Cover/Jacket Text:
…A planet hangs in the gateway between two worlds,
a focus of strange powers and portals to alien places. Ancient technology clashes
with sorcerers
of the present while the Dragonlords walk as men. Against them rises the Unlife,
a force whose dark servants desire the destruction of all that lives…
The Shadow World Master Atlas is your guide to a unique
and exciting fantasy world. This is Kulthea, a planet tortured by forces
natural and unnatural.
Loremasters tell of ancient, mighty empires, but the only remnants of their
dominion are the tumbled ruins that dot the landscape—and rare magical
artifacts from the past.
Kulthea is so plagued by powerful Flows of Essence: unseen auras that play
havoc with the very fabric of space and time. The Flows can open enchanted
Portals, sweeping the unwary to other places—to even the terrifying
Void. The Navigators ply these magical gales, maintaining fragile links between
civilizations. But between these islands lie vast lands filled with unknown
dangers. And even the Navigators cannot master the Flows.
The Shadow World is further detailed in many sourcebooks and adventures. While
created for Rolemaster, Shadow World books are easily adapted to other major
systems.
