Corrections
- Page 1 Change the “Commentary, concepts, and additional material” paragraph to read as follows: “Commentary, concepts, and additional material by Nick Brooke, Dave Camoirano, Chris Gidlow, David Hall, Kevin Jacklin, Stephen Martin, Peter Metcalfe, Michael O’Brien, Jonas Schiott, and Greg Stafford.
- Page 1 Nick Brooke should be credited for the the foundational material on Carmania, on which the relevant sections of this book drew. Issaries apologizes for the oversight.
- Page 25 Shargash Keyword — Soul Sight should be Soul Vision.
- Page 43 Aronius Jaranthir — Aronius delivered the secret weapon against Sheng Seleris to the Emperor in 4/51 (1460 S.T.).
- Issaries Inc. regrets the oversight that meant that Nick Brooke – who created much of the foundational material on Carmania, on which the relevant sections of this book drew – has not received appropriate credit. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for his valuable contribution to helping shape the Lunar Empire.
