"THE LEXICON is the cyclopedia and atlas of the Atlantean world, and the second book of Bard Games' ATLANTEAN TRILOGY (the companion volumes being THE ARCANUM and THE BESTIARY ). Together, the three books provide a highly detailed setting for fantasy role-playing; separately, any of the three books may be used to add variety and color to an ongoing campaign.

A brief history of the world can be found in Chapter One. It should be stressed that all dates aro approximate, and are based upon the Atlantean calendar (i.e., other cultures may employ different dating systems). In game terms, a Second Age campaign may begin anytime between the years 150-200 (by Atlantean Second Age reckoning); in modern day terms, this would equate to approximately 15,000 B.C.

For game purposes, all maps found in THE LEXICON should bo considered inaccurate to some degree, especially those which depict uncivilized lands (such as Lemuria, Mu, Anostos, etc.). This reflects the rather unsophisticated map-making techniques available to cartographers of this ancient period, and the lack of specific knowledge concerning many isolated regions. Game Judges will note that certain remote areas of the world have deliberately been described in vague or speculative terms. The reasons for this are simple: ocean travel was still considered dangerous by many people of the Second Age, and knowledge of isolated or distant lands was at best inexact..."
