Admonitions Test Page
This page demonstrates all the admonition types used throughout The Crescent documentation.
Core Information Types
Info
Presents factual details, statistics, and organizational structure.
Major Merchant Houses
House Serevain (Ecleptara): Luxury goods, information brokerage, political contacts
House Tharvog (Cairune): Raw materials, bulk goods, "salvage operations"
House Duskaryn (Illyndra): Discrete services, sensitive cargo, unofficial solutions
Note
Highlights important context that shapes character decisions or gameplay.
A Warden's Kit
Standard Road Warden equipment includes: reinforced travel gear, emergency rations for three days, signal mirror, rope (50 feet), basic medical supplies, and a written authorization bearing the Warden seal. Many also carry personal weapons, though the organization provides none.
Abstract
Provides checklists, summaries, and quick reference material.
Travel Checklist
Before Departure: - Secure travel papers and faction letters of introduction - Purchase supplies for twice your planned journey time - Arrange for backup routes if primary roads fail - Notify contacts of your expected arrival
Helpful Guidance
Tip
Offers practical advice for navigating The Crescent's complexities.
Community Over Self
Halfling communities reward those who put collective needs first. Characters with halfling backgrounds gain respect by demonstrating how their adventures benefit their home communities, not just personal advancement.
Example
Shows practical applications of rules or concepts in action.
Preparation Example
A party planning to travel from Ecleptara to Cairune (normally 8 days) should pack for 16 days. The extra supplies account for potential route diversions, weather delays, or Wardstone failures that could force longer alternate paths.
Warnings and Dangers
Warning
Alerts to potential complications, limitations, or sources of conflict.
Superior Traditions
Many drow believe their old empire's methods remain superior to current Crescent practices. This attitude creates friction with other peoples who see it as arrogance rather than justified pride in proven techniques.
Danger
Highlights serious threats, escalating crises, or major systemic problems.
The Scale Crisis
Road Warden forces cannot adequately patrol all routes simultaneously. Increased monster activity, failing Wardstones, and expanding territories mean many roads go weeks without Warden presence. Travelers increasingly face threats the organization cannot address.
Interactive Elements
Question
Presents mysteries, moral dilemmas, and plot hooks that invite investigation.
Vault Secrets
What do the eldar house vaults actually contain?
The mystery:
- Houses guard vault access more jealously than gold
- Even house members rarely see vault interiors
- Vaults predate current eldar settlements
Are they hiding shameful history, powerful artifacts, or something else entirely? The houses won't say, and outsiders who ask too many questions tend to find themselves unwelcome.
Quotes
Captures in-world voices and perspectives that reveal character motivations, cultural attitudes, and setting atmosphere.
Usage Guidelines
- Info/Note/Abstract: Neutral, factual content
- Tip/Example: Helpful guidance and practical demonstrations
