Everything Vela adds to Essence opens with buttons. The main entrance is the Vela menu: one window with sections, opened by the Herald of Vela next to the gatekeeper in every town or by the .menu command. The second entrance is Alt+B, the community board: shop, Buff helper, teleport and the Forge. Chat commands are only a fallback.
