I've searched every book I have and found nothing.
It doesn't have to be official, throw in your secret undergound space hamsters lair ideas too!
Now I also have a Elemental AB here as well, a magma cleric that is in the latter stages of the process - 9th or 10th if the stages are broken out in the same manner as the rest.
Now the cleric and the preservers have an agreement of mutual protection and such, though the cleric currently enjoys a bit of a leverage here, as he is much more valuable to the wizards then they are to him. The school also has a small, but growing, faction of preserver/magma cleric multiclassed individuals.
I don't remember how much I mention it in the write up of the PrC, but I do have a small list of some of the prominate figures I have placed in this area - I may have to look in my personal campaign notes.
Gaaaaaah
Mind Lords says that the Ssurans of Tradenest come to a trade fair outside of the Saragar area twice a year to trade with folks of the Lost sea area.
Based on that, I have the Ssurans the sole providers of what's known as "shimmercloth" to the rest of the world. (Shimmercloth is what the rest of Athas calls Puddingfish cloth, since the Ssurans don't say what it's made of). Shimmercloth is a special material has just added to the LC appendix -- you'll see it in today's update.
I picture Trade Nest as a loose consortium of different Ssupran trading groups, kind of like "Bartertown" without a single ruling figure.
No, no more prestige classes!
Gaaaaaah
Oh you will be seeing many PrCs - I may even send you my personal ones to look over - I don't want to submit my own PrCs to the Appendix II (after I revise a few of them) without someone else checking them so we can keep bias out of the picture as much as possible.
I read over the arcane specialist today - and I only reference it as being the home of this growing school of preserver arcane magic - so it is pretty much a blank slate.
Shimmercloth is a special material has just added to the LC appendix -- you'll see it in today's update.
Is this appendix officially released? If so, where? If not, when?
Along with the Table of contents, the introduction, and the other sections of LC.when I said "you'll see it in today's update," I was speaking to Bruno, who is part of the LC team, or at least was and will be again, as soon as Kalthandrix stops burying him in Prestige Classes ;)
Shimmercloth: Shimmercloth is a rare and valuable commodity in the Trembling Plains, and until recently, relatively unknown in the southern Tablelands cities. House Azeth obtains shimmercloth from the Ssuran, who keep secret the fact that they obtain this cloth from Saragar, far to the north, during the bi-annual trade festivals. In Saragar, shimmcloth is known as puddingfish cloth. Considerably lighter and stronger than silk, shimmercloth is named for its remarkably reflective surface. In moonlight, undyed shimmercloth takes on an evocative pearly appearance, and properly dyed shimmercloth reflects its colors distinctly. In full sunlight, the cloth is dazzling.
Weight (1 lb per 10 square yards); hardness 3; hp 1; Cost TBA
Shimmercloth Robe: A full robe made of shimmercloth gives the wearer the full benefit of shade, so long as the user leaves the hood up. However, unless the wearer stands in total darkness, he takes a -10 penalty to all Hide checks.
Weight 1 lb.; TBA
Shimmercloth Robe, Masterwork: This robe is identical to an ordinary shimmercloth robe, except that it has been painted by a Kurnan master artist. Kurnan painters have developed a technique for dying their art into shimmercloth, creating works that dazzle the eye in daylight, and come into their full beauty in moonlight. Some work their art in great banners, others into smaller flags, and others, into clothing such as cloaks and robes. In addition to the benefits and penalties associated with a shimmercloth robe, the wearer of a masterwork shimmercloth robe gains a +1 circumstance check to her Intimidate and Diplomacy checks.
Weight 1 lb.; TBA
There's more stuff, but Bruno has some cool ideas on it, so I'll save it as a suprise.
When the Preserver Wars began, the Council of Magehome was too powerful and too entrenched with their life-enhancing magicks to eradicate. So, Rajaat himself just...bound them away within the city. Unable to escape, eventually even the Council's life magic floundered and failed, and they were forced to become t'liz monstrosities.
--in today's era, the T'liz Council is only slightly insane and bent with evil NB
