FOREWORD

Welcome to the Kingdom of Zarias Compendium. This book contains more information about Zarias, as well as the rest of the world, including previously unmentioned information about the world that our heroes haven't discovered yet. Some of the information you'll know, like the list of the 7 Levels of Undead Beings, but some information you won't know, like the 5 Levels of Incorporeal Apparitions.

Included within this book is the list of the 13 Known Planes of Existence, as seen in Stalago Glimer's seminal book The Planes of Reality. A picture showing the Clock of Reality, as Stalago put it, is also included.

Information about some of the rarest monsters in the world, taken from the Star Crusaders' own library, is also inside. This includes monsters that none of our heroes have encountered yet.

Data on the original 10 races of the world lies within these pages, including the Woldfer, who were wiped out during the Battle of Urobi during the Second Era.

The updated Timeline is also included. Note- The timeline contains spoilers for both Undeath and the Dewester Set as well as The Steep Price of Revenge.

The 8 Schools of Magic with examples of what spells are in what school also lie within these pages.

This book also contains dozens of portraits painted by the famed artist W. Faora Ilt (credit to Artflow.ai for the incredible pictures). Nearly everyone is pictured here- Serena, Dustin, Daniel, Zach, Wagner, Kana, Tiana, and many more.

Most exciting of all is that the very talented artist John Allen has nearly 50 pictures and sketches within these pages. He's spent years traveling the world and has brought back some incredible pieces showcasing familiar faces as well as those who haven't introduced themselves to the Kingdom of Zarias yet.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I've enjoyed putting it together.

Thank you,

Frank Hyden
