Many-Faced Strangers

In the forests of the Northeast, the Lunars under Tayan Silver-Crowned’s command assault the Realm’s far-flung satrapies. On the slopes of Mount Namas, two esteemed shahan-yas bitterly debate their course of action toward the expanding Prasadi empire. The elder Sublime Danger combs the Scavenger Lands for worthwhile opponents. And on the Caul, Sha’a Oka and his generals gather their forces, determined to drive the Dragon-Blooded from the last of the shrine cities.

Many-Faced Strangers details life among the Shadow Fang Vanguard, an authoritarian organization that split from — and occasionally finds its goals at odds with — the Silver Pact; describes Mount Namas and the expanding rift between its Lunar caretakers; expands upon the storied hero Sublime Danger; and introduces several gods and spirit courts of Luna.

This book also contains new Lunar Charms, artifacts, and Quick Characters. Finally, it outlines the War for the Caul, including a playable scenario.

Across the Eight Directions

From frozen Northern tundra to vast Southern deserts, from dense Eastern forests to the West’s endless waters, Creation shelters myriad cultures and civilizations.

Night horrors stalk the farmlands outside Whitewall, while residents and refugees within struggle with overpopulation and hunger. In the rebel satrapy of Fray, dragonlord Hanto Galina has named herself Empress and laid claim to the Scarlet Throne. Intelligent wolves rule in Wolf’s Paw, adopting human finery and demanding loyalty from human servants. By the Dreaming Sea, Tzakul relicts play their soul game, competing to seize opponents’ bodies. Varangian astrologers study citizens’ horoscopes, setting social status from the moment of birth. Alien structures loom over Decanthus, a Southwestern city recently returned from Hell. Smiths in the empire of Makelo produce fantastic works, their craft handed down from the forge-goddess Ninegala. An ominous heart beats beneath the Silverswept Plains, drawing the plains clans into the entity’s inhuman nightmares.

Across the Eight Directions provides details about locations throughout Creation, including their history, culture, government structure, religious practices, and more. It introduces new settings, and expands upon familiar locales. It also discusses prominent figures active in each location, and presents information on local neighbors such as allies, rival cities, or wilderness areas with intriguing mysteries for explorers to encounter.
