+1 circumstance bonus on Knowledge (dungeoneering)
checks to navigate underground in the areas shown.
10 TPA, 2 CPA each: Gain knowledge of one elf gate
key and its destination (see sidebar). The Lantern Bearers
know several dozen keys that operate at least 10 elf gates,
and they can use them to easily travel to within 500 miles
of most locations in Avistan or Garund. Not every known
key is available to every member (some require 20, 30,
or even 50 TPA, as they lead to strategic sites the leaders
want to remain secret). Once a member knows the key to
activate an elf gate, he may freely use it as often as he wants,
though transporting others who aren’t members of the
organization is frowned upon. Unless a PC wants access
to a specific location, the GM should select a target area
relating to future events in the campaign.
10 TPA, 3 CPA: Requisition the assistance of a specialist
(any NPC belonging to the organization with a class level
equal to half the character’s level) for 1 week.
15 TPA, 5 CPA: Gain the assistance of a dryad, pixie,
satyr, or other fey of similar power for 24 hours.
20 TPA, 1+ CPA: Access a hidden cache of supplies in the
Darklands. These supplies consist of Darklands survival
gear such as dried food, clean water, spare weapons,
rope, sunrods, spell components, and other nonmagical
equipment listed in the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook.
Spending CPA on this resource represents finding a cache
within 2d6 × 10 minutes of the character’s current location;
the character does not need to plan ahead for this or know
of its existence (it is, in effect, a plot device for acquiring
emergency items). A typical cache contains up to 375 gp
worth of these goods. This resource always incurs the +5
CPA increase for being outside of a community of at least
5,000 people. The CPA cost for this resource increases by
an additional +1 in Sekamina.
20 TPA: Purchase or upgrade weapons with abilities
from the following list at a 10% discount: elf-bane, holy,
keen, shock.
20 TPA: Purchase magic items from the following
list at a 10% discount: boots of elvenkind, cloak of elvenkind,
goggles of night, oathbow, periapt of proof against poison, ring
of counterspells.
20 TPA: Purchase or upgrade magical armor or shields
with abilities from the following list at a 10% discount:
arrow def lection, blinding, energy resistance (acid, cold,
electricity, or fire), reflecting, shadow (all), spell resistance.
25 TPA, 10 CPA: Gain the assistance of a shambling
mound, treant, or fey or of an intelligent plant of similar
power for 24 hours.
30 TPA, 1 CPA: Acquire a token of passage allowing
the bearer free passage through Kyonin (even Iadara) for
1 week. The bearer may bring others along, though the
Kyonin elves remain suspicious of any non-elf, even those
traveling with a Lantern Bearer.

Elf Gates
Called aiudara by the elves, these sculpted stone arches are
scattered in clearings across Kyonin and around the world.
When activated with a specific key (such as a password,
piece of music, particular spell, physical token, or stellar
conjunction), they instantly transport anyone who passes
through to another specific elf gate. Most elf gates have
multiple keys, each one linked to a different destination,
but most keys have been forgotten over the millennia and
therefore some elf gates have been abandoned. Transport
is one-way, though the target elf gate usually has a key to
transport creatures back to the gate of origin.
