Player's Guide to Arcanis (1st Edition)

Arcanis is a world of high fantasy, intrigue and suspense. Diplomacy, skill and discretion will carry you as far or farther than skill at arms or in the arts of magic. Heroes come in a myriad of forms. Some are fantastic beings born with the blood of Valinor or the souls of elementals. Others are the descendents of Celestial Giants who once roamed the stars as freely as a fish swims the sea. Many of its greatest heroes are simple mortals of mundane blood but lofty ideals. It is a world of heroes who stand between the common folk and destruction, you can be that hero. The power is in your hands; leave your mark upon the Shattered Empires!
