Editorial notes

  • Éterlumin is spelled with an accented É. Rupturum is spelled exactly as shown.
  • Heller is an autonomous duchy within Valdegracia, not an independent country.
  • Fortera is a physical field in the setting, not magic from another plane.
  • The Session Wizard and Conversion Companion are experimental tools. Their output is table material, not canon.
  • We do not claim awards, review scores, or player counts. Please do not attribute any to Mar de Oro without direct evidence.
