Athra

This article is about Athra, a sort of meta-religion that has been a source of several story lines, plot devices, and even one other religion in BattleMaster. The loose collection of notes and tidbits that "are" Athra have been scattered across hard drives, email accounts, and notebooks going back seven years. Athra was (and is) an attempt to construct a religion that is intellectually consistent with the elements that make up BattleMaster like classes, continental expansions, and invasions. This article will expand considerably as I find time to organize and record everything, and it is my intent to make Athra my singular contribution to the BattleMaster community. Athra is a prospective religion at this point. Please, be gentle.

Emphasis

It is quite easy to ''emphasize'' text. 
You can also create '''strong''' text. 

It is quite easy to emphasize text. You can also create strong text.

You should be very careful not to overuse either of these abilities. In general, emphasized text is preferable to strong text.

Verbatim text

 By putting a space at the beginning of these lines, they will
 use a fixed-width font and will not have their lines wrapped:
         /

If you have a modern browser, you do not even need to remember how to do most of the above. Simply click on the appropriate buttons above the editbox when you are editing an article.

Links

Links are perhaps the most important part of the BattleMaster wiki. There are two main type of links, internal links and external links. Internal links point to pages on the BattleMaster wiki; external links point to other pages on the internet.

Internal Links

There are several ways to create internal links on the Battlemaster wiki. The simplist of which is to type:

[[page name]]

which will automatically create a link that looks like: page name (Red links point to nonexistant articles.)

Below are some more advanced techniques for controlling not only where the link points, but how it looks.

Plural Links

[[Judge]]s are responsible for [[ban]]ning enemies of the [[realm]].

Judges are responsible for banning enemies of the realm.

Links to: Judge, Ban, Realm

Piped Links

[[battle|Combat]] occurs only at [[time|sunrise]] and [[time|sunset]].

Combat occurs only at sunrise and sunset.

Links to: Battle, Time, Time

Subpage Links

Prevents the need to use a separate, piped name for the link. (See above.) Only works in the main namespace. (i.e., not in this Meta namespace.)

[[/Subpage/]] is a subpage of this one.

Links to: /Subpage but looks like Subpage

Hide Namespace

Section Links

You might even be [[death#executions|executed]].

You might even be executed.

Links to: Death#executions i.e. the "Executions" section of the "Death" page

External Links

The simplest form of external link is to simply type in the url for example:

The BattleMaster Bugtracker is at: http://bugs.battlemaster.org/

The BattleMaster Bugtracker is at: http://bugs.battlemaster.org/

As long as the url starts with http:// it will be automatically converted to a link.

Unnamed Links

External links use only one set of square brackets.

[http://bugs.battlemaster.org/]

[1]

Note that these look funny. They should not be used without a good reason.

Named Links

Do not exploit any bugs you find. Bugs should be reported 
on the [http://bugs.battlemaster.org/ Battlemaster Bugtracker].

Do not exploit any bugs you find. Bugs should be reported on the Battlemaster Bugtracker.

Email Links

Signature Link

When posting comments on talk pages it is customary to sign your posts. A quick shorthand is available that will be automatically converted into a signature when saving the page.
