World of Battal Sourcebook

This sourcebook is the definitive guide to just about anything pertaining to the general setting of Battal. This sourcebook is intended to give GMs the ability to describe their story setting in nauseatingly accurate detail. Subjects included in the sourcebook are:

• Astrolonomy: Including an Ephmeris for the Battal Night Sky.
• Calendars: Feasts
• Currency and Trade: Includes monetary conversions and economic models for Battal depending on era.
• Foods of Battal: Includes recipes
• Forms of Government
• Languages and Customs: Religions of Battal, Famous Songs and Melodies with full musical score, Games and Sports with complete rules, and a full dictionary and gammar guide for all languages.
• Locations: Maps, Planes, Monuments, and The Inns and Taverns of Battal
• Organizations: Includes Item Laws
• People: Professions, Rulers, Dieties and Furniliars
• Plants
• Races
• Weather: Including a model for Battal's Weather which can tell you what weather will be happening where and when given some initial conditions.
• Weights and Measures: Complete with full conversion tables.

When this massive work was first published the economic, astronolomical, and meteorlogical models were printed using tables and equations which took up the bulk of the sourcebook. Later editions condensed these into a 3 CD set at the highest compression possible, each CD contained a program that would run one of the models.

WARNING: These models take serious computer time and resources to run.

It has been rumored that the great Tycho Brahe even had to use this monstorous work as a crutch for writing about Battal. Which is crazy because he would have to be a genius Mathematican, Economist, and Meteorologist in order to use the First Edition of this sourcebook, which was the only one availible to him at the time of him writing The Elemenstor Cycle.
