Topic: Unpublished Loremaster Books…

[Nightblade42]

I was reading through The Iron Wind tonight (the 2nd Edition printing from 1984) and noticed in the ICE Catalogue at the back of the book that there are two Loremaster Books listed as "Upcoming": Cynor, The Cursed Oasis & The Gates Of Gehænna.  Was the material from these books used in any other Shadow World material, or are these lost relics we'll never get to see?

Anyone know?  Terry?

I don't think Cynor was ever published.

I am guessing that the Gehaenna module was later published as Gethaena, Underneath Emer (6301).

I actually kind of wonder if Terry thinks of Gethæna as canon. It's referred to in one of the more recent Emer books iirc, but as a completely sealed off place that players should probably never get into.

Thanks for the replies, guys.  I was just curious.  I wonder what Terry's take on this might be…?

Yup. I don't consider it 'canon' exactly, but I planned on mentioning it in Emer IV, which I am working on now.

Gethaena has a bad bit where running through it blows a huge hole in the scenery.

   Thanks for clearing that up Terry!
