Secrets of the Ancients
(von CJ Carella¸ $9) erscheint im Februar 2001¸ als Teil der Eden Studios D20-ODYSSEY-Reihe. Der Quellenband faßt die Gerüchte und Wahrheiten um eine vor Millionen Jahren verschollene Rasse zusammen¸ die für ihre unglaublichen Bauwerke und Kräfte¸ aber auch blutrünstigen Gottheiten bekannt waren. Die Barden erzählen¸ daß dieses Volk ausgestorben sei. Aber nun tauchen überraschend neue Geschichten über Funde von mächtigen Artefakten auf... Der Band ist eine Zusammenstellung von Aufzeichnungen die individuell in jeder D20-Kampagne eingesetzt werden können und die Spieler zu neuen Abenteuern anspornen sollen. [Quelle: Eden Studios]

You have heard the rumors. Untold millennia ago¸ they ruled the land¸ and their power and wisdom were legendary. Now their cities are gone¸ their might buried in forgotten ruins and hidden vaults. The Lagheir built crystal towers that reached towards the skies¸ proclaiming their challenge to the gods themselves. The Tlacamoc served their Blood Gods well¸ feeding them thousands of victims every year. The bards say their ancient kingdoms are no more... but now you wonder. You hear new stories. Long-dead things stir in a half-buried pyramid. A mighty sword is discovered¸ attracting both treasure hunters and undead abominations. A chance encounter on a solitary road leads to the sick and decadent court of the last Lagheir monarch. A friendly Halfling village harbors soul-twisting horrors beneath its pleasant fate. You vow to discover the secrets of the ancients¸ and survive to tell the tale...
