Trailblazing encompasses the skill of the survivalist. When an individual treks the vast unknown, they rely on themselves and the wilderness to sustain them. Traveling for days on end for a specific cause, or merely to survive in the harsh wilderness forces a person to develop skills and abilities to protect them.

Analyse
ANALYSE <target>
Analysing a target will show you a detailed status report on the physical and mental state of a target.
Bounty
When drinking a health or mana elixir, you will receive a bonus to the amount of health or mana that will be restored.
The amount of the bonus is dependent on the sum of your lessons learnt in Trailblazing and Concoctions, with a maximum bonus equivalent to that of Transcendent in one of those skills.
Nightsight
NIGHTSIGHT
Your time spent in the wilds has trained your eyes to see moreeffectively in the dark.
Weathering
WEATHERING
Your budding control over your body will assist you in weathering the storm of life by increasing your constitution by one point.
Scan
SCAN SKIES|TREES
You have become so attuned with the world around you that you are able to detect people and creatures above you.
Fitness
FITNESS
With the increased lung power you have gained from your wandering, you are able to resist becoming out of breath.
Watching
WATCH <direction> UNWATCH
By attuning your senses in a specified direction, you will be able to hear and see much of what goes on in an adjacent room.
Stalk
STALK <person|creature>
Searching for faint disturbances in the local area, you may be able to tell the general direction in which your quarry lies. The effectiveness of your tracking is dependent on how much of the world you have explored.
Encampment
BUILD ENCAMPMENT [ENCLOSED] STOKE ENCAMPMENT
Requires:
Three wood for building (two wood in forest environments)
One wood for stoking
Two cloth if enclosed
The fire in an encampment will grant warmth and protection to you and your allies, and prevent most wild animals from wandering in.
Optionally, you can build an enclosed encampment, at the cost of two cloth commodities. An enclosed encampment makes the location indoors, in addition to providing the other encampment effects.
Landstriding
Using your knowledge of the woodlands of Aetherius, you may now travel more quickly through the forests. If you also have the 'Affinity' ability in Hunting, you will also gain the benefit of this ability in the environment that you have chosen as your affinity.
Barkskin
BARKSKIN
This ability will cause your skin to become as bark, providing an increased measure of protection vs. attacks doing physical damage.
Roasting
ROAST <corpse>
Requires: An encampment
You may roast the corpse of any creature or player over a fire in an encampment. While not particularly tasty, eating one's prey has kept many alive in the wilderness. The amount by which the meat will fill you is dependent on the strength of the creature roasted.
Memorise
MEMORISE ROOM TRACK/STALK MEMORISED
You are able to imprint the landmarks and details of the surrounding area in your mind, allowing you to track to that location, should you be close enough.
Deadaim
DEADAIM ON/OFF
While slightly draining on your mana, you will concentrate more intently upon hitting the vital areas of your opponents with strategic blows.
Secure
SECURE WIELDED UNSECURE WIELDED
Securing your weapons to your wrists with thin strips of leather will make it very difficult to knock them out of your grasp.
Crimsonflames
SPRINKLE RED INK
Requires: an encampment
Demonkind are a blight to the natural flow of life, and frequently stain the wilds with their foul existence. Your knowledge of the wilds has taught you that a combination of plants and dyes, in the form of various inks, can attract, captivate, and damage demons. The red ink will attract the lowest orders of demons.
Bandages
APPLY BANDAGES [<target>]
Requires: Two cloth
By applying bandages to yourself or others, you can drastically alter the amount of health one will lose to open wounds. The bandages will last until they are too loaded with blood to be effective.
It is important to note that bandages do -not- reduce the actual bleeding amount - they only prevent the health loss.
Vitality
VITALITY
A surge of andrenalin will heal you when you are near death.
Season
SEASON <meat>
Requires: an encampment
Seasoning the meat that you have roasted will preserve it for a considerable amount of time, but will reduce its nutritional value.

THROW TORCH [<dir>] AT <target>
Requires: an encampment
You may pick a burning log up out of the fire of an encampment and hurl it at a target, who may be in the same room as you or in an adjacent room.

Requires: Five corpses, a dagger, an encampment
Skinning the corpses of creatures will give you hides, which you can then use to craft a cloak.
Conceal Weapons
CONCEAL WEAPONS
Requires: a cloak crafted from the skins of your prey
Concealing your weapons underneath your cloak will prevent their observation by casual means, and will also prevent others from seeing you wield/unwield them.
Lifesense
LIFESENSE ON/OFF
Due to your attunement with the lands, you are able to sense hidden beings within the landscape.
Narcal
Syntax: PRESERVE TOXIN NARCAL IN <vial>
Requires: two parts rattlesnake venom
The narcal toxin causes its victim to become addicted to elixirs.
This toxin only has effect when used on icecoated and blackened spears or tridents. Unlike regular toxins, it is not cured by purging one's blood.
Camouflage
APPLY CAMOUFLAGE SCRUB CAMOUFLAGE (in water)
Requires: Charcoal and wormwood
Applying camouflage will prevent you from being easily detected, as well as making it nearly impossible to be followed by anyone but your allies.
Amberglow
Syntax: SPRINKLE YELLOW INK
Requires: an encampment
The presence of yellow ink in a fire will harm the third order of demonkind.
Keeneye
Your knowledge of the lands gives you a greater sense of where hidden exits are likely to be found in the area.
Nyordian
PRESERVE TOXIN NYORDIAN IN <vial>
Requires: one part frog, spider, and fire ant venoms

Requires: one part frog, centipede, and fire ant venoms
This toxin only has effect when used on icecoated and blackened spears or tridents. Unlike regular toxins, it is not cured by purging one's blood.
Mark
MARK RETURN
You may swiftly run back to your memorised location, after waiting a short while to remember it.
Bodyheat
While wearing a cloak crafted from the skins of your prey, the amount of damage you would receive from heat and cold is decreased. The strength of your cloak is dependent on the hides of the creatures used to make it.
Rejuvenate
REJUVENATE
This ability will allow you to rejuvenate land that has been exterminated by a foul Necromancer. It requires the presence of a cube of elemental ice in your inventory.
Sleeplessness
Your time spent in the wild has trained you to awaken from sleeping faster than normally.
This ability is automatically in effect.
Emeraldblaze
SPRINKLE GREEN INK
A green fire will harm the highest order of demons.
Pursue
PURSUE <target> PURSUE NONE
Pursuing a target will give you constant feedback on your target's location, movement, and general state of health.
Whitesight
Your attuned senses allow you to see things even in the most horrible of weather conditions.
Prowling
PROWLING ON|OFF
This ability will allow you to walk without being attacked by any aggressive creatures of the wilds. City guards and entities loyal to players will not be fooled, however. Any aggressive action will stop this.
You must be camouflaged in order to use it successfully.
Scout
SCOUT AREA [PLAYERS/CREATURES/ADJACENT/ALL] [<search term>]
Your knowledge of the area around you is such that you are now able to learn much about what is going on around you.
You may also apply a search term to pare down the results of your scouting. Scouting with a search term will have a higher equilibrium cost.
Campground
SETUP CAMPGROUND TRACK/STALK CAMPGROUND BREAKDOWN CAMPGROUND STOKE CAMPGROUND RETURN TO CAMPGROUND
Requires: Five cloth, ten wood
The quintessential dwelling of the Trailblazer, the campground is an extreme upgrade from a simple encampment. While in the campground, you and your allies will benefit from enhanced health and endurance regeneration, the protection of an indoor location, and will require far less sleep.
In addition, you will now be able to track to your campground, provided you are close enough to it and are knowledgeable enough of the area around it.
The smoke rising from the fire will warn of shrouded figures attemping to enter the campground.
Coloured fires within a campground will also cause greater harm to demons that happen to enter it.
You may only have one campground at a time, and a constructed campground will last for three months.
You are able to STOKE the campground, extending its lifetime by half an Imperian month. This requires one wood commodity.
Breaking down a campground will remove the campground, giving you some portion of the commodities used in its construction, depending on how long the campground has been built.
You can also use RETURN TO CAMPGROUND to return to your campground.
