Rumors say that Kalyxes's death produces the same effect. \=\ \=\ \=\ \=\ Stalkers now require skill in spatiomancy in order to create \=\ \=\ portals to the desired destination every time. Kalyxes now teaches \=\ \=\ spatiomancy. \=\ \=\ \=\ \=\ Some revisions have been made to the association; you can now \=\ \=\ only create portals to and from planes bordering on the Umbra, \=\ \=\ which at this time means only within the Prime plane. You also \=\ \=\ have a new command, 'determine plane', which will show you what \=\ \=\ plane you are on at any time. \=\ \=\ \=\ \=\ --Chaos (2000/05/25) \=\ \=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\
\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\ \=\ \=\ \=\ The Stalkers of the Gate are the elite, reserve force of the Shadow \=\ \=\Lord Kalyxes, the creator and owner of Shadow Tower. In days gone by \=\ \=\the Stalkers of the Gate would go out in the land and kill or capture \=\ \=\creatures which upset the balance Kalyxes was trying so hard to obtain. \=\ \=\Now with his prison he is more or less content with the balance of the \=\ \=\world, and has put the Stalkers of the Gate on reserve. \=\ \=\ \=\ \=\ The Stalkers of the Gate see movement as paramount, and Kalyxes \=\ \=\found that creating portals to preset locations was the best way to \=\ \=\accomplish rapid movement. \=\ \=\ \=\ \=\ Members recieve their powers from the marble amulet which \=\ \=\Kalyxes gives them upon entering the Stalkers of the Gate. This amulet \=\ \=\cannot be removed, ensuring loyalty to Kalyxes, the Shadow Lord. Another \=\ \=\worthwhile note is that members may only have a difference of one item in \=\ \=\terms of holy vs. unholy items they are carrying. For example, if a Stalker \=\ \=\is carrying two holy items, and no unholy items, the amulet will begin to \=\ \=\melt into them, until they have balanced themselves either by getting an \=\ \=\unholy item, or by dropping one of their holy items. \=\ \=\ \=\ \=\ Stalkers of the Gate can set their present location as a destination \=\ \=\for one of their portals via the command 'link portal here', and they may \=\ \=\remove a portal destination with 'unlink portal #', where # is the portal \=\ \=\number they wish to remove. They may also list their current portal \=\ \=\destinations using the command 'portals'. \=\ \=\ \=\ \=\ Stalkers create portals through the command 'conjure portal to #', \=\ \=\where # is the portal number destination they would like to create the \=\ \=\portal to. Once the portal has been created, it will last for only a \=\ \=\short time; usually less than a minute. Portals may be entered, or looked \=\ \=\through, to see where they lead. A stalker may also 'conjure random portal', \=\ \=\to create a portal to a random location. \=\ \=\ \=\ \=\ Creating a portal is not without cost, however, as it requires an \=\ \=\expenditure of both spiritual and physical energy on the part of the Stalker. \=\ \=\The exertion necessary is greatly reduced if the Stalker is conjuring a portal\=\ \=\to or from the Umbra, and even moreso if conjuring a portal from one location \=\ \=\to another within it. \=\ \=\ \=\ \=\ The amulet's magicks also empower a Stalker to easily determine what \=\ \=\plane of existence he is on at any time through the command 'determine plane'.\=\ \=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\\=\
