Summary
Edit
- From the White Wolf Catalog:
- A Guide to the Land of the Dead
- The fourth of five books dedicated to the supernatural locales of the Exalted setting, this supplement focuses on the Underworld, land of the dead. Created by the death of Primordials in their war with the Exalted, the Underworld is now home to billions of ghosts who have escaped the Cycle of Reincarnation.
- Will the returned Solars unite to destroy it as an affront to the proper function of Creation, or will they be seduced by its dark beauty and the power its dark art of necromancy offers, becoming like the corrupt Abyssal Exalted who call the place home?
- A setting sourcebook for Exalted, Second Edition, featuring:
- Details the many nations and necropolis of the Underworld, as well as the spectral amphiskopoli of the Labyrinth.
- Presents a myriad of Underworld luminaries and plasmic creatures for use in any Exalted series
- Features everything players and Storytellers need to play series based in the land of the dead
