'''Ardaene''' is the regional capital of the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Free Cities]] and the wealthiest and most influential city in the region, set on the [[Pelervar/Zahari Passage|Zahari Passage]] where its harbours command the sea-lanes. It is a merchant oligarchy: real authority rests with the '''Council of Trade Princes''', who govern from the '''High Counting House''', while local magistrates keep the law.<br />
<br />
It is also where the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Council of the Free Cities]] convenes, which makes Ardaene the political centre of the confederation as well as its commercial one. The city keeps order with its City Watch, harbour guard, and local militia, hiring mercenary companies when it needs more, and it is one of the two great patrons — with [[Pelervar/Port Arenhold|Port Arenhold]] — of the fleets that patrol the Passage.<br />
<br />
Ardaene is known for wealth, diplomacy, and the influence of its guilds and temples, and for the endless manoeuvring of rival trade families. It is, in the end, a city ruled by coin, law, and negotiation — and, if the harbour gossip is to be believed, by a good many bargains struck well out of public sight.<br />

'''Template:NotePelervar''' renders an inline callout box, used across the wiki<br />
for "do not confuse" hatnotes and short asides.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<pre>{{NotePelervar|Your note text here.}}</pre><br />
<br />
The note text is the first (unnamed) parameter. It accepts ordinary wikitext —<br />
bold, italics, and [[links]] all work:<br />
<br />
<pre>{{NotePelervar|'''Do not confuse''' [[Pelervar/Ashford|Ashford]] with [[Pelervar/Eastwatch|Eastwatch]].}}</pre><br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
* Pipes inside <code>[[...]]</code> links are safe; the parser protects them.<br />
* If your text contains an equals sign, pass it explicitly as<br />
<code>{{NotePelervar|1=text with = sign}}</code> so it is not read as a named parameter.<br />
* The box ships with inline styles so it works on a vanilla install. To restyle<br />
site-wide, target the <code>.pelervar-note</code> class in<br />
[[MediaWiki:Common.css]].<br />

'''Ardaene''' is the regional capital of the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Free Cities]] and the wealthiest and most influential city in the region, set on the [[Pelervar/Zahari Passage|Zahari Passage]] where its harbours command the sea-lanes. It is a merchant oligarchy: real authority rests with the '''Council of Trade Princes''', who govern from the '''High Counting House''', while local magistrates keep the law.<br />
<br />
It is also where the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Council of the Free Cities]] convenes, which makes Ardaene the political centre of the confederation as well as its commercial one. The city keeps order with its City Watch, harbour guard, and local militia, hiring mercenary companies when it needs more, and it is one of the two great patrons — with [[Pelervar/Port Arenhold|Port Arenhold]] — of the fleets that patrol the Passage.<br />
<br />
Ardaene is known for wealth, diplomacy, and the influence of its guilds and temples, and for the endless manoeuvring of rival trade families. It is, in the end, a city ruled by coin, law, and negotiation — and, if the harbour gossip is to be believed, by a good many bargains struck well out of public sight.<br />

'''Ardaene''' is the regional capital of the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Free Cities]] and the wealthiest and most influential city in the region, set on the [[Pelervar/Zahari Passage|Zahari Passage]] where its harbours command the sea-lanes. It is a merchant oligarchy: real authority rests with the '''Council of Trade Princes''', who govern from the '''High Counting House''', while local magistrates keep the law.<br />
<br />
It is also where the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Council of the Free Cities]] convenes, which makes Ardaene the political centre of the confederation as well as its commercial one. The city keeps order with its City Watch, harbour guard, and local militia, hiring mercenary companies when it needs more, and it is one of the two great patrons — with [[Pelervar/Port Arenhold|Port Arenhold]] — of the fleets that patrol the Passage.<br />
<br />
Ardaene is known for wealth, diplomacy, and the influence of its guilds and temples, and for the endless manoeuvring of rival trade families. It is, in the end, a city ruled by coin, law, and negotiation — and, if the harbour gossip is to be believed, by a good many bargains struck well out of public sight.<br />

'''Ardaene''' is the regional capital of the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Free Cities]] and the wealthiest and most influential city in the region, set on the [[Pelervar/Zahari Passage|Zahari Passage]] where its harbours command the sea-lanes. It is a merchant oligarchy: real authority rests with the '''Council of Trade Princes''', who govern from the '''High Counting House''', while local magistrates keep the law.<br />
<br />
It is also where the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Council of the Free Cities]] convenes, which makes Ardaene the political centre of the confederation as well as its commercial one. The city keeps order with its City Watch, harbour guard, and local militia, hiring mercenary companies when it needs more, and it is one of the two great patrons — with [[Pelervar/Port Arenhold|Port Arenhold]] — of the fleets that patrol the Passage.<br />
<br />
Ardaene is known for wealth, diplomacy, and the influence of its guilds and temples, and for the endless manoeuvring of rival trade families. It is, in the end, a city ruled by coin, law, and negotiation — and, if the harbour gossip is to be believed, by a good many bargains struck well out of public sight.<br />

'''Ardaene''' is the regional capital of the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Free Cities]] and the wealthiest and most influential city in the region, set on the [[Pelervar/Zahari Passage|Zahari Passage]] where its harbours command the sea-lanes. It is a merchant oligarchy: real authority rests with the '''Council of Trade Princes''', who govern from the '''High Counting House''', while local magistrates keep the law.<br />
<br />
It is also where the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Council of the Free Cities]] convenes, which makes Ardaene the political centre of the confederation as well as its commercial one. The city keeps order with its City Watch, harbour guard, and local militia, hiring mercenary companies when it needs more, and it is one of the two great patrons — with [[Pelervar/Port Arenhold|Port Arenhold]] — of the fleets that patrol the Passage.<br />
<br />
Ardaene is known for wealth, diplomacy, and the influence of its guilds and temples, and for the endless manoeuvring of rival trade families. It is, in the end, a city ruled by coin, law, and negotiation — and, if the harbour gossip is to be believed, by a good many bargains struck well out of public sight.<br />

'''Ardaene''' is the regional capital of the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Free Cities]] and the wealthiest and most influential city in the region, set on the [[Pelervar/Zahari Passage|Zahari Passage]] where its harbours command the sea-lanes. It is a merchant oligarchy: real authority rests with the '''Council of Trade Princes''', who govern from the '''High Counting House''', while local magistrates keep the law.<br />
<br />
It is also where the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Council of the Free Cities]] convenes, which makes Ardaene the political centre of the confederation as well as its commercial one. The city keeps order with its City Watch, harbour guard, and local militia, hiring mercenary companies when it needs more, and it is one of the two great patrons — with [[Pelervar/Port Arenhold|Port Arenhold]] — of the fleets that patrol the Passage.<br />
<br />
Ardaene is known for wealth, diplomacy, and the influence of its guilds and temples, and for the endless manoeuvring of rival trade families. It is, in the end, a city ruled by coin, law, and negotiation — and, if the harbour gossip is to be believed, by a good many bargains struck well out of public sight.<br />

'''Ardaene''' is the regional capital of the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Free Cities]] and the wealthiest and most influential city in the region, set on the [[Pelervar/Zahari Passage|Zahari Passage]] where its harbours command the sea-lanes. It is a merchant oligarchy: real authority rests with the '''Council of Trade Princes''', who govern from the '''High Counting House''', while local magistrates keep the law.<br />
<br />
It is also where the [[Pelervar/Council of the Free Cities|Council of the Free Cities]] convenes, which makes Ardaene the political centre of the confederation as well as its commercial one. The city keeps order with its City Watch, harbour guard, and local militia, hiring mercenary companies when it needs more, and it is one of the two great patrons — with [[Pelervar/Port Arenhold|Port Arenhold]] — of the fleets that patrol the Passage.<br />
<br />
Ardaene is known for wealth, diplomacy, and the influence of its guilds and temples, and for the endless manoeuvring of rival trade families. It is, in the end, a city ruled by coin, law, and negotiation — and, if the harbour gossip is to be believed, by a good many bargains struck well out of public sight.<br />
