100 Books to Find on a Crescent Empire Bookshelf
 |
ooks can be a source of useful and important knowledge¸ but libraries are not filled with books that can be described as such. Shelves will also hold books that are less useful; religious tracts¸ legends¸ histories¸ biographies¸ memoirs¸ scientific works and fiction. This supplement adds 100 different books that a GameMaster can use to flesh out a bookshelf. All the titles apart from proper names¸ are given in English¸ even though the authors hail from the different countries of the Crescent Empire¸ for ease of use. Whether or not an individual book has anything useful in-game is up to the GM; books can be founts of misinformation as well as knowledge.
