The year is 597 of the Hanrilke Era. Humanity is scattered across the stars, divided by petty jealousies and political power struggles. Now, the dread Vaylen — sinister creatures that can possess a person, completely taking over his or her mind — have come crashing across the border again in search of hosts. With humanity consumed in its own wars, can it stop fighting long enough to repel the alien threat, or will this be humankind’s last stand?

Christopher Moeller’s Iron Empires (previously released as Shadow Empires) comes alive as never before. New art never seen before and detailed information on the Iron Empires and its culture is all contained within. Learn the hierarchy of the Mundus Humanitas, discover how psychology works, and take a tour of each of the major nations within the human realm. Plus, find out exactly how the Vaylen work and what their aims are. Also includes a complete role-playing game!
