Safety Information
About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in
video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may
have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive
epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from
falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience
these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther
from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a
well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
doctor before playing.

I, Eldwyn, Master Lore Guardian and leader of the
guild of Lore Guardians, do hereby set stylus to
parchment and begin what will undoubtedly be my
final journal. I am old. I have no illusions that my
remaining days are few. It is my hope that my
successor will read this journal, preserving the odd
bits of wisdom I have accumulated on our world …
and the worlds beyond.
Most entries herein come from my 150 years of
experience as Lore Master of Perathia. Several items,
however, originate from other Lore Masters and
adventurous travelers who have explored more
exotic and perilous realms. I shall note the
appropriate sources where applicable — and
whether any degree of skepticism should be
allocated to them.
One word of caution as you read: Knowledge is a
dangerous instrument. The old ways and the tools of
the Ancients should never be used lightly. There are
perils and delights that we Perathians were never
meant to fathom. And yet, who but the Lore
Guardians are fit to study and protect our people
from these dangers? Our mission is a double-edged
blade: To understand and yet not be seduced by the
old ways.
I have experienced so many wonders in the world ...
waterfalls of lava, floating castles, ethereal creatures.
Whoever reads my words I wish you as long and
fruitful an existence as I have had. I wish you luck.
Eldwyn
Prime Guardian of Knowledge

What has Come Before ...
… my historical account of Perathia collected from the
fragmented historical records discovered and translated over
the last millennia.
Before there was Time, the Ancients set the elements apart
from the void in their own realms. Where there was once
nothing, now were Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. The Ancients then
molded the world from clay, they raised the sky, they drew up
the oceans, they set the sun burning among the stars.
The Ancients then parted the veil of darkness and placed
humans on their world, Perathia. Within the separate Elemental
Realms, the Ancients tasked their servants, the Elemental
Guardians, to watch over the Perathians and allow no harm to
befall them.
But the Ancients began to war among themselves for reasons
we do not understand. In the ensuing chaos, their elemental
servants rose up against their masters. Before the final
cataclysmic battle that destroyed the Ancients, they captured
the souls of the Elemental Guardians and placed each upon a
disc.
The last of the Ancients gave the discs to Selden the Wise for
safekeeping. Selden founded the Lore Guardians a millennium
ago to protect these elemental discs. As long as the Lore
Guardians safeguard the discs, the guardians of the elements
are compelled to fulfill the wishes of the Ancients and protect
Perathia.
Five hundred years ago, however, the disc for the element of
death was lost. Although many strange occurrences have
befallen our people, the full meaning of the loss of the death
disc has yet to be properly interpreted by the Lore Guardians.
Today, we Lore Guardians still watch over the remaining discs
left to us by the Ancients.
Past Lore Guardians have included Life
and Death with the traditional elements.
Prophesy of the Elements
This fragment of text remains one of the few complete
translations we have from ancient times. Some say that Selden
himself wrote it — a warning for all Lore Guardians.
Lamentation and calamity to those who
lose the sacred discs! If gone is Air, then
none shall breathe and noxious vapours
shall foul the land. If gone is Earth, then
fissures shall open and swallow faithful
and heretic alike. If gone is Water, then
the oceans and streams shall turn to
dust. If gone is Fire, then the stars shall
extinguish and all shall grow cold. If
gone is Life, then beast and flower shall
become barren. If gone is Death, then the
shadows shall move of their own accord
and swallow the world.
Although pure conjecture, I believe that
calamity will befall any elemental realm
that has lost a disc. What this means for the
Realm of Death and what eventual effect
this will have on our world, I cannot fathom.
Many Lore Guardians have scoffed at this prophecy because
when the death disc vanished so many years ago ... our world
remained intact. I have my suspicions, however, that we may
yet suffer misfortunes because of the one missing disc. Indeed,
I cannot look too deeply into the shadows without feeling a
chill creep up my spine.
Should any discs ever vanish, I would certainly make every
effort to recover them and replace them in their right place in
the Temple of the Elements!

Translation of Elemental Symbols
In the language of the Ancients, these symbols convey
meaning both literal and abstract. Combinations of these
symbols compose new symbols much the way blue, red, and
yellow can be mixed to produce the secondary colors purple,
orange, and green.
But Be Warned! — The ancient language and its grammar
have never been fully decoded. Haphazard assumptions will
produce translation errors.
EARTHEARTH
EARTH
— Literally, represents stone and metal. A
EARTHEARTH
more subtle translation means “strength and
defense.” The most benign aspect of this symbol
means stability, and at its lowest incarnation it
translates as “crushing doom.” Typical coloration of
this symbol is brown, red, or dull green.
WAWA
TERTER
WA
WAWA
A more abstract translation is “change.” This
symbol’s noblest meaning is purification,
while its lowest aspect represents stagnation.
It is rarely associated with the death symbol in the form of a
whirlpool. Colors associated with this symbol are blue, green,
and gray.
FIREFIRE
FIRE — In the ancient language,
FIREFIRE
represented motion and energy.
In its highest form it represents
the stars, while its lowest aspect
translates as “chaos.” Colors
associated with this symbol are red, orange,
yellow, and black.
TER
— Rivers, lakes, streams, and ocean.
TERTER
AIRAIR
AIR — Represents the sky, and more
AIRAIR
abstractly translates as “that which cannot be
seen.” The highest form of the symbol
means clarity, while its lowest aspect
means violence. Colors associated with
this symbol are blue, yellow, and white.
LIFELIFE
LIFE — Represents light and living plants and
LIFELIFE
animals. Contrary to the beliefs of the
uneducated it does not mean “good.” In its
highest aspect this symbol translates as
“perfection,” and in its lowest form it means
unchecked growth. Colors associated with this
symbol are white and silver.
DEADEA
THTH
DEA
TH — Represents the end of life,
DEADEA
THTH
destruction, and decay. It does not mean
“evil.” In its most benevolent aspect, it means
reclamation. In its most dreaded aspect, it
represents the void. Colors associated with
this symbol are purple, gray, and black.
Combine Water and Earth
to make the acid glyph.
Fire and Water are
steam.
The symbols of Fire and
Air combined

Characters
Here, I attempt to sketch and capture the personalities of my
junior Lore Guardians.
AZURIK
Azurik’s mother, the Lore Guardian Nayfa, undertook a
pilgrimage to the Periphery to learn more of the Elemental
Realms and perished there. Azurik came to the Order following
her death and petitioned to join us. I refused him, fearing that
his recent loss would cloud his ability to focus on scholarly
matters.
Undaunted, Azurik set off for the Periphery, retraced his
mother’s footsteps, and found her body. Using her Lore
Guardian staff, Azurik cremated her worldly shell, releasing her
spirit. He returned to the colony, staff in hand, and I was so
impressed with Azurik’s courage that I made him my
apprentice.
In the last five years, Azurik has learned much. He is a bright
pupil and a quick learner. Although he is primarily a scholar,
Azurik is capable of running long distances, swimming, and
jumping far and high. His fighting prowess with the staff is
formidable and not to be underestimated.
BALTHAZAR
Balthazar’s parents were Lore Guardians and
they taught him well. He is an adequate scholar,
but his true passion is his martial abilities, which
he has honed to a razor’s edge. I find his
fascination with power and combat distressing,
and I can only ponder the origins of his inner
rage. We would all be better suited if he would
divert his physical energies toward more
scholarly pursuits.
I also question if his professed wish to become
Lore Master is not for noble purposes but
rather to satisfy his thirst for power. When I
stare into Balthazar’s eyes I feel a certain
apprehension … the same uneasiness I feel,
in fact, when I stare into the shadows.
I believe the proportion of the nose
in this sketch is incorrect
ELDWYN
I add myself here as an exercise in selfportrait. I am Master Lore Guardian and
have led the guild of Lore Guardians for
the last twenty-five years. I try never to
answer my student’s questions directly
— rather I give them cryptic replies.
The answers that one discovers for
oneself are understood far better
than those that are merely told.
... and unflattering.

Axion: the Staff of the Elements
Although we still cannot comprehend many of the tools of the
Ancients, there is one notable exception: Axion, the Staff of the
Elements. This weapon draws upon the power of the Elemental
Realms for a variety of offensive and defensive capabilities.
To defend themselves while exploring the periphery realms, all
Lore Guardians have received combat training from an early
age so they may wield this impressive weapon.
The staff is composed of a solid metal shaft with retractable
recurved axe blades affixed at either end. The metal may be
cold or warm contrary to the ambient temperature. Do these
curious mutable properties originate from the weapon’s direct
link to the elements?
To use this staff’s legendary elemental powers, each power
must first be activated. Scattered throughout the periphery
realms are blazing sigils (images with magical powers) that
trigger this staff’s elemental powers. Apprentice Lore
Guardians, however, may test all the Axion’s capabilities within
the confines of the training room.
Along the weapon’s shaft are several button-like cabochon
jewels. Inside each jewel are the runes for Fire, Water, Air, and
Earth. When a staff’s elemental powers have been activated,
pressing these buttons in any order gives the fighting staff
dazzling elemental properties.

Activating an offensive power does not require any
expenditure of energy. Only when the attack is used on an
enemy is energy consumed. Armor and shields, however, drain
energy when they are activated.
And a final note … Some elements are more effective against
certain opponents. For example, use a lava blade on a creature
of water to inflict more damage. Conversely, some elemental
attacks and defenses are weak against certain creatures. Indeed
— using fire on a fire elemental may heal it!

HEALTH PACKS
Health packs are fairly common. When picked up,
they automatically replenish your health.
They come in large and small sizes.
ELEMENTAL FUEL CELLS
Fuel cells replenish the powers of the Axion. There are
different fuel cells for each element. A chromatic fuel cell
restores power to all four elements simultaneously. Fuel
cells have been found in small and large sizes.
ELEMENTAL REALM GEMS
Rumors exist of gems found in the Elemental Realms:
fire rubies, water sapphires, earth emeralds, and air
diamonds. When you have collected several of a
particular gem, it is said that the fuel capacity of the
Axion increases.
OBSIDIAN GEMS
Obsidian gems are rare artifacts left by the Ancients
throughout the realms. When enough of these gems have
been accumu-lated, legends say they imbue the collector
with special powers or reveal hidden locations.

elemental discs reside, each
in its own protective holder within
the central chamber.
THE ELEMENTAL REALMS
Half myth and half rumor, the Elemental Realms are nearly
impossible for mortals to reach because of the barriers erected
by their guardians. These reports have been accumulated from
far-ranging travelers and the ancient records. They must be
treated with skepticism.
The Realm of Water
This realm has been described
as tropical lagoons, sandy
beaches, fields of ice, and a
vast churning ocean. It is
said that there is a great
whirlpool in its center.
The Realm of Earth
This realm has regions aboveground
and underground. Above, it is lush
and full of life that thrives in the
rich soil. The underground
region is filled with enormous
machines with scoops, gears,
crushers, and drills.

The Realm of Fire
This place has been
described as caverns
with fire and lava, an
atmosphere of smoke,
and huge craters with
magma pulsing within. I
cannot fathom how any
living thing could
survive there.
The Realm of Life
According to the ancient texts, this
realm is suffused with a presence
of pure light—little else is known.
The Realm of Death
No one has ever returned from this
mysterious, perilous place. BEWARE!
The Realm of Air
This realm is composed of
enormous floating cloud
stations. Travel between clouds
is accomplished primarily via a
floating airship.
Creatures
For the Lore Guardians that dare to explore the Elemental
Realms, I have documented the creatures they may encounter.
Most of these accounts come from the ancient texts. They are
certainly incomplete. Some creatures encountered in the
distant realms may appear harmless, but all should be
considered hostile and approached, if at all, with great care.
CREATURES COMMON TO ALL
ELEMENTAL REALMS
Bots
Bots are the minions of the Elemental
Guardians. We believe they perform
mechanical maintenance on the ancient
machines, but they have also been known to
attack intruders.
Elementals
These creatures can be found wherever raw elements are
abundant. Elementals have been reported to have a nearly
invisible female form—all elementals move very fast. When
attacking, they close, strike, and then quickly retreat — only to
repeat this tactic from a different angle.
CREATURES OF THE REALM OF WATER
Barnacle
The barnacle has a conical base and
a retracting tentacle, like a frog
tongue, to suck in nutrient waste. A
barnacle will attack whatever strays
too close to it.

The sleeth is a sleek lizard with powerful legs.
Some accounts say these creatures breathe an
acid spittle.

Rock Shard Monsters
The rock shard monster is a large
humanoid creature composed of rock
boulders. They can lay in wait for prey,
then stand up, unfolding into their
natural giant humanoid form. They
usually appear in groups and attack
collectively.

Shards have conical bodies and central
fanged mouths. They fly in great numbers
and, although individually weak, they can collectively swarm
over and kill more powerful enemies.
I do not believe these can
be effectively hit with the
staff. Think defense!
CREATURES OF THE REALM OF FIRE
Blaze Sentinel
The sentinel has the upper body of a mechanical man,
while the lower half is aflame. It will attack and pursue
its prey a great distance.
24
Tacula
The tacula has a buoyant gasfilled center, a large fanged
mouth, and tentacles with
hooks for snagging prey. It floats
through the atmosphere searching
for food, rising on thermals. It
possesses a special attack/defense
mechanism — an ink jet.

CREATURES OF THE REALM OF DEATH
Overlord
The overlord is a little goblin creature. It is quick
and nimble. It has long arms and claws. The
overlord will focus on escape rather than battle,
but if provoked or cornered it will fight by
running in quickly and scratching wildly at an
enemy.
Catilisk
The catilisk is a large,
reptilian cat with six legs and four
eyes. It will attempt to camouflage
itself and then attack its prey from
behind. The only warning you may have
is a telltale growl before its strike.
Harvester
The harvester is an insect-like creature
with two large scooping fore-claws and a
pouch on its back. Harvesters will not attack
until several are present.
If you see a harvester,
kill it before
more appear!
Deluvian Stalker
The Deluvian Stalker is a semi-transparent
shadow with glowing red eyes. It tends to
haunt dark areas and is virtually invisible.
Legends tell of these shadow demons firing
“bolts of death.” It may also fade away and
reappear in a random location.
ELEMENTAL GUARDIANS
I include in this section a mere mention of these beings for the
sake of completeness. Certainly, no Lore Guardian has ever had
contact with these wondrous and dangerous entities. And if
they did, they none have survived the encounter!
