Book of the Light is a sourcebook presenting creatures from opposing sides of the immortal struggle in the setting. [1]

Reception

The reviewer from the online second volume of Pyramid stated that "Now, this feels like a good roleplaying book. The bright, glossy color cover features an evocative bit of artwork that nevertheless isn't inappropriate for, say, a coffee table. The book has a nice heft to it, and is liberally sprinkled with illustrations. In fact, the artwork drew me towards this. With a wonderful mix of styles, ranging from European woodcuts to incredibly twisted modern horror pen and ink, it's a pretty book." [2]
