When you sip the last of your curative elixir then it's time to refill that [[vials|vial]]. The easiest way to get a refill is from [[Seasone|Seasone, the Industrious]] just outside of [[North of New Thera]]. Her services are some of the most costly in the land, so it is highly suggested that you find another way, such as an adventurer who can refill your vial or a shop with a [http://www.achaea.com/game/helpview/achaea/refill-tuns tun] where you can REFILL <vial|fluid|empty> WITH <tun|fluid>.

==Death and Resurrection==
In the event of your '''[[death]]''', you will find you can still walk around as a soul. This movement may be stopped by [[sigils|eye sigils]] lying upon the ground and the steps you take will not count in increasing your rank in the [[Fellowship of Explorers]].
There are a few ways in which adventurers can be resurrected from death. They are:
*EMBRACE DEATH to take a brisk walk through the [[Thoth|Halls of Thoth]].
*Use the [[starburst]] [[:Category:Tattoos|tattoo]] which instantly restores your life at half the experience loss but leaves you without [[defences]].
*Immolation, which takes place when another adventurer immolates your corpse in the [[Flame of Yggdrasil]].
*Abilities related to classes such as [[druid]] and [[paladin]] allow adventurers to resurrect their fallen peers.
It should be noted that almost every method of resurrection incurs some amount of experience loss.

In addition to these methods of travel, there are plenty of miscellaneous tools and abilities. For example, those of the [[Magi]] class can create temporary portals between locations, and [[Serpent]]s can splice [[wormholes]]. If you obtain a pair of [[artefact]] [[Atavian wings|wings]], you can use them to travel high above the clouds, to a location not unlike the Ring of Portals!

=Combat and Death=
<!-- I know very, very little about combat, so I can't do much here. -->
[[Death]] is usually considered an unpleasant occurance. It is caused by the loss of one's health in its entirety, thus severing the soul from the body. As long as you are dead, you will walk the lands as a soul, potentially affected by the influences of such objects as eye [[sigils]]. You will also slowly lose [[experience]]. There are a number of ways to return to the living, but few may be undertaken on one's own. The only foolproof way to return from death is to PRAY FOR SALVATION. This will transport you to the [[Halls of Maya]], which you will walk for a short time before meeting with the Lady Herself to be returned to life.
There are other, less reliable methods of resurrection. A friend may locate your corpse and immolate you in the [[Flame of Yggdrasil]] to resurrect you, or perhaps use your corpse in a [[Devotion (skill)|Devotion]] resurrection. However, should your body be lost or defiled, your only alternative is to find a [[Groves]] user and their grove, who may resurrect you using only your soul.
It should be noted that almost every method of resurrection incurs some amount of experience loss, aside from that lost by the act of dying. Immolation is known to be one of the most costly in experience, alongside praying, and skill-based resurrections are rather less expensive.
