Download or read book The Chronicles of Aeres written by Greg Lambert and published by . This book was released on 2021-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aeres is a new setting for your adventurous 5th Edition campaign. The Chronicles of Aeres, the title of this guide, represents the histories, mythologies, heroes, villains, and struggles of this mystical realm. Aeres is filled to the brim with nostalgia, and its sensibilities are decidedly old school. It's a land that hearkens back to a classical age of fantasy-an age of larger-than-life heroes, true, but also a time when hapless farmhands and folksy Hobbits were coaxed into adventure by wizards, prophecies, and promises of magical treasure. For those who seek their fortune in this realm, the result is often peril and adventure-but just as often magic and charm. The Chronicles of Aeres World Guide will contain everything necessary for a Dungeon Master to create a fleshed out, action-packed adventure within the setting; in addition to dozens of new fantastical destinations to explore and colorful characters to meet, this guide offers both new and experienced players a full kit of tools to create a folkloric adventurer fully immersed in the storybook atmosphere of the realm.

Download or read book Mana A History of a Western Category written by Nicolas Meylan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mana: A History of a Western Category Nicolas Meylan proposes a critical account of Western imaginations of mana, a word belonging originally to Oceanic languages but borrowed by European languages in which it acquired the meaning ‘supernatural power.’ While mana is best known for its tenure in the disciplines studying religion, Nicolas Meylan situates such academic uses in a wider context, analyzing the ways Westerners conceptualized mana in the earlier colonial context as well as its mobilizations in the late 20th and early 21st centuries by (video)game designers and Neo-Pagan witches. This focus on various Western uses of mana allows for the critical investigation of the ways power has been mystified in conjunction with religion.

Download or read book Dreamtime written by Nigel Clayton and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a man on walkabout, trekking the centre of Australia some 60,000 years ago. His adventures open the door to myths and legends of Aboriginal society as never read before. This story is a true eye-opener, an odyssey which, as per Dreamtime, will exist for eternity. The myths, legends and wonders of Aboriginal society are many and vast, passed on by word of mouth for tens of thousands of years. If we assume that the 'religion' of these people dates back so far then we have to assume that creatures such as the diprotodon, megalania, and thylacoleo, just to name a few, are forever present in their myths and legend. But there are indicators to show that the religion does not date back so far, or in the least, that religion was an on-going form of practice, for the dingo [which only dates back some 5,000 years] seems to be rather active in ritual and common place amongst some myths and legends. Whether these stories have changed over the years [as word mouth is hard to secure as a source of historical worth] or not, I have taken the liberty, whether justly or otherwise, to put it into story form, so that there appears to be a more rudiment meaning to the entire development of Aboriginal Dreamtime, which is an eternal way of life and carries with it some sacred meanings. I can only hope that I have created no ill-will, for my intensions are to provide others with the joy of understanding in a way which is more effortless then simply passing over one myth after another in a big thick book. The main character in the book, Nalon, is a fabrication; a fabrication created in order to achieve my goal. I hope this is clearly understood. WARNING! Kulinma! Ngulakujaku-kula! This book might contain names of people who have since departed this world.

Book excerpt: Asher is a Lifer, a slave aboard the spaceship Pelican. A member of the lowest rung of society, she must serve the ship's Officials and Astronauts as punishment for her grandparents' crimes back on Earth. The one thing that made life bearable was her illicit relationship with Samuai, a Fishie boy, but he died alongside her brother in a freak training accident. Still grieving for the loss of her loved ones, Asher is summoned to the upper levels to wait on Lady, the head Official's wife and Samuai's mother. It is the perfect opportunity to gather intel for the Lifers' brewing rebellion. There's just one problem--the last girl who went to the upper levels never came back. On the other side of the universe, an alien attack has left Earth in shambles and a group called The Company has taken control. Blank wakes up in a pond completely naked and with no memory, not even his real name. So when a hot girl named Megs invites him to a black-market gaming warehouse where winning means information, he doesn't think twice about playing. But sometimes the past is better left buried. As Asher's and Blank's worlds collide, the truth comes out--everyone has been lied to.

Download or read book Eternity written by Michael Hanlon and published by Palgrave MacMillan. This book was released on 2009 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become received wisdom that our world is doomed, that we live in the End of Days. Bleak predictions by psychics and scientists alike portend extreme weather, droughts, famines and floods that will overtake humanity within the century, or sooner. If not global warming, then supervolcanoes, meteoric impacts, nuclear war, bioterrorism, or natural plagues will get us. But whatever happens, Michael Hanlon believes that humankind will go on...and on. The shape of things to come will be strange, and somewhat terrifying, but will very likely seem banal to the people who inhabit it in the future. Humankind may be thrown back to the Stone Age on hundreds of occasions and may come close to extinction. But recovery will follow--each time more rapidly than the last. The world of 10,000 years hence, let alone 100,000,000 years hence, will be strange and almost unrecognizable. But no matter how battered and re-born, it will still be our world, populated by us through eternity.
