Convention Cyclo 1, 2, 3 Bundle

Welcome to the marvelous lands of East Verdestia! This third volume of the Cyclopaedia Zyathica covers the eastern half of the sundered continent, giving a deep look into a harsh yet breathtaking region of the world. An ancient landscape, East Verdestia houses the ruins of fallen empires, while the exploits of long-gone heroes and villains may still be heard on the streets of its modern nations. From the ever-feuding realms of Dawnven and Vanzentea, to the dark, insatiable hunger for expansion at the heart of the burgeoning Vilandean Empire, the Esenverd is rife with hidden machinations and shadowy conflicts. Far beyond the last outposts of civilized lands, towering mountains reach for the heavens, and the trackless tundra stretches to the horizon. Deadly monsters and forgotten evils lurk in this wilderness, but the stark beauty of the land is far from the only treasure to be found.

Whether you’re looking to expand your campaigns in the Wy’rded World to exciting new places, or simply want to immerse yourself in the fascinating cultures and environments of Zyathé, this prodigious volume has everything you could want to know about East Verdestia, and more. The Esenverd is a natural next step for adventures begun in West Verdestia, but there is more than enough lore within this tome to inspire countless standalone campaigns.

Welcome to the wondrous lands of Verdestia! This second volume of the Cyclopaedia Zyathica explores the western half of the sundered northern continent, granting a vivid glimpse of life in this fascinating, and often dangerous, corner of the Wy'rded World. From the decadent palaces of Andvalla to the tense streets of divided Trestoln, you will learn of the many nations, peoples, and landmarks of the realm known as the Wesverd. Trace the ancient history of this land through countless years of both brutal conquests and heroic restorations, all leading to the current state of affairs, where shadowy politics and ancient rivalries are a given and the next conflict is just one wrong step away. Yet things are no less exciting outside the civilized lands; all you could want to know and more of forgotten ruins, blasted wastelands, and hidden sanctuaries across West Verdestia may be found within these pages.
