Prequel Gamebooks
 


The gamebooks listed below predate the events of the main Core Gamebooks found within the Chronicles of Arborell adventure series. From each unfolds important events that have shaped the world of Arborell prior to the restoration of the Tellandra and the death of Windhammer. In these gamebooks can be found the origins of many of the artifacts that figure prominantly in the histories of Arborell, and the stories of some of the important characters that shaped the world at the time of Halokim Vesh's sojourn into the halls of Stoneholme. What can be found here also are clues to the tangled intrigues of the Four Nations and the greater dangers that lay beyond the borders of the known world.

Each gamebook in the prequel series is a standalone adventure, providing insights into the continuing history of Arborell and the ties that bind the distant past of the world with the destinies of both the Men of the Four Nations and the Kraals of the Oera'dim. Ranging between 100 and 300 sections all will be free to download upon completion from the links provided below. Availability and timeline dates are also given.
