Heretic Ii Man

JOURNAL OF SIERNAN Darkness has descended upon Parthoris again. I fear that this time there shall be no one to lift the damp veil that has blanketed my beautiful homeland. The plague struck quickly, and it was not until too many were infected that anyone took notice of the creeping death. Now, city streets are filled with the noxious green plague vapors that cause insanity and then death to any that are unfortunate enough to inhale it. Most are warped and twisted into a blood-crazed rage that drives them to assault nearly any that they encounter. My people have fared better than the Sidhe, but even those noble beings have regressed into mindless barbarism. Perhaps I will be able to find some means to cure this terrible nemesis that has befallen my homeland. If not, I fear all will be lost. 2 CONTENTS Excerpts from the Chronicles of Parthoris . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5 The Heretic . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7 The Outer Worlds . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8 A Way Home . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9 The Atlas of Parthoris . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10 The Sidhe People . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10 The Ssithra People . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .11 The T’Chekrik People . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .12 The Ogles . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .13 The Caurthorians . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14 Of Legend and Seraph . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .15 Natural Inhabitants . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .16 Addendum by Siernan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17 Book of Spells . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .18 Offensive Magic . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .18 Defensive Magic . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20 Weapons of War . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .21 The Sidhe Shrines to the Seraphs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .22 Minimum System Requirements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .24 Install Directions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .24 Quick Start Game Play . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .…
