The Most Important GemStone III Link
http://www.play.net/gs3/General Interest
The GemStone III Infopedia
With multiple guides on training every profession, detailed information
on the various spell circles, historical documents, and notes on everything
from loresinging to familiars to Dragon Bones, this site is precisely what
it claims to be.
Eratika's
Incredibly Lengthy Verb List
This, too, is precisely what it claims to be-- and, as an Elanthian
performer, I've found it amazingly useful. This is a list of every
known verb in GemStone III along with the a description of the effects of
using that verb.
Tsoran's Map Shoppe
Now that Zepath has faded away, Tsoran is the best cartographer in
Elanthia. I am far too often completely reliant upon his maps to
rescue me from getting lost, and I salute him for the long hours of work
he's put in to help Elanthians everywhere.
Juspera's Good Ole
GS3 Page
This is a resource for guides, logs, humor, and original work by J,
the player of the infamous but well-beloved Juspera. It also houses
an amazing variety of biographical profiles, some information on House Aspis,
and a lot of other... er... stuff. Trust me, it's an interesting place
to visit.
Lady Cleodelia's Auction
At the moment I create this page, there are no less than eight hundred
and forty-nine items being auctioned with the automated aid of Lady Cleodelia's
website. While I myself have never sold anything here, I have purchased
several items, and been thoroughly pleased with the results.
Elanthian Culture
The Coven
Delve into the past and the society of the keepers of Moonstone Abbey.
Additionally, there are many fascinating and useful guides here--
truly something for every GemStone player.
The Faendryl
Empire
(official Simutronics document!)
Everything Tanager doesn't know about her heritage but players of other
Faendryl characters ought to know.
The History
of the Truefolk
(official Simutronics document!)
There's more to halflings than tarts.
The Obsidian Tower
Here, you may learn about the arrogant (but fascinating) Dhe'nar--
a long-lived player culture that eventually evolved into an official reality.
Sea of Fire, Home of the Tehir
The Tehir are the human and half-elven desert nomads who roam the Sea
of Fire. Learn here about their ways and their culture.
The Wyrdeep Elves
Although this link leads just to a subsection of Turinrond's site,
it describes another group of non-Faendryl dark elves in a fashion that
may interest many.
Artistic Interest
Lady Brownyng's Wedding
Pages
Before I encountered this site, I gave little to no thought at all
to how my characters dressed and presented themselves visually. Lady
Brownyng's words opened up my eyes to the possibilities in dress, item design,
and item arrangement in Elanthia, and I encourage anyone else concerned with
such things to study her words.
Designs by Songie
Lady Songie is one of the current foremost authorities on dress, item
design, and the art of creating a wedding ceremony in Elanthia. She
offers her services here.
Elanthian Love Songs
Here you will find the writings of Lady Gypsywolf. Although she
has been so kind as to grant me the right to reproduce her library upon
my own site, I encourage others to visit her own-- enhanced by the artwork
of Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, it is truly beautiful.
The Elanthian Rose Workshop
This is the website of the Elanthian Rose Performance Workshop. The
workshop meets every Tilamaires (Tuesday) at House Aspis, at nine-thirty
in the evening, and anyone who practices any type of performance art in
Elanthia is welcome to drop by.
Blind Man's Rainbow
This is the site of Rastavan Eveninglight, a skilled composer, performer,
and professional bard who has not been around as much lately as the admirers
of his music might well wish. He has been kind enough to grant me
the right to record his personal work in my library, but I invite you to
travel to his realm as well.
The Elanthian Times
Here, you will find GemStone's own player-run newspaper, published
twice yearly.
Professional Interest
Leaping Lord Zanovere:
A Voln Wizard's Guide to GemStone III
I sat down and read through every guide on wizardry and every wizard-specific
site I could find before I created Tanager; of all those I examined, this
was the most helpful and useful to me. While I did not follow its
instructions fully, I believe Tanager would be far, far less effective in
her wizardly career without this man's advice.
Speaker's Archery Page
Everything you ever wanted to know about archery. Period. Tanager
is not an archer, but I as a player have experimented with the skill,
and this was the most useful source I found.

experimentation into that question, and her findings, along with a number
of guides and interviews.
