Pandora's Book

Pandora's Book is the second book released for the World of Darkness' Promethean: The Created line.

The next chapter of Water of Life is also included.

Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:


 * "At the moment of our birth -- if that's the word -- we make a choice.


 * Life or Death.
 * Division or Unity.
 * Hunger or Reason.
 * Madness or Sanity.
 * Flux or Azoth.


 * Do we really make that choice?
 * Does something in a creator's makeup determine whether we sunder our flesh and slither away, or rise up to begin a new Pilgrimage?


 * I don't know. But I do plan to find out, with your help.
 * Yes, it might hurt a bit."
 * --Doctor Brine, Osiran

Chapter Four: Storytelling
Contains "The Sheltering Storm", the next chapter in the Water of Life, taking place in New Orleans.

Background Information
Unusually for a White Wolf product, the Water of Life is specifically based after a current event, in this case the flooding of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. The book notes, if needed, that a storyteller can replace Katrina with a storm of their own creation.

Most of the fiction in this book is based around Doctor Brine.
