Dedicated to Kyūbi. Because without you, none of this shit would exist.

When I built my original DnD world, I threw all the Asian-ish stuff on the Southern Continent with a couple country names and called it good. Your desire to use a character from that region caused me to flesh the Southern Continent out. Later, in the ‘Clash of Dragons’ game, your character would be the main influence on what would become Anoria.

Your choices and actions to save specifically the Iteyan people from the end of the world and in the specific way that it was done, gave the Anorians their culture, history, religion, and uniformity. Your interactions with Aezlyn created the Akumajin race. Your influence on this story doesn't stop there.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

In the newer game we collaborated on your character’s back story. Creating the war in the Mizuyamachi kingdom. I think you created four of the characters seen in the prologue. One of which is your character from the very short lived Fate game I tried to run. The opening scene of this book was supposed to be the end fight of that game.

So thank you for over several years, helping me to create these cultures, people, and the worlds we’ve run in.
