Ohaeng

Ohaeng means balance.

Introduced during an event over Christmas and New Year's in 2001-2002, there was a great deal of confusion at first about this. At first, there were minions all over various regions of the kingdoms, centred around the Wilderness. A short while later, a temple appeared with even more minions and even more strange things inside. At one point Ming-Ken, Ohaeng, and Kwi-Sin went to the various guildmasters and "settled the aethers" that had come from them. The people had no idea what was about to happen.

After this, when people wandered through the temple in the Wilderness, they were randomly asked questions about the alignments. If you answered them correctly, you became devoted and a follower of that alignment. After the event, you simply need to go to the various temples and answer the questions. The Ohaeng temple is in the Wilderness.

Ohaeng is the balance between life and death. Always trying to stay between two extremes, not tipping the scales in favour of one or the other.

For rogues, mages, and poets there are no obvious changes for becoming Ohaeng, apart from the general shortening of aethers on most spells. For warriors, instead of your Whirlwind bringing you to 10 vitality, you sacrifice 10% of the power and remain with 10% of your vitality that you started with.
