This review is from: *OP Traditions Gathered 3 (Paperback)
This installment of the Traditions Gathered series bundles the Akashic Brotherhood, the Celestial Chorus and the Euthantos into one complete package. The material included in this volume is a must have for any chronicle, especially in regarded to the section detailing the Celestial Chorus. The reliocentric mages of the Chorus are given a new life and stereotypes are broken down and destroyed.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Increasing quality, March 12, 2001
This review is from: *OP Traditions Gathered 3 (Paperback)
As with the other 2 Traditions Gathered books, this one covers 3 different Tradition books. In this ocasion, White Wolf delivers Akashic Brotherhood, Celestial Chorus and Euthanatos in one single book. As a whole, the book increases it's quality.
AK Brotherhood is the worst Tradition book you can imagine. They are depicted as shaolin temple dwellers, who know nothing about outside world. They're much better developed in the 2-page description in Mage 2nd Edition than in the Tradition Book.
Celestial Chorus is a mixed bag. Some good info and some info which could be better developed. The style is fine, though.
Euthanatos is the best Tradition book ever published (maybe along with Order of Hermes), with great information about the death mages, and presented in a very enjoyable form (the story of a trial).
Overall, 1 bad one, 1 enjoyable (but nothing more) and 1 excellent one.

A must-have for Mage fans, October 16, 1999

Swords of Faith (The Traditions Gathered, Vol. 3) completes the reprinting of the Tradbooks with the Akashic Brotherhood, Celestial Chorus, and Euthanatos. Tradbook: Euthanatos is generally considered the best read of the Tradbook series and my personal favorite. It continues the House of Helekar storyline mentioned in the Preludes to the other Mage supplements and Horizon: The Stronghold of Hope.
