Lost for ages, deep in a misty green jungle lie an ancient decrepit, crumbling, edifice… Stumbled upon only recently, its rediscovery swept through academia only to be shortly forgotten. Its purpose and people unknown and its remoteness in the inhospitable jungle discouraged further investigation. What few archaeologists managed their way there claim it to be either a temple or some type of religious site dedicated to a long-forgotten god from the Thurian Age, tens of thousands of years before our time. Ignored and left to the jungle, the complex was thought to be only visited by occasional hunters, loggers, or even looters. Now, dreadful rumors are swirling, fearful stories being told, and spine-tingling tales whispered along the byways of that jungle. An interested party needs someone to investigate and discover the truth behind the stories of great evils, deities from the dawn of time, cults, sacrifices, murder, kidnappings, and of that phrase whispered only in the ear, Blood Imperator. Only the bravest, strongest, and those with staggering willpower can manage the ravenous appetite of primordial hatreds and chthonian gluttony. And this is what it will take as someone must stand between the world as we know it and a crimson tide of bloodshed, chaos, and destruction that will be unleashed by the Rise of the Red God. This product is suitable for characters from levels four to sixth.

Creatures of the infernal planes are unadulterated evil. Evil defines them. They are not capable of good or acts of kindness or mercy. They have no conception of sacrifice, courage, joy or any emotion. They do not feel humiliation or understand it. If made to crawl in the mud and play the part of a cowed beast, they do so. They have no ability to feel for others, no empathy for the plight of sorrow. They are wretched creatures, pathetic in their self-absorbing madness of being. They are evil, pure and simple. But evil carries many faces, and demons and devils are as different as night and day. Evil defines them all, but the nature of that evil sets them apart. This is the Codex Infernum, a catalog of hundreds of demons and devils. Within these pages you’ll find everything you need to know about arch, greater, lesser and minor devils. With that comes all you’ll need to know about the demon lords, and the major, lesser and minor demons. Hundreds of entries, each depicted in glorious color. The Infernal Planes await the chorus of evil. It has arrived.

Upon wind-swept battlefields they seek the glory of the gods. With weapons of steel, fire, and ice, stout shields, and sorcery, they drive ever onward, seeking the grandeur of conflict with creatures of terrible wrath or beasts of legend. In all hours of every day, they gird themselves for war and struggle, to drive those evil beings of foul intent to doom and oblivion. But before glory can be obtained, before the gods can be exalted, they must face and overcome those that would oppose them: demons, devils, and all the forces of darkness. The great hosts of the celestials are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Some are violent warriors, while others are wondrous and wise, some are helpful but many are horrific and baleful to the unwary or undeserving. But they are all creatures defined by their servitude and their dedication to being agents of cosmic balance, far beyond the ken of the noble adventurer. This is the Codex Exaltum, a catalog of scores of celestial creatures. Within these pages you’ll find everything you need to know about angels, divine mounts, the Knight’s Stag, River Boon and so much more. Scores of entries, each depicted in glorious color. Further, Codex Exaltum touches on true names, exorcism, possession and more. The Choirs of good have arrived.
