GAME MASTER’S GUIDE
✦
FOREWORD
✦
It all started long before us, before we even knew that there
was a world called Trudvang. In ancient times, at the other side
of history, at the very beginning, people gathered around the
fire and told stories, tales about the gods, nature, wild rapids,
and evil creatures lurking in the darkness and shadows. The
stories all started the same way: “Once upon a time, in a land
unknown, there were great warriors, heroes, and impossible
quests.” The tales were about struggle and glorious battles
and adventures. The way we see it, Trudvang is just a small
piece of that great puzzle. It’s our own, for certain, but it’s so
much bigger than just a game. It’s part of the great tradition
of telling tales and inspiring others to dream and discover
worlds of imagination.
The story we will tell starts the same way.
“Once upon a time, there was a world called Trudvang . . .”

“The foolish man
thinks he will live
forever if he keeps
away from fighting, but
old age won’t grant
him a truce, even if the
spears do.”

Our style is to use “they” as a singular gender-neutral pronoun
when possible. This usage continues to gain mainstream
acceptance, including among major style guides such as The
Associated Press Stylebook and The Chicago Manual of
Style. We believe it is appropriate and practical, not just to
reflect common usage but to accommodate a more inclusive
view of gender identity. The Trudvang Chronicles books also
use “he” or “she” when helpful for added clarity.
