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.

: ▪&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]]. (Or known as ''instantkills'')
: ▪&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.

; [[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.

Welcome to the official Imperian Wiki, the comprehensive reference written and maintained by the players.

Summoner.jpg

From the notes of the Noctusari, circa 36 AM

"The Summoner, is not simply intellectualism, but rather the strenuous enslavement of power. … Yet, at the end of it all, the Summoner has, and should always remain, the heartbeat of the Noctusari - not for antiquation, not for legacy, but rather because the definition of Power is simply and undeniably Transcendent when you conquer that which defies subjugation."

"A shattered moon. Resurgent magick throughout a divided and desperate land lit by three orphans. A stolen sun and the death of the Old Gods. Beset on all sides by the Horde, Demonic forces and the Unliving, the heroes of Aetherius strive for supremacy over their enemies, each other and the hopelessness following the loss of their Gods."

"It is the Age of Mortality, mortal, and will you be the next champion of Aetherius?"
