Foreword

The plan to give birth to the second volume of the critically-acclaimed Monsternomicon came years before I had the honor

to join the excellent team of writers, editors, and creative minds at Privateer Press. Without their experience, patience, and guid-

ance this book would never have survived its brutal adolescence to transform into the uncompromising beast it is today.

A glorious hybrid of monster book and campaign guide, this book owes much to its predecessor in style and format and of

course to the indomitable character of Professor Viktor Pendrake. For those of you new to these books, you can read more about

Professor Pendrake on p. 218 of the Monsternomicon Volume I.

Many of the characters introduced in the first volume make an appearance here, including associate professors Lynus

Wesselbaum and Edrea Lloryrr. Not to be missed are the tales of Alten Ashley, western Immoren’s foremost monster hunter, nor

the experiences of Bloodstone Marches expert and guide Quimut.

This tome is dedicated to all those who were disappointed when their mothers told them there were no such thing as monsters.

Using this Book

The entries in this book are slightly different in format from the previous volume. In particular the first line of the monster

stats provides a one or two letter abbreviated alignment followed by the creatures size, type, and challenge rating in a condensed

format.

Two new entries have been added as well. Senses provides information on a creature’s sight and bonuses to Spot and Listen skills.

Immunities/Resistances provides information on the immunities, racial traits, and damage and spell resistances of the creature.

A great deal about using the Legends & Lore entry can be found in pages 208-209 of the first volume of the

Monsternomicon.

Lastly, in order to condense the monster stats and provide more room for descriptive text, when a stat is not applicable (such

as having no Advancement) the line has been removed from the statistics.

The back story...

Unlike the previous Monsternomicon, a number of events have led to Professor Pendrake venturing into previously unex-

plored territories.

Before undertaking his career as an explorer or earning appointment as Chancellor of Extraordinary Zoology at Corvis

University, Professor Viktor Pendrake served as a scout in the Cygnaran Army. After Corvis experienced a near catastrophic inva-

sion by the skorne in 603 AR and a renewed invasion in 606 AR, Professor Pendrake felt it was his patriotic duty to become

a scout once again. He ventured into the Bloodstone Marches to investigate the scope of this threat alongside his trusty Idrian

guide Quimut, a man of proven familiarity with the wind-swept wasteland.

The good professor’s efforts were cut short after violent clashes with the invaders. Quimut was nearly cut in twain by the tre-

mendous blade of a cyclops warrior from the east. Pendrake left Quimut in the care of friendly trollkin and followed the skorne

unaware that doing so would change his destiny. The skorne discovered their pursuer and captured him. Pendrake was thrown in a

cage after being dealt grievous injury at the powerful hands of a titan.

Pendrake was dragged east to a massive fortress bridging the Abyss controlled by none other than Vinter Raelthorne IV,

former king of Cygnar and now supreme tyrant of the Skorne Empire. Raelthorne offered Professor Pendrake a simple choice:

venture into the east to chronicle Vinter’s greatness or face immediate execution.

The threat of death notwithstanding, Pendrake knew he had been handed a singular opportunity. No scholarly man had gone

into eastern Immoren—half of the continent remained unexplored. He knew he must seize the chance to see creatures undreamt

of in the west. Pendrake was joined in his explorations by a skorne watcher named Kaleda who was tasked with both keeping him

safe and on a short leash.

The full extent of Pendrake’s adventures in the east must remain a tale for another time, but he witnessed many sights and spec-

tacles chronicled on the pages herein. He may not have expected to live to return west and publish his work, but fate conspired to

bring friends and allies to his rescue. After a harrowing boat trip through the Shattered Spine Islands and crashing on the Alchiere

Subcontinent, Pendrake at last returned to the hallowed halls of his university. With him he brought a wealth of previously untapped

lore and has shed new light on eastern Immoren and its dangerous species. Many mysteries are yet to be explored and lie waiting

beyond the next horizon for discovery by adventurers following in Professor Pendrake’s esteemed footsteps.
