Almanac Format
This section lists the names of important people at any given entry. The format is as follows:
Name and title or occupation, race, gender, class/level, description, detailed abilities. Note that the level of description varies with each character, from a basic listing to an in-depth entry.
We at the Mystaran Almanac endeavour to be at the forefront of innovation and make the almanac as convenient as possible. This is why I must touch upon our using the latest in the codification of people's skills. Throughout its existence the almanac series has used various such codifications, with each evolution an effort to simplify and clarify the readability of the talents possessed by the various rulers, heroes and villains that are prominent in our beloved world of Mystara, and which as such are the main contenders in the Mystaran Almanacs. Although our goal is to make things more convenient for you, the reader, we realise that it may also be confusing at times.
There are several codifications in use to represent the abilities of people. Most unfortunately, not everyone uses the same system, and old classifications are still strongly in use. Moreover, each system has many, many variants. Let's review the main variants, which at one time or another were all used in the almanac series.
The oldest known system is retroactively called "zeroeth" edition (0E), though it is also occasionally called original edition (typically by Alphatian scholars) or old edition (typically by Thyatian scholars), with the more neutral zeroeth being used by, well, the more neutral scholars. There never was a first edition (1E), or it was totally lost to time and decay; some sages speculate to its existence, but then the civilisation that would have used it would have disappeared without a trace. We also have no knowledge of prior systems, like that which much have existed at the time of fabled Blackmoor or even earlier. 0E is a nice, simple system, brought to Mystara by the Alphatians two millennia ago; it was originally used by Alphatian wizards to rank themselves without duelling. It is used throughout the Alphatian Empire and in Glantri, and is also used by many sages of the Old World and beyond. It was used in the Poor Wizard's Almanacs for the years AC 1010 and 1011.
This system has endured despite the introduction of the second edition (2E) by the Thyatians shortly after the crowning of their first emperor. At the time, the Thyatians argued that the Alphatian system was too simplistic and could not be used to fully describe every combination of talents and abilities; it is likely, though, that this was yet another weaving of theirs to put themselves apart from their former masters in their efforts to forge a Thyatian identity and to build their empire. In any case, the Thyatian sages and bureaucrats created a complicated system that was supposed to have the capacity of codifying any person's abilities, though 2E had to be tweaked a lot through the centuries to accomplish that. This system is used throughout the Thyatian Empire where it almost completely replaced 0E, and is also used by many sages in the Old World and beyond, though it never quite picked up in Alphatia where it was deemed too cumbersome. It was used in the Poor Wizard's Almanac for the year AC 1012 and in Joshuan's Almanac for the year AC 1013, as well as in the Mystaran Almanacs for the years AC 1014 to 1018 (this year).
When he ascended the throne after the death of his father, Emperor Eusebius commanded-along several other reforms in various fields such as taxes, the army, and others-the complete revision and simplification of the second edition. The result was called third edition (3E). It is a very new system that incorporates the simplicity of 0E (2E had gone far from 0E in a probably deliberate attempt to dissociate things Thyatian from things Alphatian) yet allows for flexibility and the thoroughness of 2E. Time will tell if this system keeps its promise, but already it is replacing 2E in the Thyatian Empire (and is spreading to the rest of the Old World and beyond at a slower, though probably inexorable, rate); what speaks most in favour of 3E however is the fact that it is increasingly adopted by Alphatian sages, even in the Hollow World, and the mysterious organisation known as the Lighthouse is rumoured to be considering switching to 3E as well. It was used partially (alongside 2E) in the Mystaran Almanacs for the years AC 1017 and 1018 (this year).
Thus this edition of the almanac, for the year AC 1019, uses both 2E and 3E, as we-like many-are still in the process of converting our files from 2E to 3E. We are stuck at an early stage of the process, though, even as we are preparing to publish this year's almanac, so like last year most of the capsules will be presented in the prior system, which is 2E. 2E codification can be recognised as it follows this representation:
Class/level is presented in the form of a letter (or more) followed by a number, such as F6 or T12. The number indicates level, while the letter represents the class according to the following legend (in 2E terms):
| F = Fighter | M = Mage |
| Pa = Paladin | M(ab) = Abjurer |
| R = Ranger | M(co) = Conjurer |
| T = Thief | M(di) = Diviner |
| B = Bard | M(en) = Enchanter |
| C = Cleric | M(il) = Illusionist |
| Pr = Priest | M(in) = Invoker |
| Pr(dr) = Druid | M(ne) = Necromancer |
| Pr(cr) = Crusader | M(tr) = Transmuter |
| Pr(de) = Defender | WD = Witch-Doctor |
| Pr(mk) = Monk | (others) |
Entries in 3E format can be recognised as they follow this representation:
Class/level is presented in the form of three letters followed by a number, such as Ftr6 or Rog12. The number indicates level, while the letters represent the class according to the following legend (in 3E terms):
| Ftr = Fighter | Wiz = Wizard |
| Pal = Paladin | Abj = Abjurer |
| Rgr = Ranger | Cjr = Conjurer |
| Rog = Rogue | Div = Diviner |
| Brd = Bard | Enc = Enchanter |
| Bur = Buraiya | Evo = Evoker |
| Clr = Cleric | Ill = Illusionist |
| Drd = Druid | Nec = Necromancer |
| Mnk = Monk | Tra = Transmuter |
| Bbn = Barbarian | Sor = Sorcerer |
| Ari = Aristocrat | (others) |
In addition, for ease of distinction, entries in 3E format are marked "(3E)" after the class/level.

Hara Rudraksha, Maharajah of Peshmir.
Eldest son of the Maharajah of Kadesh, Hara was groomed nearly from birth to join the ranks of the buraiyas. Keenly aware of his father's coldly pragmatic interests in his son, Hara grew to be a bitter, cruel man. Since the birth of his daughter in AC 1010, Hara's spirit has begun to lighten. Though he is still far from benevolent, his cruelty has tempered somewhat. His change of attitude, however, has put him at odds with his father and the cult of the buraiyas. Born: AC 980. Hair: Black. Height: 5' 11". Eyes: Green. Hara wears his dark hair short, and keeps a trim moustache. His right cheek bears a severe burn mark, legacy of a childhood punishment by his father.

Iarkainnun, Baron of the Estate of Malevolence in Blackheart.
In his youth the baron was a striking male specimen, and quite proud of the fact. His body was lean and toned, his features chiselled, and his shocking red hair like a royal crown upon his head. Being an ambitious man, the baron quickly made enemies, some of which even survive today. Unknown to him, one of those enemies placed a powerful curse on him. Slowly over time his body deteriorated. His skin became pallid and sickly and his body began to retain fat. Nothing he did could stop his transformation. The baron covered up his inability to rid himself of the curse by adopting habits that could account for his quickly growing girth. Watching Iarkainnun eat is enough to turn the hardiest of stomachs. Now the baron is a corpulent pustule of a human being. The only way that he can support his obese form is through magical support items that grant him the powers of levitation and limited flight.
Iarkainnun keeps a residence in Shraek, as well as on at the royal court. He enjoys the discomfort that his very presence inflicts upon others when he goes to visit. The baron does this often in order to keep up on imperial politics. Unlike many of his fellow Blackheartians he has a healthy appetite for matters of the state. While at his Estate of Malevolence the baron pursues his other favourite pastimes-tormenting innocent souls, and practicing a unique blend of necromancy and fire-related magics.
Clan Traedyis (of Shiye-Lawr) has been a thorn in the side of the baron's family for generations. He hates them with a passion, and although he has not been able to move against them openly he spends vast amounts of time plotting their destruction.
Human, male, Wiz13(3E).
Ioannes Rosattas, Lord of Verge.
Ioannes was a successful officer of the Thyatian Ministry of Trade for many years, before overzealous investigators wrongfully seized his properties and imprisoned him and members of his family. The corrupt officials were eventually caught by Emperor Eusebius, and Rosattas exonerated, but not before he managed to escape Thyatis and claim asylum in Karameikos. Since then, the disaffected Rosattas has elected to stay in the kingdom, and was recently granted the dominion of Verge. Born: AC 975. Hair: Blond, now grey. Height: 5' 3". Eyes: Green. A childhood bout of kobold flu has left Rosattas with severe arthritis.

The maharajah once hoped to expand his dominion by marrying his son off to the daughter of the Maharajah of Peshmir and then assassinating him.

Kabir is secretly the patron and leader of the buraiyas. Born: AC 957. Hair: Black, shaved bald. Height: 6' 1". Eyes: Gray.

Feyad'Rauth, Nephew to Baron Iarkainnun in Blackheart.
By far the most dangerous of the baron's nephews, Feyad'Rauth is a spitting image of Iarkainnun in his youth. When he was just a babe, his older brother killed his parents and brought Rauth to live with his uncle. After hearing stories about his father, Rauth is most pleased about his fate.
He is as adept with the sword as he is with spells. Charming and congenial manners hide the violent savagery that pulsates within him. Rauth has tried several times to have the baron executed, but as of yet has not succeeded. He knows that the baron knows this as well. He also knows that the baron favours him, and would be loath to dispose of him for fear of having his holdings fall into the hands of Rauth's older brother.

Gilis Shadowborn, Heiress in Gråbjerge.
Dwarf, female, T4.
Glausoraiban (a.k.a. the Beast), Nephew to Baron Iarkainnun in Blackheart.
Glausoraiban is the first-born son of Baron Iarkainnun's younger half-brother. The Beast was always more like his uncle than his father, and so at a young age he apprenticed himself to the baron. Although he learned only a smattering of magic, Glausoraiban delights most in the physical torment of others. He gained his epitaph after brutally murdering his own mother and father.
The Beast spends most of his days training with the baron's guard. When he's not doing that, he is hunting some poor unfortunate slave in the wilds of Blackheart. The hunts are never fair, and most of the time the victims are rarely even old enough to hold a sword. On occasion these little hunts cross over into Traedyis land, and the Beast takes delight in wreaking as much havoc as possible.

Human or elf, male, Rgr7(3E). Originally from Arkan. Wolf-Hunter's race is a mystery. He is not quite sure himself. He could be a human, but he clearly has pointed ears as elves do, so he could be counted among both races. Still, he doesn't usually let people see his ears... In short, if he is human, he is one of those who has some elven blood in him, yet is not a half-elf (which are exceedingly rare on Mystara).

Clenarius, Wizard in Polakatsikes.
Born in BC 973 in Davania, Clenarius spent the first part of his life as an apprentice for a Nithian wizard in Thothia. When his master was defeated by a rival wizard, he was held prisoner by magical means and stayed in suspended animation in the rival mage's dungeons (BC 950). He was released by adventurers some 1,700 years after his capture (AC 827). He resumed life as a mapmaker in Edairo, and while paying a last homage to his former master he realised that his former master had become an archlich and was living in Thothia. He found him and resumed his apprenticeship, learning dark necromantic secrets to extend life almost eternally and acting as his master's eyes, ears and mouth. One day, coming back from a trip for his master, he discovered his master's phylactery destroyed and the castle ransacked. He sought and destroyed the Alphatian party responsible for that deed and then left to settle in Thyatis, were he spent many years under several identities and working many jobs. By the end of the 9th century he was among the Thyatians who were sent by their emperor to conquer Traladara. In AC 970 he joined Stefan Karameikos and was awarded a dominion north of Penhaligon, which he kept several years, making it flourish. Good fortune did not last long, and dragons soon claimed their share of the barony's wealth. After he defeated two of them Clenarius had to fake his demise and leave once again under assumed identities to wander the known world, building up an adventuring party that lasted decades. He retired in Glantri as a teacher, and then in Boldavia where his researches were sponsored by the local prince. Once he realised his researches were used to cause harm to simple folk, he left and met Wolfgang Stemmel, a promising Heldannic Knight. They befriended each other and went adventuring for years, gathering artifacts and mapping up whole unknown regions for the Heldannic Order. Clenarius followed Wolfgang Stemmel back to his native Davania when the former was appointed Governor of Polakatsikes. Ever since, as a high magist and master cartographer in Davania, he has been doing his best with the help of his daughter Alatia to cement the two communities in order to make them face the future united.
Unknown to everyone but Wolfgang Stemmel, Clenarius has been receiving strange foretelling dreams for years. After long reflections he thinks those dreams were sent by Vanya Herself to further Her own divine ends. No one has any idea of his real age or life span.
OD&D Stats: Level 36 Wizard; St 9, In 18, Wi 17,Dx 13,Co 16,Ch 16; Al N.
Light olive skin tone, strongly built, pepper-and-salt hair, green eyes, wide eyebrows. Average height. Dressed very commonly except on special occasions or to honour a special guest, yet always wears an old Nithian bronze collar around his neck.
On every occasion he carries a very extensive set of rods, wands and staffs at hand to avoid using his own spells (his personal experiences led him to believe that showing off his magical might only attracts the attention of potential powerful rivals). He loves to spend hours in his studies mapping or studying ancient maps. Sometimes reclusive, he's always ready to enlarge his spell collection or simply to share news from the remote places. There are nearly no places on Mystara he hasn't heard about. He can be a generous source of information for any lawful- or neutral-aligned party of adventurers. He likes to assume many identities to gather information or to manipulate groups of people to further his own ends. He and his best friend Wolfgang have great plans for Polakatsikes's future.
