Tales of Pannithor: Edge of the Abyss

Edited by Brandon Rospond.

An anthology of ten stories set in the world of Pannithor, a world of epic fantasy; it serves as an introduction to the world and sets up the various factions at war with one another during the peak of the “Edge of the Abyss” campaign. Each story is told by a different author to give the readers different views and takes on the different armies that exist on the continent of Mantica.

This anthology contains:

“Unfamiliar Territory,” by Duncan Waugh
”The Sea Does Not Give Up Her Dead,” by C.L. Werner
”Kinship,” by C.W. Conduff
“The Beast Within,” by Andrew McKinney
”Into the Straits of Madness,” by Robert E. Waters
”Emerald Eyes,” by Michael McCann
”Ratcatcher,” by Scott Washburn
”The Last Stand,” by Bill Donohue
”Eyes Unblinking,” by Marc DeSantis
”Crimson Winter,” by Brandon Rospond

Despite the fact that this was the first collaboration between Mantic Games and Winged Hussar Publishing, some of these stories opened the door for the authors and novels that came after. C.L. Werner went on to write Rise of the Celestians and has worked very closely with Mantic Games on developing the lore of the game. Robert E. Waters wrote a DreadBall series of novels - The Last Hurrah and The Final Rush! Scott Washburn continued his foray into halflings and wrote Broken Alliance. Marc DeSantis laid the groundwork for the premise of Nature’s Knight. Brandon Rospond’s story was the first “lore teaser,” foreshadowing there was more going on in Chill than the players knew about.
