Greeting,
I’m a long time Lone Wolf reader and fan. I just bought the Bestiary of the Beyond. It was the first time I bought something that wasn’t an official novel from Joe Dever. I have to say I am impressed by the Bestiary. The book is beautiful and actually very useful. I’m right now reading the New Order books. They are full of Agarashi and mutant beasts «from the beyond». And since the Gallimard french versions I am reading have very few illustrations, I often go back to the Bestiary to figure out what are these monsters that I’m fighting.
One thing, tough. There is a big omission in the Bestiary: the big guys! No section on the Darklords. Nothing about Agarash the Damned, the Shom’zaa, Tagazin, Ixiataaga, Kekataag or the Shog’aash of Lake Ghargon.
In that later case, Bestiary of the Beyond even goes out of his way, in the chapter Dragon-Creatures, to explain that «This chapter does not address the last remaining False Dragon, the mighty Shog’aash of Lake Ghargon».
Heu… why?!?
I didn’t expect a page on each 20 Darkords, since The Darklands book take care of that, but was fully expecting at least an entry about them, their general history, maybe with an illustration of Vashna or Gnaag, etc. Same for Agarash and his main lieutenants.
Did Cubicle 7 planned at one point to publish a special Encyclopedy of Evil to present the champions of Naar? If not, why are they left out of Bestiary of the Beyond? Anybody has a clue?
