In the
Beginning
The Light and Darkness was
separated by the great divide.
A great cataclysm happened
that destroyed the Great Divide
and the Light and Darkness
joined. It was here where they
touched that the realm called
the Penumbra or the
Shadowlands, was created.
It was from the Shadowlands
that the embodiment of
Shadows broke free and
threatened to take over all of
creation.
Seeing the threat, many tried to
contain the Shadows but could
not.
Eventually three very powerful
Beings hatched a plan to
contain and control the
shadow. These Beings created
a powerful magical sword
called Gloomheart. This sword
had to be merged with a being
to control it, A Keeper of
Shadows, also known as The
Shadowlord
6
The Grand Hall, the Iron
Tower of the Shadowlord,
two days ago
To the Keepers of Shadows, I
come before you to deliver
news. As you know, I am
Nightjar, Mistress and Caretaker
of the Iron Tower, here in The
Shadowlands.
Every centennial I make a
report to you, updating the
goings on in the outside world
which is denied to all of you
who have now passed on and
live only in Shadow.
While that report is a ways off,
the acquiring of a new Keeper
of Shadows demands an
immediate update.
A Tale of Two Brothers
But first let us go over the last
Keeper of Shadows tenure. As
you all know, his name was
Jeremy Nolan of the Realm
called Earth from the city of
Cincinnati.
Nolan had a twin brother
named Gene Nolan, who
would later revealed to be a
Dream Sovereign, one of
Earth’s most powerful second
only to Donovan, the current
Morpheus of the Parliament of
Dreams. Gene would also
become a Creator. Growing up
the two brothers were not like
most twins, holding no special
bond between the two. Instead
they were like The Light and The
Darkness. Gene was well liked
by everyone, Jeremy was not.
Gene excelled in his
schoolwork, Jeremy did not.
Every act committed by Gene
seemed blessed while Jeremy’s
were all cursed.
Gene held a game he played
with a group of friends down in
the basement of their family
home, once a week. This game
consisted of the brothers and -
friends pretending to be people
of a far off mystical land who
worked magic and fought
dragons.
The group consisted of The
Twins, a girl that both twin held
affections for named
Gwenevere, and of course the
now famous Archmage known
as Zoso. There were others that
took part in the weekly game,
but that roster changed as time
went on.
The Night of Acceptance
On the Earth date of October
the 3rd, 1979, Jeremy waited
downstairs in the dark for his
brother to come home.
The day before Jeremy found
out that his brother was now
courting the young Gwenevere
whom Jeremey held great love
for, and he waited to confront
his brother.
When Gene came in, he was
startled but suspected that his
7
brother knew of his and
Gwenevere’s affair.
The two argued while standing
over the table they would lay
out their terrain and lead figures
for their game. The argument
became very heated and
boiled to a point until they saw
it. Levitating in complete stillness
above the table was the Sword
of Shadows, Gloom Heart.
As we all know when Gloom
Heart is left without an owner, it
seeks out the most powerful
being it can find. In this case
that being was Gene, who was
a naturally born Dream
Sovereign.
The two were astonished to see
that an item that was a fiction
of their game was indeed real.
Gene shared the fact that the
sword was calling out to him to
take it. A fact that drove
Jeremy to anger. Once again,
he was failure. Out of rage
Jeremy grabbed the sword.
Gene, knowing what that
meant tried to cry out to his
brother to stop, but it was too
late. Jeremy Nolan took on The
Mantle of Shadows. His soul
forever bonded to the
Penumbra.
A New Shadow Lord
Recently a group of
adventurers found the Vault of
the Creator where Gloom Heart
was being kept under lock and
key. Zoso imprisoned Jeremy Hail Dalök !
inside the sword itself. The New Keeper of Shadows!
Something that had not been Hail Dalök!
done for centuries. May your reign last forever!
Despite the safeguards placed Hail Dalök!
on the Vault the group pressed Let you keep the Shadow from
on until they came upon the the Lands of the Living.
room housing the Sword of Hail! Hail! Hail
Shadows. It was our new
Keeper of Shadows, Dalök, who
saw the opportunity to end
Jeremy’s reign and start his
own.

Dalök
I now come to the reason we’re
all here, introducing the new
Keeper of Shadows, the new
Shadow Lord, Dalök. Right off
the first thing of note is the fact
that Dalök is a child of Eshu the
Trickster God, the first Keeper to
be such.
Already Dalök has found that
the Penumbra has unleashed
levels of power to him unknown
before. No longer is he bound
by his raven form or human
form, being able to turn into all
forms of beasts. Dalök has
already let me know that there
will be many changes to the
Iron Tower while he is here. I’ll
keep you all informed of those
changes before they are
implemented. But for now Let
us draw quarter to our new
Shadow Lord.

A Brief (and mostly
incomplete) timeline of
Evermore as told by the
Mistress of the Iron Tower,
Nightjar.
Greetings travelers! I hope your
stay at the Iron Tower is an
enlightening one. But we must
keep if short for the true master
of this place is not here right
now and he does not take well
to visitors. I know you come
here seeking knowledge on the
true history of Evermore. I have
been here at the Iron Tower
since the creation of the
Shadowlands themselves. So I
assure you a fantastic tale.
The Night of Creation
On the Earth date of October
the 26th,1979 , Gene Nolan
enacted the Great Rite of
Genisis, forming the world of
Evermore. The act of enacting
the Great Rite meant that his
very essence was spread
throughout Evermore
effectively ending his life for a
long but temporary period of
time
Zoso takes on Stewardship
of Evermore
As his final act before joining his
essence with Evermore, Gene
gave his friend Zoso stewardship
over Evermore, making Zoso
9
immortal as long as he stayed in
the realm.
Those that came before
Before Zoso began what would
later become known as “The
Great Transference” other forms
of life started to appear on
Evermore. These were mostly
Dreamfolk that would become
living flesh through the Great
Rite. But there were others from
stranger realms that made
Evermore their home. One of
them was the Titan Tiamat who
would later be overthrown by
the Gods of the humans, her
corpse creating the vast ridge
of mountains named after her.
By the time humanity started to
show up, the world of Evermore
was well populated with several
sentient beings.
The Great Transference
Zoso took it upon himself to
populate Evermore with
humanity. He did this through a
powerful rite called The Rite of
Transference. This rite allowed
Zoso to travel throughout
Earth’s timeline and take those
that were destined to die to be
replaced by clone replicas (so
they would not be missed) and
be taken to Evermore where
the mark of their death would
not be upon them.
But there was one byproduct
to this rite-they forget who they
were. In fact the Rite of
Transference gave them new
memories that was created by
the realm itself.
Evermore’s King Arthur for
example was a late middle
aged black Janitor from 1966
Mississippi, USA.
A remembered history
Not all humans that were taken
for the Great Relocation had
their memories wiped.
About 100 members of various
tribes of North American Indians
had their memories left intact
by the trickster god Eshu, who
tricked Zoso into taking him with
the relocated humans.
Today descendants from those
tribes know the true story of
how they came to be
inhabitants of Evermore though
most outsiders, especially those
followers of Sol, see this story as
bunk.
The Atlantean Invaders
About a thousand years ago
from current time an invasion of
Aberrations from the Way Outs
came to Evermore in an area
now called Atlantis. These
Invaders took the human
population into enslavement
and experimented on them
and bred with them creating all
kinds of monstrosities.
Their rule was absolute until a
rebellion occurred overthrowing
10
the Alein Invaders. What’s
that? Why yes I do know who
partook of the rebellion but
cannot reveal that information-
for now.
The City of Atlantis is filled with
buildings and other marvels
done by the Atlantean Invaders
to this day. On Earth their work is
found in what they call
“Ancient Egypt”.
To this day many ancient True
Atlantean strongholds are
found having long since been
buried over time.
Dreams made flesh
As was mentioned earlier, those
humans that were brought over
to Evermore believed
themselves to be people of
myth and renown but with a
twist and turn from the myths of
Earth. Albion is the collective
name for the 12 Kingdoms,
each one founded by a knight
of the Round Table. Same
myths and storylines but with
twists and retelling from that of
Earth.
A Fantasy Paradigm
The world of Evermore has been
around for thousands of years
but little has changed since its
creation. This is despite the fact
that new technologies have
come and gone and been
introduced to the people of the
world.
11
Even when new technologies Return of the Creator
occur they rarely take in the
minds of man for long. The
reason for this is simple, the
mind of the Creator set the
reality of the realm and it could
not change. That is until
recently when the Creator’s
essence was reformed by Zoso
using Gloom Heart . The world
of Evermore, being freed from
the Creator’s bonds will now
age and progress as time sees
fit. These will indeed be the last
days of Atlantis.

The Sovereign Wars

One hundred years ago a war
broke out between a powerful
cabal of wizards, the church of
Sol and the largest dream
sovereign sanctuary. The war
involved almost all of Albion
and lasted for just five years. But
in that five years over a 1million
people died. The result was a
cold war that lasted another 10
years. Today the inflexible
Church of Sol Invictus has bent
and allowed not only the
Sovereigns but other faiths to
pass through and even set up
(within reason of course) in the
lands of the unconquered Sun.

STEP 1: Roll
Attribute Scores
Determining
Attribute Scores
Roll a d6 adding it to the
number 7. The result will be
between 8-13. Do this for a total
of 6 times and assign to the
abilities you want.
Strength (STR)
Raw physical power. Use STR for
use of melee weapon, parrying,
feats of strength.
Dexterity (DEX)
Deftness and agility. Use DEX for
using ranged weapons,
dodging, riding, pick locks...
Constitution (CON)
The body's capacity to resist
physical stress.
Use CON when resisting fatigue,
poison or diseases.
Intelligence (INT)
The ability to apply your
knowledge to the situation at
hand. Use INT when.
Deciphering a dusty tome,
conceive a battle plan, find an
exit in a labyrinth...
14
Wisdom (WIS)
Steadiness in a stressful situation.
Use WIS for Initiative,
overcoming fear and resist
mental stress.
Charisma (CHA)
A measure of a character's
ability to influence others. Use
CHA to persuade or intimidate
others.
Attribute Tests
When a character tries to do
something that has a chance
to fail, the player makes an
attribute test by rolling a d20:
Rolling below attribute: the
character succeeds
Rolling on or above the
attribute: the character fails or
can choose to succeed at a
cost.
Attribute tests can be done for
many reasons including:
Skill Checks
Trying to perform a skillful test.
Use the attribute that most likely
falls under the purview of the
skill being attempted.
Many backgrounds give
advantage in certain skills, such
as the Rogue in thievery.
Saving Throws
Saving Throws are resolved by
using the attribute that most
closely aligns to the situation at
hand.
Example: A saving throw to
take only half damage from a
ball of fire would be a Dexterity
Check, while making a saving
throw to survive being poisoned
would be a Constitution Check.
Succeeding at a Cost
On ANY roll during play (except
for a Stress Roll) the player can
succeed at a cost. This basically
means that whatever is
attempted succeeds but there
will be a cost to it.
Example: Argon’s mace misses
the True Atlantean’s head.
Argon decides to succeed at a
cost allowing the attack to hit
but at the cost of the mace
slipping out of his hand and
sliding dangerously close to a
sewer grid.
15
STEP 2:
Choose Kin
Kin denotes a group of similar
beings that can include their
species (like humans), being
build (manikins) or situation of
their creations ( Tricksters).
Choose one kin and while some
strange circumstances may
occur( acts of the gods, wishes
etc.), kin rarely changes.
Many of the kin presented here
are very situational and so
usually don’t form large, if any
communities among
themselves. A manikin may go
days, months or even years
before finding another manikin
with the same origin of its
creation. Even so, there are
special communities of like Kin
that have banned together for
one reason or another.
Humans are one the few kin to
have formed large communities
and divided them into
Kingdoms, City States and the
like.
16
17

Blooded
Blooded are those born of the
union of humans and various
supernatural beings including
angels, archons, devas, devils,
demons, dragons, elementals
and fae among others.
Blooded look mostly human
with only small vestiges of their
supernatural ancestor.
Even so, they clearly are not
human. Depending on the
circumstance of their birth,
reaction to Blooded can be
mixed. Some are ridiculed or
scorn by the society they are
born into, while others are
revered or even worshiped, the
society seeing the birth as
divine. Blooded are a mixed
bag when it comes to worship,
some are devout cultist while
others hate the gods
and some take on the mantle
themselves forming cults of
personality. They speak
Common Trade and the
language of their supernatural
ancestor.
Alluring
All blooded attract attention to
themselves like a moth to a
flame. All Charisma rolls have
advantage.
18
Two Spirit
For all purposes concerning Kin,
blooded are considered to be
both human and their
supernatural ancestor.
Bloodlines
The number of possible
supernatural ancestors a
human can mate with are
wide. These are the most likely.
Changeling
Those that are related to fae of
all types including the likes of
redcaps, sidhe, satyrs and
nymphs and others from Elfland.
Besides Common Trade, they
speak Sylvan.
Dragonborn
Descended from dragons of all
types, Dragonborn speak
Common Trade and Draconic.
Elementalkin
Blooded related to Baron
elementals, Jinn and others
from the Elemental Planes.
They speak Common Trade and
Nephilim
Blooded related to beings from
the Aligned Planes including
angels, archons, demons and
devils.

Creator’s Image
Humans are the most varied of

Creator and his home world

including their vast civilizations.
Humans begin at character
creation with a +1 in all
attributes.

20
21

Manikin
Manikins are sentient,
humanoid constructs. Some
were created for a special
purpose while others became
sentient by strange magics or
occurrences.
Many evolve to look for
meaning in life and take to a
life of adventuring to discover a
higher meaning.
Scarecrows and Tin men of Oz,
the Warbots of the True
Atlanteans, the Clockwork
Sisterhood of Phaedra or evil
ventriloquist dummies brought
to life by dark magics are all
examples of manikins.
Manikins speak Thyrenian and
one other that reflects a
purpose or their creator (if they
have one).
Ghost in the Machine
Manikins are living constructs
made from various inorganic,
nonliving substances and
brought to life through magic.
They are subjected to magic
like all other living things
including healing. They do not
eat, drink or breath
22
Electric Sheep
Manikins are inactive four hours
each day. This is very similar to
sleep in that they are unaware
of their surroundings unless
awaken out of this state. They
dream during this inactive
period.
If I only had a Heart
While some manikins have
hearts of gold (literally!) try as
they might, they still have a
hard time understanding
organics, especially their
emotions. On any charisma roll
concerning social interactions,
manikins have disadvantage
.
They Keep Killing Suzie
Anytime you roll a helpless roll
you can reroll it taking the best
of the two. If you survived after
rolling on the Helpless table,
add your level to the HP you
get back (Not to exceed your
CON score).
“Real isn't how you are made,'
said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing
that happens to you. When a
child loves you for a long, long
time, not just to play with, but
really loves you, then you

A metamorph can alter their
form to exactly mimic another
humanoid. This requires just the
briefest of physical contact and
for the metamorph to roll Stress.
Becoming Stressed means the
metamorph is trapped in the

Trickster
Tricksters are intelligent animals
that can take on human form.
They are the children of the
Trickster god Eshu but are not
divine themselves (though
some of them through trickery
gain followers) and can die like
any other living being.
Tricksters reproduce by unions
with humans or animals of their
type. They cannot reproduce
with each other. Tricksters do
not live among human
settlements(at least not out in
the open) for their well-
deserved reputation of causing
trouble. Many times have poor
innocent animals been killed for
thinking it was a trickster.
Tricksters speak Thyrenian and
their species tongue.
The Noble Form
The true form of the Trickster. It
appears as a normal animal of
its type. The trickster retains its
ability scores in this form.
Their bite and claws do armed
damage. They can speak any
language they know in this form
giving way to fables that
mentions talking animals. When
they are sleeping or otherwise
unconscious or dead, the
Trickster reverts to this form.
They can use all languages
they know in this form.
Typical Trickster species include:
26
Carp, Cat, Coyote, , Fox, Hare,
Raven, Raccoon, Swan & Wolf
The Hooman Form
The foil of the trickster. This form
appears as a normal human
though traits of the trickster
shines through (like a large nose
for an avian trickster or being a
very hairy brute). They can use
beast speech in this form. To
change into this form the
Trickster takes one of their turns
and rolls Stress. A roll of 1
indicates the Trickster is stuck in
their Horrid Form. Until a short or
long rest is done. All items worn
in the Hooman form melds
when changing into the Noble
Form. Items cannot be used
when melded.
Grand Trick
At character creation the GM
secretly rolls a d8 and notes it.
This number is the number of
times added to the one, giving
a number of 2-9. This is the
number of time the trickster can
instantly come back from the
dead. The only limit is that a
trickster cannot come back if
the death was caused by a
lawful being, a divine being or
another trickster.

Assassin
Unique Background
+1 DEX
Those that kill for money or
some other compensation have
been around since the
beginning of time. And then
there’s the fact that some
assassins are directed to kill for
other reasons, be it political or
religious.
In fact many assassins don’t
even see what they do as
wrong. The Church of Sol even
has a holy order that goes out
and “stops tyranny before it
begins”.
Assassinate
Roll your first attack against an
unaware target. If the attack
hits, the target is killed
automatically. This attack can
be applied to any one handed
melee weapon or ranged
weapon. This ability does not
apply to beings that have no
discernable anatomy or are
immune to critical hits.
Master of Disguise
Assassins gain advantage on
rolls to disguise themselves
taking on a different persona.
Disguises that are too different
from the assassin can take
away the advantage or if very
far (like say a human disguising
themselves as dragon) will give
disadvantage.

To the west of The Great Spine
all societies are thought to be

is true. West of the Great Spine

environments making the mold

Favored
Soul
Unique Background
+1 WIS
The gods are basically all liars to
some extent. Most lay claim to
having had a hand in the
creation of Evermore. Very few
people know the truth that their
world was created by an 18
year old bisexual nerd from
Cincinnati, Ohio.
Even so, the gods are very
powerful beings that can grant
miracles to those they favor.

Miracles
These are gifts given by the god
to the favored soul. At
character creation the Favored
Soul starts with one miracle.

High Priest
At 10th level you can now
create Holy/Unholy Tokens or
Relics.

38
39
Inventor
Unique Background +1 INT
On the world of Evermore
magic takes many forms. The
mages have their spellbooks,
the favored souls bend knees
to their “gods” but inventors rely
upon the magic of “Science”.
This isn’t the science of the
Technocrats that rule Earth, but
the science of wonderment.
This is the laboratory of
Dr. Frankenstein, or the shut in
trying to create a Philosopher
Stone, or even the strange
science from the Way Outs.
During the Sovereign Wars they
worked behind the scenes to
help the Sandmen to gain
freedom from the Church of Sol
Invictus and with the recent
separation of the Creator from
Evermore, The magic of
Science just might become a
foundational part of the World
of Evermore.
Weird Science
The Inventor has the gift of
Weird Science being able to
create various gadgets. See the
Weird Science part in the Gifts
Section.
Esteemed colleague
At 10th level the Inventor takes
on the title of Esteemed
Colleague. They are able to
create Token and Relic
Gadgets.

Knight
Errant
Unique Background
+1 CHA
Knight Errant are the lowest of
the noble orders who are
paragons of Chivalry. Almost all
Noble Orders of Knighthood are
found in the 12 Kingdoms of
Albion.
To play this character the
player must decide if the
character is on a personal
quest or is working for a noble
or noble order.

Noble Standing
• At character creation you
begin with a horse and
everything needed to ride it. All
riding rolls are at advantage.
• You also begin with a suit of
Plate armor, shield (with your
coat of arms on it).
• Also, in most civilizations you
gain advantage on social rolls
when dealing with those who
back ideas of chivalry.

Chivalry
A knight errant must serve
someone or some cause —
normally a deity, greater noble,
order of knighthood, or the like.
The cavalier must seek to
sustain the virtues and the
code of chivalry.

42
43
Mage
Unique Background +1 INT
Magic flows through the very air
of Evermore. Mages are those
that have learned to harness it.
In Evermore they create a
triune power structure with the
Dream Sovereign and Favored
Souls. This may take on a
greater dynamic with the
addition of the Psychics and
the Weird Science of Inventors
since Zoso untethered the
Creator from Evermore.
The role a mage takes depends
on what spells they learn. Some
lean towards summoning and
others through divination while
others delve into necromancy
or various other murky
practices.

Magick
Through learning spells, you
channel your innate magickal
nature. You have the gift of
Magick and start the game with
one Magick Spell .

Archmage
This title (achieved when
attending the 10th level,
indicates that the mage can
now create Magickal Tokens,
Relics and Grand Rites.

44
45
Rogue
Unique Background
+1 DEX

use guile and deceit to get
what they want. Some Rogues

morels while others are the
lowest of the low.

actions Involving finding and
disabling traps, stealth,
pickpocketing, eavesdropping,
and streetwise savvy.

Thieves Tools

a set of Thieves Tools to help
them in their trade. Included in
this set are :
Small files of various grit, a set of
lock picks, a small mirror
mounted on a metal handle, a
set of narrow-bladed scissors, a
pair of pliers, and small disguise
kit (unlike assassins, rogues do
not get advantage on their
disguises.

46
47
Psion
Unique Background +1 INT
The influence of the True
Atlanteans runs deep in
Evermore. So much so that
certain humans, either through
experiments conducted by the
aliens or direct contact with
their strange equipment gives
one the ability to unlock the
powers of the mind.
The Psychic is a very rare
background in the world of
Evermore and if more than one
is in the same adventuring
group they most likely will share
a common way they have
acquired the background.
The vast majority of the people
of Evermore have no idea on
the origins of psionics but if
word gets out, the psychic can
be looked down upon by them.
The vast number of psychics are
found within or near the Great
Spine of Tiamat and near great
ruins of the True Atlanteans.

Psionics
Psions have the gift of Psionics,
drawing from the power of the
mind. They begin the game

Relics.

transcend and control the
world of dreams. You have the
Gift of Somnium and start with

dream that the sandman came
into their power. This mask is a
minor Dream Token. If the mask
is ever destroyed, than the
sandman has to go on a quest
(with or without his friends) to
gain another one.
Dream Masks can look like just
about anything but all are
unique and as the sandman
gains levels the mask is
recognized by others in the
know as a coat of arms would.

Rules
Advantage &
Disadvantage
Having an Advantage or a
Disadvantage on a roll means
that it should be made twice:
• Advantage allows the Player
to choose which result to use.
• Disadvantage means the GM
chooses the result to use.
For the GM: use this rule to
reflect bad or good conditions
that can influence an attribute
test or a roll, this might be a
strained relationship or having
the right tools for the job.
• For the player: try to create
situations where your character
can get an Advantage: find a
better position, help another
character, offer a bribe, etc.
• Advantage and
Disadvantage can apply to all
die rolls: attribute tests, damage
rolls and any Usage die.
• If a roll happens to have both
Advantage and Disadvantage,
they cancel each other (no
matter how many Advantages
and Disadvantages you have).
60
Critical Success and
Critical Failure
No matter what the modifiers
are:
• A roll of 1 is always a critical
success
• A roll of 20 is always a critical
failure
For an attack roll, a critical
success means the character
does maximum damage and
adds another damage (dmg)
die on top of that.
Whatever the roll, a critical
failure means you must make a
Stress roll (see below).
Distances
Close, Nearby, Faraway and
Distant. Moving one range
requires one move action.
Depending on the length of a
Turn, the actual distance
covered by the character will
vary, for example in combat:
Close ■ 5’ ■ 1 square
Nearby■ 30’ ■ 6 squares
Faraway ■ 60’ ■ 12 squares
Distant ■ Beyond 60’.
Group Test
In a group effort, if half the
characters succeed at their
attribute test, the whole group
does
Turns
A Turn is the time needed for a
character to move and act. In
game time, a Turn may
represent (during a combat), a
few minutes, a few hours or
even a few days. The game is
always played in Turns.
One Turn, Two Actions
A character can only take two
actions during his turn. The
action complexity (and the
distance covered with a move
action) depends on the length
of the Turn as established by the
GM (moments, minutes,
hours...). There's a catch
though, if you take the same
action twice you must make a
Stress roll (see below).
Perception
When characters are actively
looking for something, they find
it. If time is of the essence,
players should make an INT test.
Stress
Stress is a form of Usage Dice. It
begins as a d6 and goes to a
d8 at 10th level. Depleting the
Stress die means the characters
brings stress to themselves for
the thing that was rolled for.
Roll Stress when:
• Taking the same action twice
during a combat Turn*.
• Using a Gift that requires it.
• Getting a Critical failure on an
attribute test.
• Whenever you want to try
something outside of your
character’s purview.
61
• The Stress die returns to its
maximum (a d6) after the
character has taken a long rest.
• Players can choose to "invite"
stress: roll Stress and subtract
the result from one of your
character's attribute test or add
it to a damage roll.
• The Stress die automatically
degrades.
Example: Zoso casts Fireflies and
must roll for Stress. Unfortunately
he only has a d4 on his stress roll
and rolls a 2, becoming Stressed
for the spell Fireflies only until he
completes a Long Rest
Becoming Stressed
When a characters Stress Dice
becomes depleted after the
d4, that thing that thing that
was rolled for becomes
Stressed.
Usage Die (UD)
This mechanic represents mostly
abstract resources: such as
influence, debts, etc.
The Usage die should be seen
as a “push your luck”
mechanic. It can grant you
some advantages, but it can
also blow up in your face at the
worst possible moment. This
should not be to manage
concrete resources like rations,
or arrows . Counting arrows is
not rocket science nor is
recording the use of a week’s
worth of rations. A Usage die
should represent something
important, not the content of
one’s backpack.
• When a resource is used, you
roll its Usage die; a result of 1 or
2 means the Usage die is
downgraded to the next
smallest die:
Ud20>Ud12>Ud10>Ud8>Ud6>Ud
4 • A successful attack deals
• When you roll a 1 or 2 on a
Ud4, the resource is depleted.
• As a guide, the average
number of uses until the die is
depleted for each Ud is as
follows: Ud20: 30 - Ud12: 20 -
Ud10: 14 - Ud8: 9 Ud6: 5 - Ud4: 2.
COMBAT
Initiative
At the beginning of a combat,
every player makes a WIS test.
Those who succeed act before
the opposition, starting with the
player seated at the left side of
the GM. The rest acts after the
opposition, once again, in a
clockwise fashion.
A critical success gives you an
additional action on the first
turn.
A critical failure leaves you with
just one action on the first turn.
What can I do?
During their turn, characters
can take two actions. Roll Stress
if you take the same action
62
twice (move, attack, use some-
thing, cast a spell, etc.).
Attacking
• Using a melee weapon: make
a STR test
• Using a ranged weapon:
make a DEX test
damage (roll damage die)
• A critical success deals
maximum damage and adds
another damage die on top of
that.
Attack Effects
If you want to add an effect to
your attack, say so before you
make your attribute test and
then make a Stress roll. NPCs
don't have access to weapon
effects.
Break: You break your
opponent's weapon (or a piece
of equipment) as you throw
them to the ground.
Brutal: Add the Stress die result
to the damage you inflict.
Disarm: You do no damage but
your target is disarmed.
Entangle: You do no damage,
all attacks against the target
during this Turn are done with
Advantage.
Pin down: Inflict regular
damage and your target
cannot move this Turn.
Sacrifice: Roll damage twice
(three times if your attack is a
critical hit) but the weapon
breaks.
Sweeping: Hurt everyone close
to you (friend and foe).
Swift: Inflict regular damage
and immediately get an
additional attack
Vicious: Inflict regular and
ongoing damage (a d4).
Defending
Parrying: make a STR test
Dodging: make a DEX test
• The character must be
holding something to be able
to parry.
• Ranged attacks can only be
dodged.
• A failed defense roll means
the character takes damage.
• A critical failure means the
character's armor is ignored
Threat Level
If an opponent’s level is higher
than the character’s level, the
player should add the
difference between the two
values to the d20 when making
any attribute tests to attack,
defend, influence, or otherwise
interfere with their opponent (if
the character's level is higher,
no modifier is applied).
Armor
The armor's protection rating is
subtracted from the incoming
damage (which can therefore
be reduced to zero).
63
Shields
• Shields give you Advantage to
your defense tests when
parrying.
• You get Advantage when
rolling to Parry.
• On a critical failure your shield
is broken.
Two-handed weapons
These weapons give you
Advantage to their damage
rolls.
Ongoing Damage
• Things like acid or fire deal
ongoing damage, this means
the victim takes Ud4 points of
damage each Turn until the
dice degrades.
• Armor is useless against
ongoing damage.
Health & Recovery
Short rests
• Short Rests can be taken
anywhere: they take 1 hour.
• characters recover a number
of hit points equal to half their
CON score (rounded down).
• A character can take one
short rest per day.
Long rests
• Long rests must be taken in
safe environments: they last 6
hours, and characters recover
all their hit points.
• All Stressed Conditions are
taken away.
• Stress Dice are fully restored.
• Some backgrounds and gifts
may require a long rest to
refresh. This is mentioned in their
description.
Hit Points
• When an NPC's Hit points
reach 0, it's dead.
• At 0 Hit points a character is
Helpless.
• Once the combat is over (or
the character is taken to a safe
place), the player rolls a d6:

Helpless (d6)
1.Scratched
the character is good to go
except for a new scar.
2.Missed
one(randomly picked) piece of
equipment is destroyed.
3.Impaired
Disadvantage on DEX tests for
the remainder of the session.
4.Injured
Disadvantage on all attribute
tests for the remain- der of the
session.
5.Butchered
lose1 point of STR or DEX
permanently.
6.Death
Create a new character that’s
the same level as the dead
one).

NOTE: A surviving character

(results 1 to 5) immediately gets
d4 HP back.

GIFTS
Gifts are magic. The form that
magic takes on depends on the
one using it.
Sandmen use magics from the
dreamlands called Somnium.
Favored Souls use magic called
miracles they get through their
relations with their god.
Inventors use magic through
the Science of the gadgets
they have created.
Mages uses magic by learning
spells and incantations through
magical tomes. Their magic is
called Magick(with a K to
distinguish it from others).
Psychics use magic in the form
of Psionics of the mind.
Common Gift traits
• All gifts require a Stress Die roll.
Like all things in life, even with
gifts, nothing is certain.
• When the user of the gift
becomes Stressed, that is the
stress dice runs out after a d4,
the gift cannot be enacted
until a short or long rest.
• Each Unique background
that uses gifts starts the game
knowing one gift.
• New gifts can be gained
either through in game
experiences or by choosing it as
a Boon.
66
• Unless otherwise stated in its
description, you must be able
to see the target of a gift to
affect it.
• Gifts that don't have a
duration stated in their
description end at the next
dawn.
The following gifts are just
examples of what is possible
and it’s encourage for the
players and GM to come up
with new ones.
Gadgets
Gadgets are the most versatile
of Gifts simply because most of
them can be used by
anyone(with a little training by
the Inventor). The one
drawback is that someone that
is not an inventor rolls their stress
die at disadvantage when
trying to use them.
Artificial Limb
Functions like a normal limb and
can be sacrificed to negated
damage. No roll needed. Some
inventors have replaced all of
their limbs.
Bomb
On the first use of this gift for the
day, the inventor rolls u4 to
determine how many bombs
they have for the day. The
bomb does d20 damage to

damaged also.
Clockwork Porter
The inventor creates a
mechanical being to serve
them. This Porter cannot do
combat but can bring items to
the inventor and perform small,
minimal tasks. The personality of
the porter will vary, but the
porter always has the welfare of
the inventor in mind unless one
particular thing happens, the
invention or accusation of
another Porter. At this point all
bets are off and the original
porter will first destroy the
“replacement” and then the
inventor. Making having more
than one at a time impossible
except by acquiring a new one
through a Boon.

Miracles
Alter Fate
The Favored soul can call upon
the fates to slightly alter a
person’s future. On a successful
Stress Roll the Favored Soul
replenishes an individual’s Stress
Die. This can be done only
once to an individual between
long rests. Doing so before that
gives the Favored soul the Stress
condition for Alter Fate.
71
On a roll of 1 the favored soul is
Stressed till the next Long rest on
ALL rolls.
Commune
The favored soul can directly
commune with their god. How
this happens depends on the
deity, some talk in booming
voice while others send
messengers. The favored soul
can ask one question or request
one intervention. On a
successful Stress roll the god will
respond favorably (though not
necessarily in the way the
favored soul might wish). While
there is no number of attempts
the soul can make, doing so
multiply times before taking a
long rest results in the failure roll
to go up.
On a roll of 1 the god swiftly
punishes the favored one (but
not with death).
Example Alexander Leviareth
restores his Trickster friend’s
Stress, than about an hour later
restores his own stress. At this
point he not only can fail on a
1or 2, but also a 3. Furthermore
the two becomes a critical
failure and the god give swift
retribution.
Gate
The favored soul opens a portal
from one realm to another.
Opening a portal that the
favored soul’s deity has no
access to or where their enemy
resides is done at
disadvantage.

unsavory comes through the
portal that is antagonistic to the
favored soul.
Heal
The favored soul touches an
individual and heals them of
wounds, diseases and even
severed limbs. The amount
healed is d6. When healing
someone more than once
before a long rest, the roll is
done with disadvantage.
On a roll of 1 the favored soul
rolls for the healing but instead
of healing the subject, the
favored soul takes that amount
of damage. It is possible to die
in this manner.
Sacred Flame
The favored soul burst into
flames that does not damage
the soul. The color of the flames
reflects the soul’s alignment.
Law is white/yellow while
neutrality appears normal while
Chaos is black/blue. Anyone
that comes into contact either
through touch or a weapon,
takes a d4+1 hit point of
damage per level of the soul.
This includes beings that are
immune to fire. Sacred Flame
lasts u4 in rounds.
72
On a roll of 1 the favored soul
also suffers damage from the
flame.
Unrestrained Passage
The Favored Soul is unrestrained
in his walking for u6 rounds. He
can walk on water or even air.
Very rough terrain is like walking
a paved road. The only
drawback is that the soul must
not stop while this miracle is
being enacted. Stopping can
harm the soul.
On a roll of 1 the GM secretly
rolls a d6. Even the Soul takes
damage as the miracle stops
working while rolling odd means
that the soul’s feet become
blistered, reducing speed by
half until healed.
Psionics

and travels the astral plane.
One other person per level of
the psychic can travel along.

that if severed loses the astral
form.
Bilocation
The psychic is able to be in two
places at one. In many ways
the double is a solidified Astral
form. The psychic must divide
it’s actions and movements
with the double. If the double is
reduced to 0 hit points, the
actual psychic becomes
unconscious for u4 turns.
On a roll of 1 the double is
created but takes on a life of
it’s own doing the opposite of
what the psychic wanted.
Clairvoyance/
Clairaudience
clairvoyance means “clear
seeing,” and involves seeing
what cannot be seen by the
eye including auras,
materialized ghost, or things
that are invisible and even
detecting the presence of
psychic tokens and relics.
On a roll of 1 the psychic has a
backlash that makes the seer
blind until the next short or long
rest.
Psionic Blast
The Psychic mentally assaults
the subject’s mind, over
working their mind. The subject
makes a WIS roll. Failure
indicates that the mind is
overcome and they walkabout
in a confused state. A dramatic
failure on the roll indicates the
subject falls unconscious. On a
73
roll of one the psychic
experiences a Psychic Back
lase giving the psychic mental
pain for u4 rounds. All rolls by
the psychic is at disadvantage
for the time.
Telekinesis
The psychic can manipulate his
surroundings with the power of
the mind. The amount they are
able to lift and manipulate an
item is equal to what they can
physically lift and manipulate.
On a roll of 1 the psychic is
exhausted and cannot use
telekinesis again until a short or
long rest.
Telepathy
The psychic can mentally
communicate via the mind with
anyone in sight that has a
spoken language. If the subject
does not want to communicate
then The psychic must roll Stress.
And must roll WIS.

cannot communicate with the
subject until a short or long rest.
Somnium
Body Horror
The sandman causes the
subject to experience horrific
body horrors that physically
manifest in the Waken World for
ud4 rounds. Teeth falling out,
sausages for fingers, all orifices
closed up by skin, bugs
crawling under your scalp that
you just HAVE to dig out. For the
time in effect all rolls for the
subject is at disadvantage and
it does 1d4+1 hit point per level.
On a roll of 1 the affect is
permanent.
Dream Cobbling
The sandman can take
dreamstuff from the
dreamlands and cobble it into
any simple item. The item can
look mundane though they
rarely do since most sandmen
use past experiences from their
time in the dreamlands to help
take shape with what they
cobble. The size limit is a total of
one square foot per level of the
sandman. It takes ten minutes
per foot to complete. These
items are not permanent
though, disappearing the next
sunrise. But by using a dream
chest, they can be made
permanent.
Also note that while the
sandman can make something
74
look like the real thing, it is not.
Cobbling Gloomheart does
makes a sword that looks just
like it but has none it’s abilities
(though it can still be used as a
mundane weapon. Also
somnium only pertains to
nonliving things. A bear cannot
be cobbled together but a
costume of a bear or a statue
of one could.
On a roll of 1 the sandman has
failed and made a great mess.
The item falls apart and
dissipates.
Dream Wish
The sandman goes to sleep and
dreams of a desire of his. Upon
awakening, he finds that it
comes true. Examples of this
somnium includes missing limbs
coming back better than new.
Healing of permanent
conditions like blindness,
deafness or disfiguring scars.
Dream Wishing relics and other
unique items only gives a item
that looks like the wish but do
not provide the benefits.
On a roll of 1 the sandman
The Gates of Ivory
There are two ways to enter into
the Dreamlands. The first is
through the gates of Horn,
which every sleeper does every
night. The second, through the
Gates of Ivory is to actually
open a portal to the
Dreamlands. The sandman and
up to one other person per
level of the sandman may
enter.
On a roll of 1 the gate opens,
but not where the sandman
wants it to and of course this is
not known until you step
through.
Phantasm
A dream within a dream within
your waking hour. Are you
dreaming or is this really
happening? Oh it’s happening
Buttercup.
The sandman chooses the
subject rolls WIS. If they
succeed, the subject is
trapped between the Waken
World and the Dreamlands. For
the most part phantasm makes
the victim think they are in the
waken world until something
odd happens. The girl you’re
chatting with suddenly has
teeth for eyes, and then she
doesn’t. Each time a “hiccup”
occurs, the player rolls WIS. If
they succeed, they are
frightened and have
disadvantage until it ends.
This somnium ends at the next
sunrise.
On a roll of 1 the effect is
permanent.

THE
WORLD OF
EVERMORE
October 26th, 1979, One minute
after Midnight, one year later.
The two young men stood on a
floating rock adrift in space, in
an area that bordered the
Dreamlands.
Gene Nolan, a dream
sovereign who had just
enacted the Great Rite of
Genisis. The other was Zoso,
Gene’s best friend who was
more a brother to him than his
own brother who betrayed him.
Zoso looked out over the
cosmic event that was
unfolding. His friend had just
enacted a Rite that would
create the world later to be
called Evermore but would also
consume him.
“Gene stop this! The Rite will kill
you!” Zoso pleaded to his
friend.
The year they spent in this realm
was filled with danger and
great adventure and the
imprisonment of Gwenevere.
They were still wearing the
same clothes they were
wearing when they all first
entered the portal a year ago.
“The Rite will transform me
Jacob. not kill me.” Gene
closed his eyes and
contemplated on what was
about to happen.
80
Zoso looked around a feeling of
hopelessness overtook him as
he saw the cosmic nebula start
to advance toward the rock
they were standing on.
He wrapped his arms around
Gene and started pleading
with him to stop the Rite even
though deep down he knew
that it could not be stopped
now.
Gene turned to Zoso and said
“ I will come back from this and
when I do we’ll free Gwenevere
and punish Jeremey for what
he did. I promise. “
Zoso looked Gene in the eyes
and said “But that will be many
years from now. I’ll be dead!”
Gene smiled and gently took his
friend’s head In his hands and
said” No. you will not die. I
make you, Zoso, Steward of
Evermore, it’s ruler and
protector and give you the
immortality that comes with it”
He gently kissed Zoso on the
lips.
Gene turned back around,
picturing his friend in his mind
hoping to keep the image
locked in place.
A single tear ran down Zoso’s
cheek. “Gene I don’t know if I
can do this…” he didn’t get to
finish his sentence for Gene
teleported him away before he
changed his own mind about
what he was doing. Besides one
more moment and what was
about to happen to him would
also happen to his friend.
Gene was in complete stillness
as the nebula descended and
pulled him apart atom by atom,
finally forming the world of
Evermore.
Creation
Known to but a handful of
those that live in Evermore, the
event of its creation was not
governed by the gods but by
an 18 year old boy named
Gene Nolan of Earth. Nolan
used the Talisman of Infinite
Dreams to create Evermore.
The timeline of creation and
how it came about seems
disjointed at best.
When the world of Evermore
formed it’s history and flow of
time was imprinted from
Nolan’s psyche just as many
baby animals who are hatched
imprint on their mother.
The Sovereign War
One hundred years ago a great
war broke out between the
Church of Sol Invictus and the
largest Sovereign Enclave, The
Brotherhood of Morpheus.
Though this war only lasted a
little over a year, vast numbers
of people died because of the
war.
The War started at a small
Sovereign Enclave located far
81
up from the village of Knorr at
the foot of the Spine of Tiamat.
In the end the war cumulated
at Tor Peak, where the
corruption of one of the Sol
Invictus kingdoms was revealed
as having caused the war in the
first place. As a result of the war
new treaties were written up.
One hundred years after the
Sovereign War an uneasy trust
has been established between
the clerics of the gods and the
sovereigns.
In The Kingdoms of Alvon
Dream Sovereigns are allowed
egress but are subjected to
severe punishment for the most
trivial of offenses.
In Avalon Sovereigns must be
careful not to question the
authority of the Church of Sol
Invictus.
Beliefs
The world of Evermore has a
wide range of religious
institutions and thoughts. Beliefs
can be divided into three main
groups. First there is the Church
of Sol Invictus, which
Calendar
The current calendar used
today in the Twelve Kingdoms
came about right after the
Great Cataclysm. Though it was
set up by the early Church of
Sol Invictus, it is like many things
of Evermore, a reflection of
Earth’s calendar right down to
the number of days in a week,
month and year. Even names of
the days of the week reflects
Earth’s. There are of course
other calendars used on
Evermore, most being found
East of the Spine of Tiamat. But
to those who live West of the
Spine this calendar is the only
one used. Even in Kelta, , where
resistance to be absorbed by
the church are under way, the
Calendar of Sol Invictus is used
Seasons
Evermore has four seasons as
does Earth. Each season is
controlled by the faerie courts
which brings them head to
head with various divine beings.
Geological Features
The World of Evermore for the
most part follows the rules of
science concerning the world.
The atmosphere is like that of
Earth’s (though free of smog)
Gravity works the same as on
Earth and so on. The
circumference of Evermore is
74,800.00 miles. It has a sun
called Sol and three moons
called Luna, Calypso and Sin
Languages
Alashan This language comes
from the corrupt empire of
Alasha.
82
Amaric This language is spoken
by those under the thumb of
the Mad Jinn and his Caliphate.
Askavian a crumbling empire
Auran* Spoken by Air based
creatures.
Aquan* Spoken by water based
creatures.
Chalidim Spoken by Tribal
desert dwellers East of the
Great Spine.
Deep Common * Trade tongue
spoken by those that live far
underground.
Draconic * A difficult language
to learn, Draconic is the
language of dragons of all
types and the basis of magical
formulas.
Duhuang Is spoken in the
Forbidden City and the Eastern
principalities
Infernal * The tongue of the 9
Hells. Spoken by devils, demons
and those that have dealings
with them and scholars.
Jurka Mostly known by the Iron
Horde. A barbaric tongue.
Naruan A tongue spoken by
most residing on the Shattered
Islands. Considered a barbaric
tongue by the lands of Albion.
Pictish Spoken mostly by the
Picts that inhabit the island of
Kelta.
Silent Tongue This is a system of
communication that came
down from House Pendragon at
the beginning of the founding
of the houses. It, like many
things in Evermore, is derived
from Earth and in fact is a
derivative of American Sign
Language. It is common
among the nobility being
almost a necessity for Noble
Houses that drip with intrigue. It
is also known by many Assassin
and Thief guilds.
Sylvian * The language of all
those that live in Elfland.
Terran
Spoken by Earth based
creatures.
Thyrenian* The Merchant
league tongue. Almost
everyone knows this language
either to trade or through basic
learning programs.
True Atlantean* True Atlantean
is a “dead tongue” that hasn’t
been spoken for over a
thousand years. Even so, it has
survived and is used by many
who know of it through ancient
study or having a connection to
the True Atlanteans.
Urgic Language spoken by the
Northern raiders
Albion
Land of Chivalry
Albion makes up most of the
“civilized” world. It consists of
the Twelve Kingdoms. These
kingdoms are feudal. Religion is
dominated by the Church of
the Sol Invictus. Even so, there
are holdouts throughout the 12
Kingdoms of older gods being
worshiped.
83
To the eyes of those living within
the Twelve Kingdoms, they are
the center of the civilized world.
To the East is the Spine of
Tiamat, which divides the
civilized world from hordes of
Barbarians and various horrors
beyond the imaginings of the
people of the Twelve Kingdoms.
Each Kingdom is ruled by a
noble family that can trace
itself to one of the 12 Knights of
the Round Table
When Evermore came into
existence it was a world that
imprinted on the Creator’s
experiences, thoughts and
feelings. At first there were no
humans in Evermore until Zoso
himself brought people to
populate it. These people it
seems took to this “imprinting”
and many things mirrored the
myths and stories of Earth.
The 12 Kingdoms reflects the
stories of Camelot down to its
codes of Chivalry and it’s
structure of society of nobility,
serfdom and church.
Some of the names of the
twelve kingdoms include
Camelot, Cornwall , Galeas
and Summer
The Haunted Forest
This vast forest stretches most of
the 12 Kingdoms outlined along
the Spine of Tiamat. While trade
routes outline the forest, very
few go through it. The reason
for this is the belief that those
that die in the forest are
destined to wander it as ghosts
trapped forever in the forest.
The second and most important
reason is that the Haunted
Forest is ruled by the Iron claw
of Black Agnes, a green hag of
demi-goddess status. All who
live or even passes through the
Forest are under her rule, like it
or not
Alkebulan
Kingdom of Ivory
The Kingdom of Ivory is covered
with dense forests and savanna
plains. An abundance of
wildlife is found here as is many
forgotten things. Vast, ancient
cities are found deep in the
Jungles of the Kingdom.
Gwangi Valley
Tucked away from the world in
the heart of the Kingdom of
Ivory sits the Valley of Gwangi.
Actually, much larger than a
valley, Gwangi is a lost world of
dinosaurs and other ancient
creatures. A strange, highly
evolved group of lizard men
make their home here and
places of worship still survive.
People from all over the world

ATLANTIS
City of Atlantis
The city of Atlantis is a vast, old
city that has a long history of
siege and wonderment. Today
it stands as the crown jewel of
the world. A large portion of the
city shows the remnants of the
True Atlanteans and their
architectural wonderment. The
city is under control of a large
Atlanteans
Those people who now call
themselves Atlanteans are a
long way from being those who
originally claim the name. In
fact, many scholars think that
the people who now call
themselves Atlantean were
once the original Atlanteans’
slaves. When talking of
Atlanteans, there are those that
live in the City State of Atlantis
and those that live outside of
the City State, on the continent
of Atlantis. The City State
Atlanteans are mostly of the
noble class where those living
outside are lower class. No
matter the class they come
from, most Atlanteans are
arrogant, similar in the same
vein of the Nimbus, Most are
olive to pale in skin color with
very dark hair. No other
civilization (save for the Nimbus)
has such a high level of
magickal understanding then
the Atlanteans. Many speculate
this is because so many artifacts
of the Ancients had been
found here.
BARSOOM
The Red Desert
Barsoom is the land of intrigue,
danger and adventure. It is a
land of desolation filled with
great wonders. Filled with brutal
civilizations, it’s also a land with
a vast number of barbarian
tribes that fight tooth and nail
for dissolute land. It’s a land
filled with cults dedicated to all
kinds of strange gods that
demands blood sacrifices.
Dragon Graveyard
The Dragon Graveyard is a
large desolate area littered with
the boney remains of dragons
of all ages and sizes. The area is
picked over by scavengers of
all types, but care must be
taken for it is well known that
living dragons visit the
Graveyard sporadically and
they do not like non dragons
there.
Kara-Tur
Kingdom of Jade
Remote and cut off to the
known world, The Kingdom of
Jade is an esoteric and exotic
land. The people there are
gracious to a fault and have an
elaborate system of honor
foreign to the Twelve Kingdoms.
Divided up into large

Providences. Samurai bow
before their Daimyo. Monks
sequester themselves in
monasteries high up in the
mountains learning the ancient
martial arts.
Seven Golden Vampires
The vampires of the East are
very different than the ones
found in the Twelve Kingdoms.
For example, they are able to
walk about in the sunlight. Each
of the 7 Providences of the
Kingdom of Jade has a
vampire that claims control.
These “7 Golden Vampires” do
not have actual control over
the Providences as does the
Celestial Emperor. Instead they
conduct underhanded Yakuza
activity that reverberate
throughout the Kingdom of
Jade.

Home of the Fey, Stone Circles
and Druids. Kelta’s almost as
untamed as Hyperboria.
In the lowlands you have the
Pict, who are great fighters that
make war in the nude, made
up in tattoos that magically
protects them. In the Highland
mountains kilt wearing
clansmen war against each
other, only joining together to
combat outside threats. The
Church of Sol Invictus has tried
to “educate” the “savages”
much to the dismay of the
Invictus ministers as their heads
are put upon sticks as warnings
to others.
Children
of the Golden Oak
This small, but powerful Fey
Circle has branched out from
Evermore and can be found
popping up in various
unexpected places. The
Children are a Fey circle that
has become corrupted by evil.
Spine of Tiamat
Where Tiamat meet her
end
This vast mountain range
stretches the full length of the
continent separating Albion
and Hyperboria. Legends say
the mountains are the actual
spine of the dragon Tiamat and
were formed when the gods
created the world from her
corpse.
Griffin Riders
of The Great Spine
High on the Spine of Tiamat an
order of knights protect the
West from barbarian and
monstrous threats from the East.
This knightly order uses griffons
for mounts.
86
Vault of the Creator
Located far from prying eyes,
the Vault of the Creator is well
hidden. It is said to house the
body of the Creator himself and
house many great, powerful
magical items.
Hyperboria
Here there be Dragons
At The northern reaches of
Hyperboria is the area known as
the Wild Lands or on many
maps known as simply as The
Barbarian Hordes. These vast
permafrost plains stretch for
miles and miles and woe to
those who find themselves
stranded out in this vast
wilderness. Large tribes of brutal
barbarians roam the area and
called it home. Just beyond the
lands of Midgard lives giants.
Thule
If there is a Kingdom associated
with Midgard, it would be Thule.
Thule is actually made up of
over 24 barbarian tribes formed
in a council.
Nimbus
The Nimbus are a people who
live in great cities in the clouds.
They are arrogant, literally
looking down on those who
walk the face of Evermore.
They wear loose fitting robes of
white draped around their
frames and sandals that range
from the foot to knee high. The
vast majority of them have at
least some knowledge of magic
and many of them have rings of
flying or levitation. The vast
majority of Nimbus people are
frail looking with pale skin and
light hair colors.
Sunkissed Ocean
The vast Sunkissed Ocean of
Evermore holds many secrets
and dangers. On the other
hand, it also holds many lost
treasures and long lost
civilizations. While there are
established routes that sailors
travel by, they are nowhere
safe.
Isle of the Dead
This is the home of the god
Donn. It is where all who die
goes. It is more of a way station
to the afterlife than a final
destination.
When a person dies on
Evermore their spirit goes to a
sort of way station called the
Isle of the Dead, which is ruled
by the god Donn. Eventually
the souls go to their perspective
final resting place, though
when this happens can be a
process that takes centuries, as
Donn is reluctant to give them
up. Many stories abound about
heroes who have transverse the
Island’s gates to save a loved
one.
87
The Afterlife
What happens at death is up to
debate from realm to realm.
But in Evermore is even more
unclear.
Upon death there are several
possibilities, including going to
the Isle of the Dead and
Reincarnation.
At the moment of death the
soul takes a trip with the
boatman Charon or one of his
fellow helpers to the shores of
the Isle of the Dead. This Isle is
under the rule of Orcus.
Upon here the stories varies. The
most reliable of tales state that
the place is like a clearing
house for the departed. Some
get reincarnated (especially if
done so by the Rite of
Reincarnation)while others wait
for their chance to “move on”
to the Seven Heaven or Nine
Hells. Others are condemned to
Spend an eternity on the Isle of
the Dead
Stone Titans
Far out in the Sunkissed Ocean
standing alone as sentries of for
reasons unknown are five
statues of what appear to be
human males. The statues are
all male, with one of them
broken off diagonally in its
stomach area it’s top half
laying on the ocean floor. They
are so tall that they stand on
the ocean floor and they stick
out at chest level from the
surface
Shattered Islands
The Remnants
of a Dead God
A vast stretch of islands that
range many miles in the
Sunkissed Ocean. These Islands
are home to a large variety of
societies and individuals who
wish to leave society behind for
many reasons. The Islands
isolation also means that the
islands are fertile with unique
things.
Ape Island
This strange island is covered by
a strange green energy field
similar to the Arora Borealis. This
field stops all magics -both
arcane and divine-from
working. Magical items still work
though. One of the more
strangest things about Ape
Island is the fact that it’s ruled
by intelligent apes and the
humans that live there are like
dumb animals.
The Black Idol
The small island of Tor is home
to a sinister structure called The
Black Idol. This statue towers
over the Island and looks like a
statue of a sinister figure in
black obsidian. The purpose of
its existence is unknown since
no one has returned from
exploring it.
88
Deviant Island
This Island is home to Deviants
created by an Atlantean Mage
using True Atlantean magics.
The Deviants were enslaved by
the Mage until a group of
adventures invertedly freed
them.
The Lasarus Initiative
Ten Islands were settled by
humans from Earth a decade
ago. It would seem that they
are no longer there, having
abandoned the settlements
long ago. What was the
Initiative and how they got
there and what happened to
them all remains a mystery
Temple of Evil Elementals
On this island a temple that was
dedicated to the Princes of
Elemental Evil. Portals to the
elemental planes can be found
here.
Zakhara
Caliphate of the Mad Jinn
Also known as the Kingdom of
Sand, The All-Seeing Jinn rules
this area of Evermore with an
Iron Fist. He enforces horrible
rules upon the peoples living
under his thumb for the sole
purpose of keeping power to
himself

The
Gods of
Evermore
The Great American Dust Bowl,
Kansas, USA,1938
Symore Balen sat watching the
great dust cloud overtake the
farms off in the distance. The
circus he recently joined had
set up outside of the small town
from where the carnage was
taking place. As a clown, Balen
tried to make light of very dark
situations, but this was too
severe. People were losing their
homes and livelihoods.
He sat on a back lot to be
alone. He was dressed in his
street clothes but had not yet
taken off his makeup. The
clown face painted smile
contrasted with his real-life
frown.
A single tear slowly rolled down
his cheek. He held the Smith&
Weston revolver in his hand,
spinning the fully loaded barrel,
snapping it in place then doing
it all over again.
He put the gun to his head then
took it down again as fast. He
kept doing it over and over,
each time deciding not to pull
the trigger.
He cried out a sob of despair as
he looked back over to the dust
cloud. At that moment he
noticed what appeared to be
91
a smaller dust cloud break
away from the larger one. As it
did so, it formed into what
looked more like a twister and
started to move over to the
circus with great speed.
Balen had seen both Dust
Clouds and Twisters and this
was behaving like neither.
The twister seem to have a
mind of its own as it moved
toward the circus. In fact, it
looked to be coming right to
Balen. Balen tried to move, tried
to warn the others but could
not. Something was preventing
him from doing so.
He dropped the gun and stood
up and moved toward the
twister which was now upon
him. It stopped some 40 feet
from him. And while it was
raging, the air around it was still.
Inside the twister was the
shadowed, featureless figure of
a man lying on the ground. The
twister dissipated; the air
around now filled with a raging
wind.
Balen walked over to the figure
who looked up at him. Balen
couldn’t make any features
out. The figure was as if it was all
shadow.
“I am Nergal” it said in a
booming voice. Balen started
shaking in every fiber of his
being.
The figure strained to reach his
hand up toward Balen and
said, “Take my hand!”
“Take his hand? “Balen started
to run away, but again
couldn’t. Some force was
preventing him. Instead of
running he walked over to take
the shadow’s hand, which felt
cold to the touch.
“I am the storm that rages in
the skies and the hearts of men.
For centuries I had waged war
and pestilence. But now I rest. I
must rid myself of this burden,
which you will take.”
“No...” Balen tried to resist but
could not. Nergal held his wrist
firm while a stream of what look
to be black tar moved out from
Nergal’s fingertips and moved
up Balen’s arm to his mouth.
The Divinity Strain washed over
him, killing him and making him
reborn. Nergal let go of Balen
and slumped to the ground
dissipating in a burst of wind
and then he was gone.
Balen’s eyes filled black with
the Divinity Virus. His clown face
seemed to become part of his
actual face as Balen’s grin
grew from ear to ear and his
mouth opened impossibly wide
to show a mouth full of long,
sharp teeth.
He looked over to the tents and
horrible thoughts started to
overtake him.
A look of horror came over his
face as he realized what he
was going to do.
Balen panicked trying to think
of how to contain the urges he
92
had inside when an inner
calming thought told him what
to do. Balen waved his hand
before him and a portal to
another realm opened.
Though he did not know how
he knew, he knew that Earth
was too dangerous. Something
called the Veil of Reason would
stop him. He needed to go
through this portal he somehow
had created.
He ran towards the portal but
stumbled to the ground.
Something was keeping him
from getting up. It did not
matter. Balen dragged himself
to the portal to safety.
Yes. He would go through the
portal to his freedom. The
freedom he needed to do what
must be done. And so, he
dragged himself through the
portal, to the land known as
Evermore.
Attaining Godhood
There are many ways one can
attain “godhood” in Evermore.
The more common methods
include:
Ambrosia
The “Food of the Gods” is a
strange concoction that can
only be crafted by another
god. Allowing someone to eat
of it is very regulated among
the gods, at least it’s supposed
to be. In actuality many times
the gods have used ambrosia
to further their own desires and
causes.
Birthright
Gods born of gods are well
known. These divine beings
more often than not, have a
haughty attitude towards the
“others” who in their opinion, do
not deserve divinity.
Consuming a God
Suffice it to say, not a popular
option among the other gods.
Consuming a god can take
many forms from taking the life
energy in some fashion to
literally eating the full corpse of
a god. One human even ate
an egg spawned by a fish god
consuming the divine child
within
Divinity Virus
Twenty years ago the Lasarus
Initiative discovered what they
termed “The Divinity Virus ”. Just
what the Divinity Virus is and
where it came from is unknown,
but what is known that those
that “catch” it are transformed
into powerful beings. Gods?
Perhaps, but it not only
transform the subject physically,
but also mentally. Many of the
gods of Evermore have
ascended by being exposed to
this strain.
93
Divine Ranking
There are three rankings of gods
by those that study such things:
God
Beings with this ranking can
affect whole realms and have
very large followings. They also
tend to have domain over
either very important things
(such as the Sun) or concepts
(such as Love).
Demigod
While still very powerful, these
gods tend to hold sway over a
single domain, their powers
being limited to that domain.
Ishtar is the exclusion to this,
having domain over three
aspects.
Godling
These beings have only come
into godhood very recently. At
most they are very powerful
beings that are now divine in
nature. They tend to have little
to no followers at this point.
Eventually they will (in theory at
least) become either demigods
or full gods in their own right.
Dominions
Dominions are aspects of reality
that the divine being has power
over. In game terms the divine
being is able to alter reality in
subtle and not so subtle ways.
This power over a dominion is to
a point limited to how many
followers the god has at any
time and if they have a
connection to them, that is, if
they are on the same realm as Sol
their followers.
Followers of a particular god will

The Eight Million Gods
Not actually 8 million in number,
the term was coined for all of
those “gods” outside of the one
true god of the Church of Sol.
In truth there are probably no
more than 30 in all of Evermore
that are actually of divine
origin, the rest being either
supped up beings or those that
gained worship through trickery.
Animal Princes
The Wild Princes
Divine Rank Godlings
Dominions Represented animal
species
Symbol Claw marks
Each animal has a prince(or
princess) that rules and
watches over their species. The
animal princes have three forms
they take, that of their animal
subjects , that of human and
that of a half human/half
animal form.
The animal princes have no
human followers (and want
none) though there are humans
who give thanks to them for
animals they have hunted. In
fact there is a 10% chance
anytime a hunter does not give
thanks that the animal prince
might appear wanting
attribution for the kill.
96
Balen
The Clown Prince
Divine Rank Demigod
Dominions Buffoonery,
Madness, Entertainment,
Laughter
Symbol White circle with red
dot in the center
Balen is a god whose origin
traces back to the Earth Realm
where he started as a human.
He was “infected” by the
Divinity Virus by the god Nergal
who was tired of his divine,
eternal nature.
The Clown Prince has a
presence among his clergy but
is rarely seen in person.
Balen has many aspects that
can change on a dime. On one
end he is fun, laughter and
cheer on the far other end he’s
the evil clown that waits in the
darkness. His clergy reflects this
from one congregation to
another.
Balen’s acolytes dress as clowns
and jesters. They spread cheer
and madness across the world
of Evermore, traveling the world
in circuses, bringing the Clown
Prince’s doctrine to the masses.
Baalzebul
The Lord of Flies
Divine Rank Godling (devil)
Dominions Corruption,
Pestilence, Lies
Symbol The devil’s personal
seal.
Baalzebul is a Duke of Hell that
controls the dominions of

He appears as a human with
the head of a bloat fly. When
meeting in person he can
choose for the meeting to be
pleasant, with the smell of
honeysuckle in the air or being
bathed in a gut retching smell.
He's always looking for the next
Deal, be it money or souls.

work slowly with great precision
to corrupt the followers of Sol.
Cultists gather at nights where
the moon is obscured and
wanning.

The Dark Mother
Divine Rank Godling (Green
Hag)
Dominions The Haunted Forest
Symbol Clawed, green hand

needs, from saving the Forest
from invasion to the birth of a
child.
Elemental Barons
Rulers
of the Elemental Planes
Divine Rank Godlings

four elements

by various beings of power,

sheer force. Each elemental

the world of Evermore.

god from Earth until that’s
realm’s Veil of Reason forced it
to flee.
Eshu’s children, The Tricksters

been able to make important
impacts on the world of
Evermore. Eshu’s children do

The clergy of this demigoddess
are all sacred prostitutes whose
acts of prostitution are used to

All Souls Hospital, San
Francisco, California, 1984
Zoso walked quickly through
the Infectious Diseases ward. His
time on Earth was short and
there was much to get done.
He passed a nurse with the
name “Samantha” on her
uniform and gave her a look.
The nurse tilted her head to
Room 312.
Zoso stood in the doorway
looking at the horrible sight.
Laying in front of him was his
High School Lover Dennis,
ravaged by AIDS.
Dennis seemed only half aware,
looking like he weighed no
more than 80 lbs. His face was
ghost white with Kaposi’s
Sarcoma markings adorning his
face.
“Dennis” Zoso said in a low
voice. He had to talk but felt
like he was intruding. Dennis
looked up; his face showed
confusion.
“Jacob. Is that you?” his head
started ever so gently to twitch
uncontrollably.
“It is.” Zoso said as he walked
gently across the room to the
side of his bed.
Dennis’s hand reached up to
Zoso who took it into his own.
“But how? The four of you
107
disappeared. Where did you
go? They looked for you for so
long...”
“That’s not important now my
friend. I’m here and I’m going
to help.”
Dennis started to laugh, or at
least tried to. He was so for
gone, even that little reaction
was too much.
Zoso sat on the bed, he lay his
hand on Dennis’s neck and
took out what looked like a
small bottle and held it up.
“Look. I got you a Potion of
Healing” Dennis looked up
through his cloudy eyes and
closed them “I don’t
understand. Like in your
games?” Dennis remember the
four of them, Gene,
Gwenevere, Jacob, and
Jeremy playing every Saturday.
Dennis himself played a few
games. His character was a
Knight.
“Yes. Like in the game. Only
now it’s real. Gene made it real.
Evermore is real.”
All of it was too much for Dennis
to take in. He started coughing.
Zoso got closer and using his
voice to focus said: “Dennis, I
need you to drink this. Trust me.
Just open your mouth.”
Dennis opened his mouth very
slightly and Zoso poured it in.
The second Dennis swallowed
he felt a flood of energy
overtake him and in almost an
instant he was healthy and
strong again with no sign he
was ever sick. He looked at
Zoso and around the room.
He leapt out of the hospital bed
and went to the mirror. The sight
of his blemish free face made
him cry. He turned to Zoso and
said “It’s true. You created your
world. But how?
Before Zoso could answer,
Nurse Samantha came to the
door with a very angry face
“why the fuck don’t you just use
a blow horn “he said to Dennis.
“I’ve been out here all this time
making certain no one
interrupted you but there is only
so much I can do” Though the
uniform didn’t change, the
nurse’s form changed into a
man’s body, but the face
shocked Dennis. The face
looked washed out with a thin
layer of skin over it. “what the
fuck? Dennis belted out.
Zoso stood between the men
and said “This is Charade, a
metamorph. My lover”
“This can’t be happening” the
sentence escaped Dennis’s
mouth just as he looked back
over to the nurse, this time he
looked like Bette Davis in
“Whatever Happen to Baby
Jane”.
Charade belted out “But it is
Blanche! It is! And then he
changed back into Nurse
Samantha.
Zoso was pissed. His lover was
being jealous. “Charade go
108
back out. We’ll be there in a
minute.”
The Metamorph left. Zoso
looked Dennis in the eye “Look,
I know it’s a lot to take in, but
we have to act fast. The magics
I have placed here will be gone
soon. All will be explained later,
but I need your help and I need
to know if I can count on the
most handsome knight in all the
realms.” Zoso smiled.
Dennis was speechless but
nodded yes. “Good!” Zoso
said. My stays here on Earth are
limited for now. I need you here
to help me out. The first two
things I need you to do is open
a bank account and buy a
Lake House in Cincinnati for
me.” As he was telling Dennis all
this, Zoso opened the closet
and took out a plastic bag that
had the clothes Dennis came in
with. He gave them to Dennis,
who took them and started
getting dressed.
“Jacob, do you have
more…Healing Potions? I know
so many who are dying...” Zoso
cut him off saying “I’m afraid
not. Potions like that are hard to
come by even for one such as
myself.”
As he was putting on his shoes,
Dennis said “what about
Resurrection? Can you bring
someone back? Patrick, my
Lover, died two months ago.”
He looked up to Zoso with
pleading eyes. Zoso came over
and put both hands on his ex’s
shoulders and said “It’s possible,
but Dennis it’s a life for a life. I
know how you feel but believe
me the dead should stay
dead.” There was a very short
but pregnant silence broken up
by Charade entering the room
again as Nurse Samantha, only
to change into a black middle-
aged woman. “She’s coming
around the corner and almost
saw me”.
“Ok let’s go! Zoso said as he
took Dennis’s hand and lead
him out of the room. The three
men casually walked out the
door, passing the real Nurse
Samantha along the way.
Dennis and the nurse looked
directly at each other, but she
didn’t even bat an eye.
“Yea about that, I had to make
it so that all who knew you have
forgotten you. I can’t have
someone looking into how a
man with a terminal illness
suddenly got cured. “
Dennis shook his head. “It
doesn’t matter. All my friends
died in the last few months”.
“Not all Dennis. Our Saturday
night gaming group is still alive,
just held…prisoner for the time
being. But we’re going to free
them.”
Dennis looked bewildered by it
all as they walked out to the
parking lot. “But how am I going
to do the things you want? Do
you have the money? “Zoso
109
smiled at this and took out a
velvet pouch and opened it.
Inside were golden coins,
minted with a face Dennis had
seen before. “Are those
Atlantean coins? Like in the
game?? “
Zoso laughed saying “They
certainly are and there are
many more of those for you.
You’re going to take those to a
collector I know and he’s going
to give you a good amount for
them.
They got up to the car and as
they were getting in Dennis
asked “You said they are
prisoners. Who imprisoned
them? Zoso’s face turned
serious for just a second and
said “Jeremy” Dennis didn’t
know exactly what that all
entailed, but he was not
surprised to learn this. The twins,
Gene and Jeremy, were always
at odds
Alfheim
Home of the Fae
Alfheim, also known as Faerie,
or Elfland, is a realm that hangs
in eternal sunset or sunrise
depending on the Court any
particular fae belongs to.
The sky is lit with a low hanging
light of the sun with the
shadows of darkness ever
present. Alfheim has all four of
the seasons depending on
which Court is in power.
Entering Alfheim is dangerous to
mortals since time does not flow
the same as it does in the
mortal world. One can spend
one hour in Alfheim only to find
that a month has passed in the
mortal world, while on another
visit spend a year in Alfheim but
upon returning find that only a
minute has gone by.
The Fae make Alfheim their
home and in fact are it’s
indigenous inhabitants.
The realm is ruled by Four
powerful Fae Lords connected
to the Seasonal courts of Spring,
Summer, Winter and Fall.
Aligned Planes
Resting
place of the afterlife
After a soul leaves the Isle of the
Dead(if they leave) they go on
to an afterlife. Those who die on
Evermore go to one of three
places listed below. Do souls
stay here for eternity as is told in
the great books of religions or
do they go on to something
else? It remains a mystery.
The Seven Heavens
The plane of ultimate Law, The
Seven Heavens ascends from
the shores of Mt. Celestia to the
utter top of the mountain that
reaches the celestial Vault.
The Celestial Vault
Nirvana
110
Mechanus
The Nine Hells
The Abyss
Astral Plane
The Place Between it all
The Astra Plane is the “glue”
that holds all other realms
together. All realms and planes
of existence can be reached
using the Astral Plane in real
time.
Dreamlands
Abode
of Dreamers Everywhere
When you dream, you go to the
dreamlands. Any realm that has
dreamers has a gateway to the
dreamlands.
Gates of Horn and Ivory
There are two ways of entering
the dreamlands being the
Gates of Horn and Ivory.
The Gates of Horn is opening a
portal where one can physically
enter into the dreamlands. The
gates of Ivory is entered when
one dreams.
When dreaming, all things that
happen while in the
dreamlands are temporary
including dying (unless you die
in the Dream Heart).
When physically in the
dreamlands, death is very real
and permanent (unless brought
back through some
extraordinary means).
Time
Time is meaningless in the
Dreamlands making it possible
to travel through time by way of
the dreamlands. It’s possible to
physically enter the dreamlands
at one specific time and exit at
another though doing so can
be accomplished only by a
truly talented dream sovereign.
Connectivity
Any realm that has even one
dreamer can be accessed
through the dreamlands.
Dreamscapes
A dreamscape is a pocket
dream created by a dreamer
or even a group of dreamers.
Most dreamscapes disappears
when the dreamer awakens.
But many do not, allowing the
dreamer to visit each night they
sleep. The dreamer that dreams
about their dead mother night
after night, the impoverished
dreamer that dreams only
about money are both
examples of this.
• Each dreamscape has a
rating of 1-10 corresponding to
the dreamer’s level.
• While in the dreamscape the
dreamer that created it can
change it if they successfully
lucid dream. The creator of the
111
dreamscape has advantage
on this roll, but again only if they
can lucid dream. Those not
native to the dreamscape have
disadvantage on rolls to
change the dreamscape.
• While sandmen and other
beings that can control dreams
have their advantage
cancelled out when trying to
control another’s dreamscape,
the rule of Threat Levels still
applies.
The Dream Heart
At the center of the
Dreamlands lies the Dream
Heart. It is here that the nature
of the dreamlands are the most
real. It is here that even those
that entered through the gates
of Ivory can die.
Earth
Home World of the Creator
The vast majority of inhabitants
of Evermore don’t have even
the most basic concept of the
possibility of a Realm like Earth
let along the fact that one of its
inhabitants actually created
their realm. The Creator, The
arch mage Zoso, The Queen of
Light and the Shadow Lord all
hail from there. Even for those
that know of it, Earth is mostly
cut off from Evermore for the
simple fact of a strange aspect
it has called The Veil of Reason.
This “Veil” prevents most magic
from existing in the Earth Realm.
Theory states that at one time
Earth was not unlike Evermore,
having magic. But something
long ago changed and now for
centuries magic for the most
part does not exist.
Elemental Planes
The Building Blocks of the
Physical Realms
The elemental planes, when
combined, make up the Prime
Material Plane. They are also
home to many beings related
to them including elemental
barons and those that use the
hostile environment of the
elemental planes to hide in
exile.
Mirror Realm
The
Reflective Realm Beyond
The Realm of Mirrors is a fast,
but dangerous way of traveling
quickly. But beware. Many a
mage has used the realm as a
prison for their enemies and
coming across one of these
people can mean the end to a
traveler as they will do anything
to get back to Evermore.
Shadow Realm
Where the
Light and Darkness Meets
The Shadows Lands exists
between the Light and the
Dark. Once, eons ago at the
beginning of time, Mages
112
created the Sword of Shadows
and
Way Outs
A Place
out of Time and Space
Many strange and utterly
horrifying things come out from
the Way Outs including Old
Gods whose names are best
forgotten. Travel to the Way
Outs is dangerous at best. Those
few that come back from there
are changed with no hope of
being what they once were.
Wonderland
Realm of Madness
Unlike Evermore which has a
stronger connection to reality,
Wonderland is more dream
than reality and as such is a
much more dangerous place to
be. Here all kinds of strange
animals roam including the
Jabberwock and
Bandersnatch. Here one can
have his head cut off, put on a
pedestal and watch his own
body play crochet. The Queen
of Hearts rules here with an Iron
Fist and she does NOT like
outsiders invading her realm.
Oz
The Realm
Over the Rainbow
Evermore has very little contact
with Oz for various reasons until
recently. The Witch of the North,
Glinda, has sent out a magical
message for help only stating
that the whole realm of Oz was
being threaten by a very
powerful outside force.

“Appendix N”
I have no problem stating that
this book is a blatant grab of
ideas from my decades of TV
watching during the 70’s
I go back and forth on where to
find the media I’ve listed . Many
of the books I read during the
70’s are out of print so for that
reason and ease of finding
things I’ve listed recent
publications. Especially those
that are compilations.
