 +==Guild Main Helpfile==
 + You are a Traveler, a wandering priest of priest of Ganesha, lord of
 + gateways, places and remover of obstacles, guide to enlightenment,
 + protector to freedom.
 +
 + A Traveler's primary task is overcoming obstacles: overcoming them
 + himself, and helping others overcome them. As he does so, he will find
 + himself rewarded by Ganesha in many ways. These rewards are called
 + bestowals, and they are primarily of two types: recurring boons, most of
 + which can be acquired by anyone, and more permanent boons that can be
 + acquired only by Travelers. You have acquired twenty permanent bestowals.
 +
 + Travelers spend their lives spreading freedom and enlightenment,
 + journeying across the world and doing good deeds, in a never-ending quest
 + to better their understanding of kharma and dharma. Doing so brings them
 + closer to Ganesha, makes their invocations and powers more effective,
 + enables them to discover hidden energy stores in themselves in the form of
 + chakras, allowed them to live longer -- and has other, still stranger
 + effects.
 +
 + As a Traveler you are able to invoke Ganesha to various effects. See
 + 'help [[#invocations|invocations]]' for more details.
 + 
 +==Invocations==
 + You are able to invoke Ganesha by reciting certain mantras to him in
 + Archaen. More invocations will be revealed to you the more obstacles you
 + overcome. Each invocation has its own help file. You must be in a fairly
 + calm state to invoke Ganesha; you cannot invoke him while moving around or
 + fighting.

Guild Main Helpfile

        You are a Traveler, a wandering priest of priest of Ganesha, lord of
    gateways, places and remover of obstacles, guide to enlightenment,
    protector to freedom. 

        A Traveler's primary task is overcoming obstacles: overcoming them
    himself, and helping others overcome them.  As he does so, he will find
    himself rewarded by Ganesha in many ways.  These rewards are called
    bestowals, and they are primarily of two types: recurring boons, most of
    which can be acquired by anyone, and more permanent boons that can be
    acquired only by Travelers.  You have acquired twenty permanent bestowals.

        Travelers spend their lives spreading freedom and enlightenment,
    journeying across the world and doing good deeds, in a never-ending quest
    to better their understanding of kharma and dharma.  Doing so brings them
    closer to Ganesha, makes their invocations and powers more effective,
    enables them to discover hidden energy stores in themselves in the form of
    chakras, allowed them to live longer -- and has other, still stranger
    effects.
