Spoiler warning: information below includes details, such as solutions to puzzles or quest procedures, that you may prefer to discover on your own.
This is a male human with golden skin, white hair, and sparkling sky blue eyes. He is completely nude, but does not seem particularly aware of it. This is Tyrice, also known as Amon Tyrice, also known as the Traveler. His history on Lost Souls extends far beyond the lifetime of most humans. He founded and disbanded the Astromancers, a group of magi who trafficked in strange cosmic energies. Many years later, after his supposed death, he reappeared, empowered by unknown parties to be able to produce wondrous effects of conjuration. His followers became known as Travelers, for their ability and propensity to roam everywhere in the known cosmos. Most recently he has become something of a high priest for Ganesha, god of freedom, travels, gateways, and obstacles. It is unknown whether this is what was empowering him all along or if it is a recent conversion. Evidence for the former is that his followers, priests of Ganesha, still call themselves Travelers, and exhibit largely the same abilities as before -- though with a decidedly more devotional bent. He looks about eighteen dimins tall, five and thirteen twentieths dimins wide and one and two fifths dimins long. He is in good shape, is surrounded by an aura of cosmic star-filled blue and is giving off light. He has a vishuddha chakra on his throat, a svadhisthana chakra on his lower abdomen, a sahasrara chakra above his head, a red glyph between his legs, a yellow glyph on his solar plexus, a green glyph on his upper chest and an indigo glyph on his forehead.
You can ask Tyrice to tell you about katakacha, chakras, dharma, karma, karma phala, conceptual navigation, Ganesha, obstacles, the map here, or the Travelers.
To join the Travelers, tell Tyrice that you want to become one. To leave, tell him that you wish to leave them. Be warned that leaving Ganesha's favor incurs certain penalties until one has regained it.
Tyrice is an instructor and responds to the following verbal commands: Availability inquiry: Tyrice, what do you teach? Cost inquiry: Tyrice, what would a lesson in <subject> cost? Instruction request: Tyrice, teach me <subject(s)>.
I had to be Charitable before Tyrice would allow me to join the Travelers. I was Patterned as well, but I don't know if there was a law/chaos requirement.
His limbs are named head, chest, right arm, left arm, right hand, left hand, right leg, left leg, right foot and left foot. Tyrice is an instructor and responds to the following verbal commands: Availability inquiry: Tyrice, what do you teach? Cost inquiry: Tyrice, what would a lesson in <subject> cost? Instruction request: Tyrice, teach me <subject(s)>.

Tyrice says, (o You must trust me to receive a challenge from Ganesha. o) in Anglic.
You say, [- i want to become a traveler -] in beautifully-accented Anglic. You no longer specialize in scholarship. You are now a first-degree specialist in abjuration, conjuration, goetic investiture, invocation, order affinity, sephirotic affinity, and theurgy. Golden-skinned male human says, (o Excellent! May your journeys be long and enlightening. o) (o Traveler Tyrice o) "Evoke has joined our fold."
You shout, - I want to become a Traveler - in gurgling Anglic.

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' 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.
The invocations known to you are as follows:
Gajakarnikaya Gam Ganapataye Ganadhyakshaya
Kadantaya Kapilaya Kshipra Prasadaya
Lambodaraya Sharananm Shree Ganesh
Vighna Nashanaya Vikataya Vahana
Dhimahi Pancharatnam
Note: Various invocations improve based on their determinant skills. Sonority represents how close a Traveler is to the maximum effective ability of each.
Dhimahi
the invocation Dhimahi
Energy Costs : five hundred points of spiritual energy
Invocation Mantra : o lord Ganesha, whose massive body is supreme and perfect, to whom we
meditate and pray and bow and revere, let it be known to you that it is known to <target> that the most
severe obstacle brings the most lucid enlightenment
Those who are serious about enlightenment can receive an advanced challenge, which has not only an
obstacle and a requirement, but also a taboo and a forfeit. The taboo is something that must not be
done. If the taboo is violated, then the challenge ends in failure, and a punishment, the forfeit, is
brought down upon the challengee. These challenges are considerably more difficult but also considerably
more rewarding than ordinary challenges.
For this invocation to work, the target must explicitly trust you; Ganesha will not inflict these
challenges upon those that do not desire them. If the target completes this challenge, it will be partly
by your action that this result came about, and your karma phala will perforce increase.

Invocation Mantra : o Ganesha, lord of all journeys and travel, who wanders and gathers
knowledge into his great belly, let me mark the significance of this place for my own journeys; count it

or use as a landmark on one's future journeys.

the mouse and the peacocke and the horse, placer of obstacles, <target> requests enlightenment and challenge
Ganesha can place an obstacle for one who requests it, even if he is not a Traveler himself. For this
invocation to work, the target must explicitly trust you; Ganesha will not inflict these challenges upon
those that do not desire them. If the target completes this challenge, it will be partly by your action
that this result came about, and your karma phala will perforce increase.

Kadantaya
the invocation Kadantaya
Energy Costs : one hundred points of spiritual energy
Invocation Mantra : o lord Ganesha, the elephant-faced who is like the sun to the lotus-faced
Parvati, placer of obstacles, grant me a challenge so that I might find wisdom
Ganesha not only removes but places obstacles. The primary mode of adoration of a Traveler is to request
one deliberately in obsecration. By reciting this mantra, one entreats Ganesha to both show one a path,
and to bar it. Finding one's way to the end of the path in spite of the obstacle will remove the
obstacle, bring a direct divine reward from Ganesha, and increasing one's karma phala, enlightenment, and
freedom.

Invocation Mantra : o lord Ganesha, god of molten gold and master of all colors, I offer you
obeisance and ask for <"a"/"an" weapon type>
Once one has summoned a katakacha, this invocation requests of Ganesha to serve as a divine intermediary
between one and one's katakacha, to communicate to the katakacha the shape that one is envisioning. The
shapes that one knows are dependent on one's weapon lore.

Invocation Mantra : o lord Ganesha, master of all obstacles, for whom chaos never was and
never will be, in my time of need help me see the path that I walk, the path starting when the world
hatched from its egg, ending in eternity
This invocation entreats Ganesha for a brahmanda-prakasa, a world-egg, a reflection of the cosmos at its
birth. The brahmanda-brakasa manifests itself as an aura of starry, cosmic energy. The aura will
protect one in innumerable ways. The higher one's karma phala, and ability with this invocation, the
more effective its protection will be. To release the brahmanda-prakasa, repeat the invocation.
The aura can synchronize with one's chakras, if one has any. Which chakra it is attuned to will affect
its protective properties. To change the chakra it is attuned to, simply tap the desired chakra.

Lambodaraya
the invocation Lambodaraya

Invocation Mantra : o leader of the pramada ganas, one who is the color of vermillion, with
an elephant's visage and a hanging belly, I offer obeisance to you first, and ask that you grant me a
tool with which I may seek more knowledge
This invocation requests of Ganesha that he offer you a divinely mediated bond with a katakacha, a
sessile, metamorphic creature made of beautiful crystal. Katakacha are an ancient people who were nearly
driven to extinction by the kazar until a climatic intervention by Ganesha preserved them. They aid the
Travelers out of gratitude for this act.
A katakacha conjured in this manner will remain with one permanently. If it is ever lost or destroyed
for some reason, performing this mantra again will conjure another.

Pancharatnam
the invocation Pancharatnam

Invocation Mantra : o lord Ganesha, who holds the divine joy in his hand as modaka, who holds the
digit of Ganapati, send me one of the five gems that encircle Yama, that the vahana you have granted me
may be protected from demons and bear me forth upon the paths of enlightenment.
This invocation requests of Ganesha that he send unto your mount a kabatha, a form of divine armour
to protect one's vahana.
A kabatha conjured in this manner will remain with one's vahana permanently. If it is ever lost
or destroyed for some reason, performing this mantra again will conjure another. Reciting this
invocation can also banish a kabatha, if one is present upon one's mount.

Invocation Mantra : o omnipresent Ganesha, pure and peaceful doer of all good, shield the
world from fear and anger so that we can see thee everywhere and at all times
This mantra entreats Ganesha to destroy any kazar blades present on the invoker and to empower the
invoker as a reward. The reasons for the effects of this mantra are obscured in history, but it is
generally thought to be related to the sacred nature of the katakacha.

Note: Kazarithax weapons are also destroyed via this invocation, not just the bondable type.
Shree Ganesh
the invocation Shree Ganesh
Energy Costs : five points of spiritual energy
Invocation Mantra : o lord Ganesha, radiant as millions of suns, remove your obstacles from
<my/target's> path
The Shree Ganesh mantra allows the Traveler to entreat Ganesha to remove one of his obstacles from those
who have been unable to overcome it themselves. For one to perform this on a person besides oneself,
that person must explicitly trust the Traveler.
An obstacle removed in this way is tantamount to yielding to a challenge. Ganesha is kind enough to
remove an obstacle from any who need it, but firm enough to show no charity beyond mercy for the yielder.
The challenger will receive none of the benefits for overcoming it, other than the removable of the
obstacle, and the challenger will not be able to receive a new challenge from Ganesha for an extended
period of time -- usually around a day, but sometimes considerably shorter or longer depending on the
difficulty of the challenge. The challenger will also suffer a decrease in karma phala proportional to
the difficulty of the challenge, that is, equal to twice the amount they would have gained had they
completed it.

Energy Costs : one hundred points of spiritual energy
Invocation Mantra : o rider of the five vahanas, I besearch you that you grant me one, that I
may travel to further lands and know more distant knowledge, that I may find greater obstacles and
deliver more obstacles
This invocation requests of Ganesha that he offer you a divinely mediated bond with an amphiptere, a
winged serpent, to serve as a holy mount.
An amphiptere conjured in this manner will remain with one permanently. If you ever become separated
from your serpent, performing this mantra again will summon it to your side once more.
Development Information : This invocation was created by Den and is maintained by Twilight; the
source code was last updated Sat Jul 02 16:48:02 2011.
You say, [- o rider of the five vahanas, I besearch you that you grant me one, that I may travel to further lands and know more distant knowledge, that I may find greater obstacles and deliver more obstacles -] in Archaen. You stop meditating. You feel a bit groggy, coming out of your meditative state. Tiny iridescent motes of light surround your mouth as it gives form to the words; you feel Ganesha's influence begin to flow through you. You concentrate and let Ganesha's influence continue to build within you. You cannot begin meditating because you are busy performing the invocation vahana. A sonorous ring fills the air, as though a chime has been sounded. You sense Ganesha working across cosmic distances, and feel the beginnings of a strange emotional bond. You sense a new emotional need opening up within you -- an incompleteness you never fully grasped, the need for a true soulmate of some kind -- along with the desire and ability to fulfill that need and to complete yourself. The huge red-winged green-scaled serpent appears in the air in a burst of prismatic sparks. The huge red-winged green-scaled serpent flies to your side. You feel spiritually exhausted but deeply contented, as though you have been made more complete. The huge red-winged green-scaled serpent is limned with an enormous faintly shimmering dark green dweomer aura. Your hair turns green.

appearance, help me see this world as a dream and a drama, and let me dance across the texts that give
everyone a role, and let me find myself in the <nth> passage I have marked
This invocation allows one to use the power of Ganesha to skip across the symbolic space that is the
foundation for all cosmoi, and traverse the universe conceptually rather than physically. The frequency
with which one can use this invocation depends upon one's ability in it.

Weapon
The traveler weapon, the katakacha, can take nearly any weapon form. It will also be periodically enhanced in several ways. Per Twilight, these are endurance restoration, spirit restoration, order favour boost, and a weapon/speed enhancement. The effectiveness of these enhancements is determined by your ability to commune with Ganesha, driven by your 3 affinity skills: order, holy, and magick.
In addition to discharging various elements into one's attacker and performing a coup de grace on mortally wounded opponents, travelers can also obtain a bestowal that allows the katakacha to dispel an opponent's protective enchantments and disarm (and potentially teleport to a random location somewhere in the world, lol) wielded shields. -- Marcosy

Chakra Bonuses
The aura can also provide a variety of additional resistances that are determined by what Chakra your Aura is linked to. This linking is done by simply tapping a given Chakra, or Glyph if unidentified. The resistances granted are enumerated below, with the degree of maximum possible resistance granted (modified by your Sonority with the Kshipra Prasadaya invocation).

([OOC Xaolyn] target's gotta be something capable of abstraction with less than 100 gold) ([OOC Flix] Giving 1000 gold to two dracon citizens in different areas of Shatterspire worked for me) (Ralnos murmurs, "Try beggars in Losthaven and revellers in the Temple of Discordia as well.")
- Ganesha has given you a challenge, guiding a neophyte in your capacity as a Warden. You will need to help the neophyte advance in levels.

- You sense a powerful force proscribing you and anyone around you from using magick.
- You feel a sudden disorientation, as if the question of where you are is ambiguous and ill-defined. (Decontextualization: Uncontrollable conceptual navigation!)
- Vulnerability, which selects a random hylic affinity skill and give you a big negative modifier to it.
- Harassment, which involves gratuitous divine persecution. (An orb of epiphany glides from nowhere toward you and zots your head, chest, right leg, and right foot.)
