Welcome to the Guild of Dragonwatch! Many adventurers risked their lives gathering the information found within this one-of-a-kind book—a compendium of the most dangerous mythical and magical creatures around the world, including illustrations that reveal for the first time what many of these creatures actually look like. You will learn secrets of the magical realms, including the history of the five great monarchs: The Underking, the Fairy Queen, the Demon King, the Giant Queen, and the Dragon King. In addition, you will learn about the priceless stone called the Ethergem that powered three of the five crowns of the monarchs. By the end of the book, you will know more about dragons, giants, and wizards (and a host of other creatures) than your average dungeon masters. Make yourself familiar with a stud of magical items and artifacts, including the five legendary swords, never before revealed in any other publication known to humankind. This information alone is worth all the gold in your pockets. In addition, you will find a personal letter from the World’s Greatest Adventurer, Patton Burgess. Take heed of what he has to say, and you may live to the ripe age of sixteen. You are now part of a consortium of wizards, enchantresses, dragon slayers, and others who risked everything to free the world from the tyrannical rule of dragons. A word to the wise: If you are being hunted by a dragon, no stronghold or castle will hide you for long. The best way to survive a dragon is not defense—you need offense. Use the information inside this book to go forth and hunt!
