Torchbearer: Lore Master's Manual

The waters of knowledge flow slow and black beneath the mountains of civilization. These subliminal rivers well up into the earth of society through cracks of doubt and questions. They quench the parched throats of seekers of discernment who would lower their lips to their gelid surface.

Student of lore, you shall thirst no more. You have dipped your hand into a streaming whorl of wisdom. You have cracked the spine of this tome searching for answers to questions both asked and unasked. We, the humble authors, masters of obscure scholarship, hope that you find within these dusty folios what you seek, but we can offer no guarantee. For the river of knowledge pushes past all resistance with a will of its own, creating its own destiny, like time and tide.
