved business plan that details out their magic-related business
OR
- Have an approved employer who is already established within the respective city
Note that in most cities, there isn't enough demand for the wandering mage for the mage to gain steady income on their own. Also, magic is not widely accepted by most average people throughout Mizahar which means there are few, if any who would pay for it. While a wizard can find employment from time to time using their talents, it is still rare and not guaranteed. Just because someone has the skill doesn't mean there is need enough for others to pay for it. For example, an Auristic, would have a terrible time trying to start an Auristic business in most cities. There isn't really much need for people to pay to have their auras read. They may however find employment working for someone who had need for such a thing.
The same is true for most other forms of magic. Most do not lend themselves well to business ownership yet can be valuable to the rare employer who can benefit from the wizard's magic.
Skills in magic disciplines are best for businesses when used to supplement a different primary skill. Creative use of magic in operating a business can add bonuses to the final income.
Yes, magic-related occupations are on the Income/Job list but they are rare and difficult to acquire.
Magecraft Occupation
The cost of starting up and running a Magecraft business can be quite restrictive for most characters. In order to sell any item that has been made through the use of Magecraft, one must put forth the mizas to produce it. The simplest Magecrafted trinket costs 1,000 gm to construct and that does not include the base item which must be purchased separately. The market value or the cost to purchase that same item from a Magesmith is x3 the base cost so that is at least 3,000 gm for an MC 1 item. Very few individuals, NPC or PC have the disposable funds to buy even the simplest Magecraft item. Much of the income that is gained by a Magecraft business is through the selling of reagents and related materials to other Magesmiths. Due to the extreme costs involved, it is almost impossible to see an item with an MC greater than 5 for public sale. In other words, a character WILL NOT get rich off Magecraft.
As far as starting a Magecraft business is concerned, any Magecraft items to be sold as part of the business price list must have their initial creation costs paid up front. So, if someone wishes to offer a single MC 2 item for sale in their shop, it will cost 1,700 gm just for the creation plus whatever it costs to make/purchase the base item.
STORYTELLERS, it is bad-form/HIGHLY FROWNED UPON to use NPC's to purchase individual items from PC Magesmiths as there is no accounting for the funds involved. Individual sales of Magecraft items should only be done through PC to PC transactions.
Living Expense
Just as one earns a number of mizas from an occupation or through adventuring, it also costs mizas to support their lifestyle, whatever that may be. While anyone can spend their lives in taverns and inns; many do, there are many more who choose other ways of living. Everyone, even the poorest of wretches, must somehow support their lifestyle. Below is a listing of the average cost of living for different lifestyles. The listing takes into account general maintenance (health, home, clothing), shelter, food and drink.
Pricing is listed in gold mizas per season (gm/s) and broken down further for reference into gold mizas per day (gm/day).
Important Note: You DON'T have to pay for living expenses in seasons you have ZERO threads in/inactive.
Item | Price | Item | Price | Item | Price |
Squalor The lowest form of civilized (barely) living. Includes sleeping on the streets or in the wild with little more than a overhang or tree for cover. Clothing is sack-cloth at best; usually in disrepair. Washing oneself consists of bathing in a stream or street puddle which is where drinking water would also be found. Food is either gathered, such as berries in the wild, eating garbage in a city or possible through begging or stealing. What cost is incurred from this lifestyle includes the occasional coppers one may get from begging or stealing in order to buy a bit of bred or a hunk of cheese or even the occasional sackcloth shirt or pants. | 5 gm/s (.05 gm/day) | Poor A common lifestyle found in Mizahar, the poor are overall, much better off than those living in squalor. This form of living includes sleeping in a tent either in or on the outskirts of a city or somewhere in the wilds. It may also include renting the occasional low-end room at an inn. Bathing oneself is often done either in streams and lakes in the wilds or via occasional visits to a bathhouse. Health is still not that great but better than those in squalor. Clothing is somewhat better than that found in squalor with sackcloth, cotton or linen being most common along with fur. Food and drink is usually found in taverns or inns along with a bit of begging and/or stealing. | 45 gm/s (.5 gm/day) | Common This form of living is one enjoyed by those possessing some form of relatively steady income. Often one owns their own home even if it is a simple one or involves somewhat regular visits to decent inns. Even those who live in a carriage or coach may fall into this lifestyle. Health is pretty good; mainly due to better food and overall living conditions. Clothing varies from linens and cotton to the occasional bit of silk and finer materials. Food and drink are purchased with mizas either from taverns and inns or from merchants operating food stalls or stores and can even come from skilled hunting and gathering in the wilds when necessary. Growing one's own food is also common. Bathing oneself is usually done in the home or through regular visits to a bathhouse. If in the wild, clean lakes or rivers may also be considered. | 135 gm/s (1.5 gm/day) |
Good This lifestyle is one envied by many. Those of some wealth enjoy this way of life; well-to-do merchants, successful adventurers, treasure-hunters or anyone else possessing higher than average income. One almost always owns their own home or spends a lot of time in good quality inns. Food and drink are of high quality, clean with a varied diet and are either purchased, grown, or otherwise acquired from good quality venders. Clothing is usually silk, velvet or fine linens and may include rare and exotic furs and hides. Health is very good and includes access and use of healers and medicines. Bathing takes place in one's own home or in some of the finer bathhouses. | 450 gm/s (5 gm/day) | Exquisite This is the lifestyle that most can ever hope to attain. It is the life lived by powerful merchants, racial nobility, politicians or great military leaders. One always owns their own, rather large, home and hardly ever requires use of an inn; they have fancy coaches and massive pavilion tents for that when traveling or find themselves guests of the wealthy and influential. Health is the finest with healers and medicines immediately available. Food and drink are of the finest quality and diets include rare and exotic delicacies. Clothing is nothing short of exquisite quality with some of the most expensive and rarest materials being quite common. Bathing is an amazing experience including the finest soaps and often someone else to assist in the process. | 675 gm/s (7.5 gm/day) |
Special Note: The listed costs per season for the different lifestyles assumes that a character has already purchased the type of items mentioned in each one and/or possesses the necessary status to be in that specific style. For example, if one wants to pay for an exquisite lifestyle each season, they first need to purchase a large, expansive home of some sort, make the initial purchase of the exquisite clothing and have attained the status of a powerful merchant, some form of what one would consider nobility, or be named a high ranking, highly skilled military leader. Most characters will start out at most, either poor (no source of steady income) or Common (having some type of occupation or other form of income). Depending on character concept and overall creation, one may even start out in squalor.
Lifestyles can be increased over time with sufficient in-thread effort thus bringing about greater resources which in turn allow for an increase in the quality of life.
Special circumstances may apply that transcend the above cost of living expenses. This may include things gained in-thread that would affect cost of living either positively or negatively such as being granted free lodging or in the case of Nuit who do not need worry about general health. When such special circumstances are applicable, mention should be made in one's character sheet regarding it.
