Summary[]

From the White Wolf catalog:

Darkness Lives in Lands Beyond
Beneath the Seas of Ash, through the Lost City X, in the twisting corridors of Doissetep or the steaming jungles of Moreauvia, mages ply their trade. In custom-built Horizon Realms, these wizards build Chantries, strongholds of their might and monuments to their vanity.
Bearers of the Light Beware!
Intrigue and betrayal, madness and hubris, greet visitors to these hidden lands. The Path to Ascension takes many forms, and the temptation to stray from one's chosen Path is strong. A mage is never truly safe, even within the walls of her own Chantry.
The Book of Chantries is a sourcebook for Mage: The Ascension, detailing the mages' places of power.
  • Ten complete strongholds; Tradition Chantries, Technocracy Constructs and Nephandi
  • A ready-to-run scenario starring Samuel Haight, the werewolf skinner.
  • Complete rules for creating your own Chantry.

  • Ads at the back of the book include: Wraith (Summer 1994) and White Wolf Magazine (Join the Pack!).
