• Prologue to the Core Rule Book

  This page is the prologue to the rule book and I think that it does an excellent job of illustrating the types of soul searching dilemmas that characters in the campaign face. It is written by a young priest named Alustro. Read this page before going on to any other page.

• Uncle Palomon's Reply Letter

  This page is the written response to the above page and is written by Alustro's uncle Palomon who is an Archbishop.

• Setting

  This is the main setting page which allows you to access information regarding the setting, history, groups (nobles, church, merchant league, aliens.) Additionally, all of the prologues to all of the books are available for read under the setting section of the website. Please visit the page at the top of the list before reading this.

• PDF Introductory Booklet.

  HDI has made available a pdf booklet to serve as an introduction to the Fading Suns world that is similar to the setting website above. However, the pdf version does contain many differences. Some of the differences are:

  • The prologues are not contained in the pdf version.
  • The pdf version contains a brief overview of the rules for playing Fading Suns and provides two sample characters for the world.
  • The alien section of the setting contains brief descriptions of the Gannok, Shantor, Etyri, Ascorbites, Oro'ym, and Hironem which are not in the pdf version.
  • A section of a paragraph in the history of the first republic dealing with Sathraism was removed.
  • The pdf version adds a paragraph to the merchant league description which notes that the guilds are second class to the nobles and are only concerned about making profits no matter how cutthroat the members must need to be.
  • The pdf eliminates the "barbarians" as one of the enemies in the Known Worlds.
  • The setting page has a nice large color map of the jumpweb available.
  • The timeline moved ahead three years in the pdf.
  • The setting page has WAV files next to the five royal houses so that you can hear the pronunciation of each house name. These are not in the pdf.

• Lusorum Personae (aka Player Characters or PCs)
  • Alicea Cain
  • Galen
  • Komo Rolas de Vera Cruz
  • Malcom Magnus
• Non Lusorum Personae (aka Non-player Characters or NPCs)
  You have not met anyone yet.
• Expeditio Indicium (aka Campaign Information)
  Nor have you done anything to glean information.

• Fading Suns Latin

  This is a guide to utilizing Latin to enhance gaming in the world of Fading Suns. The guide consists of two main parts. The first part is an improved version of the Latin from the LARP version of Fading Suns. The second part contains a series of Latin phrases and expressions that I've created for use in my Fading Suns campaigns that may easily be transported to other people's campaigns.

• Yahoo Groups Fading Suns Discussion List

  This is a mature discussion group that provides many entertaining debates as well as offers help on clarifying material or providing campaign ideas.
