Orbis Terrarum

About a month ago, at this year's Gen Con Indy, the announcement was made that the 4th Edition of the Dungeons & Dragons game will be released in May 2008. This exciting news has caused me to decide to put the Orbis Terrarum project on hold until the new edition is released, and to examine and reconsider some of directions I have taken with the project.

In the meantime, I have included a new map of the known world of Terra. The map was drawn by a scholar from the continent of Europa, who has marked the main regions of the world and primary bodies of water in the common tongue of the West.

In this entry, I present an update of the light, a type of angel that first appeared in the 2nd Edition product MC8 Planescape Appendix.
