Notes:
The Statistics for the Characters in Powers of Light & Darkness are
all for Rolemaster Second Edition. I was asked to do the official RMFRP
writeups, and these can be found on the ICE website at: http://www.ironcrown.com/free_downloads/ICE6402Pwrs_RMFRPstats.pdf
There are also additional Spell Lists for the Characters available at the
author's (Terry Amthor) website:

Cover/Jacket Text:
The Raven Queen didn't even bother to rise from her throne
as she cast her spell. Red forks of light lashed out from her long black fingernails
and stabbed at
the second Clycallah spy. He screamed and crumpled at her feet next to his cohort.
She hadn't gotten anything useful from the first prisoner, but mabe this one
will last a bit longer...
The Queen's lips curled into a cruel smile...
Ever wonder about those other secret orders who worship the Unlife? What the Lords of Orhan and the Dark Gods are really up to? Just who that mysterious Alliance is? The answers to these and other questions can be found within!
