Centuries ago, at the close of the last age, a 900 year old gnome catalogued the various trials, perils, and creatures encountered in the vast hollow earth, thereby providing a handbook to aid humans on their own expeditions for lost knowledge. The Enchiridion de Rebus Subterraneis was masterfully translated into English word for word by the famous archivist Thanato Excorpus and titled "The Deeptracker's Guide to Thaumaturgy and Netherbeasts." Imported from the shores of Whitehawk six centuries ago, no other translations exist. The London fire of 1666 consumed the only manuscript known of the original Latin. The gnome treats on the various environments of the intermudane caverns and subterraneous worlds, providing eyewitness testimony, ancient manuscripts, Church-like admonitions, and rebuke against unbelievers. Includes many "short story" pieces of the gnome's encounters as well.

The Deeptracker's Guide and the short stories in The Fall of Nystol and Other Tales are the OLDEST tomes DATING BACK TO 1986, (and now finally ready at LULU.com). Included is the philosophic magian-system Father designed in seminary. Just this last year he polished up the Nystol-cycle which was left in his old college notebook. He has been hard at work finding lost legends for you!
