From publisher blurb: “Legend has it the gods used the world as a battlefield. In this war, they recruited all manner of beasts and creatures from across the multiverse. When the gods abandoned this world, their soldiers were left behind to fend for themselves. The world was built on conflict, and that conflict continues to this day. During the Disappearance, while most of the monstrous races and magical creatures were absent from Atheles, humans and dwarves still found themselves at war. Now, the others have returned, and our world is consumed by chaos once more. My life was turned upside down by them, and I have dedicated my life to hunting and removing the violent beings who find themselves back in our world.” — Excerpt from the Creature Compendium, A Guide to Hunting the Monsters and Creatures of Atheles by Etahn Belbane, monster hunter, and Delgon the Librarian. The Creature Compendium, A Guide to Hunting the Monsters and Creatures of Atheles will be a 100+ page book filled with over 90 creatures for the gloomy lands of Atheles. The book will be hardbound, designed to look as if it is the leather journal of a monster hunter*. Inside each creature has descriptive text, stats for the SagaBorn RPG, and an illustration or two. This will provide GMs all the information they need to start building adventures in the Dark Return setting, give adventurers a leg up on the monsters they may face, or give a collector a book filled with wonderful artwork. The book is told through the eyes of two well known monster hunters from Atheles, Etahn and Delgon. This gives the descriptions a personal touch, and a view into the larger world of the Dark Return.
