Reading these adds to your information about locations, monsters, people and history, but also is just fun, as many of the entries are comical and there just for amusement. More recent role playing games tend to collate this in-game information in a reference section for easy checking but this is not the case with Shadow Madness. What follows is a kind of walkthrough for the game but only identifying the locations and content of the books. I have given the exact locations of all books in the order in which they can be found, and copied out the extra information from the books. Obviously that information is recorded directly from the game and all the credits go to the developers Craveyard at Crave Entertainment Inc. The locations and added notes are my own work. Many of the books require you to say yes if you want to read and continue reading, and they can be scrolled through quickly or not at all. Some will get an additional comment if you don't read them, and others, if you do! ----------------------- Revision: November 2007 ----------------------- Since I completed the script and walkthrough for Shadow Madness, I have revised this FAQ so it ties in with the other two, and added the same Table of Contents and Search Code to ease cross referencing. I have omitted the subsections for the locations which do not have any books to read. oo============================================oo || * indicates a place where there are books! || oo============================================oo =============================================================================== Table of Contents =============================================================================== Use the search codes to find whatever section you want.

Back issues of "Mountain Man Quarterly"...(no text) Bookcase at back of room -------------- Keerg's Fables --------------- By the Brothers Woods A poor woodcutter lived with his wife and eleven children in a small hovel at the edge of a forlorn forest. One day, while he was hacking away at the trunk of an ancient Kii tree, he heard a voice call out to him..."Chop the tree from the inside out!" Thinking he was being accosted by a fool or maniac, the woodcutter put his axe down and turned to see who was speaking. But there was no one there! He picked up his axe, and raised it above his head to continue his efforts, when again, he heard the voice..."Chop the tree from the inside out!" Now he was getting worried. He picked up his things and started to walk away when he noticed a rooster standing on a pile of rubbish. Thinking this was rather odd, the man approached the rooster and said, "Is it you who was talking to me?" Immediately, the rooster turned into a man. The man said, "Yes, it was I. Did you understand my words?" Thinking about it, the man answered, "No. I thought they were stupid! I do not know! I do not know how to chop wood from the inside out." Immediately the woodcutter turned into a rooster, and began to peck on the ground for food. Keerg, who had earlier taken the aspect of a rooster to teach the man some wisdom, just shook his head. Keerg picked up the rooster and stuffed it into a sack. "This will fetch a few goldpieces in the market," he thought... Some people "know what they know" and go no further. These people are merely stepping stones on our path to enlightenment... Book on the table. ----------------------- Day Trips from Karillon. ----------------------- The Homelands By Lois Hybukk Society Editor Karillon Press All Rights Reserved Chapter 1: Gateway to the World: Port Lochane Known as the 'jewel of the southern coast', this beautiful and peaceful port town is the gateway to Siltheria and beyond. Children laugh and play in the marketplace as you make your way past stalls heaped with goods from all over the world. Sample exotic and tasty treats in the stalls and restaurants all over town. In particular. I recommend a dish of caramelised globe fruit from the Deep Forest Sea, which you can order in any restaurant. Try Dander's By the Sea, or Mirajal's on Bay Avenue for great views and top-notch service. Be sure and stop by the many dry goods and other stores around the Port to find great values in clothing and equipment...including ropes, cookware, maps and fittings. Cross and Hatchet Antiques is not to be missed, with its huge warehouse of furniture and household artefacts from the world over. Chapter 2: Enclaan: Living in the Past To spend time in Enclaan is to travel back in time to a simpler, quieter existence. I spent a week here, in the famous Enclaan Niam Inn and was pampered every step of the way. The rooms were quiet and grand, and the food, featuring game from the surrounding areas, was exquisite. I spent many a quiet afternoon sitting and chatting with the townsfolk, who often invited me in for a meal afterward. Hike the countryside, slip into a bubbling hot spring, or swim in the crystal-clear mineral pool at the foot of this hillside burg. Experience serenity in this lifetime! Chapter 3 Barleygrove Beckons! Country life, farms and bucolic charm massage your frayed nerves as you relax in Barleygrove. 5 arrived at harvest time, as fibrous plants were being scythed, baled and stacked for the rope factories in Port Lochane. One surprise was the Gadgeteer-built agricultural robot that was tending a large spread. It worked tirelessly from morning to night, and I got used to seeing it out of my inn window! If only we could all be so productive!. Gadgeteer technology seems to be a growing presence even in the most rustic of Arkosian landscapes. This writer wonders if this technology is really for the better. At any rate, see the real Barley-grove now...before it's gone! Chapter 4 Forestgrove: Just Passing Through! For those of you who have plenty of intestinal fortitude, make a brief stop at Forestgrove on your tour of the Homelands. Nicknamed the "show me" town of Arkose, this small hamlet offers a glimpse of 'country livin'...at its worst! You might be invited in for a sour-ada and some conversation. Don't be surprised if you are invited to leave instead! We know people who come here just to see how rudely they might be treated. An 'I Survived The Grove" club in Karillon offers folks the chance to share their tales. Brave the 'Grove' for a romp through the stereotypes you keep your children from! Chapter 5 Don't Pass on the Mountain Pass! So many tales exist about the Homelands caverns, that we decided to explore the region for ourselves. We collected stories from locals, and investigated the many caves. Suffice it to say you shouldn't miss a chance to meditate in these quiet havens. The Pass offers the finest specimens of subterranean flora and fauna. Moss-lined and peaceful beyond belief, the caves provided my children with a safe place to play for hours on end. We kept dry while the spring rains soaked the valley floor outside. Hiking Difficulty is Moderate. ============= Brinks' Cabin ============= On the floor by the table. ------------------ Gone with the Wind ------------------ By Maggie Steamwald Artilesque Press Karillon, AF 212 Maybel stood on the edge of the cliff, her hair streaming out behind her, whipped by the raging storm. Waves crashed on the rocks far below, and the tang of the ocean assaulted her senses...Maybel had known pure love...but now she would embrace pure death. She had no choice...Maybel was ready. The fall to the rocks below would be far less painful...than the spiritual anguish she would have to endure were she to obey her father's command. An edict, really, to become the oh-so-young wife of stodgy old Lord Abbagale. Emmanuel Abbagale, the tight fisted gin blossom-festooned beefcake and heir to Applegale Manor. Yes, it would all end here, with just one tiny little step.. ...(to be continued) And Stinger says: "Grrr. I hate cliff hanger endings"!!

CCE (Honorary) ARS Master Historian Archive of Arts and Letters, Karillon Press The Sands of Uhndrashi stretch as far as the eye can see, wavering in the heat of the noon day sun. Neither animal nor vegetable can truly thrive here. In fact, the only known inhabitants are a backward, nomadic tribe of totemists said to be searching the sands for their arrant gods, or 'thaavagi'. Recent scientific fieldwork suggests that the nomads are a genetically mean and savage people who possess a substandard brain capacity. The nomads are therefore unburdened by modern morals, ethics and proper behaviour. A nomad might just as well slit your throat as lick his finger to turn a page in his story book. (That is, if he were able to read.) The chieftain, or 'chtoloog' of the nomads lives from one 'toopta' or disaster. to the next, barely surviving with his authority intact. This chaotic lifestyle, termed 'tlook a, noo ta, is revered by the nomads. Most of these 'toopta' involve illicit or improper dealings with the 'tmahaii', or 'property' of his loyal followers. For a complete (and sometimes shocking) discussion of these backward and cunning people...see D.

Top Floor: up left ladder ------------------------------- The Compendium of World History: Volumes 4 - 10 ------------------------------- Complied by Miriam Cobster for the Archive of Arts and Letters, Karillon (Volumes 1, 2 and 3 are at the Magic Academy. It is a good idea to read them first and then you get the chance to read these volumes on your return to Karillon, thus getting the full impact of Arkosian history) -------- Volume 4 -------- 6,400 BF Official Toparri settlements on Arkose are shut down, the inhabitants returning to Arkose. Rebel Toparri remain, however. 5,000 BF First sightings of primitive Orgs and Banori in Wyldern. Many Toparri believe them to be the results of experiments conducted by rogue scientists and magi; no conclusive evidence is brought to light. 4,500 BF Early Human civilisations appear in Wyldern. 4,400 BF Primitive hunter-gatherer style Banori tribes appear in Wyldern. 4.000 BF First appearance of the Mage-Kings on Arkose. The descendants of the Rebel Toparri, the first Kings bring advancements and true civilisation to Arkose. The five Kings establish the royal bloodlines that would go on to rule Arkose for three millennia: Khelest, Silther, Uhndrash, Metabolas, and Dromya. -------- Volume 5 -------- The Second Imperial Age 3,800-3,792 BF First Mage War. The Kingdoms of Silther and Uhndrash fight for supremacy on their continent, (then known as Yiminia). Khalest remains neutral, as does Dromya. Metabolas intervenes on behalf of Silther, and the war ends with concessions given to Silther. 3,775-3,770 BF Second Mage War. Uhndrash forges an alliance with Khelest, and invades Silther. Metabolas, not willing to risk a war with Khelest, provides limited aid to their Siltherian allies. Dromya remains neutral. War ends with armistice, ceding all but the Siltherian homeland to Khelest and Uhndrash. Khelest then takes most of the ceded land, infuriating Uhndrash--but not to the point of war. Tribal Wars begin in Wyldern, leading to the Feudal Age. The Toparri, for the most part, remain neutral as tribes of Org and Banori struggle for dominance throughout the rest of Wyldern. Evidence of Toparri meddling in the affairs of others surfaces, as both the Org and Banori begin to use crude forms of magic at this time. 3,666 BF Castle Khelest built. The seat of the Khelestran kingdom, it will eventually become the city of Karillon. Other mage kings, impressed by the opulence and majesty of Castle Khelest, will begin construction of their own castles in the years to come. 3,660 BF Castle Metapoline construction begins. First use of vessels upon the Deep Forest Sea, as clever workers discover a speedier way to get materials to Metabolas Island for the castle's construction. -------- Volume 6 -------- 3,657 BF Castle Metaboline completed. Ziggurat at Uhndrash construction begins. 3,600 BF In an amazing act of unity, the Banori clans unite under one King. This unity allows the Banori to stand fast against the more numerous, but divisive Org War tribes. 3,597 BF Ziggurat of Uhndrashi completed. 3,582 BF Metabolinean Western Fortress completed. Its ruins later become the foundation of the town of LaFitte. 3,580 BF Castle Silther completed. It subsequently becomes the first town of Artelier. -------- Volume 7 -------- 3,574 BF The Banori attempt to solicit the aid of the Toparri, with disastrous results. The polite refusal of aid by the Toparri is interpreted as an insult by the Banori King, who later attempts to invade the Serene Gardens. This act of violence is met by firm, non-lethal mystic resistance. The lesson is well learned; the Banori leave the Toparri alone for many years afterwards. 3,570 BF Castel Dromya completed: future site of the village of Fanoma-Tal. 3,500 BF First appearance of Magewarriors, in border disputes between Khelest-occupied Yimimia and Siltherian regulars. The Banori King claims and secures all land north of the Wyldern River (save for that claimed by the Toparri), leaving the Org Warlords to settle who controls the Southlands. 3,460-3,451 BF Third Mage War, Silther, Uhndrash, and Metabolas unite to repel Khelest from Ylminia. Invasion of Khelest is hamstrung by last-minute intervention of Dromya on behalf of Khelest. Ylminia is divided equally between Silther and Uhndrash. Metabolas vows vengeance on Dromya for their role in the Third Mage War. -------- Volume 8 -------- 3,400-3,380 BF Dromyan-Metaboline War. The two isolated kingdoms wage bitter war for decades. First war involving battles with conjured creatures, Drakes, Giants, Trolls, and Hydras introduced as beasts of warfare. The extreme distance between the two kingdoms makes war grow increasingly impractical; war ends inconclusively due to lack of involvement from other kingdoms. 3,380-2,000 BF 'The Golden Era.' Warfare between the kingdoms is minimal, allowing for many great scientific discoveries and advancements. The villages that will eventually become Barleygrove, Forestgrove, and Port Lochane are built during this period, adding to the kingdom of Khelest. In Wyldern, the first Org Empire is established. The Banori Kingdom warns the newly-crowned Emperor not to pursue any aggression against them. The Emperor agrees, as he is still consolidating his power. 1,968 BF Castle Brokul built in the Khelestrian Mountains; future site of the village of Bene-Brokul. -------- Volume 9 -------- 1,957 BF Catle Domhain built in Crescent Valley: it is the future site of the village of Anglerville. 1,956 BF Cyl Og Qar (City of Shadows) is established in SW Wyldern, later to become Cyl Og Sul. 1,952 BF- 1,940 BF The Org-Banori Wars. The Org Empire declares war on the Banori Kingdom, beginning one of the bloodiest periods of history in Wyldern. The death toll nears a million by the end of a series of battles. Ultimately, the Banori surrender to the Orgs, becoming subjects of the Empire. On Arkose, Khelest invades Dromya, successfully conquering that kingdom. The Dromyan King is exiled to Silther. --------- Volume 10 --------- 1,890 BF The Fourth Mage War rages. Also called the Grand War, it saw the alliance of Silther, Uhndrash, Metabolas, and the Dromyan Partisans against Khelest. Khelest is successfully invaded, though the invaders are halted in the Crescent Valley. A brutal period of stalemate follows, ending when the forces of Khelest are broken. As the allied troops prepared to march on Karillon, the Khelestran forces surrender. The armistice that follows frees Dromya and grants tremendous concessions to the remaining allies. 1,865-1,845 BF A sixth Kingdom is established to 'cripple Khelest.' The bloodline of Tulia is made a part of the 'noble house', and ceded Eastern Khelest as its homeland. The weakening of Khelest is a crucial point in history; it marks the beginning of Imperial decline on Arkose. In Wyldern, the Toparri Schism occurs. Nagruk, leader of the rebels, is turned to stone. His followers, the Dendroken, are exiled into the Tunnel Between Worlds. They find a radically different surface world when they arrive on Arkose. Many are killed; a few are captured and enslaved by forces of King Dromya XXI. A few manage to escape. In time, they settle in the rough wilderness at the bottom of the Deep Forest Sea, where they eventually become known as the Navigators. Ground Floor: in the left row of books ------------------ Tome of the Undead: to right of left hand ladder ------------------ By Faruk the Younger Khelest House, LTD. The darg are said to have animated the corpses of their foes. These heinous 'undead' were then sent to harass and savage their former compatriots. Initial reports from the line indicated that the undead were potent foes, immune to pain and fatigue. This physical toughness was further complicated by a strong resistance to the powers of the mind. It was discovered that the fetid creatures had a vulnerability to spirit magic, however. Many magi suspected this was due to the torment 'unlife' placed upon their restless souls. Magewarriors strong in spirit became known as 'ghoul warriors' as they were often summoned to deal with the undead. Needless to say, they were not amused. ---------------------- When Friend Became Foe: to right of Tome ---------------------- The Story of the Chaoslings By Serf Dooley Khelest House, LTD. "Chaosling" is a derogatory term applied to the shadow mad folk corrupted by the touch of the Darg. Driven to fits of lunatic rage by their dread master, these poor wretches soon found themselves on the front lines. Like the undead, it is said they possessed staunch defences against psionic attacks. Fortunately for the magewarriors, the taint of the Darg made them susceptible to spirit magic. Chaoslings were discovered to be charged with the Dargs' chaos energy later in the war. Field troops took to wearing Chaos Wards to protect against Chaosling attacks. This practice led to the eventual discarding of the Chaosling as a line trooper. By war's end they were all but eliminated, a sad footnote in the annals of combat. ====================== Captain Willis' House: at the top of the path on the right. ===================== On the table at the back of the room. -------------------------- War Strategies for Dummies -------------------------- By General Mills, Retired 1.

Batson,esq. Khellest House, LTD. After the Great War, the once fertile land of Siltheria became a desert wasteland. The Darg set a host of horrid creatures upon that place, and many of them still roam the arid sands in search of a meal. The Wrathflower is a spiny plant that walks like a man. It is strong in earth power, though a good flame or frost will repel the mindless thing from your presence. The Sand Lizard, called frasnashik by the local nomads, is also a potent earth force wielder. Flame is useless against this beast, but a good iceblast will strike a telling blow. Incidentally, frasnashik tastes like chicken if consumed warm. The Rasgar is a vicious arachnid, enlarged and enchanted by the Darg. Beware its mystic strikes! They can slow the body's movements, or rob you of your sight. All the better for the cunning Rasgar to suck your lifeblood from you! I'm sure you'll agree that would be a rather poor ending to a Siltherian safari. ----------------------- The Real Life of Keerg: bookcase opposite woman. ---------------------- By Yan Milhaam Popular Press, International Raised at the base of the mighty city of Karillon, Keerg grew up amidst squalor and strife. The son of a cobbler and an apple polisher, from an early age, Keerg exhibited signs of a vast intelligence. As a toddler he built an electricity generator out of Klinker Toys, a building toy made of wood. Still used as the model for modern generators the world over, Keerg's device produced abundant electricity without harming the environment. Later Keerg turned away from science and embraced religion. His treatise on the gods, called 'The Powers that Do Be Do' changed the lives of many who devoured it. His gospel of peace, love and freedom was tailored to a people tired of war and global power struggles. Keerg's patented tie-dyed shirt and trousers soon appeared on the bodies of the devout, who tied flowers in their hair to honour their master. Keerg departed from Karillon one chilly autumn morning, to spread his gospel of joy and peace to the world. He disappeared a year to the day later, never to be seen or heard from again. Foul play is suspected. But Keerg's gospel lives on, bringing light to the faithful. A new dawn arose to greet the world in the wake of his passing. He lives on in the hearts and minds of us all. ---------------------- The Creations of Crobb: top bookcase, far left corner. ---------------------- Bt Chetty Khatson Khelest House, LTD. Crobb dabbled in the art of Golem making before researching chaos transmutations. Among his creations were the Rutabega, Gargoyle, Hammerhead, and Rumblebug. Initially intended as palace guards, the creatures were turned to darkness by the Darg. Charged with mystic energy, these creatures became a terror of the battlefield. Since they were forged by earth magic, their attacks were often rooted in that as well. Field troops took to wearing Earth Wards to protect against their attacks. Who knows how many lives were lost to these foes before that practice began?

Blattner Khelest House, LTD When travelling over the emerald splendour of the Deep Forest Sea, be sure to prepare yourself for encounters with the wildfire! Many a hapless treefarer has become a warm meal for these beasts. Eschew them at all costs. The Needlespitter is a particularly vicious bird. Carnivorous and territorial, it will attack without fear if your vessel should enter its domain. Potent in psionic attacks, it can telekinetically rend the flesh from your bones or paralyse you where you stand. The Wrathflower was once called a Tiaal Rose until its foul nature became apparent. This strange plant has a cunning intellect, and can attack with the powers of psion and chaos thanks to the Darg. Fire and Ice work well against it. After the battle, save the leaves! They make a devilishly savoury salad! Cousin to the Khelestran Shockworm the Treeworm is a noxious pest. Its Voltblast and earth magic attacks are not to be taken lightly. Fortunately, conventional weaponry works well against the winged nuisance. I'm told the creatures fear monkeys, but sadly, I had no primate along to test the theory. Ah, well!

The S-ma'ghick Arrives and Kills Many
-------------------------------------
Translated from ancient Arkosian by Lang Scott, Arkose Royal Society.


Long ago there were people here, living a nomadic existence.

'These people, the Q'wek, knew of others in the area, especially those dwelling
along the shore with whom they traded.'

'Now it happened in one of these shoreline villages, Ak wo'mima, that something
awful came out of the sea.'

It must have come from under the seafloor and made its way there.  It was a big
thing that just came out and lay there and could draw people into it with its
breath.  In fact, for many months that's all it did...just lay there inhaling
things...

Its breath was so strong, it could draw people in from distant villages.  A man
might try to evade the thing, but it would still pull him in no matter how hard
he struggled.  It would always swallow these people.  Then it would flop around
and find more people in another direction.  One day a young warrior ran to the
thing's tail and painted a face on it.  A big face, but simple.

The thing made an odd noise, and flopped about so that it could inhale its own
tail.  It inhaled for days.  It took in all the sand on the beach.  It took in
the fishing canoes and nets.  And finally, it took in its own tail, until it
ripped itself apart.

Pieces of the thing floated down into the sea and began to grow.  And this is
the birth of seaweed, which the tribes along the seashore later came to harvest
and eat.   And now we can only wonder where the mate of that thing is!

Keerg's Fables
--------------
By the Brothers Woods


A poor woodcutter lived with his wife and eleven children in a small hovel at
the edge of a forlorn forest One day, while he was hacking away at the trunk of
an ancient Kii tree, he heard a voice call out, to him...

"Chop the tree from the inside out!"

Thinking he was being accosted by a fool or a maniac, the woodcutter put his
axe down and turned to see who was speaking.  But there was no one there! He
picked up his axe, and raised it above his head to continue his efforts, when
again, he heard the voice...

"Chop the tree from the inside out!"

Now he was getting worried.  He picked up his things and started to walk away
when he noticed a rooster standing on a pile of rubbish.  Thinking this was
rather odd, the man approached the rooster and said, "Is it you who was talking
to me?" Immediately, the rooster turned into a man.  The man said, "Yes, it was
I.  Did you understand my words?"

Thinking about it, the man answered, "No.  I thought they were stupid!  I do
not know!  I do not know how to chop wood from the inside out."  Immediately
the woodcutter turned into a rooster, and began  to peck on the ground for
food.  Keerg, who had earlier taken the aspect of a rooster to teach the man
some wisdom, just shook his head.

Keerg picked up the rooster and stuffed it into a sack.  "This will fetch a few
gold pieces in the market," he thought...

Some people "know what they know" and go no further.  These people are merely
stepping stones on our path to enlightenment...

An Account of the Master's Early Years
Published by the 'Keepers of the Faith'

Out of Keerg's inner search sprang a being, a youth, splendid and frightening
all at once.  "Who are you?" asked Keerg? "I am the world Creator.  I am here
to instruct you.  You have work to do."

"You are to go wandering about the earth, striking bewilderment and joy into
men and women with your message of love and peace."

"No god, no heavenly spirit or demon shall be inaccessible to your words.  You
shall be the ultimate 'tamer of beasts.'"

"In return, you shall receive knowledge and understanding.  You shall be
granted answers to the questions that cloud your mind.  You shall find peace."

"When do I leave?" queried Keerg.

"Just now!" came the answer.  "Take nothing with you.  All will be provided.
Go, and spread the word.  I shall find you again when the time is right."

And that is how Keerg began a pilgrimage that spawned a new faith!

...and we must bear in mind that many herbs and roots were named not for any
inborn virtue and faculty, but from their figure, form and appearance.  We need
only think of, oh say, morsus diaboli, pentaphyyllum, cynoglossum,
ophioglossum, hepatica, dentaria, orchis and the like.

The same is true as to the signs of animal matters, because, in a like manner,
from the blood and excretions of animals all diseases which lie hidden in men
are recognised.

The Nature of Ideas
-------------------
By the eminent W. Toolsi
AF 233

Being a philosopher's study on the nature of knowledge and learning.

"I state it here, up front, that knowledge is nothing more than a kind of
contagion.

Knowledge, the carrier of which is information, spreads like a cold or the flue
(ibid) from person to person. As it is transmitted, it changes the behaviour of
the 'carriers'. And when a 'carrier' passes this information along, it
continues its insidious course, infecting others.  Just like other infections,
information can end up killing the host.

History has shown us that fathers and mothers poison the pure spirits of their
children.  The children are then damned to lives filled with war, hatred and
violence aimed at people they have never met face to face.

'What is the remedy?' you ask.  There is only one.  There must be spawned an
'anti-information' agent.  A 'counter idea' if you will.

If a new idea can be grown and nurtured such that it is spread throughout a
given people, it can result in a positive change in these people.  The most
evident example of this is the idea of the 'hero' in books and tales.  It is
only when the hero can match the strength of the enemy that a resolution
occurs.  When the idea of the hero can displace the idea of 'evil' evil dies.
Pure and simple.  New layers of knowledge can only be built on the foundation
of earlier ones.  But we must learn to shape this process, control it, to halt
the spread of evil.  We must instead spread the ideas of hope and life."

The Fat Cat and the Birds
-------------------------
(An Arkosian Fable)

"They tell me this happened years and years ago.  I'm sure it did...

Once upon a time, a big fat cat lay down to bask in the sun.  After a while, a
flock of birds flew by, observing the cat beneath them.

The birds turned as one and landed next to the cat.  They decided to play a
rather vicious trick on the cat.  They carefully sliced open the back end of
the cat, and removed a hunk of meat and fat.  They then sewed the cat back up,
but only after stuffing in a handful of pebbles using their tiny beaks.

When the cat awoke, it got up and began to walk towards the west.  As it
walked, the cat heard some strange shaking sounds.  He thought it must be a
rattle snake, and made sure not to get eaten or bit by the thing.

Soon he smelled something delicious cooking.  Following his nose, he came upon
a flock of birds, who were roasting some meat.

"Little ones, give me some of your meat!" said the cat.

And so they gave him some.  When he tasted the meat, he said, "Where did you
get this?  It's delicious!"

The birds answered, "There, behind you."

The cat turned, seeing a mountain range off in the distance.  "I shall go to
the mountain, and find my own meat!"

And that is how the birds got rid of a pesky cat, and had a good meal at the
same time.

Wylderian Horrors
-----------------
By Spug the Veiled
Khelest House, LTD

The fauna of Wyldern are generally timid and fearful of man.  However there are
a number of vicious predators in the Inner World!  The prudent traveller would
be well-advised to take precautions against them.

An Earthward of potency is a must.  Many of the flora and fauna brave enough to
attack men are charged with geomantric energies. This is no doubt a byproduct
of their primal connection to the land of Wyldern.  The constant mana
bombardment from Wyldern's mystic sun plays a role as well.

Rune of Fire and Ice will serve you well in battle.  In general, the creatures
fear these attacks and are weak against them.  As a rule Earth Runes are
useless, due to the geomantric strength of the indigenous life.

When in doubt, seek the counsel of an Org-Ta warrior.  These stout fighters
are among the best in Wyldern, and have great knowledge on the fauna.  Be
advised--they do not respond well to frivolous questions.  Such questioning
may present the foolhardy traveller with a new problem...perhaps a fatal one.

The People, for that is what we call ourselves, have a 'horror vacui' or
dislike for bland undecorated spaces in our structures, art and biomes.

Our 'workmen.' for lack of a better definition, will not look upon an article
as 'complete' until any blandness has been broken up, shaped and decorated.
Often this decoration leans toward the infrared spectrum, and is not visible to
those who cannot perceive this 'range' of light.  The simplest ornament, but
one of the most frequently seen, especially in classical works, is the 'fractal
baseline ornamentation.'  Its symmetry and beauty is unmatched in the natural
world.

Excerpts from 'The People,' the only Gadgeteer work to be published on Arkose.
The People, for that is what we call ourselves, stem from various sources of
genetic material, though 90 percent of our DNA originated on one planet. While
we have identified the space/time coordinates of our place of origin...

...it no longer has any meaning to us, as this distance in light-years is
abstract to the extreme.  Asked about 'religious' matters, we can only answer
that our technology functions both as a religion and a way of life.  The People
do have a purpose however.  While we cannot share particulars at this time, our
fates are strangely intertwined.

To us, all resources are valuable, scarce and ultimately reusable, which is why
nothing 'dies' in our great cities and ships.  We are the ultimate 'recyclers.'

In addition to utilising nano machines, the AI systems of certain of our
mechanisms incorporate durable bio-technology as well.  Biotechnology starts
with the strands of DNA that direct life in biological systems.  These can be
easily engineered to produce as assortment of useful items and technologies.

Although it might appear that many of our machines are 'alive,' the truth is
that unlike biological entities such as Arkosians...

...and the People, these devices are unaware of their own existence.  They
simply exist to serve us.  When we feel you are ready, we will be here to teach
you all that we know.

For we share in the struggles of all Arkosians.  May we together find and
follow the indirect and laborious path that leads to our impending--and
inescapable--future!

Gone With the Storm
-------------------
(The first part was in Brink's cabin at the start of the game.)

Part 2

By Maggie Steamwald,
Artilesque Press
Karillon. AF 212

When we last imagined our heroine, she was perched on the brink of a cliff,
ready to put an end to her days.  The reason?  Her father was forcing her to
marry Emmanuel Abbagale, the tight fisted, gin blossom-festooned beefcake and
heir to Abbagale Maanor.

We join our novel already in progress.

Maybel still stood on the edge of the cliff, her hair still streaming out
behind her, still whipped by the raging storm.  Why couldn't she do it?  Why
couldn't she jump?  It was then she realised it.  She was in love.  Completely
smitten.  You see, she'd fallen for....

Lord Abbagale's CASH!

Yes, Lord Abbagale's net worth was almost as voluminous as his waist line.

Maybel had known pure love...She had known longing...But now she knew a craving
like no other.  She loathed herself, nay, despised herself in a way few ever
will. She would accept this marriage.  She would go on a shopping spree to end
all shopping sprees.  She would treat all of Karillon to ice cream sundaes--
even the horses in the stable!

Smiling coyly to herself, and chuckling softly, Maybel slowly backed away from
the sheer precipice.  But what was that sound?  A crunching, groaning sound?
She felt movement.  The cliff edge...It was MOVING!

In the wink of an eye, Maybel was drawn over the edge of the Great Cliffs, and
into the waiting arms of the rocks below.  All of her life had been folly.  In
one instant, while moving rapidly downward through the air, she saw her brief
life play out before her.  Her final thought, as she neared the fatal shore was
how ironic it was for the gods above to have FINALLY handed her a 'treasure
chest' on a platter...

...but, sadly, a chest which contained only a jumbo can of "whup ass."

The end.

There are no more books until the Hexite Mines, and even then, these are not
really books.

After exiting mines and going to Garrison, finally the party gets back to the
Magic Academy, where they are split up again, this time into Stinger, Windleaf
and Harv-5, in one group, and the others in the other.

There is nothing more until Dantyr and the Banori Caverns.

The Banori Book of Slavedom
---------------------------
There are many ways of becoming a slave under the Law.

1. Any subject stealing food, jewels or meat animals may be punished by being
sold as a slave.

2. Any person making a wager but not coming through with a debt in the
prescribed amount of time may be sold for the amount of the debt.

3. A parent may sell an incorrigible or disobedient child in a public market
place or shop.  This sets an example to other children.

4. One can become a slave if he or she borrows something valuable, but fails
to return it.  In this case creditors can sell the individual for no more than
the value of the object in question.

5. In times of famine, a husband may sell his wife, or a wife her husband
should the sale be mutually agreed upon.

The NEW Art of War
------------------

'A Banori sage writes of the glory of battle.'

Ah!  The fondness we all share of warfare!  The weapons, the noise, the screams
and curses!

But we must not get giddy!  We must concentrate not on the glory to come, but
the work of the moment.

All of our beliefs can be summarized in this easy to memorise set of
instructions to you, the glorious warrior!

1. Slaughter everything in your path,
2. Club those you have slaughtered 'just to be sure.'
3. Burn those you have clubbed so that you can scatter their ashes and forever
   'disperse the evil will' of your enemy.
4. Rinse, and repeat if necessary.

The Spell of Banishment and the Demise of the Darg
--------------------------------------------------

Being the notes of the Mage King

...so it occurs to me that the spell had a sort of blanket hypnotic effect
which froze the thoughts and feelings of all the creatures on Arkose, if only
for an instant...

The very lifeblood of the Darg seems to be tied to our own memories and ideas
In fact the Darg seem to be part of us...we continually recreate them...sustain
them...And when we no longer house them in our thoughts, they vanish...

I am not sure if the effect of the spell will be permanent.  We can only pray.
At any rate it will be up to my descendants to ensure that the idea of the Darg
remains buried forever.  All mention of the scourge must be expunged.  I have
noticed that my people have no recollection of the Beast.  They see the damage
around them, but have no explanation.  Nor will I provide them with one.

For any who read this, know that one idea can replace or at least grow to match
the power of another...and thereby extinguish the other.  This is not unlike
falling in love after having your heart broken.  The sad memories are replaced
by the new ones.  So it would seem to be with the Darg, though on a horrific
scale.  Either one must freeze and expunge the evil idea from the minds of
all...Only an equal but opposite idea can rise up to vanquish the Beast!


There are no more books until you enter Tyr Og Nor.

A diary

---------------------
War Journal Entry 242
---------------------
Imperial Inquisitor Dacen reporting.

Today's experiments were encouraging.
Subject 23, a Toparri male, proved to be more resistant to radiation than
previous test subjects.

Subject's inherent resistance finally began to decay after 30 hours of
exposure.

I believe that we can move forward with the project.

The blueprints provided by our fallen Gadgeteers will be the undoing of the
Toparri.  Harnessing the power of Wyldern's sun, we shall use this "Heat Ray
Cannon" to fry the Gardens to a crisp.  Not even the mystic potency of the
Toparri can repel such a weapon.

A similar weapon will be constructed on Arkose, should this one prove its
worth. I look forward to using it to burn hallowed Karillon to a pile of molten
steel and ash.  Tomorrow work begins on Project Fallen Star.

It will be glorious.  (end entry 242)


After reading the whole diary, Stinger will say:

"Hmm...I think we know what those generators are for now... These freaks
must be stopped!"

                        ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND THANKS

===============================================================================

First I would like to acknowledge Craveyard and the team who developed this
unusual and fascinating game.  It may be flawed in some respects, but the
wealth of comic detail contained in the books is a testament to the skills of
the writing team.

I'd like to thank GameFAQs for being such a great website and for allowing
games like Shadow Madness to survive by having its own message board and FAQs.

A huge thank you to everyone at the Shadow Madness message board who have
helped keep alive interest in the game despite the passage of many years
since it was first released; and especially to 4nowlaters.

Thanks to TrueSin, whose inspirational "Prepare to Die" motto, and commitment
to Shadow Madness finally convinced me to play the game again, and write this
FAQ.

And last, but never least: thank you Saikyo Mog.
