Earthdawn (Fandom)

The Earthdawn Fandom is a small, rich, and ever-dissappearing community. Many fansites have existed over the past 30 years since the games initial publishing, and have since gone dark. What sites are still around are rare, incomplete, or saved via a web archiving service. This wiki was built on the idea of preserving what was for current and future generations of fans of great series. This site is generally English first, sites in other languages will be noted. For questions and comments, please reach out to Stonedreamer.
