From the Introduction The characters in this PDF are being provided as a reward to everyone who backed the Kickstarter for The Book Of The Empress. Thank you all so much for your support! These characters were created by Steven S. Long, the author of BotE, but the ideas for them were provided by Kickstarter backers who pledged $150 or more. Each of them is identified with the character he inspired, and we’d particularly like to thank these backers for their generous contributions to the BotE cause. The following characters appear in this title... The Battalioneers: Astra, Bo’am Yaar, Falkenrath, Magenta Shadow, Mind Phantom, Prism Guardian, Solomon, Sunburn, The Traveler, & Turanda. Bonus Crusaders of the Infinite Realities: Crystal Warrior Mirai, Gargun the Seeker, Lord Fracta, & Karama Talis. Also included are full character sheets for the members of the Crusaders of the Infinite Realities as described on pages 192-93 of The Book of the Empress.
