Product Description

The definitive guide to the fantastic world of Talislanta, Hotan's History of the World is the world guide and atlas that Talislanta fans have been requesting for twenty years. Hotan's History brings together all of the existing data on Talislanta from several sources including the long out-of-print Chronicles of Talislanta, The Talislanta World Book and Cyclopedia Talislanta along with more recent sources such as Midnight Realm and Codex Magicus. Hotan's History of the World contains a detailed examination of the continent of Talislanta, details on the people and cultures found on Talislanta, encyclopedic entries on every major ruin, city, river and physical feature, as well as an extensive history of the Talislanta's past from the Time Before Time through the Archaen Age and Great Disaster up to the current year of 603 N.A. Complete with a stunning new map of Talislanta, Hotan's History contains and exhaustive listing of Talislantan locales including complete guides to many of Talislanta's most vibrant and important cities and towns. Hotan's History of the World is the first of 4 core books* in the newest edition of Talislanta (5th edition) but it contains no game mechanics or stats and is therefore compatible with all Talislanta editions and, in fact, any roleplaying game system. Hotan's History of the World is a must have for all fans of Talislanta.

The role-playing game that won't die returns in another edition. While not as artfully presented as the original Bard Games guide, nor as weighty as Shooting Irons' big blue hardback, this current worldbook culls information from all the previous editions (resolving some discrepancies) and presents it in a readable volume that feels comphrehensive.
