'''Rico, the Theran blacksmith''', spends his days working in the stifling heat of the smithy in [[New Thera]]. In autumn of 673 he announced to the world his selling of quality training [[weapons]] from his smithy.  
The '''Elemental Plane of Water''' is, according to [[Asahana]], the source of water as well as water-derived magic across the Multiverse. Thus, water elementals as well as the connections Magi, and Sylvan have are drawn from this plane. Its entrance lies to the south-east from the heart of the [[Mannamot]] Tier of [[Yggdrasil|the World Tree]]. It is ruled over by [[Sllshya]], the Great Ocean.


==Rico's Wares==
In the year 757 AF, the Elemental Plane of Water went to war with the [[Elemental Plane of Air]], the [[Elemental Plane of Earth]], and the [[Elemental Plane of Fire]].
;training scimitar  - 2000gp: The scimitar appears to be of southeastern origin, probably [[Shallam|Shallamese]]. Its hilt is wrapped in bright red cloth, with a bit draping off, and its crosspiece has a serpentine curve to it. The blade itself curves slightly back, and the inside curve is not edged.


;training longsword - 2000gp: Crafted simply, with rigid right-angles at the hilt, this longsword possesses fine workmanship. It has a split-leather grip ending in a slight pommel, and the crossbar is covered with some simple, engraved patterns.
Three rifts to the Elemental Fringes exist in the Coterie: [[Blisterwash Caldera]], [[Fenrot Glade]], and [[Icefall Reach]].


;training broadsword - 2000gp: Possessing a slightly broader and shorter blade than a longsword, this instrument of war is functional and beautiful. The Theran workmanship is of finest quality. The seal of the Theran blacksmiths is etched very slightly into the blade, and no doubt stands out brightly when the blade is blooded.
==Famous Elementals==
*[[Sllshya]], the Great Ocean
*[[Sorceress of the Seas]]
*[[Asahana]], Emissary of Sllshya


;training battleaxe  - 2000gp: Possessing a medium-length wooden hilt topped by a pair of deadly-looking axeblades, this weapon is the favourite of many [[dwarf|dwarves]]. Carved into one of the blades is the traditional symbol of many dwarves, the [[Hammer of Phaestus]].
==Military Arms==
* The Mawguard
*The Cetan
:- [[Thalastos]] (winter)
:- [[Parililos]] (spring)
:- [[Chamiloia]] (summer)
:- [[Vathirr]] (autumn)


;training flail - 2000gp: This flail has a fairly short wooden handle, with a leather loop at the end. Three chains are attached to the other end, each leading to separate fist-sized iron ball, dotted with evil-looking spikes.
==Areas==


;training morning star - 2000gp: A short wooden handle connected to a large iron ball by an iron chain, the morning star makes you wonder at the expression of fear on a victim's face shortly before his skull is shattered by this fearsome weapon.
===Sllshya's Maw===
Colloquially known as "The Maw", '''Sllshya's Maw''' is nothing less than an enormous whirlpool, ceaselessly churning and writhing through the deeps. Its inhabitants are varied, ranging from soldiers of Sllshya in the form of water elementals to great barbed creatures of the wine-dark depths. Within, the ever-shifting Alcazar can be found, overlooking the waters through its countless glimmering windows.


;training rapier (songblessed) - 2000gp: Slim, light, and well-balanced, with a beautifully ornate hilt, this rapier looks to be fit for a true artist of swordplay. A soft, haunting melody emanates from this blade.
===The Alcazar===
Guarded by the mighty Cetan, the '''Alcazar''' is a grand palace without peer, ruled over by the Queen Regent on behalf of the Fluid One, Sllshya. Its entrance fluctuates to the whims and wills of the tides, yet can ever be found somewhere in the churning maelstrom that is the Maw. Social standing and propriety are of paramount importance to the palace residents, among them noble men and women well versed in navigating the travails of the Court of the Mad.


;training shortsword - 2000gp: The shortsword looks to be of a good make, but is otherwise unadorned. Its simple crosspiece curls slightly at either end.
====Inhabitants====
* [[Vasinateira]], the Queen Regent
* Prince [[Protheno]]
* Grand Marshall [[Kolemetis]]
* [[Archoura]], Captain of the Guard
* [[Dionis]], the head cook
* [[Hersidore]], the steward
* [[Kiolak]], the housekeeper
* [[Lysandro]], the huntmaster
* [[Rouchyptis]], the seamstress
* [[Vasilios]], the blacksmith
* [[Yya'lish]], the coal bearer


;training warhammer - 2000gp: A warhammer forged with blackened steel and black walnut for the handle. The workmanship is good, though unfamiliar.
===Flora and Fauna===
The deep currents are host to forests of seaweeds within whose waving fronds hide striped regasco, spinefish, subtle snatchers, voltaic [[jellyfish]], sunfish, and clusters of agelta. Lesser seen are crimson serpents, gargantuan eels, and black seahorses camoflauged in the inky depths. Anthracite-hued moss and white lichen also float in the churning maelstrom which is the Maw.


;training bastard sword - 2000gp: This two-handed weapon is similar to a longsword in shape and size, but has a longer hilt, and perhaps a slightly heavier blade. Many are the opponents who have trembled upon seeing one of the [[Delos|Delosian]] Rangers bearing down upon them with one of their signature bastard swords.
