(The Story So Far) There is some confusion around the use of the term Old Kingdom in this book. Although the native Ixians are often described as belonging to the time of the Old Kingdoms (Section 152), it is clear from the fact that the Deathlord destroyed them during the Age of Eternal Night that they could not have existed during the Age of the Old Kingdoms which began more than 1000 years after the Age of Eternal Night ended. (See The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now.) The author may have used the term Old Kingdom to refer to any humanoid nation prior to the appearance of the Shianti.

-

(The Game Rules) The Discipline bonuses mentioned do not affect your permanent scores. If you have completed previous adventures, the Disciplines that you have mastered may still be beneficial. See the Grand Master Rules section of the Readers Handbook for details.

-

(The Game Rules) Note that this list now includes the Silver Bracers and Korlinium Scabbard. These items are restored to the list of permissible items from the Kai and Magnakai series again in this book after being omitted beginning in The Captives of Kaag. Presumably, therefore, it should be permissible to leave the Silver Bracers and Korlinium Scabbard in safekeeping at the monastery during the previous books and retrieve them at the outset of this adventure.

-

(Grand Master Disciplines) The rules of the books in the Magnakai series (612) and the fact that the rank of Kai Grand Defender means you are skilled in two weapons imply that for each book that you complete of the Grand Master series (1320), you will gain mastery of an additional Weapon. For example, if you complete The Plague Lords of Ruel and have the Grand Master Discipline of Grand Weaponmastery at the beginning of the next book, you can choose an additional Weapon from the list to have mastery of.

-

(Improved Grand Master Disciplines) The Strength spell is, in practice, also used in armed combat contrary to what is indicated here.

-

(10) This is the correct answer to the crystal dais grid in Section 69.

-

(20) This is the correct answer to the ancient, green crystal lock in Section 213.

-

(64) The wording of this section ignores the fact that you may arrive here without passing through the curtain of light.

-

(67) Unless you have Grand Weaponmastery and are a Sun Knight or higher, you may not use a two-handed weapon (i.e. Broadsword, Quarterstaff, or Spear) for this combat.

-

(69) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct. You have only one chance to guess at the correct answer. If you guess incorrectly, turn immediately to 139.

-

(77) There is no mention of what type of Weapon the Power Spike is. If you choose to consider it one of the close combat Weapons used by the Kai (i.e. Spear, Dagger, Mace, Short Sword, Warhammer, Quarterstaff, Broadsword, Axe, and Sword), you may add all appropriate bonuses to your Combat Skill. If you decide that the Power Spike is not any of those Weapons, you may still decide that your Weaponmastery bonuses, if any, apply since Grand Masters are proficient with all close combat and missile weapons due to their knowledge of Magnakai Weaponmastery. (Grand Master Disciplines)

-

(96) Kajarda are undead. (See Section 8, 52, or 265.)

-

(100) This is the correct answer to the intricate lockplate in the centre of the green crystal door in Section 322.

-

(123) It is unclear whether a 0 picked on the Random Number Table should count as exactly 0. Since the procedure described here is similar to the procedure for Kai-blast, and you are required to be a Sun Lord who has mastered Kai-surge, it would be reasonable to count 0 as a 1 in the same way as for Kai-blast. Remember that a Kai-blast reduces your ENDURANCE total by 4.

-

(125) Kajarda are undead. (See Section 6, 8, 52, 103, 120, or 265.)

-

(137) Unless you have Grand Weaponmastery and are a Sun Knight or higher, you may not use a two-handed weapon (i.e. Broadsword, Quarterstaff, and Spear) for this combat.

-

(141) Assuming that this weaponry was created by native Ixians prior to their destruction at the hands of the Deathlord since no other nation has occupied Ixia since that time, it is impossible to reconcile calling them Old Kingdom armourers with the timeline presented in The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now. According to that book, the Ixians must have been destroyed long before the Age of the Old Kingdoms.

-

(152) It is impossible to reconcile the statement that the native Ixians reigned in the time of the Old Kingdoms with the timeline presented in The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now. According to that book, the Ixians must have been destroyed long before the Age of the Old Kingdoms.

-

(162) It is impossible to reconcile the statement that Old Kingdom magic is older than the Deathlords vile necromancy with the timeline presented in The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now and the statements about the origin of magical power in The Realms of Northern Magnamund: The Birth of Magnamund and The Realms of Southern Magnamund: Man, Magic and the Moonstone in that same book. According to The Magnamund Companion, magic entered Magnamund with the Elder Magi long after Agarash and his minion, the Deathlord.

-

(165) It is impossible to reconcile the statement that the native Ixians were a race of the Old Kingdoms with the timeline presented in The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now. According to that book, the Ixians must have been destroyed long before the Age of the Old Kingdoms.

-

(179) It is unclear whether Grand Huntmastery should help you find food in this situation. Note that this appears to be the only section within the Grand Master books where Huntmastery is not mentioned in when you are required to eat a Meal. This either means that the current omission is intentional because the author is otherwise so consistent, or it means that Huntmastery was intended to be applied in all situations and this is a unintentional omission.

-

(213) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct. You have only one chance to guess at the correct answer. If you guess incorrectly, turn immediately to 199.

-

(220) This is a permanent enhancement to this Weapon.

-

(234) It seems logical that you should deduct 1 ENDURANCE point due to this use of Kai-surge.

-

(239) There is no path which leads to this section of the book. It is functionally identical to Section 23 and Section 242, and therefore its isolation does not affect the gameplay of the book.

-

(287) Kajarda are undead. (See Section 6, 8, 52, 103, 120, or 265.)

-

(322) The section corresponding to the correct answer will have a footnote confirming that it is indeed correct. You have only one chance to guess at the correct answer. If you guess incorrectly, turn immediately to 84.

-

(343) It is impossible to reconcile the statement that the native Ixians reigned in the time of the Old Kingdoms with the timeline presented in The Magnamund Companion, Magnamund Then and Now. According to that book, the Ixians must have been destroyed long before the Age of the Old Kingdoms.
