The Lunar Empire

The Imperial Lunar Handbook is the essential guide to the vast Lunar Empire. Mighty and magical, decadent and dynamic, conquering and liberating, the Empire is rich and complex, a land of heroes, soldiers, and missionaries. It is a fusion of many disparate regions, each with its own beliefs, customs, and magic. Over all, the Red Moon guides, and the Son of the Goddess rules.

Selected Contents

• Children of the Goddess - An introduction to the mighty Lunar Empire, including information on What Everyone Knows, All Her Children, A Timeline of the Lunar Empire, Heroes and Other Exceptions, Governing the Empire, Travel in the Empire, The Imperial Army, and Homelands (including Dara Happa).
