Vision is a selection of abilities all related to your perception of the world around you. A human, dwarf, Tsol'aa, etc all naturally have certain methods of perception and Vision seeks to primarily increase your visual acuity. Starting off with simple tricks of observation, Vision will eventually give you the power of far-seeing, as well as the power to examine your subconscious and profit thereby.

Located in the depths of the [[Eastern Ithmia]], the forestal village of [[Eleusis]] was revealed by the [[dryads|dryad]] queen [[Titania]] to a group of [[Sentinels of Nature|Sentinels]] in the year 271 AF following [[Vixen|Vixen's]] bout of illness. Eleusis is a naturally formed habitat in the Ithmia's treetops for the [[forestal|forestals]] of [[Sapience]] to call home. Dedicated to the preservation and expansion of Nature, Eleusis follows the words of the [[Viridian Charter]] in efforts against cities of iron and stone and those that infringe upon Nature and those that do it harm.

The village of Eleusis was officially formed in the month of [[Daedalan]], 324 years after the fall of the [[Seleucarian Empire]], by Covenant Stormcrow, Tearstorm Le'Yuet, Riakar Nakanishi, Elsp Le'Yuet, and Mysti La'Saen. It is led by a council made up of five Hierophants who are elected by popular vote. From these five, one leader is chosen to be the Speaker of Eleusis. The term Hierophants, for the council members, used to be Leath-ris (literally, "half-kings").

== Landmarks ==
{{Skill_detail
This small forestal village is rich with culture. It has grown immensely since adventurers started trampling through its branches just over a century ago, but still remains quaint and quiet, keeping its unique solitude.

The entire village is a landmark in itself. No other "city-state" and indeed, no other village can claim to be anything like it. Upon entering the village, you must trek up a spiralled staircase which will take you up a level into the trees. You walk along the tree branches for wherever you need to go, only ever seeing ground level again if you wish to visit the Sentinel or Sylvan Househalls, '''the Eleusian Fields''' and stables, the bait shop, or the lush chapel on the [[Zaphar River]]. The [[Gaian Vale]], Eleusis' subdivision, may be found near the river.

One may be inclined to visit [[Muria]] along the '''Oaken Way''' of Eleusis and hear her tales of Sentinel history. Unveiled by Lady Gaia, find the [[Viridian Charter]] cast against the Great Oak. Its golden script can be seen throughout Eleusis, but read more clearly by the arboreal ramparts near the '''Central Hall in the Great Oak''', a local meeting place of Eleusis. A great statue of [[Covenant|Covenant Stormcrow]], the first speaker of Eleusis, graces the hall, seemingly ready to come alive and belt out a yodel for all the world to hear. '''The Cauldron of Infinity''' can be found at the '''Tears of Eleusis''', a permanent reminder of the [[War of the Divine Child]] (See also: [[City-relics]]). '''The [[Collosea en Duir]]''', or "The Colosseum of the Oak" in common Achaean, is the Eleusian arena. This all-natural terrain arena can be found in the southwestern part of Eleusis. Moving beyond the subdivision and the bait shop, a lush chapel overlooks the river, holding within the Flame of Nature and Altars reflecting different environments.
