This is the journal of Zong-Tossu, a master ghav-urath (life-shaper) from the Rhul-thaun capital of Thamasku.

We recently added a new Files section to the Resources menu of the site. This is a fantastic addition to the site allowing us to have a repository of content that is not a product, but instead a small standalone downloadable resource file such as maps, handouts, etc. These files can be tied to specific products so if you’re in the Freedom product you’ll see associated files for download.
