== Description ==
''Note: Race is called Whitehoof (singular) and Whitehooves (plural)''

Requires [[Embers of Rage]].

A clan of minotaurs turned to necromancy when faced with imminent destruction.
Whitehooves are resilient and magic imbued undead, hardened by their trials and made stronger by their undeath.
They now seek to help their orc allies, in hope they will help them back.

They have access to special talents and a wide range of undead abilities:

- silence resistance (50%)

- bleeding immunity (100%)

- poison immunity (100%)

- fear immunity (100%)

- no need to breathe

- special race talents: dead hide, lifeless rush, essence drain

==Starting Equipment==
*Brass Lantern
*Rune: Shielding
*Rune: Heat Beam
*Rune: Phase Door (in inventory)

==Starting Location==
* [[Vaporous Emporium]]

== Racial Talents ==

{{:Whitehooves_(category)}}

==Strategy==
* Whitehooves have an enormous advantage over their western undead brethren: access to medical injectors, and thus to potent healing and curing options that ghouls and skeletons lack.
* Whitehoof characters should spend either very few, or a large number of generic points on racial skills.
* Characters planning to invest heavily in crafting skills or in powerful class-based generics can run something like 2/0/0/0, gaining a lot of status resistance and enough speed for basic kiting at almost no cost.
* Characters with fewer generic options, and players familiar enough with the crafting system to spend their points carefully, may wish to go 5/3+/4+/0-1, gaining up to 30 flat damage reduction and +25% damage.
* Characters with other speed bonuses can more easily keep their racial stacked
* Characters who use weapon attacks may wish to limit their investment in Combat Accuracy and find other ways to make sure attacks hit.

Maurog:

{{Spoilers}}

Achievements are granted when you do something that the almighty [[DarkGod]] felt he wanted to make an achievement. :)

These can be small things such as completing quests, or dealing huge amounts of damage in a single blow. Many achievements are tied to [[unlocks]] too, such as unlocking the [[Reaver]] class.

On [[Difficulty|easier mode]] no achievements are granted. Each achievement can be achieved 9 times depending on the [[difficulty]] and [[permadeath]] settings:
* Exploration: Normal or higher difficulty with permadeath mode: Exploration (Easy difficulty is the only setting you will not get any achievements)
* Regular: Normal difficulty with permadeath mode: Adventure
* Roguelike: Normal difficulty with permadeath mode: Roguelike
* Nightmare (Adventure): Nightmare difficulty with permadeath mode: Adventure
* Nightmare (Roguelike): Nightmare difficulty with permadeath mode: Roguelike
* Insane (Adventure): Insane difficulty with permadeath mode: Adventure
* Insane (Roguelike): Insane difficulty with permadeath mode: Roguelike
* Madness(Adventure): Madness difficulty with permadeath mode: Adventure
* Madness(Roguelike): Madness difficulty with permadeath mode: Roguelike

Due to this the game has a staggering 1306 achievements on [http://steamcommunity.com/stats/259680/achievements steam], possibly the highest of any game on steam.

Sher'Tul Fortress

{{zone

}}

'''Sher'Tul Fortress''' is the name of a quest, which involves the discovery and claiming of Yiilkgur, a [[Sher'Tul]] fortress.

==Zone Information==
The Sher'tul Fortress is initially found at the bottom of the [[Lake of Nur]], and later can be accessed from a portal southeast of [[Derth]], in a corridor flanked on one side by forests and on the other side by mountains.

When you first enter the Sher'tul Fortress, you are in a small cul-de-sac and must defeat the [[Weirdling Beast]], a difficult boss with healing, damaging spells, decent melee and the ability to turn off your sustains. After the Weirdling Beast dies, the locked door behind it opens and the stairs up to Lake Nur 3 disappear. Because the Sher'tul Fortress has no material limits, it is possible (but unlikely) for the Beast to drop very powerful equipment such as voratun weapons or drakeskin armor.

==The Fortress==
The rest of the fortress is divided into 5 main parts. The entrance/exit portals are just past the door. Beyond that is the main room which contains the Control Orb, which can be used to take possession of the fortress, and the Butler who can tell you about the fortress. To the south is the storage room; items dropped in this area are automatically sorted by type and do not disappear from the ground. To the north is the Training Facility (initially locked) and the Library of Lost Secrets, which may be accessed to read all the [[:Category:Lore|lore]] that any character you have played has ever come across. Further east is the [[Farportal]] room, which is initially locked.

Gaining control of the fortress and talking to the butler lets you have the [[Transmogrification Chest]], or, if you have already [[unlock]]ed the Chest for starting characters, hooks yours up to the Fortress's systems. From then on, any item you transmogrify will gain you a certain amount of fortress energy.

If you have the talent Extract Gems (if you are an [[Alchemist]] or got access to the Stone Alchemy category from an escort quest) then you can pay energy to have your [[Transmogrification Chest]] automatically extract gems and then transmogrify the gems, which will substantially increase your profits/energy gained, without having to manually extract them every level change.

If you are a donator, then you may also use the [[items vault]] which is attached to the storage chamber. This allows you to transfer some items between your different saved games.

If you bought the game from an Indie Royale bundle (and activated the addon that was distributed with that version), then each character that reaches the fortress can ask the butler for one [[Royal Items|Royal Item]] out of a selection of six.

==Fortress Energy==
After gaining 15 energy, you will be able to return to the Fortress and have the Butler upgrade your [[Rod of Recall]] to return you to the Fortress. When exiting the Fortress, if you used the Rod to get in, you will be returned to the world map just outside the zone you recalled from. This is the only way you can access your stored items in the Fortress while you are in the [[Far East]] (until you have built the portals to allow transportation between the continents).

After gaining 45 energy, you may return to the Fortress to unlock the door to the Farportal room. This room will contain a horror with talents from a random class, and the farportal. You can pay 30 energy to enter the Farportal, which takes you to a randomly generated zone with random enemies and a random (very dangerous) boss at the end. You may enter the Farportal as many times as you like, so long as you have enough energy.

After gaining 50 energy, you may return to the Fortress to unlock the door to the Training Facility room. This room allows you to spawn training dummies on which you can test your combat abilities.

You can also pay 60 energy to alter the butler's appearance.

[[Undead]] characters may spend 10 energy to make the effect of [[Cloak of Deception]] permanent, freeing their cloak slot.

Undead characters who have access to [[Sher'Tul Fortress]] may spend 10 fortress energy to make the effect of the cloak permanent, allowing using any other cloak while remaining disguised.

Dogroth Caldera

Maurog: /* Zone Information */

{{zone
|name=Dogroth Caldera
|guardian=[[Mindworm]]
|floors=2
|min_level=25
|max_level=35
|min_ilevel=3
|max_ilevel=3
}}

==Zone Information==
Dogroth Caldera (a.k.a. Noxious Caldera) appears on the main wilderness map of [[Maj'Eyal]] at character level 20 or higher, but not in all games. There is a 30% chance of the event occurring, unless you are a [[Yeek]], in which case there is a 100% chance.

The first level features a winding tunnel which leads eastward. There is a timer counting down 600 game turns. If this timer reaches 0 you enter a soft dream. If you complete the objectives within the dream successfully, you will return to the Caldera with a reset timer. If you fail your objectives and die within the dream, you will still return to the Caldera but will suffer damage equal to 2/3 of your current life. This damage can be absorbed by damage shields.

The second level has a timer counting down 60 turns. This timer does the same thing as the previous one. The level is roughly circular in shape; you begin on the western edge. On the eastern edge, there is an altar of dreams, and a boss named [[Mindworm]]. Due to the danger of failing a dream while fighting in the Caldera, it can be useful to wait out the timer in safety, quickly fail it on purpose, then heal up and engage the next group of enemies before the timer counts down again.

'''''If you kill the Mindworm, the timer stops ticking. You can still have dreams by using the altar, but if you die in one of those dreams you die for real, a hard dream.'''''

These dreams do not give any rewards for your current character, but they are necessary for the [[Solipsist]] class [[unlock]]. It is therefore beneficial for a player who already has unlocked Solipsists to kill the Mindworm quickly, thus reducing risk and saving time.

==Dreams==
To unlock Solipsists, you need to complete two different dreams: the dream of loss (sometimes called the wife dream or lost man dream) and the dream of vulnerability (sometimes called the mouse dream). Tips for both dreams are below.

As soon as you successfully complete both dreams, you will get the [[achievement]] and the unlock. It is then recommended to kill Mindworm, since he drops boss quality loot.

===Wife Dream===
The wife dream has you taking control of the "Lost man". The objectives of the dream is to talk to the different yeeks in the rooms. All but one of them will transform into ghouls, which you have to kill. To do so, you must use the "Dreamstones" scattered among the rooms. These heal you for about 100HP. Hit an enemy until you are low, run to a stone, rinse and repeat.

Eventually you will find your wife, represented by an orc broodmother sprite. The same tactics apply to her. After you have slain her, step through the portal to return to the Caldera.

The lost man starts out with three unassigned stat points, which you can assign by pressing 'p'. Additional points in strength will increase your damage and end the fights quicker.

As of version 1.2.3, this dream can become bugged with no broodmother spawning, and thus no exit. If speaking to a Yeek results in it disappearing into thin air, then the dream is likely to be bugged. In this case, you may bind a hotkey to your melee attack and punch yourself to death to exit the dream.

===Mouse Dream===
The mouse dream is far more difficult; it has you taking control over the "frail mouse". The objective of the dream is to escape to the exit portal, most commonly found in the lower right corner but sometimes on the far right bottom corner.

The mouse starts out with three unassigned stat points, which you can assign by pressing 'p'. Putting all three points into Con is a huge help; it more than doubles your hit points, allowing you to take a couple of unlucky hits from cats before dying.

While exploring, keep an eye out for mouse holes. These look like trails through the woods (similar to the [[Old Forest]] or [[Trollmire]]'s entrances) but can be hard to make out due to the dream distortions. Stepping on a mouse hole will teleport you to the other side, leaving any cats behind and (usually) allowing a moment of peace to re-stealth and rest up your cooldowns.

Your rodent's success depends upon repeated successful disengagements. Start out by activating Stealth and scouting your surroundings, turning back IMMEDIATELY when you encounter a cat in your path. Once you've evaluated your predators' locations and have as much of the map revealed as you safely can, you can get to work baiting the cats out of your way. To do this, remain stealthed in front of a cat at medium to long range until it notices your position and starts walking towards you. Next, lure the cat 3-7 tiles deep into a dead end (or pathway you no longer need). When the cat is close enough to attack you, pop Evasion and reposition yourself so that you are within 7 tiles of the pathway you want to exit towards. Finally, activate Hide in Plain Sight to lose the cat's focus, then Leap towards the corner of your escape path and walk out of the cat's vision range as quickly as possible (usually about 2 turns). Done properly, you will consistently move cats out of your way with minimal risk.

Version 1.0.0 glitch ('''Spoiler Alert'''):
*If you manually save your game within a dream and are not standing in the tile your Lost Man/Mouse originally spawned, your main adventurer will magically appear in your original spawn location. Your adventurer cannot be controlled, move, or use abilities, but they will use basic attacks against anything that attacks them. In the mouse dream, you may outright kill the level 1 cats by dragging them into your adventurer, which may be useful if your starting location is considerably hostile.

[[Category:Game Mechanics]] [[Category:Inscriptions]] [[Category:Items]]

== Summary ==

'''Inscriptions''' are activated abilities available to all characters, which provide general purpose help for the character. They include healing, removal of bad status effects, shielding from damage, increased visibility in dark areas, increased movement speed, teleportation, and elemental damage attacks.

== Background ==
ToME4's inscription system is one of the biggest gameplay changes from traditional roguelike games. First introduced in beta 14, the inscriptions (infusions and runes) replace potions and scrolls. The design goal behind inscriptions is to eliminate the time spent by the player "farming" potions and scrolls in weak zones, in order to make a run at a tougher zone. They are unlimited in use, but have cooldowns attached, so you must carefully time your use of them to survive. Unlike many other RPGs you cannot rely on a large stack of potions to get you through a tough battle. Mastery of the inscription system is a key step towards mastering ToME4.

== Using Inscriptions ==

Inscriptions come in two flavors: '''runes''' and '''infusions'''. Runes are magical glyphs drawn on the body like temporary tattoos. Infusions are natural substances smeared/attached to the body, like nicotine patches.

Inscriptions work like [[talent]]s: they have a cooldown period before they can be reactivated. Stunning can put your inscriptions on cooldown just as it does to talents. Some inscriptions have a duration as well as a strength to their effect, such as a rune that activates for 100 shielding over 6 turns. Some attack inscriptions have ranges of effect. Evaluating which infusion to equip can involve careful comparison of effect, cooldown, range and duration.

The character starts with 3 inscription ''slots''. Each slot may hold a single infusion or rune. Infusions and runes are objects that may be found in dungeons or bought in stores. Using one will add the inscription to your body, using up a free slot. If you have no free slots, then you may choose to destroy one of your existing inscriptions in order to make room for the new inscription.

Additional slots may be purchased for the cost of a [[talent]] category point, up to a maximum total of 5 slots. Category points are gained at levels 10, 20 and 36, and [[Cornac]]s also start the game with an extra category point.

You may not have more than 2 of the same ''type'' of infusion or rune. E.g. you may have 1 healing infusion and 2 regeneration infusions, but you may not have 3 regeneration infusions.

Activating an infusion gives you an effect called [[effect#Infusion saturation|Infusion Saturation]]. Using another infusion while this effect is still active causes its cooldown period to be longer. Likewise, the [[effect#runic saturation|Runic Saturation]] effect increases the cooldown periods of runes. The goal of this is to reduce "healing/regen spam" as a technique for outliving all incoming damage. Before you think ''But I want to survive forever!'' keep in mind that monsters use infusions too. If fighting an enemy who frustratingly keeps using a regeneration infusion remember that its cooldown will keep getting worse and worse as it uses it more, eventually allowing you to do sufficient damage to kill it before it heals again.

== Race and Class Restrictions ==

Each character starts with either 2-3 infusions or runes on its body, depending on race and class. [[shalore|Shaloren]], [[skeleton]]s and [[ghoul]]s start with runes (1 shielding and 1 phase door), all others races start with inscriptions (1 regeneration and 1 wild) and mana-using characters also start with a manasurge rune.

[[Skeleton]]s and [[Ghoul]]s may not use infusions at all. Their undead bodies cannot accept nature's balms. This means they require very carefully timed use of shield runes to survive the early game. Shield runes are essential to prevent taking damage in the first place, so that healing is made unnecessary.

Characters who take the vow of [[Antimagic]] may not use runes.

Note that an [[alchemist]]'s golem also has 3 rune slots (they cannot have infusions) and more can be granted through talents. You must switch control to your golem to attach a rune. Popular golem runes include shields, heat beam and acid wave.

== [[Ego]] Inscriptions ==

Like any other item, inscriptions can have an [[ego]]. Inscriptions egos give them increased power, based on the value of a specific stat (according to the ego). For example, "... of the sneak" increases the power based on your [[cunning]]. Sometimes they can scale much higher than regular inscriptions, making an ego relevant to your class especially desirable.

== Infusions ==
Infusions are natural inscriptions. They only work on living things, so the undead and constructs such as golems cannot use infusions.
