An age of magic once existed in our world. Lost to history, this time is remembered in the echoes of myth and legend. Humans lived alongside the other Namegiver races-dwarf and elf, troll and ork, windling, t'skrang and obsidiman. The wild places of the world were home to griffins, shadowmants, and other fantastic beasts. The Player's Guide provides you with the rules for playing characters from First to Eighth Circle, with all the talents, spells, and other tools needed to forge your own legends in the Earthdawn Roleplaying Game!
