Warnhinweis

Die Einbeziehung von LRG Publikationen als Quelle ist sicherlich noch kontroverser, als die Einbeziehung von Earthdawn-Quellen überhaupt. Wenn man auch bei nachfolgenden Produkten skeptisch sein sollte, gibt es einige Gründe dieses Buch als semi-canon-Material anzusehen, da es auf der ursprünglich geplanten Earthdawn-Storyline für Barsaive at War basiert und die Absegnung von Lou Prosperi hat.

A young elf stood before me, his pain-wracked face and body covered with thorns. He knelt down and opened his arms as if to embrace me. Dark red blood, rich with life, seeped down each thorn and gathered at the tip. The drops swelled almost to bursting, then fell to the ground.

OF SECRETS AND SILENCE

They work in the shadows, behind the scenes of everyday life. They may be the village blacksmith, the rug merchant down the street, or the simple old woman next door. They are members of Barsaive's secret societies, clandestine groups of every description whose anonymity is their safeguard and their strength. Unseen and unsuspected by most ordinary folk, they pick at the threads that hold the tapestry of Barsaive together. There are the Keys of Death, silent killers who spill their victims' blood on the ground in hopes of freeing Death from imprisonment beneath Death's Sea; cultists of the Horror Verjigorm, who aid their dread master in his quest to destroy all dragons; and many more!

The Secret Societies of Barsaive sourcebook describes fourteen of the most significant secret groups operating in Barsaive, including their goals, plans and potential roles in the coming conflict between the Kingdom of Throal and the Theran Empire. Secret Societies of Barsaive will add intrigue and excitement to any Earthdawn campaign; these cults, spy networks and other secret groups can serve as antagonists, allies, movers behind the scenes and sources of adventure hooks galore.
