The world of [[Geography|Aetherius]] was designed with [[Player Killing]] in mind. The primary metric of victory in [[Player Killing]] is the [[death]] of your opponent.

<!--Basics: content-->
; [[Running the game]]
; [[Character creation]]
: ▪&nbsp;[[Personal&nbsp;Histories]]
: ▪&nbsp;[[Races]] ▪&nbsp;[[Professions]] ▪&nbsp;[[Guilds]]
: ▪&nbsp;[[Nation States|Cities & Councils]] ▪&nbsp;[[Circles]]


This can be achieved in two ways -
; [[Character]]s
* Dealing damage until their [[Health]] reaches zero.
: ▪&nbsp;[[Health & Mana]] ▪&nbsp;[[Death]]  
* Performing a [[Professions|profession]]-specific ability that slays them regardless of [[Health]]. Examples include [[Necromancy_(Abilities)#Vivisect|Vivisect]], [[Voice_Abilities#Kantae|Kantae]] and [[Bowmanship_Abilities#Incendiary|Incendiary]]
: ▪&nbsp;[[Stats]] ▪&nbsp;[[Skills]] ▪&nbsp;[[Learning]]
: ▪&nbsp;[[Curatives]] ▪&nbsp;[[Equipment]] ▪&nbsp;[[Artifacts]]  


[[Player Killing]] is a two-way street, so be sure that while you attempt to kill your opponent, they will be attempting to kill you at the same time.
; [[Your Account]]
: ▪&nbsp;[[Credits]] ▪&nbsp;[[Elite]]


[[Afflictions]] are then a second dynamic in [[Player Killing]]. They are statuses on your character until they are [[Cures|cured]], and inflict a variety of effects on you. For example, [[paralysis]] stops you from attacking, [[dizziness]] makes you walk east when you intend to walk west, and [[healthleech]] periodically drains your [[Health|health]]. Players can and will use [[Afflictions|afflictions]] to try and hinder your offense while augmenting their own.
| class="content separator" style="padding-left: 1em;text-align: left;" |
<!--Gameplay: content-->
; [[Combat]]
: ▪&nbsp;[[Damage]] ▪&nbsp;[[Afflictions]] ▪&nbsp;[[Curing]]  
: ▪&nbsp;[[Balance and Equilibrium]] ▪&nbsp;[[Defences]]  
; [[Player versus Environment]]
: ▪&nbsp;[[Bashing areas]] ▪&nbsp;[[Quests]] ▪&nbsp;[[NPCs]]


This second dynamic (of afflictions) introduces the concepts of '''damage''' and '''affliction''' [[Professions|professions]]. (Or known as ''classes'')
; [[Combat#Player vsPlayer|Player vs Player (PvP)]]
: ▪&nbsp;[[1v1]] ▪&nbsp;[[Coliseum]] ▪&nbsp;[[Combat Rankings]]
: ▪&nbsp;[[King of The Hill|KoTH]] ▪&nbsp;[[Gemhunt]]
: ▪&nbsp;[[Aspects#Monoliths|Monoliths]] ▪&nbsp;[[Obelisks]]


As a rule of thumb, '''damage''' classes dish out large amounts of damage and if you are not careful in timing blocks and/or shielding, you will succumb quickly.
; [[Roleplay]] : ▪&nbsp;[[:Category:Player Stories|Player Stories]]
; [[Politics]]


On the flipside, '''affliction''' classes tend to deal smaller amounts of damage, and they primarily achieve victory by overwhelming your curing with [[Afflictions|afflictions]] until you are no longer able to move and/or attack, and then perform their professions instantkill on you.

It is not quite certain how the Kohdon evolved, for they suddenly appeared from within the jungle foliage, taking their place within the society of Imperian culture.
 
Preferring their jungle homes, many of these lizard-like beings can still be found throughout Imperian...
