Background

  • Background for the 2015 Compendium

Far from the bastions of civilisation, the world-that-was was the domain of monsters and strange creatures of nearly limitless forms and macabre power. From the broken wastes to the deep and fetid swamps, and from the perilous depths to the chill mountains, it was these great beasts that ruled in elder days, and the best that the feeble arts of mankind could do was record their legends in works known as the great Monstrous Arcana.
